fall’s end performance – these are the dreams

THE YEARS

the years flew. I wanna go back. coming clean means bigger dreams for the years we hold onto. you are clarity. perfect timing gave you to me. it comes clearly – the words you said I now believe. embrace this day. it’s all we have. I will remember forever the years we can’t bring near.

YOU SMILE, I’LL DIE

in your eyes, I saw there’s a hope you’d find me. Please angel, heal my broken heart. igniting every day when the warm morning breathes in, these are the dreams we’re made of… you smile and I’ll die staring in your eyes. I sigh, knowing I’m just a fool in your eyes. the crimson sunrise flies and bears a new day. this angelic story heals a broken heart. whiten this holiday with golden autumn breezes. these are the dreams we’re made of… you are the melody. this dance is yours tonight.

DOWN IN YOURSELF

I’d rather stand alone and hear the silence drone with you. I hope you understand that it’s all I can do. so when we’ve lost all our fear and when we can come down from here. don’t hide out-down in yourself, don’t run around – down in yourself. there’s a thousand ways for you to say how you live. but God gave a thousand chances for you to live. so it ends in yourself.

DON’T WALK AWAY

you wrote that letter a year ago. I never thought I would come home. but things have gone the other way. the postcard I send- my life has changed. don’t walk away. don’t walk away from me. you seem all turned around. I think your heart has already found a love story without a prince. you are the one that has been missed.

IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT (ALL I NEEDED)

alone tonight. how I long to be showered in your colours. it’s all I know. I run to meet you to follow you there. and you’ll be mine tomorrow- you’re there. you’re on my mind. it’s been so long since I held you close, felt your touch. it’s all I know. you wait for me. I’m blind to see that it’s all I needed, all I needed- your love for me.

DIE IN HER ARMS

innocence: far gone. lies: unjustified. we hold hands in the long grass. your eyes lying- she comes. you and her run around here. you die in her arms in fear. please just stay. guilt: unloosing grip. home: how far does love go? how it extends in the end. your eyes lying she comes. please just stay.

WHEN I DREAM

I hold my breath and wait. your eyes tell me of your heart’s pain. too many broken promises. so many lies. I know the lies. open your eyes. try to realize that my love is drowning. I won’t give up. when I dream, I dream of you. my hopes and cares are held in you. it’s alright, I’m awake. I thought about what you said today, all those broken promises. you lied. how could you lie? my love is drowning. I can’t give up.

DEAR LAUREN

look into her beautiful eyes. she’s bringing me down. she’s not really mine. hold onto her warm country hands. she’s bringing me down. she’s not really mine. I can’t make sense of this heart and this aching mess. with a word or two you’ll miss my love. my heart still feels the hope that she steals. she’s bringing me down. she’s not really mine. don’t let her fall… as you turn away, I wonder…why?

DO YOU WANT ANSWERS?

sunlight, when will you come home. stars watch as we dance alone. I’m waiting when there’s nothing to see. I’m changing when I walk blindly. I hide my dreams. you watch your love go. it’s never coming down. do you want answers when I’m gone? well their gone, it’s gone. tragic, how this life unfolds. the new sky my eyes behold. I’m wasting the time that will tell. I’m chasing a love that stands still. my face fades as I get old. my heart breaks to see your eyes of gold.

SECURITY FOR LOVE YOU CANNOT TRADE

I feel you falling from my eyes. I am losing you to miles. far apart I can’t see your eyes. I will lose you in time. I’m a fool to hold you. it’s too late to run away. please let me hold you. and whisper don’t be afraid. I don’t know what the future holds. how can I know that you won’t go? as the day draws near to night, my eyes see your footprints in the light. but you’ve always had that look in your eyes. in a year you’ll say goodbye.
