Logical oh responsible
practical
And then they showed me
a world where I could be
so dependable
Oh clinical oh intellectual
cynical
There are times
when all the world's asleep
The question run too deep
for such a simple man

man
Who needed to be held like everyone

The days moved into years
I look for warmth between the tears
It never ever found me
Never ever found me
Yes, I did seem to grasp at straws
They surely broke all the time

So I hid inside
(Till) I almost died
Yes I hid inside and I cried
A loving heart in a sensitive man
Hiding inside myself

myself.
(Myself)
I ask why but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on.
(To what I want when I'm
stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in.
I can't hold on.
(To anything watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in.

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

eyes burning like fire
bright eyes how can you close and fail
how can the light that burned so brightly
suddenly burn so pale bright eyes

Is it a kind of shadow reaching into the night
wandering over the hills unseen or is it a dream?
there's a high wind in the trees a cold sound in the air
and nobody ever knows when you go and where do you start
oh into the dark

Bright eyes burning like fire
bright eyes how can you close and fail
how can the light that burned so brightly
suddenly burn so pale

Pale Horse against time

A dance for creation, one for destruction
And one for both in ecstasy
One out of, one in our time

One for remembrance, one for oblivion
And one for both in Satori
One above, one against the time

time after
sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
then you say go slow
I fall behind
the second had unwinds

if you're lost you can look
and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you
I'll be waiting

waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

now the end is near
and so I'll face the final curtain
my friends I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've planned each chartered course
each careful step along the byways
and more, much more than this
I did it my way

way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Ooo hooow

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere
