1. _ Still Believing
Night owns my white bones but
What's left is still saying
Strange prayers in high places
Wild airs with wilder graces
Birds fly with no motion
What draws me draws the ocean
Chorus
Down on my knees again,
Still believing
In the time of reason no more
Down on my knees again
Still believing
Peace of mind is worth any chore
Great dreams and laid schemes
Just blown down by high winds
And strong signs from old forces
Wild dogs run trackless courses
Night changes sweet mountain
Vain hopes need cold fountains
Chorus
Night owns my white bones but
What's left is still saying

2. _ Brand New Star
Every now and then you like to take it easy
Sit right back and view the situation
The future is brighter
Soon we'll be riding on the crest of a wave
Chorus
Goodbye to all your troubles
Change of heart the world will start today
It's a new beginning
See it shining like a brand new star
Well if you're thinkin' that you'll end up crying
Maybe all you need is to get away from friends
And the walls around you
Find a shore step into the sun
Chorus
I won't be a burden upon your shoulder
I will give you wings so you can fly
To lands where you're dreams surround you
Find a shore step into the sun

3. _ The Dimming Of The Day
This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where i keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what i want
Come the night you could be my confident
I see you on the street in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day

4. _ Prayer For Love
Faith won't heal up everthing
The wound grows and you believe in love
Walk around feeling cut in two,
Wide open, with your hear on view
All you bereaved, all you besotted boys in need,
When love won't heel you, wh, why believe she will?
O lyubvi malyu otchayanno
Say it on your knees
Oh, so sharp, and way too cool,
Love's bright and biggest fool
Has to work on speaking slow,
To think hard, and to lie low
Will you believe? all you bedazzled boys in need,
V krayu dalyokum, chuzhie ne nuzhny.
Chorus
O tyubvi malyum otchayanno
Say it on your knees,
Crying like a baby, "plese, please, please!"
Crying, hoping maybe,
O tyubvi malyum otchayanno
Say it on your knees,
Candle is a splendid thing:
The room glows, and the candle sings
"fly up to the only light,
"ev'ry, ev'ry tiny wing!"
The moth inside you bolts off to join the beautiful;
He flies and dies,
So quickly, quickly wise.

5. _ Golden Mile
I'm walkin' along golden mile with a soldier's twirl
I must be the luckiest soul in the whole wide world
O foolish thing here i go again
There's no faith more innocent than blind faith
And that's all i've got
So i'm scaling the walls of my dreams
Ready or not
O foolish thing here i go again
Chorus
Don't be afraid darling no need to be afraid darling
You don't have to be afraid from now on
It's just the way darling we get delayed darling
But we won't be delayed from now on
I know no power on earth nor up above
That would alter the way things are
You are my love
You're my pride and joy on the golden mile
If only it could be captured how i feel for you
And if i could just freeze it i feel i'd never be untrue
O foolish thing here i go again
Chorus |
6. _ Bright Blue Rose
I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning
That hungers the first light, much much more
Than mountains ever do.
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And i am the geek with the alchemists' stone
Chorus
For all of you who must discover,
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
Chorus
For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally

7. _ Babes In The Wood
Babs in the wood walking thru' snow
Big bad wolf at the window
Not much choice in the matter now
Some must lead some must follow
Touch can mean distance to some people
Touch can mean prison or be like a cage
I always thought that life could be more simple
Specially in this day and age
Chorus
They got the time they got the need
The world's getting weird the wolf's running free
But that's another story this their story
Babes in the wood eager and keen
Soft as the fern underneath them
Wet to the skin from their own hot glow
No more wolf at the window
Touch can mean distance to some people
Touch can mean i own you forever and a day
If only life could be more simple
Specially in this day and age
Chorus
But touch can be a blessing to other people
Touch can bring blossom to things that decay
I think life should be that simple
Specially in this day and age

8. _ The Urge For Going
Well i woke up today and found frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
And when the sun turned straight and cold and shiverin'
Trees are standing in a naked row
I get the urge for going and i never seem to go
I had someone in the summer time with summer coloured skin
And not another one in town my darling's heart could win
And when the leaves fell tumbling down and bully winds did rub their faces
In the snow
He got the urge for goin and i had to let him go
Chorus
Well he got the urge for going
When the meadow grasses are turnin' brown
Summer time is a fallin' down
Winter's closing in
And the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
All that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
You see the geese in chevron flight a flapping and a racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go
Chorus
I'll pile the fire with kindlin' and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wanderin' in
I'd like to call back summertime and let her stay for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for goin, and i'll have to let her go
Chorus...

9. _ Adam At The Window
Adam's at the window
Staring at teh apple trees on fire
Waiting for the windfall
That brings the smile of kings and their desire
Door blows in behind him
A floral pattern summer dress so gay
Burning in the sunlight
Too late to wait
For darkenss won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the coareless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown
Chorus:
And adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam's on the island
Living in the land of love
Shadows lurk around him
Drunk on the royal jelly of pure love
Full and ripe the fruit hang
For when the prince arrives he will want more
And more and more he will drink from the canvas cup
The son of a swan will then loose his plumera
And he will wear a new age suit
And haunt the joints in town
And play a silver magic flute
And call his lovers down
And call his lovers down
Chorus:
And adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam's at the easel
Painting in the wrinkles and the grey
Waiting for november
Easy with the darkness of the day
Smiles a tear of gladness
And adams at the window once again
Burning in the sunlight
Too late to wait
For darkness won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the careless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips, her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown
Chorus...
Repeat chorus...

10. _ Just Around The Corner
You've got no reason to say you're all alone
There will be a change of season
That'll win a heart of stone
Chorus
Love is just around the corner
And standin' out of view
Love is just around the corner
For you
I can see a smile tomorrow
A reason to go on
The sky is always darkest
Before the new day dawns.
Chorus...
Don't ever stop believing
The sun is going to shine
It's worth giving and receiving
If you only give it time
Chorus...
Don't think you've found salvation or that the day is won
When you reach your destination
The journey's just begun
Chorus...

11. _ Might As Well Be A Slave
Lying here watching the time pass
I could think of a million things i'd rather do
Travel at my own pace
Put myself asleep if i wanted to
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Than be lashed to a wave that i can't haul
Might as well be a slave
Lying low in the shade of a prison wall
Lying here watching the time pass
I could cry for the helping hands that i refused
We were good friends but i did refuse
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall
Down here down where the end is
You absolve me from every crime i ever planned
I was so surprised i did not think that you would understand
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Growing old in a carpeted hall
O might as well be a slave
Ever safe out of the rain in prison walls
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Always safe out of the rain in prison walls.

12. _ The Thorn Upon The Rose
Its taste was sweet like summer wine
The heart that beats in double time
So he waltzed right in and bowled you over
And you're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone
The door is closed the lock is turned
And all the memories and letters have been burned
Chorus
So when you pick the handsome flower
Don't forget the thron upon the rose
It's cut is deep and the scar lasts forever
It follows love whereever love goes
Just how we fall it's hard to know
When what we feel we seldom show
So we show the parts we feel are best
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
And you think you know him and he thinks the same
When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game
Chorus
Win or lose it's just the same
Tears of joy tears of pain
They're hand in hand they come as one
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
For all the bruises for all the blows
I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose
Chorus...
