@SONG: CHORUS
 
 
Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring
 
Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands
 
And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep
 
Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheating
 
The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...
 
 
 
@SONG: WAITING FOR THE DAY
 
 
It was only for a fight
That I asked you to come in
But you brought me tumblin' down
And the walls came caving in
 
Won't you help me dry my tears
Help me roll away the years
Then perhaps I will forgive you
And the hurt will disappear
 
But in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away
If you'd given me half a chance
I'll be waitin' for the day
 
For the day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me
 
So forget the long goodbye
You never really tried
Threw the keys down on the table
You've got your sense of pride
 
Then you had to tell the world
Your story must be heard
Slammed the door behind you
Without a single word
 
But in a fit of blind arrogance
You stood up and walked away
 
The day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me
Come back to me
You come back to me
 
No I never had a single thought in my head
No I never had a single thought
 
Oh for the day that you come back to me
Come on back to me
You come back to me
Come on back to me
 
You could be my life long friend
You could be the light of dawn
You could keep me close at hand
You could keep me safe and warm
 
I will be your fantasy
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give you all
Waiting for the night to fall
 
You could be the light of day
You could be my life long friend
You could keep me close at hand
Waiting for the day to end
 
I will be your fantasy
If you come and stay with me
I will try to give my all
Waiting for the night to fall
 
 
 
@SONG: JOAN
 
 
Power generation
You live up your life and it feels like fire
Suspended in animation
A trick of the light and it drives you higher
 
Blind vision blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree
 
It's just not within the scheme of things
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To cive up your life so easily, easily (I'll be there)
 
Psychic celebration
Look up in the stars and see venus rising
Rapture, fascination
You live for the night and your own desire
 
Blind vision blind faith
You really can't rely
On what they tell you for effect
 
It's not just within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy, energy
 
 
 
@SONG: BREATH OF LIFE
 
 
Never had a point of view
'Cause my mind was always someone else's mind
 
I never had to tell a lie
'Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did
 
Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breath in it's love
 
Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more
 
I never had to call the tune
'Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
 
I would go out every night
Lookin' for someone to treat me right
Not a chance not a hope in this world
 
 
 
@SONG: AM I RIGHT?
 
 
Wanderin' through the back roads
And the rain comes rushin' down
To resolve your love
For this man in his twenties
 
Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming?
 
Climbing up the backstairs
There's a chill wind in the air
I wrap up from the cold
Pull the blinds in the window
 
Who was there? Was it you? Or am I just dreaming?
 
Look at all the lonely people
Walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral
But I have to play it down
 
Boats along the river
Setting up their sails
And life carries on as normal
Although you're not around
 
Waiting at the bus stop
Laughing off the rain
Shaking their umbrellas
'Till it starts again
 
Flowers in the water
Floating off downstream
Paper in the guitar
Blowing in the breeze
 
Am I right? Am I wrong? Or am I just dreaming?
 
 
 
@SONG: LOVE TO HATE YOU
 
 
Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh!
Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh! Waoh Oh Oh Oh!
 
I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere?
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
 
For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine
 
And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read
How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
 
Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine
 
I like to read murder mystery
I like to know the killer isn't me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine
 
 
 
@SONG: TURNS THE LOVE TO ANGER
 
 
Lest we forget
The speed at which the world is turning
Careering through space and time
On her fatalistic journey
 
It scares me half to death
That we tear ourselves apart
A war of love or religion
Close your eyes to the screaming
 
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession
Turns the love to anger
 
East calling west
Falling onto stony groud
We are lost in our vision
We are primitive and fearless
 
We send our message of confusion
Across the great divide
With our eyes full of wonder
Still the world goes spinning by
 
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession
Turns the love to anger
 
Love is where the dream should lie
It's not for us to reason why
Or to ponder over strategy
 
So come with us and take a ride
Somewhere in the big blue sky
Before it's too late, it's too late, it's too late
 
Hope you find it baby
What you're lookin' for
Doesn't really matter
If you're rich or poor
'Cause you've had your day
Yes you had your day
 
Now are we pleased?
How are we free?
See how this obsession?
Turns the love to anger
 
 
 
@SONG: SIREN SONG
 
 
Ever faithful I endure
To listen for the sound of the siren song
Ragged whispers of imprisoned sisters
Cutting through real life drawing me nearer
 
The colour of the pure in soul
Like water shall fill the cloudless sky
 
Try to feel the splendour of it all
Embrace the honesty of nightfall
Try to feel the anguish of it all
Wrap yourself up
In every facet of emotion
 
Hearts that cry diamond tears
Spirits that walk for a thousand years
Hear them calling on that darkest morning
Pulling me under my thoughts disappear
 
Can you feel love
Can you feel joy
Can you feel pain
 
 
 
@SONG: PERFECT STRANGER
 
 
Hell I gave up my time
For a no good affair
You'd think I'd learned by now
 
To be taken in
By a perfect stranger
Would that I had the know how
 
Still more fool me
For kidding myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same place
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner
 
So long you're no friend of mine
You're false and unkind
You're indestructible
 
No place I'd rather be
Than in the ring with you
We'd go twenty rounds
 
Still more fool me
For killing myself
That's the way it should be
Maybe I should grow up
Would I feel confined to the same space
Or would I feel that I talked myself into a corner
 
I see the sky move above me
But I just can't take control
What a sweet sensation
Woaoh! Ho! Oh!
Ah Ha! Love sweet sweet love
Oh I feel so bad!
 
 
 
@SONG: HOME
 
 
I ain't never going home
'Cause I'm having a good time
I ain't never going home
'Cause my time is come
 
I'll wait for the winter
To lie at my door
White stretches out before me
Leads me to the hall
 
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to its feet
 
I ain't never turning back
'Cause I've come this far
And I'm lost within my tracks
I will follow the north star
 
I'll wait till the springtime
Is breathing at my door
The wilderness before me
Heeds the lions roar
 
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to her hands and her knees
 
I'll wait till the winter
is lying at my door
Time stretches out before me
A stone's throw from the door
 
White circles play within my mind
Ices over and freezes life
Time will come, time will come, time will fall
Bringing the world to its feet
Bringing the world to her hands and her feet
 
Bringing the world to its feet
