Nostalgia plays through me Along with the radio A taste, a scene, a sound A touch is not enough
If only I Had known his fear So torn and feeling frighened ..
15 years have passed A sour taste still curls my tongue In despair, he danced the air A life became undone
If only I Had recognized A silenced cry of sweet lies
Ma, you know you can't hold me now Ma, would you like to hold me now
I heard his voice The trace of tears Still live within that moment ...
I heard his voice He lost his will One's fate revealed that moment I heard his voice The moment ends So much was said in silence
Ma, you know you can't hold me now Ma, would you like to hold me now And if I could I would If what had happened then today I hold you close Not turn away
I sit and read your story Mortal image statued Delusions of one's glory Irony masked in virtue
When mom she told me 'I'm not going to live forever' She gave this manuscript to me 'To read when I am gone'
Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be The invitation To this sensation
As I read the last few lines I slowly start to realize You have opened up my mind This is completely beautiful
And now it all makes sense These words I wish she spoke to me It was right in front of me I feel her next to me
Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be The invitation To this sensation
I need to break away Need to break through Throw it all away Show me how to ...
I adore you I won't forget you I adore you You helped me break through I adore you You held onto me I adore you I feel you
Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be I'm tired of feeling out of place Too many roles I imitate Tell me what it's like to be Where you are, I wanna be The invitation To this sensation
I never saw it coming Somehow the heat of battle Sure dulled my senses to the real world Or was I dreaming? She held my hand and knew me She looked right through all I knew
Lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now
Inside the royal chambers She's staring out her window Tears well hidden by a crimson veil This is the poison Clutching a Turkish dagger By the moonlight I feel it begin
I'm wounded, let the pain wash over me now
Loneliness again Sits here alongside of me Gotta make my way To where the waters heal my wounds I know this is where I'll stay Too jaded by her deception A trust I thought to believe I just wanna rest And live out the best of my days When I reach Avalon ...
Walking to my window I'm feeling weak and so betrayed by all I've lost I'm left here To comprehend this strange barrage of lies
By the dawn's early light The war had raged through the night I turned to her I thought I heard her crying I could see by her face Before she laid to me waste That there was someone she's dying for Someone else out there besides me
I'm fading, let the fear drain away from me now
My fear's been broken As the healing waters poured over me And I begin to feel Feel its magic strengthen me I know this is where I'll stay Can't take anymore deception I just want peace in my heart This calm I am feeling I've never known until Until I reach Avalon ...
Lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now
No beginning or end All of the roles we pass on through I looked inside and I saw My soul's my guide, I need to walk with you I know this is where I'll stay The world I've left behind Has no place in my heart I can finally rest And live out the rest of my days I'll never leave Avalon
An intern In a silhouette Gets DNA From the president Let me tell you... I guarantee it He's got his Yes senator The bill's fat... It feels good... I didn't mean that It's for the children Don't forget it
Cause slick Willy He's selling his jive Slick Willy He's taking a dive Slick Willy Slick Willy Slick Willy
Oh Arafat And Albright America A sad sight Let me tell you... I guarantee it He's got his
We've got what we deserved It's much too late To go back We were taken for the ride... So many tried to say We have only taken What we've sown And when time passed It had grown Into
While the country Is burning down We're being sold out In the big town Have they got yours? Cause I guarantee you... They've got mine
Now slick Willy He's selling his jive Slick Willy Is taking a dive Slick Willy Slick Willy Slick Willy Slick Willy Slick Willy Slick Willy
We've got that we deserved It's much too late To go back We were taken for the ride... So many tried to say We have only taken What we've sown And when time passed It had grown Into
In the early misty morning As you open your eyes I am there
Another day in a cold uncaring world Dark treasons cold unhearted ways
I stand before your providence Nobody comes, nobody goes
You're so bright eyed and innocent There's a side of life you just don't know
Draw yourself close to me I'll take them all, I'm not afraid Your faith is all I need I'll simply lay my life down for you And never turning away I'm your guardian angel I'm your guardian angel
I dream of a place of simple love Detached from the wicked and the bad
Lost out in a storm of sinfulness Where is the kindness we used to have? Have
Your life is sworn to me I'll take them all, I'm not afraid I'll give you all I need And when the rest have left you for dead You can count on me
I'll never leave, never go Wrap yourself around my world Now go to sleep in my arms tonight So when it's hard, when it's cold When you're so afraid just close your eyes Rest easy child and know I'm by your side
I hear you weep Dreaming among the stars And I see your smile in the sun I hope you'll understand Someday far down the road That I showed you love All the while All the while... with me ...
