Caribou Album

Melody day what have I done
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
Then your smile it melts away again

Melody day where have you gone
And the hope I had is dying
And what we had has come undone
Then your smile it melts away again

Melody day what have I done
Now our hearts are locked up tight again
And when I pray it's all begun
Then your smile it melts away again

Tell them
Tell them I always knew why
So long
So I would like to say goodbye

Now I'm divided like a flock of birds when excited
And picture circles in the sky
You can't believe me
Like all of the others who leave me
And feel their shapes across the aisle

Twirl things around us
And the shadows they left as they found us
Or running fingers through your hair
It's life that ended and the tracks that they left as they ascended
They'll picture circles in the air

Sometimes in her eyes, I see forever
I can't believe what we've found
I know in time, we'll be together
And now our love will make this sound

Now I'm divided like a flock of birds when excited
And picture circles in the sky
You can't believe me
Like all of the others who leave me
And feel their shapes across the aisle

Sometimes in her eyes, I see forever
I can't believe what we've found
I know in time, we'll be together
And now our love will make this sound

Sometimes in her eyes, I see forever
I can't believe what we've found
I know in time, we'll be together
And now our love will make this sound

And you and I will follow down the street
And when the rivers end into the sea
While I remember what you mean to me

And you and I, a spiral spinning round
And standing in a circle on the ground
I'll follow you until you wear me out

And in your summer and in the air
Have you forgotten how you got us here?
While I remember how much I care

And in a dream I'm trying to forget
I feel the blood that rushes to my head
I need your love and all the things you've said

And in the leaves
And in my mind
You're always there

And in the leaves
And in my mind
You're always there

Call her thief, call her shallow and insincere
'Cause you'll never see just how perfect she could be
Then she's gone and my friends could come along
And they tell me that I'm happier
One more fight, yeah, you tell me all the time
How do I swallow my pride?

But she's the one, she's the one
But she's the one, she's the one

Time and time I hear things that can't be true
And it's only talk 'cause she'll never be so cruel
Every night there's a new name on her mind
That I don't think I recognize
And it's never strange just how long she stays away
I guess I'll have to compromise

Though she's the one, she's the one
But she's the one, she's the one

But she's the one, she's the one
But she's the one, she's the one

You told me things would have changed
And now we're back here again
You left me nowhere to start
And watch me falling apart

There's nothing left I can say
To stop it ending this way
I think you wanted me here
To watch it all disappear

Desiree, my mind's made up
Desiree, this can't go on
Desiree, my mind's made up
Desiree, you know we're not young

Desiree, my mind's made up
Desiree, this can't go on
Desiree, my mind's made up
Desiree, you know we're not young

when she opens her eyes she says she feels better
now she's falling apart and it's all in her mind
and soon she opens your letter
when she tries who knows what she will find

when she opens her eyes she says she feels better
she'll push you until she can see you unwind
she will tear you apart just as soon as you let her
when she tries who knows what she will find

she will never know
when she takes the time it makes her feel like letting go

Of pictures and of promises
An arrow drawn in time
That's pointing to me standing here
With your words on my mind

And every night I dream of you
While lying in my bed
And ever since I was a boy
keeps running through my head

(Promises, promises, promises, promises)

And when we meet
My mind is making promises of you
And when you go, I know you know
It breaks my heart in two

Irene
I know it's hard to stay away
I can only imagine
The things that you must say

But you should know
Better anyway
The way that you say

I fall so far
I fall so far

And every moment everything we used to share
Will she be waiting when I call, will she be there?

And every moment every thought that passes by
Only reminds me of the heart it must have tried

Niobe, niobe, (unintelligible)

I fall so far
I fall so far

I fall so far
I fall so far

Niobe, niobe, (unintelligible)
Niobe, niobe, (unintelligible)
