What are you?
what are you becoming? what have you become? Once you sang your own song now you're dancing to the same drum what have you become? And what is that you're wearing? money's ugly confidence You sacrificed the poem of your imagination for these pounds and pence Me I take the cynic's role throw scorn on your empty mind I've seen this monotonous world make dull what used to shine you lost interest you lost your spine oh that spine fine fine yeah When there' nothing left on this plate you're handed you find yourself running the gauntlet of all of these double standards it's very thin ice over which you're skating and after this black winter the thaw So what are you tell me tell me what are you and what have you become |

You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire My heart smoulders in the night And these tumbling boulders of desire Come rolling out the shadows in me Rolling out the shadows in me Rolling out the shadows in me You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurting As your lonely siluete closes the curtain Back on the road destination uncertain So lets get in this car and drive And this feeling I feel so strong So powerful it cant be wrong Now the whole frosted night is just a song A song for you A song for you A song for you Now the moon is splashed right over the street Like my tears on your thighs so pale It's just you and me in the sheets And the whole wide world is just a jail When you're away from me You're away from me You're away from me And it's rolling on by Here come the night You turn out the light And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire My heart smoulders in the night And these tumblin boulders of desire And we're rolling And we're rolling Rolling rolling rolling Rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling Ahh rolling Rolling rolling rolling Rolling out the shadows in me You turn out the light |

Tears falling slow.
From the bridge into the river below. In your eyes I start to see. A starry veil and the oceans of infinity. Moon and stars above me. Mingle with the blood inside my veins. Empty arms that should be Holding me close through nights of winter rain. And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain. It's colder than ever coming down Now I'm drowning in shallows Cause I'm in so deep There's neon melting in the rain I took too much powder to sleep When I hold you naked When I hear your laugh I got a sword to stem the rivers And cut the moon in half. Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down We danced wild Kicked off our shoes Not a cloud in the the sky to confuse. Now the sky is cold and the sea is white And there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun And scratching the mountain side Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down |

All of my senses overthrown
by the might of your skin and the lamplight on your cheek bone drawing me further in no sentence I can speak for the wonder so unique breaking like a wave upon the shore mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door See how the sky is made of sapphire the colours flowing through our hands the moon is fire in your hair a million miles beyond what science understands smell that mountain heaven I don't remember ever feeling like this before mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door And if every window pane should shatter if every wall should fall apart well it might hurt a bit but would it matter this diamond in my heart there's no need to nail it to the ground there's no need to smother it with sense just listen to the rhythm of your heart that pounds and trust it all to chance 'cause we're standing face to face with the Angel of grace and don't it just taste so pure mercy me, I'm falling free mercy me, I'm falling free mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door |

Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
roaring down the open road, wind on my skin I?m hungry to begin, my cup has overflown so let fall the rain down into these desert veins taking back what they stole these diamonds in the mine can afford to become fine in someone else's pigeon hole So I made up my mind made up my mind gonna move on ahead instead of lagging behind Half past seven way up in the heaven the stars are singing in the sky lying half dressed, your head upon my breast listening to the ocean's lullaby standing where we are, it seems so far from the cold light of day with the faces full of grief, and the grinding up of teeth has been eating my belief away So I made up my mind I made up my mind gonna move on ahead instead of lagging behind instead of lagging now.. Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe shining down the avenue try to join the throng but it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air turn to watch the sun set red and the ruins of a culture of a sky that's filled with vultures circling over your head So I made up my mind I made up my mind gonna move on ahead instead of lagging behind instead of lagging behind I made up my mind.... |

The city gates at twilight
And a red ship sinking Behind winter's grey wall Ice in the wind But a fire in the embers of my heart As darkness falls In a candlelit room Where your eyes are laughing Smoking in the red chair And nothing in the world 'cept the beating of my heart Against the nerves of the air And I know there's a light At the end of the tunnel Cos I taste it on your lips And I feel a weight That can bear me double You lift it with your fingertips So often it happens That words prove useless In the face of how it feels So it is as the mystery of love keeps growing The more my heart reveals Temptations endless whispers Try to keep it in perspective So much to distract Walking on a wire While your juggling desire It's all part of this balancing act And it gets hard to know Just what you believe As the argument rages on But for all of the talk Its only true to say That if you have no hope There is none A tangle of tongues Flesh flowers and thistles of conscience, spittle and skin We can't change the past So we'll raise this cup to our lips And drink it all in And meantime back in civilization The rain is cold as steel But the mystery of love It just keep growing The more my heart reveals As sure as the rose The bright day blooms As surely still it fades And the night kindles stars On empty winds And ghosts along the collonades And slow but sure the sands are falling As the bridge burns beneath the wheel And the mystery of love It just keeps growing The more my heart reveals The more my heart reveals |

