when I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
and all that I saw want to give you
It's only a heartbeat away
when I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
miles and miles of empty space in between us
the telephone can't take the place of your smile
but you know I won't be traveling' forever
it's cold out, but hold out, and do like I do
when I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
and all that I saw wanna give you babe
it's only a heartbeat away
it's not easy when the road is your driver
honey that's a heavy load that we bear
but you know I won't be traveling a lifetime
it's cold out but hold out and do like I do
oh, I need you
when I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night and day
when I need you
I just close my eyes
and you're right here by my side
keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hands
I just hold out my hand
and I'm with you darling'
yes, I'm with you darling'
all I wanna give you
it's only a heartbeat away
oh I need you darling ....
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
Oh please let it rain today. This city's so filthy. Like my mind in ways.
Oh it was the time. Like a clean new taste.
Smiling eyes before me and tears from my face.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
Sin for sale. Buying just a need. O who planted all the devils seeds?
And what's the truth? And the truth that lies at home.
It's on the inside and I can't get it off. Yeah.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love, yeah.
What's clean is pure. But hey, I'm white on the outside. Though I stray.
What she don't know today might kill us both tomorrow. Bring it back someway.
Bring it back, back, back... to the clean form. To the pure form.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love.
Wash my love. Wash my love. Wash my love. Yeah
Wash my ...wash my...wash my love....yeaaaaaaahhhhhhh
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Underneath this smile lies everything
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame
make yourself a pact, not to shut doors on the past
just for today,... I am free
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well,...
I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin
breathing insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight
pursuing the greater way for all,... human light.
How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.
How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.
I will not lose my faith
It's an inside job today
Holding on, the light of night
On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again.
Let me run into the rain
To be a human light again
Let me run into the rain
To shine a human light today
Life comes from within your heart and desire
Life comes from within my heart and desire
Life comes from within your heart and desire
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
If you want to live
Treat me good
If you want to live, live
I beg you treat me good
I'm like a walking razor
Don't you watch my size
I'm dangerous
Said I'm dangerous......

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes [x2]
You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes
We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
Everything I have found dear
I've not found by myself
Try and sometimes you'll succeed
To make this man of me
All my stolen missing parts
I've no need for anymore
I believe
And I believe cause I can see
Our future days
Days of you and me
Back when I was feeling broken
I focused on a prayer
You came deep as any ocean
Did something out there hear?
All the complexities and games
No one wins but somehow they're still played
All the missing crooked hearts
They may die but in us they live on
I believe
And I believe cause I can see
Our future days
Days of you and me
When hurricanes and cyclones raged
When winds turned dirt to dust
When floods they came or tides they raised
Ever closer became us
All the promises at sundown
I've meant them like the rest
All the demons used to come round
I'm grateful now they've left
So persistent in my ways
Hey Angel I am here to stay
No resistance, no alarms
Please, this is just too good to be gone
I believe
And I believe cause I can see
Our future days
Days of you an me
You and me
Days,...
You and me

In the medieval night
'Twas love's design
And the sky was open
like a Valentine
All the lacy lights
Where wishes fall
And like Shakespeare's child
I wished on them all
Ahh to be your destiny
was all that I pursued
I could see the sights
from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view
I was looking for you
Looking for you
What could I do
I was looking for you
Along the black river
The ambassador jewels
And you were reflected
in all that I saw
In the towers of gold
In the wheel and wing
Gripping my senses
like an ancient claim
Many is the time I knelt in the light
appealing to all that I know
Guide my eyes and steps
that I may find love true
[Refrain]
Come on darlin'
All that hearts desire
was written before us
In the medieval fire
It was love's design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare's child
To be where you are
From the Portobello Road
To the Port of Marseilles
Where the dervish turns
Where the wild goats play
You could be my silver spring....
Blue-green..colors flashin'
I would be your only dream.....
Your shinin' autumn....ocean crashin'....
Don't say that she's pretty....
and did you say that she loves you...?
Baby I don't wanna know.
So I'll begin not to love you...
Turn around, you'll see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago...
And tell myself you never loved me....No......
Don't say that she's pretty....
And did you say that she loves you...?
Baby, I don't wanna know....Oh no.....
And can you tell me...was it worth it....?
Baby, I don't wanna know..
Time cast a spell on you...you won't forget me...
I know I could've loved you but you would not let me....
Time cast a spell on you...but you won't forget me...
(I was such a fool)
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me..
(Give me one more chance)
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you..
(Haunt you)
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you..
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

"The sky is painted black
The smoke pours out the stack
One hand upon your heart
One hand behind your back
You train us how to act
You keep the fear intact
The imminent attack
Everything is right on track"
I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules
I undeciphered tricks at the bar
But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war
I've figured out numbers and what they're for
I've understood feelings and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away?

