And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning to a light
That's in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
Oh, oh, oh, on borderland we run
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 smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once
Gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the
road
On the side of the hill ad the valleys explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh come away, oh come away
Oh come away say I
Oh come away, oh come away
Oh come away say I
Oh, 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, tonight
I'll be there, tonight
Oh come away, oh come away
Oh come away say I
The wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream...
Tonight we'll build a bridge
across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Thorugh the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
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
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire
fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
Early morning April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last
They took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
Innocent and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Such a nice day, throw your life away
Such a nice day, let it go
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
Cold in his heart and soul
Heart and soul
Cold man, such a cold heart, such
a
Cold manner why'd you tear yourself apart
Sold in the dark, my soul to keep
Sold in the dark, the longest sleep, oh, oh
The longest sleep
In I come and out you go, you get
Here we are again, now place your bets
Is this the time, the time to win or lose?
Is this the time, the time to choose?
Cold in his eyes, I can't believe it
So deep inside I don't fire
Cold in his heart and soul
Anytime you're on the earth, kiss
him, huh, you, huh
Won't you take me, that's right, just keep me going
It's allright Jack, you come the right Jack
Closer and cut off, cut throat, bled out
I'm on your side, be on the boat side
I'm allright Jack, you get off my back
I'm on dope, I'll give you hope
He is the rope, he is the rope
My single way
Ice
Your only rivers run cold
This city lights, they shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal
Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk till you run and don't look back
For here I am
Carnival
The wheels fly and the colours spin
Through alcohol, red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face in a dry and waterless place
Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to besiege your love
So head on
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking, but I, I think you know
Come on, take me away
Come on, take me home
Come on, take me home
Home again
And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear
No, not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
Ever after this love in time
And if you save your love
Don't save it all
Don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Earth, sky, scenery
Is she coming back again?
Men of straw, snooker hall
Words that build or destroy
Dirt dry, bone, sand and stone
Barbed wire fence cut me down
I'd like to be around in a spiral staircase to the higher ground
I like fireworks explode
Roman candle, lightning, lights up the sky
In cracked streets trampled underfoot
Sidesteps, sidewalks
I see you stare into open space
Have I got closer now, behind the face
Oh, tell me, Cherry dance with me
Turn me around tonight
Up through a spiral staircase to the higher ground
Slideshow, seaside town, Coca Cola, football, radio, radio...
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
I'd leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night and through the rain
Into the halflight and through the flame
If I could through 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 to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no
If you should ask, then maybe they'd tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
To let it go, and so to fade away
To let it go, and so to fade away
To let it go, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no
In the ocean cut swim deep the sky
Light there, I don't know why
In the forest there's a clearing
I run there, toward the light
Sky
It's a blue sky
In the earth a hole dig deep
Decide if I could I would
Up for air to swim against the tide
Hey, hey, hey, up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
You give yourself
To this the longest day
You give yourself
You give it all away
True rivers run to deeper seasons
Change, and so do I
The light that strikes the tallest trees
Will light away
For I will light away
Up toward the sky
It's a blue sky
To lose along the way
The spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade
On this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul
You give yourself
To this the longest day
You give yourself
You give it all away
Black flash
Black flash over my own love
Tell me of my eyes
Black flash come though my own life
Telling these things
And I believe them
And I believe in you
White flash sees the sky
And it turns its side from you
She won't turn my back
And I know you turn so blue
And you know
And your sky is feeling blue
And your heart
So cold when I'm with you
And you feel
Like no one told you to
And your time is your side
And your time with me
Ah, don't talk to me
Ah, don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
You know
Like no one told you how
But you know
Though the king that howls has howled
But you feel like sentimental
But you don't care
If I just share it in your heart
(heart...)
Hopelessly
So hopelessly
I'm breaking through for you and me
And you don't
Though no one told you to
And you found out
Where you were going, where to
You're through with me
But I know that you will be back
For more
You know
And though no one told you so
And you know, blue sky
Like a harder shade of blue
And you walk
When you want
To let go
Me, I'm the outside, don't let me fade away
Drop me down but don't break me
In your sleep
In your sleep, inside
It's in your heart and mine
Whole sea is dark
It's in your heart and mine
Sweetly, those will come
Loving is on your side walking through
So let me in your heart
Your beat is like something...
They...
Run...
See say you're sad and reach by
So say you're sad above beside
Oh stay you're sad over beside
So stay sad above we said
You know I don't
No one told you how
(and you don't)
(and you wipe sweat off your white brow)
And you care
And no one told you tried
And your heart
Is left out from the side
And the rain beats down
And the shame goes down
And this rain keeps on coming down
And this sky
Tonight...
You know 's' 'o' 'n' 'g', why
You're going go join to God
You know 's' 'o' 'n' 'g', why
Give away some him no lie
Give away some my de day no
You know
And though no one told you sky
And you feel
Like you pretend you can
You say go, you live
Oh live outta me
Don't you leave
Don't leave out part of me
Then I can feel
Like I feel before
Like I hold now
And I see the floor
If you pick me up
Bits and pieces on this floor
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on Him
So let it be
So let it be
Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on Him
