They say, my dame, our eyes are open windows to the soul
Forgive me if I try to find what your eyes tend to show
But while we're here, why don't you dear, pray tell me what you see,
Inside, this little mind, of mine
So take a seat, you're in for a treat, the show has yet to start
Perhaps we'll find a laugh, a sigh, or tears that break our hearts
But it would be an honor, sweet, if you'd grant me the gift of
your dearest company
(interlude)
Back and forth we go,
To and fro the moonlight river flows,
Can you feel the rising tide,
inside, as much as I?
So do you fear, the all-encroaching darkness in your heart;
The ever-creeping, slowly seeping, sinful yearnings barred?
What if I told you, there's no need to
be ashamed of, this craving of ours

Fools

Pulling out the daisies from each strand of hair,
Rolling in a field of memories that we share,
A whisper, so gently in my ear,
The warmth of a world held near
Running down a road paved with leaves red and gold,
Every step an autumn splash is given soul
I wonder why,
you chose to be mine
But I suppose,
don't look a gift horse in the mouth
Just go with the flow, and let go of all your doubt
So, now that's been said,
May I have a word with you, my friend?
<interlude/>
<chorus>
They say I ought to speak my mind,
Well, I don't mind, you
They say that only fools would rush the course,
Well of course, I'm a fool for you
So, a fool I may be,
but won't you be a fool with me?
</chorus>
So let's be,
foo~ ~ ~ools

Child of the Sky

The stars, do they dream of walking among us,
the way that we dream of flying above the
ocean of life left below, they flow, guided
by the dim light of the moon
So, what do you dream of, star from above, do
you dream of oceans, filled with the love of
one with a soul rococo, aglow in the
glimmering light of the moon
But oh, sweet child of the sky,
do you see the stars in their eyes?
If you shine your light, oh so bright,
you'll burn them up from the inside...
Do you still dream of young sunset lovers,
wrapped in a warm embrace with each other,
Singing a song yet unsung, a young love lit
by the dim light of the moon
But oh, sweet child of the sky
Can you hear the songs that they cry?
If you let them fall to your fire,
you'll leave yourself out in the cold, my child

I can hear my girlfriend making love to me upstairs
Typically I'd help her out but I'm not quite all there
You see, I've had long day working at the local shop,
I tried to kill myself with sleeping pills, but the shelves weren't restocked
I can hear my roommate watching old 80's cartoons
Typically I'd join him but I just ain't in the mood,
You see, my ol' man kill himself a year or two ago,
Never really liked him much til' his brains spilled on the floor
And I still don't,
But somehow, still I wonder
why do the sins of generations long gone
manifest their bullshit in such concrete ways
I been drinking whiskey neat alone inside my room,
I know I have a problem, but I just can't make me move
You see my momma lost her head inside a DUI
Guess she finally quit the drinking before she said goodbye
So goodbye, mama dearest,
though dearest may be bit an overstatement
Though I'm grateful for the food you slaved for every day,
I could've done without that hate
Well, I guess they had their reasons,
As do I
Since the sins of generations long gone
manifest their bullshit in such concrete ways

Welcome to my three-seat home
I'm afraid it's a little close for comfort, but if you
take a seat right next to me,
a little bit past the denim tree, you'll see,
it ain't so bad, to take a break or three
So, settle in my wayward friend
Tell me, what has been, and what's ahead?
You say your dreams are slowly dyin in the harsh light of the sun,
The way it strips, bare, all you've said and done
<interlude/>
Now, no need to be shy,
you see, bread was made for eatin', and the beer to be drunk dry,
Let's fill those bones of yours with something more than pain and ache
and fill the lines that seem to line your hands and face
Oh, you poor old mournful soul,
you must've had a hellish year for you to be so goddamn low, oh dear, you're
Wilting like a lily under incandescent sun, drenched in blood,
imagined love, desire undone, in two from one, oh, don't you run
<interlude/>
Your fear, it speaks in tongues,
ringing through lost memories left to oblivion,
From the sound of piercing laughter to the rumblings of despair
but all you ever wanted was for anyone to care
Well, I guess I will,
Oh yes, I will...

Here, My Love

<intro>
Our youth, may go gray,
and our memories, they may fade,
oh but I, my darling dear... I'll be right here...
my love
</intro>
<instrumental/>
The sun, it drapes itself around those silver curls,
The way your body glows in colors gold and pearled,
I know the days are slowly fading into night,
But take my hand, lets laugh and dance, while there's still light
<chorus>
Our youth may go gray,
and our memories they may fade,
oh but I, my darling dear, I'll be right here, my, love...
Tragedy may take us, and hope, it may betray us
But come what may, I'll find a way, for you to hear my love
</chorus>
The stars they paint the skies in gossamers of light,
The way you paint my every hour with sheer delight
I know the end is never quite so far away,
But we've had our fun, two lives well loved, and memories made
<instrumental/>
<bridge>
On River Styx we row,
to darkness's abode,
Together we will show,
death is not a final blow,
For what night ends, the light can mend, once more
</bridge>
<instrumental/>
A song of clinking glasses lingers in the air,
The way your song, it weaves and wends through all I've shared
I know the end is fast approaching us, I fear,
but it ain't so bad with hand in hand, with you, my dear
<chorus/>
<instrumental/>

Colors of Goodbye

Skies drenched in white
Spires painted in shining light
Tell me oh dear father, has your love gone astray?
You call yourself our savior, but gone is what's been saved
Songs of grace
Words of a life embraced
Tell me oh almighty, where has my bluebird flown?
They say he's gone to glory, but I just want him home
< ooh's and aah's >
<chorus>
All of God's creation, it goes so fast and I,
I long for my salvation, but salvation's passed me by
This ringing isolation, it ripples through my mind,
But I still hear your song, and I feel your hand in mine
</chorus>
Colors of spring
White giving way to green
The wind it seems to wander, among the willow tree
I wonder if you're still here, wand'ring here with me
Skies stained in white
Words etched upon a shrine
It's been a while, old friend, since I've come on by
Though I'm not quite okay, someday I'll be fine
<chorus>
All of God's creation, it goes so fast and I,
I long for my salvation, but salvation's passed me by
This ringing isolation, it ripples through my mind,
But I still hear your song, and I feel your hand in mine
</chorus>
<ooh's and aah's and humming>

Love, won't you come down
Dear, there's no need to drown
yourself in a haze of loneliness,
lost in a sea of drugged up bliss
Love, don't fail me now.
Run, away and find
the inner peace you've left behind,
somewhere in a corner of your head,
lost in a life that you once led,
Run, oh love of mine
<interlude>
Love, where are you now?
I wonder if you ever found,
The fire in your eyes,
that shined so bright...
But sometimes, I find myself,
locked in a daze,
Lost in time, left to dwell,
on your sweet face,
Oh, if you had stayed...
<interlude>
Would I, still be yours, and you mine,
As we try, to stay the course, side by side
With your hand in mine...
Fly high and fly far,
shine bright, shining star,
Oh light of my heart,
wherever you are,
My,
Love, stay safe and sound
