A Million Parachutes

Like a million parachutes
The snow's coming down
I'll lock up the front door
And turn the lights down
In the glow of the street lights
I see them descend
Like a million parachutes, small men on a mission

[Chorus]
I miss the warmth
And I miss the sun
I miss the ocean
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
That span across the bay
Tonight, it seems like ages ago

Like a million parachutes
the snow still falls
The dogs are asleep now
There's no one to call
I'll put on some records
And wait for the light
Under those million parachutes
Now a blanket of white.

Like a million parachutes
The snow is coming down
I lock up the front door
And turn the lights down
In the glow of the street lights
I see them descent
Like a million parachutes
Small million of missions

I miss the water
And I miss the sight
And I miss the ocean
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
It's been across the bay
Tonight it seem like ages ago

Like a million parachutes
The snow still falls
The dogs are asleep now
There's no one to call
I put on some records
And wait for the light
Of those million parachutes
Now a blanket of white

I miss the water
And I miss the sight
I miss the ocean
I miss everyone
And I miss the bridges
It's been across the bay
Tonight it seem like ages ago

Questions flew
And words were hurled into the air
And when the smoke had cleared
I saw you lying there
I used my words like bullets in a gun
To pick your ego off like skeet flung
In the gallery of fools

Too many words come from my mouth
I wish would remain unsaid
Oh I've had to eat them all and now I must confess

It was a silly thing to say to you
It was a silly thing to say to you I know

We know

Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?

Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.

Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

crickets rhythmically sing
their mournful melodies
a monotone by request
but they fail, they fail
to soothe the mess
hands rhythmically grope
the sheets again for you
and off-rhythm the time slows
to make moments eternal
moments eternal
is this some kind of holy test
to stitch the treadmarks off my chest
to get up walk outside my head
on a holy search for angeltread
the moon within its ball
washes white the darkened wall
with a milky veil of silk
and i see, i see the spirits lilt
now i've lost my fear
so i pray that you come near
with a million sparkly lights
and help me, help me through the night
is this some kind of holy test
to stitch the treadmarks off my chest
to get up walk outside my head
on a holy search for angeltread
the milky prints of spirits near
i pray that they have lost their fear
a million wisps of sparkly light
weaving through the walls
is this some kind of holy test
to stitch the treadmarks off my chest
to get up walk outside my head
on a holy search for angeltread

This is my forty fifth
depressing tune

They're looking
for money as they clean
my artistic womb

And when I give
birth to the child
I must take to flight
'Cause the black in our pocket
won't let us fight
A proper fight
So hey baby
Can you shed some light
on the problem maybe
'Cause we're all tired
and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents
shut down the show
Yes we should like to see a
burning bush type sign
But anything would be fine
We're all told to dance
we never picked the tune

Hanging like puppets
they feed us from bent steel spoon
But we're sealing our lips
for the someday
when the needle
And the violet
l was songs of the pain
Songs that explain
All our circles and strains
So hey baby
Can you shed some light
on the problem maybe
'Cause we're all crying
and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents
shut down the show
Yes we should like to see a
burning bush type sign
But anything would be fine

We're all dying
and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents
shut down the show
Yes we should like to see a
burning bush type sign
And we should like to
see you pack your tents
shut down your show
And we should like to see a
burning bush type sign
But anything would be fine
Oh anything would be fine

This is my forty-fifth depressing tune.
They're looking for money as they clean my artistic womb.
And when I give birth to the child I must take to flight,
'Cause the black in our pocket won't let us fight a proper fight.
So hey baby, can you shed some light on the problem maybe?
'Cause we're all tired and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show.
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign.
But anything would be fine.
We're all told to dance but we never picked the tune.
Hanging like puppets they feed us from bent steel spoons.
But we're sealing our lips for the someday when the needle and the vinyl play
All the songs of the pain, songs that explain all our circles and strains.
So hey baby, can you shed some light on the problem maybe?
'Cause we're all crying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show.
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign.
But anything would be fine.
We're all dying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show.
"Yes, we should like to see you pack your tents, shut down your show."
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine. Oh, anything would be fine.

