> Got woken in the night
By a mystic golden light My head soaked in river water I had been dressed in a coat of armor They called a horse out of the woodland ""Take her there through the desert shores."" They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back Now."" The smell of redwood giants The banquet for the shadows Horse and I, we're dancers in the dark Came upon the headdress It was gilded, dark and golden The children sang I was so afraid I took it to my head and prayed They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."" They sang to me, ""This is yours to wear. You're the chosen one, there's no turning back."" There is no turning back There is no turn There is no turning back There is no turn There is no turning back There is no turn |

The trophy that I made for us
In fur and gold Got into the wrong pair of hands And truth was sold They bought it for, oh, so much less Then it was worth And every man that touched it Found a heaven on earth Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms The queens and the court jesters Clapped, adored Their hearts swelled to overdrive And mercy soared Mercy this and mercy that Let justice prevail But I just want my trophy back It's not for sale Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free When I got my trophy back It took some time To polish it to gold from black And shoot the lion When I put it back inside And locked the door Our trophy of mercy Is a trophy no more Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Heaven is a feeling I get in your arms Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free Creatures of mercy, shoot, shoot Shoot them down and set me free |

Community saw the best in me
Exchanging the common heart for salt in the sea Children of the sun on a highway of hope Beauty of coming together in sorrow Tahiti, we don't got no name Tahiti, we don't got no home Tahiti, we don't got no money Tahiti, we don't got no honey But we do the dishes And we make the bread We are powdered ashes In the light of the beauty, he said Wear those dark glasses To help us see Hot tears rolling down And our arms are knitted all around you Creatures of the night On a highway of hope The beauty that we'll leave Each other tomorrow Tahiti, we don't got no name Tahiti, we don't got no home Tahiti, we don't got no money Tahiti, we don't got no honey |

> We walked arm in arm
But I didn't feel his touch A desire I'd first tried to hide That tingling inside was gone And when he asked me Do you still love me? I had to look away I didn't want to tell him That my heart grows colder with each day When you love someone But the thrill is gone And your kisses at night Are replaced with tears And when your dreams are wrong A train to train wreck town Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do? He said he'd take me away That we'd work things out And I didn't want to tell him But it was then I had to say Over the times we've shared It's all blackened out And my bat lightning heart Wants to fly away When you love someone But the thrill is gone And your kisses at night Are replaced with tears And when your dreams are on A train to train wreck town Then I ask you now, what's a girl to do? What's a girl to do? What's a girl to do? What's a girl to do? |

I don't like the things you don't say
Leaving it for such a long long time Why do you show me those sad sad eyes Each time you decide to pass on by And when you smile those sad eyes Look sadder and sadder still Autumn's hue in those sad eyes Makes me love and love them more I'll have a bath, I'll make the dinner And then I'll go wait for a long long time But still you've not passed my door And when you smile those sad eyes Look sadder and sadder still I can tell that you're lonely But it seems now There's nothing you want me to do So I won't try to take the sadness From those eyes that I love Leave it open for someone else to And when you smile those sad eyes Look sadder and sadder still Trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night Trying to hold it together Keep my love as light as a feather Sad eyes baby it's been such a long time Keep my heart breaking in the dark Come and spend the night Sad eyes, sad eyes, sad eyes... |

I saw a light
I saw a light Coming through the trees I saw a light Coming through the trees Freshly cut lawns And little children sleepwalking I saw a light I saw a light Shining on a car And a couple inside Had committed suicide Death in your arms Death in your arms I saw a light I saw a light Coming through the trees And I packed my things After I saw the light I packed my thing The light gave me life And helped me see more clearly And the children went to sleep And the car was towed away And the leaves were rustling As the night turned to day I saw a light Getting smaller in the distance And I said goodbye |

Went over the sea
What did I find? A thousand crystal towers A hundred emerald cities And the hand of the watchman In the night sky Points to my beloved A knight in crystal armor And I tried to hold him I tried for the creed I'll make a suit of colors To stop the blinding mirrors Sew a cape of red and gold Stifle up the being With the perfect armor With a perfect dream To be made of glass When two suns are shining The battle becomes blinding To be made of glass But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride And with two suns spinning At two different speeds Was born a hot, white diamond Burning through the rainbow Flames fell into orbit To hold eternally Two heavenly spirits That just wouldn't seem To be made of glass When two suns are shining The battle becomes blinding To be made of glass But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride Hey, oh Hey oh oh oh Hey, oh Hey oh oh oh Hey, oh Hey oh oh oh |

