Lyrics of the moment

This is a good song for today.
Patti Smith, Going Under-->
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing again
Let's go under where the sun beams
Let's go under my friend
Are we sleeping
Are we dreaming
Are we dancing again
Is it heaven
Crack it open
And we'll slide down
Its stream
We can hold on (I'm sure)
To the sea's foaming mane
It will serve us
We'll surface
And we'll plunge back again
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
There's no burning where the sun beams
Oh it's such a lovely game
Does the sea dream (I'm sure)
We are here, we attend
We are bells on the shore
Where the tolling suspends
Who will decide the shape of things?
The shift of being
Who will perceive
When life is new
Shall we divide and become another
Who is due for gift upon gift
Who will decide
Shall we swim over and over
The curve of a wing
Its destination ever changing
Sun is rising on the water
Light is dancing like a flame
Let's go waltzing on the water
Let's go under again
Let's go under
Going under&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh war is the common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

Hello, yea it's been awhile
Not much, how 'bout you
I'm not sure why I called
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you ...
And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for awhile
It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile ...
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight ....*********************************************************************************************0 -
I'm not talking 'bout moving in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing, the stars are out
And I really love to see you tonight
We could go walking through a windy park
Take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see it really doesn't matter much to me ....
And I really love to see you tonight, babe*********************************************************************************************0 -
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Then she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
Wish you were here...

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now ...
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life ...
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight ...*********************************************************************************************0 -
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am*********************************************************************************************0 -
I don't know why I'm so afraid of you
You're so easier to talk to
And I can see my mother's arms
Reaching down to console me
She's singing don't worry,
being let down is easy
don't worry...
don't worry...
don't worry...
...it's easyTres Mts- 3/16/2011

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.
Wish you were here...

To you I'm just a memory
Something lost among the leaves
Something found along the way
And so begin these empty pages
At the end of a dream
Watch it slowly fade away
The slight of hand the bait and switch
All the parlor tricks have been played on me
I've seen them come and watched them go
Into the night down a road of stone
Beware, oh take care
I guess it takes a thief to know one
And liars live for broken things
Traitors just smile and smile
The actor has his black mirror
The poet a poison throne
To rule his kingdom alone
But I'm still singing the blues
Dancing that old soft shoe
I'm still drift'n from cloud to cloud
Never looking to come down
From hell to high water
Over that angel bridge
Out into the wilderness
Beware, oh take careDAL-7/5/98,10/17/00,6/9/03,11/15/13

Star crossed lonely sailor
You been out to sea too long
There’s no love to save you
When your weather has gone wrong
So you set a course for nothingness
From back from where you came
Where sirens sing a song of love
To remind you of your pain
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
Silent lighthouse keeper
With your fire burning bright
Ever constant vigil for lost mariners in the night
In the solitude of misty moods
You talk only to the waves
Who lend an ear while you disappear
Into the dark from which you came
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from here
Tearful grey eyed captain
Blows his lonely horn
His albatross above him
While his crew sleeps safe and warm
Set adrift through murky black
Where the moon is out to play
Where only those pure of heart can find their way today
We all have storms on our horizon
And we all feel the sun
When it begins rising
And we all follow love
Even when it misguides us
But we can’t see the light from hereDAL-7/5/98,10/17/00,6/9/03,11/15/13

You say I seem so grim. Darling do you forgive me
I went out on a limb 'cause I needed to be
Near the fireflies flying high above me
Then I hit the sky and it fell down on me
You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face
You know I bite my nails, my skin and my fingers
And I've heard that's my liver, my nerves and my brain
I said I just like to bite on my fucking fingers
Do you have another intelligent answer for me today
You said it wasn't sharp but I cut my finger
You said it just wouldn't burn and I scarred my face
You said it just wasn't there when it fell down on me
Well I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I lost my trust in you
You were dangerous and scary
And you poisoned me with the fruits everyone was intrigued by
And I finally got buried
You said I won't forget and I don't remember and
You said I'm something I'm not and I fell on my face
You said I wouldn't rot but worms are crawling on me
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say
I'm just a son of a bitch no matter what you say

I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her six feet under
And I can still hear her complain
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Oo, yeah
But I had to kill her
I knew I'd miss her
So I had to keep her
She's buried right in my backyard
Oh yeah, Oo yeah, whoa, oh yeah
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
She bitched so much, She drove me nuts
And now I'm happier this way, yeah
Whoa, oh yeah
I used to love her
But I had to kill her
I used to love her, Mm, yeah
But I had to kill her
I had to put her, Oo, six feet under
And I can still hear her complain0 -
It brings a tear,
Into my eyes,
When I begin,
To realize,
I've cried so much,
Since you've been gone,
I guess I'm drowning in my own tears,
I sit and cry,
Just like a child
My pouring tears
Are runnin' wild
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
I know it's true
Into each life
Some rain, rain must pour
I'm so blue
Here without you
It keeps raining
More and more
Why don't you
Come on home
Oh yes so I won't
Be all alone
If you don't think
You'll be home soon
I guess I'll
(drown in my own tears)
Ooh, don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
When I'm in trouble, baby
(drown in my own tears)
Oh, yeah, baby don't let me
(drown in my own tears)
I guess I'll drown in my own tears
Oh, mmmmm.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say0 -

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothing I try to do can work the same way
Any time it happened I'd get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend
When I breakdown ...*********************************************************************************************0 -
When you wake up, turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song ....
That I made up, that I made up for you ...
When you're driving, ... Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days - To get my message through
If time is all I have - .... I'll waste it all on you .....
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space ....
Of silences keeping me awake .....
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name .....*********************************************************************************************0 -
When you marry, And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd ....Torn up, that it isn't me
When you're older, The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live .....
But if time is all I have ....I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name
But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Won't you say my name
When the song is over ...*********************************************************************************************0 -
This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're goneCancel my subscription to the Ressurection

And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I dont wanna know ....
I begin not to love you
turn around,see me runnin ...
I said I loved you years ago
telling myself you never loved me ....
no..
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I dont wanna know
oh no..
And Can you tell me was it worth it
really, I dont wanna know ...
Time cast its spell on you
but you wont forget me
I know I could've loved you
but you would not let me
I'll follow you down to the sound
of my voice that haunts you ....
you'll never get away from the
sound of the woman that loves you....
