Dave Meros

I don't want to be alone anymore,
Why can't I be somebody else?
Why must I see through these strange eyes?

I won't take too much of your time on the telephone,
Just me and the sunset sky along
Some kind of cloudburst in my mind
I'd like to leave it behind

But I can't get it wrong and I can't get it right
And I can't seem to get it at all tonight
It would help if you could see things through my eyes
If you tried could you see things through my eyes?

What is there in between anyway?
I'm dawn and you're dusk - we're night and day
But I think we could make it something good
How I wish that we could

But I can't get it wrong and I can't get it right
And I can't seem to get it at all tonight
It would help if you could see things through my eyes
If you can't understand how I'm feeling today
If you can't understand me, well that's o.k.
Still I think that you could see things through my eyes
If you tried you could see things through my eyes

If I could only open and hear what you say
I think this could all work out

Cause I can't get it wrong and I can't get it right
Man, I just want to get it all tonight
Yeah, I think that I could see things through your eyes
If you can't understand how I'm feeling today
If you can't understand me, well that's o.k.
Still I think that you could see things through my eyes
If you tried you could see things through my eyes

We played the liberation game
They gave a war - someone came
We dropped the torch . . . easy
Let's all go down and dance in the rain

Anything could happen then
Which scared the king and all his men
We better kill this feeling
We've been wrong before
It could happen again

Rain came and soon became
A crack in the big sky
Night stayed and music played
We could not shame this high
After we came down we hit the ground
Crack the big sky
Crack the big sky

What was all the fuss about
(let's all get out and work for nothing)
Let's make stuff we can't live without
(it's alright to believe in something)
We'll make up your meaning
Let's get you right in

You can't be left out

CHORUS

Light the light's on Lincoln lake
Sorry boys, it was our mistake
Power makes you sleazy
Now you've lost your sight
Ain't it a shame

Rain came and soon became
The color of the sky
Night stayed and music played
We could not shame this high
Friends gathered 'round eachother
No one was alone
And you want to run and tell your brother
That you've finally found a home

But you can't find a phone . . .

CHORUS TO END

Day for night
I can't wait 'til the time is right
Like a gun waits for war
Like the sun waiting for a light

Pound away
Get it done in just half a day
'Neath the sweltering sky
Get it done, don't ask why

Don't you want to live my way?
Living day for night
Don't you want to live my way?
Why you want to keep trying?
You never get it right
When you could be
Living day for night

Live my dream
There's no dancing in between
Why not let it go?
There's no sense being so extreme
Act instead
There's no life living in your head
The director's long gone
Still the play goes on
And on and on . . . come on!

CHORUS

Your dreams were disappearing
So you disappeared
Into your head
There's no freshness
In your feelings
So you feel like
Going back to bed
As the mercury rises
There are still some surprises

Day for night
There's no time
There's no end in sight
Not a moment to lose
There's no voice
You can't choose

CHORUS TO END

All that is shall be in the world
What is shall be in the world
All that is shall be in the world
What is shall be in the world
How can it be not what it is
When being is in itself
That which it is destined to be
Because it is what it is
All that is shall be in the world
What is shall be

What is it that you know you know?
There isn't any place to go
The music is a mountain made
All through the years
The song is played
The song is played

Wind raging you remain at the mast
Still slaving to be free at last
The movement knows
No love betrayed
The final tears
As the song is played
As the song is played

All that is shall be in the world
What is shall ... BE!

Children yet to be born
Don't you mourn me now
'Cause the crows are in the corn
Lay it down, lay it down

Old man's on his porch
His house burning down
When he passes you his torch
Lay it down, lay it down

And the young man comes
To beat his drums
And the old man sings
'Here it comes, here it comes'
And Newsweek's featured
everyone by now
Lay it down, lay it down now
Lay it down

We built this house of cards
We can tear it down
When it hurts don't take it hard
Lay it down, lay it down

And the wildman brings
His wild man things
While the press keeps
Pressing on the pressure king
And the drums are beating
Everywhere by now
Lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down
