Laid to Rest

All the fortunes, I’ve exhumed from my head
Came to nothing but ashes in the wind
Now those ashes pile upon my bed
The marriage bed of fate and I and what we had laid to rest.
Won’t you listen to my words?
Won’t you sing all my songs?
They’re full of bullshit, can’t you see?
But in each and every one is a story that I have told to you.
But now the meaning’s been used up, been washed away into that sea
Of ubiquity, and come to rest
Oh, maybe it has finally come to rest.
Oh, one day, one day we will see
Oh, some day, some day we will see
Oh, one day, one day we will see.
Oh, some day we will see.

Let Some Sunlight In

Oh my dear
Oh my dear
Why do you say such things?
Why do you say such things?
You know they hurt me so
You know they hurt me
Let some sunlight in
Let some sunlight in
Turn those tears away
And come another day
Let some sunlight in
Let some sunlight in

Your Eyes

She came in running
She’d woken in the night
He’d asked some questions
That weren’t quite right
Your eyes are the morning
Your eyes are the night
Your eyes are open
All of the time
I am so tired
I am so tired
I am so tired
I’ve been walking all my life
Your eyes are the morning
Your eyes are the night
Your eyes are the road that I’ve been walking all my life
I have been walking all my life

Don't You Know?

Saw the sun rise this morning
A bright yellow orb came away from the sea
Rising balloon-like it flooded the land with light
I know that it’s you shining,
Down on me.
I saw my hand rise to protect my eyes
It was beautiful, thinking of the day
When all the mystery will be revealed
Oh, shine yeah shine your light!
Oh, don’t you know that sometime around we’ll all be free
Oh, don’t you know that sometime around we’ll all be free
Oh, don’t you know that sometime around you’ll be me
I know that it’s you shining down on me.

I gathered you around
I spoke my mind
Spoke it aloud
And I believed that I would not be judged
I thought you were my brothers
I thought you were my friends
I thought you were my brothers
I thought of you as friends
So, I called you up
And I told you all of my deepest fears
How they tore away my kindness
And they preyed upon my weakness
Oh, I thought you were my brothers
I thought you were my friends
Oh, I thought you were my sisters
I thought of you as my friends
