YOU CALL ME I CALL YOU
BUT NOTHING COMES OF IT
I GUESS WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
I HATE TO THINK SOMETHING'S WRONG
BUT I KNOW THINGS AIN'T RIGHT
LOVE HAS LEFT FROM THESE SHORES
I SAY NO NEED TO FALL APART
THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM
BUT THE MAN WITH THE BLIND EYE SAYS
HEY LOOK TOWARDS THE CLOUDS
THUNDERBIRD WILL BREAK ACROSS THE DARKNESS
AND COME DOWN FOR YOUR MIND
HEY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN WALK AWAY
HEAR WHAT THE MAN HAS SAID
BUT WAIT AM I HERE TALKING TO MYSELF
THUNDERBIRD IS NEAR
WHY DO I FEEL NO FEAR
WE USED TO LOOK AHEAD
NOW WE JUST LOOK AWAY
FOR FEAR THE TRUTH BE REVEALED
THE MIRROR CANNOT LIE
BUT THE WILL THAT BENDS THE LIGHT
KNOWS HOW TO CASH ON DECEIT
BUT DO I REALLY CARE
WHEN NO-ONE IS TO BLAME
YET THE MAN WITH THE BLIND EYE SAYS
HEY JOE LOOK WHERE YOU HAVE GONE
THUNDERBIRD WILL SEARCH FOR YOU
AND MAKE YOU FACE WHAT YOU'VE BECOME
HEY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN WALK AWAY
HEAR WHAT THE MAN HAS SAID
BUT WAIT AM I HERE TALKING TO MYSELF
THUNDERBIRD IS NEAR
WHY DO I FEEL NO FEAR
NO NEED FOR WORRIES
FOR THERE'S MUCH TO THINK ABOUT
THOUGH I'VE BEEN AROUND THIS CIRCLE
MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD TO KNOW
COMES THE TIME I MIGHT ALTER THE COURSE
AND GO ON WITH THE FLOW
HEY YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN WALK AWAY
HEAR WHAT THE MAN HAS SAID
BUT WAIT AM I HERE TALKING TO MYSELF
THUNDERBIRD IS NEAR
WHY DO I FEEL NO FEAR

Time is a River

TIME IS A RIVER
TIME IS A HIGHWAY
TIME IS THE WIND
BLOWING IN
A DAY IN THE LIFE
AN HOUR IN THE DAY
AS TIME IS EVER GOING SOMEWHERE
SHIP TO THE MOON
WAVE TO THE STARS
A PARTICLE HIDING HERE AND FAR
LENGTH OF A KISS
LONG OF A WAKE
THE SHORT OF A STORY PASSING ME BY
DEEP IS THE OCEAN
HIGH IS THE MOUNTAIN
TIME IS THE LINK
FROM THERE AND BACK
A WAVE OF THE HAND
A HIT OF THE DRUM
TIME IS THE BEAT
KEEP ON DANCING
LOVE IS HIDING A STEP AWAY
SILENCE AND PAIN WORDS NEVER SAID
LAUGHTER AND CHEERS
HEIGHTEN THE DAY
RIVER OF TIME WANDERS ASTRAY
DANGER DANCER
DARE TO LOVE AND DREAM
'NEATH THE WILLOW

High Towers

High towers in sight
A bridge across the frigid waters
I revisit the past
A place where time was left to wander
Down the streets with the names
Of those once revered
Till they fell to the pen that rewrites history
Time and time again
I hear the truth that bears the disgrace
There is only the eye
The wish, the end that justifies the ways
But the ghosts tell no lies
And the ghosts utter no truths
To revisit the past is the quest of the fool
The friends that stand alive
I swear they're not the ones I then knew
The man that lays the cards
I hear his laughter loud and true
The veil over the eyes
The smoke that conceals
There's a place within spaces begging to be seen
I see them walk along the river
Dancing in the moonlight
I feel the pulse of their lives
Like a stolen heartbeat, a beat in my soul
I know the joy and the pain
That rise through the sun and rain

# 1
FREE AS THE WIND
YOU LOOKED AS IF YOU WERE ABOUT TO FLY
YOU LIT UP A CIGARETTE
BUT LET IT BURN UNTIL IT DIED
NOTHING BELONGED TO YOU
YET THE WORLD AROUND US
WAS YOURS TO PAINT
AND YOU BROUGHT IT TO LIFE
YOU STOLE MY HEART
AND THEN YOU SAID GOODBYE
# 2
AND YOU FROM THE EAST
COULD IT HAVE BEEN TURKEY OR GREECE
IT SEEMED YOU CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
YET BEFORE LONG WE LAY IN BED
OUR BODIES AS ONE
FOREVER CAUGHT IN THEIR EMBRACE
I LOVED YOU SO
UNTIL THE END OF DAYS
WHEN FOREVER LEFT
YOU SIMPLY WALKED AWAY
WHERE ARE YOU GODDESSES
OF THE INFINITE WORLD
OF THE ETERNAL NOW
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR WAY
OR HAVE YOU HELD YOUR GROUNDS
AGAINST THE SAVAGE KIND
DID YOU GUIDE THE CHILDREN THROUGH THE MAZE
NUDGE THEM ONWARD BEYOND THE HAZE
OR DID THE MIDDLE MAN COLLECT
TO LEAVE YOU BEREFT OF THE GAINS?
# 3
LIZZY THE QUEEN
YOU WALKED THE FINE LINE BETWEEN LOVERS
NEVER LOSING A STEP
YOU KEPT ON DANCING TILL THE MORNING CAME
BY DAY YOU WERE ALL SUN
BY NIGHT THE MOON TOOK OVER
I FELL FOR YOU
LIKE A MOTH TO THE LIGHT
YOU LET ME IN
AND THEN YOU SHOWED ME OUT
# 4
YOU WERE BORN A FLOWER
YET NO BLOOM WAS A GIVEN
YOU WORE YOUR LEATHER WELL
YOU INKED YOUR SKIN
PREFERRED TO SHAVE YOUR HEAD
WE SAT ON THE STEPS
LOOKING DOWN THE ALLEY
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
WAS BETTER KEPT AT BAY
BUT FOR A TIME
IT SEEMED WE FLEW AWAY
WHERE ARE YOU GODDESSES
OF THE INFINITE WORLD
OF THE FOREVER NOW
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR WAY
OR HAVE YOU HELD YOUR GROUNDS
AGAINST THE SAVAGE KIND
DID YOU GUIDE THE CHILDREN THROUGH THE MAZE
NUDGE THEM ONWARD BEYOND THE HAZE
OR DID THE MIDDLE MAN COLLECT
TO LEAVE YOU BEREFT OF THE GAINS?
