The Way I Live My Life
A walking shadow
Got left behind
A falling darkness
And the street lights that shine
Stepping over
Across the line
Dissolution
And the freedom you find
I know you want me to come home again
I know you’ve waited for me all your life
I know that nothing’s gonna change the way
I live my life
So you’re going
A thousand miles
From Wyoming
To defend a child
A mother’s daughter
A father’s son
In your blood line
The same rivers run
I know you want me to come home again
I know you’ve waited for me all your life
I know that nothing’s gonna change the way
I live my life
It’s only love
You’re looking for
You got it baby
You needed more
The way you live your life
I know you want me to come home again
I know you’ve waited for me all your life
I know that nothing’s gonna change the way
I live my life
How I Was Hoping
The past is gone
Future is waiting
Where are you standing ?
Get your feet on solid ground
The water is rising
You can’t swim across
Wearing your armour
Leave your heart on the rocks
How I was hoping the wounds we had opened would heal
How I was hoping the love we had broken would heal
The cane fields are burning
Black smoke in the sky
Ashes returning back to the soil
It came from the east
Wild thundering storm
The veil between us and the lie here has gone
How I was hoping the wounds we had opened would heal
How I was hoping the love we had broken would heal
How I was hoping that someday you finally would feel
How I was hoping the wounds we had opened would heal
How I was hoping the love we had broken would heal
How I was hoping that someday
Our love is coming back
Are you coming back?
One by One
I won’t cry
When we say goodbye
I won’t try to be strong
When you’re gone
I’m wide awake
I feel the ties that will not break
Out in the storm you have no form
When you’re gone
One by one, we all become undone
Two by two, true love will find me and you
I can’t breathe
Or feel alive underneath these trees
Out in the field walking blind
It’s a dream
One by one, we all become undone
Two by two, true love will find me and you
I see it in your eyes again, I see it in your eyes again
Your buried in disguise again, I see it in your eyes
One by one, dry your tears in the morning sun
Two by two, true love will find me and you
Cease Fire
The rocks weigh heavy upon your feet
As you walk down narrow winding streets
In shadows and violence be careful where you lay
It’s the saddest story for you today
Lay down your weapons now
No one can win this war
Cease fire and call a truce
Cut your self loose
In an ivory tower you wait for someone
To bring you a message of a new born son
For a peaceful life the angels cry
“God sleeps right by your side”
Lay down your weapons now
No one can win this war
Cease fire and call a truce
Cut your self loose
The rocks weigh heavy upon your feet
As you walk down narrow winding streets
In shadows and violence be careful where you play
Its the saddest story for you today
Before You Knew Me
Before you knew me I was already lost
A thousand miles from the man I was
Before you lay with me I lost my way
I have no memory of a higher place
I fell into you
Breaking my soul
Against your heart
Breaking my soul
Crystal clear
Against your heart
Before you love me you must know the truth
I have no remedy for the hurt in you
Before the morning comes I hold you near
Face our enemies that are hiding here
I fell into you
Breaking my soul
Against your heart
Breaking my soul
Crystal clear
Against your heart
Empires on fire
Two worlds collide
When the blind lead the blind
Through the darkness shine
Empires on fire
I watch the flames grow higher
Wide awake when the wolves cry
Staring straight in the whites of there eyes
Somewhere out in the lost life
You find…
Love is not weak or blind
Love is lying wide awake
Underneath every breath that you take
Satisfied to throw your stones
Across the border to our homes
Now I see what I have lost
And I know I must pay the cost
To love you like I used to do
Let the morning shine through
Searchlights On
Searchlights on looking for you
In a burned out world you shine through
You came to call this your home
But will it ever be what you want it to be
Be free
There’s something out there in the dark
Shining only for you
I feel a fire in my heart
There’s something out there in the dark
Searchlights on looking for you
I believe in the soul but I have no proof
I dive alone in the sea at night
No longer terrified of the truth
I would find beneath
There’s something out there in the dark
Shining only for you
I feel a fire in my heart
There’s something out there in the dark
I’m tired of waiting for the right time
To come and give me what is mine
It’s someone else’s dream tonight
But it’s not going to be enough for me
I need to shine bright
I need to shine
There’s something out there in the dark
Shining only for you
I feel a fire in my heart
There’s something out there in the dark
Dying With You Baby
Nothing left to say
Nowhere else to go
It’s only you and me here on my own
Shallow empty days
Passing street parades
We both know something’s got to change
I got you red roses but still you sleep
I got no words for keeping you alive
I’m dying with you baby, I am dying here
Dying with you baby
I’m dying with you baby, I am dying here
Dying with you baby, I am
Well I had a taste
Of that perfect place
Who am I to say you can’t replace
Took the morning train
Past the dawn lit harbor
For seven days a fire burned for love
I got new eyes for loving
Got more than faith
I got this boat for crossing through time
I’m dying with you baby, I am dying here
