Autumn blew it's leaves at me,
Threatening winter as I walked.
Summer always goes so quick, barely stopping like my thoughts.
Which dip and spin and change so fast
I have to wonder - will I last.

Through the windows of the train,
I caught reflections of a paper cup,

Aim high, hum along, lady
Too shy, bite my tongue and maybe
Unfair if you ever leave me
Need you like water needs a flower

Deep ravines within ourselves
Drunken nights up on the shelf
God, strike me down if I don't come through

And all the pictures on the wall
Serve only to remind you of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give
There was a time I really loved you
But when that was I just can't say
As all the memories merge into one
As each day becomes each day

The sunny sand we ran along
Everyday began upon
The summer's kiss of love and adventure
And every June that we fell into
Left a mark upon us too
Etched forever as a moment we'd remember
And we'd remember

It's not in the way
It's not in your hair
You won't find it
Under your chair
It's not in a hollow
Or pieces of wood
I don't see it
Anywhere no more

I never used to pray
I never been to church
But when I hear that sound
It goes to my heart
Straight to my soul
Oh, I don't know
Straight to my soul, mm
If I got a God

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.
And I love the ground whereon she stands.

I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes.
I whish the day it soon would come

Black river
Black river
Black river

The story?s still unfolding and like the river rolling
It's always moving like a tide
Seemingly unchanging
But of course nothing stays the same, you'll see

Can nobody love you
Like I love you, yeah
Can nobody need you
Like I need you, yeah

While you got your head in the clouds
And talking so loud
Can't you see past the stages

What is this book
That swells with fables
On oceans of ages
Of changing truths?
What is this book?
What is this truth?
That treats the children so bad
Homeless and broken

I'm gonna clear out my head
I'm gonna get myself straight
I know it's never too late
To make a brand new start

I'm gonna kick down the door
I'm gonna get myself in
I'm gonna fix up the yard

In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to come
Oh, she's the one

Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out all the rain
She caused me such pain

Come along and be my baby
Though we've only met
I just wanna take you home and
Let nature do the rest
I've been watching you awhile
Put me to the test
Wondering what is going on
Underneath that dress

Бывший солист Jam.

It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow,
Tunes of promises that we can't keep.
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Driving nowhere, going no place
I'm just drifting, I've got low faith
I'm just waiting for a tide
To take me nowhere, along for a ride

Pleasure sifting, can you keep it?
And as I'm drifting, it's hard to feel it
And I feel I'm floating in a time

Careful not to end or fight no one
Still battling on when all your enemies are gone
Making you look dumb and stupid
The empty ring

What would it matter to you
If the pleasure always planned
Was right there in your hand

Where angels meet - their words are whispers
As sea touches shore - the clouds move swiftly
And me, so small
Compared to it all
Like a fly on the wall
As pieces sweep
Their meaning is still no clearer
And under my feet

Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide

Sometimes a great notion
Can lead you astray
So weak to devotion

Minds alive! On Friday Street
Summerfly's around my feet
And wee still stars
Are in my eyes

And mine's alive on Friday Street
A pulse goes on, on Friday Street
Time seems longer against its beat

I shake and fall underneath my sheets
The sunlight creeping from my head down to my feet
Telling me to rise and face the light again

I plead to dawn, "don't make me move"
I just want to vanish and forget all that's true
Just one more night and I'll be alright

Tuesday's slow, I just don't know
What's happening here at all
We go for days without a word
Without a kiss
Both looking for something that we missed

I thought I'd lost you for a while
Couldn't find you in a crowd

And I looked up and I spoke to God
And God said look at you, don't look at me
You only call on me when you need me
And when you don't, you hardly think of me at all

I don't enter your head for weeks at a time
And the times I do are in your despair that you created and not I
And still you look up at me in such pleading terms

Try, try if you can
Try and get your back up
And off the golden sands
Try to get somewhere
That you've never been
As you sit upon the green grass
There's still so much to see

The smoke ring?s running through your hair
There's a look in your eyes
I see a glint of smile on your face
But I know that smile ain't mine

Oh, a fool he is
Oh, a fool he is

We're words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
At the birth of a dream
Vapors passing really
So I'm touched by the thoughts
In the fleeting minutes after

Hidden in the back seat of my head
Some place I can't remember where
I found it just by coincidence
An' now I'm all hung up again
Just like a soldier from the past
Who won't be told it's over yet
Refusing to put down his gun
He's gotta hurt someone

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talking.
Something deep down in my soul said cry girl,
When I saw you and that girl walking.

