The Tea Party - The Edges of Twilight

Fire in the Head

You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
Sleep here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine

And I'm waiting
When I return to her I find
I'm waiting
Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting
Hoping the rains will wash away
I'm waiting
Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
With this fire in the head

The Bazaar

Silence swimming in a pool of dreams
Beneath its depths the forgotten streams
Above, the city of the evening star
Behind its walls, the grand bazaar
As she walks through its endless maze
Cursing those who mistrust her ways
Please my friend no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me

Doorways spilling out their somber light
Casting shadows that will raid the night
Along the alleys of her ruling fears
Walk the visions that will cause her tears
Lying still as she wills her glance
Through the eyes of a charmer's trance
Please my friend no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me

And on the walls
Shadows play
Twilight souls
Anguished ways
Lost adrift
Severed seas
I await you
Come to me



Correspondences

Hope springs to life
Charmed by approaching listlessness
Hands reaching out
To grasp the open emptiness

Leading me down....

And this goodbye
Faced with hope and countenance
Souls slip away
To bask in glowing radiance

Leading me down....

As we run from the sun
And we harbour the lies
And we leave things undone
As we cover our eyes

Does it tear you apart my love
Does it tear you apart my love
It tears me apart

Charmed by this light
This sombre guidance in her eyes
Rage would entice
And final moments would arise

Leading me down...

Does it tear you apart my love
Does it tear you apart my love
It tears me apart



The Badger

INSTRUMENTAL PIECE



Silence

Silent spirit walks before me
With her beauty and with her eyes
Heaven help me
I feel I'm fading
I should rest here
For a while

In the dreamtime I'm awakened
As my senses seize the night
Heaven help me
I'm forsaken
I should rest here
For a while
And lie in the bed you've made ophelia
Dry are the lips that lost their taste of love
Drown in the waters that would give you life
Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife

In silence
In silence
Silence



Sister Awake

When the winter was over
She returned there to find him
And her memories filled her with light

She remembered the beauty
She remembered desires
And her memories filled her with light

I am the sun in the flame
Cold from the flame turns away
And in these winds came a change
She awakes...

Sister walk through these fields of delight
But I want you to know
Desperation's the tenderest trap
So gently you go
What will it take
Sister awake

When this beautiful cult of desire
Has left you for dead
Isolation will cradle the lies
Of things left unsaid
What will it take
Sister awake

And you'll look to the heavens above
And taste it's deceit
These temptations have blinded desires
To sleep at their feet
What will it take
Sister awake

And you'll hear them call out your name
Invoking the fates
Chances are you've travelled too far
In stirring their hate
What will it take
Sister awake
Awake



Turn the Lamp Down Low

Turn the lamp down low
Shelter me
Turn the lamp down low
Rising up to see
Please don't go

Do you feel the flame that's burning
As the candle dies
Do you see the spirits stirring
As you close your eyes
Do you sense the slow advancement
As the twilight thins
Do you see the serpent dancing
As it sheds its skin

Turn the lamp down low
Please don't go

Does the sun renounce it's kingdom
As the shadows fall
Does a fool rejoice in wisdom
When the raven calls
Do you embrace the dancing clayman
As he tears your flesh
Do you hear the souls screaming
In the serpent's mesh

Turn the lamp down low
Please don't go

Do you need the consolation
Of a dead man's hand
As the tears of desolation
Flood a dead man's land
Do you seek your soul's redemption
Under fervent skies
Don't you see your own reflection
In the serpent's eye



Shadows on the Mountainside

We are spirits passing through the doors of time
With an invitation heard before we find
Shadows on the mountainside
Eagles find the souls they hide

And the outcast child enchanted by the sun
Will he seek his shelter never knowing one
Shadows on the mountainside
Eagles find the souls they hide

Shadows on the mountainside
Cover me with sleep
Because I need it now

And the red rivers flow to seas
And she will return to me
And then all that I am is in her hands
And I will return to her and then
I begin



Drawing Down the Moon

Holding on
Once again
Take the time to look around
Is it all in vain
Can't you see
Stay with me

I need you now
To stop the rains
But you want to know how it feels
Until you have felt the same
Stay with me
Can't you see

Don't let me down
Stay with me
Don't leave me now
Stay with me
When darkness descends it's all you see
Don't let me down
Stay with me

She's drawing down the moon
I can see it in her eyes
I think it's too soon
I think she's going to cry
She's drawing down the moon
I think it's too soon
Can't she hear me when I say

Don't let me down
Stay with me
Don't leave me now
Stay with me
When darkness descends it's all you see
Don't let me down
Stay with me



Inanna

Over the skies and sea my love
Over the sky and sea
Riding the crest of winds above
Bringing her back to me

Into the starlit sea my love
Into the moonlit sea
Riding the crest of winds above
I'm begging you stay with me

Would you walk ten miles with me my love
Would you walk the skies with me
Would you walk ten miles with me my love
Inanna



Coming Home

When frightened by change
Serenity clings to my sleep
And wonders remain
Their world will inherit it's meek
And wicked's the taste
You feel when the mysteries arise
I've fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes

You don't know
So alone
I'm coming home

And beauty's disdain
Attends to these virtuous lies
She tries to restrain
The ardent and amorous eyes
And wicked's the taste
You feel when mysteries arise
I've fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes

You don't know
So alone
I'm coming home



Walk With Me

Tell me lady, shining sun
To feel the warmth that's come undone
Do you sleep in sympathy
And if it's true
Walk with me

All of the while you were here
All of the while you were near

In the twilight the idols speak
And in the twilight you'll always seek
A sentimental forgotten friend
Who will always love you
Until the end

All of the while you were here
All of the while you were near

And now you search for the ideals
You'll find a vice that always heals
The open wounds, the bleeding hearts
Yet still they'll say
You're torn apart

All of the while you were here
All of the while you were near

Come on lady walk with me
Come on lady talk with me
Can't you see I'm all alone
This loneliness I can't condone
Come on lady hold my hand
Take me to your shadowland
Sleep awhile in sympathy
Come on lady walk with me



The Edges of Twilight

As you draw near
I hear the mutter of the worried earth
The joyous girl, the crystal clear
Deliver us of our poor hearts from naked fear
As you draw near

As you draw near
I feel the goddess, her celestial birth
The fullness of a love so real
The twilight of the god in me glows in my tear
As we draw near
