Maria Taylor

In the red sky a bed of roses
caution in your eyes as it exposes
overcome with fear
from what's behind
hold out your hand,
I'll hold out mine
Angel in the sky throws
lights like diamonds
caution in your eyes
as they are blinding
overcome with tears
from what's to come
because everybody loves to love
Green butterfly
where you been hiding
caution in your wings
as spring is rising
overcome by the grace
of your stride
we're all along for the ride

Tell me what I'm waiting for
Just signal if I'm getting warm
Is there really something more
that I am after
Tell me what I'm searching for
Don't lead me to another door
That opens to a perfect world,
but not for me not for me
On my idle mind
My idle mind
My idle mind
Come closer to you
Tell me was it in my head
Did I sabatoge with things I said
For a thin interpretation
of freedom
Tell me what I'm waiting for
Just signal if I'm getting warm
Is there really something more
that I am after
On my idle mind
My idle mind
My idle mind
Come closer to you
In the constellations,
in the night's shadows
Is there a sightless hand
that points you where to go
And you stand faithfully
And I'll believe
It's true
On my idle mind
My idle mind
My idle mind
Come closer to you

You go back and forth,
it's no direction
You walk hand in hand,
it's not love
You can't blame the mind for
dreamin' like it does
Do you feed the void
or your addiction
If you have faith
you'll rise above
You can't blame the mind for
believin' like it does
Ooh, like it does
There's no vow to make you honest
There's no confession
that will make you pure
Can't blame the mind for
searchin' for the cure
Don't pat your back
for good intentions
It's an excuse
for your careless hands
You can't blame the mind for
forgetting best you can
Ooh, best you can
You go back and forth,
it's no direction
You walk hand in hand,
it's not love
You can't blame the mind
for the dreamin' that it does
Ooh, like it does

He's always got a new kill,
he comes back for more
He's a matador
He's always got a new kill,
he comes back for more
He's a matador
They worship and adore
he's out for blood
He was the chosen son,
he was the chosen one
The pitiful disease has just begun
I was the lucky one,
I was the lucky one
Every day's a new day
outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered
Every day's a new day
outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered
They worship and adore,
he's out for blood
He was the chosen son,
he was the chosen one
The pitiful disease has just begun
I was the lucky one,
I was the lucky one
Watch it disappear in the red sky
Keep it here and watch it die
He's always got a new kill,
he comes back for more
He's a matador
Every day's a new day
outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered
Every day's a new day
outside the door
But I've surrendered
Every day's a new day
outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered
Every day's a new day
outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered
Every day's a new day
outside the door
'Cause I've surrendered

I've been waiting at the
Greyhound station
I've been trying to
find someone like you
But I never do
I've been trying to
change my patterns
So I could love someone like you
But I never do
And this could take a lifetime
To believe in something true
But I hope that's not what I do
You've been walking around these
same sad circles
Trying to find someone
to stand by you
Baby I have too
You've been trying
to believe in someone
After all the things
she did to you
You know I've been there too
And this could take a lifetime
To believe in something true
But I hope that's not what you do
And this could take a lifetime
To believe in someone as true
But I hope that's not what I do

This first winter
I can't pretend that I didn't know what you were
When you walked into my door

These hours that I stare into a lantern red
I hear the train at night give promises of light

Was I loved enough
To believe in us
Silhouettes
Dancing ghosts

As that goes through my mind
Falling far behind
I knew it would end this way
But I chose it anyway

Was I taken up
To your empty god
Your haunted voice
Singing ghost

If you think of me
Since spotting memory
Just don't, don't

Was I lost enough
To believe in us
Silhouettes dancing

Was I taken up
To your empty god
Your haunted voice
Singing

If you think of me
Since spotting memory
Silhouettes dancing
Silhouettes dancing
Ghosts

We can make plans
I'll give all I can
You were my man
On the gold coast sand

You can go to New Orleans
Take the river front-line
But don't leave my mind

You can go each day takes you
Some place I can't find
But don't leave my mind

We can break plans
I'll keep all I can
You'll be my friend
And start over again

And you can go to New York City
Get a place on the east side
But don't leave my mind

And you can go where no one knows you
Where the winter is kind
But don't leave my mind

And you can go I can't find you
There's no space, there's no time
But don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind
Don't leave my mind

When the hour is late
And all is lost to find
Nothing more can absolve
Can find its way out tonight

To find you

I see mist like ghosts
Over long these country roads
They part their ways for me
As I search for my love

For you
For you

Good love
I tell my song to find you
To find you
To find you
Find you

It could have been a patch
Some say that it was cursed
You spent your whole life
Trying to wash away the dirt

They said that you were nothing
With the hands under your skirt
So you taught yourself a way
With a rag under your shirt

Oh Larraine

Your daddy loved you wrong
While you planted his gun
Your mother turned her face
Being princess of grace

Oh Larraine

They left you in the woods
To find your way back like a dog
You cried in the dark
While they drank beers on the lawn

Oh Larraine

The nightmares wouldn't stop
So you drink them to a haze
But when you cut the lines
They put you away

You had a little girl
Who had songs about your pain
An episode of grace
Now she's living in L.A.

