Savoy lyrics:
"I wish there could be..."Mountains of Time
(1999)


Man in the Park

Hey, talk to the girl cause she's good.
She's a little misunderstood.
Talk to the girl cause she's good.
Hey, talk to the man cause he knows,
Just how the story goes.
Talk to the man that knows.

And I think you'll find that what he says
doesn't seem that crazy when you're in his head
and I think you'll see that what he thinks,
makes a lot of sense when you're on the brink.
When you're on the brink.

Hey, talk to the flower shop girl,
She's all alone in this world.
Talk to the flower girl.
Hey, talk to the man in the park.
He'll tell you that he's lost the spark.
Talk to the man in the dark.

And I think you'll find that what he says
doesn't seem that crazy when you're in his head
and I think you'll see that what he thinks,
makes a lot of sense when you're on the brink.
When you're on the brink.

He's the man in the dark.
He's the man in the park.

And I think you'll find that what he says
doesn't seem that crazy when you're in his head
and I think you'll see that what he thinks,
makes a lot of sense when you're on the brink.
When you're on the brink.

He's the man in the dark.
He's the man without spark.


Star (I'm Not Stupid Baby)

I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?

If I call you up, you are not alone
If I stay to late, you won't drive me home
If I ask you out, I know you won't come
I'm not stupid baby

I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?

If I say I do, you will say you don't
If I say I will, you will say you won't
If I ask you out, I know you won't come
I'm not stupid baby

I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?

Star...
Star...

In the morning and you're fast asleep
I can see you smile in your sleep

I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?
I go crazy with the way you are
You're such a star baby
I go crazy with the things you do
Can't I be you?
I'm not stupid baby
I'm not stupid baby


End of the Line

Four o'clock in the morning
Just got home as it's dawning
Catch me now that I'm falling
End of the line
Days go by in a heartbeat
Single life when it's bittersweet,
Gotta get back on my own feet
End of the line

And I don't know how to solve it
Don't know how to revolve it
I don't know what to call it...
But end of the line
I don't know how to break it
Don't know how I can take this
I don't know if I'll make it
To the end of the line
I turned away from something real
I walked away from something good

Nine o'clock in the evening
Wake me up if I'm dreaming
Every day leaves me reeling
End of the line
Yesterday, and she calls me back
She let's me know just where it's at
Harsh words for an insomniac
End of the line

And I don't know how to solve it
Don't know how to revolve it
I don't know what to call it...
But end of the line
I don't know how to break it
Don't know how I can take this
I don't know if I'll make it
To the end of the line
I turned away from something real
I walked away from something good

Days go by in a heartbeat
Single life when it's bittersweet,
Gotta get back on my own feet
End of the line

And I don't know how to solve it
Don't know how to revolve it
I don't know what to call it...
But end of the line
I don't know how to break it
Don't know how I can take this
I don't know if I'll make it
To the end of the line
I turned my back on from something real
I walked away from something good
I turned my back on from something real
I walked away from something good
Something good...


Any Other Way

Let the mountains fall beside you
Let the road stretch out ahead
Let the stars revolve above you
Far above your head
But is there any other way
to say what you say
Any other way
Cause if there's any other way
To say the things you say
I can't believe it has to be this way
Up until just yesterday
I was your sweet baby

Let the road stretch out before you
Let the stars revolve above
Let the mountains fall beside you
You're supposed to be in love
But is there any other way
to say what you say
Any other way
Cause if there's any other way
To say the things you say
I can't believe it has to be this way
Up until just yesterday
I was your sweet baby

If your life is so hard to define
Let's come back to it
And your thoughts
tumble 'round in your mind
Just come back to it
Things will get better with time
And I know that's a wonderful line
Things will get better with time

Is there any other way
to say what you say
Any other way
Cause if there's any other way
To say the things you say
I can't believe it has to be this way
Up until just yesterday
I was your sweet baby

If your life is so hard to define
Let's come back to it
And your thoughts
tumble 'round in your mind
Just come back to it
Things will get better with time
And I know that's a wonderful line
But things will get better with time
And I know that's a wonderful line
But things will get better with time
Yeah, I know that's a wonderful line
I know that's a wonderful line


When They Grind You Down

I got news from my brother yesterday
I got news from my brother, hey hey hey
When they grind you down, into the ground
And there's really no one to be found
I got news from my brother yesterday
He said, he had seen you, seen you with her
When you grind me down, into the ground
I won't ask for help, you not around

No one knows where the summer goes
You wait all year then the summer comes
Yeah the summer comes

No one knows where the summer goes
You wait all year then the summer comes
Yeah the summer comes

I got news from my brother just today
He said, he's really sorry, he made a mistake
When it grinds you down, into the ground
And you feel like sinking in the ground
No one knows where the summer goes
Wait all year then the summer comes
Yeah the summer comes

I got news...