I'll never leave, never go Wrap yourself around my world Now go to sleep in my arms tonight So when it's hard, when it's cold When you're so afraid Just close your eyes Rest easy child and know I'm by your side
I'm your guardian angel ..
I dream of a place of simple love Detached from the wicked and the bad, with love Lost out in a storm of sinfulness, ooh Where is the kindness we used to have?
I remember A time when I was free when I could fly away Sky's the limit I sang my song it was my dream and still is today
Changes come Changes go Where they lead I just don't have a say Don't have a say
Do you remember The time I traveled sing my songs to all the world You were stronger But that's all gone and that's okay, you're still my girl
Seasons come Seasons go Where they lead I just don't ever know Don't ever know
I know you need me here to see you through I'm gonna make your eyes shine like brand new I'd sacrifice all that I have and more Forever until death do us part ..
All those pictures Painted by your hand I still remember How beautiful Nothing's changed you're still the one I'm dreaming of ...
Just this morning You awoke and took my hand I smiled inside How long we have here Left to us, we'll do our best and enjoy the ride
Good times come Good times go When they've gone how will we ever know We ever know
I know you need me here to see you through I'm gonna make your eyes shine like brand new I'd sacrifice all that I have and more Forever until death do us part
Sit with me in the corner Where the lights are low Maybe you can make it right Maybe you can make it right With all the lights still covered There's something too familiar A little much to hang onto A little much to hang onto
What I believed in no longer matters Won't try and hold onto who I once was
Why should it matter What I prefer But society slams me Thinks I'm less of a man
Now I know I'm wanting To go back to you And I don't quite understand And I don't quite understand Can't deny these feelings That are coming through Is this who I really am Is this who I really am
I never imagined this that I'm feeling I finally have something I believe in
It shouldn't matter This is who I am But society slams me Calls me less of a man
I've finally something to believe in I never imagined what I was feeling
It shouldn't matter You don't feel the same But so quick to judge and You don't understand
I feel my future Tied to my past Why don't we go and leave this world behind Watch me as I wonder Aimless through this mystery Counting all the times You've fallen to the cold You were always there for me Always said a prayer for me
I'm drifting in time No reason I find You always come to my soul Somehow you believed There'd always be a season for us to behold I'm drifting in time No reason no rhyme You always come to my soul I've learned to believe So thank you for the slow burn you'be brought to my heart And you are the one Yes you are the one
I have been too distant Sometimes just too far away Let me go and leave it all behind Sorry if I've hurt you Sorry for the time we've lost If you could just forgive me I'd bow down before you So that you could see I'm real So that you could hear these words
I'm drifting in time No reason I find You always come to my soul Somehow you believed There'd always be a season for us to behold I'm drifting in time No reason no rhyme You always come to my soul I've learned to believe So thank you for the slow burn you'be brought to my heart And you are the one Yes you are the one
I'm drifting in time No reason I find You always come to my soul Somehow you believed There'd always be a season for us to behold I'm drifting in time No reason no rhyme You always come to my soul I've learned to believe So thank you for the slow burn you'be brought to my heart And you are the one Yes you are the one
First, the bad news... Face the music Mind over matter In other words... My imagination run amuck Give and take with inspiration, information, innovation, impossible situation? Worsening aggravation Change, Every change, every step, every moment defined As a man... as a man... as a man thinks
Shell game in a strait jacket 12 gauge In a shotgun racket Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto Got to do this all alone Wait Better slow it down and think about it
Embracing this moment Enslave or free my soul Just to play the game With no guarantee Is what I'll do for now My life's a requiem playing Out of key with no 'absolutes' at all Who promised tomorrow? Tomorrow may not even be here
How long am I blameless 'Undecided' in a frantic world? My velocity screaming fast From this truth I fear Where did I hear: 'As a man thinks So is he'? But this man thinks 'Till his moment's gone'
Scapegoat to the end, dig it? Whiz-bang In a whirlwind minute Voodoo - take a turn Why not Nuke my head - feel it burn? Wind up where you were If you think about it Shell game in a strait jacket 12 gauge In a shotgun racket Shinbone, shindig, shimmy for the Shinto Got to do this all alone Wait Better slow it down and think about it Better slow it down Take a moment right now Let a man think As a man thinks What a man thinks...
(Hey there Budapest) (What about... let's just give it a rest)

Bottom line? Get it in Get it off Get it out Get away Get a buck Get a clue Now he just wants more
And he feels it Now... No more indecisions here No more time to figure things out No more lies No mortal sin He'll pay up square But he won't get in Too many opportunities Too many reasons Too many travesties Now for the good news It's gonna get... Gonna get wild When you wake up and realize You've still got it all
(Hey there Budapest) (How about next time we do our damn best?)
