Something rich and strange...

Beloved
Here I am
I'm right here
Oh I wish you could feel me
Standing so close
I'm right beside you dear.
I fly round this old man house,
I float through the walls
I scream and I call
While I watch you without me.

All I feel,
All I am now
Is this love I have for you.
Each night it's you , you I lay beside
I close my eyes, never to sleep
I tell you all the things I should have said
That you'll never know.
How could I act such a part,
As to love the one who breaks my heart?
I had to go....

So put your hands here round my waist,
Though you cannot feel my touch dear
And dance with me as you did before.
I'm bound forever to this house
I can never go beyond that door
I dance alone

So when you think of me smile
It's the only way that I can see
That you still care for me
(close my eyes never to sleep)
Here I am I'm right here
How I wish you could see me dear
O my dear...

The day you went away

Hey, does it ever make you wonder what's on my mind?
I, I was only ver running back to your side.
I never cried, I just watched my life go by.
It's just a pack of lies,
'Cause you're leaving me behind.
Why - after this long is there nothing I'll keep?
Oh I can shout,
You'll pretend you're falling asleep.
I live a lie, yeah, believing that you're mine
It's just a waste of time
Cause you're leaving me behind.
Hey, there's not a cloud in the sky,
It's as blue as your goodbye
And I thought that it would rain
On a day like today
Hey there's not a cloud in sight
It's as blue as your blue goodbye
and I thought that it would rain
The Day You Went Away...
He's on the buses, and the aereoplanes
With some groceries and a sleeping bag...

Love will keep me alive
I was standing all alone
'gainst the world outside
I was searchin', for place to hide,
Lost and lonely, now I've found the will to survive
When I'm hungry,
Love will keep me alive.
Don't you worry,
Sometimes you just gotta let it ride
The world is changing, right before our eyes.
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When I'm hungry,
Love will keep me alive
I would burn for you
Climb the highest mountain now
There's nothing I wouldn't do
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When I'm hungry
Love will keep me alive
I would burn for you
Climb the highest mountain now
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
I was standing all alone 'gainst the world outside
I was searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now I've given me the will to survive
When I'm hungry, love will keep me alive...

Friday's Child (from "Lily", )
Just when I lose my touch
You come up and touch me
Just when I can't fnid the words
You run up and tell me
I'm off in the distance
Out of time, out of place
We always save a trade
For Friday's child, Friday's Child.
At times I drift too far from shre
You give the lifeline to me
When I fight my holy war"
You tell me what it's good for
I walk in your footsteps
When the road gets too wide
You go the extra mile
For Friday's child...
I see it like a silver screen
I see just what you're like
When I can't see anything
You make the world turn my way
You make the world turn my way.
Na na na na na na....
I walk in your footsteps
When the road's hard to find
You stand the test of time
For Friday's child, Friday's child
You make the world turn my way
You make the world turn my way
Friday's Child
You make the world turn my way
Hey..for Friday's Child

Quiet art
You show astounding grace
among these dislocated souls.
You’re not of this world,
where everything is bought and sold.

I have tried
but thankfully I’m flesh and soul.
You’re just standing quiet
another lost forgotten art.
Either way you miss.
For you are neither slave nor free.
If you can stay with me
talk about the things that you most want to be.
The quiet art of standing still.

Hold on tight.
We can withstand the coldest hearts.
To the world weary smile.
You feel there’s nothing left to give.
I want to help you carry this.
If silence is consent,
then I have nothing left to say.
If you can stay with me
talk about the things that you most want to be well.
It’s not past you get.
It’s a quiet art of standing still.

This must be a test.
I pray you can find the strength.
Like moments you regret.
Nothing can be done they’re gone.
Sleep come take me quick
to the quiet art of standing still.

Try and touch the place
where everything was broken
by all that you resist.
You cannot make a deal with god.
I want to help you carry this.
If silence is consent.
There’s nothing left I have to say.
If you can stay with me
talk about the things that you most want to be well.
It hasn’t past you yet.
It’s a quiet art of standing still.