You know my darling I can't stand to sleep alone
No sweetheart in the dark to call my own You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can grow But the darkness is a stranger in our lonely, lonely, lonely lone Last night's parties and last night's heart has shown Smiling and welling and kissing all I know Give my soul, give my soul, sing it free across the sea Lonely spell to conjure you, but conjure hell is all I do Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream They say for every heart high there must be a low, low, low, low, low And every sun ascending a lonesome moon will grow, grow, grow, grow Drive my heart, drive my heart, into the fire of a burning heart's desire The only spells you'll be seeing, do you hear me coming in my blue dream Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream |

Lover when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress for a husband lost at sea If I had you here, we were here together I'd be boy and you'd be girl, beautiful Calling moon and moon Shoot that big bad hand It'll drag me to your door Now I won't see you no more When this wild world is a big bad hand Pushing me on my back do you understand When I get home being in the jungle Where's my bear to lick me clean Feed my soul milk and honey Calling moon and moon Shoot that big bad hand It'll drag me to your door Now I won't see you no more I won't see you no more |

Daniel when I first saw you
I knew that you had a flame in your heart And under our blue skies Marble movie skies I found a home in your eyes We'll never be apart And when the fires came The smell of cinders and rain Perfumed almost everything We laughed and laughed and laughed And in the golden blue Crying took me to the darkest place And you have set fire to my heart When I run in the dark, Daniel To a place that's vast, Daniel Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel, I dream of home But in a goodbye bed With my arms around your neck Into our love the tears crept Just catch in the eye of the storm And as my heart ran round My dreams pulled me from the ground Forever to search for the flame For home again, for home again When I run in the dark, Daniel To a place that's vast, Daniel Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel, I dream of home When I run in the dark, Daniel To a place that's vast, Daniel Under a sheet of rain in my heart Daniel, I dream of home |

Look at this and look at us
We wonder, oh we're wondering Unalike to say we're lost Try my best with needing us Build a ladder to the sky (To the sky) Sit up there and say oh my (Say oh my) Does looking down make a me a queen (Make a me a queen) All the sorrow that I see (That I see) If I ever get back down Find a map that takes me back Through the wounded, through the wars To a time that came before To hover bored into the sun Come back when my time is done A mother for this childless world An arrow of light for every boy and girl Peace of mind Peace of mind Peace of mind |

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go It's not a place I have seen But I'll get there in a blue dream Down an ocean road Past a sign that says good love town Into a darkness where the stars do drown Where the starry me needs to be free And when the battle was done I was promised my sun But with a thousand nights gone To any kingdom I run And when the battle was done I was promised my sun But with a thousand knights gone To any kingdom I run There's a place I must go There's a place I must go For my heart is a child That stumbles lonely for the arms of the wild Hear the desert sigh Sing the city's lulla by The giant iris of the wide blue sky Showing me the way And when the battle was done I was promised my son But with a thousand knights gone To any kingdom I run And when the battle was done I was promised my son But with a thousand knights gone To any kingdom I run You know that it's time to go up up up up up Had a big machine riding your your shoulders You know that it's time to go up up up up up Had a big machine riding your shoulders You know that it's time to go up up up up up Had a big machine riding your shoulders And when the battle was done I was promised my son But with a thousand blue sky To any kingdom I run And when the battle was done I was promised my son But with a thousand blue sky To any kingdom I run And when the battle was done I was promised my son |

In the night time we are found
Misty sorrow swoop unbound Whisper you mean it, say you'll stay Hold my heart till brighter days Now I am searching how to get alone This queen of heart's dancing on her throne But I need sorrow, baby, life's sorrow is the drug So will I ever find that place they call good love? Good love Passed it last night in a dream Good love And my heart caught fire I drove past true love once, in a dream Like a house that caught fire, it burned and flamed Then the magician disappeared as quickly as he came And with a sound like white magic caught in a black car's blazing trail The house set fire to my heart Like an inferno we shone rays I swallowed the sun in your form I woke up and you were crying I woke up and you were saying Good love Passed it last night in a dream Good love Cause my heart caught fire Good love Passed it last night in a dream Good love Cause my heart caught fire |

Show me moonlight on the sunrise
I've seen so many planets dancing I've seen too many people hiding Show me sunset and I won't forget That I am one of two planets dancing I am part of two planets dancing Shallow men, sign your name on my sun The song of Solomon died in a battleground The song of Solomon died in love's battleground I am far shattered by these sinning times For all your suffering by night ? Life is so much dark and light Day can not exist without a night And you should not separate from me I have a heart that's full of life To be shared on this night Feel my hands, feel my life For the sun and the stars Of my mother and my sisters I know where the form is changing I know that the stars will fall on me |
