Waited for you my son

You’ve come all this way

to be what you ought to be

It never crossed my mind

Passages of time would fade

Go up

And so they say

it’s written on the graves

of people who have lost their way

But you, my friend are with me till the end

No matter what those people have to say

And on we ride abandoned suicide long before I knew what I could say

It’s with this life that I put down the knife and put away those silly games we played

Well you know how it goes, the story’s old there’s no more to be told

You might just be god almighty busting down my door

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

And in the light of that moonlit night

I never thought I’d end up this way

How easily it falls away from me and slips through my fingers

Well you know how it goes, the story’s old there’s no more to be told

You might just be god almighty busting down my door

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

I can’t see it

You don’t believe it

Everything I knew before

It doesn’t matter anymore

Broken bruised and battered now

You’re only seventeen

Car crash queen you should’ve been

A legend on the screen

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

Serpentine at seventeen

Smooth moves landed you on the hard grooves

she was the knife and I the slice

pulled apart rolled the dice

They pick you up put you back on solid ground

Watch your head hit that cold hard concrete ground

it was the knife, and I the slice

Pulled apart rolled the dice

Hold till they fold their cards just right

Play it safe, say goodnight

Seventeen at twenty-t

Shuffling fool out on E.C. avenue

Just one more thing before I call it all off

Let me be the one to shoot first in the stand off

Hold till they fold their cards just right

In just three days let it fall down and make things right

Play it safe say goodnight

let it be to all the ones who caused you strife

Let me be the one to take it on home on the third night

You hold you fold they call your bluff

You hold you fold they call your name

Hold till they fold their cards just right

In just three days let it fall down, repay all who caused you strife

Play it safe say goodnight

Let it be to all the ones who caused you strife

Let me be the one to take it on home on the third night

You grew older older older older older old

If I take another step I think I just might slip into the bramble

Tripping on a memory, you were just a dream it seems

Those little hands that bind you don’t mean a thing like I do

You’re just as blind as I knew

Tripping on a memory, you were just a dream it seems

Beneath the sunny skies you lie

The breath of morning’s just a sigh

And so we take another step into the sunrise

The dawn is calling out I’m

Tripping on a memory, you were just a dream it seems

And as I turn into the sky

The thunderclouds just pass me by

In a dream I believe

Two hands guide me out into the echoing dawn

In a dream

Open your heart and let love in

Surrender yourself to the one that you love

The One

And if I take another step I think I just might slip into the bramble neath the roaring sky I’m

