Chasing shadows over my walls
With myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants twenty feet tall
Fill the room with their creeping
Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears
Then they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter out in the street
Fills the night with their loving
I feel the ice in my head
Running his hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red
All I'm asking some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired dawn never comes
I just lie in the shadows
Blind
I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples growOn my own
Never knew you were needed
'Til I found myself standing here
alone
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons
It started to snow, in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting
wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons change so fast
Leave us all behind
Blind
Fault line - The painter
Fault line
[instrumental]
The Painter
Painter, come colour up my life
Oh painter, come colour up my life
Take away the misery
Take away the strife
Writer, write me out a play
Writer, make the meaning gay
Oh, I don't need a poem
Just give me words to say
Singer, let me sing a song
Oh singer, let me sing a song
You don't have to worry
'cos singer you can sing along
Bird has flown
Oh the beggar, on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing, only grains of sand
All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow
The sensation is not new to you
It's something you all have known
You get it, it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
To a place on it's own
Somewhere all alone
Oh, the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it , it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
Oh, the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me
Yeah it's started snowing
April
April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And the world looks in the shade as it slowly
comes away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell me quite why
As I look up to the_
Grey sky, where it should be blue
Grey sky, where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
Maybe once in a while
I'll forget, and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again
Of an April without end
Of an April lonely as they come
In the dark of my mind
I can seek, hope to find
But there is nothing to be done
When I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime is the season of the night
Grey sky, where it should be blue
Grey sky, where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
I don't know
