Originally written for the album "High Winds", it was cut from the list for space reasons. Now loaded with fresh guitar tracks, it is a definite contender for this "in progress" CD tentatively named "Tough"...

lyrics

AWAKE AT NIGHT
UNABLE TO SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS
THOUGHTS RACE AHEAD
ENTANGLED IN AN INNER FIGHT
WHAT IS CLEAR
IS THAT IT STARTED SLOWLY AT FIRST
DIDN'T SEEM REAL
UNTIL ONE MORNING REALITY BURST
RIGHT TROUGH THE ROOF
STRAIGHT TO THE MOON

HOW CAN A WORD
OF SUCH UTTER SIMPLICITY
CARRY THE FORCE
OF BLIND DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY
DOUBLE MEANINGS
SEND THE MIND ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE
BROKEN DREAMS
SOON COME DOWN
SHATTERED INTO SPACE
STARS FALLING 'ROUND
LOST TO THE BLAZE

ANOTHER FRIEND HAS GONE
ANOTHER LOVE
ONE MORE CASUALTY
OF VERBAL VARIANCE
ALL FOR A MISPLACED TERM
A MINDLESS REFERENCE
A CLOSENESS GONE AMISS
ON A PATH OF GRIEVANCE

AWAKE AT NIGHT
ENTANGLED IN AN INNER FIGHT
NO TIME TO REST
TOO MANY BATTLES LIE AHEAD
WHAT IS CLEAR
IS THAT IT HAPPENED SLOWLY AT FIRST
DIDN'T SEEM REAL
UNTIL ONE MORNING REALITY BURST
RIGHT THROUGH THE ROOF
STRAIGHT TO THE MOON
