And you know it's time to go
through the sleet and driving snow
across the fields of mourning to
lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and you earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape
Oh, oh on borderland we run
and still we run, we run and don't look back
I'll be there, I'll be there
tonight, a highroad, a highroad out of here
the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own
Oh, oh on borderland we run
and still we run, we run and don't look back
tonight, tonight
The wind will crack in wintertime
a bomb-blast lightning waltz
no spoken words, just a scream . . .
tonight we'll a bridge across the sea and land
see the sky burning rain
she will die and live again
tonight
And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home
One man come in the name of love,
One man come and go.
One come here to justify,
One man to overthrow,
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
One man crawled on a barb wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Innocent and in a sense I am
Guilty of the crime that's now in hand
Sutch a nice day
To throw your life away
Sutch a nice day
To let it go
Oh these eyes, I can't believe it
Cold, this heart is slow,
Heart is stone
Call me
Sutch a cold heart
Sutch a cold man
Watch you tear your self apart
Soul leaves on my soul to kill
Soul leaves on the longest sleep
The longest sleep
On I come and out you go you get
Here we are again, now place your bets
Is this the time ?
The time to win or loose ?
Is this the time ?
The time to choose ?
Oh these eyes, I can't believe it
Soul burns with a cold fire
Cold, this heart is slow,
Heart is stone
Any time your on there
Give some away
Wont you tell me
That's it just give me it
I'm on your side
Be on the same side
I'm alright jack
You get off my back
I won't go
I give you hope
Here's the rope
Here's the rope
Now swing away
Ice.
Your only rivers run cold,
These city lights,
They shine as silver and gold,
Dug from the night.
Your eyes as black as coal.
Walk on by, Walk on through,
Walk till you run.
And don't look back.
For here, I am.
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin
through alcohol.
Red wine that punctures the skin.
Face to face in a dry and waterless place.
Walk on by, Walk on through
So sad to beseige your love so,
Head on, stay this time.
Stay tonight, in a lie.
I'm only asking but I think that you know.
Come on take me away.
Come on take me away.
Come on take me away.
Home again.
And if the mountain should crumble,
or disappear into the sea.
Not a tear, no not I stay in this time.
Stay tonight in a light.
Ever after, this love in time.
And if you save it all, save you love.
Don't push me too far tonight.
Earth, sky, sea, and rain
Here she comes back again.
Men stroll, sneak the hall
Words that build or destroy.
Dirt dry bones and stones.
Bobbed wire fence cut me down,
I'd like to be around.
In a spiral staircase
to the higher ground.
And I like a firewall
And explode.
Roman candlelightning lights up the sky.
In cracked streets, tremble under fort.
Sidestep, sidewalk.
I see you stare into space.
Have I gotten closer now,
behind the face.
Tell me, will you dance with me,
and turn me around tonight.
Up though the spiral staircase to the higher ground.
See slide show, see side town,
coca-cola radio radio radio . . .
If you twist and turn away.
If you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.
If I could throw this lifeless
Lifeline to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay,
See you walk, walk away,
Into the night.
And through the rain.
Into the half-light,
And through the flame.
If I could throw myself,
set your spirit free.
I'd lead your heart away,
See you break, break away
Into the light.
And to the day.
To let it go,
And so to fade away.
To let it go,
And so fade away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.
Oh, no, no.
If you should ask then maybe
They tell you what I would say.
True colors fly in blue and black,
bruised silken skies and burning flag.
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.
If I could, you know I would.
If I could, I would let it go.
This desparation.
Dislocation.
Separation.
Condemnation.
Revelation.
Temptation.
Isolation.
Desolation.
Let it go,
And so to fade away.
To let it go,
And so fade away.
Oh, no
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.
Oh, no no
In the ocean.
Cuts wind, deep the sky.
I like there - don't know why.
In the forest there's a clearing eye.
Running toward the light.
Sky.
Blue sky.
In the aweful holding.
Deep decide. If I could, I would.
Up for swimming against the tide.
Up toward the sky.
It's a blue sky.
To loose along the way.
The spark that set the flame.
To flicker and to fade,
On this the longest day.
So the wind go through to my heart.
So wind go through my soul.
You give yourself to this the longest day.
You give yourself, you give it all away.
Two rivers run as deep as seas.
They change and so do I.
The light that strikes the tallest trees.
The light , wait for I.
Up toward the sky.
It's a blue sky.
To loose along the way
The spark that set the flame.
To flicker and to fade,
Of this the longest days.
So wind go through to my heart,
So wind blow through my soul.
You give yourself,
You give the longest days.
You give yourself,
You give it all away.
White flash, under my own love.
Tell me of my own.
White flash come though my own life.
Telling these things.
And I weary them.
And I believe in you.
White flash see the sky,
And it turns inside from you.
She won't turn my back.
And I know that it makes me blue.
And you hope.
And your sky is feeling blue.
And your heart, so cold when I'm with you.
And you feel, like no one told you to.
And your time was on your side.
Don't talk to me.
You know, like no one told you how,
but you know the king that howls has howled.
But you feel like sentimental.
But you don't care without sharing in your heart.
But there's no hope, go to sleep.
Turn away from the wall and there's nothing at all.
So hope in sleep.
I breaking through for you and me.
And you don't.
No one told you to.
And you found out
Where you were going to.
You were through with me,
but I know you should be back for more
You know, And no one told you so.
And you know the sky,
And it's shade of blue.
And you walk, you walk to let go.
You pull from the outside, tell me
Don't fade away.
Drop me down but don't break me.
In your sleep.
It's in your heart and mine.
The whole sea is dark.
Loving is on your side and walking through.
So let me in your heart,
You beat is like something from you.
They lost it.
So stay (sad) over midnight.
Oh stay (sad) under the sky.
And you know, and no one told you how.
And you cared,
and no one told you tried.
And your heart, it lift out from the side.
And the rain beats down.
And the shame beats down.
And this rain keeps on coming down.
And this time is right.
Don't let them push you by,
You're going to go join God.
And if someone ask you why,
You tell them some old lie.
Give away some old lie.
You know, and no one told you why.
And you feel,
Like you pretend you can
Go you live.
Don't you leave.
Don't leave out part of me that I can feel.
Like I can feel me fall.
I can't hold on,
see that flaw.
Let me feel.
Let the pieces only flow.
Sleep, sleep tonight.
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain.
So let it rain, rain down him.
So let it be.
Sleep, Sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized.
If the thundercloud passes rain,
so let it rain.
Let it rain, rain on him.
