IF

If you twist and turn away.
If you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.

Surrender, dislocate.
If I could throw this lifeless
Lifeline to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay,
See you walk, walk away,
Into the night.
And through the rain.
Into the half-light,
And through the flame.
If I could throw myself,
set your spirit free.
I'd lead your heart away,
See you break, break away
Into the light.
And to the day.

To let it go,
And so to fade away.
To let it go,

And so fade away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.
Oh, no, no.

If you should ask then maybe
They tell you what I would say.
True colors fly in blue and black,
bruised silken skies and burning flag.
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.

If I could, you know I would.
If I could, I would let it go.
This desparation.
Dislocation.
Separation.
Condemnation.
Revelation.
Temptation.
Isolation.
Desolation.

Let it go,
And so to fade away.
To let it go,
And so fade away.
Oh, no
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.
Oh, no no

A SHORT OF HOMECOMING

And you know it's time to go
through the sleet and driving snow
across the fields of mourning to
lights in the distance

And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and you earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape

Oh, oh on borderland we run
and still we run, we run and don't look back
I'll be there, I'll be there
tonight, a highroad, a highroad out of here

the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance

And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own

Oh, oh on borderland we run
and still we run, we run and don't look back
tonight, tonight

The wind will crack in wintertime
a bomb-blast lightning waltz
no spoken words, just a scream . . .

tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
see the sky burning rain
she will die and live again
tonight

And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

THREE SUNRISES

Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall

Love me till I die, my heart won't wait
Soon I will be down in this love song

In this love, love song
In this love. love song
Hey hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

It's a love song, love
Love, love song...

Sunshine, sunshine on me
Sunshine, sunshine on me
In this love, love song
Hey hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

In this love song
Love song, love song
Sunshine, sunshine on me
Bring it through to my home
I will give you everything
I will give you my desire
Love song, love song

LOVE COMES TUMBLING

Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are

The seed is split, the bed defiled
For you a virgin bride
Find yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me
I can't lift you up again
Love comes tumbling down again