Oh Larraine
Oh Larraine

Most of them I never knew
But that is just as well
Even as I cry for you
I know they're all in hell

Oh Larraine

Don't you know it was all for you, Larraine
Everything I did was for you, Larraine
‘Cause what they did to you they did to me

Oh I wanted love and permanence
You wanted the night
When the stars fell to their death

And now I'm in the city
Where the lights burn so bright
That I don't have to see them ever again
But I miss them

I know it breaks their hearts
Oh, just how far I had to go

From this place I came from
Darkness illuminated one
Our eyes missed a terrible love pass away
Assuring you things

So break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart again

Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart
Oh break my heart again

So that I might see

If I can make your heart
Feel always loved
I would give my whole world up
For you to feel always loved

If I can make your heart
Feel always joy
I would walk a thousand miles
For you to feel always joy

If I could make your heart
Feel always loved
I'd give my whole world up
For you to feel always loved

If I can make your heart
If I can make your heart

There was wonder underneath the quilted sky
Did we stand too close to see the seams at night

Can we keep it light
Constant hands of time
Creeping in too soon

I counted thirty seven signs
It's probably just my mind
What it likes to do

Were they out there
Were they out there

And if I could give this a shot
Could you a safe to place our trust into

We were their dumbs of bad bad timing
All these reminders like the pink sun rising

Can we keep it light
Constant hands of time
Creeping in too soon

I counted thirty seven signs
It's probably just my mind
What it likes to do

Were they out there
Were they out there

And if I could give this a shot
Could you a safe to place our trust into

Cause I have been lied to
And I have been made a fool
And I would give this a shot
If you would too
If you would too

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

And I'll go on and on again
On and on again
On and on and on

Young girl by your side
She asks no questions
So you don't lie

How effortless it can be
She feels lucky
And you are free

Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you still
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
You that way, you that way

Now it's meant to use
Do they know you still come here
Day gives into night
And I'm guilty of wanting light

Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved me that way
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved me still
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved me that way
Me that way, me that way

Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you still
Shouldn't have loved
Shouldn't have loved you that way
You that way, you that way
You that way

I'm a little worried
That I killed something inside of me
When I let you go

Days were dark with you in my mind
I thought it best to be free

And now the birds don't sing
And the trees don't speak
And I don't see signs in the leaves
Anymore

I'm a little worried
That I killed something inside of me
When I let you go

It's a stranger's eyes that won't meet mine.
There's nothing left there to divide

'Cause the birds don't sing
And the trees don't speak to me
And I don't see signs in the leaves
Anymore

I'm a little worried
I'm a little worried
That I killed something inside of me
When I let you go
When I let you go
When I let you go

Sea shining waves
Silver sorrow
Come tomorrow
I'll be out of here

It's easy as it came
It's tough to swallow
That it's gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone, gone

Feel the sting of time right to your heart
Every turn you try a brand new start
See the strangers and the strange way you share
Some of none they ever had

Crown me queen
In the valley of the fire
Soft desire
Drawing down the moon
Fool to complain
It won't get better
Till you surrender
All your main games

Feel the sting of time right to your heart
Every turn you try a brand new start
See the strangers and the strange way you share
When you do, you do the best that we can
What we do, we do the best that we can

Baby
Now I can tell you my secret
Don't turn around you might miss it
Graceful and proud like a sunset

Baby
I'm scared to let go if you're leaving
All that we see isn't bleeding
Hard to believe it was worth it

Baby
You took my heart I was sleeping
Now I don't know I was losing
I didn't make reminiscing

Wake up
Wake up
This is only a dream

Baby
Now I can tell you my secret
Don't turn around you might miss it
Graceful and proud like a sunset

Baby
I'm scared to let go if you're leaving
All that we see isn't bleeding
Hard to believe it was worth it

Baby
You took my heart I was sleeping
Now I don't know I was losing
I didn't make reminiscing

Wake up
Wake up
This is only a dream

Sinking eyes
Heavy spirit, your drifting mind
Weave the middle of the passing time
Hoping we would never show it

So these words from your mouth
I thought I was strong until my strength wore out
I was chasing this shadow's end
I didn't create it

It was long long long enough
I lost sight of what it's worth
It was long long long enough

Do you want to be named
In the end as a hunter or game
You're hurt or your hurt is the same
There's still part of me tired

And where have you been
Did you look did you take it all in
Are you walking in circles again
Like you lost the horizon

It was long long long enough
I was lost in a flash of light
It was long long long enough

Long long long enough

You're one with the burdon of intuition.
You're one with the freedom of a blank stare.
You're one with the best friend you lost,
You wish was still there.

You're one with the dust on that old piano.
You're one with the strings on your new guitar.
You're one with the wind through the open window,
You are.

It was a faint line that brought you here,
And a pulse that kept you in time.
It was the comfort of a tradition,
Like the few that were not that kind.

It's a shame now, baby, you can't see yourself, And everything you're running from.
And it's the same world, honey, that has brought You down,
As the one that's gonna pick you up.
And pick you up.

You're one with the echos of conversation.
You're one with the strangers you overheard.
You're one with the lesson that was the best one you learned.

