So I walk Alone
I ask no quarter friend
I walk alone
Til I find you again
I know no place to call my bed
But I know this thorny crown
If you would only feed your head
You’d see your hands are bound
I feel the pain inside my heart
Like a knife it tears me apart
My tears they shed I have no one
God, please tell me what i have done?
I have no friends, no one who cares
Nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me, I don’t know why!
I lock the door and i cry
I see myself, I am a man
Just like you and all of your friends
My heart so warm, shattered like glass
Don’t know how much longer I can last
I have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me, I don’t know why!
I lock the door and i cry
Alone again…I’m alone again
Alone again…I’m alone again
Well that’s how it will be 'til the end
I’m walking down a street where children play
When they see me they run away
She will not look at me, she won’t say why
And when I ask her she just cries
No-one will talk to me, they turn to go
Their faces say there’s something I should know
Could I be a victim of the games of all my friends
Or am I really being watched by the eye of the lens
My world is empty now, no-one comes near
No-one can stand the smell of fear
Hours pass so slowly, time beats a drum
As I wait for what I hope won’t come
Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She often inclined to borrow somebody’s dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let’s try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
What I dream I had:
Pressed in organdy;
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
Softer than the rain.
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays.
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways,
As I walked on.
And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
I held your hand.
And when I awoke and felt you warm and near,
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears.
Oh I love you, girl.
Oh, I love you.
The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head…
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I’m not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn’t that the way?
Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it’s everybody’s sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life’s in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it’s true
All the things you do come back to you
Sing with me, sing it for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it’s just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the Good Lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
And dream until your dream come true
Welcome to my dream
And how are you?
Will you be here long?
Or just passing through?
Brush off that stardust
Where have you been?
Don’t tell me my rainbow
Was late getting in
Welcome to my dream
It now seems real
You’re what it needed
To make it ideal
So glad you got here
And I hope you can stay
But welcome to my dream
Anyway
An old man walks along on the sidewalk
Sunglasses and an old Stetson hat
The four winds blow the back of his overcoat away
As he stops with the policeman to chat
And a train rolls out of the station
That was really somethin’ in its day
Picking up speed on the straight prairie rails
As it carries the passengers away
It’s gone
Only a dream
And it’s fading now
Fading away
Only a dream
Just a memory without anywhere to stay
And another hundred people just got off of the train
The bridge holds back the sky
Can’t hold back what’s inside
And the train above me
Sounds like the music in my head
My thoughts are undecided
I think it so I hide it
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
I wish that I was stronger
Could keep my head for longer
I sit and watch my fear
But it won’t disappear
I can dream myself away
Lose myself for days
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
All I know is here and now
All I know is here and now
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast
Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I’ve heard the sound from my cousin’s bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head
Always the summers are slipping away
A 60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, a radiant blur
Scars in the country, the summer and her
Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay
And the leaves that are green turn to brown…
With a sigh, you turn away
With a deepening heart, no more words to say.
You will find that the world has changed forever.
And the trees are now turning from green to gold
And the sun is now fading
I wish I could hold you closer
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer’s gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
'Tis I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an “Ave” there for me.
And I shall hear, tho’ soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you’ll not fail to tell me that you love me
I’ll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
Let’s talk of peace, sounds so cliche
A novelty catch phrase of the day
Middle, index, sign of the time
Just as complex as water to…
Someone said give peace a chance
And that’s all that we’re saying
While we’re sitting on the fence pretending
Our hearts are in the right place
But your face shows a trace of hypocrisy
Don’t tread on me
Now you can see
Make love not war, sounds so absurd to me
We can’t afford to say these words lightly
Or else our world will truly rest in peace
All You Need Is Love.
It’s Easy.
On a perfect day
Come my way
And see what matters and what you’ll never find
There’s a storm in your eyes
When your body’s next to mine
I know that angels come from time to time
Can you see better things, coming your way?
Can you feel all heavy air, lifting off your days?
Can you see it’s easy when you open up your mind?
I know that angels come from time to time
Laid up above the road
I’ll never know
Where the finest hours seem to go
I just look out to space
Me and my faith
I know that angels come from time to time
Out to lunch, speak your piece
Good and drunk, back on the street
What you see is what you get
No matter what you say
No time for anything to take the pain away
You sure ain’t the chosen few
You sure turned trick or two
You pulled the deuce this time
Another perfect day
Golden boy, take a chance
You’re a clockwork toy, you’re a dime a dance
The truth is only black and white
No shade of grey
It’s easy answers babe
But it’s the hell to pay
You know it’s just the same for you
Ain’t nothin’ you can do
No chance to change it now
Another perfect day
Each attempt to clarify
Serves only to confuse
And it feels just like a fracture
But it looks more like a bruise
And my heart can’t bear the weight
Of one more empty “I love you”
And I’ve strained my eyes to blindness
Trying to find a point of view
Now don’t go thinkin’ that I’m crazy
Just because I am
’Cause I wouldn’t act indifferent
If I didn’t give a damn
And if you think this kind of tempest
May just be your cup of tea
Then I’d like to offer you
The heart of me
Now don’t go thinkin’ that I love you
Just because I do
’Cause I’ve never met a certainty
I couldn’t misconstrue
But if you think this kind of tempest
May just be your cup of tea
Then I’d like to offer you
The heart of me
