You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That shoulders in the night
And these tumbling boulders of desire
Come rolling off the shadows of me
You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
As your lonely silhouette 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 can't be wrong
Now the whole frosted night is just a song
Song for you
And the moon is splashed right over the street
Like my tears on your thighs so pale
Its just you and me in the sheets
And I hope the whole wide world is just a jail
When you're away from me
And it's rolling on by
Here come the night
Turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That smoulders in the night tumbling boulders of desire
Rolling, rolling...
Rolling out the shadows of me
Turn out the light
Tears falling slow, from the bridge
Into the river below, in your eyes, I start to see
A starry veil, the ocean of infinity
Moon and stars above me, mingle with the blood Inside my vein
These empty arms that should be
Holding you close, through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever, coming down
And I'm drowning in shallows, 'cos it's in ...
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 colors flowing through our hands
The moon is fire in your hair
A million miles beyond what science und...
As the bell must strike the hour
As the west must stab the sun
So our hearts must heed the flow
Of deeper tides that run
Far beyond this bare indifference
That prosperity esteems
Where the spirit raves and dances
Through our very veins
At winters edge you found me
By the fields of wild gold
My hands still filled with ashes
From fires long cold
As you pulled me from the wreckage
Of bitterness a...
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 it's needle
In every eye a light will shine
From the graveyard to the cradle
All the bells of wonder chime
No further...
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 bar...
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 th...
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
'cause I taste it on your lips
And I f...
Weight on my shoulders
But I'm walking so tall
Out into the new horizon
Wonder in everything
No matter how great or small
Howlin' like the midnight
Howlin' like the midnight sun
And this ain't 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 reigns
Love will find it's own direction
A time to reap, a time to s...
You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That shoulders in the night
And these tumbling boulders of desire
Come rolling off the shadows of me
You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain
Back on the road destination uncertain
So lets get in this car and drive

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...
Four o'clock in the morning
Born on the sea
The night is rattling
With burglar alarms, oh yeah
The night explode the night explode
Flower by your window side
Autumn is graceful unladen with memory
And the wonders die
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watching TV show
Kissing your dark hair it's your head
Against the sunset and the harbor below
It's the cruelest thing, the cruelest thing
That I've e...
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 deat...
I just don't care
Don't care at all
I've banged my head too long
On these brick walls
Every seed I sow
Shudders and falls
Perishes betweens
These brick walls
And I feel like the last hair
On a head gone bald
Not much point bein' there
No, no, no point at all
How many more years?
Years 'til they fall
On the blind eyes and deaf ears
And these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These...
Tears falling slow, from the bridge
Into the river below, in your eyes, I start to see
A starry veil, the ocean of infinity
Moon and stars above me, mingle with the blood Inside my vein
These empty arms that should be
Holding you close, through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever, coming down
And I'm drowning in shallows, 'cos it's in ...
I love your nervous fingers
Won't you fumble all night long
But the morning they are stingers
To rise and stumble on
And down the crooked pavement
The wind rolls my thoughts like a leaf
The brill bell chimes
And fortune smiles, with its broken teeth
And the many rivers run
Grateful for the rain
I'd be grateful for one morsel
Of your loving again
Summer, restless summer
Won't let sleeping dogs ...
We are lovers girl, me and you
small faced lovers girl oh
you know its true
Get through the winter time
and the spring sun starts to grow
I'm your white faced lover girl
oh don't you know
You're so warm with me
i never feel the cold
what have you done with me i've never felt this old
come through the orange summer
and stand and watch the red leaves fall
maybe by next summertime
we'll have forg...
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 we'll walk down the shoreline
One last time together
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts
Like a feather
But who knows what's waiting
In the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We gotta go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow
Or clinging to the past
With your beauty so preciou...
You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That shoulders in the night
And these tumbling boulders of desire
Come rolling off the shadows of me
You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain
Back on the road destination uncertain
So lets get in this car and drive
And this feeling I feel so strong

The draft blew cold under the door
When we threw wour clothes to the kitchen floor
The broccoli boils in the pan on the gas stove where you stand
Won't you take this spatula in your hand?
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
Out on the roof over havoc streets
Where the sky is a blanket each sweet kiss
so melo...
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
And the traffic's thick past yellow windows
I'm waitin' in the frozen headlights
Now, thinking of you
Time, no good
Wisdom, no good
Patience, no good
To me a...