Bottomless Pit

You say it wouldn't work
It wouldn't take
It wouldn't do any good
It wouldn't change a thing
And I being I
Can't say much to deny it
but I'm stuck with an urge
to only have tried it
You say it wouldn't do
It wouldn't shake
It wouldn't make any waves
It wouldn't be no use
And you being you
You know sure how to phrase it
And I being I
I just have to embrace it
Don't I

You say it wouldn't breathe
It wouldn't move
It wouldn't stay in the groove
It wouldn't stand a chance
You say it wouldn't wash
It wouldn't wear
It wouldn't go anywhere
It wouldn't do it for you
And I being I
Can't say much to deny it
but I'm stuck with an urge
to only have tried it
You say it wouldn't float
It wouldn't stick
It would sink like a brick
in a bottomless pit
In a bottomless pit

And you being you
You know sure how to phrase it
And I being I
I just have to embrace it
You say it wouldn't breathe
It wouldn't move
It wouldn't stay in the groove
It wouldn't stand a chance
At all


Mountains

We don't belong
Here any longer
I won't be surprised
If we're out by the summer
I'll always keep moving
Following you

Only the time
Only the time will do
Give me the time
To be with you
Mountains of time
I wish there could be
Just mountains

You look at me now
A little bit older
It's all in the eye
Of the beholder
And when I hold you
Nothing can feel so good

Only the time
Only the time will do
Give me the time
To be with you
Mountains of time
I wish there could be
Just mountains

And like a student I learn
That what is hot, it will burn
And like a river I'll turn
For no good reason
I'll always keep moving
Following you
Only the time
Only the time will do
Give me the time
To be with you
Mountains of time
I wish there could be
Just mountains
Mountains...


Ocean floor

Babe, it's true
I'm talking about me as you
There's a hole in the ocean floor
That I'm sinking through
Babe, it's real
I'm talking about how we feel
All the pain that we're going thru
Helps to keep it real

I know you from before
Do you think, I don't?
I see you by yourself
Do you feel alone

Babe, it's true
I'm talking about me as you
There's a hole in the ocean floor
That I'm sinking thru
Babe, it's high
I'm talking about tie-dyed
There's a hole in the polar-sky
I can see right thru

I love you once again
Do you feel I don't?
I want to take you back
Will you take me home
I want the sun to shine,
I want the sun to shine
I want the moon to glow,
I want the moon to glow
All the time

Babe, it's true
I'm talking about me as you
There's a hole in the ocean floor
That I'm sinking through
There's a hole in the ocean floor
That I'm sinking through

I want the sun to shine,
I want the sun to shine
I want the moon to glow,
I want the moon to glow
All the time


Everyone Can Say They're Sorry

Everyone can say they're sorry
Everyone else but me
Everyone can have a good time
Everyone else but me
Everyone can laugh
Everyone can talk
Everyone can smile
And everyone can walk

Everyone can make a new friend
Everyone else but me
Everyone can have a bad year
I don't have to disagree
Everyone can laugh
Everyone can need
Everyone can touch
And everyone can bleed

One fine day
Wrap your arms around me
Where I lay
Let your air surround me
One last time
Just pretend that I could
Be a part of your world

Everyone can laugh
Everyone can need
Everyone can touch
And everyone can bleed

One fine day
Wrap your arms around me
Where I lay
Let your air surround me
One last time
Just pretend that I could
Be a part of your world

Everyone can say they're sorry
Everyone else but me
Everyone can make a new start
Everyone else but me
Everyone else but me
Everyone else


See What Becomes

I'm standing in a doorway
I can't recall the day
A voice comes out from nowhere
I hear somebody say
(like in a daze)
Ahh...see what becomes
Ahh...see what becomes

I'm walking through a snowfall
I'm just a little kid
I'm going through some hard times
like many of us did
(I'm in a daze)
Ahh...see what becomes
Ahh...see what becomes of us

(like in a daze)
Ahh...see what becomes
Ahh...see what becomes of us
See what becomes
See what becomes of us
See what becomes of us
See what becomes


Break It Gently

Anybody could tell me baby but...
I'll wait
Anybody could tell me baby but...
I'll wait
Cause when you
When you say it you will
Say it nicely
And when you break it you will
You will make it gentle
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently...

I could tune to the grapevine baby but...
I'll wait
Start listening to rumors maybe but...
I'll wait
Cause when you
When you say it you will
Say it softly
And when you break it you will
You will make it gentle
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently...

Anybody could tell me baby but...
I'll wait
Cause when you
When you say it you will
Say it nicely
And when you break it you will
You will make it gentle
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently
You will
Break it gently...


Tongue Tied

And that's why
I'm tongue tied
Your love is real
And that's why
I'm moon shy
Your love is real
That's how it feels

Some will say
Live today
Like there's no tomorrow
Some will say
Come what may
You just have to follow
But if your world
Comes tumbling down
I will be right there
I will be right there
I will be...
Right there

I wouldn't hesitate
I wouldn't make you wait
I will be there
I wouldn't hesitate
I wouldn't make you wait
I will be there

And that's why
I'm tongue tied
Your love is real
That's how it feels

Some will say
Live today
Like there's no tomorrow
Some will say
Come what may
We can only follow
But if your world
Comes tumbling down
I will be right there
Yes, if your world just brings you down
I will be right there
I will be right there
I will be...
Right there