Ours is just another skin
That simply slips away
You can rise above it
It will shed easily
It all will come out fine
I've learned it line by line
One common wire
One silver thread
All that you desire
Rolls on ahead
Like a ship in a bottle
Held up to the sun
Sails ain't going nowhere
You can count every one
Until it crashes unto the
earth
And simply slips away
You can hide in the open
Or just disappear
Ours is just a craving
And a twist of the wrist
Will undo the stopper
With abrupt tenderness
Die little sparrow
And awake
Singing
It all will come out fine
I've learned it line by line
One common wire
One silver thread
All that you desire
Rolls on ahead
Sing a song of all that love can do
And I'll sing along
Sing it my whole life long
Tell a tale of all it's done to you
And that won't make you strong when all the hope is gone
When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself
Barely set the sunshine just for you
The rain never came, even on winter days
Now he says the dream was never true
He won't be the name, says he'll never be the same
When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself
When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I'm easy come and easy go,
Now you're not so carefree.
You found the thorn behind the rose,
You took it, oh, so badly.
Lost inside yourself,
You've gotta break out soon.
You've gotta try again,
To hear a brand new tune.
Oh yeah...
Once easy come and easy go,
You just hear sad notes lately.
You use to fly and chase the wind,
I don't know you lately.
Don't take it, oh, so bad,
Things are gonna change.
Don't make it, oh, so sad,
The sun will shine again.
Oh yeah...
Please don't lock me out,
What's it all about?
I'll change it all completely,
Won't you let me in,
Don't you need a friend?
If I can help, just call me.
I'm easy come and easy go,
Don't paint it all so sadly.
Before you know the light will shine,
Don't burn out completely.
Locked inside yourself,
You've gotta break out soon.
Come on and try again,
And hear a different tune.
Oh yeah...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I love you
From the bottom of my heart
And that's not gonna change
but things look grim
When I am watching you watch him
I give you
The best a man can hope to give
But I'm not feeling brave
chances are slim
When I am watching you watch him
Ohhh What is left to learn
When he would let you crash and burn
He never gives attention
but you still yearn
Where do I fit in
When I am watching you watch him
God only knows why I still wait around
Except I hate to see you cry
And I need you
But there are things I cannot do
I want you
When he's playing all his games
And it gets hard to tell who's the victim
When I am watching you watch him
And I love you
Like a broken record plays
But I'm a windowpane a phantom limb
When I am watching you watch him
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
So, take my love, take it down
Oh climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Oh oh, the landslide will bring it down
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
You're always saying that there's something wrong,...
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
There is a tree on Allenford
I drive by it each day on my way to and from work
And there are always flowers left there each day
Left for a child who died there
Or so that is what people say
But all I see
Looks back at me
Loved by someone, loved by someone
Loved by someone, loved by someone
And the golden thread of nature of this is
Simply that we are a part of everything
That will ever exist.
To be loved is why we've come.
Every drop of rain that fell or falls
Is always falling
On and on and on and on.
Come into me
And we'll always be
Loved by someone, loved by someone
Loved by someone, loved by someone
There's nothing that has ever been
That isn't loved
By someone who waits
To be loved again
Loved by someone, loved by someone
Loved by someone, loved by someone
and so we watch the sun come up
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head's on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we'll be here forever
and we'll never say goodbye...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

Baby I don't wanna know.
So I'll begin not to love you...
Turn around, you'll see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago...
And tell myself you never loved me....No......
Don't say that she's pretty....
And did you say that she loves you...?
Baby, I don't wanna know....Oh no.....
And can you tell me...was it worth it....?
Baby, I don't wanna know..
Time cast a spell on you...you won't forget me...
I know I could've loved you but you would not let me....
Time cast a spell on you...but you won't forget me...
(I was such a fool)
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me..
(Give me one more chance)
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you..
(Haunt you)
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you..
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
The smoke pours out the stack
One hand upon your heart
One hand behind your back
You train us how to act
You keep the fear intact
The imminent attack
Everything is right on track"
I have played games with pieces and rules
I undeciphered tricks at the bar
But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why
I've come up with riddles and jokes about war
I've figured out numbers and what they're for
I've understood feelings and I've understood words
But how could you be taken away?