And it's the same world, honey, that has brought You down,
As the one that's gonna pick you up.
And pick you up.

It was a long, dark, sleepy morning walk.
You fell down, case and point.
It was a good start.
It was a good start.

It was a long, dark, sleepy morning walk.
You fell down, case and point.

It's a shame now, baby, you can't see yourself, And everything you're running from.
And it's the same world, honey, that has brought You down,
As the one that's gonna pick you up.

And it's a shame now, baby, you can't separate
Yourself from where you stood.
And it's the same world, honey, that made you feel so bad,
That makes you feel so good.
Feel so good.

Dinner call in the late afternoon
The sun step down for the moon
Story books, nightlights
And I still remember songs
Piano sing-alongs
And the colored sounds of spring
Its harmony
Do you still remember?
Fireflies, four-leaf clovers
Fingerpainted skin
Where life was a reaction
And love was just laughing with a friend

Down out in the backyard stream
Make a wish for your dream
Maybe a kiss maybe a ring
And I still remember songs
The banjo sing-alongs
And the crisp sound of fall
I still recall
Do you still remember?

Flashlights under covers
Raindrops on my tongue
When life had no distractions
And love wasn't hurting anyone

Fireflies, four-leaf clovers
Fingerpainted skin
We don't know where we're going
We'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

We'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

Save my money
For that plane ride
Horn of plenty
Heavy sunlight
Autumn's bounty
Bread and red wine
In a hurry
But there's so much time

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you
But please come soon

The wind sounds angry
But my coat's kind
Wrapped in blankets
In the daylight
Winter's longing
Somewhere to close behind
In a hurry
But there's so much time

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you

Is it in a plan
Written in your hand
Believe or understand
Something other than

Fear is blinding lights
Squeeze my eyes so tight
Could you make a flower grow
Would you let me know

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you
But please come soon

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

Oh now the roots are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
The cymbals swell
High notes flail into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song...

I'm keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
And they can run, they can run from the font to the last rites
And we can hear, we can hear the first beat to the flat line
I'm keeping up, keeping up with the time lapse lifeline
And once it's done

Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was just like that
And just like that, and just like that it's done

Back it up, back it up - stop, fast-forward, rewind
And watch the sun watch the moon taking turns in the same sky
And you were dead as the leaves, now you're new like the springtime
Back it up, back it up - stop, fast-forward, rewind
And once it's done

Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was just like that
And just like that, and just like that it's done
Oh we dreamed a life
It was just like that, was just like that
And just like that, and just like that it's done

Still, we stand with the help of a steady hand
Capture images: a boy, a man. Until it's done
And seven years combined is just a flicker of a neon sign
Little negatives of hopes refined until they're done,
Oh they're done

Oh we dreamed a life It was just like that, was just like that
And just like that, and just like that it's done
Oh we dreamed a life It was just like that, was just like that
And just like that, and just like that it's done
Oh we dreamed a life It was just like that, was just like that
And just like that, and just like that it's done

I made my place by the door.
I didn't know what I was waiting for.
Felt just like home.
Except no grass, no yard, no pictures.

I could see across to the park.
And there were friends, they were laughing hard.
They looked just like my home.
With no face, no name, no voice I'd know.

I finally made it.
I made a clean getaway.
I finally made it.
I made a clean getaway.

I met someone at the bar.
He had a great smile and a great heart.
He felt just like love.
Except no fear of losing, and it wasn't tough.

I finally made it.
I made a clean getaway.
I finally made it.
I made a clean getaway.
And I miss you,
I miss you every single day.

Nonstop talk
It's eleven o'clock
There's a line coming out the door
I'm not feeling it
But I swore I'd go

Thrift shop
Rock a little light on a cock
All the kids screaming out for more
I'm not getting it
I'd swear I've been here before

How can you rap
For all that sunset?
The sequin still isn't done
And I'd like to know
You get me

Third full sip (?)
Off the straight line tip
Just one now, but I want more
Another, promise me
Thrown out the door

Through a bloodshot haze
Watch the day get paid
Find a friend, ask him take me home
And could you stay awhile
Now I can't be alone

How can you rap
For all that sunset?
The sequin still isn't done
And I'd like to know
You get me

How can you rap
For all that sunset?
The sequin still isn't done yet
I'd like to know
You get me

I never said that it was mine
I was just holding it
If i was lonely all this time
Well, i didn't know it
And if i tried too hard
I'd probably blow it
The rest is just a guess

If it's all just luck
It was tough enough
If we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up

I never said that it was time
I was just hoping it
If i was always on your mind
Well, you didn't show it
But when i'd shut my eyes
You'd always know it
The rest could be the best

And if it's all just luck
It was tough enough
If we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up

And a heart that grieves
Gets lost in everything
And a heart in need
Finds hope in anything

If it's all just luck
It was tough enough
And if we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up
If we lost some time
Then we'll make it up, up
We lost some time
Now we're making it up, up

Maria: "We're gonna have some more tunes and um, and we're NOT gonna stop!"
Mr. Taylor: "Let's stop and listen to that."
Maria: "Ok. Uh, wha... what?"
Mr. Taylor: "Let's just stop for now. We'll do it again later on."
Maria: "Oh. We're stoppin, Momma."
Mr. Taylor: "I think we've gotta hit there."

