Dear God

Dear God, / Hope you got the letter and / I pray you can make it better down here. / I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer / But all the people that you made in your image, / See them starving on their feet / 'Cause they don't get enough to eat / From God / I can't believe in you. / Dear God, / Sorry to disturb you, but / I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. / We all need a big reduction in the amount of tears / And all the people that you made in your image, / See them fighting in the street / 'Cause they can't make opinions meet / About God, I can't believe in you. / Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? / Did you make mankind after we made you? / And the devil too?! / Dear God, / Don't know if you noticed, but... / Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book, / Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, / And all the people that you made in your image, / Still believing that junk is true / Well I know it ain't, and so do you / Dear God, / I can't believe in... / I don't believe in... / I won't believe in heaven and hell. / No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. / No pearly gates, no thorny crown. / You're always letting us humans down. / The wars you bring, the babes you drown. / Those lost at sea and never found, / And it's the same the whole world 'round. / The hurt I see helps to compound / That Father, Son and Holy Ghost / Is just somebody's unholy hoax / And if you're up there you'd perceive / That my heart's here upon my sleeve. / If there's one thing I don't believe in..... / It's you..... / Dear God.


I Will Remember You

I will remember you / Will you remember me? / Don't let your life pass you by / Weep not for the memories / Remember the good times that we had? / I let them slip away from us when things got bad / How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun / Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one / I will remember you / Will you remember me? / Don't let your life pass you by / Weep not for the memories / I'm so tired but I can't sleep / Standin' on the edge of something much too deep / It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word / We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard / But I will remember you / Will you remember me? / Don't let your life pass you by / Weep not for the memories / I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose / Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose / Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night / You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light / And I will remember you / Will you remember me? / Don't let your life pass you by / Weep not for the memories / And I will remember you / Will you remember me? / Don't let your life pass you by / Weep not for the memories / Weep not for the memories


Gloomy Sunday (Live)

Sunday is Gloomy, / My hours are slumberless, / Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless / Little white flowers will never awaken you / Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you / Angels have no thought of ever returning you / Would they be angry if I thought of joining you / Gloomy Sunday / Sunday is gloomy with shadows I spend it all / My heart and I have decided to end it all / Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad, / I know, let them not weep, / Let them know that I'm glad to go / Death is no dream, / For in death I'm caressing you / With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you / Gloomy Sunday / Dreaming / I was only dreaming / I wake and I find you / Asleep in the deep of / My heart / Dear / Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you / My heart is telling you how much I wanted you / Gloomy Sunday


Song For A Winter's Night

The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top / The snow is softly fallin' / The air is still within the silence of my room / I hear your voice softly callin' / If I could only have you near / To breathe a sigh or two / I would be happy just to hold the hands I love / Upon this winter night with you / The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead / My glass is almost empty / I read again between the lines upon the page / The words of love you sent me / If I could know within my heart / That you were lonely too / I would be happy just to hold the hands I love / Upon this winter night with you / The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim / The shades of night are liftin' / The mornin' light steals across my windowpane / Where webs of snow are driftin' / If I could only have you near / To breathe a sigh or two / I would be happy just to hold the hands I love / And to be once again with with you / To be once again with with you


Blue

Blue, songs are like tattoos / You know I've been to sea before / Crown and anchor me / Or let me sail away / Blue, here is a song for you / Ink on a pin / Underneath the skin / An empty space to fill in / Well there's so many sinking now / You've got to keep thinking / We can make it through these waves / Acid, booze, and ass / Needles, guns, and grass / Lots of laughs, lots of laughs / Well everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go / Well I don't think so / But I'm gonna take a look around it though / Blue, I love you. / Blue, here is a shell for you / Inside you'll hear a sigh / A foggy lullaby / Here is my song from me.


As The End Draws Near (Extended)

[Chorus]:
Into the valleys / The shadow of death / Griefs silently across the darkened sea / This is it / We stand alone / We can see it all from here / The starless night across the mountain side / No one left to talk to / There's nothing left to say // [Chorus] // You and me / We stand alone / We can see it all from here / Stretched far and wide / The barren skies / Fighting a silence / From deep inside // [Chorus] // [Repeats verse 2] // Into the valleys / The shadow of death / Griefs silently it's in you and me / It's in you and me
