WINTERSONG
I’m usually fine in the mornings,
But by the nighttime I’m goin’ insane,
And I cannot find a reason for it,
Except maybe sleep just kills all the pain,
With fields of dreams runnin’ through my mind,
Like wild horses through a dark night sky,
Where all I can see is all that I…can feel,
I can feel…
There’s two little people in my head,
But they don’t get along everyday,
And though I try to sleep in the angel’s bed,
Truth is I’m just running away,
With fields of dreams runnin’ through my mind,
Like wild horses through a dark night sky,
Where all I can see is all that I…can feel,
With fields of dreams runnin’ through my mind,
Like wild horses through a dark night sky,
Where all I can see is all that I…can feel,
I can feel…
The way the light hit your eyes,
I thought I must’ve died,
The way your hair felt so soft,
I thought I’d never be lost,
The way your words were so few,
I thought I’d made it to the moon,
And made it there with…
And made it there with you…
The way your smile hit so deep,
I thought I’d fallen in a dream,
The way your voice rang so true,
I thought I’d made it to the moon,
And made it there with…
And made it there with you…
Shoot me with your words,
Degrade me with your consciousness,
And love me with your fakeness,
Cuz you already killed me with your smile,
Yea you already killed me with your smile,
Your magical powers pierce the sky,
Like firework flowers on the Fourth of July,
But no one’s awake to see it now,
They’re all lying in bed wanting to turn around,
Wanting to turn around,
For clueless love…
Drown me in your silence,
Soothe me with your poison thoughts,
And let me see what you want me to see,
Cuz I’m already blinded like a child,
Yea I’m already blinded like a child,
When I wake up in my sleep,
I’ll do my best to get back in the dream,
But it never seems to work like that,
You end up tossing and turning cuz you can’t go back,
No you can’t go back,
To clueless love…
Just bathe me in your fire,
Just bathe me in your fire,
Just bathe me in your fire,
You God forsaken liar…
All the angels here are homeless,
They beg with signs that scream out loneliness,
And who are we to walk on by,
With our empty diamonds and fake lovers at our sides,
Life’s not about the money,
Or some fancy car that gets you all the honeys,
‘Cause if I had a broken wing,
Would you even take the time to hear me sing?
The buses on the city street,
They’re not moving fast, they’re not moving free,
And even though the buildings may reach the sky,
They just bring back the feeling,
Of watching tears fall from your eyes,
You tell me that I need to get saved,
But I don’t want no excuses for the words on my grave,
I’d rather take my actions upon myself,
Whether it takes me to heaven or sends me to hell,
At least I’ll know I was honest,
When I shake the hand of some angel in the forest,
And I won’t have to dodge his eyes,
When I say,
“Thank you my friend for the love you helped me find.”
Pack it up and take it home,
Don’t give me your love through the telephone,
‘Cause you lose it all,
Through electric lines,
I’m glad you called,
But why don’t you knock next time,
On my door…
Turn out your lights and grab your keys,
Don’t give me your love through the words we speak,
‘Cause you lose what’s right,
When you say it out loud,
With a feeling so high,
Just let your heart pound and pound,
Nothing more…
You’ll find me where the sun meets the sky,
On the horizon line tonight…
When I fall…when I fall for you,
Don’t blame me for the things that I do,
‘Cause I’m not so sure if the dream’s outside,
Or if it lies right here in my mind,
It doesn’t change a thing,
The pain will always stay the same,
But it’s nice to be,
Hand in hand with someone who’s helping you stand,
When I call…when I call your name,
Don’t blame me for the things that I say,
‘Cause I’m not so sure if I’m losing my mind,
Or just following these mixed up signs,
Would you believe me if I told you what I feel?
Would you believe me if I showed you what was real?
Would you believe me if I told you what I feel?
I see the roses that you’ve chosen,
They’re beautiful and warm like wool,
But when will we think like one bright light?
Shining down on this dark, dark, night,
I see the dances that you enchant,
I’m mesmerized by what you hide,
But when will we let out the thunder and rain?
And water the love that we have made,
It is of silence that we retreat,
Into the cracks of past memories,
I see the questions that you’ve abandoned,
They’re as real as the wind when it’s still,
But when will we take back our innocence?
Like kids who see through kaleidoscope lenses,
I see the grave that you have saved,
It’s yours to keep if you’re ready to sleep,
But when will we uproot from complacency?