Deep inside the darkest night
Is drinking in the light
From pinholes pricked
Holy needles knicked
In a canopy of white

I'm alone, I'm alone
And I?m beating my soul to make it bleed a drop of hope
Then I?ll drink it up in a golden cup and let it grow inside

And I fear that you've gone away
But you must be somewhere near

The fire fades so the deepest shades
Slowly trickle down the wall
In a room I hide will I come outside
And have some kind of fall
All my words, all my words
They have lost all their worth
Nothing's good enough for anyone
And the look on my face
Leaves a subtle trace of the change
That is to come

it's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
it's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same

is it all inside my head
is it all inside my head
I view the lips
and take my pick
I view my faith
and make the choice
'cause it's nobody else's but mine

but you are in my heart
I can feel you're beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
when I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

so many days within this ways
I need the truth
I need some grace
I need the path
to find my place
I need some truth
I need some grace
the part of you
That's part of me
we'll never die
we'll never leave
and it's nobody else's but mine

you are in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

you'll view the lips
and take your pick
you'll view my faith
and make the choice
'cause it's nobody else's but yours

and your in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name

'cause your in my heart
I can feel your beat
and you move my mind
from behind the wheel
and I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name

Hark how the bells,
Sweet silver bells,
All seem to say,
Throw cares away

Christmas is here,
Bringing good cheer,
To young and old,
Meek and the bold,

Oh how they pound,
Raising the sound,
O'er hill and dale,
Telling their tale,

Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send ,
On without end,
Their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong

when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you

when the streets are too hot
when the streets are too hot
I will carry you
I will carry you

Chorus
I will carry you
I will carry you
when the water's too high
I will carry you

[ Instrumental-Bridge ]

when the night is too black
when the night is too black
I will carry you
I will carry you

when the water's too high
when the water's too high
I will carry you
I will carry you

- Chorus -

They can have their trimmed up tree,
Dressing up on Christmas Eve.
There's so many other things
We'd rather do.

Like makin' angels in the snow,
Playin' records soft and low,
Bundle up and watch the fire grow
Me and you.

Though we've time to spare
Without a care.
We don't need nothin' new.
Some mistletoe, a lover's glow
And a table dressed for two.
Yeah, I'd rather have Christmas with you.

Shopping days are almost done.
Shoppin' never was much fun.
Without my one and only one
It's all just blue.

But we've time to spare without a care.
We don't need nothin' new.
Some mistletoe, a lover's glow
And a table dressed for two.
Oh, I'd rather have Christmas with you.

Rudolph, Frosty, Christmas lights,
Jingle Bells and Silent Night;
It's always right in front of you.

Yeah, we've time to spare without a care
We don't need nothin' new.
Some mistletoe, a lover's glow
And a table dressed for two.
Oh, I'd rather have Christmas with you.
Yes, I'd rather have Christmas with you.
Ahh, I'd rather have Christmas with you.

I see the wonder setting in
Over where I am going
And where I've been
And by the way when I kneel to pray
It never seems you're there
And I'll admit that I do not try
When it's easier to sit down and cry
I'm so full of doubt
Want to let it out
Let it out all over you
On my circle of error
I go round and round
On my circle of error
I go round and round again
I'm running things into the ground
All the truth I am seeking has not been found
And I am weak
All the words I speak
Bring no passion anymore
And will I try for happiness
In the midst of all this emptiness
All I want is you
If I only knew
How to get up off this floor

These things which I so often wonder
This need to create myself
Frustration forgotten through slumber
It's there when I wake
Defeated before I rise
I'd pull myself out of his mire
If I could collect my strength
Or muster an ounce of desire
Finding the words, and making them mine

Is there somewhere
I could seperate this feeling from memory
Disconnect myself from me?

