The wretched desert takes its form
The jackal proud and tight In search of you I feel my way Through the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents I swear it make no sense I reach out through the border fence Come down, come talk to me In the swirling, curling storm of desire Unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes Towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief And offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf? Come on, come talk to me Ah, please talk to me Won't you please talk to me We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me The earthly power sucks shadowed milk From sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk The bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed Like there's no one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied Till we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me |

Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch This place is so quiet, sensing that storm Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down There is no blood around see no sign of pain Hay ay ay no pain Seeing no red at all, see no rain Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Red rain - Putting the pressure on much harder now To return again and again Just let the red rain splash you Let the rain fall on your skin I come to you defences down With the trust of a child Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me And I can't watch any more No more denial It's so hard to lay down in all of this Red rain is coming down Red rain is pouring down Red rain is coming down all over me I see it Red rain is coming down Red rain is pouring down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm bathing in it Red rain coming down Red rain is coming down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm begging you Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Over me in the red red sea Over me Over me Red rain |

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start And the darkness still has work to do The knotted chord's untying The heated and the holy Oh, they're sitting there on high So secure with everything they're buying In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man My grip is surely slipping I think I've lost my hold Yes, I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance anymore They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand? And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man At my request, you take me in In that tenderness, I am floating away No certainty, nothing to rely on Holding still for a moment What a moment this is Oh, for a moment of forgetting A moment of bliss Ohh I can hear the distant thunder Of a million unheard souls Of a million unheard souls Watch each one reach for creature comfort For the filling of their holes In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the union Of the woman and the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden We have done everything we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we began With the man in the woman And the woman in the man It was all for the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man |

River, river carry me on
Living river carry me on River, river carry me on To the place where I come from So deep, so wide will you take me on your back for a ride If I should fall would you swallow me deep inside River, show me how to float I feel like I'm sinking down Thought that I could get along But here in this water My feet won't touch the ground I need something to turn myself around Going away, away toward the sea River deep, can you lift up and carry me Oh roll on though the heartland 'Til the sun has left the sky River, river carry me high 'Til the washing of the water make it all alright Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight Letting go, it's so hard The way it's hurting now To get this love untied So tough to stay with thing 'Cause if I follow through I face what I denied I get those hooks out of me And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide River, oh river, river running deep Bring me something that will let me get to sleep In the washing of the water will you take it all away Bring me something to take this pain away |

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close, I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve Had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information I just had to trust imagination My heart going boom boom boom "Son," he said "Grab your things, I've come to take you home." To keepin' silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Tho' my life was in a rut "Till I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" he said "Grab your things I've come to take you home." When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty she pirouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No on taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom boom boom "Hey" I said "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home." |

I stood in this unsheltered place
'Til I could see the face behind the face All that had gone before had left no trace Down by the railway siding In our secret world we were colliding All the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? So I watch you wash your hair Underwater, unaware And the plane flies through the air Did you think you didn't have to choose it That I alone could win or lose it In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? In this house of make believe Divided in two, like Adam and Eve You put out and I recieve Down by the railway siding In our secret world we were colliding In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? Oh the wheel it is turning, spinning round and round And the house it is crumbling but the stairways stand With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame Whatever it is, we are all the same Making it up in our secret world Making it up in our secret world Making it up in our secret world Shaking it up Breaking it up Making it up In our secret world Seeing things that were not there On a wing on a prayer In this state of disrepair Down by the railway siding In our secret world we were colliding In all the places we were hiding love What was it we were thinking of? Shh, listen... |

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Don't give up 'cos you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I say it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything Don't give up 'cos somewhere there's a place where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Don't give up Please don't give up 'Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come and Whatever may go That river's flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Don't give up 'cos you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'cos I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong |

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart when I want to run away I drive off in my car but whichever way I go I come back to the place you are all my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside in your eyes the light the heat in your eyes I am complete in your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches in your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your eyes I see the light and the heat in your eyes oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light the heat I see in your eyes love, I don't like to see so much pain so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive and all my instincts, they return and the grand facade, so soon will burn without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside in your eyes the light the heat in your eyes I am complete in your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches in your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your eyes I see the light and the heat in your eyes oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes in your eyes |