Its a sad old world
that's turning tonight as I slide through the streets moonlight and memory burning and in my hand your broken dream My watery eyes I sing for you this lullaby let the shadow fall from your window let the morning light fill your head stand up and let the wild wind blow right into your soul till the night is dead All these useless emotions churning round as I search these bare walls for a clue and all the time the truth is flashing in my mind that when a heart gets broken there's nothing you can do My watery eyes I sing for you this lullaby let the shadow fall from your window let the morning light fill your head stand up and let the wild wind blow right into your soul till the night is dead And I?m packing my belongings hey I?ll be gone before the noon arrives cos I know there's no use pretending soon it'll all be alright But hey let the shadow fall from your window let the morning light fill your head stand up and let the wild wind blow right into your soul till the night is dead See the dawn break gold when the night is dead Hear the bells |

weight on my shoulder
but I'm walkin so tall out into the new horizons Wonder in everything no matter how great or small Howlin like the midnight howlin like the midnight sun And this aint no pale reflection this is the real thing New horizon New horizon within And your heart ain't yours to control no matter how tight the reign Love will find it's own direction A time to reap, a time to sow and many a time to cry in vain but now's the time to celebrate the glory of this imperfection Same thing that's scrawled across the stars is written under our skin New horizon, new horizon within If things come to easy, I get suspicious If things come to slow, I get bored If it don't work out, I get superstitious but if it does, then oh my word! So I'm gethering all the remnants of beauty from this wilderness in spin and now I'm gonna light my own flame Cause I'm charged with all the radiance of the gold (?) that's been so long breakin and now there ain't nowhere there ain't nowhere I wouldn't write your name There's a time to search for understanding sometimes you just gotta sing New horizon, new horizon within Baby there's no need to get precious you know that everything must change complacency can be so vicious turn this love into a cage Same thing that's scrawled across the stars is written under our skin New horizon, new horizon within New horizon, new horizon within within, within New horizon, new horizon within rollin, rollin... |

It's like this
It's all in here Just one kiss Will make that clear So let the flower open Let the ship sail Don't need no meaningless token To hear the nightingale For everything that's been For all that's yet to come Brow full of moonbeams Singing loves old song Beauty threads its needle In every eye a light will shine From the graveyard to the cradle All the bells of wonder chime No further complication Here for the queen or for the pawn Night of such revelation The Jew is trembling on the thorn For everything that's been For all that's yet to come Brow full of moonbeams Singing loves old song Loves old song Playing in our hearts Binding it together Pulling it apart Loves old song Playing pure and bold Time has come to read What's written in your soul Yeah yeah yeah Out in the fields of bloody slumber Shadows fleeing from the sun Without aim and without number These children of oblivion For everything that's been For everythingaas that come A brow full of moonbeams Singing loves old song Loves old song Playing in our hearts Binding it together Pulling it apart Loves old song Playing pure and bold Time has come to read What's written there in your soul Yah yah yeah Whoa oh oh For everything that's been For everythingaas that come Brow full of moonbeams Singing loves old song |

As the bell must strike the hour
as the west must stab the sun so our hearts must heed the flow of deeper tides that run far beyond the bare indifference that prosperity esteems where the spirit raves and dances through our very veins At winters edge you found me by the fields of wild gold my hands still filled with ashes from fires long cold you pulled me from the wreckage of bitterness and blame flung open the page and put some flesh on the bones of my dreams On the streets the blossom snowing and the drum is beating slow and I hear you speak so clear well I’m slicing through the fear setting all the beacons blazing, baby oh! it's staring out plainer than ever brighter than all the fools gold that gleams it's simply now or never putting flesh on the bones of my dreams Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams putting flesh on the bones of my dreams And they can plunder the cave of sorrows they can strip the gallery bare try to build a fence around the visions in our heads, choke every spark in a cloak of despair but we got something they can't stifle with their price tags and picture frames got a flower for every rifle putting flesh on the bones of my dreams |
