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
And this feeling I feel so strong
So powerful it ca...
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...