Dying with you baby
I’m dying with you baby, I am dying here
Dying with you baby, I am
Turn The Soil
Plant a seed
Turn the soil
Hold this life and then you lose it well
All the same
Born of steel
Hardened hearts cannot be made to feel
50,000 miles from home
I can hear your rising storm
Through the dark and clear unknown
Tonight tonight tonight
You lie
And say we were in love
Oh why
For me, for me, for me
Go blind
Tonight, tonight, tonight
We lie
Breaking waves
On your back
A pound of flesh for everything you lack
Plant a seed
Turn the soil
Hold this life and then you lose it well
50,000 miles from home
I can hear your rising storm
Through the dark and clear unknown
Tonight tonight tonight
You lie
And say we were in love
Oh why
For me, for me, for me
Go blind
Tonight, tonight, tonight
We lie
A rage of ruin
And morning light
Fields of colour
A fallen sky
A raging river
We are torn apart
The silent distance
That breaks your heart
Tonight tonight tonight
You lie
And say we were in love
Oh why
For me, for me, for me
Go blind
Tonight, tonight, tonight
You lie
Fields of Happiness
Open your eyes
While you are all still young
From the old line
How you break free and run
You climb a thousand steps
To feel that fire in your cold hard chest
Put your fears and your sins to rest
Plough the fields of our happiness
Take it all back
To the place where we burn
Let me catch my breath
To feel every word
All I find is a loaded gun
A burning star and the golden sun
Put your fears and your sins to rest
Plough the fields of our happiness
Come break your heart
Be the dying of a star
Don’t wait for the lights
And the faces in the sky
Do this for love
Put your fears and your sins to rest
Plough the fields of our happiness
Long Way Down
All eyes on me as I walk away
Can’t find what I need to ease the pain
A distance in your eye, heavy like a stone
Come down from the edge
Bring your spirit home
Let them see your heart
Let the pieces fall
Let them feel your storm
Let them hunger for…
Thunder breathing a river through your bones
Hunger for a taste of the fire below
Took shelter in the wild colors of the earth
This time you know what your love is worth
Let them see your heart
Let the pieces fall
Let them feel your storm
Let them hunger for…
Its a long way down
Through the fear my love
Its a long way home
To the light of morning
Let them see your heart
Let the pieces fall
Let them feel your storm
Let them hunger for…
Paper People
Paper people walking through streets of fire
Looking for a taste of love
Growing hard of hearing you were losing touch
All the while a deeper fire
If you lie in the eye of the storm
The wild heart is born
So there lies a distance in between you and I
You know that I can feel it well
When I go looking you are hard to define
Fortified inside yourself
If you lie in the eye of the storm
The wild heart is born
In the falling light
Bring your love and your desire
On a road back through the night
There can be no denial
Paper people walking through streets of fire
Looking for a taste of love
Growing hard of hearing you were losing touch
All the while a deeper fire
If you lie in the eye of the storm
The wild heart is born
What Will We Become?
What will we become when our life is a setting sun ?
Through the rich and the poor times
At last we have found something we can be sure of
Lay our fears in the ground
Let’s go into the night where no one can find us
Lost out in the time
Feel the fire of the sun
Our love is tied up
What lies behind the king and queen and the veils of time ?
All the lights that we saw down the long winding corridors
Howling winds through the valley call you out in the wild
Let’s go into the night where no one can find us
Lost out in the time
Feel the fire of the sun
Our love is tied up
Where I lay my head in your arms outstretched
Never needed more This I know for sure
Let’s go into the night where no one can find us
Lost out in the time
Feel the fire of the sun
Our love is tied up

I Face Myself Alone
In the dark street underneath my window
There’s a ghost I know I must follow
As we both slip out into the shadows
I will stay my fears til’ tomorrow
Lines of color on the road
I see them as I go
I face myself alone
My illusion keeps me warm
Like a rolling summer storm
I face myself alone
There’s a ghost ship sailing into harbor
And a cold black tide on the shore
As we both slip out into the water
Where you know I’ve never been before
Lines of color on the road
I see them as I go
I face myself alone
My illusion keeps me warm
Like a rolling summer storm
I face myself alone
The wind and the rain and the storm in your eyes
The wind and the rain and the storm in your eyes
The wind and the rain and the storm in your eyes
The wind and the rain and the storm….
Will I find some peace of mind ?
Will I follow or lead the blind ?
Lines of color on the road
I see them as I go
I face myself alone
My illusion keeps me warm
Like a rolling summer storm
I face myself alone
Fire in the Valley
No light out here
Great heights all around us
Fire in the valley
A diamond in the stream
Changes in the night sky
Lying at your feet
So wild and free
New life underneath us
Fire in the valley
A diamond in the stream
Changes in the night sky
Lying at your feet
Fire in the valley
Changes in the night sky
Fire in the valley
I Hear Your Voice
I hear your voice Just like a rising river
I have no choice When will we lie together ?
I hear your voice I have no choice
Is that my blood you wash from your hands ?
Is this our love ? I can hardly stand
Is this your life in the blink of an eye ?