If you listen to the stream
You may get thirsty
If you watch the dying tree
You may feel weak

But don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

If you watch the t.v. screen
You may feel hollow
If you hear the wedding vows
You may feel drunk

But don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

And there are better days
Then i'm on my way
Just follow the headlight

And don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

And no, don't you feel sorry
Don't you get worried
Please don't at all
Don't you take pity
It's my own fault

I saw the devil in a dream.
He wore a three-piece suit and was smiling.
He promised every living thing to me.

And when the land was all despair.
He made water spring from everywhere.
Until the black hills turned back to green.

And then heat was tipping and smoke was spilling
They poured out into the street.
And I was frightened by my fearlessness to be Engulfed by everything.

And what I knew, was left behind.
There were no stars, or a wish, to find.
And there was nothing in my clenching fist,
And I just can't wait for tomorrow,
Cause I will let go-
Just ask me.

I saw the devil in a dream.
He wore faded jeans, and was smiling.
He promised every living thing to me.

And when a soul was in despair,
He made confetti fall from everywhere,
Until the restless eyes go back to sleep.
And then minds were tipping and thoughts were Spilling,
They poured out into the street.
And I was frightened by my fearlessness to be Drowned by everything.

And what I knew, was left behind.
There were no stars, or a wish, to find.
And there was nothing in my clenching fist,
And I just can't wait for tomorrow,
Cause I will let go-
Just ask me.

And what I knew, was left behind.
There were no stars, or a wish, to find.
And there was nothing in my clenching fist,
And I just can't wait for tomorrow,

Just ask me.

There's some things she needs to verify.
Could you bring forth an alibi?
Cause she was always inbetween the jury and the Attorney.

You give an ultimatem, and he will decline.
And he was undecided most of the time.
And he was always inbetween his life and a movie Scene.

And the weight of our words is what we don't Understand.
All the tests and the parts of every woman and Every man.

So with dignity and grace,
All you have to raise
All the things in your mind that we
Play, and we play, and we play.
The things that made you cry
That you forgave, let go by,
Or you will push the one you love out of your Life.

And there was always something she had to plan
She's always looking down in her left hand
She was always inbetween her life and her Childhood dream.

And there was always something he had to mend.
You give a rule, you give him something to bend.
And he was always inbetween his word and what His word means.

And the weight of our words is what we don't Understand.
All the tests and the parts of every woman and every man.

So with loyalty embraced,
All you have to sustain
All the things in your mind,
That will change they will change.
The things that made you lie,
You want to forget and let go by.
You will push the one you love out of your life.

So with dignity and grace,
All you have to raise
All the things in your mind that we
Play, they replay, they replay.
The things that made you cry
That you forgave, let go by,
Or you will push the one you love out of your Life.

The music stopped
You watch the people walk away
Your eyes reflected light that shone down
from the stained glass windowpane
Now we could talk
But the words would come out wrong
And there is no black or white
But still, we just move on

And you're never gonna be the same
from this moment you'll rise
to a height only gained by a compromise
share the glimpse of a new beginning
And now you've changed
But just a small part of me believes this
And you will stay
But just a small part of me believes this

And for good luck,
we wear three keys to keep life prosperous
There's a looming shadow
that stands before us
And what was lost
Was the reason to believe
And the innocence and the will to retrieve it

And you're never gonna be the same
from this moment you'll rise
to a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And you're never gonna be the same
from this moment you'll rise
to a height only gained by a compromise
Share the glimpse of a new beginning
And now you've changed
But just a small part of me believes this
And you will stay
But just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this
And just a small part of me believes this

She's got a rich sense of style,
A believable smile.
I don't.

She paints colors on her eyes,
To cast a shadow of surprise.
I don't.

She doesn't know I know about her.
I just smile back when she waves.
(I could never do the same)

She keeps a spotless place,
She has selective taste.
I don't.

She'll find out where you are,
She'll send you birthday cards.
I won't.

She doesn't know I know about her.
I'll just smile back when she waves.
(I could never do the same)

She doesn't know I know about her.
I'll just smile back when she waves.
(I could never do the same)

Fell down from your haven.
To an empire cityscape.
Someone asked him for directions.
He would always know the way.
Offer you his raincoat.
Let you hide under his hat.
If you can't walk from whiskey.
He'll just throw you on his back.

And then away you'll go.
Through the crowd gathered below.
To the spinning wheels.
Of your mobile home.
And he'll watch you sleep.
Like a guardian angel.

Stays inside the music.
Sometimes steps outside the law.
Always in the name of justice.
Still believes in the lost cause.
Distract you with a story.
Always tries to make you laugh.
He brings people together.
Like Gertrude Stein and Mama Cass.

And he says, "My friends are yours,
This town's full of open doors
To the sold-out shows,
Eighth bungalows,
And the lonesome smokes,
In this tiny studio."

Always finds a muse.
Everywhere he goes.
Whether it's the blues.
Or some abandoned showtune.

