Bad

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would 
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you break, break away
Into the night
Through the rain
Into the half-light
Through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
Through the day

So let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

Wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
I'm not sleeping

If they should ask, well maybe they'd
Tell me what I should say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desparation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Isolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade....fade...
Fade away...

Not fade away, hey, hey
Not fade away
No, no, no, not fade away

Wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no
I'm not sleeping

Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
(Sing it)
Come on down


A Sort Of Homecoming

And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light in the distance

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

Oh, oh, oh...
On borderland we run...
Hmmmm...hmmmmm...

I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
We'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land

The city walls are all pulled down
The dust, a smoke screen all around
Faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance

Oh, oh, oh...
On borderland we run
And stll we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight

I'll be there tonight
I'll be there somehow
Oh come away oh come away, oh come
Oh come away I say I
Oh come away oh come away, oh come
Oh come away I say

Ah, the wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream...

Tonight
We'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land

I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight

And your heart beats so slow
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight with you
I am coming home
I am coming home


Three Sunrises

Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall
Love me till I die, my heart won't wait
Soon I will be loved...

In this love song, love
Love song, love song

Hey, hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

In this a love song, love
Love, love song

Sun shine, sun shine on me
Sun shine, sun shine on me

In this love song, love
Love song, love song

Hey, hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

In this love song, love song
Love song, love song
Sun shine on me
Bring it through to my heart
I would give you everything
I will give you my desire

Sun shine, sunshine on me
Sun shine, sunshine on me


Love Comes Tumbling

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled
For you, a virgin bride
Hide yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me

I can't lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that you can stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are
