Never Ending Love

Never ending love
Fearful night
Dark of day
Light my way
Never ending love
misunderstood
it's in the air
no bad nor good
A light among lights
deep in the stars
beautiful unknown
Never ending love
a hidden world
no lesson to learn
just go where your heart burns
Goddess of mercy
we petition thee

I wish I Could Stop Time

I've got so many things to do
I'll just freeze the world and yes, you too
I'll need at least two days, maybe three (times a week I mean)
do you see that bird in the tree, that's me
that bird won't smoke or drink too much wine
well, we'll see
I wish I could stop time
You'll see me relaxed and smiling but you'll never know
I was that light in the sky, that sprite in the snow
I'm that sense that someones there
I'm the breeze in the wind chime
I wish I could stop time
Nothing is going the way I want it too
snap my fingers and it's Callahans Providence 1968
I'm that boy chasing birds in the alley
I'm that boy but you could be there too
let's play among the living dead
and look at all the people in the zoo
I wish I could stop time

Everyday is a new day they say
but it feels like the same day to me
how much longer can we go on like this?
deja-vu please tell what comes next
there's only one thing I'm looking forward to
and that's Whiskey, cigarettes and you
Clocking in again, clocking in again, clocking in again
coins are trickling down
there's only one currency I want to accrue
and that's whiskey, cigarettes and you
We're all dancing with the one who takes
no matter the direction he's taking me to
there's only one thing I'm looking forward to
and that's whiskey, cigarettes and you

I'm on the bridge next to the clown
where are you? There are people all around
if the clown moves I will follow him
so you will know exactly where I am
I'll lock my back and we can walk around
maybe later we can listen to the sound
of the city turning red to blue
I'm on the bridge and I'll be waiting for you
Let's watch the trucks bring in the sand
maybe later we'll lay on the strand
let's enjoy my citys summer disguise
I'll look at you and I won't blink my eyes
I put some sand into a jar
I think you think that's what you are
on my shelf I'll place it too
I'm on the bridge and I'll be waiting for you

No Future Again
02:53

Lived in a deserted house and several vans
walked all over no direction or plan
a snaking adventure, I was broke the whole way
slept in a factory made 32 bucks a day
not chasing money is seen as a sin
but I'm so blessed I always have been
Emptying garbage cans, mopping floors
cleaning toilets, locking doors
fell into this and didn't try to get out
barely just enough and full of doubt
here I am no future again
but I'm so blessed I always have been
No ambition for the obvious ways
still floating in a child's mind
ignored all the bad and good advice
went my way and never thought twice
here I am no future again
but I'm so blessed I always have been