Desire inside to mistreat you
It pushes words out of my mouth
This cyclical pattern I feed you
The back and forth, and up and down
But still here you are

Behind this veil of pious revelation
I'll close my eyes and look for worth inside
I don't deserve you

Relinquishing hope for the future
I try not to hate it so
But you are a bridge to those memories
I try to forget, if you only knew

Is there somewhere to occupy emotion
A room to keep my rage away from you?
Just tell me when these hopeless days are over
I'll open my eyes and see my new sun rise
I don't deserve this

Dizzy


I'm like Thomas doubting
Fingers routing the scars
Of your wrists and side
Touching flesh will make my mind believe

But I want to be like David
Throwing his clothes to the wind
To dance a jig in my skin
And be re-made by your cleansing again

Chorus:
I give you myself, It's all that I have
Broken and frail, I'm clay in your hands
And I'm spinning unconcealed
Dizzy on this wheel for you, my Love

I'm like Peter crying
Crowing burning my ears
Still you come near
You take my hand
And place in my palm an eternal chance

Chours x2

I'm like Thomas doubting fingers
running the scars Your wrists and side
touching flesh will make my mind believe

I want to be like David throwing his clothes to the wind
to dance a jig, in my skin
to be re-made by your cleansing again

[Chorus]
I gave you myself
it's all that I have
broken and frail
I'm clay in your hands
and spinning I can see all
is it only Israel
for you my love

I want to be like David throwing his clothes to the wind
to dance a jig, in my skin
to be re-made by your cleansing again

[Chorus]

there is freedom within, there is freedom without
try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

I dreamt of something last night in my sleep
I saw you sitting in a room without me
you were smiling and you had a tattoo
I'm me, in a room without you

*I aim my kettle at you ready or not
you're gonna feel my pain, like it or not
you've got your debts to pay and you wanna fly
you're down and out of time

and there is something I wanted to say
a simple rhythm I forgot how to play
I wanna tell you that I've called off the dogs
your mystery is not worth freeing soul

* repeat (x2)

I wanna tell you that I've galled out the doves
your mystery is not worth freeing soul

I dreamt of something last night in my sleep
I saw you sitting in a room without me
you were smiling and you had a tattoo
I'm me, in a room without you

*I aim my kettle at you ready or not
you're gonna feel my pain, like it or not
you've got your debts to pay and you wanna fly
you're down and out of time

and there is something I wanted to say
a simple rhythm I forgot how to play
I wanna tell you that I've called off the dogs
your mystery is not worth freeing soul

* repeat (x2)

I wanna tell you that I've galled out the doves
your mystery is not worth freeing soul

In the middle of my mourning
Sits joy like ahappy child
In the middle of this death
I must cry with life for a while

And death is great
We are in his keep, laughing and whole
When we feel deep in life
He dares weep, deep in our soul

And you are gone
But you are perfect now
And you like to dress
You wear dresses that never fade

And you are gone
(my mother cried she said you?d gone away)
But you are perfect now
(and now a part of me must do the same)
And you like to dress
(but I know I must be thankful)
You wear dresses that never fade
You wear dresses that never fade

In the middle of my mourning
Sits joy like ahappy child
In the middle of this death
I must cry with life for a while

And death is great
We are in his keep, laughing and whole
When we feel deep in life
He dares weep, deep in our soul

And you are gone
But you are perfect now
And you like to dress
You wear dresses that never fade

And you are gone
(my mother cried she said you?d gone away)
But you are perfect now
(and now a part of me must do the same)
And you like to dress
(but I know I must be thankful)
You wear dresses that never fade
You wear dresses that never fade

Drifting away from you
Spinning down to the pinpoint drop of isolation
In a spell
Walking away from the fire
That keeps my heart
From turning ice

Golden feet grace the surface of the sea
Sinking deeper I view them from underneath
Flailing kicking as I head for the deep
I question a hypothetical lead supper
Oh God receive my outstretched hand

Will I inhale the blue
Spinning down upon the glass
A ghost towards realization of a cell
Enclosing the hauntings of a past
That blind the eyes
And rust the heart

So I fell
I need you to take my hand
And keep my heart from ice

You and the moon are a beautiful sight to me.
The stars in your eyes make it really hard to see you.
A night in the sun is all I really want.
You and me with the best of both for once.
Night breaks. My heart could not ache anymore.
Am I that easy to ignore?
You let your song blow right through me.
Your mighty intellect makes you mighty hard to see.
Will there come a time for me to be more to you, more to me?
Night breaks. My heart could not ache anymore.
Am I that easy to ignore

You and the moon are a beautiful sight to me
The stars in your eyes make it really hard to see you.
A night in the sun is all I really want
You and me with the best of both for once

Night breaks
My heard could not ache anymore
Am I that easy to ignore?

