They've stolen the moon The magic is gone And there in its place A black midnight sun The darkness is frightening And love is denied They've stolen the moon God only knows why The stars have lost their daughter The devil's thieves have won And there in her place A black midnight sun
They've stolen the moon The magic is gone And there in its place A black midnight sun The darkness is frightening And love is denied They've stolen the moon God only knows why The stars have lost their daughter The devil's thieves have won And there in her place A black midnight sun
They've stolen the moon The magic has gone And there in this place A black midnight sun The darkness is frightening And love is denied They've stolen the moon God only knows why
The stars have lost their daughter The devil's thieves have won And there in her place
Couldn't leave you if I tried Couldn't weather this alone And through the darkness you still provide The sweetest love I've ever known
Take the shadow from the road I walk upon Be my sunshine, sunshine And in the emptiness You look and find someone The damage is undone And love has made you strong And Heaven gave me mine, Thalheim
The saddest words have come undone Changing the very air I breathe And miracles have just begun In which only you and I believe
Take the shadow from the road I walk upon Be my sunshine, sunshine And in the weightlessness You look and find someone The damage is undone And love has made you strong Heaven gave me mine, Thalheim
When I'm all at sea You never let me down I'll just keep coming back to you 'Til I walk on solid ground From the foothills to the mountains On the waters of the Rhine Face to face in Shahbagh gardens In communion, out of time
Thalheim, Thalheim
From the lilies of the valley To the grapes upon the vine The well of speculation Is it his or hers or mine?
Thalheim, Thalheim
In the everything and nothing In disharmony and rhyme In the sound of shot and echo Who's the victim, what's the crime? What's the crime?
Be my, be my sunshine
In the keening cries of evening Unforgotten, underlined We slipped into the water Out of focus, out of time.
Welcome to Sun State The language of light The energy's impulse The loud, dark, iron The purpose of history The Eurasian Steppes From treshold to treshold Astonishment.
You've misunderstood the place where you stand Godman.
From different maps Dead bees on a cake You're sweeping the forest Man, it's getting late The milkweed is growing Through cotton grass You borrowed the car But you didn't ask.
You've misunderstood the place where you stand Godman.
The everything's dark You're wrapped up Born into brightness
She's here in the snowfall At dead of night The mood is of courtship The final fight She's all that I need All that I am The voice of compassion inside the man
If you open the gates The madness begins I'll follow you down I'll follow you back in She's here in the lifelines In every curve Suspended in silence Between each word
It's all in the way that she moves The grace and the light that will see me through It's coming true She's prising the rope from my hands The fear and the hopes that I held onto It's coming true Colour the river I swim back to you Krishna blue
Waist deep in water She starts to sing The voice is familiar And draws me in She's lighting the fires I dowsed by hand Erasing the figure drawn in sand
You open the gates The madness begins I follow you down I follow you back in And here in the darkness The boundary gone The flame is alive And burning strong It's all in the way that she moves The grace and the light that will see me through It's coming true Colour the river I swim back to you Krishna blue
In the softest belly And the warmest heart In your open hands I lay my head In the never ending I fall apart In the silent forest And the brilliant red And through the stream of words There comes a sound And I listen Child like To her voice Spellbound
It's all in the way that she moves The grace and the light that will see me through It's coming true She's prising the rope from my hands The fear and the hopes that I held onto It's coming true Colour the river I swim back to you Krishna blue
Take My word for it This never should have happened What in the world d'ya think Got into me
We fire at will And as we watch the pieces shatter We find were closer Than we've ever been
She calls my name and I come running I have lost the voice I listened too And in the blindness As my world stops turning Theres a sadness like I never knew But I still see the shining of things
As the morning breaks It hardly seems to matter I hear a shallowness In everything I say
We've played the night out In all too familiar fashion To wear the heart-ache Through another day
She calls my name and I come running I have lost the voice I listened too And there's a stillness now The rain's stopped falling
Theres a sadness like I never knew But I see the shining of things
hey fired off the first shot So we're on our feet and running We're re-writing all the textbooks In the process of becomming There's so much to live for If we stop putting up a fight There's a place for every story And this one starts with us tonight
Let me take you down To Cafe Europa There's so much to be found So much to discover Let me take you down To Cafe Europa There's so much to be found I won't let you dowm
We're travelling by moonlight From London to the Highlands We lose ourselves in inner cities In the hope of re-defining The space that surrounds us What an emptiness within It's all in the papers The boy's in love again
Always arriving Headlights lit up from coast to coast Empty days full to bursting With the names of the people and places We miss the most
I'm taking the last train Flying the last flight I'm calling on the angels And letting in the sunlight
Let me take you down To Cafe Europa There's so much to be found So much to discover Let me take you down To Cafe Europa There's so much to be found I won't let you dowm I won't let you down
Let me take you down To Cafe Europa To Cafe Europa Theres so much to be found So much to discover Let me take you down Cafe Europa Cafe Europa
It's the heart that has been broken Finds the truth in what is spoken Cafe Europa Cafe Europa Let me take you down
Help me I feel like I'm weightless Floating right out of your hands And there's only so much I aspire to Taking one day at a time And deliverance has many faces But grace is an aquaintance of mine Tell me how could it have happened You know that we're not the marrying kind. Travel light, don't think twice We're leaving the shadows behind. It's given us, yeah This wonderful wanderlust. It's given us this wonderful wanderlust It's given us this wonderful wanderlust I don't doubt it, I feel it, yeah Wanderlust Wanderlust
Help me, this waterboys wasted Falling right out of your sky And there's nothing that could do without you Loving the state that I'm in Between no longer and not yet On the threshold of some bright affair The match was struck and I was fired The embers of a drowning man Tell me why won't I listen Or acknowledge that I don't understand Losing light, a selfish kind And we're out on the road again. It's given us, yeah This wonderful wonderlust. It's given us this wonderful wanderlust It's given us this wonderful wanderlust I don't doubt it, I feel it, yeah
Turn the headlights on full I want to take in it all And let it wash over me The bridge looks so high From the ledge that we climbed But we climbed them so that we could be free Give me no dreams of what the future brings I need to know when I have gone too far, oh Repeated lightening strikes Up and down the spine They search us out wherever we go In a world full of lies That tug at the truth I'm taking no sides Now I recognise you.

Darkest Dreaming
Stay tonight We'll watch the full moon rising Hold on tight The sky is breaking I don't ever want to be alone With all my darkest dreaming Hold me close The sky is breaking
I don't ever want to be alone With all my darkest dreaming Hold me close The sky is breaking
