Crouching down inside a deep ravine / Those angry cries pass quickly
by, he can't be seen / So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans
/ Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands / Close call
there in the shadows / There's a fear in the dark / There's one out there
/ All those memories, pain and anger, flood back one by one / They must
be just around the bend, they always come / At night as I lay sleeping
they come to me in herds / Their lies remain, the dreams the same, it's
only fleeting words / No one calls there in the shadows / There's no end
to the dark / But there's one out there, no one but me.... / The hours
pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me / No way's the right way.
Is there a way out for me? / My life's slipping out... / Rising up, the
night is done, and now the bright lights come / Held back in my pitied
world where everything's undone / A cold wind blows right through me, I'm
made a hollow shell / There's nothing left, just ash remains, enrich the
soil, no soil, no soil... / Close call there in the shadows / There's an
end to the dark / 'Cause there's someone out there / Someone like me...
/ The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me / No way's the
right way, is there a way out for me / The hours pass so slowly / The life's
slipping out of me / Is there a way out for me? / The hours pass so slowly
/ The life's slipping out of me / Is there a way out for me? / There must
be a way out for me...
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there / And I'm walking towards
the water steaming body cold and bare / But your words cut loose the fire
and you left my soul to bleed / And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving
me, has got me scared / Oh why? / Through your eyes the strains of battle
like a brooding storm / Your up and down these pristine velvet walls like
focus never forms / My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray
/ I see you now a vague deception of a dying day / Oh why? / I fall into
the water and once more I turn to you / and the crowds were standing staring
faceless cutting off my view to you / They start to limply flail their
bodies in a twisted mime / And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which
I'm lain entwined / You're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in
which I'm lain entwined / Oh why?
We walk without a sound across a barren landscape / Your eyes are twisted
down to a dew entrailed ground / We watch the stars as they slowly fade
away and in the clearing sky I see / The cold stone face of morning setting
in on me / It's a strange world / It's a very strange world that leaves
me / Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose / Your touch
is cold and damp, the devil's in your eyes / I wonder why I always let
you lead me on this way / 'Cause you see only what you want to see / You
feel only what you want to / And I am on the outside of your strange world
/ It's a strange world / It's a very strange world that leaves me / Holding
on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose / We're walking hand in
hand, we'll walk this way forever / Our eyes have risen to the water's
edge watching with the tides / The stars have fallen to another day and
the sun warms our path to / Find the reasons leave us far behind in our
strange world / It's a strange world / It's a very strange world that leaves
me / Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose
Somewhere deep inside me / I hold a picture of a time long gone / A
time of ease and simple pleasures / And days in shadows not so long / Now
with my mind I'm struggling / Holding on to what I believe / Listen to
the fragments of my thoughts / That leave me broken and deceived / 'Cause
I don't know the way / He said "I can take you there, / I can show you
places where our time has had no ware" / And as we walked the plains /
The skies they opened wide / Revealing all the shame for what's been lost
inside us all // CHORUS : It's a day in the life / In my mind I've seen
it all / Sometime soon for all to see / The walls are slowly breaking down
/ In my mind I've seen it all / And someday we'll be free / We're searching
for a message / Or so I thought but so it seems / The ignorance in the
myths of others / Is easier to redeem / I've never questioned the answers
given / To find the faith that's been lost within / 'Cause where I lay
my trust in others / Where it lies the ground is thin / 'Cause I don't
know the way / He said "I can take you there, / I can show you places where
our time has had no ware" / And as we walked the plains / The skies they
opened wide / Revealing all the shame for what's been lost inside us all
// CHORUS // CHORUS // I know you say you love me / If what you say is
true / So show me something that's not deceiving / 'Cause I wouldn't lie
to you // CHORUS
You're always waiting on the tide / It's time you decide / I've walked
down long roads that seem to have no end at all / You never wanted time
to end / To let my life offend / It's time to realize what hides deep inside
your holy eyes / Hold on tight, hold on fast / This ain't the kind that
always lasts / If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go / All the
way my love, over the hills and right on through you / Run away my love,
over the hills and right on through you / Over the hills and right on through
you / Lying awake in these restless dreams / Life's never what it seems
/ I've always tried to read your eyes / To get inside that scornful mind
/ Hold on tight, hold on fast / This ain't the kind that always lasts /
If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go / All the way my love,
over the hills and right on through you / Run away my love, over the hills
and right on through you / Over the hills and right on through you / I
was with you on that pallet steaming / Spinning 'round in circles dreaming
/ I was with you on that pallet steaming / Running 'round in circles screaming...
/ All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you... / Run
away my love, over the hills and right on through / All the way my love,
over the hills and right on through you... / Run away my love, over the
hills and right on through
A time so haunting moonlight in the mist / Lay me down Beside you oh
as long as it lasts / From the river comes a Figure drifting slowly by
/ Trailing long the water, leaving softer than a sigh / Softer than a sigh
All the feelings they remain like a still life / A dying swan song forever
lost your cries of glory / The rain is falling down like silence in a shroud
/ When All that really matters left to lose / I'm all alone / I'm all alone
/ All the feelings they remain like a still life / A dying swan song forever
lost your cries of glory / Walking from the shadows, a fear of sadness
grows / Your heart is in your hand your knowing looks / Our Time is gone
/ My time is gone / Swan's dying song...
On the hills of fire the darkest hour / I was dreaming of my true love's
pyre / Who will bring a light to stoke the fire / Fear not for you're still
breathing / On a winter's day / I saw the life blood drained away / A cold
wind blows on a windless day / Hear the cry for new life the morning's
flame / You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain / Who
will bring you back from where there's no return / Fear not for you're
just dreaming / On a winter's day I saw the life blood drained away / A
cold wind blows on a windless day
