Fear


That was me and now I am,
A wasted thorn,
silently thrown.
There was me and there I was
Walking
In the dawn,

Where was I, Oh where I am
In a tunnel
underground.
Who was I, now who I am
I've forgotten.

There was once a time forlorn,
A time when there was beauty around.
There is now more than love.

No heart to feel, but for fear alone.

Transit



There's an enormous ego
Bloating inside my brain.
Blotting the blind side
Trying to keep me sane.

Laughing with laughter
And watching the morning rain.
The moon, the stars,
The Sun, the planets all mislaid.

Always the same pictures
Crowding my mind and heart.
Every step taken
Feels like a fresh start.

Sing another song



Sing another song.
Oh, you little dreamer
Sing another song.

Sing another lie
To make the sun
In an other world shine.

Sing a little high,
Oh dreamer! Sing a little high.
If I dare to ever call you swine
Or condemn you to die.

Sing with all your heart,
Oh dreamer! with your every breath and beat.
If you ever let me win,
Then I'll be the one to weep!

Summer and/or Winter



If it rained it would be
So clear and grey.
And the trees would sway and swirl
On a sunlit day.

If you were here then we could sing
Soft and sweet and sober green.
And glide across this moonlit river
When the night falls on this summer's eve.


Yes I can't think right now.
I've forgotten how to write.
If I do remember, I may.
But I won't know what is right.

I don't know if its night
Or in the night, wolf's do prey.
But, if I had to see the stars,
Then I would've to wait another day.

To wait for another morning
Is just such a pain.
Sleeping on a bitter back
In the winter chill and rain.

Oh, oh so sweet the thunder,
I wish it would sound again.
Drive away the winter sorrow,
Longing and disdain.

Without your smile

I try to sleep with your smile etched in my memory deep and I
Remember your warmth, your voice, your laugh.
Oh, how can i sleep without your smile.
Your warmth, your voice, your laugh. But here I lie.
Dreaming you are nigh, while you are farther than the sky.
