The Dream (Wake Up)

He sees her moonlight
She dances in his dreams
He feels her reaching out to him
Calling out his name
Calling
"Wake up
I'm waiting for you
Come to me
I cry out to you
Find me now
I'm waiting for you
To wake up
And make the dream come true"
Sweet kisses in the moonlight
Embraces in the dark
Together in this moment
And in each others arms
She whispers
"Wake up
I'm waiting for you
Come to me
I cry out to you
Find me now
I'm waiting for you
To wake up
And make the dream come true"

Pardon my brokenness
Pardon my fear
Pardon me, Darling
I cant fight the tears
Oh, I've tried (so hard)
Yes, I've tried
Excuse me for breathing
I can't catch my breath
I'm dreaming of living
I'm longing for death
I'm so tired
Bloody tired
And, you understand nothing so well
You have my best interests at heart I can tell
(ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh...)
And, you understand nothing so well
You have my best interests at heart I can tell
Pardon my sorrow
Pardon my grief
Pardon my laughter
At your belief
You know best (don't you?)
Sure you do
Excuse me for seeing
Straight through your bull
My eyes have become
Immune to your wool

Waterfall

I close my eyes against the pain
I don't want to feel this way again
Try to shut out the world and all its games
I can't fight the tears
I know I cannot win
And I go under once more
(not for the last time)
I can't breathe - yet I'm still breathing, somehow
My heart crashes on the rocks below
I'm pulled to and fro
Overwhelmed by the rushing force that brings me down
Crushed and bruised, under it all
Waterfall

What You'd Call Normal

Don't try to put me in a box
I'll never fit inside your lines
I wouldn't call you narrow-minded
I'd call you normal
And that's worse for me
That's worse to me
Don't expect me to react the way you think that I should
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me...
But, really I'm just not what you'd call normal
And I don't care
I don't care
What you think
Of me

When I look in your eyes
It's myself I see
Underneath the shell of my skin
I begin to let you in to me
Reflections of my heart
Spoken in your words
Written on timeless pages
My dream's now given breath
To sing love's fragile song
Ringing through endless ages
This will never get old
I feel eternity in your kiss
Your eyes have promised me a thousand things
Your arms have never failed to give
You've never failed to give
When I listen to your voice
It's the truth I hear
Singing above the noise and pain
Your sweet refrain, unchained and clear
Reflections of my heart
Spoken in your words
Written on timeless pages
My dream's now given breath
To sing love's vic'try song
Ringing through endless ages
This will never get old
I feel eternity in your kiss
Your eyes have promised me a thousand things
Your arms have never failed to give
This will never get old
I feel eternity in your kiss
Your lips have promised me a thousand dreams
Your heart has never failed to give
You've never failed to give

The Wind and the Rain

Life is hard - so much sorrow, too much pain
But there is no one to blame
For the wind and the rain
It all falls down, and no amount of tears will make it stop
We all get caught
In the wind and the rain
So be yourself; go against the grain
There's no one to blame for the wind and the rain
All we can do is try to hope again
'cause there's no one to blame for the wind and the rain
Tempest high, spirit's low - we cry in vain
We have no one to blame
For the wind and the rain
And time is cruel, and love's a very fragile game
And still we've no one to blame
For the wind and the rain
So, be yourself; go on, and jump that train
And, hold your head high for me once again
All we can do - this much is plain -
Is learn to survive the wind and the rain
There's no one to blame
