Bad

    If you twist and turn away.
    If you tear yourself in two again.
    If I could, yes I would
    If I could, I would let it go.
    
    Surrender, dislocate.
    If I could throw this lifeless
    Lifeline to the wind.
    Leave this heart of clay,
    See you walk, walk away,
    Into the night.
    And through the rain.
    Into the half-light,
    And through the flame.
    If I could throw myself,
    set your spirit free.
    I'd lead your heart away,
    See you break, break away
    Into the light.
    And to the day.
    
    To let it go,
    And so to fade away.
    To let it go,
    
    And so fade away.
    I'm wide awake.
    I'm wide awake.
    I'm not sleeping.
    Oh, no, no.
    
    If you should ask then maybe
    They tell you what I would say.
    True colors fly in blue and black,
    bruised silken skies and burning flag.
    Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes.
    
    If I could, you know I would.
    If I could, I would let it go.
    This desparation.
    Dislocation.
    Separation.
    Condemnation.
    Revelation.
    Temptation.
    Isolation.
    Desolation.
    
    Let it go,
    And so to fade away.
    To let it go,
    And so fade away.
    Oh, no
    I'm wide awake.
    I'm wide awake.
    I'm not sleeping.
    Oh, no no

A Sort Of Homecoming

    And you know it's time to go
    through the sleet and driving snow
    across the fields of mourning to  
    lights in the distance
    
    And you hunger for the time
    time to heal, 'Desire', time
    and you earth moves beneath
    your own dream landscape
    
    Oh, oh on borderland we run
    and still we run, we run and don't look back
    I'll be there, I'll be there
    tonight, a highroad, a highroad out of here
    
    the city walls are all come down
    the dust a smoke screen all around to see
    faces ploughed like fields that once
    gave no resistance
    
    And we live by the side of the road
    on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
    dislocated, suffocated
    the land grows weary of it's own
    
    Oh, oh on borderland we run
    and still we run, we run and don't look back
    tonight, tonight
    
    The wind will crack in wintertime
    a bomb-blast lightning waltz
    no spoken words, just a scream . . .
    
    tonight we'll a bridge across the sea and land
    see the sky burning rain
    she will die and live again
    tonight
    
    And you heart beats so slow
    through the rain and fallen snow
    across the fields of morning
    to a light that's in the distance
    Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
    for tonight, at last
    I am coming home
    I am coming home

Three Sunrises

    Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
    Hold me there and never let me fall
    Love me till I die, my heart won't wait
    Soon I will be down in this love song
    
    In this love, love song
    In this love. love song
    Hey hey, love won't find
    Find its own way home
    
    It's a love song, love
    Love, love song...
    
    Sunshine, sunshine on me
    Sunshine, sunshine on me
    In this love, love song
    Hey hey, love won't find
    Finf its own way home
    
    In this love song
    Love song, love song
    Sunshine, sunshine on me
    Bring it through to my home
    I will give you everything
    I will give you my desire
    Love song, love song

Love Comes Tumbling

    Love don't need to find a way
    You find your own way
    I forget that I can't stay
    And so I say that
    All roads lead to where you are
    
    The seed is split, the bed defiled
    For you a virgin bride
    Find yourself in someone else
    Don't find yourself in me
    I can't lift you up again
    Love comes tumbling down again
    
    [Repeat 1st verse....]