Learned how to be selfless,
How to love what wasn't there,
But never dwell upon it.
Just embrace what's everywhere.
People busking in the subway.
Mc's freestyle in the park.
Heard a kid from martha's vineyard,
Made him turn around his car.

And away he goes
To the local radio
Saying, "What's that sound?
I'd like to know,
And this might sound strange,
But I just can't let it go."

Guess every sinner needs a saint.
Guess every sinner needs a saint.
Guess every sinner needs a saint.
Says everybody is the same.

Let's talk and we'll fill the air
The imagery that lasts forever
So this is love and that's a lovely thought
You have to care for it to keep it together

And if you fall, will you get up
Stuck in a dream, will you wake up
And if you've found love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold, will you stay warm
Drift too far, will you swim towards the shore
And if you've found love will you hold on to it

Let's just sing and we'll fill the air
The melodies that blend together
I speak so sweet of words so delicate
Like the glass I hope will never shatter

And if you fall, will you get up
Stuck in a dream, will you wake up
And if you've found love will you hold on to it
And if it's cold, will you stay warm
Drift too far, will you swim towards the shore
And if you've found love will you hold on to it

Follow blind
Heavy eyes hold position
Right on time
It was a lucky prediction

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing

Don't undermine
My new resolution
Just to find
different light a new direction

Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing
Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

Follow blind
Heavy eyes hold position
Right on time
It was a lucky prediction

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing

Move on, move on

Riding on these waves,
holding on to what you say,
"Everything will be okay,
it will work out one way."

But I've drifted way too far,
my arms, my legs, have grown too tired.
And could you be inspired?
No, I'm just tired.

And on a swing you push me hard,
so I'll come back to where you are.
And you know I'm never far.
No decisions, nothing hard.

And I knew that it would rain tonight,
I'll take the bus or the next flight.
I won't give up on what feels right.

If you see these tears filling my eyes,
it's just the wind that makes me cry.
If you could feel this pain inside,
it's from the drinks we drank last night.
It's from the drinks we drank last night.

And the shadow of our past,
projects on clouds of dust and gas.
Wounds where my eyes will rest,
the silhouette of loneliness.

If you see these tears filling my eyes,
it's just the wind that makes me cry.
If you could feel this pain inside,
it's from the drinks we drank last night.
It's from the drinks we drank last night.

Why does she sing these sad songs for me, i'm not the one
To tenderly bring her soft sympathy i've just begun
To see my way clear it's plain, if i stop i will fall
I can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and that's all.

What does she want me to do?
She says that she that knows moments are rare
I suppose that it's true
And on she goes to say i don't care when she knows that i do.

Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.

She'd like to think i was cruel,
She knows that's a lie for i would be
No more than a tool
If i allowed her to cry all over me.

Oh my sorrow is real even though i can't change my plans
If she could see how i feel then i know she'd understand

Does she actually think i'm to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine could relieve all her pain?
Can't she see that she grieves just because she's been blindly deceived
By her shame?

Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.

I know nothings what it seems, maybe one day she'll start to realize
That if she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies
When will she see that the gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains, and i got to refuse.

But it's only to herself that she's lied
She likes to pretend it's something that she should defend, with her pride
And i don't intend to stand here and be the friend from whom she must hide.

Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.
Well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

I will take your childhood dreams
And turn them into to beautiful film
I will take your most important things
Cast them gold fill a mueseum

So your heart doesn't know where mine's been
I'll never let your heart go where mine's been

I will kiss away every tear
They'll disappear in my mouth
And i will believe in all your fears
You let them in, i'll let them out
And put them in their place, my love

So your heart doesn't know where mine's been
I'll never let your heart go where mine's been

I'll never let your heart go where mine's been

i called you on the phone
i said i was confused and in a daze
you said this uncertainty one day i would crave
so i wrote down exactly how i wanna live
and now it's a promise i'll never give
and it's a faint line i trace to recreate
the semblance of love of some stability
and it's a faint line i trace to recreate
a semblance of love of some stability
it's just a faint line i trace to recreate
a semblance of love of some stability
it's just a faint line i trace to recreate
a semblance of love of some stability
it's just a faint line i trace to recreate

standing in front of you
they fade into the wall
and leave behind nothing
nothing at all

I know I don't understand how they forget
how some will just pass us by
and take what they can get
I know I don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling
without feeling
without feeling

grasping with my fingernails
as they tear through your skin
leaving no signs of pain
no wounds to mend

I know I don't understand how they forget
how some will just pass us by
and take whay they can get
I know I don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling
without feeling
without feeling

I know I don't understand how they forget
how some will just pass us by
and take whay they can get
I know I don't understand how weightless they must be
without feeling
without feeling

So I'm waiting for this test to end,
so these lighter days can soon begin;
I'll be alone, but maybe more carefree,
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly;

I was afraid to be alone,
but now I'm scared that's how I like to be;
All these faces run the same,
how can there be so many personalities?

