Drop In The Ocean

Drop In The Ocean
It ain’t nothing, just a
Drop In the ocean
There’s too many miles
Between us now
Mummy and Daddy, they don't
Try anymore
Said they gave us everything
But they don't know how
It ain’t nothing, just a
Hole in the ozone
A space in the heavens
Somewhere that we can go
And as we get older
And a little closer
I understand even less
Maybe we’ll never know
What if we died in vain
What if we felt no pain
What if there was someway to ease the strain
Tell me who's going to take the blame
Walk in the shadow,
Walk through your life
Voices are calling
Walk through the door
So hard to ignore,
Even harder to forget
Time it is slipping like never before
What if we died in vain
What if we felt no pain
What if there was someway to ease the strain
Tell me who's going to take the blame
It ain’t nothing, just a
Drop in the ocean
There’s too many miles
Between us now

The Beauty Of Melancholy

The Beauty Of Melancholy
Sitting at the waters edge
Drifting with the tide
No one knows what lies ahead
Horizon deep inside
Seasons come and seasons change
Years scattered by the wind
When loneliness is something strange
It ends and then begins
For all the lost souls who disappear in the dark
For all the black holes that are hidden in the park
For all the white noise that is screaming in my head
The beauty of melancholy
Was the last thing that she said
We’ve been lost and we’ve been found
But we came back again
Through the maze and upside down
Beginning at the end
And somewhere sleeping miles away
The future lies in wait
And everything I couldn’t say
Is discarded at the gate
To the winds of fate
The tide is turning winds of change
Are blowing through your mind
And you might look the other way
But you can’t undo the ties that bind
And in a world where sadness reigns
and speaks to the unknown
we have learnt to walk these streets alone
When all is said and done
And there is nothing left to hide
The pain dissolves, the rain comes down
To wash away your pride
You tunnel in the darkness
digging way down deep inside
Back to what we all know
To that comfort way below
For all the lost souls who disappear in the dark

Road To Ruin
If you see me coming
You better look the other way
Cause i’m my own worst enemy
I leave myself in disarray
My walls have ears
and my words can kill
My heart is made of stone
Everything I touch
turns to dust
Welcome to my happy home
I’m the tapping on the window
I’m the footsteps outside your door
I’m the face that you don’t quite recognise
But you know you’ve seen before
I’m the wind that blows the shutters wide open
I’m indecision I’m black and blue
So take my hand I’ll look after you
As we walk down the road to ruin
I live in the shadow
Come out at night
You might know me surely know me well
A connoisseur of sarcasm and spite
I have my feelers out and I know where you live
No doubt we’ve met before
You can’t deny that somewhere
I’ve caught your eye
I’m the wolf behind your door
I’m the tapping on the window
I’m the footsteps outside your door
I’m the face that you don’t quite recognise
But you know you’ve seen before
I’m the wind that blows the shutters wide open
I’m indecision I’m black and blue
So take my hand I’ll look after you
As we walk down the road to ruin
Make yourself more comfortable
Relax, let down your guard
Cause I know every secret you keep
As I peel away your facade
My hands maybe cold but my heart is fire
And i’ve the patience of a priest
Take a seat at the table and eat
Welcome to the feast
So take your hands away from your eyes
And look me in the face
These things you see are you and me
Welcome to the human race
I’m the tapping on the window
I’m the footsteps outside your door
I’m the face that you don’t quite recognise
But you know you’ve seen before
I’m the wind that blows the shutters wide open
I’m indecision I’m black and blue
So take my hand I’ll look after you
As we walk down the road to ruin

The Last Day Of The War

The Last Day Of The War
Turn off the light close the door when you leave
So I can’t see anything at all
It doesn’t matter anymore what you believe
This is the last day of the war
This is the last day of the war
And I could tell you all the words you wanna hear
I could tell you anything
But sometimes situations aren’t what they appear
Let’s see what tomorrow will bring
Let’s wait and see what tomorrow will bring
And it’s too late to turn it all around
And it’s too far gone to make a sound
Cause I loved you from the moment we met
That it’s all I can say to forget
The sirens call and the bombs are overhead
As we all pack down for the night
And I can still recall every word you said
Like dreams in the fading light
Is it too late to turn it all around
Is it too far gone to hear the sound
Cause I loved you from the moment we met
You are everything to me
These are unfamiliar skies
I see it in your eyes
But after all the smoke has cleared
We’re history, mystery
Is it too late to turn it all around
Is it too far gone to hear the sound
Cause I loved you from the moment we met

Secret Language
I’m traveling in a burning vehicle
Hint of sulphur on my breath
Misfortune scratching at the window
I’m on speaking terms with death
We will speak without words you and I
On illegal frequencies we’re gonna fly
A secret language we will learn
As we watch the years burn
On Tangerine Row they sell money for flowers
And time just slips away
The smell of gasoline and talk for hours and hours and hours and
Maybe it’s better to leave it that way
We will speak without words you and I
On illegal frequencies we’re gonna fly
A secret language we will learn
As we watch the years burn
And I can just float away
Over crumbling spires and cathedral towers
Drifting in and out of sleeplessness
There is hopelessness and desire
I’m running from the scene of a crime
Hint of madness in my eye
Some of us will still be waiting
As I leave the ground and fly
We will speak without words you and I
On illegal frequencies we’re gonna fly
A secret language we will learn
As we watch the years burn
Watch the years burn

The Best Of Times

The Best Of Times
Keep it close to your heart she said in a whisper
Lost in her eyes he smiled then he kissed her
With a ring on his finger and a chill in the air
He turned and walked away and left her standing there
By a streetlamp in the midnight he can still see her shadow
As he walks along the waterfront in violet and indigo
With the cold and the dark and the lights on the water
He was from the wrong side she a fishermans daughter
These days are the best of times
These are the days you will never forget
These they say are the best of times
These are the days of your life
They put out to sea, they put out to sea
Adrift on the ocean, floating away
They put out to sea
The dream fades away, the dream fades away
Like dust in the light, its there and its gone
And the dream fades away
Callico and candlewick night bible black
Blind as the captain and deep as the sea
Watching through the fish eye see them twisting and bending
The waves are relentless the waves are relentless
And he stretches for the fingers of the hands that are reaching
The same hands that once encircled his heart
And he knew in a moment they were destined to remain
Adrift on the tide and never torn apart
As I dive into the water I feel my spirit breathing
But underneath the surface the view is decieving
But how could she have known and how could he forsee
These things that would entwine them and never set them free
These days are the best of times
These are the days you will never forget
These they say are the best of times
These are the days of your life
These days are the best of times
These are the days you will never forget
These they say are the best of times
These are the days of your life
