I know how much I lean on you  
Only you can see  
Changes that I’ve been through  
Have left their mark on me  
You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star  
The brightest light that shines  
It’s been you, woman  
Right down the line

</div>

Marking the space between the days  
Early hours pass away  
I sing to you of northern lights  
I sing for you of northern nights

The northern lights are in my mind  
They guide me back to you  
The northern nights are in my eyes  
They guide me back to you

The Space Between  
The tears we cry  
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more  
The Space Between  
The wicked lies we tell  
And hope to keep safe from the pain

Another day I call and never speak  
And you would say nothing’s changed at all  
And I can’t feel much hope for anything  
If I won’t be there to catch you when you fall

Again  
It seems we meet  
In the spaces  
In between  
We always say  
It won’t take long  
But something’s always wrong

</div>

There is a lake between sun and moon  
Not too many know about  
In the silence between whisper and shout  
The space between wonder and doubt

This is a fine place  
Shining face to face  
Those bonfire lights in the mirror of sky  
The space between wonder and why

Ahh, yes to yes  
To ahh, ahh to yes  
Why the sun? Why the sun?

</div>

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream  
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream  
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again  
Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin’ through Kashmir.

Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad  
Did you ever really want somebody, the best stuff you ever had  
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good  
'Cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would

Do the eyes not sparkle, Senses goin’ keen  
Takes me a love for 'long the way, to see her feathers preen  
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to go  
We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

So bind up the French doors and lace your leather tight  
I am taking you to the eagle’s nest tonight.

Give to me your leather  
Take from me  
My lace

When you’re laying so close to me

Ahaaw, I love to love you, baby  
Ahaaw, I love to love you, baby

I’ve waited hours for this  
I’ve made myself so sick  
I wish I’d stayed asleep today

I never thought tonight could ever be  
This close to me

Nitro and acetylene open la machine  
No short heist, no overnight  
Big money take you to Brazil  
Bullet-proof vest, shatterproof glass  
Overdrive, we’re gonna pass  
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down, hurry up, come on  
The hardest part of the armoured guard  
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel

You are alive and high in my dreams  
You are the stars that mystify me  
And you are the wolf that frightens the thief  
And you are the voice that they disbelieve

We are not chained to the wheel

And you are the spark that sets us all free

I just can’t go on living life as I do  
Comparing each girl to you  
Knowing they just won’t do  
They’re not you

You are everything and everything is you  
You are everything and everything is you  
You are everything and everything is you

Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall  
Still finds a way to haunt me though they’re so small

Just walk away, Renee  
You won’t see me follow you back home  
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same  
You’re not to blame

Now I’ve gained some understanding  
Of the only world that we see  
Things that I once dreamed of  
Have become reality

These walls that still surround me  
Still contain the same old me  
Just one more who’s searching for  
The world that ought to be

</div>

And some things are over  
Some things go on  
And part of me you carry  
Part of me is gone

But you got a heart so big  
It could crush this town  
And I can’t hold out forever  
Even walls fall down

</div>

But a part of me will never be free  
And the part that’s free will never be me  
But a thing of love and beauty is in my head  
A message from my enemies, and here’s what they said:

They said that Love = Hate  
And Death = Fate  
An Enemy always = An Adorer  
But Priest = Aura

And Life = Time  
And Time = Space  
And Space = Sublime  
And Human = Race  
Oh and Woman = Man  
And Pot = Pan  
The Fauna ought to equal the Flora  
But Priest = Aura

And Beginning = the End  
The End always = the Start  
But Straight = Bent  
The Mind sometimes = the Heart  
And You = Me  
The Land = the Sea  
Richer = Poorer  
And Priest = Aura
