It's cold, oh it's cold
Build fire to keep our bones warm
The stars are brighter
The stars much higher
Than I recall
Than I recall
But fear we not
Fear no more
Soon we will, soon we'll be home
The air is different
It's thinner than before
The things I see here
We don't see them back home
The water crashing
Waves dancing along the shore
Along the shore
But fear we not
Fear no more
Soon we'll be, soon we'll be home
No more noise
No more tears
Soon we'll be, soon we'll be home
Home
The search must be over now
We'll call this place our home
Get food and shelter
And new ways to carry on
We'll go on growing
And loving like we should
Just keep on living
The worst is over
So fear we not
Fear is gone
Here we've made, here we've made home
No more noise
No more tears
Here we've found, here we've found...
Home

Well I know what I want so I strive
A double dose of what I'm loving most and baby I ride
I didn't get what I came here for 'cause I'm not full
Give it up, give it up, give it up
I'm diving in for more
And I know what I want so I strive.
And I think that we all want to be happy
Well I know it's there just a little out of reach and I can't sleep
A little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of love, a little bit of you, a little bit of me
I know I didn't get what I came here for 'cause I'm not full
Give it up, give it up, give it up
I'm diving in for more
And I think that we all want be
Hell, I know that we all want to be happy
Know that life is oh so short
We have time not to wait, no
So give all you could ever give
And take all you can take
Once and only once we play
So I spread this disease
Pushing, fighting, always wanting
Wanting always to be
Happy
(...And I think that we all want to be, hell, I know that we all want to be...)
Happy
Gonna be happy
You wait you see
I'm gonna be happy
Don't you wanna be happy?
Come be happy with me, said
All I'm gonna be
All I gotta be
All I wanna be is happy
Happy
Gonna be happy
With me

Through a chamber of glass and into the air
This hazy sanctuary, surround myself and dare
Breath deep the smell of earth and pine see what we may find
Sift through ashes for good left behind
Pungent yet sweet, how can one describe?
Sift through ashes for good left behind
Oh, these purples and greens and reds all throughout
Bring life to a life that could not be without
Oh, these purples and greens bring a smile to me
And it frees these thoughts that create this beauty
Sifting through the ashes for what little we may find
Sift through the ashes for the good left behind
Open up the caches for a little piece of mine
Amid the grey, among the gloom, along the way and right on time
Always almost right on time
So turn down the lights and turn up the heat
Lay your head back and kick up your feet
When Mary is near, no anger or tears
It's only good vibes and blue skies
And all seems so clear
When Mary is near

Far Too Young

No more pain
Never too young to go
For you I pray
You and your heart of gold
Oh you shall find your way
Never too young
It burdens me to say
Mother lost her son
But no, no we're never gonna figure it out, can't figure it out
How are we to do without?
You know the world keeps spinning around and somehow
I know we're never gonna figure it out
If only but a dream
Dreams never felt so pure
As wicked as it seems
Dreaming dreams I've never dreamt before
But no, no we're never gonna figure it out, can't figure it out
How are we to do without?
You know the world it keeps spinning around and somehow
No, we're never gonna figure it out
No, it never really filled me doubt, never filled me with doubt
It only gave me something new to think about
And if you thought you knew then, you ought to know now
No, we're never gonna figure it out
You know we're never gonna figure it out
No more pain
No more pain
No we're never gonna figure it out, can't figure it out
How are we to do without?
You know the world keeps spinning around and somehow
No, we're never gonna figure it out
(No, we're never gonna figure it out)
Through the days, through the nights, we will never know why
But the pieces of the puzzle they do not fit right
Never gonna figure, never, never gonna figure it out.

