Sea Within a Sea Some say we walk alone Barefoot on wicked stone no light and sanctuary found never waits around awhile
Marching to the sea their dreams stay in the shadows their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows See the scraping sky See my destination there tonight
So say I walk alone barefoot on wicked stone tonight Will you leap to follow Will you turn and go Will your dreams stay rooted in the shallows
See the scraping sky Far beyond the shallows Far beyond the reaches of the shadows
Though youth may fade with boyhood´s cares New fear will catch us unawares I know it will
So you might say the path we share is one of danger and of fear until the end
Love's fading babe I can see it in your eyes Your kiss is just the same but it's just a sweet disguise
Ain't like just luck To worry about me When we promise to be our world Love each other for eternity
Chorus: If you're looking for a way out I won't stand in your way If you're looking for a way out Don't stop at the tears that I'm crying They'll only make you wanna stay Don't kiss me again cos I'm trying To keep you from running away
Oh baby tell me I'm wrong Just say I'm crazy.. it's with me that you belong It's never easy when lovers have to part Oh come on stop pretending Tell me what's in your heart
Chorus
Baby don't run away Baby don't run away Say that you'll stay
Oh come on stop pretending Tell me what's in your heart
Chorus
Baby don't run away 2x
Stop pretending 3x
Please baby now
Stop pretending 3x
Please baby now
Stop pretending 3x
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?
Please baby now... stop pretending
Don't you know that I'll always.... stop pretending
It's up in the morning And on the downs Little white clouds Like gambolling lambs And I am breathless over you And the red-breasted robin Beats his wings His throat it trembles When he sings For he is helpless before you The happy hooded bluebells bow And bend their heads all a-down Heavied by the early morning dew At the whispering stream At the bubbling brook The fishes leap up to take a look For they are breathless over you Still your hands And still your heart For still your face Comes shining through And all The morning glows anew Still your mind Still your soul For still The fare of love is true And I am breathless without you The wind circles among the trees And it bangs about the new-made leaves For it is breathless without you The fox chases the rabbit round The rabbit hides beneath the ground For he is defenceless without you The sky of daytime dies away And all the earthly things They stop to play For we are all breathless without you I listen to my juddering bones The blood in my veins And the wind in my lungs And I am breathless without you Still your hands And still your heart For still your face Comes shining through And all The morning glows anew Still your soul Still your mind Still, the fire of love is true And I am breathless without you
On a Sunday night while driving my car In the sky a fallin' star Tellin' myself I don't go too far And trust by the sound of the rain
Well I wonder, well I wonder where I am 'Cos there's a long and lonesome road That will find our world of you & me babe There's a long and lonesome road That will find our world like it used to be babe
Somebody there to show me the way Yes, I'm willin' to pay And this dear old man can tell me any day Know what happens to me
They hung a sign up in out town if you live it up, you wont Live it down So, she left monte rio, son Just like a bullet leaves a gun With charcoal eyes and monroe hips She went and took that california trip Well, the moon was gold, her Hair like wind She said dont look back just Come on jim
Oh you got to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, Im standing right here You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch And a ring made from a spoon Everyone is looking for someone to blame But you share my bed, you share my name Well, go ahead and call the cops You dont meet nice girls in coffee shops She said baby, I still love you Sometimes theres nothin left to do
Oh you got to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, Im standing right here, you got to Just hold on.
Well, God bless your crooked little heart st. louis got the best of me I miss your broken-china voice How I wish you were still here with me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down You burn your mansion to the ground When theres nothing left to keep you here, when Youre falling behind in this Big blue world
Oh you go to Hold on, hold on You got to hold on Take my hand, Im standing right here You got to hold on
Down by the riverside motel, Its 10 below and falling By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes And started swaying But its so hard to dance that way When its cold and theres no music Well your old hometown is so far away But, inside your head theres a record Thats playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on You really got to hold on Take my hand, Im standing right here And just hold on.
It began when they come took me from my home And put me in Dead Row, Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know. And I'll say it again I..am..not..afraid..to..die. I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields, A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner meals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. Interpret signs and catalogue A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog. The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind. They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath at my hind They are sick breath gathering at my hind I hear stories from the chamber How Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger Died upon the cross And might I say it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told Like my good hand I tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. In Heaven His throne is made of gold The ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold. Down here it's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away. Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied. My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L. Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D. `Tis a long-suffering shackle Collaring all that rebel blood. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is burning And I think my head is glowing And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this weighing up of truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is glowing And I think my head is smoking And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this looks of disbelief. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway there was no proof Nor a motive why. And the mercy seat is smoking And I think my head is melting And in a way I'm helping To be done with all this twisted of the truth. A lie for a lie And a truth for a truth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is melting And I think my blood is boiling And in a way I'm spoiling All the fun with all this truth and consequence. An eye for an eye And a truth for a truth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of proof. A life for a life And a truth for a truth And anyway there was no proof But I'm not afraid to tell a lie. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye And a truth for a truth And anyway I told the truth But I'm afraid I told a lie.
