Every day I dress myself
I put my hopes up on a shelf
I say a prayer and I tie my shoes
the whistle will be blowing soon
The days are long and longer yet
Are the ages of loneliness and regret
I'm a simple man with a mean desire
Escape this farm this unlit pyre
So I go back home when my day is done
I try to relax and have a bit of fun
Sleep comes soon and my mind is lost
I've had too much and i'll pay the cost
No matter how much I try they keep on coming
no matter how much i want to stop running
No matter how much i run they keep on racing
Matter how much i drink i keep on chasing
no reason to sleep tonight i keep on going
a way to stay awake my mind is slowing

In a haze
Waiting for the days
Where i can laugh as the children play
Feel the chill
It keeps me still
As i sit and smoke by the windowsill
Days run into one
I watch the setting sun
Barely justify the climb
Sailing the skyline
Fields of white eternal night
Howling winds and the cold moonlight
Days run into one
I watch the setting sun
Barely justify the climb
Sailing the skyline
Fields of white eternal night
Howling winds and the cold moonlight
I can't wait to feel the rays
The warm embrace of a sunburned day

Paper Boat

A paper boat gliding past the bridge
I watch the roses pedals shed
Saw a boy grow into a man
he took the collar, a book in hand
Broken world for a broken mind
with so much potential hiding in the blind
Such a light to lay you bare
burn the soul with a scorching stare
Free your mind to the doctrine of system
Free your heart to the pain of will
Free your self from the bondage and suffering
when the night sets in and all grows still
Lock your gaze on splendor lost
you learn your lesson at value cost
carry on with your yearning life
one day you will live
Night unfurls its restless wings
Covers day with a saddened end
In the morning i'll live again
the cycle life my burdened friend

Moonshine Magic

|

|
sitting out underneath the moon
shining on me
in the afternoon
its the moonshine
its the moon-shine
Restless legs
my hands are numb
i tried to speak
but i turned out dumb
in a field in the afternoon
underneath the shining moon
when i wander i will not stir
mid-day sun passing in a blur
the rhubarb lady she gave us plenty
and watched as the nights surely passed into many
life slips by no memory
but it don't matter when you're free
it don't matter when you're free

So Shall I

So Shall I, So Shall I
As the embers slowly die
So Shall I
Starlets drift into the sky
Reflected in the weary eye
of a strange and quiet passer by
So Shall I, So Shall I
As the ashes lifting high
So shall I
Escape the searing searching fire
Lost to lust escape desire
To my own self become a liar
So Shall I, So Shall I
As the dust falls from the sky
So Shall I
Cold as stone to land and lie
Pith of frenzy escape this birth
Ashes falling to the earth
So Shall I, So Shall I
To the dust return and lie
So Shall I
I'll end with not a battle cry
But fade from heart and gleam of eye
Forseen release my soul to sky
So Shall I, So Shall I
As the embers slowly die
So Shall I

Lady In White

Feels like i'm stuck in a dream
night fades in
I spend the night with my age old sin
Break my heart take my mind
throw the chaff into the wind
look to the river for your armistice
you'll never be the same again
when I sleep I watch the sky
days turn into lonely nights
I wait for this miracle
the beating in my chest will surely slow
I'll wait for you each day and night
I'll give you my heart and mind
you'll keep me in my consciousness
but never again will I feel your caress
come back - come back
Lady in white one with out blame
one without blame
Come back to me and make me sane
Make me sane
Come on and free me from
this prison of pain
Come back - come back

i hope we meet again
we send you on with our thanksgiving
and in the end
where it all begins
it all goes to see
we all need a new beginning
