TRIPtych

So a crowd he gathered around us
I'm pining one last kiss
I'm struggling with the lifeline
In the shadow of this bliss

Patience my love it'll all be alright

But ain't it funny how the fates work
I feel cheated by the turn
Still this love it hovers over us
And the lessons that we've learned

Patience my love it'll all be alright

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And i fade from memories
And move on

We were lost inside a wasteland
Of fools groping for the gold
I wonder if they'll think of us
While they're still searching for their souls

Patience my love it'll all be alright

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And i fade from memories
And move on

So never put it out my love
The spirit is the flame that burns within
Hold on to me
And it'll all be alright
Sleep now is descending like a dream
Still i'm shaking from the softness of your skin
Hold on to me
And it'll all be alright

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And i fade from memories
And move on
May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you
You'll go on
Sweet lover go on
My love be strong

broken moments in time could still shine
but they're getting old
if you could see the world with my eyes
you'd be so surprised at what you'd know
so, if you see my angel of light
with her sweet wine
could you let me know

because i think she's gone again

fatal are these moments of trust
that pleases us and who would know
helped here by the passions of life
now strife won't let me go
so, if you see my angel of light
with her sweet wine
i think she needs to know

that i've gone again
i've really gone again
i think i'm gone again
so lonely

please would you tell me my friend
which direction is the way
because i'm lost, i'm confused
the reality we choose
is a long, long way from the dream

all you'll feel is pain and suffering
wading through samsara

yes but i've heard that before
from those teachers of dreams
but it's old and it's cold
i just can't feel it in my soul
am i damned to a life of extremes

all you'll feel is pain and suffering
wading through samsara

but i've looked to the east
and i've prayed in the west
what i know, i've seen
you just couldn't imagine
where i've been
and i feel at this time
i just need to rest
and i'd like us to stay here
i would love us to stay here
would you let me stay here, please...

you say it's all about intention
a chimera in disguise
its about your life, the greed
the loneliness it needs now
just to say you;ve claimed the prize
of letting go...

you say you're all about your virtue
but it's a harlequin of shame
you look around confused by the sound
of intention gone aground now
because it's all about the fame

and now you're letting go
but it's a little late
there's little time to show
so tell me now...
would you do it all again...
could you do it all again...

you say it's all about
forgiveness now...
well you can grovel if you'd like
but turn around,
do you hear that sound
that's integrity gone aground now
in the name of sacrifice

a view from a broken window
i can hardly breathe
clouds are forming faces
and they laugh at me

strange desires
under friendly skies
but it's alright it still feels nice

it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain

it gives me a line and i cross it
an acrobat graced with skill
getting your freedom's easy
surviving it's harder still

strange desires
under friendly skies
but it's alright it still feels nice

it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain

and the race is on
i'm all out of sync now
and the hands withdrawn
i'm out of sync now
is there nothing more
it's taking me away
i'm seeking shelter from the pain
i'm holding on again
seeking shelter from the pain
it's taken me

i don't need your redemption
i don't want you to deceive me
and I don't need your forgiveness
i only want you to believe me
do you see me here
i'm standing naked
do you see me here on my knees
now all my life i've been wandering
looking for teachers with the keys
nothing found still searching
for sound...
underground
now let me tell you about a story
it's about a man consumed with vice
theosophical in nature
and hedonistic in disguise
and all my life he's been wandering
searchign for teachers with the keys
nothing found still searching for sound
underground...
