this dog

this dog
keeps pulling
this dog
needs taming
my grip
is slipping
and i'm losing control
these strings
keep stretching
these strings
need taming
my grip
is slipping
and i'm losing control
i'm losing control
this dog
keeps pulling
this dog
needs taming
and i'm losing control

having dreams (on a rainy day)

i shouldn't happen in a month of sundays
but i can see it coming straight towards me
i stand my ground and it goes right through me
goes right through me
i toss a coin and i pray forgiveness
it's just my luck and i've got no business
having dreams on a rainy day

having dreams

things take a turn even further downhill
i've lost my heart and my hope and my will
i hang my head in shame
so i try again to pick myself back up
try pretend it's just a little hiccup
i have a dream on a rainy day

have a dream

maybe things will look better in the morning
i'm unprepared i never got no warning
i've had the wind knocked out my sails
i'll go to sleep and lay my head down
lock the door try to block out the sound
have a dream on a rainy day

have a dream

i shouldn't happen in a month of sundays
but i can see it coming straight towards me
i stand my ground and it goes right through me
goes right through me
i toss a coin and i pray forgiveness
it's just my luck and i've got no business
having dreams on a rainy day

blow me down

blow me down
the cobwebs and the dust
blow me down

hose me down
the sickness and the puss
hose me down

tie me down
the sinfulness of lust
tie me down

blow me down
hose me down
tie me down

this little place

there's this little place
i like to go to each day
it's full of life's little mysteries
i'm amazed
who knows what i'll find today
never mind tomorrow

it keeps going on
and on and on ..............
it keeps growing stronger
and on and on..........

there's this little place
where i can see my friends
it's full of love and joy
and so much fun
who knows who i'll meet today
never mind tomorrow

it keeps going on
and on and on ..............
it keeps growing stronger
and on and on..........

there's this little place
where i can hear some songs
what will i hear today
and again tomorrow

i believe

Well it’s a mystery to me
How something came from nothing
Just like that
In a bang
But seems it’s not so very strange
And it happens
All the time
At a sub-atomic level
Well i believe
And it’s not just my imagination
I believe
Tho i find it hard to understand
Well when i take a look around
And i see
All the wonders of this world
I find it hard to comprehend
That this all happened
Just by chance
But i believe
That’s just what happened
And i believe
Tho i find it hard to understand
Well it’s a mystery to me
How something came from nothing
Just like that
In a bang
But I believe
Tho i find it hard to understand

gone

well i'm just passing through
i won't be here for long
i'm here for just one moment
i'm here for one more song
then i'm gone
well i'm not standing still
i keep right going on
i'm here for just one moment
i'm here for one more song
then i'm gone
well i'm just passing through
i won't be here for long
i'm here for just one moment
i'm here for one more song
then i'm gone

don't say anything

don't say anything
just pause for thought
think things through
and try to work it out
what you need to do
what you have to say
don't feel so torn
don't aim so low

hold that thought
and stay with it for now
take this moment
to consider how
what you need to do
what you have to say
don't feel so torn
don't aim so low
don't do anything for now
don't say anything for now
hold that thought
and stay with it for now
take this moment
to consider............ how

god save my soul

i'm playing catch up
and i can't keep pace
i got new glasses
and now i can see
well bless me jesus
god save my soul
i had a vision
and it wasn't nice
a big disaster
fire and ice
well bless me jesus
god save my soul
i feel it coming
it ain't far away
i'm getting ready
for that fateful day
well bless me jesus
god save my soul
well bless me jesus
god save my soul

and down you fall

close to the edge
facing the precipice
one more straw
could break your back
and down you fall

pushed too far
squeezed too tight
one more turn
and you'll snap
and down you fall

it's a pressure cooker
with no release
feel the steam rise
no pause for thought
time pushed aside
there is no end in sight
and down you fall

feel the steam rise

close to the edge
facing the precipice
one more straw
could break your back
pushed too far
squeezed too tight
one more turn
and you'll snap

as darkness falls

as darkness falls
all around
is silent now
you settle down
and go to sleep
as darkness falls

sweet dreams
my little one
sweet dreams
my darling child

as darkness falls
let's cosy down
and drift away
the day is done
now night has come
as darkness falls

sweet dreams
my little one
sweet dreams
my darling child

as darkness falls
as darkness falls

as darkness falls
you go to sleep
the'll be tomorrow
to play
sweet dreams

let it out

the cracks begin to show
fault lines appearing
what once lay below
has come to the surface

shake rattle and roll
these rocks will move you
feel the tension rise
the heat releasing
this open can of worms
there for all to see
disintigrating
before me
let it out let it out let it out

your deepest darkest thoughts
now at the forefront
what once lay below
now come to torment
molten emotions
now dowsed in tears
what once lay below
now washed away

shake rattle and roll
these rocks will move you
feel the tension rise
the heat releasing
this open can of worms
there for all to see
disintigrating
before me
let it out let it out let it out

the cracks begin to heal
the fault lines repairing
what once lay below
now washed away

and he digs

oh he works the land
till the night turns black
and he's up when the day's still dark
he ploughs the field
and turns the dirt
and he digs till it hurts his heart

and he sows his seeds
in the wilderness
in the dank and barren land
and he prays to the gods
'fore he goes to bed
that his efforts where not in vain

oh this life is hard
but it's all he's had
and it's all he's ever known
yet he never complains
and he bares his pain
he just does what he has to do

oh he works the land
till the night turns black
and he's up when the day's still dark
he ploughs the field
and turns the dirt
and he digs till it hurts his heart
