"You Reach Me"

"You Reach Me"



Moonlight's in her eyes and I can't see three feet in front of me
And its the middle of the day

Herculean tasks they come and go so easily
When her rods and her cones play

White bluely bathed in Elysian fields they run
And I don't care what time it is
I'd throw my watch away if I could hold the lunar surface
With the flicker of light that she witnesses

And if I'm reaching you
Don't you feel guilty
And there's nothing to do
And you can only help me
And I may never learn
But you can only teach me
I'm not sure where you're trying to go
All I'm saying is that you reach me

Some see the forest for the trees to avoid the trouble
Trouble might be what I'm looking for
Or surely I'd about-face and on the double
But it just doesn't work anymore

No longer up to me a compass leads the way
Restless evening spirit unwilling to cease
Responsible for what the Ouija board might say
Although it's my finger that moves the piece

And if I'm reaching you
Don't you feel guilty
And there's nothing to do
And you could only help me
And I may never learn
But you can only teach me
I'm not sure where you're trying to go
All I'm saying is that you reach me

I lash myself at the helm as my ship sails her reef
A violent storm is all around me
But before me only calm and welcome waters
As if at last she finally found me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
And if I'm reaching you
Now don't you feel guilty
And there's nothing to do
And you could only help me
And I may never learn
But you can only teach me
I'm not sure where you're trying to go
All I'm saying is that you reach me

And I may never learn
But you can only teach me
I'm not sure where you're trying to go
All I'm saying is that you reach me

The wind chimes and you're mine a thousand times
Until my rhymes and other crimes have aged like wine
You are sublime, so fine
You reach me
You reach me

"You're Burning Me"

"You're Burning Me"



I'm looking for some kind of sign
My dream is made of gold
I tread upon with muddy feet
My fever leaves me cold
I'm stretched across a thousand miles
And there's nothing I can do
Useless machines without your word
And the ropes are burning through

Fire is flame
You're burning me
Passion is pain
You're burning me

The flickering illuminates
But I only see your face
Paradise to he who waits
But it doesn't know it's place
I stand beyond the bain of time
I'm strong against the sand
Trapped inside the hourglass
Turning over in your hands

Fire is flame
You're burning me
Passion is pain
You're burning me

I'm at your mercy, at your feet
It isn't good enough
Though I am burned, I don't retain the heat
Without the sunshine of your love
You maketh me of fire and flame
No engine is en route
There's no evil in the joy you bring
But there's torture all about

Fire is flame
You're burning me
Passion is pain
You're burning me

"You, Me And Everything"

"You, Me And Everything"



Gonna get wild if it's ok
I don't need your blessing anyway
But I get crazy crazy sometimes
I just wanna warn you

So get out your camera, gather round
Gonna get to the rhythm gonna get on down
Bring your rock candy, bring Uncle Buck
Escape is in progress, care to try your luck?

Kick out the back door into whatever will drive
And cling to the shoulder till the night is alive
When you're lost in the wilderness you know you're there
And dust off your feet and put your hands in the air

And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
And oh, the endless skies
You and me and everything just flies

It don't mean much if it isn't fun
But since we're already on the run
It'd be crazy crazy even if we thought of stopping now

So settle your affairs and reap what you sow
Just reap it in the car cause we gots to go
Launching up the highway like a catapult
Don't you look back or you're a pillar of salt

So up jumped the devil got his hand to your ear
And he wants to say what you want to hear
With the pedal to the metal we're a kettle and pot
Running deep into the black ink given whatever we've got

And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
And oh, the endless skies
You and me and everything just flies

Now you can take it on faith from my boy bourgeois
Wild if it's ok
Don't you drive too fast cause it's against the law
Wild if it's ok

I get a little wild if it's ok
Because I can drive me one more day
Into this crazy crazy crazy crazy wide open world

And oh, it never rains
You and me and these two lanes
Oh, the open skies
You and me and everything just flies

You and me and everything
You and me and everything

"Yours"

"Yours"



You, with your and outstretched
finger on the key
this lock that You release
is opening but isn't free
and I hope that You can see
how it beats inside of me
instead of pushing fear aside
I want to run, I want to hide
I am vulnerably Yours
She, who is wanting me
Whose touch can make me cry
I can only understand
by never asking Her why
hear the contradictions fly
and as hard as I may try
every truth becomes a lie
in the ache of Her reply
I am passionately...
Yours
and the saddest eyes are
Yours
and the softest skin is
Yours
and the hope I borrow is
Yours
so won't you let me in, i'm Yours
all that I begin is Yours
every prize I win is Yours
at your feet again, i'm Yours
all I am is Yours
all I am is wanting You
i've fallen down and I can't seem to come to
if I shoud die before I wake
I commend my soul into this ache
up above the world so high
where the water tends to meet the sky
She's all i'm after by the toe
and I won't let go
and I wanted you to know
that if you reap what you would sew
I would take it blow by blow
all I am is...
Yours
and the saddest eyes are
Yours
and the softest skin is
Yours
and the hope I borrow is
Yours
so won't you let me in, i'm Yours
all that I begin is Yours
every prize I win is Yours
at your feet again, i'm Yours
all I am is Yours
Yours
