Woke up late today to see a red horizon
Surely by now you are getting near
Bring only what you can carry on your shoulders
Baby we must be getting out of here
Bring a memory and something to think of me
That you can turn to if I fall behind
But don't you worry no don't you fear
I have hope that we will be alright
And our world is dying here
We can't live in the city no more
But where do we go from here baby
When no where is safe anymore
Take you far from here and into the mountains
Where we can find a place to call our home
Make our life out there away from disorder
And live a dream that we have dreamed before
I know you are confused how did we lose?
How could everything be falling apart
Well there's no god's out there with any sense of care
It was our pride that had come before the fall
And our world is dying here
We can't live in the city no more
But where do we go from here baby
When no where is safe anymore
In this chemical confusion it's hard to sleep at night.
Though it might not be all who are delusioned
We must fight to survive.
I don't want to lose it all, no my darling.
We've just gotta find our way.
In this chaos and destitution, we now live only to stay alive.
And our world is dying here
We can't live in the city no more
But where do we go from here baby
When no where is safe anymore

I shouldn't have bothered,
I shouldn't have set my sail.
I didn't know that you were the only one
'cause I believed
the fish in the sea were
big enough for me to take back home
And I've got a bottle
but nothing to write on
I'll speak in the words
and hope that they make it to you my love
Miles on the ocean
just so that I can tell you, tell you how I feel
And I know yes I know
I know it's too late
But there's an aching in my soul
that I can't escape
no no baby no
and I know that you must go
but I wish you'd wait and stay with me for a while
Lost in a desert
I am set to wander
I've got a rose
and I'm dreaming in illusions of my love
days without water
just so that I can see you
see you in my arms
The sand and the Sun
have become a burning waste land
I'm not alone
but I know that you'll be far away from here
You're going home
and all I can do is miss you
miss you and how I feel
And I know yes I know
I know it's too late
But their's an aching in my soul
that I can't explain
And I know that you must go
But I wish you'd wait
and stay with me for a while

Garden of Love

I am a soul,
I was a winter,
and now I'm glad that I found you.
Now I know, where flows the river,
and the place where i'll go to live beside you.
In the sun, yeah it will render...and grow..
We could be in love and I'd plant you next to me
You could be a tree as long as I could be some weeds
and crawling in the dark breaking sound on the leaves
as we're walking through this garden on our dirty hands and knees.
I forego, all of myself..
To open up myself to you,
and I'll run, when you're in sorrow,
To stand there beside you.
In the sun, yeah it will render...and grow...
We could be in love and I'd plant you next to me
You could be a tree as long as I could be some weeds
and crawling in the dark breaking sound on the leaves
as we're walking through this garden on our dirty hands and knees.

I could be your friend,
But we both know, it's at an end.
There are things that I regret,
and every day now, I can't forget.
So is it a series of mistakes,
that keeps me here, and you away
And I know, yes I know
I closed an open door
I've burned some bridges
trying to find my way.
And I'll go, and I'll try
To make them all smile,
But what's the point in living
If this life don't change.
I wish that I could be a man,
That could have all love for all I am
But every stranger that I meet,
I fear can't possibly see me.
But I guess that this is what you get,
When you hide away, or pretend.
And I know, yes I know
I closed an open door
I've burned some bridges
trying to find my way.
And I'll go, and I'll try
To make them all smile,
But what's the point in living
If this life don't change.
I tried to look inside a soul my friend.
With nothing to show but my fears again.
Well who am I, with selfish eyes, my dear.
When it won't matter and will disappear...in the end..
