A gentleman comes calling
She says "Leave him at the door
Let's dark out the world
And lay our cards down on the floor."
The cups are overflowing
And the crowns are set with sin
But the game is in her favor
Cause her deck is stacked to win
You can't fight forever
She'll throw you down be warned
And your will catches fire
When she takes you in her arms
Her open invitations
Ring bells inside your head
You'll reach for her unconscious
Of all the hell you'll catch instead
She'll take all that you give her
Till theres nothing left to mourn
Cause she's the crow that flies away at dawn
To shelter in the devil's horns
In order to forget her
You trade the pain for war
Till it doesn't even matter
What it is you're fighting for
She gave you what she promised
And that's nothing at all
All her suitors smile grimly
Pacing down her empty halls
Her house becomes a graveyard
With cards to mark your tombs
The broken looms weave empty rooms
That smell like ghosts and shallow wounds
You paid her price, remember
Then you let her lock the door
Now there is nothing you can do
But wring your hands
And count the score

Today I watch the boats moving through the harbor
Walking on water - in your arms I'd stay
Forever if I could, forever if I may
Keep me in your thoughts - don't disappear
I am on your side and so alive
So alive... it isn't real
If this is how I feel
Then nothing now is true
And nothing now can ever be taken away from you
Sinking in the past - the things that shouldn't last
Just put to bed and stand beside me
Always on your side
I am on your side and so alive
So alive... it isn't real

A light comes to me through
Open fingers scared of reaching
Gold against the curtains of my eyes
In two starlight beams that
Peel back this lucid sadness
To free these arms and teach them how to fly
And nothing now could keep me from your side
The stars are falling through these broken skies
Like tears they dance across our opened eyes
One glimpse of dream
Has found me in this endless knowing
Threads past all the stars to make you shine
Two silver rings
That draw me close in careless motion
And dance across the depths of sea and sky
And nothing now could keep me from your side
The stars are falling through these broken skies
Like tears they dance across our opened eyes
Over oceans waves will send me
With only thoughts of you for wings
I feel your pull across the distance
How beautiful these silken strings
Does my heart still beat when I'm not with you?
Will day still dawn when I'm without you?
I feel you reaching for me through the minutes that I'm
Counting til I'm home

Once that tree was small *sigh*
Going his own way... but not
Every broken one
Will be new again
Every broken one
Really new again
There are many directions
When you're walking alone
Now we see one not conquered by
The multitude of the small
How do you get there with nothing at all?
Every broken one
Really new again
And when the moment is right
Even one capable will be
A world without end

The night fades into the morning rain
And filling up my eyes
Skies so grey
Thoughts of yesterday
Run bitter in my mind
The pen is spent
No letters sent - they'll stay here forever
Captive in my mind
The hours drop
The clock is stopped at nine past never
Spinning out of time
I see in the dark
And my eyes trace the stars
While my mind feels the scars
When time was ours
Peace is cast aside when memories collide
And taken with the tide
Lest we forget the time we spent in days of September
Leaves rushing by...
Can you see in the dark?
Can you see the same stars?
Do you feel the same scars?
Will time again be ours?

I'll be your guide
Don't follow far behind
Don't lose me now
I can feel you fading
You flicker out of phase
While I am always waiting
I have loved you longer than these days could know
All these waves of sadness
But carry me to you
Through all the world
I've wandered till I'm weary
And placed my faith
In faithless hearts for nothing
But to hope is brave
Or so you've often told me
And oh all this time
To still not let
My heart form words
To say forget
You filled the sky
The day we met
And now the stars all shine through you
And though my dress is worn and grey
I still dance every dance for you
Where there is faith
Then you have made it stronger
Where there is hope
You've made it last much longer
And if there is love
Then you have made it greater

You only want to take the things you want to break
Like my heart in your hands...
Don't act like you don't understand
That you take what you want from me
And you breaking the heart in me
Don't tell me theres life after sundown
When I've seen the moon kiss the sand
The stars touch the water and burn out
Don't tell me you don't understand
That you take you want from me
And you keep what you want to keep
And you leave me adrift at sea
And you know what you do to me
And you drowning inside of me
And you breathing life into me
And you kissing me hopelessly
And you loving me endlessly

The petals blow
So thoughtless of the bruise
Windy sonnets sing
Northward to their muse
The looking glass is green
Reflecting pools of gray
The gardens bright with rain
It's no longer so hard to believe
The winter snow
So soft as spring sets in
To wind her winsome way
To mountain shores again
Her back to the endless days
Full of love to leave
So simple now to grieve
Breaking through to fight what holds you down
Swimming for the sand before you drown
Filling in the hole you're falling through
Sometimes pain just makes the choice for you
Forgive me all these tears
I've bottled such a sting
So many waiting words
That I could only sing
And with you finally here
The heady dew of May
Comes rushing in to carry you away

I'm waking up
I'll shed my skin
I've come so far from where I've been
Years I've lost afraid to be
All my fears contained in me
Gone is youth - it's not too late
I feel the pull and I know...
There is love - beautiful sense of freedom
Love - all of my sins revealing
I've seen death. I've been alive.
But still I walk unsatisfied
My darkest day. The city streets.
A warm embrace - and I know...
There is love - beautiful sense of freedom
Love - all of my fears revealing
Love - feeling the warmth of children
Love - broken but still rebuilding

I'm breathing
Fast into the great surround
And sailing
Feet too fleet to touch the ground
Learning to fly at night is easy once you've mapped the
Sky and making wings of weaker things is fine so long as
You like falling
Don't you tell me now you're sorry,
Nothing changes everything
To wake again
A heart to match the closing storms and
To make again
Something whole of all you've broken
A savior
With asphalt teeth and tongues of fire
This halo
Bends and folds when met with you
Charming to the last your courtesies are not the favor
You believe and no one tells us better lies than all the
Hope we leave behind
To wake again
This heart to match the closing storms and
To make again
Something whole of all you've broken
Don't you tell me now you're sorry
Nothing changes everything
Bitter hands have done with praying
Then promises can't hope to save you now
