Together Part 1

I the sea and you the shore
You the whisper, I the roar
Contradicting legend's lore,
we have come together

Never caution, never fright
No dispersions for to fight
Feeling feelings airy light,
lighter than a feather

Soft affections I hear calling
Your graceful charms to me enthralling
I proclaim, "For you I'm falling"
now that we're together

Together Part 2

Is it passion keeps us tight?
Perhaps the fact we never fight
Or the warm and tender nights
the nights we spend together

How do we continue so?
No tart quill from Cupid's bow
Truth be told I do not know
what keeps us together

Lost

In this moment I can see
the tide turning against me

I have let my dark side show
and I can feel what we had go

Suddenly it's all been lost
that is what this moment's cost

I know now, no need to learn
what we had will not return

I wanted to Cry

My first love at the altar
I now must say goodbye
My first lover at my side
Oh, how I wanted to cry

One I've loved throughout the years
He's innocent and shy
But my love he cannot return
For this I wanted to cry

The other I had just now found
My soul could finally fly
But by this day he too I'd lost
Oh God I needed to cry

To others just another day
No need for them to cry
For me a day I'll not forget
Forsaking tears, I sigh

Together Part 3

Comprehension toward me crawling
What I mustn't hear to me is calling
I am sure for you I'm falling
Now that we're asunder

I look around me and I see
no one else at all like me

No one I hear, no one I see
Is there something wrong with me

No one else I've ever known
Sometimes I feel I'm all alone

Then one day I realize
individuality's been compromised

So many people all the same
all the faces, all the names

And from this originality drought
I can see that I stand out

A look, a word, a thought all mine
my destiny I alone define

My distinction true and tried
In my singularity I take pride

No one else at all like me
That's the way it ought to be

People change around us as we coast through time
Some become obscure while some emerge divine
Some have many followers they keep beguiled
They flourish in the culture they themselves define

History determines just who will survive
Sometimes even legends see their fame decline
But the fallen are assured to one day rise on high
Success is guaranteed with premature demise

The bottle rid us of the pearl and the swine
John was cut down by the catcher in the rye
Billy Graham and Stevie fell out of the sky
And Morrison cried, "No one here gets out alive"

Some say you can't be resurrected 'till you die
But if you look up to the black holes in the sky
There's a glimmer hidden off in lost and soulfull eyes
Where one diamond shines.

The widows of the mountains make the cold wind blow
The orphans of the hills make the Spring come slow
The elder in the shanty says he claims to know
Where the little children go when the cold wind blows

The weeping willow sobs 'cause his branches droop down
The screaming seedling cries 'til it breaks through the ground
The cold crows flutter while the hawks circle 'round
and the little children cry without making a sound

The puppy dog bites and the bumble bee stings
The preacher says his sermon without changing a thing
The little old lady lost her old diamond ring
and the little children slumber 'till they smell the new Spring

The widows of the mountains lay down and go to sleep
The orphans of the hills dream the dreams they can keep
The lialocks bloom and the peepers start to peep
The little children wake and then start to weep

The slow life is comfortable
predictable and easy
You do what you need to do
accomplish what need be
A walk in the night time
ubiquitous night air
Dew drops drip lightly
the fox kills the bear

This is the nightmare I've dreamed of
This is the dream of the the wild
Soon come the cries of the night dove
Soon fall the tears of the child
This is the nightmare I've dreamed of
This is the ego beguiled
Will the blind flight of the night dove
Carry us beyond the Nile

The generation sees the light
it flocks towards the flame
They understand the situation
recognize the name
The things they don't understand
are things unimportant
The one they don't recognize
the narcissistic sycophant

These are the nightmares I've dreamed of
These are the ignorant truths
These are the sights of the dream dove
Set upon ignorant youth
These are the nightmares I've dreamed of
These are the things that I see
This is what the dream dove
Parades in front of me

The unsoundly voice
crackles a bit
"I don't think that you
can kill that cigarette"
Behavior addictive
takes what it can get
Oblivious conditions
unsecure the net

This is the nigthmare I've dreamed of
This is the action that kills
This is the way that the dark dove
Pays off Jesus' bills
This is the nightmare I've dreamed of
This is the breath that I take
This is the power the dark dove
Makes certain I cannot take.

The clown lays hiden, the clown stays low
The clown's in all of us though some don't know
But the stiff will dance and the meek will shout
When they drink the magic potion and the clown comes out

The clown is jolly, he makes us smile
We all love to watch him and his slap-stick style
If you want to join him, it's easy to do
Just drink the magic potion and you'll be a clown too

But when it's all over, the clown is gone
You sleep the whole next day thru with the curtains drawn
The makeup's off, all you feel is pain
You vomit last night's potion -- flush it down the drain

The clown wants freedom, he must come out
Though last time your face wound up on the bathroom grout
You take one sip and the clown's set free
His seduction's stronger than your memory

Your spouse has had it, your folks you trick
Other workers wonder why you call in sick
Your stomach hurts, your hair's turned grey
But the clown will always be there, Sammy says it's okay
