Fly Intro
02:02
|
|||
When I look around me
I don't see all that's there
So I close my eyes and wonder
If I can feel your stare
If you can see what I see
Won't you raise my consciousness
If I can be what you are
Take away, remove this blindness
Should I say Hallelujah to the wonder of the skies?
Should I say Hallelujah
Or should I try to fly
Fly

Dying to be Living
04:43
|
|||
Winters can be hard here
Summers are so short
I'm a stranger in a strange land
With nowhere to call home
My world's just a dark room
With no key for the door
The walls around me are closing in
Someone takes the floor, someone takes the floor
And says there's no time for sorrow
The universe is so vast
So pull yourself together now
You're dying to be living in the past
Walking on a tightrope
And I'm closer to the edge
On the brink of a precipice
I look down and see my fate
So back to the retail world
And the wonderland of hard sell
There's no point in this point of sale
You're doing oh so well, you're doing oh so well
There's no time for sorrow
The universe is so vast
So pull yourself together now
You're dying to be living in the past

Trapeze
04:22
|
|||
Times when you remember all
Quick to rise and fast to fall
Times when time stood still and hands held fast
Life clings to life and then
Slow to rise and fall again
Times when you have given all you had
A man holds out his hand to help
Just so many times
But when the net is gone the man will fall
Crash and learn in December rain
Twist and turn, remembering
When you've given all you have to give
And still you'll fly again
A man holds out his hand to help
Just so many times
But when the net is gone the man will fall
Fingers slip away
And then I'll see you fall
And hit the ground

Let the Darkness Fall
04:55
|
|||
I have seen her light
She dressed me like a king
In rooms bathed in gold
Stories lie unsold
My eyes dreamed of rich
But my tears were so poor
Her heart dripped like wax through my soul's open cracks
I look as I see
She'll one day be like me
Then I saw her shade
In my eyes she saw a fade
Like warmth in the night
She fades like candlelight
My heart once was clay
Moulded into love
We're both scattered pieces
Falling from above
I look as I see
She'll one day be like me
The sun won't shine the clouds are mine
The rain is pain and I'm dreaming
Her life is sure, the sky is sore
The sea is deep and I'm screaming
Let the darkness fall
Bring it to it's knees
Let the darkness fall

When She Smiles
06:49
|
|||
When she smiles she's centre stage
When she frowns she acts her age
When she cries she makes me die inside
When she talks it's poetry
When she moves she's majesty
When she sleeps the world's a lonely place
I can't face
You say I'm obsessed
Obsessed with the notion
That I'm in real deep
As deep as the ocean
I swim to the reef, where I can cross over
The water's warm
Ah, floating
All day
When she looks that way at me
Walls fall down, captives free
Oh I can make it happen if I try
Oh how I tried
When life is confused she'll come to the rescue
She'll pack out the news
Says it doesn't affect you
She still got the time to capture the moment
Constant Christmas

I Feel It
03:17
|
|||
You're so cool my beautiful fool
Got a punch like a boxer and a kick like a mule
One word from you and I'm a quivering wreck
I'm in this up to my neck
Dodging bullets on the front line
Making daisy chains from lemon and lime
Heading downtown for the start of the show
Wonder which way the wind blows
Oh yeah, I feel it, I feel it
Taking time at the end of the line
For the trash train coming and I'm making it mine
2 words from you and I'm ready to fall
I'm into this for the long haul
Summer sunshine open space
Freezing water splashing in faces
Stepping onstage in front of the roar
Wonder which road to follow
Oh yeah, I feel it, I feel it
Oh yeah, I'm feeling everything and more

Another Day
03:42
|
|||
If you feel like there's no tomorrow
If you feel you can't carrry on
You've got to find a way
Look for another day
To be strong
I will miss you
This much is true
Another day
Say goodbye to the past now it's done
Look to the future with everyone
You've got to find a way
Come back another day
You've got to hold on
I will miss you
This much is true
Another day
If you feel like there's no tomorrow
If you feel you can't carrry on
You've got to find a way
Look for another day
To be strong
I will miss you
This much is true
Another day

Fly
05:27
|
|||
In those days when you were reaching for me
You know when I was looking the other way
Was it angels with dirty faces
Or was it my demons that dragged me away?
Should I say hallelujah
To the miracle that I see?
Should I say Hallelujah
Or should I slip away?
Fly
Should I say hallelujah
To the miracle of the sky?
Should I say Hallelujah
Or should I try to fly?
Fly...
What of your dreams of flying?
What if they're not dreams at all?
And what of your dreams of dying?
If dying is just a fall
Hallelujah.

Millions
05:19
|
|||
A million miles from the start
A million miles from where I need to be
A million miles form the sun
I can see the end but I've only just begun
A million miles from the stars
A million miles from who I want to be
A million miles from the start
Well I can feel them all but I've always been apart
And I can feel the past like it was here
And all will fade like the water from from these tears
And we are spirits in our own lives
We're just drifting through
Gone before we arrive
A million miles yet to go
A million miles still in my soul

The Rising Tide
04:20
|
|||
So this is real, this is not a dream
The words are nothing new
Ripped torn and balck and blue
And you can see the children crying
You'll see it every day
You'll want to turn away
Scarred in their minds
Burned in their souls
Out of ideas
And out of control
And if we fail to heed the call
The rising tide will breach the walls
It's not too late to change the course
In this sea
Of insanity
Old sins cast the longest shadow
And this is nothing new
It's time to pay our dues
You stand and watch it burn
And turn to barren land
Scarred in their minds
Burned in their souls
Out of ideas
And out of control
And if we fail to heed the call
The rising tide will breach the walls
It's not too late to change the course
In this sea
Of insanity
