Enchanted
02:22
|
|||
the way the rain is enchanted
and falls like feathers
drifting to the ground
without a sound
the way that winter surprised us
breathing into the cups
of our frozen hands
slowing down
slowing down
beyond the sky at the other side
of an ocean of night
there is a fire
that's going out
going out
but behind our fears and our worries
lies something deep and bold
that can stand the cold
and never doubts
never doubts

Wasteland
03:56
|
|||
la la la...
on the radio I hear a man
the sound of rain is in the land
in the wasteland
in the fallen leaves on the banks
you make a seat with blistered hands
in the wasteland
la la la...
there's a riot in the thoughts you keep
a river running cold and deep
in the wasteland
la la la...

Cannonball
03:26
|
|||
got a cannonball
too heavy to drag
it's kinda serious
been trying to hide it
want you to take it off
cause it tying me down
and when I start to run
I don't think I can stop
like a feather
on a bed of air
shoot me up into the atmosphere
pull me out and far away from here
got a heavy heart
and my head doesn't bother
can't even put a foot
in front of the other
so won't you shoot me up
up in a bubble
between the satellites
leave all my troubles behind
like a feather
on a bed of air
shoot me up into the atmosphere
pull me out and far away from here

Line Of Fire
04:22
|
|||
you and me
we have a lot in common
we're not the same
but we accept the other one
but then we see each other
changing into someone else
someone else
we're in the line of fire
where no one goes unharmed
they're throwing all the lovers out of town
well I don't want to change you
but you won't be who you are
you want to be stronger
I don't want to be anyone
we try to keep each other safe from harm
but it's getting harder
getting harder
we're in the line of fire
where no one goes unharmed
in the line of fire
where no one goes unharmed
they're throwing all the lovers out of town
but we'll take them all down
take them all down
take them one by one
take them all down

Dance For The Dead
04:15
|
|||
if one day the sun gets tired of shedding light
and his sister the moon's found sleepwalking out of sight
if gravity just checks out and leaves us all in flight
we'll take one last floating breath and say good night
where we came from
where we're going
there's a place for us
we were sharing the news of some friends who'd lost a child
when you put on the music they played when your father died
and we fought back the tears well at least we tried
you said it's been forty years but it never hurts to cry
where we came from
where we're going
there's a place for us
there's a place for us
where everything we lost will be
there's a place for us
where everyone we've lost we'll meet
again and all we'll do is dance

The Storm
04:33
|
|||
I hold my breath open my eyes
become a witness of the
forces closing in
the rush of fury in the sky
the avenues abandoned
left to take the rain
the pouring rain
alone
the beating on the window panes
the tearing at the frailest of things
the waters rise and fall the wind
howling it's merciless tune
it's safe and warm
it's a perfect storm
be quick to love slow to believe
it takes some practice to see
blessings in disguise
to accept what you receive
to hold your head up like a
beggar will hold up his hands
as violent poetry is poured out
over the land
the beating on the window panes
the tearing at the frailest of things
the waters rise and fall the wind
howling it's merciless tune
it's safe and warm
it's a perfect storm
it's safe and warm...

Waterside
03:03
|
|||
sitting on a bench
in your emerald dress
in Christopher Columbus park
a neighbour shakes a hand
keeps a skinny nag
says there's giants in the land
oh oh oh
in the evening light
oh oh oh
by the waterside
here comes the judge
thank you very much
gives you flowers in a vase
and right around the bend
is a friend of a friend
she's publishing your memories
oh oh oh
in the evening light
oh oh oh
by the waterside
remember when the days were bright
and the wind began to sing
remember when the ships were sailing in
the sun is in the sky
like another glass of wine
down in old San Juan
I can hear the breeze
coming up from the beach
the kids all wave goodbye
now they're lighting up the trellis wire
you were singing in your dream last night
yeah let's do it again sometime
oh oh oh
in the evening light
oh oh oh
by the waterside

Goodbye
03:46
|
|||
she said the room was full of angels
you could hear them in the sounds
and I found myself in the middle of it all
there was a lightness all around
goodbye goodbye my dears
gonna learn to live without
goodbye goodbye my dears
gonna have to live without
we were staring at the mountains in the distance
as wonder filled our thoughts
and when we had to turn and face our own existence
there was a lightness in our hearts
goodbye goodbye my dears
gonna learn to live without
goodbye goodbye my dears
gonna have to live without

Island Of Sorrow
03:18
|
|||
like a song that's waiting for a melody
there are places you can't leave
where the empty streets are full of memories
and all the things that cannot be
carry me on
to where the river runs
hurry up before tomorrow comes
and leaves me behind
in the arms of the night
stranded on an island of sorrow
there are worries there are wounds that never heal
there's a pain we have to feel
but if these chords are broken
well then let them ring
if there's a song then let me sing
carry me on
to where the river runs
hurry up before tomorrow comes
and leaves me behind
in the arms of the night
stranded on an island of sorrow