You let your song blow right through me.
Your mighty intellect makes you mighty hard to see.
Will there come a time for me to be
more to you, more to me.

Night breaks.
My heart could not ache any more.
Am I that easy to ignore?

eyes wide open all the time
just like a drug store in the city
where she walks the streets at night
time keeps ticking like the ocean through a sip
ever on ever forward in a march

hallelujah
she's one for the money
to for the show time to go
back to life, back to dreams
without tears
she's saving what she killed
she built herself a room
to spin around her womb

she's saying good bye bye, bye
to the world now
she's saying good bye bye, bye

life is heavy of
mistakes have come to call her
always close and dear, never far behind
floating just above the surface
of their brains their nightmares wait
but come again when she wakes

eyes wide open all the time
just like a drug store in the city

Standing in the middle of a forest
Basking in the glorious autumn
Watching the leaves as they change
From green from green to orange yellow and brown
I'm falling down
I'm falling down

My emotions are deceiving me
Blinding my eyes from my nature
Robbing my quiet solitude
Of tranquility of tranquility
I'm falling down
I'm falling down

Oh let these falling leaves cover me
Let me sink into the ground
Never be found

Let me, let me know what makes you happy
And I'll do it over, over and over again

Let me, let me know just how you love me
And we'll spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

I wish to quote from Whitman now
To show the way I feel, I feel about you
Oh about you
Because it's a subtle electric fire you light in me
Every time I see you
So let's dance again in this field of flowers we're in

These lyrics are so frivolous they really have no meaning
But I wrote them for you
And anywhere I would be with you
No matter where, but for now we're here
So let's spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

Let's spin again in this field of flowers we're in

Amber liquid wetting winecups to the stem
Spilling drops to glisten on the earth like little gems
That myself mistook so foolishly when I stopped to steal a drink
Of the liquid amber melting in my eyes, in my hands, and on my
lips

Earthy blankets full of golden lint and thread
I see the children play as I am on my way again
To another place; I'm sorry to say that we
Blurred the picket fence
Still the children play, they wrap themselves in the middle
To sip sunlight and drink innocence

Hey today
Beauty is my healer
Hey today
I'm gonna steal her

I guess you could say
I'm a little afraid
I'm a little afraid
What if you go away
I've seen it before
I've been here before
If I have to love myself
tell me how to love myself
What's there to love about myself
I just want to see
that as a person you want me
as a person you want me
But I'm feeling the pain
of all these bags in the way
and I'm thinking
you're just gonna run away
and I can't catch you
i can get you
i can get you

I guess I would say
that I want you to stay
that I want you to stay
'Cause you
have this strange knack
adds glow to my black
as you chase it all away
And I hope that you can see
I will someday leave these things
I am waiting to be free
But I'm feeling the pain
of all these bags in the way
and I'm thinking
you're just gonna run away
and I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I can't catch you
Oh I want to catch you

But I'm feeling the pain
of all these bags in the way
and I'm thinking
you're just gonna run away
and I can't catch you

I've wrapped myself up
In a universe again
And let the darkness quell
My matchflame confidence
And unwillingly I hide
The lever I must find
To release the deep
The tears withheld inside
But I can't explain
I can't make sense of the
Things I'm saying
The crystal tears
Are sliding down again
Your moonlit cheeks
And soaking silken lips
If this pain is so real
There's a hand that someday must heal
And give us the words
That time steals and won't let us say

I guess you could say
I'm a little afraid
I'm a little afraid
What if you go away
I've seen it before
I've been here before
If I have to love myself
tell me how to love myself
What's there to love about myself
I just wan't to see
that as a person you want me
as a person you want me
But I'm feeling the pain of all
these bags in the way
And I'm thinking you're
just gonna run away
And I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I can't catch you

I guess I would say
that I want you to stay
that I want you to stay
Cause you have this strange knack
Adds a glow to my black
as you chase it all away
And I hope that you can see
I will someday leave these things
I am waiting to be free
But I'm feeling the pain of all
these bags in the way
And I'm thinking you're
just gonna run away
And I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I want to catch you

