The Waxing And The Waning Wave

We walked up to the top of the highest hill and stopped still

We saw the dawning sun as it rose from the dark we saw the moon dip down and hide

It was just so beautiful it was just so beautiful

This is where the shadows come to play crossing the time between night and day dancing and skipping as the sun shows a new light

Sometime this morning the waxing and the waning wave somewhere we felt what the sun and silence say Sometime this morning we heard the trickles of the first autumn rains stood on a hill between sleep and waking up

Somewhere in between the summer has ended

Stood on a hill top it's neither night nor morning

Not one of us would dare to speak as we hovered on the horizon

This silence this stillness

Oh how we have longed to touch how we longed to feel but we didn't dare make a move

Sometime this morning the waxing and the waning wave somewhere we felt what the sun and silence say

Sometime this morning we heard the trickles of the first autumn rains stood on a hill between sleep and waking up

Somewhere in between the summer has ended

Stood on a hill top it's neither night nor morning

A Hundred Thousand Years

I've seen hope turn to pain

I've seen joy fall down again

I've seen rivers turn to dust all my memories begin to rust

I would walk for a thousand miles to be where you are

I will wait for a hundred thousand years to be in your arms

A gift of gold a Shepherd moon of blue

Across the ocean

I will search for you

A tree with no leaves would never shelter me a heart unbending will not last I would walk for a thousand miles to be where you are

I will wait for a hundred thousand years to be in your arms

I would walk for a thousand miles to be where you are

I will wait for a thousand years until you come home until you came home

When the summer warmth of the day becomes the autumn night

I think who could sleep beneath a strange moonlight?

There is no guiding star there is no summer sun

As we sleep so far from home lazy days are gone as we wake to find snow

The heat has vanished and the voice of the winds brings nothing more

There is no guiding star there is no summer sun as we sleep so far from home

Even when I was a child, a wish was never enough for me the seasons will change

And even from a child when my dreams were never enough it could be, it could be

The seasons will change it could be, could be

The night that ends all no rains could weep as I have wept

I know now my childhood dreams will no longer be kept

I am a child so far from home but with the rain

I am no longer alone

Hold onto your clever little lines let go the easy rhymes

Silence everything this silence always wins

It's perfect no one needs to say a word it will be alright

We sit through the longest night just silence everywhere

And you know this is how it all begins

And you know no one can touch my soul inside

So keep those clever lines hide away

Stay away from me through the longest night

It will be alright in the morning fog

Just silence everything this is how it all begins

And you know no one can touch my soul inside

So keep those clever lines hide away

Stay away from me through the longest night

We will soon wake our breath will be warm in the morning light

I smell like sleep heavy with seed

Deeper taking me deeper

A long way a far place to go a million or so light-years away Just a beacon in space just a star in your eyes just a pinpoint in space

In a world of cloudbusting storms we are stranded at the moon base and the air is getting low and we struggling to breath and we're trying to keep alive for you

Looking out at the roof-window

I can see so many strange things shooting stars and a flicker of lights

For a while I thought I could see heaven but the air is getting low but the air is getting low and we struggling to breath struggling to breathe And we're trying to keep alive for you

I thought I could see a white dove

I thought I could see paradise

But there was no dove just space just the dark with flickering white stars

Looking way down below me

I think I can see you

I think I can feel you

The air is getting low

I'm struggling to breath trying to keep alive for you

I leave my body behind me

I think I am being carried forward

All I can smell is dust and rust

The air is getting low the air is getting low the air is getting low

I thought I could see a white dove

I thought I could see paradise

I think I am being kept waiting

Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting

Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting for you

Say goodbye to the summer watch the waves wash back to shore

Smells of unsweetened success leave you as enlightened as before

Autumn was to blame no one spoke its name

Approaching east is winter wipe away a tear

Leave behind the colours the taste, the smell, the fear

Autumn was to blame no one spoke its name

The winter rose is falling when the streets are all empty and all the people have gone home

Everywhere is so silent beaches are so alone

You are waiting for the sunshine one misses the warm summer breeze

You long for the spring mist to add colour to the leaves

Take me away with you take away my tears

Fill me with golden sunshine don’t steal away my years

I think I have touched the light and I have seen the flame

I know I have been here before

I know I am sure to be this way again For I've been refused and I've been regained