So many lifeless, empty hands,
so many hearts in great demand;
and now my sorrow seems so far away,
until I'm taken by these bolts of pain;

But I turn them off, and tuck them away,
until those rainy days that make them stay;
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs,
and the words still ring, once here, now gone;

And they echo through my head everyday,
and I don't think they'll ever go away;
Just like thinking of your childhood home,
but we can't go back, we're on our own;

Ohh. . .

But I'm about to give this one more shot,
And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;

So we're speeding towards that time of year,
to the day that marks that you're not here;
And I think I'll want to be alone,
so please understand that I don't answer the phone;

I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls,
until I can see nothing at all;
Only particles, some fast, some slow,
all my eyes can see is all I know;

Ohh. . .

But I'm about to give this one more shot,
And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;

( Do, do, do, do-do-do ) (x3)

Something's wrong you say
I looked into those eyes a hundred times a day
those deep blue wells so vague
elusive as christ until the day
the secrets spilled into my room
down the phone line into view
I've waited all my life to know

why our light is gone
our white light that's home
maybe love and peace are waiting for us
somewhere other than this world
at least we pray

lalalaa etc.

I'll write you and in my dreams
I'll lay on your chest to muffle your screams
and all the love I see I'll hold it close to me
in hopes that one day our secrets will be free

but now our light is gone
our white light that's home
maybe love and peace are waiting for us
somewhere other than this world
so we pray

lalalaa etc.

Dinner call in the late afternoon
The sun step down for the moon
Story books, nightlights
And I still remember songs
Piano sing-alongs
And the colored sounds of spring
Its harmony
Do you still remember?
Fireflies, four-leaf clovers
Fingerpainted skin
Where life was a reaction
And love was just laughing with a friend

Down out in the backyard stream
Make a wish for your dream
Maybe a kiss maybe a ring
And I still remember songs
The banjo sing-alongs
And the crisp sound of fall
I still recall
Do you still remember?

Flashlights under covers
Raindrops on my tongue
When life had no distractions
And love wasn't hurting anyone

Fireflies, four-leaf clovers
Fingerpainted skin
We don't know where we're going
We'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

We'll get nowhere if we've forgotten where we've been

Once upon a time in a place
Far, far away from here
Long, long ago, weary eyes
Drift past distorted lights
And dream of a love that made you feel more alive
Be worth any compromise
A love that would always keep you surprised
And prove to be worth a fight

No more days too long
Pretty love songs
You hum as you travel along
This lane, some road
And then you came in to say what your face already told

You said you found her and you
Would make her your bride
Stand by her till you die
And your tender eyes, they'll glisten with pride
And your smile so satisfied

Save my money
For that plane ride
Horn of plenty
Heavy sunlight
Autumn's bounty
Bread and red wine
In a hurry
But there's so much time

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you
But please come soon

The wind sounds angry
But my coat's kind
Wrapped in blankets
In the daylight
Winter's longing
Somewhere to close behind
In a hurry
But there's so much time

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you

Is it in a plan
Written in your hand
Believe or understand
Something other than

Fear is blinding lights
Squeeze my eyes so tight
Could you make a flower grow
Would you let me know

I will wait for you
Growing love but like water
Time will always slip through
I will wait for you
But please come soon

Watch the children sing, but not to be singers
And so hopeful, they still are believers
There's so much to do or say without repeating
And a sad story hoped she would keep reading
Maybe a message or just not perceiving
There's so much to do or say without repeating
So why don't we?

And don't expect too much, okay?
Cause the best, the worst might have passed anyway
And like the lighthouse we watched it spin 'round and 'round
There's just some things
They aren't meant to touch the ground

And let our legs just run, no concept of distance
And all these rules we've learned could make no difference
There's so much to do or say without repeating
And it's the subtle laugh that will keep ringing
And what was overlooked could now have meaning
There's so much to do or say without repeating
So why don't we?

And don't expect too much, okay?
Cause the best, the worst might have passed anyway
And like the lighthouse we watched it spin 'round and 'round
There's just some things
They aren't meant to touch the ground

When nature talks I'm not supposed to hear
I'm not supposed to know, don't I know
We never were close, I let the feeling go
And let it fade inside
I know why I love I know
You're leaning down, gently you say "I want to leave"
Sure you can go but then you will sleep alone,
though I'm yours
When nature walks, I see it in your legs
It's something in your style
In the sun
You turned into the wind and took all my surprise
And like a million eyes on me, on me, on me

You're gleaming now, didn't you say "I want to leave"?
Anything else get it yourself, you know what's mine is yours

When nature learns nothing's in control
And nothing stays the same in your way
It will not return until the seasons change
And when it changes fine I'll go, I'll go, I'll go

The dance, a bid, a matinee
It's a faint, a brief affinity
It's a touch when it shouldn't be
But it's all right
And it's a step but you're too quick to fall
Now a crash but it's just physical
Not a point, except it's natural
But it's all right

There's no burden that will agonize you
No worry that will weigh you down
Not the memories that hypnotize you
You won't turn around

You can't love me
You can't love me
You can't love me
You can't love me

A regret, it's undetectable
It's a shy display, non-emotional
It's a siren, barely audible
But it's all right

And it's an angle of the paradigm
It's a cold box of cheap red wine
It's the thought that gets lost in time
But it's all right

