CRUCIFIED GAMES OF FATE STORMS OF CONFUSION THE WATCHER THE JOURNEY WAR (NEVER DIES) A MIRROR'S LIE DARK FAITH On a morning from a Bogart movie in a country where they turned back time you go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre contemplating a crime. She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a water color in the rain. Don't bother asking for explanations. She'll just tell you that she came She doesn't give you time for questions as she locks up you arm in hers. And you follow 'til your sense of which direction completely disappears. By the blue-tiled walls near the market stalls there's a hidden door she leads you to. "These days," she says, "I feel my life just like a river running through Well she looks at you so cooly and her eyes shine like the moon in the sea. She comes in incense and pathchouli so you take her to find what's waiting inside Well morning comes and you're still with her and the bus and the tourists are gone. And you've thrown away your choice and lost your ticket so you have to stay on. But the drumbeat strains of the night remain in the rhythm of the newborn day. You know sometime you're bound to leave her but for now you're gonna stay Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands Sailing a reach before a followin' sea She was makin' for the trades on the outside, And the downhill run to Papeete Bay Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas We got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me, larger voices callin' What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten I have been around the world lookin' for that woman, girl Who knows love can endure And you know it will And you know it will When you see the Southern Cross for the first time You understand now why you came this way 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin' And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin' She is all that I have left and music is her name So we cheated and we lied and we tested And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do You will survive being bested But somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you In the Southern Cross The wall on which the prophets wrote is cracking at the seams Upon the instruments of death the sunlight brightly gleams When every man is torn apart with nightmares and with dreams Will no one lay the laurel wreath as silence drowns the screams Confusion will be my epitaph As I walk a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying Between the iron gates of fate the seeds of time were sown And watered by the deeds of those who know and who are known Knowledge is a deadly friend when no one sets the rules The fate of all mankind I see is in the hands of fools Confusion will be my epitaph As I walk a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh but I fear tomorrow I'll be crying. Where it began I can’t begin to know it But then I know it’s going strong Was in the spring, and spring became a summer Who’d have believe you’d come along Hands touching hands Reaching out touching me touching you Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good Im inclined to believe there never would But now I’m Look at the night and it don’t seem so lonely We fill it up with only two And when I hurt Hurting runs off my shoulder How can I hurt when holding you Warm touching warm Reachin out touching me touching you Hands touching hands Reaching out touching me touching you Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good Im inclined to believe there never would Oh no no Sun is shinin' in the sky, There ain't a cloud in sight It's stopped rainin' Everybody's in a play And don't you know It's a beautiful new day, hey hey Runnin' down the avenue, See how the sun shines brightly In the city on the streets Where once was pity, Mr. Blue Sky is living here today. Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why, You had to hide away For so long where did we go wrong. Hey there Mr. Blue We're so pleased to be with you Look around see what you do, Everybody smiles at you. Hey you with the pretty face, Welcome to the human race A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's Up there waitin' and today Is the day we've waited for Mr. Blue you did it right, But soon comes Mis - ter Night, Creepin' over, now his Hand is on your shoulder, Never mind I'll remember you this I'll remember you this way. Tonight my bag is packed Tomorrow I'll walk these tracks That will lead me across the border. Tomorrow my love and I Will sleep 'neath auburn skies Somewhere across the border. We'll leave behind my dear The pain and sadness we found here And we'll drink from Bravo's muddy water. Where the sky grows gray and wide We'll meet on the other side There across the border. or you I'll build a house High upon a grassy hill There across the border. Where and pain and memory Pain and memory have been stilled There across the border. And sweet blossoms fill the air Pastures of gold and green Roll down into the cool clear waters. And in your arms 'neath open skies I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes There across the border. Tonight we'll sing the songs I'll dream of you, my corazn And tomorrow my heart will be strong. And may the saints' blessings and grace Carry me safely into your arms There across the border. or what are we Without hope in our hearts That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters. And eat the fruit from the vine I know love and fortune will be mine Somewhere across the border. Sail on down the line About half a mile or so Don't really wanna know where you're going Maybe once or twice Time after time I tried To hold on to what we got But now you're going And I don't mind about the things you're gonna sail on I give all my money and my time I know it's a shame But I'm giving you back your name Yes, I'll be on my way I won't be back to stay I guess I'll move along I'm looking for a good time Sail on down the line Funny how the time can go Friends says they told me so but it doesn't matter It was plain to see That a small town boy like me Just wasn't your cup of tea I was wishful thinking I gave you my heart and I tried to make you happy And you gave me nothing in return You know it ain't so hard to say Would you please just go away I've thrown away the blues I'm tired of being used I want everyone to know I'm looking for a good time Good time
