►Dienda (69 words)
How like a fall
To be gone in a day
Just as the leaves had turned gold
I was drawn to a sound
That the wind carried down
From an open window pane
And oh, how like a song
Or a sad melody
To linger long after the end
And the harmony rings
With the promise of spring
On a Brooklyn street
How like the fall to be gone in a day
Just as the trees had turned gold
I was drawn to this sound
That some fingers had found
But now the winter seems to stay too long
And how like a song
Or a sad melody
To linger long after it's gone
Though the window is closed
And the questions it posed
On a Brooklyn street
how like a song
Or a sweet melody
To linger long after it's gone
Let the harmony ring
With the promise of spring
On that Brooklyn street
A Brooklyn street
►Moon over Bourbon Street (85 words)
There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights the people and the moon and all
I pray every day to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
It was many years ago I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eyes of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon Street
►Fields of Gold (89 words)
1, 2, 3
Do you remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
Do you forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love among the fields of barley?
Do you forget the sun in his jealous sky as we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so upon the fields of barley.
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly and there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left we'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down among the fields of gold
Do you remember me when the west wind moves upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky when we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold, when we walked in fields of gold
►A Thousand Years and A Perfect Love Gone Wrong (156 words)
(It can't be the show we planned. It's gonna be a different show, but we'll do something.)
A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
Shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Following this single point, this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
And on and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me
I got a question that’s been preying on my mind for some time
I won’t be wagging my tail for one good reason
It has to be a crime
This doghouse never was the place for me,
A runner up and second best just ain’t my pedigree
We were so happy, just the two of us
Until this alpha male
Turned up in the January sale
He won’t love you
Like I love you,
Won’t be long now before that puppy goes astray
And what I like about this guy the most?
He'd be my favourite lamppost
Devil take the hindmost
(introducing musicians)
To have found this perfect life
And a perfect love so strong
Well there can't be nothing worse
Than a perfect love gone wrong (2x)
To have found
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me
'Til you love me
'Til you love me
(Strange singing A Thousand Years. Some, some of the lyrics seem to be too close to something else. Disturbed by it. I'm sorry. We planned to do a song called All This Time, which is really about my father, who left us a long time ago. So we're gonna sing it for him. Ok Manu)
