Attica Blues

Riding a beam of light
Light on your love tonight
You touched this child's delight
I'm high on your love
Who'd think someone could be
All that you are to me
I can't believe the joy you brought to me
A means to be so free

Instrumental

Is it possible for you to claim a land
You've never seen
To talk about a far away place you've
Never been
Imagine a city buried beneath the sea
An ideallic island
Calm and serene
Untouched by civilizations uncivilized
Hane lies a land at
20,000 leagues

Fighting over street corners but never
Own the rocks
Homeboys closest to the foundations when
Lying in a box
Imagining cities butried beneath the sea
And ideallic islands calm and serene
Untouched by civilizations uncivilized
Hand lies a land at
20,000 leagues

Hidden from discovery
Faith remains the same
Underground street heroes never played
The game
And then columbus came
Introduced his ways
His midas touch turned golden sands back
Into dust
Now morals rusting and decaying
Where is where is
Atlanta

Backstreet ways
Crowded dorways
The darkness scares you
Do you dare to look into those eyes
Their kindness must disguise
Ulterior motives
Will you ever know if the shadow's that
Follow are only yours
Don't look behind
Keep your eyes on the road
Trust yourself
But none else
My friend
Extend a hand
But beware
Of the ones that bite

Synonymous with the anonymous
No one knows you
When you know no one
The life you lead is one of solitaire
Samaritans run the streets
And yet to me they seem ever empty

Instrumental

From paper to pen, from pen to paper
Breathe these whispered words
From what was once, to what now has to be
Breathe these whispered words
And when the blue ink dries, and when we both have cried

Only tender teardrops will remain...

When night-time falls and the air draws cold
Candles flicker, flames, i close my eyes dreaming you are here
Waiting for your shadow, to appear
And what seems strange once our words fade away, is that

Only tender teardrops will remain
Only tender teardrops will remain

I felt the wind behind me, i turned but you weren't there
I felt the wind behind me, i turned but you weren't there, now

Only tender teardrops will remain...

Instrumental

Lost in mirrored labyrinths i strive to find
Anyway to escape
And leave it all behind
But the dense layer lingers on
With promised blue skies beyond
What once were rainbows
Now hazy shades of pastel grey
Circles ever viscious
Content ever sparse
Will i really ever live to tell the
Bitter tale of my quest?

Wandering through the corridors of time
I find wider divides
Primordial plans for a new day dawning
Without mourning
Past moons
That once shone on the ones that today
Left behind
Visionary dreams dissolve in our hands
Such potent potential for transcending
Dimensions
Do you pass or do you fail on the
Consciousness scale
Do your inhibitions lie in body or mind
Are you relying on that silver lining?

Bewitched
Bewildered
And
Begulied
I lie
Like the tornado's eye
Whilst all around you the madness swirls
Until drawn in
It hurls you high
And lets you fly for a while
But then it lets you fall
It lets you
It makes you
Fall...