But I'm feeling the pain of all
these bags in the way
And I'm thinking you're
just gonna run away
And I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I want to catch you
I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I can't catch you
I want to catch you

Leaves are falling,
and something's calling me here.
The state of depression
That I'm walking in, got
the impression that I won't
stay here long
I know I am like this, but
still I don't know what to do.
The sky is darkening, I can
feel it in the air. My heart is sinking.
I know winter's on its way
I know I am like this,
but still I dont know what to do.
I know Iam like this. Oh sister,
show me what to do
I know there's a way to get this
another day
When will I know if there's a way for me?
I want to lie in the sand and have
the sun shine on me.
Is that way too much to ask?

so I'm waiting by a phone
for the blessed ring
like a holy grail
for the fisher king
time is ticking down
like a metronome
rhythm for my brain
and its ceaseless games
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
though my heart beat is a beat that beats so near

so we had a talk last night about the heavy blow
that you dealt in fright you're back against the wall
it was a puzzle piece important to the whole
that I may not find to place within that hole
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
like a puzzle where the pieces lost to me

so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now
but I don't see why you should
and I don't see why you should
no, I don't see why you should

so I drift into the air
like a moth to light
down the boulevard to the coffee shop
in the land of sorrow in the land of wait
my fear is bearing down on this lonely town
I never seem to write them down as good as him
like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in

so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now (love me now)

How you'd laugh when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters
From the sand

You made a vow
That you
Would always be true
But somehow that vow
Meant nothing to you

Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

All the days like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand

How you'd laugh when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters
From the sand

You made a vow
That you
Would always be true
But somehow that vow
Meant nothing to you

Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

All the days like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand

Well I'm staring straight into the face of hell
You're so close and you can't even tell
I'm so wrapped up inside
Because I don't have much to love

Horrified I feel from pits unseen
Falling off my pedestal of plentiful deeds
As it crumbles down on top of me
I contemplate my lack of love

Come and save my soul
Before it's not too late
I'm not afraid to admit
How much I hate myself

All these gongs and cymbals ring inside my head

Well I'm staring straight into the face of hell
You're so close and you can't even tell
I'm so wrapped up inside

As it crumbles down on top of me

Hey I am having a little trouble
Again with myself
Today I would label out of the ordinary
Hey I read
The words to label him
Said he strikes a tune mighty fine
But in living life that's where he finds
Plenty of trouble
Hey I am
A book inside your hands
Will you turn the page and read the line
Where I reach the end and rid my mind
Of all this rubble
Let me out
Of this solitude
I want out
So I can be with you
Let me out
I want to touch you
Don't keep me here
Hey I am
Having a little trouble with myself

History merely repeats itself
Nothing in this world is truly new
The sea churns as it feeds from the river at it's mouth
The wind blows across the land from north to south
The laboring man spends his life getting nowhere

Meaningless
It's all meaningless
All my life and labor is foolish
And now I don't have a reason anymore

Come now be merry drink your drink
Devour your feast don't stop to think
Tomorrow you could be gone far away
So gather ye rosebuds while he may
Tomorrow you could like in a silent grave
Pawing the dust and awaiting the end of time

Fear your God this is all I know

Meaningless
It's all meaningless
All my life and labor is foolish
And now I don't have a reason
A reason to live anymore

you're a painting with symbols deep, a symphony
soft as it shifts from dark beneath
a poem that flows, caressing my skin
in all of these things you reside and I
want you flow from the pen, bow and brush
with paper and string, and canvas touch
with ink in the air, to dust your light?
from morning to the black of night

*this is my call I belong to You
this is my call to sing the melodies of You
this is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else

you're the scent of an unfound bloom, a simple tune
I only write variations to sooth the mood
a drink that will knock me down to the floor
a key that will unlock the door
where I hear a voice sing familiar themes
then beckons me weave notes in between
a bow and a string, a tap and glass
you pour me till the day has passed

*repeat

this is my call I belong to You
this is my call to sing the melodies of You
this is my call I can do nothing else
this is my call I belong to You
this is my call to sing the melodies of You
this is my call I can do nothing else
I can do nothing else

Tonight the lamplight swirls and glistens
Melting itself upon my face
I'm hanging my silhouette near the shoreline
I'm swimming underneath in the noontime