There's no burden that will agonize you
No worry that will weigh you down
Not the memories that hypnotize you
You won't turn around

You can't love me
You can't love me
You can't love me
You can't love me

It's a shade of what you could not be
It's a shade of what you could not be
It's a shade of what you could not be
It's a shade, a shade

There's no burden that will agonize you
No worry that will weigh you down
Not the memories that hypnotize you
You won't turn around

You can't love me
You can't love me
You can't love me
You can't love me

Cryptic words meander
Now there is a song beneath the song
One day you'll learn
You'll soon discern its true meaning
An interesting detachment
A listless poem of love sincere
Desire, despair
Overlapping melodies

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

Oh now the roots are reminiscing
Recurring dreams of minor chords
Metred time
Muted chimes find the beat

And in the pulse there lies conviction
A steady push and pull routine
The cymbals swell
High notes flail into reach

And it's not a love, it's not a love
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song

It's not a love, it's not a love,
It's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song
It's not a love, it's not a love, it's not a love song...

We'll bathe in rose petals, red
And lie in violet lilac beds
And through the darkness of the night
We'll watch our future shining bright
And out of everyone I've met
It's you I can't forget

And there was a time my heart was aching
Yes there was the day I swore it was breaking
Under a lucky star our love was born brand new

And in the shadows of the night
I'll trace your silhouette in candlelight
And if you fall asleep when you rise
I'll be there to kiss your eyes

And now my heart is in your hand
So baby, understand

And there was a time my heart was aching
Yes there was the day I swore it was breaking
Under a lucky star our love was born brand new

So don't cry, Angel, I
Will stay the whole night through
Forevermore, I'll be loving you

And there was a time my heart was aching
Yes there was the day I swore it was breaking
Under a lucky star our love was born brand new

So don't cry, Angel, I
Will stay the whole night through
Forevermore, I'll be loving you

Forevermore, I'll be loving you

There was a time two fearless minds
Well we packed up for a new place
A college town with a musical sound
And everyone had a new face
There was something there
Maybe it was the trees
Or the flowery air
Or that everyone seemed so glad
They were there
And we were two of those too
We were two of those too

We got a house in between a homeless shelter
And a coffee shop
We painted the walls until we couldn't reach
I said, "It looks cool this way, let's stop."

There were always people there
Maybe it was the music
We played on the record player
Or that everyone seemed so glad
They were there
And we were two of those too
We were two of those too

And those were the times
The quietest days
We'll sit and smile and remember
Nothing could feel the same
We were so free
We were in each passing second

And you can't sustain anything
Everything must change
So be thankful for everything
And I am
I am
I am

Afraid of an airplane
Of a car swerving in the lane
Of a dark cloud too low
Or being swept away by the undertow
Of a building tumbling down
Of the train when it's underground
Of the icy mountain roads
We have to take to get to the show

There's just a time when we must all let go the breath that we hold
There's just a time when we must all let go the breath that we hold
You know, the unknown we have to let go

Afraid when the phone rings
Another breath of life has ceased
It seems it's just lost so easily

Afraid my heart, it beats too slow
Or that I died and just didn't know
Or of a fate I will have to choose
And I'm afraid of how much I love you

There's just a time when we must all let go the breath that we hold
There's just a time when we must all let go the breath that we hold
You know, the unknown we have to let go

It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep
It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep
It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep
It's just now that I've found a place where I can breathe
It's just now that I've found a place where I can sleep

now I've traveled across the ocean
with the same shoes just longer hair
still carry that picture in my wallet
from the photo booth
yeah it's still there

just give me some kind of sign
is this the right place or the right time?
is this the right time?

now I've landed in the midwest
where you lived so long ago
remember I was always freezing
and now I'm covered up in snow

just give me some kind of sign
is this the right place or the right time?
is this the right time?

Azure Ray - Across the Ocean Now I've travelled across the ocean with the same shoe just longer hair I still carry that picture In my wallet From the photo booth yeah It's still there Just give me same kind of sign Is this the right place Or the right time.......... Now I've landed in the midwest Where you lived so long ago remember I was always freezing and now I'm covered up in snow please give me some kind of sign Is this the right place Or the right time.............

Immovable tower come crashing down
An uncertain hour in this little town
Will you step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
You could spend your whole life putting blocks back in place
With each trebling hand covering up the face
That seeks high places
Greedy dragonfly
So show a new man your old smile
Indomitable portrait that hangs in your mind
Waiting to be unveiled in your darkest time
So step to the edge
Move on in the dark
Let a new man have your old heart
Let a new man have your old heart

Hold on love
Even when i cry all night
Even when i say i don't love you
Just hold on love
So my head gets a little cloudy
And the drink goes straight to my heart
The the words come like a runaway train
In the dark
Just hold on love
Even when i scream and fight
Even when i swear i don't love you
Just hold on tight
And when the darkness falls over
Like a storm cloud in my head
Something inside says it's easier
To push you away but stay and
Hold on love
Even when i cry all night
Even when i swear i don't love you
Just hold on love
Just hold on love
Just hold on love

Let's talk and we'll fill the air with imagery that lasts forever So this is love that's a lovely thought You have to care for it to keep it together If you fall will you get up You're stuck in a dream will you wake up And if you fell in love will you hold on to it And if it's cold will you stay warm You drift too far will you swim towards the shore And if you fell in love will you hold on to it Lets just sing and we'll fill the air with melodies that blend together You speak so sweet with words so delicate A glass I hope will never shatter If you fall will you get up You're stuck in a dream will you wake up And if you fell in love will you hold on to it And if it's cold will you stay warm You drift too far will you swim towards the shore And if you fell in love will you hold on to it

Lay your head
In my lap
Let the sound of my laugh
Comfort you now, here in the cold

Your face gets wet
As the drink slips from my hand
And the faster I drive, the harder I cry,
"Don't worry I'll get us there."

