well well well well when you don't speak I don't know what to do always my fault I'm weak and wrong and a fool but if you'll give me one more chance if you let me back and let me in I'll clean up my act you'll not look askance oh give me that let me try again but if this is all you can I'll stay out of the sunshine and I'll take my fate like a man won't drink no beer whisky wine but if you'll give me one more chance if you let me back and let me in I'll clean up my act you'll not look askance oh give me that let me try again I'll slog away at staying inside might walk a little but slow and I'll not trouble you but hide and avoid the places we used to go but if you'll give me one more chance if you let me back and let me in I'll clean up my act you'll not look askance oh give me that let me try again so spring is crueler than winter storms and I'm cold in this warm sun and there's nothing but sadness forms like the world ends and I'm done but if you'll give me one more chance if you let me back and let me in I'll clean up my act you'll not look askance oh give me that let me try again please give me that let me try again somethings there's a pull and a shove from within below above and its a sort of slow slow rage that fills you and covers the age all the corners of the four cornered earth and something is born a twisted birth between the dying winter and the coming summer bloom call it sad and call it out a savage doom Like a saint on a tower in the heat of the desert sands she was the fairest of them all going to heavens land the prince could never tell who was lying and cheating his words and his mind conniving all meanings to leave him bent and unknowing where the truth was which way the wind was blowing he had to lay up a fortress and trust nothing and nothing from nothing is what nothing brings Like a saint on a tower in the heat of the desert sands she was the fairest of them all going to heavens land she was tired of the stories and the way things seemed wanted more than her doubts their screams and schemes doubled down and doubled up doubled her money and wouldn't fuck up the one she had who she put all her bets on and she was tested was strong and did no wrong Like a saint on a tower in the heat of the desert sands she was the fairest of them all going to heavens land out of the days came the final sort of test and she told herself there was only falsehood at best in this ones words and deeds and life she smiled a curse and whispered twice words that went further and unearthed the earth she refused all his entreaties and stayed true to the first Like a saint on a tower in the heat of the desert sands she was the fairest of them all going to heavens land yea, she was the fairest of them all going to heavens land saying goodbye or farewell and the night was old and you leaned near the stairwell and your cat was bold and your arms so warm and strong time was passing us by 'so long' I said and walked away another night another day were we made to do this always I'll do this right up to eternity's gate it's not a fad it's not a phase I need you forever and cannot wait time passes time flows who can say where any of it goes the many tangles of everything rising up like a songbird sings who knows when you hear that sound you feel something rise rise from the ground I hear the winter clear and then spring sunlight and the fever love brings were we made to do this always I'll do this right up to eternity's gate it's not a fad it's not a phase I need you forever and cannot wait why not hold on hold on so tight you'll feel the changes the golden light across the door and the window pane listen to your heart to what its saying be by my side and hear my breathing stay and hold me say you'll not be leaving and we'll watch the dawn spread its wings and share the hope such loving brings ahhh were we made to do this always I'll do this right up to eternity's gate it's not a fad it's not a phase I need you forever and cannot wait I watched Elvis on tv one warm spring night and what is it when it seems I knew things from before and then might have forgot and then it comes right out of the blue and you know what you saw was a perfect truth and a perfect day all of it comes back from yesterday ahhh yesterday I might have had the strength to hold you in my arms and give you my kisses might have been so bold to risk the hit and misses yesterday seems so long ago and today well what do I know? great sounds of gold and springtime and birth the roaring of light and water and the universe is dowsed in ethereal things wise men search and search to find what sometimes is dispersed across the great journeys we find ourselves on moving on and moving on until we're gone ahhh yesterday I might have had the strength to hold you in my arms and give you my kisses might have been so bold to risk the hit and misses yesterday seems so long ago and today well what do I know? who knows the sadness of the cock robin or the sorrow of the cooing dove who feels the losses of the great seas sobbing and the heartbreak of those who lose in love who recalls the teardrops of the dew drops ah well these are the things where all sense stops and yesterday