Darkness Fell

...and so he woke up from a dream
That was beautiful starry and so wild
It was all still clear in his eyes
And though his mind was foggy
And blank he wondered why
His life couldn't be as lovely
it was time...
There was this queen she had no castle or throne
But her horse was great and white
She rode alone and liked it that way
But when she met him she swore
She would never leave his side...
They rode across the land
Two lovers hand in hand
And no danger could come near
And when something made him sad
He'd look at her teary eyed
And she would make him feel better
Oh so much better so much better than before
And now this forest was their home
It was a night time
And the right time for love
In the dark
He placed her hand upon her chest
And all the rest just flowed
Makin' love down under an ancient far away night
It was so grand just holdin' someone's hand
And now safety came naturally
It was so clear that he would never
ever have to fear
Oh tell me a story of magic and spiralling ships
And stars in the night
Just whisper in my ears
Make it soft but make it clear
I want to hear every breath you say
He placed his hand upon her breast
But he woke up from the land
Tears falling in his hands
As he looked up askin' why
He laid back in his bed
Thoughts raising in his head
Why can't my life be beautiful he said
As he closed his eyes again
Just prayin' she'd return
But only Darkness Fell upon him...

Love And Hate Collide

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
Instead of slammin' down the phone, girl
For the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall
But I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand, baby
United we fall

Got the time, got the chance, gonna make it
Got your hands on my heart, gonna take it
All I know, I can't fight this flame

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
'Cos I'm crazy 'bout you, baby
Time after time

Without you - one night alone
Is like a year without you, baby
Do you have a heart of stone?
Without you - can't stop the hurt inside
When love & hate collide

I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fightin' for
When we treat each other, baby
Like an act of war
I could tell a million lies
And it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger
Hits you right between the eyes

There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know, got to win this time

Without you - one night alone
Is like a year without baby
Do you have a heart of stone?
Without you - can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

You could have a change of heart
If you would only change your mind
'Cos I'm crazy 'bout you, baby
Crazy, crazy

Without you - one night alone
Is like a year without baby
Do you have a heart of stone?
Without you - one night alone
Is like a year without you, baby
If you have a heart at all
Without you - can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

Bernstein - Insane for your love.

You made me fall in love with you, the dance of love takes two. Somehow the music stopped, I tried to put the pieces together, and I got a grip on my life. They say there's one born every minute who has all for a lifetime. But what good is a lifetime if I can't be with you, I just wanna hold you, just wanna touch you, just let me love you. When I see your face, my heart cries out for you. I guess that fools never learn how to fall out of love. I do admit I really miss you, there are some things time cannot change. And I would be a liar Amber, if I told you I didn't care, 'coz it makes a difference, when you're not there.

No Woman No Cry

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you can't forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which I'll share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So I've got to push on through.
But while I'm gone, I mean:
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

Can’t Stop Loving You

There’s a time and place for everything, for everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothin’s gonna come
Oh no, nothin’s gonna change
And if I asked you not to try
Oh could you let it be
I wanna hold you and say
We can’t throw this all away
Tell me you won’t go, you won’t go
Do you have to hear me say

I can’t stop lovin’ you
And no matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can’t stop loving you

You change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind, we can change the way we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but I think you’ll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, I’ll be there, yeah

Hold on
I’m holding on
Baby, just come on, come on, cdome on
I just wanna hear you say

I can’t stop lovin’ you
And no matter what you say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can’t stop lovin’ you

Oh, I’m so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender

And when it’s over
I know how it’s gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away

And I can’t stop lovin’ you
No matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I can’t stop lovin’ you

And I know what I got to do
Hey ray, what you said is true
I can’t stop lovin’ you, oh
Oh, I can’t stop lovin’ you

One Last Cry

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands, standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I’m down to my last cry

I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone, wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you, nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on and on
And on.....

I’m gonna dry my eyes
Right after I had my
One last cry

One last cry, before I leave it all behind
I’ve gotta put you outta my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I’m down
To my last cry...

In My Dream

I've been out walking for hours.
I've got something on my mind.
How did we get here? Where are we going?
And why is life so hard?

I read the stories, see the photographs.
Worlds in a crazy space.
I've got to hold on to my dreams;
There's just no other place.

I believe
We can change anything.
I believe
We can rise above this.
I believe
Theres a reason for everything.
I believe
In my dream.

I've seen the shadows of the living.
Seen them turn and walk away.
And I keep searching for the right words
To send these thoughts away.

Theres a picture I like to look at,
A picture of a beautiful face.
And I see something in her eyes,
Sends me to a better place.

Home Sweet Home

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long & winding road

I'm on my way
Well I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together
At the seams

Been Thinking About You

Been thinking about you
Your records a hit
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better

All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?

I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there

Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When I'm not there.

I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't you're friends
They pay to kiss your feet
But they don't know what I know
What do you care?
When I'm not there.

All the things you've got
That you'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I'd bleed to please you
honey

Been thinking about you

Drag The Waters

A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouth
Of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns
And the rape, it should all be o.k.
Your father is rich, hes the judge, hes the man,
Hes the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows what
He'd find if he looked a little deeper in you - in you

Drag the waters some more
Like never before

Sweet is the slice and the lips - you're gonna have
That woman - she is your favorite lay
Promised you (swore) that no one had been there,
And she was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
Your money went and so did your friends
But shes by your side, and her smile cannot hide
The premonition of the beckoning end - the end

Nothing's The Same

Lost again and all alone
Lost again for I should have known
So many scars, so many times I've died
Another good-bye

Crash and burn
Refused to learn
Your only friend inside the scars that never mend
This trips inside the dark
The never ending rain
Kill the past
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

All the faces I once knew now are gone
Days turn into years rolling on
So many storms
So many times I have died
Another good-bye

Loser

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
Im a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
cuz ones got a weasel and the others got a flag
Ones on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and its hangin' from a pigeon wing
You cant write if you cant relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
Thats chokin' on the splinters

Keep Away

Sickness spillin' thru your eyes.
Cravin' everything that you thought was alive.
Stab me in the heart again.
Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?

Do like I told you,
Stay away from me.
Never misunderstand me,
Keep away from me.

Twisting everything around that, you say...yeah!.
Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day.
Rag me, I don't hear you anymore, not yet.
Find out what it means to me, I don't know who you are

Draggin' on so lonely,
Aren't you tired, baby? yeah.
Breathing life into your lungs,
Are you immune to me?

Keep away from me...
Never misunderstand me...
