Track Listing
you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
sleep here
hoping, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
this is the way, step inside
and I’m waiting
when I return to her I find
I’m waiting
flowers of evil in my mind
and I’m waiting
dancing with fire on the edge
I’m waiting
remembering all of what she said
and I’m waiting
hoping the rains will wash away
I’m waiting
hoping a guide will show the way
and I’m waiting
dancing with fire on the edge
I’m waiting
remembering all of what she said
with this fire in the head
you stay
silent, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
this is the way, step inside
and I’m waiting
when I return to her I find
I’m waiting
flowers of evil in my mind
and I’m waiting
dancing with fire on the edge
I’m waiting
remembering all of what she said
and I’m waiting
hoping the rains will wash away
I’m waiting
hoping a guide will show the way
and I’m waiting
dancing with fire on the edge
I’m waiting
remembering all of what she said
with this fire in the head
sleep here
hoping, knowing, always in time
see how this love stays divine
see how this love stays divine
this is the way, step inside
Back to top
silence swimming in a pool of dreams
beneath its depths the forgotten streams
above, the city of the evening star
behind its walls, the grand bazaar
as she walks through its endless maze
cursing those who mistrust her ways
please my friend not matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
doorways spilling out their sombre light
casting shadows that will raid the night
along the alleys of her ruling fears
walk the visions that will cause her tears
lying still as she wills her glance
through the eyes of a charmer’s trance
please my friend no matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
to me
to me
to me
and on the walls
shadows play
twilight souls
anguished ways
lost adrift
severed seas
I await you
come to me
silence swimming in a pool of dreams
beneath its depths the forgotten streams
above, the city of the evening star
behind its walls, the grand bazaar
as she walks through its endless maze
cursing those who mistrust her ways
please my friend not matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
Back to top
hope springs to life
charmed by approaching listlessness
hands reaching out
to grasp the open emptiness
leading me down…
leading me down…
and this goodbye
faced with hope and countenance
souls slip away
to bask in glowing radiance
leading me down…
leading me down…
as we run from the sun
and we harbour the lies
and we leave things undone
as we cover our eyes
does it tear you apart my love
does it tear you apart my love
‘cause it tears me apart
charmed by this light
this sombre guidance in her eyes
rage would entice
and final moments would arise
leading me down…
leading me down…
leading me down…
leading me down…
does it tear you apart my love
‘cause it tears me apart
you tear me apart
you tear me apart
Back to top
silent spirit walks before me
with her beauty, with her eyes
heaven help me
I feel I’m fading
I should rest here
for a while
in the dreamtime I’m awakened
as my senses seize the night
heaven help me
I’m forsaken
I should rest here
for a while
and lie on the bed you’ve made ophelia
dry are the lips that lost their taste of love
drown in the waters that would give you life
cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife
in silence
in silence
SILENCE
silent spirit walks before me
with her beauty and with her eyes
heaven help me
I feel I’m fading
I should rest here
for a while
in silence
in silence
SILENCE
Back to top
when the winter was over
she returned there to find him
and her memories filled her with light
she remembered the beauty
she remembered desires
and her memories filled her with light
I am the sun in the flame
cold from the flame turns away
and in these winds came a change
she awakes…
sister walk through these fields of delight
but I want you to know
desperation’s the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake
sister awake
when this beautiful cult of desire
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take
sister awake
sister awake
and you’ll look to the heavens above
and taste its deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at their feet
what will it take
sister awake
sister awake
and you’ll hear them call out your name
invoking the fates
chances are you’ve travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
Back to top
turn the lamp down low
baby, shelter me
turn the lamp down low
rising up to see
turn the lamp down low
baby please don’t go
turn the lamp down low
do you feel a flame that’s burning
as the candle dies
do you see the spirits stirring
as you close your eyes
do you sense the slow advancement
as the twilight thins
do you see the serpent dancing
as it sheds it’s skin
turn the lamp down low
baby, please don’t go
turn the lamp down low
baby, please
does the sun renounce its kingdom
as the shadows fall
does a fool rejoice in wisdom
when the raven calls
do you embrace the dancing clayman
as he tears your flesh
do you hear the souls are screaming
in the serpent’s mesh
turn the lamp down low
baby, please don’t go
do you need the consolation
of a dead man’s hand
as the tears of desolation
flood a dead man’s land
do you see your soul’s redemption
under fervent skies
don’t you see your own reflection
in the serpent’s eye
turn the lamp down low
baby, please don’t go
Back to top
we are spirits passing through the doors of time
with an invitation heard before we find
shadows on the mountainside
eagles find the souls they hide
and the outcast child enchanted by the sun
will he seek his shelter never knowing one
shadows on the mountainside
eagles find the souls they hide
shadows on the mountainside
cover me with sleep
because I need it now
and the red rivers flow to the seas
and she will return to me
and then all that I am is in her hands
and I will return to her and then
I begin
Back to top
over the skies and sea my love
over the sky and sea
riding the crest of winds above
bringing her back to me
into the starlit sea my love
into the moonlit sea
riding the crest of winds above
I’m begging you stay with me
would you walk ten miles with me my love
would you walk the skies with me
would you walk ten miles with me my love
inanna
Back to top
you’re holding on
once again
take the time to look around
is it all in vain
can’t you see
stay with me
I need you now
to stop the rains baby
but you can’t see how it feels
until you have felt the same
stay with me
can’t you see
don’t let me down
stay with me
don’t leave me now
stay with me
when darkness descends it’s all you see
don’t leave me now
stay with me, please, please
you tell me what you want
you’ve gotta tell me what you want
she’s drawing down the moon
I can see it in her eyes
I think it’s too soon
I think she’s gonna cry
she’s drawing down the moon
she better turn away
I think it’s too soon
can’t she hear me when I say
you tell me what you want
you’ve gotta tell me what you want
don’t let me down
stay with me
don’t leave me now
stay with me
when darkness descends it’s all we see
don’t leave me now
stay with me, please, please
Back to top
when frightened by change
serenity clings to my sleep
and wonders remain
their world will inherit its meek
so wicked’s the taste
you feel when the mysteries arise
I’ve fallen from grace
because of her treacherous eyes
you don’t know
so alone
so alone
so alone
and that’s why, honey
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
she’s so alone
I’m coming home
and beauty’s disdain
attends to these virtuous lies
she tries to restrain
the ardent and amorous eyes
so wicked’s the taste
you feel when the mysteries arise
I’ve fallen from grace
because of her treacherous eyes
you don’t know
so alone
so alone
so alone
and that’s why, honey
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
she’s so alone
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
she needs me now
she needs me now
she’s so alone
Back to top
tell me lady, shining sun
to feel the warmth that’s come undone
do you sleep in sympathy
and if it’s true
walk with me
all of the while you were here
all of this time you were near
and all my tears
come on lady walk with me
come on lady talk with me
can’t you see I’m all alone
this loneliness I can’t condone
come on lady hold my hand
take me to your shadowland
sleep awhile in sympathy
come on lady walk with me
in the twilight the idols speak
and in the twilight you’ll always seek
a sentimental forgotten friend
who will always love you
until the end
all of the while you were here
all of this time you were near
and oh my dear
come on lady walk with me
come on lady talk with me
can’t you see I’m all alone
this loneliness I can’t condone
come on lady hold my hand
take me to your shadowland
sleep awhile in sympathy
come on lady WALK WITH ME
and now you’ll search for the ideals
you’ll find a vice that always heals
the open wounds, the bleeding hearts
yet still they’ll say
you’re torn apart
all of the while I was here
all of this time I was near
come on lady walk with me
come on lady talk with me
can’t you see I’m all alone
this loneliness I can’t condone
come on lady hold my hand
take me to your shadowland
sleep awhile in sympathy
come on lady walk with me
come on lady walk with me
come on lady talk to me
can’t you see I’m all alone
this loneliness I can’t condone
come on lady hold my hand
take me to your shadowland
sleep awhile in sympathy
come on lady walk with me