I might have had the strength to hold you in my arms and give you my kisses might have been so bold to risk the hit and misses yesterday seems so long ago and today well what do I know? seems like this is the silence of the night and everything is sleeping though far away in the great wild city nothing rests everything's hot and heating but it seems so quiet here and I dream and feel the fear of the lonely who are all alone their cries and groans I saw the wild roses by the roadside I watched the blue sky and the sunshine and its rising heat make a promise or hope to die ahhhh but it seems so quiet here and I dream and feel the fear of the lonely who are all alone their cries and groans the station was a bustling and a hustling people were everywhere all of them doing something or saying what was floating through the air ahh but it seems so quiet here and I dream and feel the fear of the lonely who are all alone their cries and groans nightime is a special sort of paradise I guess it's where we go and dream we dream the dream of wonderlands where everything's good and clean but it seems so quiet here and I dream and feel the fear of the lonely who are all alone their cries and groans call me crazy call me anything you choose water off a ducks back like someone sings the blues and that's a direction and an attitude and place well people might place a mask across their face but I don't care honey I don't care nothing's as it seems that's what we're all told well then is this just a dream but dreams hold truths and the strangeness of life cuts to the quick like a knife like a knife ooooo ahhhhhh and the birds all starting to build their nests and is there anyone who really knows whats best I have thoughts about you that come like clouds and fill my skull and takes me away from these crowds and I don't care honey I don't care nothing's as it seems that's what we're all told well then is this just a dream but dreams hold truths and the strangeness of life cuts to the quick like a knife like a knife ooooo one night you held on to me like you were 'fraid of falling and the stars were shining and the night bird calling and our hearts were side by side and beating and the world spinning round everything fleeting and I cared honey I just cared ahhhh nothing's as it seems that's what we're all told well then is this just a dream but dreams hold truths and the strangeness of life cuts to the quick like a knife like a knife I crossed the city took a train your beauty and sadness your pain that was quiet and hardly seen but in your eyes life was bleeding and your face a study of somewhere somewhere else wishing you were going there knock me down and step up and see I'll always find a way and you and me we'll never say it can't admit it don't even look but it's a passion a direction maybe bad luck ahhh I guess this just this wasn't our time we're like song birds flying you were talking about

had a scene know what I mean went on for some time and then a line was crossed and it ends and time wont mend who is really standing with you what is it you knew the past always reemerging in the time now surging round a bend in the river we're all just a bend in the river so years passed and he married a new girl and he thought his loving heart curled round hers that sort of romance that's lying he's trying far too hard gonna be scarred but after a while he starts to smile when he thinks of the other his earlier lover and he rings her up and tells her stuff like she was more real and made him feel alive how he's deprived who is really standing with you what is it you knew the past always reemerging in the time now surging round a bend in the river we're all just a bend in the river and when he was in bed it was not the one he wed he touched but this old love he clutched and he sent her a text it was all about sex but the old lover found it hard to recover the sense of this and his weird bliss now the first love was annoyed sort of and thrown down and frowned wondered was it true and what to do was this guile she didn't smile so many lives archives, wives who is really standing with you what is it you knew the past always reemerging in the time now surging round a bend in the river we're all just a bend in the river lovers go, they walk but keep talking and keep coming back and that is how we're never content never not bent out of shape by what we escaped first time round what is lost is also found and the head spins all outs and ins never ending nothing really mending ahhh who is really standing with you what is it you knew the past always reemerging in the time now surging round a bend in the river we're all just a bend in the river like a spring chicken chicken

