Turquoise
Dreams - 2000
Listen
The day is sunny there’s not a cloud
in the air
Your eyes are shining diamonds your soul bears
With all this spinning everyone is so dizzy
But we’re still standing like a wind beaten tree
Listen do you hear the tears falling down
Listen do you know the sound
I believe in you ah ah
I believe in you ah ah
The sea is melting and hope’s on holiday
The words you’re speaking soft postcards from the rain
And the walls are bleeding to the beat of indifference
Lost in your smile the air falls and leaves us aflame
Listen do you hear the tears falling down
Listen do you know the sound
I believe in you ah ah
I believe in you ah ah
You know there’s nothing new with swimming thru the carpet halls
You know there’s nothing you can do to keep down what’s inside
of you
Your eyes are shining diamonds your soul bears
The day is sunny there’s not a cloud in the air
Listen do you hear the tears falling down
Listen
I believe in you…
Sweet Bird
Broken sign in a
broken window
I know just how it feels
The wind breaks just for a second
And in this I see your eyes
A loss of thought is your disease
Everyone needs to be free
People without chains on their ankles
People without words to hold them down
It's the healing wing
Fly on sweet bird
Do as you've learned
Fly on sweet bird
Do as you've heard and be free
Just to think about her
Can send me so far away
It's so hard to leave here sometimes
It's so hard for me to stay
It's the healing wing
Chorus
Turquoise Dreams
Turquoise dreams in the night
Plagued by problems I just can't fight
Left out today left out tomorrow
It doesn't bother me the way it does
Synthetic airplanes can take us all away
And different gardens grow different hearts
The flagpole stands on the top of the hill
And it's gonna be there always
It won't blow away
Like a butterfly
Like an ocean rolling
Like a circus fire in the night
A heart can burn a heart can roll on
But it doesn't go away it doesn't go away
Lava wind pushes me from town to town
And starlit mornings make me think of a song
I can't remember the name or the melody
It's gonna be there for me
Fourfold centuries
Chorus
The air is silent
My thoughts are tied up
I'm moving on
Chorus
October
Walkin in shadows to my knees I seem
to be sinking
Standin in meadows with the breeze waiting for your touch
But I am not to you as you are to me seems I’ll be here awhile
I’ve walked for many miles many seasons have changed and time
leaves me alone
Ah in the distance the horizon calls my name
All you have to do is the same
Ah in the distance the clouds have gone away
All you seem to do is the same
The sun doesn’t rise soon enough for me I’m always asleep
The world is growing right before our eyes or we’re shrinking
What can we harvest if we don’t plant a thing are we just the
dreamers
I’ve seen the sun set too many times to just walk away
Chorus
Follow your dreams she said as she turned to leave
Well what am I still doing here
Follow your dreams she said as she turned to me
Well what are you still doing here
What am I still doing here
Chorus
Follow your dreams she said as she turned to leave
Well what am I still doing here
Follow your dreams she said as she turned to me
Well what are you still doing here
What am I still doing here
Invisible Man
The
mist surrounds me
And swims with my thoughts
You always astounded me
You always broke my heart
You know I’m happy in blue
I know you give what you ruin
Won’t you see me
Won’t you see me
The invisible man
Your smile can melt me
Like rain on a sunny fall afternoon
Incandescent candle burns the freeze
But no glow will unthaw you
You know I’m happy in blue
I know you dust what you run thru
Chorus
Distant broken words
Whispered in the darkness
From one heart to the air
And again
You know I’m happy in blue
I know you never keep what you use
Won’t you see me
Won’t you see me
Won’t you free me
Won’t you free me
Won’t you see me
Won’t you free me
Won’t you see me
Won’t you see me
The invisible man
The
Dream is Dead
I
just sit back and watch with wonder as I lose my grip
And I fall and I fall time and time again
But I don't question what I'm doing I don't regret what I did
And I'd do it again 'cause all I've lost is my head
The dream is dead and I am not
The dream is dead and I have lost
I picture you're not happy and you are sad
To give me comfort in what I never had
But I know you're happy like you've always been
So it's just me once again
(Chorus)
I just sit back and watch with wonder as I loose my grip
And I fall time and time again
But I don't question what I'm doing it's too hard to forget
And I do it again 'cause all I've lost is my head
(Chorus)
There
She Goes
The water is hot
yet it sends shivers down her spine
She runs outside in tears and shouts at the sky
The winter night slaps burning kisses on her skin
"You know this isn't right" she screams as she takes a sip
of gin
Won't someone catch her please
A girl in a field of daisies a pale blue gingham dress
Matching braids like Dorothy's and a locket on her chest
Those perfect frozen memories that she's banished from her mind
Misty thoughts of a better time that she's somehow left behind
Won't someone catch her please
There she goes floating away
There she goes won't someone save her please
There she goes floating away
There she goes
She brushes her hair back out of her eyes
They glisten in the moonlight of the marshmallow night
She opened up her heart to him he answered with a glare
She cried out loud for help but somehow no-one saw her there
Can't someone show her please
(Chorus)
What is this confusion this loss of colored thought
This smiling black illusion this frigid twisted knot
She's forgotten how to dream she's stringing up that rope
She's forgotten how to forgive herself forgotten how to hope
(Chorus)
Delusions
Do you hear the calmness as it shouts your name
Do you feel the stares
Do you listen to Alice spreading her tales
Or do you turn away
But tonight I am real
And the feeling I feel
Says I should stay
My delusions are real I am not the same
My delusions are real they carry my name
My delusions are real they are to blame
For this feeling
For this trust
Polluting our minds with indifference
Is not what it seems
Wasting what you can’t remember it all fades away
To feel the blame
But tonight I am real
And the feeling I feel
Says I should stay
My delusions are real I am not the same
My delusions are real they carry my name
My delusions are real they are to blame
For this feeling
For this trust
For this love
So think this time turn around you’ll find
Where you belong
So catch up with time run along the line
It’s not following you
But tonight I am real
And the feeling I feel
Says I should stay
Chorus
Bridge/ oooohhhhh…
Façade
Open
your eyes as looking thru blinds to see the dawn explode
As you do you get lost in yourself searching for a new face
But who you scream as your mind begins to bleed
Who could ride the waves of the deep blue dark
Closing your eyes you see the footprint of an empty dream
Cross the border to everything faded yellow into green
Blinding light slips behind as you smile as you’re forced out of
your cage
Your lips are moving
I don’t hear what I see
The future can hold no promises and like you it just leads me on
Ask yourself this you troubled little fool how high can you get on
your little footstool
Your lips are soothing
I don’t feel what I need
Your lips stopped moving
I still hear what you mean
Angel
by my Side
In
the darkness of the night
I see your face in my eyes
In the mirror in the mirror
And everything’s better
And everything’s fine
Nothing could be better
If we could spend some time together oh
And if I go down swingin’
I didn’t throw the fight
And if I go down swingin’
I’ve still got my angel by my side
In the darkness of the sky
I feel the clouds in my eyes
Like a fever in the mirror
And everything’s better
And everything’s fine
Nothing could be better
If we could spend some time together oh
And if I go down swingin’
I didn’t throw the fight
And if I go down swingin’
I’ve still got my angel by my side
I might fall in love with you (4x)
And
if I go down swingin’
I didn’t throw the fight
And if I go down swingin’
I’ve still got my angel by my side
