| Almost |

It almost feels insulting
It almost feel like hope
It almost throws me over
Then almost throws the rope

It almost feels like sinning
It almost feels like prayer
It almost pulls me under
Then almost gives me air

If I could just determine
Which one was more the truth
Until that day, I'll wait and curse
My borrowed, naive youth

| Mouse |

What happened on that day back in May?
When the mouse freed himself from the cat's paw?
Tell me the story and down we will lay
As I hear about all that you saw

What happened on that day back in May?
Did the mouse run til he couldn't no more?
Did he put down his roots where the cat couldn't play?
Finally find somewhere safe by the shore?

What happened on that day back in May?
He escaped he escaped he escaped he esca-
Decided that here is where he should stay
Everything's different here, everything's changed

One day, the mouse says, he'll forget it all
And nothing he'll run from, nothing at all

| Lucky |

What a lucky lucky girl you are, love
Created in such a lovely manner
Admired on earth and heaven above
And all who see her will surely love her

What a lucky lucky girl to be here
To burst forth from fire find your home
Amongst sun rays and waves, skies blue and clear
Only you could make all the earth your own

What a lucky lucky girl to be crowned
Heir to the kingdom and all of its gold
To have seen and found all you’ve seen and found
To somehow grow up without growing old

What a lucky lucky girl you are, now
And lucky am I to follow your sound

| The First Crack |

You are the first crack in the ice
That holds me above the water
The first change in unchanging eternity

The first tap on the glass
That I look out on the world through
A tap that asks eternity to end

When I fall into the water
When the glass shatters
There is your smile
And there is life
