You turn out the light
and the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
that shoulders in the night
and these tumbling boulders of desire
come rolling off the shadows of me
You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
as your lonely silhouette closes the curtain
back on the road destination uncertain
so lets get in this car and drive
and this feeling I feel so strong
so powerful it can't be wrong
now the whole frosted night is just a song
song for you
And the moon is splashed right over the street
like my tears on your thighs so pale
its just you and me in the sheets
and I hope the whole wide world is just a jail
when you're away from me
And its rolling on by
here come the night
turn out the light
and the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
that smoulders in the night tumbling boulders of desire
rolling, rolling...
rolling out the shadows of me
turn out the light
. . .

Tears falling slow
from the bridge
into the river below
in your eyes, I start to see
a starry veil,
the ocean of infinity
Moon and stars above me
mingle with the blood
inside my vein
these empty arms
that should be
holding you close
through nights of winter rain
I¡Їm trying to spell
what only the wind can explain
it's colder than ever
coming down
I¡Їm drowning in shallows
cos its in so deep
there's neon melting in the rain
took too much powder too sleep
cos when I hold you naked
when I see you laugh
I got a sword to stem the rivers
and cut the moon in half
Frozen stars above me
mingle with the blood
inside my vein
empty arms that should be
holding you close
through nights of winter rain
I¡Їm trying to spell
what only the wind can explain
it's colder than ever
coming down
We danced wild
kicked off our shoes
not a cloud
in the skies to confuse
now the sky is cold
the sea is wide
and there's nothing to be done
'cept reflecting the sun
and scratching the mountainside
Frozen stars above me
mingle with the blood
inside my vein
empty arms that should be
holding you close
through nights of winter rain
I¡Їm trying to spell
what only the wind can explain
it's colder than ever
coming down

All of my senses overthrown
by the might of your skin
and the lamplight on your cheek bone
drawing me further in
no sentence I can speak
for the wonder so unique
breaking like a wave upon the shore
mercy me, I'm falling free
since you opened up the door
See how the sky is made of sapphire
the colours flowing through our hands
the moon is fire in your hair
a million miles beyond what science understands
smell that mountain heaven
I don't remember ever
feeling like this before
mercy me, I'm falling free
since you opened up the door
and if every window pane should shatter
if every wall should fall apart
well it might hurt a bit
but would it matter
this diamond in my heart
there's no need to nail it to the ground
there's no need to smother it with sense
just listen to the rhythm of your heart
that pounds and trust it all to chance
'cause we're standing face to face
with the Angel of grace
and don't it just taste so pure
mercy me, I'm falling free
mercy me, I'm falling free
mercy me, I'm falling free
since you opened up the door
. . .

Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
roaring down the open road, wind on my skin
I¡Їm hungry to begin, my cup has overflown
so let fall the rain down into these desert veins
taking back what they stole
these diamonds in the mine
can afford to become fine
in someone else's pigeon hole
So I made up my mind
made up my mind
gonna move on ahead
instead of lagging behind
Half past seven way up in the heaven
the stars are singing in the sky
lying half dressed, your head upon my breast
listening to the ocean's lullaby
standing where we are, it seems so far
from the cold light of day
with the faces full of grief,
and the grinding up of teeth
has been eating my belief away
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
gonna move on ahead
instead of lagging behind
instead of lagging now..
Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe
shining down the avenue try to join the throng
but it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do
shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air
turn to watch the sun set red
and the ruins of a culture
of a sky that's filled with vultures
circling over your head
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
gonna move on ahead
instead of lagging behind
instead of lagging behind
I made up my mind....

The city gates at twilight
and a red ship sinking
behind winter's grey wall
ice in the wind
but a fire in the embers
of my heart
as darkness falls
in a candlelit room
where your eyes are laughing
smoking in the red chair
and nothing in the world
'cept the beating of my heart
against the nerves of the air
And I know there's a light
at the end of the tunnel
'cause I taste it on your lips
and I feel a weight
that can bend me double
you lift it with your fingertips
so often it happens
that words prove useless
in the face of how it feels
so it is as the mystery of love
keeps growing
the more my heart reveals
Temptations endless whispers
try to keep it in perspective
so much to distract
walking on a wire
while your juggling desire
it's all part of your balancing act
and it gets hard to know
just what you believe
as the argument rages on
but for all of the talk
it's only true to say
that if you have no hope
there is none
A tangle of tongues
flesh flowers and thistles
of conscience, spittle and skin
we can't change the past
so we'll raise this cup to our lips
and drink it all in
and meantime back in civilisation
the rain is cold as steel
but the mystery of love
it just keep growing
the more my heart reveals
As sure as the rose
the bright day blooms
as surely still it fades
and the night kindles stars
on empty winds
and ghosts along the collonades
and slow but sure
the sands are falling
as the bridge burns
beneath the wheel
and the mystery of love
it just keeps growing
the more my heart reveals
the more my heart reveals
. . .

