Shiner from above
Let the ones not spoken of
Learn the truth of open love
Close your eyes dear
You are safe here
Ruined and shattered by the sorrow in the way
Same as tomorrow, just the same as yesterday
If just to borrow but a glimpse of you today
Just for an hour, won't you send away the rain?
You just don't see how you bring me down
Would it (would it) do me better
To look around
To fill the void in the heart
That's seldom found
Lo' I am lonely
And you're fading slowly
Ruined and shattered by the sorrow in the way
Same as tomorrow, just the same as yesterday
If just to borrow but a glimpse of you today
Just for an hour, won't you send away the rain?
Look at the stars in your smile
Won't you stay here for a while?
True love is never out of style
I think it's right here right now
I think it's right here right now

Nostalgia

In due time
We will find where we're supposed to stand in line
For a little peace of mind
We may find out where our troubles really lie
Call on me to relate
When all those problems that we share seem here to stay
Come along, we'll find our way
Sooner than later through these long, darkened days
Holding on
To the wrong years
Now that they're gone
Maybe it's time to dissapear
Far beyond "Far too long"
Past the point we don't belong
What remains but the reigns
And the thought of moving on
Through the fire and the glory
Of the battles we have won
What remains? What remains?
Besides the bad(?) things we have done?

There is but one right way to pray
That's to the setting sun of yesterday
All that for which you thought you paid
Along that steady course you stayed
You're putting me on
you're putting me on
Telling me I am the darkness
You've got it all wrong
You've got it all wrong
I really just don't see the likeness
All I wanted
Was to kill
The burden of reality
Won't you hold on?
Oh, won't you hold on?
Just let me see what I got here
You gotta be fair
Oh, won't you be fair?
I'd like just a taste of my last beer
Come back here
In another year
By then, I will have cleaned it up
There is but one right way to pray
That's to the setting sun of yesterday
All that for which you thought you paid
You found along that heady path you stayed

Amber Road

Down a road of amber
Through the plains of embers
It's so hard sometimes
To find what what's really on my mind
Look in the pocket of a friend
If you don't see what's really on my mind
After all of the signs
Don't you know just how hard you were to find
After all of this time
After all of this time
Down a road of amber
Through the plains of embers
It's so hard sometimes
To find what what's really on my mind
Look in the pocket of a friend
I would turn back the pages of my life
To meeting you
In my dreams i Think of only that
To be with you
Yes, you

Sirens' Song

Naked faces
Some blue and some green
Distant traces
That keep calling back to me
Lift the thin veil
Of shimmering sunshine
From the brides of shale
Beneath the brine
Starless darkness
Behold the secrets you keep
Hiding purpose
From beyond the deep
Years on
Walk tall
To rise
The rough seas of November
They'll drag us down
As their mothers still sing
"Come unto me
I have waited for thee
Give yourself free
To the kiss of the sea"
In dawn's horizon's company
Far beyond this shallow misery
Saturated voices from the Depths of sleep
Sing songs of joy in their deceit
Seek the serpents
Fortunes of mine
Rise to surface
Writhing in time
They hide
Their eyes
And everything is all right
"Come unto me
I have waited for thee
Give yourself free
To the kiss of the sea"
In Dawn's Horizon's company
Far beyond this shallow misery
Saturated voices from the Depths of sleep
Sing songs of joy in their deceit
Distant shores will provide us comfortably
Send us off, and guide us to our home
Where we belong we'll know long after we are gone
Onwards sail t'wards distant siren's song

Das Boot
05:19

In the year of '42
The wolves were in the chicken coop
Seasoned vet'ran of '43
Had to pay an entry fee
Gathered in the moonlight
At a quarter to midnight
For another tour at sea
Inside that dreadful machine
We will do our part (we cross our heart)
With brevity and courage (and hope to die)
Strewn so far apart
On the bottom of that rolling sea
By the end of 1944
Many wrecks lay on the sea floor
By the grace of 1945
One in four of us were left alive
All the guages were broken
By tremendous explosions
So close to implosion
The needle just crossed the red line
But in our hearts (but in our hearts)
Brevity and courage (so far from home)
Will keep us steady
On the bottom of that rolling sea

Zona

Don't you go on your own
On your quest for the stone
Learn your truths untold
For the Wishgranter's kingdom has come
Hi there how are you, call me Stalker
You there, Professor, and you, Writer
You must be the ones'come seeking answers
Stay near - and never talk about her
I live for the journey
To beyond this crimson home of dreary monochrome
To The Zone
Knowledge of the dead lay in the open
But don't be fooled by false impressions
You may find your innermost desire
Become infinitely higher
Since I was a young man
I've known the secrets of The Zone
And never told (But they must known)
Lost in this oasis where the grass sings lullabies
I could hardly put to words what lay before our eyes
I am but your guide through this unnatural device
It's a long and broken path
But you can make it out alive
(Probably, an awful translation)

How's the weather?
Well it's cold and getting colder
How goes survival?
Well it's kind of like the weather
What went awry with everything you ever wanted?
I don't know - I thought I did til' I defaulted
This daydream's got the best of us
Before we fell
Put there by who knows
Maybe both us
Our graves will tell
Believing
that we're not haunted
By the sound of something near to us
From the sound of it, it's dear to us
We must have gone through every proper channel

Bee Good

Just another heartfelt love song
Sung to the winds of fortunes long-gone
That lay me down
Below the ocean deep
Beside a hill too steep
Oh, lay me down
Treat yourself
Thine be good
Thou be well
All-star specialty
Blessed be my friend
You've got me getting-over all the time
You've got me getting-over all the time
Through that cloudless, thoughtless summer
Stood your visage and no other
Oh, I knew it well
You were my friend to-be
To me no mystery
Facet of my mind
You've got me getting-over all the time
You've got me getting-over all the times

The Source

Beyond the thought of sleep
One more time unto the breach
Serpent from the deep
Giving answers no one seeks
You're no good to me
No you ain't no good to me
When I shield my eyes from seein'
You trickle through the cracks of my well-being
Pick a troubling device
Rummage through your hopes
just to get through the night
Ain't a troubling feeling?
As you watch them fade away
With the misty morning light?
Borne unto the air
Reprise to my despair
Set my mind aflame
To torch the oil in my veins
You just think it's neat
To see if I can take the heat
What an awful sight
To see the power wheel of night
Keep on turning
It keeps on turning
Hope is forever fleeting
But if you're feelin' alright
Hold on to that feeling
Just be careful what you wish for in a paradise
Live always, always life-long
Live long all of your days
Always the live-long way
Live all ways, all ways life-long
Live long all of your days
Get to The Source today

Again and again
Day by day
That windy compass guides me
On my way
Who could say, who would decide to stay?
And who would choose to go this way?
See her eyes on another face
Or go through Hell again
Oh no
Let go
It's trav'lin time again
Again and again
Day by day
Ain't that the essence of the modern way?
Would I ever go so fars' to stay
In any given place?
Could I put on a brand new face?
And never roam again?
Oh no
Follow
That compass til' the end
The compass of The Windy Rose
