    Only love can make it rain
    The way the beach is kissed by the sea
    Only love can make it rain
    Like the sweat of lovers' laying in the fields

    Love, Reign o'er me
    Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me, reign o'er me

    Only love can bring the rain
    That makes you yearn to the sky
    Only love can bring the rain
    That falls like tears from on high

    Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
    Love, reign o'er me, rain on me, reign o'er me

    On the dry and dusty road
    The nights we spend apart alone
    I need to get back home to cool cool rain

    I can't sleep and I lay and I think
    The nights are hot and black as ink
    Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

    Love, reign o'er me, rain on me
    Oh love, reign o'er me, reign on me

    Wish you were here...

    the direction of the eye
    so misleading
    the defection of the soul
    nauseously quick

    I don't question
    our existence
    I just question
    our modern needs

    I will walk...with my hands bound
    I will walk...with my face blood
    I will walk...with my shadow flag
    into your garden
    garden of stone

    after all is done
    we're still alone
    I won't be taken
    yet I'll go...

    I will walk...with my hands bound
    I will walk...with my face blood
    I will walk...with my shadow flag
    into your garden
    garden of stone

    I don't show...
    I don't share...
    I don't need
    what you have to give...

    Wish you were here...

    I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
    But I knew that it would come
    An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
    She said you found someone
    And I thought of all the bad luck,
    And the struggles we went through
    And how I lost me and you lost you
    What are these voices outside love's open door
    Make us throw off our contentment
    And beg for something more?

    I'm learning to live without you now
    But I miss you sometimes
    The more I know, the less I understand
    All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
    I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
    But my will gets weak
    And my thoughts seem to scatter
    But I think it's about forgiveness
    Forgiveness
    Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

    These times are so uncertain
    There's a yearning undefined
    ...People filled with rage
    We all need a little tenderness
    How can love survive in such a graceless age
    The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
    They're the very things we kill, I guess
    Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
    And the work I put between us,
    Doesn't keep me warm

    I'm learning to live without you now
    But I miss you, Baby
    The more I know, the less I understand
    All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
    I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
    But everything changes
    And my friends seem to scatter
    But I think it's about forgiveness
    Forgiveness
    Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

    There are people in your life who've come and gone
    They let you down and hurt your pride
    Better put it all behind you; life goes on
    You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

    I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
    But my will gets weak
    And my thoughts seem to scatter
    But I think it's about forgiveness
    Forgiveness
    Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

    I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
    Because the flesh will get weak
    And the ashes will scatter
    So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
    Forgiveness
    Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

    Wish you were here...

    I'm sorry baby but you can't stand in my light anymore
    You're moving back to the shadows
    I can't fight this anymore.

    I tried to heal you and I tried to fix you
    I tried to show you compassion
    I tried to listen, I tried to love you even though you were broken.

    I let you get up close to me, I let you feel the warm and the calm
    And you resisted, it took me time to notice
    But now I see the shadows as they fall.

    I always find the broken ones, what does this say about me?
    Maybe I'm the broken one, maybe when the lights go down
    Maybe I'm the one who feels lonely.

    I'm sorry baby but you can't stand in my light anymore
    You're moving back to the shadows
    I can't fight you anymore.

    Hate to leave you standing in the corner on your own
    But you can't feel the sun unless you open up your heart, yeah
    Oh, I'm sorry baby.

    This is the dawning of our time I say it one more time
    to emphasize the meaning of my rhyme
    to rise above all the dirt and grime
    add the right spice at the right time
    f.u.c.k. the constitution
    are we part of the solution or are we part of the pollution
    sittin' by and wonderin' why,
    things ain't the way we like to find them to be, to be
    for you and for me the people over there and the ones in between
    check our habitation are we a peace lovin' nation
    peace lovin' nation
    I have a reasonable doubt I think I'll just spell it out
    there's no need to scream or to shout


    Peace

    Remember when I said I won't miss you?
    The truth is that I do
    I never stop thinkin' about you (about you)
    We are meant together
    The two of us abound
    Now it seems like forever I can't get you off my mind

    If I could wish upon a star
    Then I would hold you in my arms (in my arms)
    And I know we could love once again (we could love again)
    If I could turn the hands of time
    Then you would love me still be mine (mine)
    Baby I would be right where you are (where you are)
    If I could wish upon a star

    It’s obvious and everyone can see
    That baby you and I are truly meant to be
    But nothing turns out right (nothing turns out right)
    If only I could make you realize
    If only time could (give us just another chance)
    I'd prove it all to you

    If I could wish upon a star
    If I could turn the hands of time
    Then I’d be in your arms again

    If I could wish upon a star
    Then I would hold you in my arms (in my arms)
    And I know we could love once again (we could love again)
    If I could turn the hands of time
    Then you would love me still be mine (mine)
    Baby I would be right where you are (where you are)
    If I could wish upon a star

    If I could wish upon a star.