And I look down at you,
You look up at me
We're a real fucked up family

We make it home
This place is a mess
The smell of cologne
Mixed with all that we own
Not much, I must confess

And I hold your hand
As you slip from me
As I watch your breath
I say to myself, "One day this will all end."

And I look at you
You look at me
We're a real fucked up family

All night I feel it inside

But I know you're right
As I begin to pack
Without raising your eyes, I hear you sigh
Oh, you'll be back

Because I look to you
And you look to me
We're a real fucked up family

Follow blind
Heavy eyes hold position
Right on time
It was a lucky prediction

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing

Don't undermine
My new resolution
Just to find
different light a new direction

Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing
Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

Follow blind
Heavy eyes hold position
Right on time
It was a lucky prediction

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing

Don't undermine
My new resolution
Just to find
different light a new direction

Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

Move on, move on
It's like the clock is pacing
The break of dawn and our hearts are racing
Move on, move on
There's nothing changing
Move on, move on
Now the records skipping
I won't forget, I won't forget the way you said
Move on, move on
There's no point in waiting

You didn't say the words i would have said
You couldn't help the doubt that filled your head
It's just an ordinary try
We learn to live we live to die
Just accept and don't ask why
My lips they form a crooked smile
Giving a sign of no reply
And when you wake up freezing in a room dark and empty
Well, just keep singing along
I'm not what you write in your books and no I'm nothing like a song
And will you answer me I, already know
I asked you to answer me but, I already know
And can you come back home, you already know
You don't ask cause you already know

It's an unfamiliar song
You said you'd like to sing along
But you couldn't change the key
I can't sing it doesn't suit me
And when I wake up freezing now half believing
It was this I feared
Cause its not just the words that you whisper in my ear
And will you answer me I already know
I asked you an answer, but I already know
And can you come back home, you already know
You don't ask cause you already know
And will you come back home?

I told them all the ones I love
I'm leaving and I may not return
See lately I've been overcome
A feeling I fear has just begun
The pain I feel deep inside
That haunts us all that we will die
Never really knowing how it feels
To be alive
Through mountains and over seas
Through misery and disease
A spectator I played my part
But nothing could move this heart
Until i held the boys hand
The little one spoke like a man
He showed me death and said
This is how you know you're alive
A kingfisher in flight
You'll rise above the sea of doubts
Into a world full of clouds (Yea)
Alive

When i was a child a story was told
About the devil and a girl oh so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
And lovers abound
But she lifted her soul
She lifted her soul clean oh clean
And like the story was told
On a dark country road
The same man appeared to me
But i reached
I reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
Now twenty years later to the place i return
Where i scorned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth i try not to believe
That i reached i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet

Riding on these waves holding on to what you say
Everything will be okay it will work out one way
But i've drifted way too far
my arms, my legs, have grown too tired
And could you be inspired?
No, I'm just tired.

And on a swing you push me hard
so I'll come back to where you are
And you know I'm never far No decisions, nothing
hard
And I knew that it would rain tonight
I'mm take the bus or the next flight
I won't give up on what feels right

If you see these tears filling my eves
It's just the wind that makes me cry
If you could feel this pain inside
It's from the drinks we drank last night
It's from the drinks we drank last night

And the shadow of our past projects on clouds
of dust and gas
Wounds where my etes will rest the silhouette
of when we met

If you see these tears filling my eyes
It's just the wind that makes me cry
If you could feel this pain inside
It's from the drinks we drank last night
It's from the drinks we drank last night

Riding on these waves,
holding on to what you say,
"Everything will be okay,
it will work out one way."

But I've drifted way too far,
my arms, my legs, have grown too tired.
And could you be inspired?
No, I'm just tired.

And on a swing you push me hard,
so I'll come back to where you are.
And you know I'm never far.
No decisions, nothing hard.

And I knew that it would rain tonight,
I'll take the bus or the next flight.
I won't give up on what feels right.

If you see these tears filling my eyes,
it's just the wind that makes me cry.
If you could feel this pain inside,
it's from the drinks we drank last night.
It's from the drinks we drank last night.

And the shadow of our past,
projects on clouds of dust and gas.
Wounds where my eyes will rest,
the silhouette of loneliness.

If you see these tears filling my eyes,
it's just the wind that makes me cry.
If you could feel this pain inside,
it's from the drinks we drank last night.
It's from the drinks we drank last night.
