The Mountain
If you are my true friend
Then you'll listen
You see, I've been dreaming again
Looking for something
That's been lost
And these eyes have been a camera
They hold memories clear and fine
I'm turning away
And I remember
The way it was to live
Inside a small girl
To cast no shadow on the ground
But there is someone here with me
And he is tying
A red, red ribbon to a tree
Oh my mother
My good friend
I knew you so little then
And my sister
And my two brothers
We can still talk to each other
In the dark
So if today
Is such a long, lonely time away
Then I'll remember
The sound of snow
And I'll remember
The forest
And I'll remember
The Mountain

Time
You've put the fear behind you
And yet you're still aware
That one day
You might finally cease to care
And never know it's day or night
Or if you're hot or cold
Or if you're growing up
Or growing old
Time and time
And time and time again
You swear you'll never feel that way again
Time and time
And time and time again
You swear you'll never feel that way again
Anyone can tell you
There's the red and there's the green
But when you lose the difference in between
Love and joy and beauty
Are all lost to shades of grey
It's like a veil gets drawn against the day
Time and time
And time and time again
You swear you'll never feel that way again
When you wake up crying
And you're wondering where you are
And fighting down
A rising, cold hysteria
You don't know where it's come from
You don't even know its name
But it won't make you happy
It won't keep you sane
Time and time
And time and time again
You swear you'll never feel that way again

Holy Grail
This is the way that you've made it
It's like a desert - you've laid it all bare
Walk if you can through these badlands
Lean on me if you will - if you dare
Look to the sky I stand under
And I suppose you might say I've been blessed
Breathe in the air that is burning your face
Feel the wind that's so heavy with dust
This is the way that you want it to be
Now abide by the rules that you made
Cry to the wind if you want
But you won't be my hope or my Holy Grail
Is this not what you expected
All your labour for this consequence
No use to look for the garden
In this place of inheritance
No you can't reap what has never been sown
Now forgive me but I've got to leave
Stranding you here to survey this alone
So you'll see that we've no common ground
This is the way that you want it to be
Now abide by the rules that you made
Cry to the wind if you want
But you won't be my hope or my Holy Grail
Call my name, call my name
This is the sound of my heartbeat
And this is the air that I breathe
Here is the mouth that I speak with
And the words that come so hard to me
These are the eyes that I look through
And their colours are grey, blue and green
These are the thoughts that burn right through my brain
Like a brand to show what I have seen
This is the way that you want it to be
Now abide by the rules that you made
Cry to the wind if you want
But you won't be my hope or my Holy Grail

Miracle
I'm not asking any questions
That haven't got an answer
I don't need to know the reasons
And I don't want to weigh you down
I'll treat you like a good friend
I'll treat you like a brother
But it's been so long
Since I felt this way
And I would be glad
Just to let it go away
But if there was anything
In your heart for me
Would you tell me
Tell it to me
I saw you in the daylight
I saw that you'd been crying
And standing on the shore line
Never walking on the water,
No, no, no
There's many names
That I might give you
In the event of miracle
But it's been so long
Since I felt this way
And I would be glad
Just to let it go away
But if there was anything
In your heart for me
Would you tell me
Tell it to me
I don't want to sit at your feet
I don't want you to console me
I don't need you to find order
I don't want you to control me
I don't need you to feel whole
I know I've got that sorted, yeah
But it's been so long
Since I felt this way
And I would be glad
Just to let it go away
But if there was anything
In your heart for me
Would you tell me
Tell it to me

Darkness, Darkness
Darkness, Darkness, be my pillow
Take my hand and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your dream
Darkness, Darkness, hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Towards the things I cannot see
Darkness, Darkness, long and lonesome
Is the day that brings the pain
I have found the edge of sadness
And I have known the depths of fear
And Darkness, Darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with endless night
Take away the pain of lonely
Fill the emptiness up right now
Darkness, Darkness

Queen
She's so high
In the upper atmosphere
She will fly
Her hem will brush across the sky
And then it's down down down
Down she flies
It's down down down
To drag you through the night
She will smile
When it' is not the time to smile
She will sing
A song to lullaby the stars
And then it's down down down
Down she flies
It's down down down
To drag you through the night
She will call
Just as I lay my body down
She will crawl
In through my open window frame
And then it's down down down
Down she flies
It's down down down
To drag you through the night

The Californian
You're putting on your old fur coat
And you're running outside in the rain
You've been burning those bridges
And sinking those boats
That have brought only sadness and pain
And the girl that you are
Is the girl that you were long ago
Do you know
That your eyes open wide
As you deadpan confide
That you get so confused when you fly
There you go, there you go
Arrange your thoughts in a row
Round your head
Like a rainbow
See you so small then you grow
But it's not only for show
Because your heart is like a window
When you were sixteen you walked out in the sun
With your heart and your arms open wide
You weren't running for cover or running away
You weren't looking for somewhere to hide
Love's a lion that roars
You were testing your voice
And I know and I know
I hear you sing in the dark
With your head full of stars
But you will be there when I fall
There you go, there you go
Arrange your thoughts in a row
Round your head
Like a rainbow
See you so small then you grow
But it's not only for show
Because your heart is like a window
And if anyone should challenge you
Just knock them down
And if anyone shold dare to
I'd stand up for you

Only Human
And if you are
Just who you think you are
Then you'll know
Where's the right and wrong
If anyone could tell you
You wouldn't listen anyway
If anyone should offer you their time
Could you take it from them
And you're used
To your own company
But you know
That's no way to stay
If anyone should ask you
Would you tell them everything
If anyone should offer your heart
Could you give the same way
You're too afraid
You're too far gone
But you know
You'll find a way to be
If anyone can help you
Then would you let them try
If anyone should open up their arms
Could you step inside
Nothing gets lost

Without something being gained
But you know
You need to change
So say you're only human
And don't you live so all alone
And anyone that's listening to these words
Do you recognise this
