Dear God
Dear God
Hope you got the letter and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God
I can't believe in you
Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet
About God
I can't believe in you
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too?!
Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed, but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in... I don't believe in...
I won't believe in Heaven and Hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in.....
It's you
Dear God
I Will Remember You
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me
I wanna be the one
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
Fear
Morning smiles
Like the face
Of a newborn child
Innocent unknowing
Winter's end
Promises
Of a long lost friend
Speaks to me of comfort
But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose here
In this lonely place
Tangled up in your embrace
There's nothing I'd like better than to fall
But I fear
I have nothing give
Wind in time
Rapes the flower
Trembling on the vine
And nothing yields to shelter it
From above
They say temptation will destroy our love
The never ending hunger
But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose here
In this lovely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There's nothing I'd like better than to fall
But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
I have nothing to give
We have so much to lose...
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is Gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad
I know, let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you
Asleep in the deep of
My heart
Dear
Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Full of Grace
The winter here's cold, and bitter
It's chilled us to the bone
We haven't seen the sun for weeks
To long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace
Full of grace
My love
So it's better this way, I said
Having seen this place before
Where everything we said and did
Hurts us all the more
Its just that we stayed, too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness I feel like letting go
If all of the strength
And all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace
Full of grace
My love
Song for a Winter's Night
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my window pane
Where webs of snow are driftin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you
BLUE
Blue
Songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Blue
Here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs
Lots of laughs
Well everybody's saying that
Hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue
I love you
Blue
Here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
Drawn to the Rhythm
When we wore a heart of stone
We wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there
Yearning to feel free
And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night
And the smells that filled the air
And we laid us down on sandy ground
It was cold, but we didn't care
We were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
We fell asleep and began to dream
When something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us
The struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices
Telling us which way to go
And we cried out
"Is there no escape from the words that plague me so?"
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
In the still and the silent dawn
Another day is born
Washed up by the tireless waves
The body bent and torn
In the face of the blinding sun
You wake only to find
That Heaven is a stranger place
Than what I've left behind
And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Shelter
They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside all of nature cries
It's known to be cruel and unfair
But there is no place to hide
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
I can't sleep
Haunted by their faces
The sadness in their eyes
It hurts so much to see them helpless
It makes me want to cry
But still there is so much left unanswered
For so many innocent lives
They closed the door and are letting nobody in
And only the strong will survive
Shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
And I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams
And though I may seem helpless
I will do all that I can do
I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there
Shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter
Give them shelter from the coming storm
As the End Draws Near
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Grieves silently across the darkened sea
This is it
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
The starless night
Across the mountain side
No one left to talk to
There's nothing left to say
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Grieves silently across the darkened sea
You and me
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
Stretched far and wide
The barren skies
Fighting a silence
From deep inside
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Grieves silently across the darkened sea
You and me
We stand alone
We can see it all from here
Stretched far and wide
The barren skies
Fighting a silence
From deep inside
Into the valleys
The shadow of death
Grieves silently
It's in you in me
Oh it's in you in me
Oh it's in you in me
Vox
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming
Body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fire
And you left my soul to bleed
And the pain that's in your truth deceiving me has got me scared
Oh why?
Through your eyes
The strains of battle like a brooding storm
Your up and down
These pristine velvet walls like focus never forms
My walls is getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray
I see you now a vague deception of a dying day
Oh why?
I fall into the water
And once more I turn to you
And the crowds were standing
Staring faceless cutting off my view to you
They start to limply flail their bodies
In a twisted mime
And I'm lost inside
This tangled web of which I'm lain entwined
You're gone and I'm lost inside
This tangled web of which in I'm lain entwined
Oh why?
Into the Fire
Mother teach me to walk again
Milk and honey so intoxicating
Into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Open the doors that lead on into Eden
Don't want no cheap disguise
I follow the signs marked "back to the beginning"
No more compromise
And into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Free the water that carries me to the sea
You, I see as my security
And into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
I will stare at the sun until its light doesn't blind me
I will walk into the fire 'til its heat doesn't burn me
And I will feed the fire
Into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Into the night, Into the fire
Into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
Oh, I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark fade
Possession
Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide.
Voices trapped in yearning
memories trapped in time.
The night is my companion
and solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
To find the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhyme
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of the path I fear to dread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes...
