Title
- It's a song about a dream
- Well i'm lying in my bed
- The blanket is warm
- This body will never be safe from harm
- Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
- Touch my skin to keep me whole
- If only you'd come back to me
- If you laid at my side
- I wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied
- Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
- I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
- The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
- Black beauty I love you so
- Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
- Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
- Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
- Ageless, ageless
- I'm there in your arms
- Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
- I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
- The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
- Black beauty I love you so
- So, so...
- The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
- Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
- Well it's you I've waited my life to see
- It's you I've searched so hard for...
- Don't wanna weep for you, I don't wanna know
- I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
- The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
- Black beauty I love you so
- So, black black black black beauty...
- There's the moon asking to stay
- Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
- Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die
- My fading voice sings of love,
- But she cries to the clicking of time
- Of time
- Wait in the fire...
- And she weeps on my arm
- Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
- Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
- Oh my love
- And the rain is falling and i believe
- My time has come
- It reminds me of the pain
- I might leave
- Leave behind
- Wait in the fire...
- And I feel them drown my name
- So easy to know and forget with this kiss
- I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
- This is our last goodbye
- I hate to feel the love between us die
- But it's over
- Just hear this and then i'll go
- You gave me more to live for
- More than you'll ever know
- This is our last embrace
- Must I dream and always see your face
- Why can't we overcome this wall
- Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all
- Kiss me, please kiss me
- But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
- You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
- I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye
- Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
- And did you rush to the phone to call
- Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
- Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
- You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know
- Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
- Burning clues into this heart of mine
- Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
- Offer signs that it's over... it's over
- I lost myself on a cool damp night
- Gave myself in that misty light
- Was hypnotized by a strange delight
- Under a lilac tree
- I made wine from the lilac tree
- Put my heart in its recipe
- It makes me see what I want to see
- and be what I want to be
- When I think more than I want to think
- Do things I never should do
- I drink much more that I ought to drink
- Because (it) brings me back you...
- Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
- Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
- Listen to me... I cannot see clearly
- Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?
- Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?
- Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?
- Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?
- Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
- Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...
- Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch
- And remember the smell of the fabric
- Of your simple city dress
- Oh... that was so real
- We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
- The wind blew an invocation and i fell asleep at the gate
- And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause i thought i'd hurt my mother
- And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
- Pulled me under
- Oh... that was so real
- I love you, but i'm afraid to love you
- I love you, but i'm afraid to love you
- Well I heard there was a secret chord
- that David played and it pleased the Lord
- But you don't really care for music, do ya?
- Well it goes like this :
- The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
- The baffled king composing Hallelujah
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
- Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
- You saw her bathing on the roof
- Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
- And she tied you to her kitchen chair
- She broke your throne and she cut your hair
- And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
- (Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
- I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
- I used to live alone before I knew ya
- And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
- and love is not a victory march
- It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
- Well there was a time when you let me know
- What's really going on below
- But now you never show that to me do ya
- But remember when I moved in you
- And the holy dove was moving too
- And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
- Hallelujah...
- [Instrumental]
- Maybe there's a God above
- But all I've ever learned from love
- Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
- And it's not a cry that you hear at night
- It's not somebody who's seen the light
- It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
- Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
- Hallellllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujjjaahhhh...Hallelllluuuuuujjaaaaaaaaaahhhh
- He bear her off, he bear her down
- He bear her into an orchard ground
- Lu Li Lu Lay
- Lu Li Lu Lay
- The falcon hath bourne my mate away
- And in this orchard there was a hold
- That was hanged with purple and gold
- And in that hold there was a bed
- And it was hanged with chords of red
- Lu Li Lu Lay
- Lu Li Lu Lay
- The falcon hath bourne my mate away
- And on this bed there lyeth a knight
- His wound is bleeding day and night
- By his bedside kneeleth a maid
- And she weepeth both night and day
- Lu Li Lu Lay
- Lu Li Lu Lay
- The falcon hath bourne my mate away
- By his bedside standeth a stone
- Corpus Christi written thereon
- Eternal Life is now on my trail
- Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
- While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
- there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
- And as your fantasies are broken in two
- Did you really think this bloody road
- would pave the way for you?
- You better turn around
- and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
- Racist everyman, what have you done?
- Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
- Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
- All I want to do is love everyone...
- And as your fantasies are broken in two
- did you really think this bloody road
- would pave the way for you?
- You better turn around
- and blow your kiss hello to life eternal
- Oh...
- There's no time for hatred, only questions
- Where is love, where is happiness, what is Life,
- where is peace?
- When will I find the strength to bring me release?
- And tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
- Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
- And I've got a message for you and your twisted hell
- You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye
- to life eternal angel...
- Angel...
- There is a child sleeping near his twin
- The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
- That dark angel he is shuffling in
- Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
- The love you lost with her skin so fair
- Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
- Her green eyes blew goodbyes
- With her head in her hands
- and your kiss on the lips of another
- Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.
- Don't be like the one who made me so old
- Don't be like the one who left behind his name
- 'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
- And nobody ever came...
- Don't be like the one who made me so old
- Don't be like the one who left behind his name
- 'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
- And nobody ever came...
- Don't be like the one who made me so old
- Don't be like the one who left behind his name
- 'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
- Nobody ever came
- Nobody ever...
- I feel afraid and I call your name
- I love your voice and your dance insane
- I hear your words and I know your pain
- With your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
- Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever
- Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
- Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
- Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
- Ah do you meet the one I love
- and smell the one who loves you
- Dream brother, dream brother, dream, dream
- dream asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over
