I'M NOT AFRAID OF DREAMING

THE SUN WENT DOWN

THE SKY ON FIRE

THROUGH THE PINES

MY DESIRE

SO MUCH

PRECIOUS TIMES

I SQUEEZED EVERY HOUR  

FROM A DAY 

 

I LAY ME DOWN

TO SLEEP

I'M NOT AFRAID OF DREAMING

THIS SIDE

THAT SIDE

YOU KNOW

SOMEONES LYING 

WHO IS IT

WHO WILL END UP CRYING 

FIND IT WASN'T

WHAT YOU THOUGHT

IT GOES AGAINST

THE THINGS

YOU'VE BEEN TAUGHT

 

ANY NUMBER

OF A HUNDRED THINGS 

A THOUSAND REASONS

WHY IT WOULD NEVER WORK

THE SADNESS COMES

AT YOU IN WAVES

THE ONLY ONE

THAT IT SAVES

IS YOU

DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT

THAT THERE IS TWO

 

 

SEMBLANCE

 

 

SEMBLANCE

HERE I AM AGAIN

I THINK THAT I'VE BEEN   

PUSHING TOO HARD

A LITTLE TOO TENSE 

ON MY GUARD

OUT ON THE ROAD

CHASING DREAMS 

TRADING TIME

FOR DAYS IT SEEMS 

JUST TO LIVE NOW

 

DETERMINED AS I'VE ALWAYS BEEN 

TO GET TO

THE OTHER SIDE

LEAVE ALL THIS BEHIND

HOPE THAT I CAN FIND 

SOME SEMBLANCE OF MIND 

SOME HIGHER GROUND

MORALLY SOUND

 

GENTLE SEAS

LAPPING AT THE SAND 

SUN RAYS

WARM DAYS

THAT'S MY PLAN

LAY DOWN MY HAND

AND HOPE ITS KING

MUCH HAPPINESS

IT BRINGS

TO YOU

IT WAS WORTH IT ALL

IF YOU DO 

 

 

BURNING IN THE SUN

 

BURNING IN THE SUN

BELIEVE ME 

I'VE WALKED ALONE

THE ROAD

ALL MADE OF STONE 

THE KISS WAS FAST

CAME AND WENT

NOT TO LAST 

 

THE DIVISION

REAL ENOUGH TO FEEL 

WHAT'S A HEART LEFT

BURNING IN THE SUN 

SAND CASTLES

CRUMBLING IN THE TIDE

THE TIME APPLIED

THE HURT IN YOUR EYES

WOULD IT GO AWAY

IF I WAS TO SAY

I FOUND LOVE AGAIN 

 

WHAT'S THE CHANCE

THE UNEXPECTED

ITS HUMAN NATURE TO RISE

WIPE THE ASHES

FROM YOUR EYES  

CLEARLY SEE ME

MADE TO BE

THE ONE

YOU CALL

I'M HANGING ON 

TO ANYTHING I CAN  

AT ALL
