Th’ Threads that run thru yr life Hang from yr sleeve Wind thru yr soul Th’ kind you can’t control Th’ kind you can’t conceive Th’ kind you can’t believe But wish you could break Wish you could weave I Wish you could see It ties you to me
An’ you fly in th’ face of the sun An’ you float in th’ tides of th’ moon
Th’ paths that run from your door Climb thru th’ trees Wind like a snake Th’ kind you can’t escape Th’ kind you can’t conceive Th’ kind you can’t believe With prickly little thorns Sharp tiny teeth They’re hungry for th’ threads Hanging from yr sleeve Waiting on a path Th’ kind you can’t conceive But wish you could take Wish you could leave I wish you could see It leads you to me
What explodes like a fractal Pops like a lite bulb Looks really awful At four in the morning Moves with a dead stare Coils around your ankles Fangs long as neckties And strike without warning
What implodes like a Zeppelin Cracks like pavement Smokes in the basement And knows when yer lying Comes to a dead stop Forgives you like Jesus Cold as a windchill With eyes like Abe Lincoln
What is dark like a birthmark Pulls like a magnet Male and female And covets like a dragon Grows to a shark length Contracts to amoeba Lives in your soul And loves you like I do
What appears like an angel Stabs like a dagger Fills you with lite And bleeds you of matter Comes to a dead stop Forgives you like Jesus Hands you a love only Found in the Vedas
What explodes like a fractal Pops like a lite bulb Strolls in like Joel Gray At four in the morning Armed with a big nose Fragile like a sea horse Lives in your soul And loves you like I do
A year is just a drop in time, it cannot touch th’ female form in my bed She is just a friend of mine, In th’ dark she knows th’ touch of my hand
Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunshine lite in yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there
Her words profane, her mouth divine, I tried to sympathize with both sides But I was caught, like a fleeting thought, stuck inside of Leonard Cohen’s mind
We met on a beach in Greece, an’ parted on a rusty Spanish stair Two birds in th’ distance fly, they landed an’ they settle down somewhere
Let th’ music play like you want it to Let th’ sunlite glide thru yr hair Let th’ moonlite play at your feet like a babe An’ softly linger there
A year is just a drop in time, it cannot touch her female form in my head She was just a friend of mine, in th’ dark she knew th’ touch of my hand
Plans an’ schemes Thoughts an’ dreams Who cares what they mean... When they work they’re amazing things When they don’t I hear you scream
Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die Six legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly I can’t remember an’ I can’t decide What was th’ season an’ th’ color of yr eyes
Pharoahs an’ kings Favorite queens Buried with their Precious rings When they lived they loved complete But in their tombs I hear them scream
Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die Six legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly It makes you wonder, why can’t I What was th’ reason for th’ color of yr eyes
Psalms and spells Magic blast Who cares what they cast I dreamed I’ d always love you complete I never thought I’d hear you scream
Spiders an’ flies, live an’ die Eight legs to stand on an’ two wings to fly It makes you wonder, why can’t I What was th’ reason for th’ color of yr eyes
In th’ morning yr face cracks an’ falls to th’ sea Th’ sun follows yr step an’ leads you back to me You keep telling yrself that you're here but you’re not alone An’ you get th’ feeling that yr mind is not yr own
In th’ evening th’ sun’s red gown turns to brown Th’ moon follows you to th’ beach then it swallows you down Strange how you change and end up at her feet You keep telling yourself but you know yr not to be believed
You an’ me and Hercules in between You an’ me and Hercules in between
Shadows rise from the plain... fifty men row In th’ distance th’ ships in th’ waves cash in their load On th’ hill stands Colossus an’ yr mind is freezed Clouds from yr past now at last open to receive
You an’ me and Hercules in between You an’ me and Hercules in between
Cross th’ desert sand no one knows yr name An’ you wish you were somewhere else with some kind of fame What appears as yr shadow is formless as a mist You keep telling yr friends you know... it exists One becomes two then before you... turns to three Words climb your tongue... like a ladder to speak Drifting as you go but you row... ‘til it seems All is One, All is Mind, all is lost and you find, ALL IS DREAM
Dawn brought a wild light, back into her tired eyes, Like violets, opening her eyelids to the light, Oh she was golden, I caught her still glowing, I told you where we're goin' girl, We're off for a dark country ride
I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you a secret for a song, Some day I'll tell you and take you back home where you belong
All the leaves are falling, Two suns are slowly rising, I'll take you where the morning star burns just for you, My dark country bride
I'll tell you a secret, oh I'll sell you a secret for a song, I'll give you my soul, babe, an one day you'll give me yours
Oh I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you my secret for a song, I'll give you my soul, babe, an one day you'll give me yours
I'll tell you a secret, I'll sell you my secret for a song, Some day I'll tell you and take you back home where you belong
And where we go from here, is anybody's guess, These thoughts I've got inside, ain't easy to confess, My hand upon my heart, I draw a little breath, cos I've fallen down, (down, down, down...)
