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 well walk down the shoreline One last time together Feel the wind blow our wanderin hearts Like a feather But who knows whats waiting In the wings of time Dry your eyes We gotta go where we can shine Dont be hiding in sorrow Or clinging to the past With your beauty so precious And the season so fast No matter how cold the horizon appear Or how far the first night When I held you near You gotta rise from these ashes Like a bird of flame Step out of the shadow Weve gotta go where we can shine For all that we struggle For all we pretend It dont come down to nothing Except love in the end And ours is a road That is strewn with goodbyes But as it unfolds As it all unwinds Remember your soul is the one thing You cant compromise Take my hand Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine Were gonna go where we can shine (and look, and look) Through the windows of midnight Moonfoam and silver |

Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train Head for the city lights Yearning inside To swim with the tide And taste it, alright Bag on her shoulder Breathing the cold There by the metal tracks She saw it all shine And swore in her mind She'd never go back And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio Na na Couldn't have dreamed The things that she seen There on the avenue She stared right into a million eyes That looked her right through Telling red Joe The places she's go And wiping the table clean She got no idea The demon of fear Or what a broken heart mean And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio Na na na na na not at all Na na New York was dark Dirty and stark Burning with yellow wings Everyday come With fever and hum Who knows what it brings Walking a wall Without a thought To fall and hit the ground Sweet Mary Jane With eyes like the rain Alive to the sound And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio Na na na na |

Tears falling slow.
From the bridge into the river below. In your eyes I start to see. A starry veil and the oceans of infinity. Moon and stars above me. Mingle with the blood inside my veins. Empty arms that should be Holding me close through nights of winter rain. And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain. It's colder than ever coming down Now I'm drowning in shallows Cause I'm in so deep There's neon melting in the rain I took too much powder to sleep When I hold you naked When I hear your laugh I got a sword to stem the rivers And cut the moon in half. Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down We danced wild Kicked off our shoes Not a cloud in the the sky to confuse. Now the sky is cold and the sea is white And there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun And scratching the mountain side Frozen stars above me Mingle with the blood inside my veins Empty arms that should be Holding you close through nights of winter rain And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain It's colder than ever coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down coming down |

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 death by boredom and death by greed if we can't stop taking more than we need Across the fractured the landscape I see the same things tired ideas birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings But these are just thoughts on lackluster times and I've no interest in excuses you can find Like you've had a hard day now you're too tired to care now you're too tired to care you've had a hard day Well across the fractured landscape I see the same things tired ideas, broken values many with the notion that to share is to lose a hollow people bound by a lack of imagination and too much looking back without the courage to give a new thing a chance grounded by this ignorance When the cat comes we're just birds without wings Birds without wings birds without wings |

You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire My heart smoulders in the night And these tumbling boulders of desire Come rolling out the shadows in me Rolling out the shadows in me Rolling out the shadows in me You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurting As your lonely siluete 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 cant be wrong Now the whole frosted night is just a song A song for you A song for you A song for you Now the moon is splashed right over the street Like my tears on your thighs so pale It's just you and me in the sheets And the whole wide world is just a jail When you're away from me You're away from me You're away from me And it's rolling on by Here come the night You turn out the light And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire My heart smoulders in the night And these tumblin boulders of desire And we're rolling And we're rolling Rolling rolling rolling Rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling Ahh rolling Rolling rolling rolling Rolling out the shadows in me You turn out the light |

Down from the doorway and into the street
I hear the morning bell Over and over the pattern repeat I hear the morning bell And all the faces cold as stone In the January chill You have led me into worlds unknown And I'm walking there still Everytime now Everytime now I think of you mine now I just can't contain I'm seven feet tall and There's nightingales calling Shooting stars falling Like jewels in the rain I ask myself, I ask myself Can this life be the same That spun me round and put me down And filled me up with shame And all the heads are turning now Down the Tottenham Court road Cause I just can't help but sing it out Case I just might explode Everytime now Everytime now I think of you mine now I can't comprehend The saxaphones blowning Cherry trees snowing Emeralds growing Right here in my hand A dance in the moonlight So high on a June night Magazines strewn right Over the chair Your spine a white ladder Your eyes singing sadder Nothing else seems to matter As soon as you're there And everytime now Everytime now I think of you mine now I just can't contain I'm seven feet tall and There's nightingales calling Shooting stars falling Like jewels in the rain Everytime now Everytime now Everytime now Everytime La da da, la da da |

Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all Find a spirit of resistance Instead of pride before the fall Forge some opposition From disparate strands It ain't the prettiest position As a century ends Unstable situation Faces made of wax Streams of melting glass Sheets of butchered facts The roar of the machine Hooded hearts and jewelled hands And anger spilling out like gasoline As a century ends Everything I seen, everything that I heard It ain't even the top of the iceberg Fire down memory lane So pass me my rose tinted glasses again Through a fog of contradiction Out to the lake of tears See society admiring it's own reflection Chase a light that shines and disappears Careful what you say, 'cause reality offends Just sit back and let your soul decay As a century ends And it's easy to get weary As you fight to get it done Against a popular theory That it's over before it's even begun Strain the limit of compassion Tend a wound that never mends And honesty still out of fashion As a century ends |

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 bare walls for a clue and all the time the truth is flashing in my mind that when a heart gets broken there's nothing you can do 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 And I?m packing my belongings hey I?ll be gone before the noon arrives cos I know there's no use pretending soon it'll all be alright But hey 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 See the dawn break gold when the night is dead Hear the bells |

Hey now, you got me by the tongue
I feel like there's nowhere I belong And they're working it pretty hard And they're selling it by the yard But it's more than I can afford That's all that I know Leader, it comes as no surprise See now, these are coins that were his eyes Silver dollars and hoods of steel Tell me nothing can be revealed The more you get it the less you feel That's all that I know Starts a shivering in my spine And a fever I can't define It gets colder the higher you climb That's all that I know You kill me with every word you say I'm dead now, along with faith and chivalry Silver dollars and hoods of steel Tell me nothing can be revealed The more you get it the less you feel That's all that I know Colder the higher you climb Colder the higher you climb Colder the higher you climb That's all that I know |

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 The traffic thick past yellow windows And I'm waiting in the frozen headlights Thinking of you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore And the trees are looking like bones And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain I'm sitting here in this metal train Thinking of you And the trees are looking like bones The afternoon filled with rain and storm And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns No way through Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore Trees like bones, yellow windows Memories, thorns, oh and you Time no good Wisdom no good Patience no good to me anymore |

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 colours flowing through our hands the moon is fire in your hair a million miles beyond what science understands smell that mountain heaven I don't remember ever feeling like this before mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door And if every window pane should shatter if every wall should fall apart well it might hurt a bit but would it matter this diamond in my heart there's no need to nail it to the ground there's no need to smother it with sense just listen to the rhythm of your heart that pounds and trust it all to chance 'cause we're standing face to face with the Angel of grace and don't it just taste so pure mercy me, I'm falling free mercy me, I'm falling free mercy me, I'm falling free since you opened up the door |

I beg to differ
To break the chain To draw a line right through tomorrow And cancel every claim I've seen reflections beneath my skin And drums beating for battle In the eyes of children And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell Oh violent flowers You fill the screen Betray your mother And change your name So tall and fickle And blind as snow Running headfirst for oblivion Cause you've nowhere else to go And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell In chill of winter In dead of night Each so familiar with the hunger That they got no appetite They talk of loving I hear her say That as fast as I can give it He's taking it away And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell Chorus A weeping willow The desert wind So many learn to swallow So few to understand The deepest longing This cup of faith Where to put them in a world Where no innocence is safe |

Drunken ferry boat woman
swayin' on your sea if I turn on the gasfire by the rain rattled window won't you sail over to me And the hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move in the porch with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Your blouse your skirt I'll undo them so gently with beautiful care I'm a lonely man with five bottles of wine I'd like you to share The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you move through the doors with me on an overcast day the pale winter city an afternoon's debauchery Orange street light afternoon becomes night you drink your wine from a mug there's cats at the backdoor the snow is two inches you roll down your tights on the rug The hail storm tumbles the rail line rumbles you lie on the floor with me come closer my love I'm badly in need of an afternoon's debauchery |

As the bell must strike the hour
As the west must stab the sun So our hearts must head 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 You pulled me from the wreckage of bitterness and blame flung open the page And put some flesh on the bones of my dreams On the streets the blossom snowing And the drum is beating slow To hear you speak so clear Well I'm slicing through the fear Setting all the beacons blazing, baby oh! It's staring out plainer than ever Brighter than all the fools gold that gleams It's simply now or never Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams And they can plunder the cave of sorrows They can strip the gallery bare Try to build a fence around the visions In our heads, choke every spark In a cloak of despair But we got something they can't stifle With their price tags and picture frames Got a flower for every rifle Putting flesh on the bones of my dreams |

Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel It chills you down inside When you see just what is real Paste it up and tear it down Move it on along the rushing road Seventeen fahrenheit Feel the winter grow There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down Nowhere to write it down Write it down Step down the alley Walking against the stony crowd You try hard not to listen Oh but they shout so loud Chew you up and spit you out Crush you between its finger and its thumb This world in all its anger Oh and there's always more to come There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down Nowhere to write it down Write it down |