Cut the ropes and really walk free,
And now I’m floating peacefully above,
Quiet and dripping like rain,
Heavenly like an angel…I know today is the day,
I awake…
8. Road Below ▼
Your head upon my chest,
Is all I really need,
The warmth of your breaths,
Like the gentle sway of God’s gentle sea,
Your hand upon my stomach
Is the touch that lets me see,
The smile upon the sunset,
Rather than the bright red fire that burns beneath,
And I’d let you go,
To the road below,
But you’re the last one that stands,
Between me and alone,
So hold on.
So hold on.
You’re the bird in the window that sings for me,
You’re the rabbit in the meadow that looks so free,
You’re the thought on my mind that keeps me moving,
Through the darkest of nights,
Where rather than win I thrive on losing,
And I’d let you go,
To the road below,
But you’re the last one that stands,
Between me and alone,
So hold on.
So hold on.
I don’t know why,
But your bed’s more comfortable than mine…
Wouldn’t you say?
The sun won’t shine,
If you stand in its way,
And wouldn’t it be?
A waste of time,
If you never try to see,
All the rays that will light your world,
With you or without you now,
And isn’t it strange?
We all want to change,
But we stay the same,
And couldn’t it be?
What makes up the light,
Is in the way you see,
All the rays that will light your world,
With you or without you now,
You will be alright tonight my love,
Don’t blame it on the things you can’t get rid of,
The world is a place we’re thrown into and out of…
THE MAGIC BOX
1. My Angel ▼
I went to where I shouldn’t have gone,
And what I thought was right was wrong,
But sometimes you get up just to fall,
‘Cause you know you didn’t just see what you saw,
I realize…
I can’t really say if I’ll stay or go another way,
I can’t really tell ‘cause if this is heaven what is hell?
My head is singing and my heart is humming,
But I’m not quite sure where this pain is coming from,
My mind is racing and my hands are numbing,
But I can’t seem to put my finger on it,
I realize…
I can’t really say if I’ll stay or go another way,
I can’t really tell ‘cause if this is heaven what is hell?
I want to do for you what you didn’t do for me,
And for this I know you have set me free,
‘Cause I’ve found my angel in you,
Yes I found my angel in you,
Yes I did…
2. Your Voice ▼
I can still see the sky,
Even through these cloudy eyes,
That try to take me down,
From where I’ll fly,
And I can still read the lines,
Though I used too much ink this time,
I wrote you a letter that I hope,
You’ll find…
There’s still some blue in the sky,
There’s still some you in my eyes,
You’ll probably find me around,
Walking the streets of this town,
We’ve been through a lot together,
We’ve seen all types of weather,
I guess I just thought we’d never,
Forget one another,
But you tell me that you’re still right,
That I’ll never quite leave your sight,
But I guess I know you better,
Than you realize,
There’s still some blue in the sky,
There’s still some you in my eyes,
There’s still someone at the door,
There’s still some thoughts of remorse,
I don’t know which way is up,
Or which way is down,
I just know that I’m missing you,
And the sound of your voice,
Has got me all turned around…
Darlin’ won’t you come running my way,
I’ve been waiting ‘round here for long tired days,
’Cause I need you, Oh I need you to stay,
And darlin’ won’t you give me a sign,
I’ve been walking in circles trying to get you off my mind,
‘Cause I need you, Oh I need you tonight,
And I don’t have all the answers to ease all your pain,
But if you follow me home tonight,
I’ll walk you through the rain,
I’ll walk you through the rain,
singing…
la da doh doh, la da doh doh…
I guess it’s alright you went your own way,
But I’m having a hard time doing the same,
There’s a war in my heart I’m trying to fight,
But when you get to the end it’s hard to see the light,
And I don’t have all the answers to ease all your pain,
But if you follow me home tonight,
I’ll walk you through the rain,
I’ll walk you through the rain,
singing…
la da doh doh, la da doh doh…
I don’t know where to turn,
And I’m not so sure I’ll ever learn,
And I don’t know when to smile,
I’ve been walking this road,
For miles and miles and miles and miles…
singing…
la da doh doh, la da doh doh…
When I turn around I hope you’re standing there,
With your feet off the ground and your hands up in the air,
Yeah…
‘Cause honey don’t you know you are my dear,
Yeah you are, yeah you are,
And honey don’t you know I’m standing right here,
Not too far, not too far,
