Water Was Rising

Have you ever been a stranger in the home of your heartland
'til the strain overwhelms and the black curtains fall
and the sound of eyes searching for the vision, forgotten,
rings remote through the wasteland like Love's lonely call?
Have you slipped through the back door while noone was watching
just to sleep through the sunrise with the wind on your face
and the sight that does greet you when you wake in the whirlwind
makes it all worth the gamble of falling from grace?
Well, I've sat on the sidelines when I should have been running
and I've jumped in the middle of battles and roads
but I always went swimming when the water was rising
and I never thought that I was the worse from the cold
and I always went swimming when the water was rising
and I never thought that I was the worse from the cold.
As I look through these letters unsent to tomorrow,
written in haste when the wasteland was green,
I light every corner that curls towards the center
and floats away, fading with all things obscene.
So I'll sidestep the blood until all is forgiven
Just to get 'cross the river and find my way home
and blow out the candles but leave a dim light on
those pictures of family and prayers carved in stone.
Well, I've sat on the sidelines when I should have been running
and I've jumped in the middle of battles and roads
but I always went swimming when the water was rising
and I never thought that I was the worse from the cold
and I always went swimming when the water was rising
and I never thought that I was the worse from the cold.

(father) -
"We didn't know it would be our erasure
We had him stoned, the last child of all nations."
(son)
"From that broken bodies beaten head
grew the tree of the masses,
memory's raging theatre of the dead,
sandpiles and churches..."
"You who stand firm, a still noise awaits you
Soon you'll hear the words whose voices escape you."
"From the painted palm of Anu's hand
the last pearls of wisdom
slipped through fingers toward the raging sea,
falling in rhythm..."
"Now must you go to see your own making
finally I've heard the last silence breaking"
"I remember, Father, where you were
when twilight was glistening;
When the waves remember what you heard,
I'll be here listening..."

Ayne says,
"I might be out of it, but of one thing I'm certain;
these days you can't escape, they are the
wind before the water,
not wishes on the stone stars."
Ayne says,
"Well they might have forgotten Me,
I'll just find a new name;
these days you can't relate but I know,
soon you'll be home in no time.
Soon you'll be home in no time.
You'd think you'd know by know,
we this day would pass
and here I'd lay beside you
in the grass...
You'd think you'd know by now,
I'd be wearing white
when I've come to know you
in the night."
Ayne says,
"you really know how to pull
upon that weighted curtain;
all the same, I think I'll remain here where there's
no seperation
so go about your diversions."
Ayne says,
"The sound of the hunters soon will
shake down the west wall;
these days you can't escape but I'll be
singing over the crow's call.
Singing over the crow's call...
You'd think you'd know by know,
we this day would pass
and here I'd lay beside you
in the grass...
You'd think you'd know by now,
I'd be wearing white
when I've come to know you
in the night."

A Window In The Rain

Green and Grey had a question
so they sent the crow
to scale the castle walls
So I wait for an answer
By a window in the rain
Watching water grow.
Stone staircase crept around us
wrapping 'round the dark,
watchful ghosts above
So I sang for the old man,
"Blessed are the dead".
Music room was round.
Bent grass blades change the questions,
throw askew the cards
just when you get'em to stand
So I wait for the answers
by a window in the rain
and they fly into the fog.
Bye.

Deer Park In Early Fall

Deer Park in early Fall
safe for the rain
stones laid in Faery ring
forming a chain...
Sun creeps in anyway
grey spiders flee;
you, cloaked in moody sky
stare into me.
From daylight's child king
passage we seek;
blades bent on sleeping sky
suddenly speak;
"Remembered roses like
words fall alone,
will forth their echo, so
fleeting a drone..."
Deer Park in early Fall,
safe for the rain
blades bent on sleeping sky,
forming a chain.

Far Be It From Me
04:25
|
|||
Night's winding down, now the house lights are on
and you fold up the chairs as I wrap this last one;
At this time of night everything starts to blur.
Far be it from me to lock out the world.
When the neon drips down to freeze, back in the night;
that's where I'll make my last plea and then I'll crawl, quiet, back out of sight
'Cuz when they say, "Hit the road", you know you best be moving on;
no outside's too cold when inside, you're all gone
and you can't talk to strangers without your life told;
far be it from me to lock out the world
Far be it from me to lock out the world.
So we pack up our roots for the long drive back to dawn
and I know, I know, you don't have to say it, everybody's got their sob story, everybody's got their sad sad song...
It's just, this time of night, everything starts to blur
and, like that slug on the razor, all your movements are, well, pure...
Far be it from me to lock out the world. you can't talk to strangers without your life told;
far be it from me to lock out the world.
Far be it from me to lock out the world.
Far be it from me to lock out the world.
Far be it from me.
