Lie Di Die
by James Hill and Chris Parsons
Ooo ooo...
Glass elevators, tightrope serenaders
Nothing could ever compare
With the height that you took me to with your I love yous
And with the smell of your hair
Rumblin like a rocket
Powerless to stop it
Bright as a night in Times Square
My worries grew smaller the higher we flew
I didnt have time to be scared
But a flight is just a fall you walk away from
You walked away...
And my heart is singing Lie di die, di die, di die
Tonight in its cage
Like a little bird with a broken wing
Who might fly again someday
Ooo ooo...
Now my heart is like leather, tough as the desert
Worn as a medicine ball
Would you believe me if I told you he once
Had a the voice of a porcelain doll?
The words are long-gone but if you draw near
You can still hear his song through the wall
Chickadee may you warble on sweetly
Until Im as grey as Old Montreal
A flight is just a fall you walk away from
You walked away...
My heart is singing
Lie di die, di die
Like a little bird...
Oh, a flight is just a fall you walk away from
You walked away...
And my heart is singing Lie di die, di die, di die
Tonight in its cage
Like a little bird with a broken wing
Who might fly again someday
Like a little bird with a broken wing
Who might fly again someday
Ooo ooo...")

THE NIGHT
By James Hill
Performed by Uke Heads
The nighttime is to lovers
What the sea is to the sailor
What a dream is to a dreamer
Like you
And the bridle to the rider
Is what the thorn is to the briar
What the glove is to the fighter
All bruised
Fortune is to the beggar
What today is to forever
What the wing is to the prayer
Oh oh
And the is lie to the liar
What the fan is to the fire
What a good wine is to desire
Oh oh
Weve been gone, gone so long
Weve been gone, gone so long
Only the night knows who we really are
Two satellites in freefall round a star
Only the night knows who we really are
Oo ooo
The world is to the wanderer
What fall is to the summer
what a son is to a father
Oh oh
And dreams are to the tired
What the song is to the choir
What the bird is to the wire
Oh oh
Weve been gone, gone so long
Weve been gone, gone so long
Only the night knows who we really are
Two satellites in freefall round a star
Only the night knows who we really are
Oo ooo
Only the night knows who we really are
Two satellites in freefall round a star
Only the night knows who we really are
Oo ooo")
