peace of mind, a piece of me
rolling on viciously
firefly pass me by
love me like a dragonfly
let me live
let me be
meet you by the wishing tree
take my hand
sing to me
your bittersweet symphony
shadow hills, shadow falls,
painted on the bedroom walls
a skeleton of light so soon
ushers in the silver moon
see beauty in the fire, in the flame
try to tame, try to reign me in
from spreading ever higher
EVER HIGHER
face engraved upon my soul,
inner heat consume me whole
branded with a burning heart
that crumbles when we’re far apart
like sparks dancing in the night
red stars in the morning light
let it grow
let it spire
haunt me like a funeral pyre
see beauty in the fire, in the flame
on the road again
fever of the white lines, ignoring all the caution signs
aimlessly, endlessly
always be a part of me
powerlines against the sky
the dark eternal you & I
red, blue, pink & gold
rusting like forgotten souls

Found a road, Far & Wide
With side of hope & long-lost new pride
Lighting the spirit of the lost life …
Lighting the spirit of the next life
Unknown path – need a guide
To dial me back to the other side
Dark & Deep
To lose & hide
Never wait, this time & tide
Seeking heart, good old friend
Finding the buzz of bliss
As I near the end
Memories come when I need
The future’s in smiles,
Been sowing that seed.
Far & Wide

Bet It All
05:41
|

When you have no move you do nothing.
Some days I make 20 bets,
some days I make none.
There are weeks, sometimes months in fact where I don't make a bet at all because there simply is no play.
So I wait, plan, marshall my resources, and when I finally see an opportunity and there is a bet to make ...
I bet it all.

Carnival of Souls
05:58
|
|||
watching from afar
a starburst splits the night
passionate & reckless
jonesing for the fight, or flight,
(or freeze) … don’t you bring me down,
bring me to my knees
this spirit’s growing stronger
than you & they believe
singing in the rain
dancing in the sun
and all this time the elemental
journey’s just begun,
you’re digging through the past with your
key inside the whole …
my shapes are wild abandon in this
carnival of souls

Afterglow
06:37
|
|
||
always going to try to fly
higher than the desert sky
past the point of turning back
the crimson sunset fades to black
in the afterglow of afterhours
you are my break of dawn
you are my fire raging on
you are the shadow on the bedroom wall
you are the sound of one & all
in the afterglow of afterhours
in the afterglow of afterhours

When I hear the call I crawl inside your Waterfall.