And I've seen your eyes before and I'm sure to see your eyes again Just once again for I've been released

Regained

I feel I have walked this place before And I am sure I will walk this way again just once again

Some people, they laugh

Some people always sigh

Some people got to make it through by never wondering why

Some people sing

Some people sigh

Some people never see the light until the day they die

But I have been released and I have been regained

And I have been this way before

Winter Skies

My heart is calling

My heart is calling my heart has fallen in the rain

Who knows life grows

Hollow sorrow

Wandering under winter skies the wicked and the sane bare witness to salvation and my life starts over again

Now the clear sky is all around you your lovers shadow will surround you all through the night

There are stars glowing in the night the moon glows in the twilight

Tell me the truth whisper me some hope and I will follow

Your memories are ebony the smell of your perfume sends me to sleep

The red tinted walls of the boudoir a place of scented secrets

My beloved lover you saw a thousand loves

You saw a thousand sunsets from your window the dark lights of the city

From your window a desperate lover

Your dreams shine into a sea of stars but the memory will stay with a silent lover

Tears of ivy will weep for the vanquished as the night dawns into the day

The flowers will bud and bloom again for my beloved lover all saved in my memory, my savior of grace

There is a light shining over the river like the light from the sun

I dream of Arabia my beloved lover

The sky darkened as the night took control

Of all our destinies cloud cover thickened and I was afraid truly afraid that I should never see another dawn Winds gathered stirring the trees and the last trace of sun was obliterated I drew the curtains afraid after a while to look out

Upon a world which appeared to be dying a temporary illusion, I knew

But, given the news articles I keep on reading maybe I am wrong to presume that things can continue to go on this way And that night shall indeed be followed by day as it has done,

Ink-black succeeded blue as immediately as if fresh paint was daubed

High, high upon the ceiling of the Earth

My friends should have picked a more compassionate shade

I would even have preferred the beige

All was silent as a grave, outside not a bird or child to be heard anywhere Depressing deeply distressing since if it had been a grave I could have fought my way out

Stranger

I have a tale to tell

Now that this wind has made me cold can’t you tell that I am a lonely guy?

Stranger the clock has frozen time

Strangers linger in the rain maybe I was to blame like a storm washing over

I have no way of telling

I have no way of knowing

I tried so hard to understand

My heart has seen better days when there is winter there is doubt

Stranger

How did I suffer?

I worked all that I could

All through my life as I was told, I should

Stranger

As proud as I am to be blessed with too much fate

My heart echoes times of hate like winter sun over the horizon

I can vision a new dawn

I know which path to lead

In dark times I did so wonder

Maybe my mind had the last shout but forever in the back of my mind whenever when there is winter there is doubt

Rocket Night.

Early one November night we watch the rockets fly by so bright

Hey!

I wish that was me up there in a sky of crimson in a sky of light

As I hold a sparkler in my hands thoughts of you come crashing through my mind The stars shine all around we watch the people as they fall and stumble down to the ground Well listen to me

I guess it is time I set myself free You say that I am crazy and only believe in one thing

How I look up and wish I could be like you I tried so hard but there was nothing more I could do So into the night I come out in force

Let me go watch how I shine

I want to run away from old enemies

I will run away from you all

Look at my smile delight at my decline

I point to the sky with my black and silver wand

Do you think I was crazy for wishing such uncertain things?

And into the night

I sparkle and dance

Everyone can see see how they disbelieve

Watch how I tumble catch me if I fall

My heart explodes into such tiny fragment bits

And like a rocket launch in outer space

Look at me

Am I crazy?

Apollo nine smacking Venus in the face

I am a rocket

Five times one lightening boy to strengthen my soul

I am a rocket

It's a cold day it's colder than in winter it's coldest right here in my heart

Yes, I'm going to miss him you know that he has torn my soul apart

I couldn't make you love me and couldn't give you any more

It's a cold day, it's colder than in winter it's coldest right here in my heart since you closed the door

Every time the sun sets I pull warmth towards me

I shed another tear and the lonelier that I get I wish you were still here with me

It's a cold day it's colder than in winter it's coldest right here in my heart

Yes, I'm going to miss him you know that he has torn my soul apart

It's colder than winter

I'm freezing inside my tears won't be bitter even though our love has died