needing a kick start they drank bitter coffee he coughed she touched his arm he felt no alarm but a great great good over him like a flood and they rose together to the daffodils and heather don't call me that be that yackity yak you're so fine with your beer and wine and that dazzling look and your amazing books and the films that teem with you and the whole great erath in view go down and see if you can see you and me babe you and me a flower falls makes a strange sound touches the dreams of the sleeping girl and the dreams lose a little what's found instead is the flower in a crimson swirl below the surface of knowing, below sleeping all things die away and leave us weeping comes spring again like the one last year we'll see all the hopes and all it brings on flowers 's silence up from the ground I love you love you without a sound ahhhhhhhh each love is new and the day is sunny but the nights bring frost and the white moon you feel the lightness and her laughter funny and serious and one day soon you hope to touch her hand and sigh these are the spring shoots the widening sky where comes spring again like the one last year we'll see all the hopes and all it brings on flowers 's silence up from the ground I love you love you without a sound ahhhhhhhhh My eyes are blinded by the daylight the streams through the strange awakened time the murmur of the distant traffic out of sight and the planes flying out to foreign climes pretty spring grass and birds and bees everything buzzing doing what you please as comes spring again like the one last year we'll see all the hopes and all it brings on flowers 's silence up from the ground I love you love you without a sound you don't want to be part of a couple don't want to be tied into knots don't want to be part of any huddle any bubble don't want to be candy floss don't want a boss well I'll be your loving zero count on me to be your absent hero I won't be the one to tie you down I'll stay out of your way but always around whenever you want to talk or something I'll be everything disguised as nothing I won't ask you for the moon I'll be around but won't ask too soon fortune comes to the brave they say well I'm showing my iron and staying away waiting in the pale of the midnight cold staying out of sight and growing old whilst I think of you and your heaven's trap this is my fortune and weird bootstrap I won't be the one to tie you down I'll stay out of your way but always around whenever you want to talk or something I'll be everything disguised as nothing I won't ask you for the moon I'll be around but won't ask too soon Mad march hares and other bright creatures all bred and strong and youthful features rolling round under the whole wide world with gleaming eyes and lusts unfurled in flighty dances and crazy moves I'll be a secret way from all these removed so that I won't be the one to tie you down I'll stay out of your way but always around whenever you want to talk or something I'll be everything disguised as nothing I won't ask you for the moon I'll be around but won't ask too soon yes, I won't ask you for the moon I'll be around but won't ask too soon love you so babe, love you think I might have gone too far might have crossed a line some times you're left wishing on a star other times nothing that fine the dreams that wake you might be the ones that forsake you in the middle of the night in the strange dim light and its a crying shame everything lost all the same we talked for some time about a killer and wondered why his woman wasn't sexier and had to say then she was a thriller her funeral myths didn't want to bury her there was music and wine everything dark and sublime a roaming beast and a thread that was the line between living and dead the dreams that wake you might be the ones that forsake you in the middle of the night in the strange dim light and its a crying shame everything lost all the same but I touched her then and she ran her soul out the wall her skin crawled and I was left in the hall kind of stalled and appalled by it all the dreams that wake you might be the ones that forsake you in the middle of the night in the strange dim light and its a crying shame everything lost all the same do you dream of someone else someone else's face someone else not me and when you look at me who do you see There are hundreds of ghosts crowding out your room they stretch out to the crack of doom and all the tales told are just kinds of seeming and there's no certainty here and hardly any meaning how many people stand behind and within how many come and go are ending beginning does any of this make any sense how thin is the truth how dense There are hundreds of ghosts crowding out your room they stretch out to the crack of doom and all the tales told are just kinds of seeming and there's no certainty here and hardly any meaning does time really move do we ever have a past or is the present just something that lasts forever and forever and never lets us go and with it it everyone comes all we ever know There are hundreds of ghosts crowding out your room they stretch out to the crack of doom and all the tales told are just kinds of seeming and there's no certainty here and hardly any meaning and does a lie become a truth and a truth reverses can we ask and can we listen to the verses from the song of songs and other sighs of love and theft of talking straight and lies? There are hundreds of ghosts crowding out your room they stretch out to the crack of doom and all the tales told are just kinds of seeming and there's no certainty here and hardly any meaning no certainty here and hardly any meaning no certainty here no meaning
