Dreams
Lately I have been thinking 'bout the way it used to be,
When life was full of promise and love was fantasy,
They tell me that the hurt will fade, but it just won't go away,
I try so hard to see the sun, but everything is grey.
All my dreams are falling down,
All my dreams are falling down.
There was a time I trusted you to help me bear the pain,
But I look out my window now, and all I see is rain,
If only I could turn back time to my dreams of yesterday,
If only I could stay a child, and trust in you that way.
All my dreams are falling down,
All my dreams are falling down, falling down.

15 Doors
They saw somebody in the window; the light on in awe,
Could have kept inside for one moment, and give my wife a telephone call,
So sorry to alarm you; I'm not gonna harm you,
Don't call the night patrol, just look at me shaking in the midnight cold.
I've been knocking on fifteen doors,
I've been knocking on fifteen doors.
Will you come to me in the morning to say, "How do you do"?
Will you stand there, stare, and wonder 'cause I don't remember you?
I say, one I was a stranger, once I was in need,
But you hid behind the door, and left me shaking on your front porch.
I've been knocking on fifteen doors,
I've been knocking on fifteen doors.

Black Cloud

Black Cloud
Suspended from the heavens, sheltered by your hand,
Riding on a black cloud,
I tremble for my brothers with houses in the sand,
Riding on a black cloud,
Thunder makes me shiver, but you give peace of mind,
While some are deaf to winter, or blinded by red wine,
Riding on a black cloud, riding on a black cloud.
I would not be found laughing at tales of love and death,
Riding on a black cloud,
Or fatal inclinations to savour mortal breath,
Riding on a black cloud,
Some are tales of sorrow, and some of hope and fear,
Dear God, have eyes of mercy; your spirit I revere.
Riding on a black cloud, riding on a black cloud,
Riding on a black cloud.
Riding on a black cloud, riding on a black cloud.

Clouds
The blood remains as red, that colours our spirits white,
The blood remains as warm, that paints black skies with fire,
The word remains as high, that commands the snake to crawl,
The promise ever true, that shatters the venom vile.
The clouds are 'round about you,
Clouds are 'round about you,
Clouds are 'round about you,
The shadows veil your eyes.
The love remains as pure, that poisoned seas will ne'er dilute,
The love remains a flame that many waters can not quench.
The clouds are 'round about you,
Clouds are 'round about you,
Clouds are 'round about you,
The shadows veil your eyes,
The shadows veil your eyes,
Shadows veil your eyes.
The Ghost is ever bruised, who defends me when I fall,
The Ghost is ever sure, who holds tight for precious life,
The blood remains as rich, that poor sinners drink like wine,
The blood remains as warm, that paints black skies with fire.
The clouds are 'round about you,
The clouds are 'round about you,
The clouds are 'round about you,
The shadows veil your eyes,
Clouds are 'round about you,
Clouds are 'round about you,
The shadows veil your eyes,
Shadows veil your eyes

To Bid Farewell

To Bid Farewell
Away we go again, too early in the morning,
Just one more thought, or three, before I say goodbye,
Insurance policies are in the second drawer, love,
Now listen close to one last...
Sad sigh for the words I never would say,
If I were to bid farewell, my love, today,
A glad sigh for the promise of a new day,
If I were to bid farewell and fly away.
I've sung a thousand songs, give or take four hundred,
Tried to ride the clouds; I know you came along,
I feel some turbulence now,
And if this were farewell, friend, would you hear one final...
Sad song for the songs I never would sing,
If I were to bid farewell, my friend, today,
A glad song as the bells beyond the night ring.
And though I walked beneath the moon, the sun was in my eyes,
So this is not a sorry tune, but Heaven help me.
A sad sigh...for the words I never would say,
If I were to bid farewell the world today,
A glad sigh for the promise of a new day,
If I were to bid farewell and fly away,
A sad song for the songs I never could sing,
If I were to bid farewell to you today,
A glad song as the bells beyond the night ring,
If I were to bid farewell and fade away

A Sentimental Song
Children tremble,
Flowers fade so sadly,
Love is strange to understand,
Winter winds blow,
Does the truth sting badly?
Let your tears fall into my hands,
Let your tears fall into my hands.
Listen closely, and I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know just how I feel,
Listen closely, I will sing for you a sentimental song.
Hide with me tonight,
Love endures the weather,
Let the rain make everything new,
In the morning we will dance together,
Let my song fall down around you,
Let my song fall down around you.
Listen closely, and I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know just how I feel, (in my heart)
Listen closely, I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know my love is real.
Listen closely, I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know just how I feel, (in my heart)
Listen closely, I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know my love is real, (a sentimental song)
Listen closely, and I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know my heart is true, (a sentimental song)
Listen closely, I will sing for you a sentimental song,
And you will know how I love you.
And you will know how I love you

