My Dream

walking about the lively town
on days autumn claims
my thoughts drift away

I feel it all getting to me
no commitment to please
walking of in a setting sun

slowly starting to run
geting away from it all
running into endless walls

in the distance an image shows
walking where the sun is low
I try to get as close as I can

slowly I come 'round the bend
past all those endless walls
I start running will I fall

will I get where I want
will I get there for nightfall
will I get there at all

too slowly 'round the bend
my last breath spent
buried the sun in the sand

I was lost slowly I ran
fell over an edge into light
coming to a hall with a door

running through a corridor
smoke leads to steam
where is my image, my dream

I knew you so well

living

 

in the wilderness of your mind

 

I

 

knew so well, where  I've dwelt, so many times

 

so you couldn't hide, what kept you alive

 

I knew you by heart, sometimes a little tough

 

but

 

no more than that

 

 

and

 

I

 

knew you so well

 

your thoughts ringin' a bell, now if not with me

 

maybe with somebodyelse

 

 

they'll get to know you as I did

 

I

 

don't know if I can take it, but there it is

 

I

 

must

 

leave

 

 

guess I've come to know you too well

 

started ringin' too many bells

 

the sound a deafening one

 

I

 

couldn't hear you think at all

 

you closed your mind for me, it made a retreat I couldn't foresee

 

never did I hear you think again

 

when it came to that, I knew I had to go away

 

livin' in the wilderness of your mind

 

I

 

knew the time had come, I'd stop climbin' those mountains inside

 

 

and

 

I

 

knew you so well

 

your thoughts would ring a bell

 

now if not with me, maybe with somebodeelse

 

 

lookin'

 

for you one more time I realised I had lost you

 

your thoughts were somewhereelse

 

'cause I knew you too well

 

 

I

 

couldn't get in,  the bolt was thrown, a key turned

 

memories were burned in the fire of your mind

 

dissapearin' in the light

 

 

and

 

I

 

knew you too  well

 

your thoughts would ring a bell  now if not with me

 

maybe

 

with

 

somebodyelse

Eyes the face

 

 

 

 

 

there's

 

a

 

 

 face

 

 

it can only excist with eyes that live

 

that

 

see inside the thoughts they hide

 

 

the

 

fear that's there,  love enough to share

 

it

 

casts coldness in despair

 

it's all in the eyes, maybe not much

 

but's it's all they've got

 

 

so

 

it is eyes can be tamed

 

eyes can be made to mate, eyes can destruct if must

 

eyes can turn insane

 

if

 

jealousy is the hurt

 

eyes can scream wild

 

for what they want, and didn't get

 

eyes can be bad

 

 

it's all in the eyes, might not be much

 

but

 

the eyes make it a lot

 

 

eyes,

 

the

 

face

 

express anger, laughter, sadness, badness

 

almost anything at will

 

love for life, a pain inside

 

show the fear

 

 

it's all in the eyes, maybe not much

 

but

 

it's

 

what they've got