Ours is just another skin
That simply slips away
You can rise above it
It will shed easily
It all will come out fine
I've learned it line by line
One common wire
One silver thread
All that you desire
Rolls on ahead
Like a ship in a bottle
Held up to the sun
Sails ain't going nowhere
You can count every one
Until it crashes unto the
earth
And simply slips away
You can hide in the open
Or just disappear
Ours is just a craving
And a twist of the wrist
Will undo the stopper
With abrupt tenderness
Die little sparrow
And awake
Singing
It all will come out fine
I've learned it line by line
One common wire
One silver thread
All that you desire
Rolls on ahead
Sing a song of all that love can do
And I'll sing along
Sing it my whole life long
Tell a tale of all it's done to you
And that won't make you strong when all the hope is gone
When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself
Barely set the sunshine just for you
The rain never came, even on winter days
Now he says the dream was never true
He won't be the name, says he'll never be the same
When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself
When it all goes wrong
It's such a different song
That you sing to yourself
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

i love the packers
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.
Wish you were here...

Now you're not so carefree.
You found the thorn behind the rose,
You took it, oh, so badly.
Lost inside yourself,
You've gotta break out soon.
You've gotta try again,
To hear a brand new tune.
Oh yeah...
Once easy come and easy go,
You just hear sad notes lately.
You use to fly and chase the wind,
I don't know you lately.
Don't take it, oh, so bad,
Things are gonna change.
Don't make it, oh, so sad,
The sun will shine again.
Oh yeah...
Please don't lock me out,
What's it all about?
I'll change it all completely,
Won't you let me in,
Don't you need a friend?
If I can help, just call me.
I'm easy come and easy go,
Don't paint it all so sadly.
Before you know the light will shine,
Don't burn out completely.
Locked inside yourself,
You've gotta break out soon.
Come on and try again,
And hear a different tune.
Oh yeah...
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
From the bottom of my heart
And that's not gonna change
but things look grim
When I am watching you watch him
I give you
The best a man can hope to give
But I'm not feeling brave
chances are slim
When I am watching you watch him
Ohhh What is left to learn
When he would let you crash and burn
He never gives attention
but you still yearn
Where do I fit in
When I am watching you watch him
God only knows why I still wait around
Except I hate to see you cry
And I need you
But there are things I cannot do
I want you
When he's playing all his games
And it gets hard to tell who's the victim
When I am watching you watch him
And I love you
Like a broken record plays
But I'm a windowpane a phantom limb
When I am watching you watch him
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I, I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too
So, take my love, take it down
Oh climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring you down, down
And If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
Oh oh, the landslide will bring it down
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
To buy a black diamond string
Gonna wind it up on my guitar
Gonna make that silver sing
Like it was Dreamville
A long time ago
A million miles away
All the trees were green
In Dreamville
I keep wakin' up all by myself
With a blue jay in my brain
Flappin' his wings
Makin' me sing
It was just about to rain
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
There is a tree on Allenford
I drive by it each day on my way to and from work
And there are always flowers left there each day
Left for a child who died there
Or so that is what people say
But all I see
Looks back at me
Loved by someone, loved by someone
Loved by someone, loved by someone
And the golden thread of nature of this is
Simply that we are a part of everything
That will ever exist.
To be loved is why we've come.
Every drop of rain that fell or falls
Is always falling
On and on and on and on.
Come into me
And we'll always be
Loved by someone, loved by someone
Loved by someone, loved by someone
There's nothing that has ever been
That isn't loved
By someone who waits
To be loved again
Loved by someone, loved by someone
Loved by someone, loved by someone
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head's on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we'll be here forever
and we'll never say goodbye...
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