    Wish you were here...

    The first time ever I saw your face
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
    To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
    To the dark and the empty skies.

    The first time ever I kissed your mouth
    And felt your heart beat close to mine
    Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
    That was there at my command, my love
    That was there at my command.

    And the first time ever I lay with you
    I felt your heart so close to mine
    And I knew our joy would fill the earth
    And last till the end of time my love
    It would last till the end of time my love

    The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
    your face, your face

    Wish you were here...

    Good Ol' Neil... can't get him out of my head today :)

    When we were living together
    I thought that
    I knew you would stay.
    Still when you left me
    I tried to pretend
    we could make it some way.

    I don't care
    if all of the mountains
    Turn to dust in the air.
    (What did you do to my life?)
    It isn't fair that I should
    Wake up at dawn
    And not find you there
    (What did you do to my life?)

    It's hard enough losing
    Without the confusion
    of knowing I tried.
    But you've made your mind up
    That I'll be alone
    now there's nothing to hide.

    I don't care
    if all of the mountains
    Turn to dust in the air.
    (What did you do to my life?)
    It isn't fair that I should
    Wake up at dawn
    And not find you there
    (What did you do to my life?)

    Diamonds hold mirrors
    And spoon it holds the stars
    It's been a long time baby
    Since i've seen the sun rise like this
    Make a wish and call it maybe
    And give me one more kiss
    Ooh, I like it like this
    Ooh, I like it like this

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know now
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine
    What will we do?

    It's the dreaming through the come down
    Still filling every tape
    Come on and touch me baby
    Before I turn to rust
    I know there ain't no other
    It's not a matter of trust
    It's just sometimes love ain't enough
    Ooh, love ain't enough

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know now
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine

    What will we do?

    For a while I was kneeling in tears and powder
    For as well I was strung out beyond my means
    Well I lost that love while climbing down the ladder
    Just looking for the song to set me free

    Waited for redemption
    No leaving love behind
    You've got to know where you wanna be
    It gets cold outside
    It's too late to play it safe
    So let's let it all ride
    Yeah, let's let it all ride
    Let it all ride!

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know now
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine
    What will we do?
    Yeah

    Oh josephine
    Youre dressed in black
    Oh josephine
    Your eyes are blue
    And I know, I know
    There's no turning back
    Oh josephine
    What will we do?

    If I leave here tomorrow
    Would you still remember me?
    For I must be traveling on, now
    'Cause there's too many places
    I've got to see

    But, if I stayed here with you, girl
    Things just couldn't be the same
    'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird, you'll can not change
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    And the bird you cannot change
    And this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows, I can?t change
    Bye, bye, baby it's been a sweet love

    Yeah, yeah
    Though this feeling I can't change
    But please don't take it so badly
    'Cause the Lord knows
    I'm to blame

    But, if I stayed here with you girl
    Things just couldn't be the same
    'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird, you'll can not change
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    And this bird you cannot change
    And this bird you cannot change
    Lord knows, I can't change
    Lord help me, I can't change
    Lord I can't change

    Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?

    Wish you were here...

    "Black and White"

    Could be clear black and white
    Make a decision
    Got a need inside and I don't know why
    It's a strong feeling that grows and grows

    One day - my life is out the door
    Next day - you show me what it's for
    One day - I think I know myself
    Next day - you leave me on the shelf

    New moment goes like this
    Never forbidden
    There's nothing to stop
    The thief on time, stealing
    The hours that keep you away

    It rushes through my veins
    Straight to my head
    My mind is a planet
    For you to roam

    This is only just the start
    It's the beginning
    There's nothing to stop
    The thief of time
    Stealing the hours
    That keep you away

    One day - my life is out the door
    Next day - you show me what it's for
    One day - I think I know myself
    Next day - you leave me on the shelf

    In this house I call home
    Living together
    Got a need inside
    And I don't know why
    It's a strong
    Feeling and it grows and grows

    One day - my life is out the door
    Next day - you show me what it's for
    One day - I think I know myself
    Next day - you leave me on the shelf

    This is only just the start
    It's the beginning

    New moment goes like this
    Never forbidden

    Could be clear black and white
    Make a decision

    She submits and she dominates
    She gets out of her head
    And she talks to the ceiling

    "Don't Change"

    I'm standing here on the ground
    The sky above won't fall down
    See no evil in all direction
    Resolution of happiness
    Things have been dark
    For too long

    Don't change for you
    Don't change a thing for me

    I found a love I had lost
    It was gone for too long
    Hear no evil in all directions
    Execution of bitterness
    Message received loud and clear