Hoping to find what you all ready know
The sound of guns in harmony
A silent marching band
The dying voice inside of me
That says you are alive
I hear your voice Just like a rising river
I have no choice When will we lie together ?
I hear your voice I have no choice
Well I’m holding onto nothing
I will keep you in my heart
Your leaving me forever
Never look into your eyes
A change is coming I can feel it in the air
Change is here I will be there in the end
I hear your voice I have no choice
I hear your voice Just like a rising river
I have no choice When will we lie together ?
I hear your voice I have no choice
Masquerade
Far below the reaches of your mind
Shadows moving in the subway of your soul
Echoed voices from long ago
Could be angels
Could be devils
All the words falling from your heart
Can’t decide where you ought to start
Embers rising into black as you ask me,“Is it right ?”
All the fires are burning low
As I stand alone in this afterglow
I feel lost in a million ways
I have no mask for the masquerade
We took the road winding to the top
Set the scene with heavy hearted loss
There we lay suspended in a state of anguish
All the while you were talking in your sleep
Telling me secrets best to keep
I prayed the sound of your own cries would wake you
And make you come alive
All the fires are burning low
As I stand alone in this afterglow
I feel lost in a million ways
I have no mask for the masquerade
Falling down
Set adrift
Out into the world
You come round
To my rescue
When I was just a boy
All the fires are burning bright
As I dance alone in this endless night
I feel alive in every way
I have no mask for the masquerade
House of Cards
Oh my fire
Oh my heart
Rising thunder
Awaken in the dark
Like a wild river
From the mountain side
A thousand colors
Come crashing through your eyes
So fine is the line
So delicate the word
This house of cards could fall at any time
And the brightest light will explode into sound
And become stardust
Oh my silence
Oh my blood
I lay breathing
In the hour of our love
All I wanted was a look inside your heart
All I needed was a taste of your soul in the dark
Now its all emotion in a rising sea
If I can’t find you, will you come find me ?
Oh my fire
Let the burning start
As I lie breathing
In the valley of your heart
So fine is the line
So delicate the word
This house of cards could fall at any time
And the brightest light will explode into sound
And become stardust
The dream is dying
Untie your hand
In a moonlit valley
You make your stand
The rules of love
Have made you strong
A blaze of light
And the dream is gone
So fine is the line
So delicate the word
This house of cards could fall at any time
And the brightest light will explode into sound
And become stardust
I Go Out Of My Mind
You are a raging heart
That can’t be tamed or calmed
The last to follow blind
The first to feel alive
I held you up
Your falling down
The rock of ages
I stand my ground
I go out of my mind looking for some paradise
I go out of my head hoping you would find me there
I go out of my mind running down this path of mine
Morning lies up ahead
Borderline must be there
Your reading lines in my hands
Well you and I must be there
I feel it now
Rising strong
No holding back our love’s
Golden sun
I go out of my mind looking for some paradise
I go out of my head hoping you would find me there
I go out of my mind running down this path of mine
Wild Ardor
**
I feel a tension underneath my skin
A soul lit fire somewhere deep within
Your wild horses
I hear no warning sign
Open hearted
Wild ardor in your eyes
Waited so long
A flash of fire in the night
See the lightning in the morning sky
Pray for love but I can only cry
Your wild heartbeat
I feel your warning sign
Open hearted
Wild ardor in your eyes
Waited so long
A flash of fire in the night
There is nothing left
No nobody, no one, can keep me away from this
No one
Open hearted
Wild ardor in your eyes
Waited so long
A flash of fire in the night
The Hunger and the Emptiness
Holding light out on the edge
A crash of thunder rain
Our nightingale is singing softly
Through the howling wind again
I died a thousand times
To tell you I have no fear left
Are we riding blind ?
While this freedom lies under my chest
Now we lie down on the ice
A flash in the midnight sky
Our bodies moving slow tonight
By the winding river, white as snow
I died a thousand times
To tell you I have no fear left
Are we riding blind ?
While this freedom lies under my chest
Firelight so far below
We climb this mountain side
My hunger and your emptiness
Like a bird through the valley, fly
I died a thousand times
To tell you I have no fear left
Are we riding blind ?
While this freedom lies under my chest
I tell you I have no fear left
Haunted Life
I came with shadows and I came with claws
I threw the bones and unlocked the doors
I heard the voices and the ghostly sounds
Of a haunted, haunted, haunted life
I took you in and then I took you over
I took you dancing in the carnival lights
You’re such a tempting scene as I ride
Through this haunted, haunted, haunted life
Everybody’s got a bridge to cross
Everybody’s got to pay the cost
You send a message but it comes right back
To your haunted, haunted, haunted life
I came with angels and I came with crosses
I came prepared for a contest of powers
The war inside, I tore out the soul of this
Haunted, haunted, haunted life
I heard the voices
I threw the bones
I came with angels
And burning crosses
I tore out the soul
Where I lay, where I lay
Where I lay in the garden of my soul
Fire in the Valley (Reprise)
All we have
Is the rising smoke
Of the life we held
And the love that we feel
