I saw the eagles on your eyelids fly away And are the devils in your suitcase here to stay? I was alone when I met you and I'm alone now that you have gone away I saw strange elements were creeping through your dreams And are the pages of your notebook filled with leaves? I was alone when I met you and I'm alone now that you have gone away
2.
And what is fear? Well it's time Don't let it break your heart And what is fate? Well it's time Don't we all fall apart? And I was on the way, I was on the way To find myself an easier path And I was on the way, I was on the way And what of love? This time Don't lose it in the dark And what of tears? This time They fall on every spark And I was on the way, I was on the way To find myself an easier path And I was on the way, I was on the way
3.
Well the wind in the trees from the westerly breeze brought sadness And the moon at the gate where the souls separate shone sadness Would you believe it, if I said? Well the blistering seas made a devil of me such sadness And the stories you told made my body grow cold such sadness Would you believe it, if I said?
4.
Those people left you lying there right in the lions' den They martyred you then bartered until there was nothing left Light a candle for them when you go to bed You can hate the ones who hurt you when you're dead Your argument though elegant soon fell upon deaf ears They shut you out then fell about your laughter turned to tears Light a candle for them when you go to bed You can hate the ones who hurt you when you're dead
5.
Blue is the colour you said for picking away at the threads That once in your life when you cut like a knife We all should have noticed it then And all that you are x4 Gets carried away x4
6.
Far under the ocean deep under the sand Hiding from the dragons on the islands of Japan Written on the cloud banks scattered by the wind I was in the audience when Lincoln sprouted wings And you see that I believe in dreams But I don't know what this one means Summer brings the autumn, autumn starts to freeze A cylclone's a catastrophe a breeze is just a wind And winter is a devil bringing in the spring A hurricane may have an eye but it can't see a thing And you see that I believe in dreams But I don't know what this one means

Oh Bury Me 03:52
I walked a while until I saw the colour of the dawn You slept a long time in the car and didn't see at all I'll go to sleep where rainbows creep into the dusty hall The piano sings until it brings some peace unto us all Oh bury me where I once roamed Wrapped up in amber Under snow I sat a while until I saw the things I saw before You staggered clear and did not fear the knocking on the door Well let them wait and until they wake and see the sun once more Oh bury me where I once roamed Wrapped up in amber Under snow
8.
Forward the years, twisting the gears It seems like all of us are dead in here Catapult clear, free from all fear Into some edifice miles from here And do you mind it They had a house, a dog to look out For all the burglars skulking about Five equals five, heavens alive It seems so obvious time after time And do you mind it I saw the note that you left at the top of the stair It read like a dream an escape from the stifling air
9.
Please don't let me down When the colours fade In the deepest night Where the shadows graze I saw the light but it didn't seem quite right And now it's fading dear
10.
I Know 04:59
I know that the water around me is pulling me under And it shows that I'll have to swim if I want to wash up on the shore Sundays turn into Mondays and Mondays turn into them all And I know that a lung full of water is nothing compared to what I, Saw this morning Sunshine just brings me the end of the day Saw this morning Sleeps gonna collect me and take me away I know that the eyes in my head will be burning to ashes so I'll go and leave before everything crashes and falls to the floor And someday I'll look and see that this whole mess meant nothing at all And I know that a lung full of water is nothing compared to what I, Saw this morning Sunshine just brings me the end of the day Saw this morning Sleeps gonna collect me and take me away
11.
Happy as a lamb you see now everybody knows Now I'm like an island lying out there on my own Spend time with small crustaceans Watching tidal fluctuations I'm so glad now everybody knows I walk out with my head high now everybody knows Stepping over mountainsides through pyroclastic flows We don't talk for hours and hours When October turns to showers We will always be the last ones home Will you be happy now Will you be happy now our life seems so much faster Happy as a captain when the wind begins to blow Happy as an icicle caught sleeping in the snow On a Sunday let's repent I might give you up for lent I'm so glad now everybody knows Will you be happy now Will you be happy now our life seems so much faster

Seven Hours 03:14
Seven hours ago Seven hours ago Was it even real Only you could know Seven days ago Seven days ago Was it even real Only you could know
