I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true That our love it has faded Like the summer run through So well walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin hearts Like a feather But who knows whats waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Dont be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow Weve gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It dont come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You cant compromise Take my hand Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver |

Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all Find a spirit of resistance Instead of pride before the fall Forge some opposition From disparate strands It ain't the prettiest position As a century ends Unstable situation Faces made of wax Streams of melting glass Sheets of butchered facts The roar of the machine Hooded hearts and jewelled hands And anger spilling out like gasoline As a century ends Everything I seen, everything that I heard It ain't even the top of the iceberg Fire down memory lane So pass me my rose tinted glasses again Through a fog of contradiction Out to the lake of tears See society admiring it's own reflection Chase a light that shines and disappears Careful what you say, 'cause reality offends Just sit back and let your soul decay As a century ends And it's easy to get weary As you fight to get it done Against a popular theory That it's over before it's even begun Strain the limit of compassion Tend a wound that never mends And honesty still out of fashion As a century ends |

Drunken ferry boat woman
swayin' on your sea if I turn on the gasfire by the rain rattled window won't you sail over to me And the hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move in the porch with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Your blouse your skirt I'll undo them so gently with beautiful care I'm a lonely man with five bottles of wine I'd like you to share The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move through the doors with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Orange street light afternoon becomes night you drink your wine from a mug there's cats at the backdoor the snow is two inches you roll down your tights on the rug The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you lie on the floor with me come closer my love I'm badly in need of an afternoon's debauchery |

The hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen And the river of words Is flowing on through The cages of tradition They're handing out emptiness We'll take it, 'cause it's given Free with this plastic innocence And these standards of living Questions, lighted questions Burnin' holes into my head Hanging like shadows o'er the sun Staring out like the eyes of the dead And sometimes my soul flickers As the wind of change blows cold Over the mire of repetition Down the corridors of rigamarole What I say, what I think What I put down in ink I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand And I mean no harm I'm just searching for calm In the storm of mankind Do you find it there In the sea of faces That drowns you every day Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces Where children and rottweilers play Is it buried in the praise Given so cheap With a meaningless movement of the jaws In the looking glass That flatters you Or in the rattle of hollow applause Blind circle, moon and sun Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting From the hub to the limit Through the urban hollows Out into the poles of the extreme To echo through the numbness Of these godless minutes In the shadow of delusion's regime But here watching the night As it opens like a flower And the day starts to rust Feeling time pound Like a silent hammer On this empire of dust And I'm thinking 'bout the bullet And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist And if we're searching for peace How come we still believe In hatred as the catalyst Through the borderline In front and behind Down the road of thorns Between the the barbwire and the soul Bitters and chains Is all that remains Where the wheel has rolled I feel it from the pit of my stomach Into the ditch of my mind Inside the chambers of my heart As I stare half blind At these walls of cardboard At this space that I've rented At your beauty that is crumbling Though you try so hard to prevent it On and on Body willing, mind undone One pain ending while another begins Lies, ruin, disease Into wounds like these Let the truth sting Let the truth sting Let the truth sting |

I got no reason
but that I must maybe I feel like I've been gathering dust I must leave this harbour for the sea I'm too young to settle down and make a home but I don't know where I'm wanting to be I just know I have to be there alone Stole my time, all my time stole my time, for you Pale winter sun is beating the ground why am I throwing away the best thing that I've found My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure that it will be a long time healing It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for when loneliness is all that I'm feeling Stole my time, all my time spent my time, for you Now the wind it is blowing blowing leaves from the trees I've got no use knowing that with time it will ease I don't know where I'm going hope I get there soon 'Cos my soul is hollow as the sorrowful moon Now the wind it is blowing blowing leaves from the trees I've got no use knowing that with time it will ease I don't know where I'm going hope I get there soon 'Cos my soul is hollow as the sorrowful moon as the sorrowful moon as the sorrowful moon Oh the night is raining on my weary head taking my back See the sun spread wings of gold as the dawn unfurls hear the song that the moon sings to the darkened world Feel the fire lighting in the bitter cold It's the light that shines through the windows of your soul Windows of your soul na na na na Windows of your soul na na na na |

Time no good
Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore Now night has fallen on the stair Some things you do you can never repair Seems I'm always pretending Things aren't there when they are And the leaves are nearly off the trees The traffic thick past yellow windows And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights Thinking of you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore And the trees are looking like bones And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain I'm staring out of this metal train Thinking of you And the trees are looking like bones The afternoon filled with rain and storm And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns No way through Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore Trees like bones, yellow windows Memories, thorns, oh and you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore |

I care little for my body she said
I couldn't care less about my soul and as she lead me upstairs in whispers my whole summer turned cold I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs If you've got no worries then I've got no cares I lead you upstairs I told her people had been talking about how dark she was inside She said my hope are buried in the soil deep in the earth outside and with one twist of the world she brought me to her side She asked me for the truth one time and all I did was lie I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs If you've got no worries then I've got no cares I lead you upstairs I lead me upstairs in whispers my whole summer turned cold my whole summer turned cold I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs If you've got no worries then I've got no cares I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs I lead you upstairs |

My good friends speak
Like they did last year Last night's a blur Through a head full of beer My good friends speak Like they did last year And last year's just a blur Through a head of full beer Where's your wisdom Put that broken bottle down Let the wind in your sails Take you out of this town So sad I think I'm dying And if life's just a living room Then I'm in the hall and I'm glad If life's just a living room I'm in the hall and I'm glad Oh I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad Now the dawn it has broke Still the night don't clear Memories falling in the morning rain I'm up too close to see it clear And last year's just a blur Through a head full of beer I think I'm dying And if life's just a living room Then I'm in the hall and I'm glad If life's just a living room I'm in the hall and I'm glad Oh I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad |

Wishing that something would happen
a change in this place 'cause I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping find an empty package Take for a while your trumpet from your lip loosen your hold, loosen your grip on your old ways that have fallen out of step in a changing time hoist a new flag hoist a new flag Angry sun burn down judging us all guilty of neglect and disrespect and thinking small And death by boredom and death by greed if we can't stop taking more than we need Across the fractured the landscape I see the same things tired ideas birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings But these are just thoughts on lackluster times and I've no interest in excuses you can find Like you've had a hard day now you're too tired to care now you're too tired to care you've had a hard day Well across the fractured landscape I see the same things tired ideas, broken values many with the notion that to share is to lose a hollow people bound by a lack of imagination and too much looking back without the courage to give a new thing a chance grounded by this ignorance When the cat comes we're just birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings |

In the bitter violet night
The stars wear sour grins In the vastness of the black sky I'm cradled in your arms Unbridled by alarm 'Cause I know the end is nigh It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now Confusion wanders in Strides the evening like a king Chaos and turmoil prevail Bedlam reigns, hope is drowned As, but strangely we settle down Resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now Our love's just smithereens Too much beer in my head Another night is getting late And I don't know where to go There's just this long white road And I can't think straight No I can't think straight It's all over bar the shoutin' One thing's for sure It's all over now It's all over now |

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 |
