Silence

Her face is down
And her fingers hang loose
Like horsetail cigarettes
Looks like half a man is all she gets tonight
My little hercules
Never hurt anyone
And he's the only way of getting home
So when you're between her lips
And the spine of her bed
When everything turns red
Well i see red as well
When you see the colour of love
I see the colour of hell

I lose myself
And i fall away
Past the sad and long dog days
Through a world in which i don't belong anymore
Past the barstool boys
Who take and take me anyhow
But they never take you away

So when you fall beneath her sheets
I lose my head
When everything goes red
Well i see red as well
When you see the colour of love
I see the colour of hell

Lord, lead me on
To a world that i can no longer find
My dear you are all the time

You are all i see sweet obsession in my soul
Fill each moment with your voice
Breathe your beauty into me

Would i die for you no i live for you
You know i do you know i do

You are all i know
Your mouth is all i taste
My breast between your lips
My tongue upon your waist

Would i die for you i live for you
You know i do you know i do

And though you never will be mine
I will ieve to know that you have touched me
Once upon a time

You are all i am

And everything i feel
Your words are all i understand
But you're not real

Would i die for you i live for you
You know i do you know
I do
I do

Frightened of the shadow on the wall
I think it looks a bit too much like me
Search my life for evidence of truth
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Terrified my tongue will now betray
All the lies that i'd been taught to say
Searched your eyes for evidence of love
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear the child tears
Whose paradise was taken from his hands
Can you hold him in your arms
And tell him that you'll try to understand
When there's no way in hell you can
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Afraid to break the silence in the room
Disbelieving faces stare me down
Seardch the world for evidence of faith
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear the child tears
Whose paradise was taken from his hands
Can you hold him in your arms
And tell him that you'll try to understand
When there's no way in hell you can
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

There's a frost in the air
Summer doesn't want to play
They've taken down the fair
And the leaves have all blown away

They say everything must die
For a new life to begin
In the seasons of our love
I feel the winter setting in

Through this bitter, bitter cold i thought i'd always
Have you to hold me through the storm
And keep me warm through this bitter, bitter cold

The sun has kissed your face
Your tears in my hair
You say it's time to go my friend
You feel it in the air

And like the moon upon the water
Gives diamonds to the sea
I pray that when the snow is gone
You'll return to me

Through this bitter, bitter cold i thought i'd always
Have you to hold me through the storm
And keep me warm through this bitter, bitter cold

And if there is such a thing
As winter in the spring
Then i'll make angels
And i'll see you in the wings
Of this bitter, bitter cold...

If you could see me now
I wonder what you'd say
Would you turn to smile at me
Or would you turn away
If you could see me now

If you could hold me now
I wonder what you'd feel
Would it all come back to you
What would memories reveal

And you will never know
Until you're standing in my shoes
Just how much you can love someone
And how much you can lose
And if i could make you turn around
To see how we were then
Just one look into my eyes
You'd fall in love again
If you could see me now

If you could hear me now
I'd whisper in your ear
That i will always love you
And you know that i am here
If you could hear me now

And you will never now...
