Paroles :

HE'S LOST

Sleeps in your bed,
Eats from your bread;
God only knows what
The neighbors say.
He empties the bottle,
Says never again;
Wanna believe
That it's gonna change

But all of this time
You've been lying
So no one ever knows.
And all of this time
You've been trying
To save unwilling souls.

Hurry home through the night;
He's lost without you,
Lost without you.
Hurry home to his side;
He's lost.

Begs your forgiveness,
His only friend,
Starting all over
Closer to the end.
With or without him,
Facing a void,
Somehow it feels like
You have no choice

But all of this time
You've been lying
So no one ever knows.
And all of this time
You've been trying
To save unwilling souls.

Hurry home through the night;
He's lost without you,
Lost without you.
Hurry home to his side;
He's lost.

Do you really think your love
Is gonna save him, alone?
Well, take my advice,
Unless you're Christ,
It won't, no it won't.

Sleeps in your bed,
Eats from your bread;
God only knows what
The neighbors say.
He empties the bottle,
Says never again;
Wanna believe
That it's gonna change...

Hurry home through the night;
He's lost without you,
Lost without you.
Hurry home to his side;
He's lost.

Paroles :

SLEEPWALK

He works, he sleeps
He knows his history
He reads, he dreams
So much ability

He drives Northwest
Up the interstate
The snow falls slow
Hypnotic and opaque

Bright with life,
He leaves behind
Endless days
And longer nights
His eyes are wide,
His ears are numb
Filled with pulsating
Engine hum

Don't rush by unseeing
Through the places
And the pleasures of the ride
(Take it all in)
Don't skim through the pages
Of the ponderous volume
That describes your life
(Don't miss a word)
Some seek distraction
Just to pass the time,
Not entertain
We sometimes sleepwalk
Sacrificing joy to numb the pain

I saw the scene
I didn't want to see
Steel, glass, debris
Stranger, rest in peace

How could he know
When he awoke
That this was the day
His book would close?
Have you thrived
Or just survived
If this were the day
You said goodbye?

Don't rush by unseeing
Through the places
And the pleasures of the ride
(Take it all in)
Don't skim through the pages
Of the ponderous volume
That describes your life
(Don't miss a word)
Some seek distraction
Just to pass the time,
Not entertain
We sometimes sleepwalk
Sacrificing joy to numb the pain

We sometimes sleepwalk

Paroles :

REMAINS OF THE DAY

Ghost at the gate,
Why don't we go
Over the lay of the land?
Memories fade,
But I can feel them
Wade through the sun
And the shade.

Who owns the hills and lakes
When they're just a thought,
Remains of the day?
See how the landscape changed
Till it's gone, it's lost;
Surely you know the way.

Glossy and glazed,
Summer's sweet hold
Carries us far and away.
Lost in a haze,
Green and golden
Out in the fields
Where we played.

Who owns the hills and lakes
When they're just a thought,
Remains of the day?
See how the landscape changed
Till it's gone, it's lost;
Surely you know the way.

Can't go home again;
I close my eyes and
Follow the path
To the place.
Keeping it safe,
I can be there
Lost in a world
Time erased.

Who owns the hills and lakes
When they're just a thought,
Remains of the day?
See how the landscape changed
Till it's gone, it's lost;
Surely you know the way.

Paroles :

MIDSUMMER FIRES

Midnight midsummer
Sun won't leave the sky
Here's a fire for the burning
A light to lead the turning

The turning of the sun
Down the season's slide
The burning of the sun
That keeps us all alive
The turning of the sun
Down the season's slide
Toward the harvesting of grain
And the long white time

Midsummer fires burn
In my heart
Midsummer fires burn
Midsummer fires burn
In my heart
Midsummer fires burn

Midnight midsummer
Flames scrape through the sky
Watch them catch
On the horizon
Watch them rise
Higher and wilder

In the shadows
Of the flickering folds
The embers fill the dusk
With their rust and gold
In the shadows
Of the flickering folds
Forge a purified world
Out of the old

Midsummer fires burn
In my heart
Midsummer fires burn
Midsummer fires burn
In my heart
Midsummer fires burn

Midnight midsummer
Sun won't leave the sky
Here's a fire for the burning
A light to lead the turning...

Stakes and twigs
And garlands green
Midsummer fires burn

Birch and blossom
Moss and leaves
Midsummer fires burn

Copper coins
Old boats and barrels
Midsummer fires burn

Climb right up the
Witch's ladder
Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires burn

Build it up
With bricks and beams
Midsummer fires burn

Douse it all
With gasoline
Midsummer fires burn

Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires
Midsummer fires burn

Keep feeding me
Keep feeding me
Till all I can see
It's all I can see
