I Miss You

I MISS YOU
I miss you
I miss you
Every time that I awake
I’m dreaming of you
Dreaming of you
In your eyes I’ve seen a light
That glows in my mind,
Glows in my mind
I miss you
I miss you
In your lips I see a taste
I long to smell and feel
Smell and feel
I miss you
I miss you
In your mouth I lose myself
In your flowing hair
I bury my face
Our flesh is real
And when we die
All of our tenderness
Will live on in the sky
Higher than Everest
And into outer space
Long past the milky way
Beyond the human race
I miss you
I miss you
In your arms I’ve felt afloat
I’m drifting with you
Drifting with you
I miss you
I miss you
In your body I am safe
I fly into the sky
Through time
Through time

Long Lonely River
04:43
|
|||
In the middle of summer
When the trees are green all through the night
I can feel a stirring
Like a hummingbird wavering in flight
I've seen a light flowing out out from your eyes
I've seen a light with the power to hypnotise
There's a passion that's poised
And it's ready to spring
From a long lonely river of pain
LONG LONELY RIVER
In the shuddering moonlight
Fiery messages delivered by hand
All the darkened confusion
Of a foreigner in a hazardous land
I've felt the warmth, a magical ring of fire
And I was moved, your breath took me higher and higher
There's a passion that's poised
And it's ready to spring
From a long lonely river of pain
From the first time I saw you
I was shimmering with a strange prophesy
Many years I've been waiting
For you to appear right in front of me
And when at last, we finally came together
I shed my skin in the peril of stormy weather
There's a passion that's poised
And it's ready to spring
From a long lonely river of pain
Now the time has come
I know I've succumbed
And I'm naked now
Feel the light
With a desperate longing I broke free at last from the bonds of the wife
I just had to be with you, it was firmly enscribed in the book of my life
I saw a light a million moons ago
A blinding light can’t tell if it’s friend or foe
There's a passion that's poised
And it's ready to spring
From a long lonely river of pain
There's a passion that's poised
And it's ready to spring
From a long lonely river of pain

Your Lover

YOUR LOVER
I saw your lover on the street today
His head was bowed and he was looking the other way
He’s never met me and it’s strange to think of all the things I know
About his body and his mind
He turned into the supermarket in front of me
I was lured in by a strange curiosity
He browsed through Special K and Weetabix and Cheerios
And I thought
You’re not aware of what I know
Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs
He wore a leather jacket he got from his Uncle Joe
His hair was short he had it cut just a week ago
And by the deli counter
He glanced at me unknowingly
And I had the strangest picture in my mind
Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs
I had to get into the same check-out queue as him
I saw his wallet with a photograph of you in
I left the store and all the way home I was whistling to myself
That life is stranger than a song
Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs
Other people’s lovers, other people’s lives
Other people’s secrets, other people’s lies
And it seems to me
Like every generation carries on
Weaving tangled silver webs

Here It Comes Again

HERE IT COMES AGAIN
It’s a deep feeling I have for you
It’s a keen believing I have in you
When you walk into a room, it’s so nice to see you
When I hear the telephone, it’s so nice to hear you
And even when you’re gone, it’s so nice to think of you
My moods are spinning around
Spiraling up and plummeting down
Oh no here it comes again
Oh no here it comes again
Oh no here it comes again no no no no
Oh no here it comes again no no no no
It’s a strange feeling I have for you
It’s a jaded doubting I have in you
Your indifference really hurts
I’m tumbling into my shell
I feel like throwing in the towel
But only time will tell
I can only give so much
And then I hear that bell
My moods are spinning around
Spiraling up and plummeting down
Oh no here it comes again
Oh no here it comes again
Oh no here it comes again no no no no
Oh no here it comes again no no no no
There’s a deep wounding you make in me
Like a razor cutting away at me
You’re a man and you are scared
Of a woman’s love for you
You keep pushing me away
Afraid that I’ll hurt you
If you’d only let me in
Then you could feel love too
My moods are spinning around
Spiraling up and plummeting down
Oh no here it comes again
Oh no here it comes again
Oh no here it comes again no no no no
Oh no here it comes again no no no no

Touch The Sky

TOUCH THE SKY
The hawks are a-hovering
The windsailers drifting
The moors are a-humming
With the wind and the light
The climbers are slowly ascending
With the rock and the air
And the peak looms beyond us,
Silhouetted by light
And we could almost, almost touch the clouds
And we could almost, almost touch the clouds
The silence is ringing
With the calm all around
The shadows are sailing
With the movement of cloud
The echo of metal a ripple
Like chimes on the wind
The figures are moving
Drawing us in
And we could almost, almost touch the sky
And we could almost, almost touch the sky
The summer is fading
In front of our eyes
The sunlight is changing
With a chill in the air
The climbers are slowly ascending
With the rock and the air
And the peak looms beyond us
Silhouetted by light
And we could almost, almost touch the sky
And we could almost, almost touch the sky

Blind Woman

BLIND WOMAN
On a cloudy cloudy morning, I’m so empty and bereft
I’ve bashed my head against a wall (for so long)
Now I feel there’s nothing left.
It’s not a rational decision, it’s just the place we ended up
I cannot hide my feelings (any more)
I don’t want to feel this way
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
And the loving feelings linger, you’re the nicest man I know
And you know it’s not your fault at all, I’ve just discovered I’m alive
I know you want to try again dear, but everything stays the same
We’re not around for very long (in this world), the time has come to make a change
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
If I’m right or if I’m wrong the fact is we don’t get along
Let’s call it a day and start to live again
Every time I see the light, when the dawn shines through the night
I’m bubbling up because I’m free again
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
Seeing all your sorry teardrops, makes my body reel with pain
I’m clouded over and confused now, maybe we should try again
Holy mercy holy cow, what do we what do we what do we do now
Holy mackerel holy smoke what a way what a way what a way to go
You’re the sunshine in my eyes, what if one day the sun don’t shine
How will I find my way through life if I’m a blind woman
Maybe I’m a blind woman
Everybody tells me I’m a blind woman
You’ll regret it someday blind woman
I suspect I suspect I’m a blind woman
But I know but I know I’m not a blind woman
Everybody tells me I’m a blind woman
You’ll regret it someday blind woman
But I know but I know I’m not a blind woman

WOMEN GO FLYING WITH THEIR MINDS
Yesterday, I sat on my own with pictures in my mind
Tried to let all my thoughts and fears unwind
Tried to come clean at least to me
Troubled times, nothing is clear and nothing gets resolved
All of our words are nothing to behold
Nothing we say can change things now
So fly through the sky, fly back through time
If you find a way, tell me, if you want to say, tell me tell me,
If you see the day, tell me why-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It’s not logical but intellect’s secondary anyway
I’ll go with my intuition any day
‘Cause women go flying with their minds
Why heavens above do men shy away from love
Why men hide away from the truth that women say
By the way it’s quite stimulating just to theorise
Try to peel layers from our dimming eyes
The biggest deception’s to ourselves
So fly through the sky, fly back through time
If you find a way, tell me, if you want to say, tell me tell me,
If you see the day, tell me why-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
