This Is Your Life

Love is time that's so hard to find in a grieving world
Time to lead the blinded swine before the pearls
The world is lost at the empty cost of a broken dream
Broken dreams are hardly ever what they seem
This is your life, I do what I can to make the most of mine
This is your life, I do what I can to make the most of mine
All I ever dream and all I ever wish for is on the other side
All I ever want and all I ever need and all I ever wanted is right in front of me
This is your life, I do what I can to make the most of mine
This is your life, I do what I can to make the most of mine
All I ever dream and all I ever wish for is on the other side
All I ever want and all I ever need and all I ever wanted is right in front of me
Love is time that's so hard to find in a grieving world
Time to lead the blinded swine before the pearls
The world is lost at the empty cost of a broken dream
Broken dreams are hardly ever what they seem
This is your life, I do what I can to make the most of mine
This is your life, I do what I can to make the most of mine

Sunday Afternoon
03:24
|

|
I miss my sisters, I miss my brothers,
I miss my father and I miss my mother
I'm gonna make it up to you on Sunday afternoon
I miss the living, I miss the dead
I miss the voices that they left in my head
Don't want to wake them up to soon on Sunday afternoon... be there soon
And I'm so glad to see you there, glad to see you anywhere
Face all the memories, make some more enough to get you home
I'm feeling old
I miss my children, I miss my friends
Don't want to think about the day it all ends
I'll say a prayer for all of you, on Sunday afternoon
And I'm so sad to see you go, sad enough to let you know
Face all the memories, make some more enough to get you home
I'm feeling old... I'm feeling old.

Lightning Strikes
03:22

Soon my love
We'll be walking through park
After darkness falls so soon, my love
We're waiting for a flash from up above
Now I know, What I couldn't have all those years ago
I see, Maybe we were just never meant to be alone
So here we go
Soon my dear
We'll be shocking through a tree
Into a cloud we disappear
We never even knew the end was near
These angels follow us into oblivion
These angels follow us there's two for every one
Now I know, What I couldn't have all those years ago
I know, We'd better make best what's left to go
I see, maybe we were just never meant to be alone
So here we go
Electrocute the plan
A lady and a man
It's over when the lightning strikes again
A lover to a friend
A lovely way to end
It's over when the lightning strikes again
Lightning strikes again
Lightning strikes again
Lightning strikes again
Lightning strikes again

Raining On My Birthday
02:51
|
|||
|
It's raining on my birthday
And I don't mind at all
Thank you for the wishing well
And thank you for the call
All my insecurities are crashing to the floor
All my intuitions tell me more
Foes that lived under my skin are easy to ignore
Cause time is moving faster than before
It's raining on my birthday
And I don't mind at all
Thank you for the wishing well
And thank you for the call
I will count my blessings
That punctuate my life
The list is tall but most of all
My children and my wife
Sunshine is very fine
To wish all summer long
The rain clouds always gift me with a song
After all the rain will fall
To wash away all the fear
And rainbows usher in another year
It's raining on my birthday
And I don't mind at all

Someday
05:54
|

Someday we won't be in such a hurry
Some days I don't want to leave my bed
When I learn to break the spell of worry
Someday will become today instead
Somewhere there's a place we come together
Somewhere in the universal dream
When I learn the meaning of forever
Someday may be closer than it seems
Something I perhaps forgot to mention
Something that keeps floating in my mind
Love is all that ever will remember
As we make our way through space and time
Love comes
Floating in my mind
Love is all we ever
Will remember
As we make our way through space and time
Love oooh
Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahhh
Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh Ahhh
Through space and time
Someday we won't be in such a hurry
Some days I don't want to leave my bed
When I learn the meaning of forever
Someday will be closer than it seems
Love comes
Floating in my mind
Love is all we ever will remember
As we make our way through space and time
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh
Love comes
Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Waiting for a resolution
Standing at the edge of time
I comb the shore forevermore
You surf the ocean in my mind
And in my heart you'll dwell forevermore
As we take flight again
To where it's brighter than
The great escape we had in mind
Our thoughts keep sliding in
To what we might have been
If only there had been a sign

The New Reverse
03:55
|
|||
|
How are we to buck the curse
When forward is the new reverse
Up is down and down is up
Wait for emptiness to fill my cup
How do we receive the word?
When sacred is the new absurd
(We) Look for healing in the scar
(We) Look for love but love is what we are, what we are
As I wander through the fields
Deeper meanings are revealed
Come to me in lucid dreams
Where everyone is never what they seem
Modern slang and ancient tongue
Harmony in unison
Dancing on the moated gate
A tapestry the ancestry creates, recreates
Ah ah ah ah
If the book is written first
Then how am I to write a verse?
I'm falling, falling
First are last and last are first
Then forward is the new reverse
I'm falling, falling
Down
Ah ah ah ah

What You Want
03:23
|
|||
|
Eye for an eye as we stand by and watch
As the world goes blind
It really blows my mind
I saw the sky open up hoping love
won't be left behind
Forsaking human kind
I watched the world pass me by as AI
Says I am to blame
That they forgot my name
Chorus
After all the rock stars let you down
Every hero leaves the underground
Keep your eyes upon the prize
It that's what you want
That's what you want
After all the angels burn their wings
On a melody the devil sings
Keep your eyes upon the prize
It that's what you want
That's what you want
I used to be such a serious man
'Til I laughed it off
Oh what a thing to pull off
I want no more of this boring existence
I'm moving on
Oh won't you come along
Chorus
Outro
Oh looking over...
Don't try and save us
We'll never be famous
Don't try and save us
We'll never be famous
Don't try to save us
We'll never be famous

Wait up for the movie
Lord ought to know
Stay up for the sunshine
We want to be gold
Give in to the ages
Don’t offer to know
Stay out of the picture
Give in to your heart
Breathe in for the first time
Stay out of the Dark

Praying For Time
04:34
|
|||
|
Oh-oh, yeah
Mmm
To-do-do, oh-oh
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much but we'll take our chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned His back and all God's children
Crept out the back door
And it's hard to love
There's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much, too much, too late
Well, maybe we should all be praying for time
To-do-do, oh-oh
Mmm, whoa-whoa, yeah
These are the days of the empty hand
Oh, you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here
So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back 'cause he has no children
To come back for?
It's hard to love
There's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time
To-do-do
Oh-oh, yeah

Oh Lord
02:48
|

|
Oh Lord I'm tired but I can't sleep anymore
I'm begging you to open up the door
I know it's late and I've been careless with my time
Thank you Lord for showing me a sign
I must confess that this world is mess
Still I pray there will be something left to bless
Save me a place in your eternal grace
Hold me in your merciful embrace
oooooooo
aaaaaaaa