Its a sad old world
that's turning tonight
as I slide through the streets
moonlight and memory burning
and in my hand your broken dream
My watery eyes
I sing for you this lullaby
let the shadow fall from your window
let the morning light fill your head
stand up and let the wild wind blow
right into your soul till the night is dead
All these useless emotions
churning round
as I search these bare walls for a clue
and all the time
the truth is flashing in my mind
that when a heart gets broken
there's nothing you can do
My watery eyes
I sing for you this lullaby
let the shadow fall from your window
let the morning light fill your head
stand up and let the wild wind blow
right into your soul till the night is dead
And I¡Їm packing my belongings
hey I¡Їll be gone before the noon arrives
cos I know there's no use pretending
soon it'll all be alright
But hey
let the shadow fall from your window
let the morning light fill your head
stand up and let the wild wind blow
right into your soul till the night is dead
See the dawn break gold
when the night is dead
Hear the bells
. . .

Weight on my shoulders
but I¡Їm walking so tall
out into the new horizon
wonder in everything
no matter how great or small
howlin' like the midnight
howlin' like the midnight sun
and this ain't no pale reflection
this is the real thing
new horizon
new horizon within
And your heart ain't yours to control
no matter how tight the reigns
love will find it's own direction
a time to reap, a time to sow
and many a time to cry in vain
but now the time to celebrate
the glory of this imperfection
same thing that's scrawled across the stars
is written under our skin
new horizon
new horizon within
Things come too easy, I get suspicious
things come too slow, I get bored
if it don't work out I get superstitious
but if it does, oh my word
So I¡Їm gathering all the remnants of beauty
from this wilderness in spin
and now I¡Їm gonna light my own flame
'cause I¡Їm charged with the radiance of the dawn
that's been so long breaking
now there ain't nowhere
there ain't nowhere I won't write your name
there's a time to search for understanding
sometime you just gotta sing
new horizon
new horizon within
Baby there's no need to get precious
when you know that everything must change
complacency, it can be so vicious
turn this love into a cage
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
is written under our skin
new horizon
new horizon within
. . .

It's like this
it's all in here
just one kiss
will make that clear
so let the flower open
let the ship sail
don't need no meaningless token
to hear the nightingale
For everything that's been
for all that's yet to come
brow full of moonbeams
singing loves old song
Beauty threads its needle
in every eye a light will shine
from the graveyard to the cradle
all the bells of wonder chime
no further complication
here for the queen or for the pawn
night of such revelation
the Jew is trembling on the thorn
For everything that's been
for all that's yet to come
brow full of moonbeams
singing loves old song
Loves old song
playing in our hearts
binding it together
pulling it apart
Loves old song
playing pure and bold
time has come to read
what's written in your soul
Yeah yeah yeah
Out in the fields of bloody slumber
shadows fleeing from the sun
without aim and without number
these children of oblivion
For everything that's been
for everything¡Їs that come
a brow full of moonbeams
singing loves old song
Loves old song
playing in our hearts
binding it together
pulling it apart
Loves old song
playing pure and bold
time has come to read
what's written there in your soul
Yah yah yeah
whoa oh oh
For everything that's been
for everything¡Їs that come
brow full of moonbeams
singing loves old song
. . .

As the bell must strike the hour
as the west must stab the sun
so our hearts
must heed the flow
of deeper tides that run
far beyond the bare indifference
that prosperity esteems
where the spirit
raves and dances
through our very veins
At winters edge you found me
by the fields of wild gold
my hands still filled with ashes
from fires long cold
you pulled me from the wreckage
of bitterness and blame
flung open the page
and put some flesh on
the bones of my dreams
On the streets
the blossom snowing
and the drum is beating slow
and I hear you speak so clear
well I¡Їm slicing through the fear
setting all the beacons
blazing, baby oh!
it's staring out plainer than ever
brighter than all the fools
gold that gleams
it's simply now or never
putting flesh on the bones
of my dreams
Putting flesh on the bones
of my dreams
putting flesh on the bones
of my dreams
And they can plunder
the cave of sorrows
they can strip the gallery bare
try to build a fence
around the visions
in our heads, choke every spark
in a cloak of despair
but we got something
they can't stifle
with their price tags
and picture frames
got a flower for every rifle
putting flesh on the bones of my dreams
