In The Garden of Time
when the sky is filled with sorrow
it cries and falls the rain.
down below the garden grows
watered by the pain.
and we know the garden is dreaming
when we see its flowers.
down below in earth so cold
souls while away the hours.
How long
i’ve been thinking about some friends of mine
and how long they’ve been dreaming
in the garden of time.
the sound of the howling wind
is the sound of all souls combined
departing this world unloved and lost
at a moment in time.
The gardener plants seeds of light;
an old and gentle man.
all souls on the wind tonight,
will come to rest in the gardens hands.
How long
i’ve been thinking about that girl of mine
How long will she leave me here
in the garden of time.

Keeper of the Dreams
05:55
|

i am the keeper of the dreams
i cast them out at night
to those who see my light
i hear the sounds of breath in sleep
multiplied by millions,
it awakens me
time and time again i bend the moonbeams to you
that’s how i send the dreams to you
it’s a long journey through skies and eyes,
unseen and unknown…
they touch the stars and make them glow,
alpha and beta are the ones i know
they bring you down so deep and low,
where worlds collide and
words take flight from the archers bow
i bring you peace so close to death,
the morning light is the army charging from the east,
always victorious…
it lays your dreams to rest
here i dwell in castles of rhyme
my blood does flow but no heart is mine
your oceans are filled from the tears i’ve cried
though the centuries pass i shall never die
gaze at the sky and cry for me
from here above i will see
and send you peace so close to death
limitless love from on high
the keeper of the dreams shall never die

Ruby Slippers

Watching the news from your rocking chair world
you don’t recognize the face of the girl
who climbed up the church and hangs from the steeple
in view of the town and all its good people.
As her ruby slippers gleam in the sun.
The Wizard Of Oz says, “Her dream has just begun.”
Thinking all hope is lost and gone with the wind
you stand on your chair… slide a rope passed your grin…
and outside your window the thunder begins.
The rain at first silent, now a terrible din
is the sound of all souls swept away by the storming
of life’s little habit to change without warning
Take what you learn from “The Sound Of Music”
keep it in your heart and don’t ever lose it.
Our lives, like the days, come and they go…
and think what you will but we don’t really know…
after the breathing, after this show
is there another movie… where no one grows old?
Every sunrise, come daylight, your eyes and your blinds close.

Rabbits

“Rabbits”
What were you thinking of, my love…
when you broke my heart?
I guess it never occurred to you…
the sky would fall apart.
What did you think?
And what were you thinking?
What did you think?
What were you thinking when you called
from a thousand miles away?
And I don’t don’t know where you are
but I can hear the sound of trains.
What did you think?
And what were you thinking?
What did you think?
What were you thinking love was then?
A word to say out loud only when you want something
like rabbits from the clowns.
What did you think?
And what were you thinking?
What did you think?
I sold my soul for you.
I spent my gold on you.
Committed crimes untold for you.
If I may be so bold….
What did you think?
And what were you thinking?
What did you think?

Ego

“Ego”
i drive a big fat car because you hand me your keys.
you think i care who you are but you dont matter to me.
i cast my swine before pearls but you’re too stupid to see.
and i like to sit in my lair and watch myself on TV
you don’t even know that you bought it for me.
my ego stomped on New York, my ego swallowed L.A.
my ego is my wife but i never get laid.
and i wonder why because i’m so effing great.
my ego blocks out the sun… my ego’s bigger than sky
my ego weighs a ton… that’s no effing lie.
I’m so focused on me that i can’t even see
I’m egomaniac.
I’m so in love with me that i can’t even see
I’m egomaniac.
i sound like somebody else every single time.
i got nothing to say and i say it in rhymes.
i charge you for my graph and no one knows who i am.
it makes you feel so good when you kiss my ass.
someone knows i’m a fool…. and he just laughs.
I’m so focused on me that i can’t even see
I’m egomaniac
I’m so in love with me that i can’t even see
I’m egomaniac.

She Makes Me Hungry
05:23
|
|||
There’s no right way, there’s no wrong way,
there’s just your way and there’s my way,
nobody’s wrong
I’ve seen desert evening skies,
I’ve watched oceans fall and rise,
you make me wonder what it’s like to breathe water,
to be on fire,
but she makes me hungry.
She makes me she makes me hungry,
she makes me she makes me.
I want no more than I need, you want everything you see
I want one love… imprison me, you want always to be free.
nobody’s wrong.
What I want and you want are very very different things…
She makes me hungry.

Burgers

"Burgers"
wait til they find all the people i’ve killed
wait til they find all the people i’ve thrilled
they’re digging up the garden
there’s babies in the basement
mommy’s in the attic
i never knew what love meant
wait til they find all the people i’ve killed
wait til they find all the people i’ve thrilled
there’s no room in the freezer
hitch-hikers in the trunk
i had to hide my teacher
in a junk pile by some drunk punks
wait til they find all the people i’ve killed
there’s neighbors inside the burgers i’ve grilled
wait til they find all the people i’ve killed
there’s neighbors inside the burgers i’ve grilled

This Is True
Some days I go down to the cold streets in Dream Town.
i feel at home… safe somehow
walking on the wire there’s no looking down.
oh, babe,
i’m closer now to the peace place
that i’ve dreamed about
steal my heart, look all around…
it all belongs to me, when the stars come out.
we can always laugh about it…
remember times when we were smiling…
and when it hurts just passing hours
oh, you have me and i have you
and this is true.
this is true.
Long, long, long is the day… gone, gone, long gone away.
here comes the night like a bird on the wing.
turn on your light so my world to see.
we can always dream about it…
a love that’s never ending.
and in its time, as life is fading,
you’ll run to me and I’ll comfort you…
and this is true
this is true.

Ever?
03:27
|

“Ever?”
ever cry your self to sleep at night
just to escape the troubles that claw your mind?
ever just shake your head and wonder why
life is so hard… love takes so long to find?
when the rain comes down… no place to hide.
in the city or the countryside.
rains for days til you cant take no more…
crying in mirrors, behind your bedroom door.
no more tears for you my beautiful girl.
it’s just you and me against the world.
moonlight shines upon your weary face.
and tomorrow is another day.
tell me your dreams in the morning light
and hold onto me, everything’s gonna be alright.
no more tears from you my beautiful girl.
it’s just you and me against the world.

If I Fall
03:38
|

“if I run… if I fall…
I will rise and fly above the highest wall, if I should fall.
if I crash… if I burn…
scars will heal and leave behind a lesson learned,
if I should burn.
living in the dark house, but I can see the light.
smashing every clock now, it’s gonna be alright.
if I run… if I fall…
I will rise and fly above the highest wall,
if I should fall.
if I live… if I die…
I don’t care as long as there is you and I,
if I should die.
living in the dark house, but I can see the light.
smashing every clock now, it’s gonna be alright.
if I live… if I die…
I don’t care as long as there is you and I,
if I should die.”
