Swore I saw my true reflection In the city lights at midnight Fragments of a life led searching Settle in a mess of colour The hills at dawn with your cool dark daughter Gazing down on the glittering water Got a feeling that your favourite son Mustve known stone loneliness I see the seas horizon Bend and sympathise with the blue sky
Sun burst and shatter Throw your light across the square Be my guide and take me there Back to the one Shadows scatter Place towers at my feet Lead me down through every street Back to the one
Rise and toast the devil in you Feel him catch his stride with angels Chatterin rails and cracklin wires Coast to coast deliver love and war Honey from the bay of plenty Soothes the northern voice of anger Crashin waves neath the flash of storm Trash the skies and it must be love I feel my souls horizons Stretch in sympathy with her smile
Sun burst and shatter Throw your light across the square Be my guide and take me there Back to the one Shadows scatter Place towers at my feet Lead me down through every street Back to the one
Im losing my direction Somethings come between us Its gettin hard to do right Im searchin for a sign Theyve split us into sections Im from mars and your from venus But stranded in the daylight Nothin is defined But as the late summer honey light Shifts and caresses the buildings...
Dark starry eyes Searching the skies Because its hidden from view Dont mean it isnt for you You know were gonna make it Weve only gotta take it Cos its a dark, dark sky Holds the north star high And guides us and bathes us In stillness and sameness and blue
Ive made a big decision In the light of the eternal Im gonna be your mirror And you can mirror me Ill see you in the bright star Cushioned by the dark sky Reflected in the river Flowing to the sea And as the reasons and rumours recede Dyin on the lesseing breeze
Sweet starry eyes Immune to surprise Because its hidden from view Dont mean it isnt for you You know were gonna make it Weve only gotta take it And its a dark, dark sky Holds the north star high And guides us and bathes us In stillness and sameness and blue
And blue is the colour of my heart Since you blew my senses apart The feeling were back at the start never ends As clusters of heavenly jewels Gaze down on earths lonely fools Turnin and twistin Resisting the pull of a fate thats already planned They cant understand
Dark starry eyes Searching the skies Because its hidden from view Dont mean it isnt for you You know were gonna make it Weve only gotta take it Its a dark, dark sky Holds the north star high And guides us and bathes us In stillness and sameness and blue Im placing my faith in the brilliance Of the bright stars and you.
Through the falling snow Through the falling snow Glides the electrical train Bar acacias closed Draw my fingertips Down the mountain stream Trace your body and soul In the window steam Neon city burns harsh and bright In my eyes, Im compromised Hurry me home
Through the falling snow Through the falling snow Flesh and bone, heart and mind To the shore I go Winter wonderland calls to my Heart and Im realised Carry me home
Shes the kinda girl who makes the darkness bright Smiles toward the world and makes it all seem alright Here comes the sea Here comes the ocean
At the end of it all, neath the moons watchful eye, I wanna be judged next to you cos to the beat of my heart, You set a small revolution, No one ever touched me so surely Its a veil drawn aside
And revealed is the real world, And it feels like my world From the ring on your finger So cold on my skin, To the diamond-light stars long ago The river of brightness flows
On the end of the pier, Saw the sun slidin down, On the dyin embers of an empire See their faces appear, Everyone who was ever sold out and laid low, Their voices submerged In the sound of a choir Weve got time on our side...
And revealed is the real world, And it feels like my world From the crystal cold winter, So petrified and numb That the blazing-bright sun overthrows, The river of brightness flows
See, it starts with a glint Of a sparkle in the eyes, And a breath becomes a word becomes a deed And if the deed is done right, The whole worlds set alight, But if you hesitate it goes, And youre damnin up the river Just to figure how it flows, If thats the price of knowin, Maybe I dont wanna know
cos it feels like the real world, And it feels like our world From the ring on your finger, So cold on my skin To the diamond-light stars long ago, The river of brightness flows.
Falling free, unashamed, Couldnt be tied and tamed Lost my wings, drawn to danger, Unforgiven now Im bound, Found and freed, Tethered to hope and need, See my strings, tied to an angel, Made in heaven Freedom calls sea of wonder This could be the first one First enthralls then draws me under Drowning and undone
We will walk the line together, Sense it curving by degrees Its written in air, And nothing can erase it While we talk about the weather A storm is building on the breeze But we wont despair, Well turn around and face it See my strings tied to an angel Made in heaven
Chevrolet over Pontchartrain Blue and grey driving rain became a part of me Search and play once again Naive melody touched the heart of me Brave words in bold relief No time to get old, no belief
Bigger, brighter is how the world looked to me But filled with my face staring straight back through me Bigger, brighter, better and I was sold forever Down no great river just an endless sea
A love supreme, one hell of a team No messy birth or dirty death just the in between Holding tight to what we thought was right But begin to squeeze and love leaves Boy, where you been
Yeah, I was young chewing gum acting like a dumb-dumb All at sea woe is me let's get numb Fast times, high hopes Too whacked to push back the envelope
Bigger, brighter is how the world looked to me But filled with your face staring straight back through me Bigger, brighter, better and I was sold forever Down no great river just an endless sea
You and I sail on stormy waters unaware of what we've got Some say, ";Let it go, ride the tide feel the flow"; I sense bombs below Can't wait to detonate them You and I like a minesweeper
Lover, it's over and we can live more truly See bridges burning over salted water Lover, leave me and bring the world back to me Bigger, brighter, better for your own sweet self
From liberty to green park Wrapped us up in grey And falling leaves and fading tans Remnants of a summer gone. Guess were gonna have to learn to live again In this world Guess were gonna have to learn to live again In this world Whatever goes down May it fall easy on you Autumn flower
Clearing out the old house Illusions of self tumbling from my shelves Memories of what I thought Today would be back then Seems of all the time we spent Making our predictions The only things that ever seemed to make a dent Were prayers without conditions Whatever goes down Pray it falls easy on you See the sky move slow Watch the wind blow

Here she comes now sister in shadow Lights up my day 'til there's no tomorrow Almond eyes set in olive skin, Betray the anger burnin' white within There she goes dumbin' down for them all And speakin' in code when sufferin' is calling When the city's steppin' out to play She cuts a dash in tenement grey Her memory lingers then fades and turns to black Slippin' through my fingers, shiftin' shape and doublin' back
What you gonna do when the bells are ringin' Happiness and joy and the birds are singin' For you sister shadow and it's all so dutiful Where you gonna go when the city is swingin' Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal Sweet, sweet nothings loud and clear, sister shadow
Here she comes now sister of shiva Dark destroyer, holy deceiver I feel her rising as you're drawing near Look in your eyes i see her shadow appear Love is blind, it's a one way twistin' track She's always behind me but there's no turnin' back
What you gonna do when the bells are ringin' Happiness and joy and the birds are singin' For you sister shadow and it's all so dutiful Where you gonna go when the city is swingin' Really reelin' and you're feelin' like it's so unreal Sweet, sweet nothings loud and clear, sister shadow
Have you seen behind the screen That severs life from art? Or do you see the same as me, Completeness come apart? And who am I to qualify The contents of your heart?
Its a simple understanding Of the way you hand it over And hold on to it, too With the lightness of a feather Its the web that ties together What is true
Make it happen Make it happen Create the night anew Its a hymn to the grace Thats found a place in you
Could I look into a book And find the answer there? Or do the angels prearrange An eye for what is rare? And would the prize anaesthetise The ache that makes me share?
Its a simple understanding Of the way you hand it over And hold on to it, too With the lightness of a feather Its the web that ties together What is true
See the others flappin With their fingers snappin Tryin to make it happen, too... Its a hymn to the grace Thats found a place in you.
