Lyrics of the moment

dimitrispearljam · January 2014

Has anyone ever written anything for you
In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know

Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song

And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world

Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know

So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world
Poet...priest of nothing
Poet...priest of nothing

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.

[CHORUS:]
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; It can't stop, I wonder.

[CHORUS]
Yeah!
[CHORUS]

Hallucinate in high fidelity
The pieces of a plan
Construction of the highest quality
The blood from my own hand

A line of lyric looping in my head
The body listening
It doesn’t really matter anymore
Yes it doesn’t mean a thing

I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away

An effigy so wondrous to behold
Statements so profound
A place to bury everything I did
And burn it to the ground

A fire illuminates the final scene
The past repeats itself
I cannot tell the difference anymore
I cannot trust myself

I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away

I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make it so hard?
Let me get away

I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here
I think I could lose myself in here

I’ve gotta let go
I’ve gotta get straight
Why’d you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away

Got to let him go
Found another way
Why’d you have to make this so hard?
Let me get away

(It starts with one)
One thing I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
(All I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It’s so unreal)
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

i need your grace

to remind me

to find my own...

dimitrispearljam · January 2014

How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

gimmesometruth27 · January 2014

say you will...

Something in you brought out something in me
that i've never been since
that part of me that was only for you
that kind of romance
comes only once, that kind of love
that kind of fever dance
that you love because you've become someone else
in an instant

Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance

Something in you put a hold on my heart
it's hard to believe now
here is a place that will never be dark
i remember that place
that kind of touch, electricity of love
that certain kind of grace
that you love because you become someone else
in an instant

Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance

Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance

Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance

Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance

Say you will, say you will give me one more chance
at least give me time to change your mind
that always seems to heal the wounds
if i can get you to dance

There in the wheat,
I heard you sigh.
I don't know the size of it.
Who can know?

Patriot,
Under the spell,
Maybe howlin' underground,
Ear at the dirt.

Running home with the notion in your head
Running home with the notion in your head

Shadows on the land

Whiter the whale
Nothin' is wrong
I cannot be here today
I will not be

Skull and Bones
Taking the fear
Something for a hungry mouth
Something for

Running home with the notion in your head
Running home with the notion in your head

Shadows on the land

He's a man-sized Eldorado
Hooved a doo
And who could blame him
Who could blame him
Where we going?
What's the ticket?
Just the mention of Berlin makes me sexy
it makes me sexy

And tired of thinking about drinking
For thinking of drinking
While thinking about drinking
And thinking about drinking
It's a man-sized inside

Look in here
It's all hardwood
What's that smell?
Smells like coffee
It smells like coffee
If you regret it please say something
I've got no genius for evil
That makes me common
It makes me common

And tired of loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
It's a man-sized inside

He's a man-sized Eldorado
Whoopty-do
If you can't take it
If you can't take it
Where's he going?
What's that ticking?
Just the mention of Berlin
Makes me sexy
It makes me sexy

And tired of thinking about drinking
For thinking of drinking
While thinking about drinking
And thinking about drinking

Tired of loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
Loving, recovering
It's a man-sized inside
It's a man-sized inside

Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside
Inside

Lost and all alone
I always thought that I could make it on my own
Since you left I hardly make it through the day
My tears get in the way
And I need you back to stay...

I wander through the night
And search the world to find
the words to make it right
All I want is just the way it used to be
With you here close to me
I've got to make you see....

That I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
I'm as helpless as a ship without a wheel
A touch without a feel
I can't believe it's real...

And someday soon I'll wake
And find my heart won't have to break...

Yes I'm lost without your love
Life without you isn't worth the trouble of
All I want is just the way it used to be
I need you here with me
Oh darlin' can't you see...
If we had love before
We can have it back once more....

She used to work in a diner
Never saw a woman look finer
I used to order just to watch
Her float across the floor
She grew up in a small town
Never put her roots down
Daddy always kept movin',
So she did too.

Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
Flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with
The very air she breathes
The air she breathes.

You know it ain't easy
You got to hold on
She was an unknown legend
In her time
Now she's dressin' two kids
Lookin' for a magic kiss
She gets the far-away look
In her eyes.

Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley-Davidson
Her long blonde hair
Flyin' in the wind
She's been runnin' half her life
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very
Air she breathes
The air she breathes.

It's okay, we've all seen better days
It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
It's okay
It's okay, yeah we love you anyway

For in those reckless moments
When doubt is creeping in your head
Feeling like you've lost your youth
And the dreams you had are cold and dead
I can't reach you anymore
That's gonna take a different man
I can't protect you like before
You've slipped beyond my hands
But it's okay.......

I wish that I could light the path
That leads to a life of no mistakes
Hold you from the damned be done
That living out of safety seems to take
I remember still the child in you
As if only yesterday
It was easy to break through
I only had to kiss the pain
But it's okay.......

This is my chance, this is my life
And my opening hour
This is my choice, this is my voice
There may be no tomorrow
This is my plea, this is my need
This is my time for standing free
This is my step, this is my depth
In a world demanding of me
But is's okay.......

gimmesometruth27 · February 2014

but it's you

i fell into...

dimitrispearljam · February 2014

All I need is a friend
Some one to give a helpin' hand
When I'm afraid in the night
Someone to squeeze me
And tell me it's alright
You know I worry such a lot
And I would give all I've got
Just to do have someone believe in me
Just to do that and put me
Back on evenly.

Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
I will love you till the end.

You make me feel
A stronger love than anyone
I've ever know
Oh, I need someone like you
You give me something so strong and true

Oh, Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
Baby, baby, be my friend
I will love you till the end.

Want you Baby, baby, baby be my friend
I will love you I will love you till the very end

Baby, baby, baby, baby be my friend
I will love you
I will love you till the very end.

Baby baby be my friend
I will love you till the very end

Well I ain't often right but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way it does in the song
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Ramona
Come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Shall pass as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city
Though breathlike
Get deathlike at times
And there’s no use in tryin’
T’ deal with the dyin’
Though I cannot explain that in lines

Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
As to be under the strength of your skin
Your magnetic movements
Still capture the minutes I’m in
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you tryin’ to be a part of
A world that just don’t exist
It’s all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feelin’ like this

I can see that your head
Has been twisted and fed
By worthless foam from the mouth
I can tell you are torn
Between stayin’ and returnin’
On back to the South
You’ve been fooled into thinking
That the finishin’ end is at hand
Yet there’s no one to beat you
No one t’ defeat you
’Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

I’ve heard you say many times
That you’re better ’n no one
And no one is better ’n you
If you really believe that
You know you got
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
That you must be exactly like them

I’d forever talk to you
But soon my words
They would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
I know there is no help I can bring
Everything passes
Everything changes
Just do what you think you should do
And someday maybe
Who knows, baby
I’ll come and be cryin’ to you

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime

And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in...
Night Moves.....

mikalina · February 2014

I've seen you smiling in the summer sun
I've seen your long hair flying when you run
I've made my mind up that it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
You're high above me now, you're wild and free ah but
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Some people say that love's a losin' game
You start with fire but you lose the flame
The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone
You end up cold and lonely on your own

I'll take my chances babe I'II risk it all
I'll win your love or I'II take the fall
I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

It's written down some where, it's got to be
You're high above me flyin' wild and free
Oh but someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me

Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Out where the rivers meet the sounding sea
I feel it in my soul, it's meant to be
Oh someday lady you'll accomp'ny me
Somedaylady you'll accomp'ny me ...

Sled Dogs after dinner close their eyes on their howlin' ways
Kurt cobain, reincarnated, sighs and licks his face
Then they drift past strips of Seregeneti and the gates of sleepy hollow too
You can pause and wonder they pause and wonder yeah I pause and wonder too
Just don't wake Daddy

They can lay their heads on their futon beads so many miles from home
You teach your children some fashion sense and they fashion some of their own
For when policy wearing commune on the untamed land
Through white sheers whispers in their ears your dammed
And don't wake daddy

You can stuff you void with an asteroid that's hurtling towards the earth
You can drop the bomb that restores the calm then promises rebirth
Just don't wake daddy

It's a perfect time now for an electric choice
They fall asleep but us now it time to hear you voice

Sing to end all songs to end all songs

Lyrics of the moment