Will I ever know what's wrong with me
Will I ever see your hand again in mine

Tonight the rain is pelting rooftops
There is no fire to melt the cold
I'm straining to hear a human whisper
And I'm painting images on the soft stone

Now I'm drinking alone
Amidst these figures of stone
I'll raise the glass once again
Then lay my head on the pillow

It has gotten to my head. Permeates the path I tread.
But I tread I'm moving on in a new and happy song.
I can sing about the night how my tunnel without light
Led me to the other side where the sky is blue.
It's all I can do to not let them ruin me.
I will not let them ruin me.
I will not let them ruin me again.
There is fire inside the tree. Flames of knowing kissing me.
I have waited long to see a sign from you.
It's all I can do to not let them ruin me.
I will not let them ruin me.
I will not let them ruin me again

Mysteries unfolding quickly before my eyes
In a way I saw the world in one night
Without even leaving
Without even leaving the room

Golden cymbals catching light
The flowing veils of dancers in the night
Put me in a swoon

Beating drums and violins so mystical and freeing
These things that I'm seeing
They're so wonderful

Oh the world is such a big place
And you have redeemed it
You have redeemed it
No reason to be afraid
You have redeemed it
You have redeemed us all

Culture after culture flash before my eyes
The semi closed mind is now evident

Help me to remember this world is yours
You gave your life to bring the wayward back to you
The wayward back to you

O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, O come Thou Dayspring bright
Pour on our souls thy healing light
Dispel the long night's lingering gloom
And pierce the shadows of the tomb

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come Desire of Nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid every strife and quarrel cease
And fill the world with Heaven's peace

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee
Shall come to thee
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

I look out to the fields
where blood is shed upon the ground
I breathe in, breathe out
change the channel, mute the sound
I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head
my stomach reeling at the thought of all those human beings dead

I breathe in, breathe out
I'm going to an interview
about a song, three minutes long
I just mean something to you
especially when your dearest friend
was sent to cover Kosovo
his last assignment brought a bullet
and now he's gone, he's gone

*feels like I'm fiddlin' while Rome is burning down
should I lay my fiddle down, take a rifle from the ground
I need the ghost to breathe a northern gale tonight
'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed

I packed his books up, left the office
went to tell the wife the news
she fell in shock, the baby kicked
and shed a tear inside the womb
I breathe in, I breathe out
soak the ground up with my eyes
I try to say a healing word
when your tongue is paralyzed

El viento de la noche gira en el cielo y canta
El viento de la noche gira en el cielo
(The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
The night wind revolves in the sky.)

Oir la noche inmensa mas inmensa sin ella.
Y el verso cae al alma como al pasto el roc?.
(To hear the immense night still more immense without her.
And the falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.)

Tonight I can write the saddest lines,
The saddest lines about her

Riu, riu, chiu
La guarda ribera
Dios guarde el lobo
De nuestra cordera.

El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisole hazer que no pudiesse pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.

Este qu?es nascido es el gran monarca,
Cristo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hanos redimido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu?era infinito, finito se hizera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.

Muchas profecias lo han profetizado,
Y aun en nuestros dias lo hemos alcancado.
A Dios humanado vemos en el suelo
Y al hombre nel cielo porqu?er le quisiera.

Riu, riu, chiu, etc.

Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando,
Por aqui bolando, haciendo mil sones,
Diziendo a gascones Gloria sea en el cielo,
Y paz en el suelo qu?es Jesus nascieta.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.

Este viene a dar a los muertos vida
Y viene a reparar de todos la caida;
Es la luz del dia aqueste mocuelo;
Este es el cordero que San Juan dixera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Pues que ya tenemos lo que desseamos,
Todos juntos vamos presentes llevemos;
Todos le daremos nuestra voluntad,
Pues a se igualar con el hombre viniera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc

silent night, holy night
all is calm, all is bright
'round yon virgin Mother and Child
holy infant so tender and mild
sleep in heavenly peace
sleep in heavenly peace

silent night, holy night
shepherds quake at the sight
glories stream from heaven afar
heav'nly hosts sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

( Instrumental-Bridge )

Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Chris is born
Hallelujah

My life is plagued
By mistakes broken love
slaps in the face
But I'm trying to care
to dare to embrace your face
Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother for now

I want to find
where the maid in the street
Is pouring her wine
I heard she takes you in
and gives you the words
You need said
If you'll be her brother
She'll kiss you like a sister
she'll even be
your mother for now

Hug him like a brother
Kiss her like a sister
Let it be my mother
Let it be my father
I will be her brother
Kiss her like a sister
Come and be my mother forever

By mistakes, broken love, slaps in the face.

