Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason Some days things all just seem so wrong Steel-grey sky, golden grass The light before the storm This world of so much right This world of so much wrong Shape things that you can change Nothing need stay the same Cherish the simple joys I trace along a line I search to find a sign The ticking clock, purring...Learn More

In the middle of a room, I see you Shadows come into view from all you do In the shadows of a room, what you do Are colors come into view They're all from you All I know is somehow a reflection of all you've shown me How you see when something's on the verge of nothing, I don't know In the middle of a room I know when the corners darken That the...Learn More

I'm not too tired to play another A tango or a waltz or just A hand of gin Let's play one more together 'Cause the war won't really start, he said 'Til the last ones have arrived So lay out for a drink or two Then play your violin Just put the case down by the door And tell me, what is it we've done? During the war To live and see another That...Learn More

And will you still be there When all that's solid melts into the air? And will you then be free To lift the veil and finally see That all is not calm in the eye of the storm? To see things as they are Is not to see the things that are not The writings on the walls Don't justify the means that you sought And all is not calm in the eye of the...Learn More

The translucent carriages drawing morning in Dawn inside their pockets like a whisper on the wind Every time I see you passing by, I have to wonder why The soft touch of your words has been betrayed like love grown old Or the silhouettes of children crying somewhere in the cold Every time I see you passing by, I have to wonder why The ancient...Learn More

I don't need to worry 'cause I wrote the end myself There's no fame or fortune 'cause love scares them both away And in rows and rows of boxes, they're calling out for more But there's no one in this theater, we're not there, we're gone We stay behind the curtains, paint slogans on the walls We play all the music on our own And no one's there to...Learn More

Washed by floods of feeling In a sooty rain Two innocents remaining After nighttimes of smoke and flame There's a place where we can go Underneath the stones There's a beach I can take you In the civic dawn Down beneath the floodline We'll be on our own And all the things I'd hope to say But can only feel Are in the sound of waves come crashing...Learn More

It won't last forever The feeling will come back again The silence, heat waves were dancing Tattered paper tossed by the wind Oh, let me have a wild, ragged sky Let's live for a while in a season without time The humming of wires Made magic in the slant of the sun Leaf-starred lawns, the pale light on houses Misty blue haze before day's...Learn More

It's so hard being me It's so hard to be free of what you know I want less to show of who I was long ago It's so hard being me It's so hard to be free of who you are and what you've been They both follow you to the end I rush in where fools have been If love's the answer, don't I need a question too? No heart can tie what the fates undo It's so...Learn More

[Verse] On and on, we go In a sailing boat that's full of holes And after some time When the water turns to wine It's your turn to say to me How far can we go? In a sinking ship In a broken world [Verse] It's been so much time Since the water turned to wine again Though we can float so easy Our souls are drowning one by one And after some...Learn More

If you find me in a gloom or catch me in a dream Inside my lonely room, there is no in-between Whispering pines, rising of the tides If only one star shines, that is just enough to get inside I will wait until it all goes round With you in sight, the lost are found Foghorn through the night calling out to sea Protect my only light, for she once...Learn More

A hawk turning softly In the wheel of the sky Dust clouds are rising From the heavy burden Of the sights that she’s seen Cadillac driving Asleep at the wheel Dust clouds are rising Over what is real Heat on the horizon A thousand years down Cloud on a mountain Is just fog in our eyes Hawk on the mountain Still as glass Her eyes are open To time...Learn More