Every time... Every time that I fall asleep... Every time... There's this reoccurring dream. Oh, I'm halfway there, got my eyes set right on the clouds until that dark, dark sky opens wide and lets that rain pour down. Maybe I'm afraid of what I may find behind my mind as the clouds collect, but all they do is block the shine. Every time...
So I'm making my way further into this dreamscape. I must say that I've seen better days. Well, the scene is set and the grass is tall, the hills they roll on and on and all those scarecrows are watching and laughing and telling me I am so, so wrong for being here.
Though the trail I set, oh it melts right in front of me, I avoid all that's straight ahead because I do not want to be free. No I don't want to go. Maybe I want to know. I want to see everything, oh yeah! So leave it up to me to take an eerie road and fall myself into a dream.
And now I feel my feet they are glued to the ground. The scarecrows leap from their posts and they start to surround. With nowhere to run and nowhere to go, within this dream it seems I am losing control.
Within this dream it seems I am losing control...

Only the Moon

Well, I will go wherever she lets me go
To a starlit hour
'Til the world is ours
As we lay on this bed of satin
Two hearts held close by passion
We both, we both, well we want more to happen
But we know there's always somebody watching
And I will go wherever she lets me go
To a starlit hour
'Til the world is ours
Through the days into the nights and on to the sleep
Right from the love that you swore you would forever keep
And up from the young into the wise but never, never weak
Let us slide away far to a place only the moon can see
Love through the changing days
Soon enough we will clear of this haze
We both, we both, how we fear to say
That we know there's always somebody watching
And I will go wherever she lets me go
To a starlit hour
'Til the world is ours
Through the days into the nights and on to the sleep
Right from those words that I swore I would forever keep
And up from the young into the wise but never the weak
Let us slide away far to a place only the moon can see
Through the days into the nights and on to the sleep
Right from those words that you swore you would forever keep
And up from the young into the wise but never the weak
Let us slide away far to a place only the moon can see
As we lay under these stars so bright
Soon enough, oh this love will take flight
Although, although it'd be one hell of a sight
Now we know only the moon will be watching
Through the days into the nights and on to the sleep
Right from the love that we swore we would forever keep
And up from the young into the wise but never the weak
Let us slide away far to a place only the moon can see

I will lay you down
You know what I mean when you're with me
I'll give you something to be about
What was it that I did that got you feeling like this?
You know what I mean when you're with me
I'll give you something to brag about
I can be your man
I can be your king
I can be your soldier
Well I can be your everything
First you open up you and I'll let you know what I like
But you can't deny love is right
And the way you spread your wings
You fly baby, fly behind those eyes
Moving me you do it so smoothly seduce me you fool me
Oh, open up you
Well now let me know I'm the best you've seen
Yeah, you open up you
Well now let me let you feel me in between
I can be your heart
I can be your soul
I can be that diamond ring on your finger that 24 carat gold
Open up you
Baby come close and listen
And I'll show you what your missing
And the way you're switching got me itching and wishing we were
Kissing and loving and rubbing and touching and hugging
And feeling and sweating and dripping
Hell, baby, open up you
Let me know I'm the best you've seen
Yeah, you open up you
And let me let you feel me in between you
And we can take a ride wherever you must go
And then I hope you can decide
Which way you really want to roll
You open up you
Yeah you open up you
And all you got to do is let me slide right on through
Yeah, you open up you
Open up you

The Making of a Ghost

Oh let a miracle come
However it please
Thank you my love
For simply being
Oh it's a shame
A shame you must go
But I know when you do
Where I belong
Oh so I wait
And I watch and I wait and I hope
And I may see the making of your ghost
I'll find the time to fulfill your dreams
And if you had more time
Then you could see
Oh my love you've gone away
And I could not bare the thought of a better place
Oh, and I dream I dream I dream big
Oh, and I'll not forget the light you bring
Oh, and I watch and I wait so close
And I may see the making of your ghost
Oh, with nothing left you will dry your eyes
With nothing left, this is our last goodbye
Oh, there's nothing to do no, there's nothing to say
Except the times that we shared they were great
Nothing to do, nothing to give
Oh, I'll not forget the life you have lived
And I watch and I wait and I hope
And I may see the making of your ghost
Oh, well I'll find the time to fulfill your dreams
And if you had more time
Then you could see