Hug him like a brother.
Kiss her like a sister.
Let it be my mother.
Let it be my father.
I will be her brother.
Kiss her like a sister.
Come and be my mother forever.

Some children see him lily white
The baby Jesus born this night
Some children see him lily white
With tresses soft and fair

Some children see him bronzed and brown
The lord of heav'n to earth come down
Some children see him bronzed and brown
With dark and heavy hair

Some children see him almond-eyed
This savior whom we kneel beside
Some children see him almond-eyed
With skin of yellow hue

Some children see him dark as they

Sweet Mary's son to whom we pray
Some children see him dark as they
And, ah they love him, too

The children in each different place
Will see the baby Jesus' face
Like theirs but bright with heav'nly grace
And filled with holy light

O lay aside each earthly thing
And with thy heart as offering
Come worship now the infant King
't is love that's born tonight

Tell me father are you riding on
The fictional bus up to heaven above?

Do you listen to the angels on the outskirts
Have they persuaded you?
Oh tell me father
Perhaps you have been persuaded before
I just want to know where your body and soul
Roam tonight

But I know I'll never know
Until I pass away to the next life
I know I'll never know
Where your soul roams tonight
Until I reach the afterlife

Kneeling in this church of stone
On this pew reading my prayer book
"We commend to your Lord
All the souls who have died."
As you walk in the garden
Is the grass broken glass on your feet?
I want to believe when I think how I wasted my chance

And mother I pray
That it would happen someday
we would find you
Where we're going

Big time bright lights
The world is looking for someone to show them the daylight
But it's not me I am not the one
For simple love look to the son

Spotlight get me out of this spotlight
It looked okay but somehow it doesn't feel right
A lifelong dream now reality
I never thought that it could happen to me

Big time high life
Shattered hopes and disillusioned insight
He can give it to you and he can take it away
Just as sure as the morning is the start of day

Sometimes in your life
The world is going to put you under the spotlight
It's easy to follow not hard to pursue
You won't know that it happened to you

you are the burning
the flame that is turning
my smoldering ash into a bird
so stay close my brother
I couldn't stand the loss
you are the bridge of action
I need you to help me cross
I need you to help me

*so when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me

my hand that is breaking
is the hand that is making
all the dead things in me grow
a gift of a holy loss
this burning at the dross

*repeat

why do you set out to break the one thing
the one thing I have to give
its hard to believe that I could,
that I should begin again
but I know your heart is a hand

so when I break your arms
you'll take hold of me
you know my heart is a hand that takes hold of you
so when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me
so when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me

you are the burning
the flame that is turning
my smoldering ash into a bird
so stay close my brother
I couldn't stand the loss
you are the bridge of action
I need you to help me cross
I need you to help me

*so when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me

my hand that is breaking
is the hand that is making
all the dead things in me grow
a gift of a holy loss
this burning at the dross

*repeat

why do you set out to break the one thing
the one thing I have to give
its hard to believe that I could,
that I should begin again
but I know your heart is a hand

so when I break your arms
you'll take hold of me
you know my heart is a hand that takes hold of you
so when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me
so when you break my arms
I'll take hold of you
I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me

do I murder when I forget you from afar
too drunk on the poison of endless roads
and the countless smoky bars

but tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful chord

do I murder us
putting pavement in my veins
shooting in that special heroin
for the seeking and displaced

but tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful chord

but tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful
tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful chord

do I murder when I forget you from afar
too drunk on the poison of endless roads
and the countless smoky bars

but tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note

shooting in that special heroin
for the seeking and displaced

when it is like a passing note
to a beautiful, beautiful
tension is to be loved
when it is like a passing note
