Like the face of a flower in the rain
I'll be full of a silence as loud as my flames
Because I am, I am daylights

I could fall when you leave for the last time
But a pyre must grow high to be seen for miles
Because I am, I am daylights
Because I am, I am daylights!

And from today,
I will take up my burnt out churches

The Burning Man

Gold in the window panes
Gold lifting leaves in rays
So cleaved in symmetry
Woven into fallen days

Blue in the glassy sky
Blue streaks the orange beams
Sent out in Christmas lights
Lights in the new year dream

I'm thrown into a memory
A boy so small, so humbly
It all began so long ago, so long ago...

And voices said to me "You are the burning man"

Those voices said to me "You are the burning man"

Soldiers Kill Their Sisters

Soldiers, soldiers kill their sisters
Soldiers, soldiers kill their sisters

Spill their blood, spill their blood in fountains
Spill their blood, spill their blood in fountains

No, no, no
No, no, no

Until...

"Blue was the colour of the night
Rose was the colour of the street lights
Made me bright
Until you turned away
Until you walked away

Red was the colour of your hair
Silver the colour of your stare
I didn't care
Until you turned away
Until you walked away
Until the shadows and the rain"

The Shadows And the Rain

Once there was a love
Once there was a way back home

Truth But Not Fact

Sometimes near, then so far
Days like clear lakes extend
Realise emptiness
In your eyes emptiness

Perfect death, then decay
Helps you take veils away
A smile here a word there
In your eyes emptiness

Knulp

Your love's in flood
Your love's in time
With the golden curve of the sun

And through the wood
And though struck blind
Your young eyes shoot clear like a gun

You travel north
On every train
Your pockets with timetables full

The seasons struck may
You laugh at her play
As the rains lash away at your skull

I wonder sometimes at your
Wandering times and wonder if
Doubts would come near.

For as for myself it was with great
Stealth that my innocent heart disappeared

Hey, Hey, Wilderness

I drive through the night
Speeding on through sleeping towns
I've never known
Never known such fear before

Hey, hey wilderness
Keep on racing out ahead
'Cos who could say
Where you are tonight, my love
Or who you're with tonight, my dear
Where are you tonight, my love?

Out of the car window now
The rays of light touch the backs of the trees
My mind gives me one final thought

Nightfall (For Boris P.)

High on the windswept and abandon
We stood bareheaded in the snow
Let them fade now they are behind us
Melt into whiteness here we go

And like the boy by the cathedral
My heart is heavy made of stone
Full of misgivings and surrender
But full of hope why I don't know

Oh, they can't take your soul
Oh, tell me what is a soul

Oh, they can't break your soul
Oh, tell me what is a soul

From Here To Somewhere Else

Luminous horizon skies
It's five o'clock right in front of me
Visiting an empty house
At night I heard distant music play
And all that night distant music played

Around the necks of people
Hang images and mirrors

All in all
And to circumstance
Centuries of faces and thoughts
Everything is swollen with
The scent of dreams and the beat of blood

From here to somewhere else

Around the necks of people
Hang images and mirrors

The Wraith Of Loving

Bright and distant faces
Sometimes I don't really know
Sometimes I don't really know

The names and numbers
Drift and scatter like the snow
Drift and scatter like the snow

The past is fallen
Makes me feel I wanna cry
Makes me feel I wanna cry

The wraith of loving
Makes me feel I wanna smile
Makes me feel I wanna smile
