I Let You Pass Me By
Sometimes I awake in the night and I feel that you’re near
But you’re not a ghost, you’re just deep down inside
That I can’t deny, I could never say goodbye though I try
I let time pass me by
Now you’re with someone new, I was with someone new
But you and I made a pact that if we’re alone
That we’ll find a home, I believe in the resurrection
But is it just a dream?
I let time pass me by
I let time pass me by
I let you pass me by
While I lay awake in the darkness
And the sun was shining bright outside
I’m never ever going to forget you
I’m never ever going to forgive you
I hope to God that I get over you
No, I don’t hope that I get over you
I hope my spirit will look over you
And if I were to pray I’d make a statue and pray at your feet everyday
I’m never ever going to forget you
I’m never ever going to forsake you
I hope to God that I get over you
No, I don’t hope that I get over you
I hope my spirit will look over you
And if I were to pray, if I ever pray, if I pray one day
I’d make a statue and pray at your feet everyday
Letting time pass me by
Letting time pass me by
I let you pass me by
I let you pass me by
I let you pass me by
I let you pass me by

Mina
As I spied on her dancing the rumba
All alone apart from me
She moved barefoot on marble cooled by sea breeze
She became my captor
My revelation in blood red cerise
As I hid there as she worked the rumba
I felt naughty exquisite fear
As she froze frame endangered within the wild
She had heard my breathe
I felt so tiny held by her stare
Her beautiful stare takes me
Hand in hand now we’re dancing the rumba
All is silence free from words
As I cut my forearm in a sweet ritual
She knows what to do
She licks the blood and heals the wound
This is Mina, she is the rumba
This is Mina, she is the rumba
Hello Mina, Mina, Mina
Hello Mina, we dance the rumba
Mina, Mina
Mina

The Mystery of Innocence
“This is where I used to pick blueberries amongst the pines
Away from the track nothing’s changed it’s like we’ve gone back
But the look the summer hut is bordered up”
Just like a smile, not just any kind of smile
It’s your smile of innocence, a face once alive
Such animation long since died
Those days have gone
It’s getting dark we must go home
“They don’t want kindergarten nurses anymore” you reminisce
No what they want is for you to play the part time whore
You’re so used and confused
How many times were you betrayed?
How many times was he forgiven?
It’s your smile of innocence, a face once alive
Such animation long since died
Those days have gone
It’s getting dark we must go home
Home is where the heartlessness hides, so traumatised
As I get close
I see the distance in your eyes
A face once alive
Such animation long since died
Those days have gone
It’s getting dark we must go home
What is innocence anyway?
It’s just made to take away
Cute gullibility
Naive purity
What is innocence anyway?
It’s just made to take away
A word in your dictionary
Because when it’s gone it's become
A mystery
