"You Lose Your Dreams"

"You Lose Your Dreams"



Cover it up in ivory cool
My logic fails with a winter fools

I feel music that is wild and free
And I know the fire and the fire knows me

You looked at me with those tired eyes
Said, “It’s time you realize
You must grow up, that time has come”
But I just smiled and I sang this song

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine

Looked at him with no surprise
I said, “Long time since I realized
As my body grows old my loving grows
I still touch the vision
I still smell the rose”

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine

You let them fly
I let them carry me
You let them die
I let them flourish here

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold
My love is given
While yours is sold
You call me a child
And that’s just fine
You lose your dreams
And I keep mine

Cover it up in ivory cool
My logic fails with a winter fools

For I feel the music that is wild and free
And I know the fire and the fire knows me

Your love is gone
Your heart’s too cold

"You Want Me To Go"

"You Want Me To Go"



Maybe I won’t be
The way I used to be
Maybe you can’t see
The way you used to see

Well I know I cry
The way I always cried
Each time I know
You want me to go

I say that I don’t feel
The way I used to feel
I’ve no more to hide
I’ve no more to steal

For I know I lie
The way I always lied
Each time I know
You want me to go

I’ve never seen rain
That didn’t look like tears
Never seen pain
That didn’t look like fear

But I’ve seen the way
You look that lets me know
You want me to go

And as each must be
What they believe
As each must take
What they can see

I had the love
The way I always loved
Even though I know
You want me to go

"You, Me And The Truth"

"You, Me And The Truth"



There may be trouble ahead
There may be light in the distance
It may be something you said
Maybe my lack of resistance

It took you so long to be young
And just a second to be old
Leave me a moment in the sun
I’ve got forever to be cold

Some people can find a way
To get this thing together
But there’s me
And there’s you then there’s the truth

How did you learn to be kind
Where did you learn to be honest
How do you learn to be blind
Why do you whisper the promise

If you cant have what you want
Why don’t you use what you’ve got
I won’t do things that I can’t
I can’t be something that I’m not

Some people can find a way
To get this thing together
But there’s me
And there’s you then there’s the truth

Some people can find a way
To get this thing together
But there’s me
And there’s you then there’s the truth

Maybe we should just be friends
Maybe we’d be better strangers
I know that everything ends
I know the color of danger

All we do is hide the fire
We just forget about the smoke
Is that a smile with a future
Or just a farewell to hope

Some people can find a way
To get this thing together
But there’s me
And there’s you then there’s the truth

Some people can find a way
To get this thing together
But there’s me
And there’s you then there’s the truth

But there’s me
And there’s you then there’s the truth

"Your Spirit To Me"

"Your Spirit To Me"



There's only seconds of your life
That really count for anything
All the rest is killing time
Waiting for a train

Come the revelation brother
I was sitting by myself
The last thing I was looking for
Came and left

The sea still rolled, no mountain fell
The sun still rose, the moon as well
I was undone, some kind of free
The day you sent your spirit to me

I ran and looked in the mirror
Like I'm expecting a change
But there deep in my eyes
The fear remained

The sea still rolled, no mountain fell
The sun still rose, the moon as well
I was undone, some kind of free
The day you sent your spirit to me

Is this just something else to lose
That you never replace
Another name that you try to give a face
