Difference

I need to look, see through any window
I need to look see through my window
I need to see the difference it makes

when daylight says hello... then turns away
and darkness is your stranger comin' in from
the cold and... then turns away

'cause my new mornin' says hello
and...
I need to look through my window
without any restraint, I need to look
to see the difference it makes

Comin' in

It's been a long time
catchin' up 'till we drop
in to a sweat we break
we know it'll never stop

it keeps us alive for those times
when again our light comes up
and shines

it's how we live an' live
it's how we give an' give
workin' the train again
for countless weeks an' days
will he come back in the rain

it's a lonely night
rain doesn't seem to lift
there's a train on the run
wonder when he's  comin' in

I just don't know, when he'll show
all I can do is wait
I hear the sound of the gate
I turn over and stay

I hear him turn in
now I'm wide awake
he stirs me with his imagination
leads me in to the early morning

I go down, come up again
back to where he is
inviting me to the same
I don't resist, it's been so long
I know  what I've missed

I get dressed, just for breakfast
sent the kids on their way
starting all over again
making up for all those days
wonder when he'll come agian

my heaven , lyrics

she's

 

like an angel in the morning

 

when she looks me in the eye

 

and

 

folds her wings around me

 

with her restfull holy sigh

 

 

and

 

she shows me she's my heaven

 

with her garden waiting inside

 

and

 

I know we will taste her fruit

 

when

 

we reap what we sowed all through the night

refrein:

and

she takes me to all those lovely places

where she knows she'll blow my mind

and

she shows me she's my heaven with her garden

wating inside

Heaven

Heaven

 

 

on a lazy Sunday afternoon

 

as I was walking along the river

 

I noticed the sun low in the sky

 

getting near the end of the day

 

 

so peacefully, gracefully dying

 

at that moment I became restful

 

burdens carried on my shoulder

 

seemed to leave me for a while

 

 

I sensed suddenly, nature took a rest

 

it took its time, leisurely came the night

 

and I melted down with the Universe

 

exploring the stars lighting up the sky

 

 

a calm had fallen upon me at midnight

 

I was alone, at peace down by the riverside

 

I realised, this was really the way to live

 

took a deep breath, feeling so right

 

 

 

the water calmly broke on the banks

 

heard the cricket play its song

 

a rowboat was there lying on its side

 

I rolled it over and set out on the river

 

 

I never felt so at ease rowing the boat

 

my worries had dropped in to the river

 

slowly I was getting there, to my litle heaven

 

and when I reached it, I recognised it

 

 

it was early in the morning at dawn

 

I returened  to the bank of the river

 

left the boat in the place where it belonged

 

walked back the path through the village

 

 

I had changed in to another man

 

finally I had found the pace of life

 

I was never to carry burdens again

 

they

 

had vanished at midnight on the river
