Kings & Queens
So sublime
It hits you like waves
that crash on your face
It knocks you like wind
in storm on the sea
Suddenly
I feel like the world
Could end in a flash
Can no more depend
On the things I thought were to last
Kings and Queens
Knaves and Thieves
Priests and Plebs
They’re all the same beings
Breathe my last
And depart and go where
I know not
The black hole beyond
All of space and of time
Kings and Queens
Knaves and Thieves
Priests and Plebs
Sharing the same fate
It Takes So Long
It takes so long
It takes so long
Give it a little time
She said
It takes so much time
It takes all my will
I can't wait this long
I can't hold on
Give it a little time
She said
So so so long
I can’t give it a little time
I can’t wait
Love Doesn’t Make It Easy On Us
Love doesn't make it easy on us
Our river runs into its sea
Its lighting splits open our tree
Love doesn't make it easy on us
Love lets us wander up to the waves
Love speaks its truth right into our face
It breaks every thing in our house
It blows everything from our minds
Love doesn't make it easy on us
Don’t give it away, don’t tear it apart
Love doesn't make it easy on us
It pulls in the planets and stars
Captures both Venus and Mars
Love doesn't make it easy on us
Don’t give it away, don’t tear it apart
All The Way Blue
Show me the way to your heart
Show me the way to your heart
I can delve in your ways of magic
And learn all your ways of love
Show me the way to your heart
All the Way
Show me the colors you see
Show me the colors of romance
I can see through your rosy glasses
I can see through the rosy glass
Show me the colors you see
All the Way Blue
Paraguay, My Love
Blue boy
Thinking about the meaning of it all
And there's
No joy
In anything I'm doing with my life
Need to get away
Jet plane
Thinking about it, thinking about a way
on a motor bike or train
Leaving it all here, leaving it all behind
For Paraguay, my love
Paraguay,
My love
Blue Skies
Up above and smiling down on me
And her clear smile
Wonder if it ever goes away
In Paraguay, my love
Paraguay,
My love

Past The Limit
Had enough of philosophy
Had enough of fleeting fads
Had enough of your certainty
Had enough of your luck of the draw
I’m supposed to be cool
I’m supposed to be kind but
You push it to the limit
Then way past the limit
Had a hunch
You'd be asking me
For a favor or two or three
And I'm all for generosity
But not when it all goes down the drain
I’m supposed to be cool
I’m supposed to be kind but
You push it to the limit
Then way past the limit
Push it too far
And then you'll find out
Therein Lies The Problem With My Life
Therein lies
the problem with my life
I make all my plans
I figure it out
I set it all up
But it never works out
Therein lies
the problem with my heart
I see you again
And then we're apart
Just when I think that it might be over
Then I see you again
Therein lies
the problem with my life
9PM Direction
Minstrel singers
Unknown bloom
Lovesick lovers
Swoon
Sunsets
Seasides
Winter
Snow
And you can’t go back
On an island
Lost at sea
Lost, no direction
Sea, swallow me
And you can’t go back
Step Into The Night
Step into the night
Watch your body glowing
Everything’s alright
If you stay apart
Step into the sky
Watch your body floating
Everything’s alright if you don’t look down
I don’t know what you’re thinking
Or what it is you believe in
But those things just might escape you
In the night
Step into the storm
All around it’s raging
It’ll be alright
If you hold my hand
Step outside your skin
Let it move and shake you
Everything’s alright
But it will hurt
I don’t know what you’re thinking
Or what it is you believe in
But those things just might escape you
In the night
I don’t know what you’re thinking
Or what it is you believe in
What it is you believe in…
Frozen
Frozen
In my heart
Blue in my face
White in my fist
I can’t move
Frozen
Oh melt my heart
No feeling now
It’s gone
