=============== Long before now I could have told how it would end Tending the life you've got to spend, You reap what you sow. Yes I was there But I was young and unaware Of how the days were mine to dare Not just to weigh and stow So long, they stretched towards the sun Never would be done, all things arranged. So neat, so tragically complete, And all the things that I knew, How long it takes to lose a few. But if I try Classify the worlds I missed All of the thrills I never kissed, Places I couldn't go. Draw, win or lose, If I could choose someone to be I think that I would stick with me The devil I know... We shone and turned towards the sun, Now those days are gone, we're on our own. I've grown, or maybe I've just changed, And all of the things that we knew, How do they look now to you? I thread the rope Down the telescope of time Beckon the younger me to climb Come see a future view. See how your dreams Make broken themes in later years Look at the joys that once were fears - If you only knew... No words, and so I bite my tongue What one is more wrong - to speak or sigh? One way I sound an old cliche But silence betrays me like a lie And nobody's left to tell me why. ... Sometimes I think it's getting late Guess a person's fate is to be free, Free, free to change a mind, decide All of your dreams never applied, Noone was right. Nobody lied. =============== I'm in love At least until tomorrow That's why it's best you know the score I never been this way before Well maybe once or twice, no more You need to know how I feel, Lover or not, I'm real. Take your time You shouldn't have to hurry But I can't wait for yesterday It's not I've got to have my way It's just a thing I need to say So look in my eyes and see I love you... but don't trust me. 'Cause let me tell you: I've been known For letting things get overblown. I wouldn't lie, it's not that I would try deceive you, It will be nice, but don't be surprised the day I leave you, Time after time, I'm changing my mind. That's me, just me. Don't you hate Those agonized departures? When love moves on, and words can't say It's over now. We'll be ok, There's nothing owed, nothing to pay Better to say at first, Our last day won't be our worst. So goodbye, I'll say it now, not later, 'Cos now it's really just a game Before we know we'll meet again Or longing flickers into flame So tell me goodbye, and then, Won't need to say again. For let me tell you: I have known The pain of leaving when love's grown But at the end, don't let's pretend for fear of hurting, We'll know instead, goodbye's been said, no final curtain. Time after time, I'm guarding my mind. That's me, just me. ====================== No words, I saw you hurting, I turned away, No words, You wouldn't want me to see, or stay. 'Cos I knew you - You had me down I'm the joker, Cynic and clown All I'd done and all I said Would show that I could handle My life, Sweetly deranged, almost in control Your life, Kind of the same, now I see the whole I could spin the world Under my thumb It's a trick I learned Easy for some All you'd done and all you'd said Made me believe that we both Know the game, cool and smart Playing all the winner's parts Living truth: the face a mask but no disguise You were there where I was too, Never asked, never knew, Too wise to look into each other's eyes. You were Someone who knew me, but not too good No threat Couldn't see through me, of course you could We were so loud Nothing was heard We were so proud Nothing was shared My fears concealed, your tears alone You nor I would blink first I was there where you were too, Never asked, what you're going through? 'Cos I knew that I'd hear myself in your lies No words told about Sentences alone served out Silence as empty as my aching eyes. No words, had to wait Till you're gone, became too late To save ourselves losing all to the game Sending through the void to you Call to say it's got me too Just to say that always we were both the same ====================== There was noise in the sky And a flash lit his eye The rain fell like a prayer And he never turned to go He just watched the steel-grey road Looking for his lover in the air. She'd been there once long time She'd been there in his mind And told him she'd return In the darkness of the day When the water-blankets sway If he waited long enough to learn. Shapes around him, rainmist curling, Is it her? Streaming like a beam of snow Never the same But he would know her anywhere, in the air. Turned his wet frozen feet Down the rain running street And wore his collar high Was she gone or was she there? Was she faithful, did she care? Only hope, he must believe or die. ... When the gates close behind On the torments of mind He rises to her call Knows the joy he knew before Gives the sign she can't ignore Knows and takes and she can have his all In another universe They love again All the stars around them run She knew for ever he would come To meet her there in the air She said: These eternal dreams I give They are for you, love, the moments that you lack, My world will always call me back, But not alone, with you my own. Long before the dawn of years She'd told him she'd be there No more fears Only meet me in the air. =============== It's getting late now. The silence of the night Echos back my questions, Answers all denied. A dream slips through my mind As if you spoke again A smile lifts from your lips My best and final friend You know, it's been so long, Or maybe just a moment, Your fingers on my hand, And no words mean what that last touch meant. There's a bright star in the sky tonight And I think it's shining for me A sun's stream, a million years light Washes one more life out to sea. I don't know all the answers I don't know just one There's a bright star in the sky tonight It's the only light I left on. =============== Goodbye my friend, it's hard to leave you I don't know when I'll see you again Goodbye my friend, it's hard to leave you I don't know when I'll see you again We planned the whole thing together, Some great rewarding endeavour, Built a team, we were too good Pulled the jobs and spilt no blood. We took our chance when we sensed it, Seized it and stole it and fenced it. Almost rich, the world our take, Bread in hand, a piece of cake. Goodbye my friend, it's hard to leave you I don't know when I'll see you again Goodbye my friend, it's hard to leave you I don't know when I'll see you again Will you be sorry I'm leaving? Glad that you woke up still breathing? Sleep now my friend, and dream of me, Of never such seas and liberty. They say your partner has tricked you, Just left enough to convict you, Taken the rest, invested in space Sand on the beach, pretty nice place Goodbye my friend, it's hard to leave you I don't know when I'll see you again Goodbye my friend, it's hard to leave you I don't know when I'll see you again =============== Now you've held me close We said goodbye Caught the moonlight in your eye. Sailing on again, for some far bay, Hope that you'll be back someday. And you, you mean so very much to me. You, you showed me things I couldn't see. I'll remember Your face next year You'll forget my smile and tear. Moving on again, it's just your way, Where, I'd ask you. Please don't say. But you, you mean so very much to me. You, you showed me things I couldn't see. And you mean so very much to me. =============== |