Yeah…
And when I roam the Earth, I hope you’ll be my queen,
So that when I’m feeling hurt, at least I’ll know I’m your king,
Yeah…
‘Cause honey don’t you know you are my dear,
Yeah you are, yeah you are,
And honey don’t you know, I’m standing right here,
In the dark, in the dark,
Yeah…
I’ll always put up a fight for your pretty eyes,
I’ll always hold up the light for your pretty eyes,
For your pretty eyes…
Yeah…
Seems like we all want to lose control,
Seems like we all want to dig our own holes,
But don’t you know, there’s magic in your soul,
Magic in your soul,
You say that you can’t go on without me,
But if you change the way you see things,
You might…set yourself free,
‘Cause don’t you know, there’s magic in your soul,
Magic in your soul,
So don’t let go, if you’re feeling low,
Don’t let go, ‘cause you’re not alone,
Don’t let go,
It’s time to start keeping your eyes on the road,
Your life is a gift now don’t go and sell it short,
‘Cause don’t you know, there’s magic in your soul,
Magic in your soul,
So don’t let go, if you’re feeling low,
Don’t let go, ‘cause you’re not alone,
Don’t let go,
Though I know the world can turn so slow,
But don’t let go…
Gotta love yourself,
Before anyone else will,
Stop saying your life’s like hell,
When it’s your own fault you’re not doing so well,
You keep on saying that you don’t deserve this love,
But if you believe in that,
Then you don’t believe in the sky above…
6. The River ▼
Look me in the eye, tell me it’s alright,
And I’ll go down to the river,
Take me by the hand, show me how to stand,
And I’ll walk myself to the river,
Lend a little spark, to help me start a fire,
That’ll guide me home to the river,
Reach for the sky, never wonder why,
Just follow the clouds, they’ll never lead you down,
They’ll never let you down…
Take me to a place where I can stay awhile,
Take me back home into the wild,
I just want to see you smile…
Love is a game we all like to claim,
As something that we own,
But it’s really just a gift from somewhere up above,
That’s not meant to be explained through words like love,
Reach for the sky, never wonder why,
Just follow the clouds, they’ll never lead you down,
They’ll never let you down…
Take me to a place where I can stay awhile,
Take me back home into the wild,
I just want to see you smile…
I don’t want to get torn apart,
I don’t want to risk losing your heart,
All we need is a spark,
A hidden message from the stars,
As we all get lost in the dark,
Everything I see is much too far,
The edge of you words has left a scar,
All we need is a spark,
A hidden message from the stars,
As we all get lost in the dark,
Can’t you see it was meant to be,
And you look so alive,
I’ve never seen such mystic eyes,
We made a world of stone just to fill it with bones,
And we made a life of dirt just to watch it hurt,
And we made a sky of love just to fill it with lust,
But now it’s gone oooh…
Can’t you see it was meant to be,
And you sound so alive,
I’ve never heard such truthful lies,
Where has all this gone?
Don’t you weep no more,
Your tears weren’t made for the floor,
There’s no fear at your door,
It’s only bad dreams causing this war,
You’ll find the light that you are,
If you fight the night that scarred you,
There’s no reason to mourn,
Your past is already gone,
I know it makes you sore,
But there’s still time to be reborn,
You’ll find the light that you are,
If you fight the night that scarred you,
You’re lookin’ for light in the dark…
You’re lookin’ for light in the dark…
Oh…
You have to know what you are fighting for,
You have to know what you are dying for…
I feel like I’ve lost my best friend,
I feel like I’m looking at the end,
And I’m going down,
Yeah I’m going down,
And I know the sound,
Oh I know the sound,
All too well…
So please,
So please,
Take my hand,
Take my hand,
Don’t you understand,
This was not the plan,
When the sun rises over,
It rises for you,
And when my sky needed color,
Your eyes gave it blue,
But now it’s crashing down,
Yeah it’s crashing down,
And I don’t see you around,
I don’t see you around,
Anywhere…
So please,
So please,
Take my hand,
Take my hand,
Don’t you understand,
This was not the plan,
I want to run,
Into the sun…
ooh…
Into the sun…
I want to run…
10. So High ▼
Tell me to open my eyes,
And I will try to see through the lies,
But don’t you know it’s hard to fly,
When you could die from a fall so high,
So high…
Just take me home,
‘Cause I don’t want to fight this alone,
Just take me home,
‘Cause I don’t want to fight this alone,
Alone…