Tripping on a memory, you were just a dream it seems

Furthest from my everything, you were just a memory

Silver morning, light adorning

The giver and taker hold the line

Still you heed the warning

Make up your mind

you’ve said it this time

be what you want to be

Never a thought in his head unless the heart go to bed

Never forget what honest said

Silver Morning

Slowly to pull on the thread unravel it till you’re dead

It comes in waves

It comes in waves

It’s bound to take your soul away

And bring you back to better days

When you were feeling the sundown

Don’t go away

When you were feeling the let down

So far away

When you were feeling the sundown

Don’t go away

Don’t go away

Silver Morning

Light Adorning

It comes in waves

It comes in waves

It’s bound to take your soul away

It comes in waves

It comes in waves

it comes

it comes

it comes

Too much money to spend on anybody

I’m bleeding it out in the money-go-round

Where does it all go, nobody ever knows

But still the bills it spills blood on my paper

Never in my life I said

Would I get to be so red

Until I got out alive

I’ve been waiting for this moment all of my life

Little girl with your bushy blonde hair

Walking around like you’re so debonaire

You’ll never see them take the piss out of you

And now you’re broke so what’ll you do

Never gonna get a decent bed

Never gonna get to spend your bread

Never gonna see you for what you were supposed to be

In the light oh so bright I shook the hand of some man

Apparently he decides if I should leave or I thrive

Or I thrive

Yeah

Now back to you

Never gonna be the one at nineteen

Never gonna be the one the college grad

Never gonna be the one at nineteen

Never gonna be the one yeah

Sick sick so very sick so sick of being ill

One hand’s too many hands but two just won’t do

I’ll see you in the morning, what becomes of you now

Leaving the left better off left alone

Two wrongs don’t make a right write right again

How right you are, you’ll never be a star

You don’t know what I wouldn’t do for just two more phalangese man

Faking hard hard to fake just keep on reciting the claims that you stake

I’ll love you forever until you’re feeling better

I don’t need your sympathy

Too bad I can’t pretend it doesn’t bother me at all

This sickness is killing me

I don’t wanna die

I want to get out

And do better, better it’s true

I did my time, you just wait and see

I suggest you keep your distance

It feels like a dream to me

Don’t give up

So let me begin, start it over again

I did my time and now I’m alive

and i’m better better it’s true

I did my time and this is how it goes

You’re feeling better now you’re worse

You’re feeling better now you’re very worse

Leave me alone I need some rest

You’re feeling better now you’re worse

You’re feeling better now you’re very worse

Leave me alone I need some rest

You’re feeling better now you’re worse

You’re feeling better now you’re very worse

Leave me alone I need some rest

So let me begin start it over again

I did my time

And now

I’m alive

Bury me piece by piece

Underneath the juniper tree

It’s where i belong singing my song

Sitting still for everyone

Shining on the seventh day like the Rays out of the setting sun

Won’t you bring me someone to Make my heart flutter and sway

Without love what do you live for Seasons change the reason why

And with a Judas kiss you give me this

Euphoria and bliss its true

How rude it’s out of the blue

Feels like yesterday

Weeping willow reap what you sow

A whisper in the wind of your name

If i gave you everything I had

And I traded everything i own

It wouldn’t be enough and it wouldn’t satisfy you

The summer breeze is here today

The clouds have all been washed away

And finally i see what I’ve been missing

Without love what do you live for Seasons change the reason why

And with a Judas kiss you give me this

Euphoria and bliss it’s true

How rude it’s out of the blue

Feels like yesterday

Weeping willow reap what you sow

I’ll see you in the afterglow

How rude its out of the blue

Feels like yesterday

Weeping willow reap what you sow

A whisper in the wind of your name

Weeping willow reap what you sow

A whisper in the wind of your name

It seems we all decide to run and hide from this our living end

but still we’re reaching out for more we know the tide is at the shore

Early morning in the moonlight underneath the star shine

Spell a secret to the shadows whisper in the dark light

If we get along will we be so strong that we see it through?

never have I ever felt like this

a moment slips and your still turning every time we kiss

Early morning in the moonlight underneath the star shine

Spell a secret to the shadows whisper in the dark light

If we get along will we be so strong that we say i do

Could love be so wrong

If we get along will we be so strong that we will carry on?

If we get along will we be so strong that we see it through?

Could love be so wrong

If we get along will we be so strong that we will carry on?

Yeah

Come on come in let the show begin

The air is electric the room is on fire

Under the spotlight the feeling expires

The lights are low

Enjoy the show

You know the reason you’re depressed

I don’t want to be the great pretender

Why should I be anyone but me?

It’s up to your heart to be open from the start

Come on come in let the show begin

The people are talking they’re looking for more

There’s no denying you’ll settle the score

The lights are low

Enjoy the show

I don’t want to be the great pretender

Why should I be anyone but me?

I said I don’t want to be

I don’t want to see the great pretender

Why should I be, why should I see anyone but me?

I don’t want to be the great pretender

Why should I be anyone but me

Yeah I don’t want to be the great pretender

Why should I be anyone but me

Yeah I don’t want to be the great pretender

Why should I be anyone but me

I’ve been thinking of another time before time began

I’ve been dreaming of another life before life begin

Seems like yesterday can’t be this way

No matter how I try to hold on it fades

Take on step outside the door

Can’t look back not anymore

One more step closing the door

Can’t look back not anymore

Let it all go

Leave it behind

It’s not you now

You don’t need to hide

Dreaming of times we loved

Never knowing what we’re after

In the end it’s all that matters

Even though it seems like yesterday can’t be this way

No matter how I try to hold on it fades

Dreaming of times we loved

Never knowing what we’re after

In the end it’s all that matters

Dreaming of times we loved

In the shadow of hereafter

On and on we turn the chapter

I believe it happened for a reason

I believe the changing of the season

I’m just a long lost toy

This is the Ballad of the Bad Luck Boy

And I know I’m gonna change it

yes I know I’m gonna change it

I believe the ending is just the start of a brand new beginning

When I was younger

I used to believe in the palm of my hand

Lost in the wonder of the lines and the plans

Seems like yesterday can’t be this way

No matter how I try to hold on it fades

When I was younger

When I was younger

Take on step outside the door

Can’t look back not anymore

One more step, closing the door

It comes in waves

It comes in waves

It’s bound to take your soul away

It comes in waves

It comes in waves

It’s bound to take your soul away

It comes in waves

It comes in waves

It’s bound to take your soul away

And bring you back to better days