I would rather,
I would rather go blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away from me, child.

In the car
In the car
Have I taken it too far

All shook up
Nowhere to go
Just me and my baby
All alone

Into the mists of time and space
Where we have no say over date and place
Don't get embarrassed if it happens a lot,
That you don't know how you started or where you're gonna stop
And if at times it seems insane - all the tears in searching;
Turning all your joy to pain - in pursuit of learning;
Buy a dream and hideaway - can't escape the sorrow;
Your mojo will have no effect - as we head into tomorrow

I'm invisible
Float across the floor
You can't even see me

Drift through walls and tables
And you still don't believe me
I'm not one to give up
But I feel I'm at a loss

Come out to play
Now the light nights are here
We'll swing and sway
Now the light nights are here

Hold us
Now the light nights are here
We'll love

(For such a long time)
I couldn't find myself
(For such a long time)
Thought I was somebody else
(For such a long time)
I couldn't find no peace
For such a long time, long time
(For such a long time)

Midnight star
Light the way
For thoughts that change
Like night to day,
And bless the course
That runs in time
No matter how for,
Shine my way.

In the midnight
Can you hear me?
In the madness
Ooh, can you see me?
Mmm, I am waiting
Like a mayfly
It's a cold night
For a May time

She's in my head
She's in my mind
And I'm all she says
Yes she knows me well
As well as you can
She's on my side
I often hide
In her magic hair

Mirror ball, when will you spin?
Light up the room and our lives begin
'Til we no longer feel the cold
We're now embraced by the mirror ball

The sound of soul spins through the air
Lifting up our hearts, our eyes and our ears
'Til we no longer accept our fate

The moving canvas prowls again
Stalking like a midnight king
On the hunt for something
Or someone

You better hope someone's not you
His pale blue eyes will set on you
And you'll meet his gaze

Daylight turns to moonlight, and I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works, gazing upon the rest;
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm;
I wish to stay forever, letting this be my food

But I'm caught up in a whirlwind and my ever changing moods.
Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet, for me won't be too soon;

I was gonna say hi
But no one there
There's me forgetting
Just how long it's been
And the palm trees sway
As a warm breeze blew
And the sun was high
On Sunset

Past midnight's hold
Where the world's awaiting
I'll wait for you love
But I close my eyes, as there's pain too in paradise
Hey baby say, just what you're thinking
Know I know it, yeah, feel I'm sinking
Know I feel it, I know you feel it too
Across the water, there's a boat that

He is not the God of creation
But he is the Lord
Of the morning light
And with his song
That floats on up
Through the daybreak
It is he that
Will stay daylong

What's in a life
If you don't live it, baby
It's just getting on by
With a promise, what if, maybe

Hanging around
Waiting for something to fall
And once in a while

I've got a grapefruit matter
It's as sour as shit
I have no solutions
Better get used to it

I don't need a ship to sail in stormy weather
I don't need you to ruffle the feathers - on my Peacock Suit
I'm Narcissus in a puddle

The blue of the sky
The cool of the morning
I got nothing on my mind
Only love that's coming

The birds and bees
I find it
The sun through the trees

Come blackest crow, start the wheat field blow
In a wind so high, it waves and glows
'Til you can't see the wood for the trees
I'm like anybody on their knees
Trying to find a way to make it fit
Picking up sticks

Let's swirl again, take us far away

I am a ploughman and I plough my earth
I get my pay from the earth I serve
A little corn and a glass of wine
I want no more 'cause this life is fine

Fly away
High away
Fly away

Here is the tune I've been writing -
It's been so long in the making
I hope it's worth all the waiting
Not expect it all for free

Everything has one ending -
Everything has it's day
There's no use in pretending -

He went off
Like a rocket touched
Way up in the sky
Beyond the bars in our minds
Just took off
Rocket to the sun
Blast his way through here
Beyond the world in our eyes

I have my thoughts to position
But do I know how to act?
I have no silent ambitions
But does that make me a man
Until I learn all I can
And mean all I understand
As a way of living
I'm a piece of the earth

Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray
Carry me home, carry me home
You old sea spray

Like the million stars before you
You shine through the strictest curfew
And listening to the rules of no one

The tipping of scales
And the balance of time precede it
The ticking of clocks
In silent homes admit it
Larks ascending
Clash with planes
O my soul, what will I do to feed them
Nothing inside, nothing outside

Do you still feel the same way about it
Like you always said you would
Or has time re-written everything
Like you never dreamt it could
Remember when we wanted to fly forever
On a magic carpet ride
Well forever seems a long time
Cutting us down in size

The sound of thunder on the ocean when the darken rise
Sunlight are too nice, the sun and kisses on the far off shore

Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be
Starlite are too nice, such faces in such a place to be

Some raindrops that glistened after downpour on a summer's day
A smoke fire, a love fight, a... in the further fields

I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now, while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes

Along winding streets, we walked hand in hand
and how I long for the sharp wind to take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair

How's my baby boy?
How's your little sister?
Will they see the dawn?
Will they get that pleasure?

We're all born free
And freedom's our right
Then why do we have to ask at all?

A police car and a screaming siren
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking

That's entertainment, that's entertainment

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots

See that black boy over there, runnin' scared
his ol' man's in a bottle.
He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time
so now he's livin' in the bottle.
See that black boy over there, runnin' scared
his ol' man got a problem
Pawned off damn near everything, his ol'
woman's weddin' ring for a bottle.

Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
I can't see or feel, like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect, aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself, I light the fuse
I'm the changingman, built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman, waiting for the bang
As I light a bitter fuse

Everyone thinks it's fine
Making cash, coasting time
Everyone thinks it's fair
To be almost free - to be almost there
But not really aware

Anyone can cry
So wipe away those phoney tears in your eyes

Can you put a smile back on, all these faces
Of all the people from such different places
And if you can succeed, what then will you achieve,
With a different tune to play, you've been saving for a rainy day

Will you heal the scar that's on, the years been wasted
The tears spent of the past, just filling spaces
Or is love forever gone, banished to a smaller part

Everybody let me tell you ‘bout my love
Brought to you by an angel from above
Full equipped with a lifetime guarantee
Once you try it, I am sure that you’ll see

Without love there’s no reason to live
Without you and what would I do with the love I give
All my loving to you I’ll be giving

Here I am, ten stories high
Not a single cloud in my eye
Not a thing I'd change if I could
I'm happy here in my neighborhood
And all the things I've never been, I've
Never seen, I don't care much
And all the things I've never done, I've
Never won, I don't care much

The sun came out & hung above
Over our heads but far enough to see
A bomb exploding in another town
Children choking on a poison cloud
While on the streets, where lovers once walked,
Side by side in idle talk
Bullets fall like unholy rain
People change as the panic sets in,

Why be the bully now in my dreams?
Whenever life falls on me
Let's play the way we were, my love
If there's another life to sow
You're still my little girl
And my special boy
Today we hope to sing
Where does the willow

There's a sheet upon the sky
Kinda mixes my soul
On the king's highway
I didn't know where to go

If you're ever feeling lost
Never thought I was
Can the king fall again?

My son runs to the shore
To the world that lies before
He can't hear my sound
He's much to in tune with the ground

He sees only the tide
And the surf and the sea
He's oblivious to me calling

High tide - mid afternoon
People fly by in the traffics boom
Knowing - where you’re blowing
Getting to where you should be going.
Don’t let them get you down
Making you feel guilty about
Golden rain bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now.

Fly, on wings of speed,
That will bring you home to me,
I'll never be free,
And darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile.

Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate,

Sugar town has turned so sour
Its people angry in their sleep
There's more small-town paranoia
Sweeping down its evil sheets,
You can tell it's witching hour
You can feel the spirits rise
When the room goes very quiet
And there's hatred in their eyes

You do something to me
Something deep inside
Im hanging on the wire
For a love i'll never find
You do something wonderful
Then chase it all away
Mixing my emotions
That throws me back again

I could be discontent and chase the rainbows end
I might win much more but lose all that is mine
I could be a lot but I know I'm not
I'm content just with the riches that you bring

I might shoot to win and commit the sin
Of wanting more than I've already got