And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real, On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And I've lost all my reasons...but it's you I can...believe in
And looking in your eyes, the stars they fall away, And holding to your hand I waste away the day, I've got to make it known, I've got to let you see, But I'm not so strong...
And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real, On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And I've lost all my reasons...when it's you I can...believe in
Believe in, believe in, ohh Believe in, believe in, ohh
No I'm not that strong
And I bleed and I feel that it's all too real, On a wave of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And a way of feeling that inside I know I'm healing, All these waves of emotion sending ships across yer ocean, And I've lost all my reasons...but it's you I can...
Look how the sun, captured by the rain Glimmers and falls, and lands in golden balls Like a bracelet hung, from a spider's web For me to show to you, like gifts
That you won't forget... For as long as you live
See how the rain, captured by the leaves Shimmers and falls, and lives on in diamonds balls Like a necklace hung, over limb and branch For me to show to you, like gifts
That you won't forget... For as long as you live
Watch how the stars, captured by the sky Appear to die, before our eyes and live on in other ways Well tonight they're mine, for me to show For me to shower you, like gifts
That you won't forget... For as long as you live And you will always have For I will always give them To you
An unseen force behind the turning leaves, Drives them all vermillion and green, You never gave up on me somehow, I don't know why I haven't turned by now
Ooh I know love sounds impossible, Some words are just so hard to say, And there's times you feel unlockable, An' all you ever want, Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in
Don't ever say you were wrong for me, For you were always strong enough for three, I never let you in my world somehow, I'm asking you to please, allow me now
Ooh I know love sounds impossible, Some words are just so hard to say, And there's times you feel unlockable, An' all you ever want, Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in
Truer skies beyond the swirling clouds, The other birds are off and flying south, We'll have to make our own way there somehow, An' I'm asking you to please trust me now
Ooh I know love sounds impossible, Some words just take so long to say, And there's times you feel unlockable, An' all you ever want, Is someone to try...to open up...and find a way in
Someone to try...want someone to try, want someone to try, want someone to try...
On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall
Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again
In the autumn air, you can see her smile But in a funny way she reminds you of a child In the autumn air, you feel her soul unfold And in a funny way you feel your own explode
Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again
On a winter day, you can hear her call But in a funny way when the snow begins to fall On a winter day, you can hear her call And in a funny way, you love her even more
Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again
Through the fields and the streams and the lakes and the trees And the grass and the logs run all my dogs And I am home again
On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall On a summer day, you can hear her call But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall
Ain't it amazing when the seasons begin, to change, Someone behind the scenes just seems to pull some strings, I've struggled with an old angel all night long, An I thought it might be nice if we just talked till dawn
I never never gave you...enough I could've given you...my love
They say that mary magdelene, had it real bad She took her baby and she headed, off to france New situtuations don't present themselves, at first If I was her I don't know where or to who I'dve turned
I never left you with...too much I could've given you...my love
I hear of people living deep inside of, the earth They got their own sun and some claim they were here first I've struggled with an old angel all night long I thought it might be nice if you stayed here till dawn
I know I left you...alone too much But I know I need you here...my love I never thanked you...enough I could've given you...my love
