You languish, quiet and serene, in the shadows of an afterglow. I watch and I wait to catch that beautiful strike; that smile, rare and sweet, that only appears in this short and sudden moments.
There it is, with it's likeness to the sea, all the gentle fierceness bundled into a gesture that can melt the ice or break the ship. Yet, you are also the calm before the storm. That electric feeling that rushes through the sense and captivates each hair on your body, calling them to attention the lean into the coming onslaught. It is a memory on the rain, and all the cold and wonderful feelings that come with it.
And there you languish, quiet and serene. A storm among the blankets, a smile among the shadows.

Last night was only you and me,
Tonight is only me.
These miles roll to hours, darling,
You're too far gone to see.
Last night was you and heartbeats,
Tonight is me and cold.
This darkness keeps on pressing, baby,
And I'm feeling far too old.
Last night was you and music,
Tonight I think I'm gone.
You not here right now, sorry,
I'll have to face the dawn.

Tired lids fall softly shut over tired eyes,
Small shields against the lights of the world.
Such bright things dance gracefully,
Enticing doubt, enticing lies.
Shaking hands touch goosebump flesh,
Small comforts when the cold sets in.
The cold aims to please, aims to freeze
Your hope into the hardened grounds.
Young lips trail lightly over troubled cheeks,
Small delights against the marble night.
The truth comes clean, the cold does clear,
We are left with small pleasures.

I am looking for that virgin moonlight;
Oh, I'm look for a good night.
Pass me the flashlight;
I don't believe in myself,
No, I don't believe in myself.

And you gotta love those sweet ol' blues,
Everybody here's gonna pay their dues
In this rag-tag, down-low town.
Oh, and I don't believe in anything anymore,
What are we living for?
Somebody, please, give me a reason to stay.
There's never anything more to say.

I'm like a living story,
No one has any time to say sorry.
No one ever searches for the glory.
What the hell happened to us all?
What happened to us all.

I know I'm much more then misunderstood,
I'd breathe some life if I ever could.
This place never did my heart any good,
You'll watch me run away

I'm sorry I'll run away.

And you gotta love those sweet ol' blues,
Everybody's gonna gonna pay their dues
In this rag-tag, down-low town.
Oh, and I don't believe in anything anymore,
What are we living for?
Somebody, please, give me a reason to stay.
There's never anything more to say.

Around here we're all the same,
Everybody's playing that sermon game;
These people have all lost their name.
I don't think I'll come back again.
I won't come back again.

Oh, I love those blues.

Buried in some antique land
My soul a’wanders, longing still
To be able to touch with balmy hand
And look until it’s had its fill.
To walk among the ancient things
And hear the languages long since dead,
To feel the heat the high day brings
And to walk the ways, once titan tread.
This longing beats fiercely within me,
A fire burning that leads me on.
This longing endeavors to be set free,
The fire strives to see the dawn.
One day I will find this land,
One day I shall touch it’s sand.

Don’t make a sound,
She’s fast asleep.
Such tired eyes are closed in peace.
Why is she so in love with you?
Oh, only she will know.
But that’s alright.
You’re both so warm tonight,
And how nothing should change.
And how these summer nights
Cause such bodies to quake.
The world is on your shoulders,
But you help eachother along.
And she’s so peaceful.
She’s so peaceful in sleep.
Even if it’s nightmares she’s dreaming.

You always told me
That you loved the crawling, creeping, sliding sunlight,
That the high-time moonlight
Had always been your best friend.

You always told me
That the sweet scent of the grass on a day like this,
This was your bliss,
You never wanted it to end.

[Chorus]
And so this is your summer song,
It’s an all day long
Lazy dog-day, on the porch swing.
Oh, this is your summer song,
You can’t go wrong.
You’ll be queen, and I your king;
Oh, this summer song.

You always loved it
When the days were filled with colors from the beach.
The sun would bleach
Itself into your golden hair.

You always loved it;
The way the birds sang through the morning sun.
You were the one,
The girl who waited all year long.

[Chorus]

The summer song;
It’s all day long.
You can’t go wrong,
You can’t go wrong.

You say that I am moonlight,
You say that I’m the dark Knight,
You say I can’t be alright,
That I’ve gone too cold,
I hate the fact that you’re right.

[Insert more of this song here]

Your warmth is crashing on down,
Oh, it feels like sunlight!
Oh, you feel like sunlight.

Oh, tell me! Tell me,
What do you feel for me.
Tell me! Tell me,
Can you be my sunlight,
Can you free my sunlight?

I found him walking in the direction of perfection
And so I said to him…
” Baby why do you walk this way?
Perfection is so dim.
Come play with the hacks on my side of the tracks,
It’s better to walk that way.”
He looked at me and grinned like a maniac,
Yet had nothing to say.
Except…
” Walk your way you say,
But babe you have no idea.
It could kill me, it could thrill me,
Yet both could lead to an end.”
And I began to think
That he walked that way just for show,
So with a grin and a bow
I just let him go.
He looked at me as he smiled in slight
And said
” Come back for me some day.”

I'm standing at the door,
Waiting here, waiting here.
Standing here
Is like falling through,
And everyone I know says
I'm lost to you.

This is how it's gotta be,
A little dance of entropy,
A little love of honesty,
A disregard of the world around us.
Hang in, hang out, hang on.

Every word that you say
Stays in my head.
And I'll count them over again,
Over again every night.
You wonder why I have insomnia,
Hours on the telephone.
I'll count your words.

Suddenly some things are of the past,
The fear of losing you
Without a doubt.
I'd be losing you now
If you hadn't helped me along.
Helped me along.

Everyone knows our names;
Knows our names.
Knows we're hopeless,
Knows we're the fairytale.

There's a tiredness inside my soul
When I leave you standing at the door.
Those nights, those precious nights
They're rarely allowed...
But when they are, they are ours.
Our moon, our stars,
Our venus and our mars.
Our love and our dark,
Our scenery in our park.
You're mine in those moments,
I'm yours in those moments.
You're mine in those streets,
And I'm yours in the driveway.
And we're together and alive.

I’m not too trustful with my friends,
Just too tired of giving in.
I have too much stuck in here,
No way for my mind to be clear.
Maybe I’m just to young,
But yet again, that’s not my fault.
This closed mind is justified.
To many times open mind has cried.
How many times will I have to climb,
Up on the side of this mountain of mine.
I’ll let the times pass me by,
I like it right where I can fly.
Memories fly by at the speed of sound,
I finally fall and I hit the ground.
But I get up and stretch my wings,
Not to trustful of anything.