Love Your Mind
And I don’t see why you’re over there now,
I can’t understand the words you’re saying to me,
Slide a little bit closer,
Now show me the way you feel about the cloud formations.
Baby, I love your mind,
I love your mind,
Baby, I love your mind, and I want your touch.
And if I pull over so you can have a turn, will you take us both into oblivion?
Do you really think the sun is gonna melt us, every one?
Do you blame the moon for hypertension?
I love your mind,
I love your mind,
Baby, I love your mind, and I want your touch,
Baby, I love your mind,
I love your mind,
Baby, I love your mind, and I need your kiss.
And if I come closer, honey, hold on tight to the wheel when you feel like driving us into a ditch.
Baby, I love your mind,
Baby, I love your mind,
Honey, I love your mind, and I want your touch,
Baby, I love your mind,
I love your mind,
Baby, I love your mind, and I need your kiss,
And I want your touch,
And I love your mind

Spring
Hey, everybody out; let's play outside,
Ooh, that dreaded ear-buzzing; yeah, it's poison time,
Never saw the world more green, nor the sky so clear,
Spring is finally here.
Love is alive in you, love is alive in you,
Believe in your own reflection, see it in my eyes,
Love is alive in you; don't say it isn't true,
Believe in the resurrection, see it in my eyes.
Follow any line on your face,
Ooh, identify the pain; yeah, now feel it fading,
I think know you better now than a season ago...well enough to know.
Love is alive in you, love is alive in you,
Believe in your own reflection, see it in my eyes,
Love is alive in you; don't say it isn't true,
Believe in the resurrection, see it in my eyes.
I know you so much better now than I did at the start,
Find it in your heart.
Love is alive in you, love is alive in you,
Believe in your own reflection, see it in my eyes,
Love is alive in you; don't say it isn't true,
Find it in your heart, see it in my eyes,
Believe in the resurrection.

Leprechaun
You know I really do dig your style, it's true,
So I sincerely hope you will appreciate mine too,
And it appeals to me how love is a mystery.
Honey, turn the porch light on; high-stepping across your lawn,
If you're thinking it's a leprechaun, well, it's only me, living free tonight.
I never wish to alienate you by seeming obscene,
For love of life and chlorophyll, my favourite light is green,
And now I hope you're digging this way I dance a jig.
Go on, honey, turn the porch light on; high-stepping across your lawn,
If you're thinking it's a leprechaun, well, it's only me, living free tonight.
Go on, honey, turn the porch light on; high-stepping across your lawn,
Go on, honey, turn the porch light on; high-stepping across your lawn,
If you're thinking it's a leprechaun...thinking it's a leprechaun, well, it's only me.

Hey, Gene
I suppose you're doing all right now, making beautiful music on a white cloud,
The Father, Son and a holy host of angels surely sent up three cheers, even as your mortal friends shed a few tears,
We miss you down here.
Hey Gene, we remember you,
Yeah, we laugh when we think of Eugene,
Hey Gene, we remember you,
Yeah, we cry when we think of you, Gene,
Hey Gene, we remember you,
Yeah, we love you anyway.
I suppose you've found some peculiar creatures to get to know,
You always were a curious, kind soul,
Sad you had to go so soon.
Hey Gene, we remember you,
Yeah, we laugh when we think of Eugene,
Hey Gene, we remember you,
Yeah, we cry when we think of you, Gene,
Hey Gene, we remember you,
Yeah, we love you anyway,
Hey Gene, flap your wings.

Enough To Love
If I could touch, with my fumbling hands, your scars,
If I could know, in my rebel mind, your heart,
If I could see, with my lusting eyes, your face,
If I could taste, on my withered tongue, sweet grace.
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Enough to die enough to love?
If I could hear, with two muffled ears, your voice,
If could find, in my troubled life, true joy,
If I could feel, with numb fingers, your spirit,
If I could drink, for my barren soul, your tears.
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Enough to die...enough to die enough to love?
If I could touch, with my trembling hands, your scars.
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Enough to die?
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Would I trust you near enough?
Enough to die, enough to live, enough to love?

A Friend So Kind
Sometimes you've gotta laugh
Even when it hurts
Better still with somebody brushing off the dirt
Who knows we're all ridiculous
Yet somehow sublime
He celebrates the journey
And tells you to climb
He tells you to climb
There is no mountain of virtue
Higher to ascend
No quality
More divine
Than to be a friend
Ah to be a friend
So kind
When you feel ashamed
And ugly inside
You need someone who cares
In whom you dare confide
To stare into your dark soul
And see hope and light
To tell you, "You're glorious
I know you'll be all right
You're beautiful, I love you
I know you'll be all right"
