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 |

I remember their faces
I remember their stares I remember how wasted You were in there... When I know you want it An’ I know you care I know you feel it An’ I know it’s there You were speaking to no one I called your name You were looking for something Without any chains I was talking to someone You pulled me aside You were telling me something That I couldn’t buy |

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 |

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 |

Staighre... to nowhere climb
I take them... all th’ time Crawling on my knees Walking that ol’ fine line An’ when I’m alone an’ scared I think up little rhymes They would make no sense to you But I make them all th’ time An’ time’s all mine... Time’s all mine It’s th’ little pills you find Crushed to dust, rolling out of sight They end up in th’ strangest places But I take them all th’ time When everyone... is false I tell ‘em I’m just fine I can’t... remember their names But I fake them all th’ time |

If God moves across the water
Th’ girl moves in other ways An’ I’ve lost my faith in either Nite an’ fog are my days I wanted only to be gentle But I gave her jealousy an’ rage Who knows exactly what I’m after Nite an’ fog are my days Wisemen want faith, fools want gold Sailors want water, but you want it all I tried to guide my love by starlite An’ soon my life became a maze Osiris an’ Orion were yer favorites Nite an’ fog are my days Vampires want darkness, monsters want souls Spiders want corners, but you want it all She turns half nude to find me naked But I can see she wants me in other ways In th’ dark I’ve driven her to madness Nite an’ fog are my days I hope you see your ship come in May it find you an’ never lose it’s way But I would make a poor captain Nite an’ fog are my days Vampires want darkness, monsters want souls Spiders want corners, but you want it all... |

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 |

I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms But dreams are always wrong I never dreamed I’d hurt you I never dreamed I’d lose you In my dreams I’m always strong But now th' creek is rising An’ all my bridges burned I always dreamed of big crowds Plumes of smoke and high clouds But dreams don’t last for long I have my suspicions When th’ stars are in position All will be revealed But I know that until then Unless th’ stars surrender All will be concealed And now th’ snow is falling And all my fences torn I know you need someone An’ I can hear someone Somewhere in this song I dreamed that I was walking And th' two of us were talking Of all life's mystery Th' words that flow between friends Winding streams without end I wanted you to see But it can seem surprising When you find yourself alone And now th' dark is rising And a brand new moon is born I always dreamed I'd love you I never dreamed I'd lose you In my dreams I'm always strong |

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 |

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...

She has a way that is beautiful to behold,
Movements of silence and calm, A universe of life folded up inside her, A symphony of strangeness and charm An she knows Every now and them there's an ocean of silver, Concealing herself as a stream, Scars in her life that she once tried to hide, Healing themselves as she breathes An she knows What she knows Feel yerself arise Feel yerself arise Y' let yerself go An tell yerself you'll know when you know She has a way that is beautiful to behold, An every now and then you can see, A universe of light splashed in her eyes, Revealing the only light she needs An she knows What she knows Feel yerself arise Feel yerself arise Y' let yerself go An tell yerself you'll know when you know |

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 |

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 |

Has she found a way to make her man work out rite,
An' has she found a way to let her man into her life, Has she found a way to teach her man some control, Oh to make him understand her, as a whole, Will she find a way to tell him just how lost she is, An' will he find a way to lead her out of the wilderness, Take her by surprise, and not by force, Oh able to withstand, all her storms, In the wilderness..things aren't what they seem, In the wilderness..life is but a dream, That flows on..that flows on... Will he find a way to let her play such a sacred role, Will she find a way to forgive him as a whole, Oh how can he have been so blind for so long, An' how can the woman I love, be so strong In the wilderness..things aren't what they seem, In the wilderness..life is but a dream, That flows on..that flows on... |

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 |

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 |