Youve got the will, boy Youve got the power now Aint to use to run Aint to use to hide Take a ride on night life Its not a good life And I hear you screaming inside
Oh boy Youre a lonesome Zorro Oh boy Youre a lonesome Zorro
Dont act like a Don Juan Making love like Peter Pan And I hear you screaming inside
All day has been a high The next days been a low And I hear you screaming inside
(Oh boy Youre the lonesome Zorro) (Oh boy Youre a lonesome Zorro) Oh boy Youre a lonesome Zorro And I hear you screaming inside
Who could tell the story better About the things that I went through Some were great but most were terrifying and so spooky too Had to get out of there, to hide away Had to get out of there, to find my way I troubled everything too soon Now where I want to be is where I want to be is ... Need I say my only wish was To escape my earthly life High skies were no option whereas Diving deep in oceans wide Was the way for me, to hide away A possibility, to leave today I troubled everything too soon Now where I want to be is where I want to be is ... Under the sea, is where I'll be No talking 'bout the rain no more I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream the lightning comes before the roar Circumstantial situations, now I know what people meant Beware of the implications, God I've had enough of them Dedicated to be brave and find a way Just picking out a wave and slide away I troubled everything too soon Now where I want to be is where I want to be is ... Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain then taking away the pain then taking away the pain then taking away the pain I troubled everything too soon Now where I want to be is where I want to be is ... Under the sea, is where I'll be No talking 'bout the rain no more I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream the lightning comes before the roar Under the sea, down here with me I find I'm not the only one Who ponders what life would mean if we hadn't been so disappointed in the sun And that's why we're thinking that's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea And that's why we're thinking that's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea
Well, the pressure's down, the boss ain't here, He gone North, he ain't around, They say that vanity got the best of him But he sure left here after sundown. By the way, that's a cute hat, And that smile's so hard to resist But what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you, She wanted a whole man, not just a half, She used to call me sweet daddy when I was only a child, You kind of remind me of her when you laugh. In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear, It's done with a flick of the wrist. What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
You know, a woman like you should be at home, That's where you belong, Watching out for someone who loves you true Who would never do you wrong. Just how much abuse will you be able to take? Well, there's no way to tell by that first kiss. What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
You know you can make a name for yourself, You can hear them tires squeal, You can be known as the most beautiful woman Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal.
You know, news of you has come down the line Even before ya came in the door. They say in your father's house, there's many mansions Each one of them got a fireproof floor. Snap out of it, baby, people are jealous of you, They smile to your face, but behind your back they hiss. What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Got to be an important person to be in here, honey, Got to have done some evil deed, Got to have your own harem when you come in the door, Got to play your harp until your lips bleed.
They say that patriotism is the last refuge To which a scoundrel clings. Steal a little and they throw you in jail, Steal a lot and they make you king. There's only one step down from here, baby, It's called the land of permanent bliss. What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this
I guess you don't need it I guess you don't want me to repeat it But everything I have to give I'll give to you It's not like we planned it You tried to stay, but you could not stand it To see me shut down slow as though it was an easy thing to do Listen when All of this around us'll fall over I tell you what we're gonna do You will shelter me my love And I will shelter you I will shelter you I left you heartbroken, but not until those very words were spoken Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you It's hard to believe it Even as my eyes do see it The very things that make you live are killing you Listen when all of this around us'll fall over I tell you what we're gonna do You will shelter me my love I will shelter you Listen when All of this around us'll fall over I tell you what we're gonna do Hey you will shelter me my love I will shelter you If you shelter me too I will shelter you I will shelter you
I get that leaving feeling This time it's here to stay I've been weighing up the pulling And pushing me away The past is so heavy But it's something I can't leave And this future is so certain It just pushes me to my knees
Is that your heart talking Or just that befuddled mind The people that you love They change when you leave them behind
But this rope that is pulling Is whittled down to a thread And if I don't start climbing Pretty soon it'll be over my head
We all have dreams of leaving We all want to make a new start Go and pack a little suitcase With the pieces of our hearts All those worries and those sorrows We can just toss them away Buy a coffee and a paper And those step on to a train
But I've been too long wandering Limping around this town With everything that's pulling me Is pulling me further down
Go make all your excuses Go say all you goodbyes But take a look in the mirror It's the hardest one you'll ever find All those worries and those sorrows You can just toss them away Go find a new tomorrow And forget about your yesterdays So go and pat your kids And kiss your dog goodbye Leave your keys on the nail With the sadness that's in your eyes
Maybe tomorrow, today looks like it's bringing rain And I'll leave everything in order I don't want nothing standing in my way There are jobs that need tending And the logs that are waiting to stack And I'll leave everything in order I don't want nothing that's going to hold me back
Op een dag zal ik weg zijn en wat dan? Verdwenen zonder een teken te geven of te nemen en het puin dat ik achterlaat is niet langer lachwekkend.
Want wie zoals ik nooit heeft gebouwen laat niets achter dan verwachting en verwarring en wat dan?
Wellicht in uw herinnering zal ik stollen verstijven, niet lang meer blijven maar verbleken tot verleden en wat toen? Te doen? 'Het was waar' zult gij zeggen 'hij speelde met woorden als geen ander maar wat heeft dat te betekenen.' Zo bleek zal ik zijn.
And the place of sadness
I occupy with dignity
was left like a dream among stones
and the words that you spill
from the mouth that you fill
they abandon their grace and fatigue
oh, to feel without touching
and speak without talking
you'll spill
the tissues of lies
how I wish we could mend this
or learn how to throw away
as we look for someone to blame
love's been denied
don't be polite
I owe u nothing
when logics die
I'm the orgy and the distant cool
the friend you will never fool
i like the way you oppose me
let the last thoughtd languish
and try and distinguish
you'll spill the tissues of lies
how I wish we could mend this
or learn how to throw away
as we look for someone to blame
love's been denied
don't be polite
I owe u nothing
when logics die