    Don't change for you
    Don't change a thing for me

    I'm standing here on the ground
    The sky above won't fall down
    See no evil in all directions
    Resolution of happiness
    Things have been dark for too long

    Don't change for you
    Don't change a thing for me

    "Beautiful Girl"

    Nicky's in the corner
    With a black coat on
    Running from a bad home
    With some cat inside

    Now where did you find her
    Among the neon lights
    That haunt the streets outside
    Stay with me

    Beautiful girl (stay with me)
    Beautiful girl (stay with me)
    She wants to go home

    From doorway to doorway
    Street corner to corner
    With the neon ghosts in the city
    And she says

    Stay with me
    Stay with me
    Stay with me
    Stay with me

    She's so scared
    So very frightened
    Anything could happen
    Right here tonight

    Beautiful girl (stay with me)
    Beautiful girl (stay with me)
    She wants to go home

    Stay with me (beautiful girl)

    Song from 1992 on our state of BULLYING in our country and everywhere else....

    *Language Of Violence*.....Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy...Michael Franti

    The first day of school was always the hardest
    The first day of school the hallways the darkest
    Like a gauntlet
    the voices haunted
    Walking in with his thin skin lowered chin
    He knew the names that they would taunt him with
    Faggot sissy punk queen queer
    Although he'd never had sex in his 15 years
    And when they harassed him it was for a reason
    And when they provoked him it became open season
    for the fox and the hunter, the sparks and the thunder
    that pushed the boy under, then pillage and plunder
    It kind of makes you wonder
    how one can hurt another
    But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler
    It's like breathing with a respirator
    It eases the conscience of even the most conscious
    and calculating violator
    Words can reduce a person to an object,
    something more easy to hate
    An inanimate entity, completely disposable,
    no problem to obliterate

    But death is the silence
    in this language of violence
    Death is the silence
    But death is the silence
    in this cycle of violence
    death is the silence
    It's tough to be young, the young long to be tougher
    When we pick on someone else it might make us feel rougher
    Abused by their fathers but was at home though
    so to prove to each other that they were not homos
    The exclamation of the phobic fury
    executioner, a judge and jury
    The mob mentality, individuality was nowhere
    Dignity forgotten at the bottom of a dumb old dare and a numb cold
    stare
    On the way home it was back to name calling
    Ten against one they had his back up against the wall and
    they reveled in their laughter as they surrounded him
    But it wasn't a game when they up jumped and grounded him
    They picked up their bats with their muscles straining
    and they decided they were gonna beat this fella's brain in
    with an awful, powerful, showerful, an hour full of violence
    Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance
    They didn't hear him screaming, they didn't hear him pleading
    They ran like cowards and left the boy bleeding
    in a pool of red 'til all tears were shed
    and his eyes quietly slid into the back of his head
    dead...

    I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
    When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
    in a big field of tall grass :D
    I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

    And I fell asleep and dreamed
    I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
    And that I was the star of the movie
    This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
    an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
    should be the star of a Hollywood movie

    But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
    I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
    In front of every kind of girl, there was
    black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

    Out of the middle came a lady
    She whispered in my ear something crazy
    She said:

    Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

    As kids, my sister and I always sang the words "spill the wine, dig that girl" in that song. I guess that was wrong. :? :D

    To see you when I wake up is a gift I didn't think could be real
    To know that you feel the same as I do is a three-fold utopian dream
    You do something to me
    That I can't explain
    So, would I be out of line if I said I miss you?
    I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine
    You have only been gone ten days, but already I am wasting away
    I know I'll see you again
    Whether far or soon
    But I need you to know that I care
    And I miss you.
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    i've got our love to remember
    that will never change
    i have you in my head
    and no, i'll never hold you
    and i'm still asking why
    i guess that this is goodbye

    my dreams suddenly seem so empty
    i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
    and for what feels like the first time
    i don't know where you are tonight
    i guess that this is goodbye

    we lived half our lives together
    a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
    and the sun, it may be shining
    there's an ocean in my eyes
    cause i know that this is goodbye
    cause i know that this.. is goodbye

    **I never thought I'd relate to this one**

    All this talk of getting old
    It's getting me down my love
    Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
    This time I'm comin' down

    And I hope you're thinking of me
    As you lay down on your side
    Now the drugs don't work
    They just make you worse
    But I know I'll see your face again

    Now the drugs don't work
    They just make you worse
    But I know I'll see your face again

    But I know I'm on a losing streak
    'Cause I passed down my old street
    And if you wanna show, then just let me know
    And I'll sing in your ear again

    Now the drugs don't work
    They just make you worse
    But I know I'll see your face again

    'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
    Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

    All this talk of getting old
    It's getting me down my love
    Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
    This time I'm comin' down

    Now the drugs don't work
    They just make you worse
    But I know I'll see your face again

    'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
    Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

    But if you wanna show, just let me know
    And I'll sing in your ear again

    Now the drugs don't work
    They just make you worse
    But I know I'll see your face again

    Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
    Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
    Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
    Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

    I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
    No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
    I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
    No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

    It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

    It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
    Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
    Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
    time to time.

    Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
    I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
    But I know that I love you so

    These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
    This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
    This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall...It's just a little rain...

    First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes
    She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
    She was a stranger I had known for years
    She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears

    The two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer


    Time it slowly drips into the past, into the past
    And finds a home where all echoes rest, where echoes rest
    She softly kissed my mind, my mind, and whispered
    what will we do with time, do
    with time

    The two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer

    Am I the man I choose to be, choose to be,
    Or just the man I used to be, used to be
    Am I the man I want to be, I want to be
    this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me

    The two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer
    Together like the two hands of a prayer

    i've got our love to remember
    that will never change
    i have you in my head
    and no, i'll never hold you
    and i'm still asking why
    i guess that this is goodbye

    my dreams suddenly seem so empty
    i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
    and for what feels like the first time
    i don't know where you are tonight
    i guess that this is goodbye

    we lived half our lives together
    a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
    and the sun, it may be shining
    there's an ocean in my eyes
    cause i know that this is goodbye
    cause i know that this.. is goodbye

    I was probably listening to this song right at around the same time you posted this. weird.

    Mike and I just started playing this one. good stuff.
    Peace, Love.

    Does she blend well?
    Your choice, I mean?
    Your angel baby monkey girl
    The gift of smiles and love production
    Her sunshine mind
    Her storm cloud eyes
    Blending colors into brown
    Confusing emotions - deliberately
    Does it hurt you?
    To love, I mean?

    And all the creases in your brow?
    The red bed spread?
    The storm vibrations?

    The starless nights?
    The shattered screen?

    Allowing pain to enter
    Let your guard/God down obviously

    I will try to find you
    No matter where you may go

    It will try to find you
    No matter who you may know

    Does it hurt you?
    To love, I mean?
    Peace, Love.

    I'm gonna make a mistake-
    I'm gonna do it on purpose
    I'm gonna waste my time
    'cause I'm full as a tick
    And I'm scratching at the surface
    And what I find is mine
    And when the day is done, and I look back
    And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around
    All the advice I shunned, and I ran
    Where they told me not to run, but I sure
    Had fun, so
    I'm gonna fuck it up again
    I'm gonna do another detour
    Unpave my path
    And if you wanna make sense
    Whatcha looking at me for
    I'm no good at math
    And when I find my way back,
    The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
    I've acquired quite a taste
    For a well-made mistake
    I wanna mistake why can't I make a mistake?
    I'm always doing what I think I should
    Almost always doing everybody good
    Why-
    Do I wanna do right, of course but
    Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to
    Answer you, hell no
    I've acquired quite a taste
    For a well-made mistake, I wanna
    Make a mistake, why can't I make a mistake
    I'm always doing what I think I should
    Almost always doing everybody good
    Why-

    Line on your face don't bother me
    Down in my chair when you dance over me
    I can't help myself
    I've got to see you again

    Late in the night when I'm all alone
    And I look at the clock and I know you're not home
    I can't help myself

    I've got to see you again
    I could almost go there
    Just to watch you be seen
    I could almost go there
    Just to live in a dream

    But no I won't go for any of those things
    To not touch your skin is not why I sing
    I can't help myself
    I've got to see you again

    I could almost go there....
    Just to watch you be seen
    I could almost go there
    Just to live in a dream

    No I won't go to share you with them
    But oh even though I know where you've been
    I can't help myself
    I've got to see you again

    If one could
    Stop time, or make it up
    If two could realize the best of luck
    If I could locate a god above
    And you only wanted to be loved
    Then I'd try to hang on to the past
    But you know that nothing, oh no nothing lasts

    Nothing lasts .....It's time to
    Move on, let the past go
    I waited for you here, but you never showed
    Although I asked you to let me know
    I only felt a cold wind blow
    While I tried to hang on to the past
    But you know that nothing, oh no nothing lasts

    Nothing's in your way
    Now you can stand right up and run
    Wouldn't even change things
    If you took back what you've done
    I have tried to hang on to the past
    But I couldn't keep my grasp, cause nothing lasts

    Nothing lasts
    Nothing lasts

    Look at your young men fighting
    Look at your women crying
    Look at your young men dying
    The way they've always done before


    Look at the hate we're breeding
    Look at the fear we're feeding
    Look at the lives we're leading
    The way we've always done before


    My hands are tied
    The billions shift from side to side
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
    For the love of God and our human rights
    And all these things are swept aside
    By bloody hands time can't deny
    And are washed away by your genocide
    And history hides the lies of our civil wars
