No rope and string could ever bind me No bell and collar could be forced kindly It would all be futility For my spirit to stick around Break the bonds that tethered down And break away, never to return Far away from smokey skies Above the earth I’m free inside And below the earth will keep on waiting For my spirit to stick around Break the bonds that tether down And break away, never to return
2.
Now there is wind passing through the trees Now there is moonlight fallen on the leaves And soon I will close my eyes And this will all be just a memory Now there is starlight as far as we can see Now it is quiet, it’s only you and me And soon I will close my eyes And this will all be just a memory Soon we’ll say adieu to now And return, return to dreams And soon I will close my eyes And this will all be just a memory Now it is evening, now it is late Now when we make love, it seems this was fate Soon I will close my eyes And this will all be just a memory

You once had a wish when you were young You wished that you could see what you’d become To know your fortune what you would have done To see yourself now, your transformation The way it worked out, a confirmation To vanquish all doubt, is this what you wanted to be? You once had a wish back in the day To know how things turned out in older age That future past was written on a page So you could see yourself now, your transformation The way it worked out, a confirmation To vanquish all doubt, is this what you wanted to be? To see yourself now, your transformation The way it worked out, a confirmation To vanquish all doubt, is this what you wanted to be? To see yourself now, your transformation The way it worked out, a confirmation To vanquish all doubt, is this what you wanted to be?

Were it not for today Were it not for you I could not say The streets in the city Have no place for pity So try to let go of the little things Were it not for tonight Were it not for you, your vision bright The nights in the alley I walk through the valley It’s good to let go of the little things Were it not for tomorrow Were it not for you, your love I borrow

Get out of bed Turn on the lights Put on your clothes And make your way out the door Observe The night has returned Emerged once more The time (The time) Is right once again The night in store (This time my love) Waiting to be explored (Tonight, tonight) Know that tonight isn’t like before (This time my love) It’s a different rain that’s pouring (Tonight, tonight) Put on your coat Grab your wallet and keys (Get out of bed) Look in the mirror The image that you see Observe Under a spell You see so much more (Return once more) The time (The time) Is right once again The night in store (This time my love) Waiting to be explored (Tonight, tonight) Know that tonight isn’t like before (This time my love) It’s a different rain that’s pouring (Tonight, tonight) Relax your shoulders And take a deep breath Settle your heart And make your way out the door

It Was As If 05:01
Like the storm Raining down on our heads It happened so suddenly Out the door Went all common sense Went words, reality Just before Is so far out of our minds As it takes leave And now what’s left What’s taking over Is you Like the cord In the wall, once plugged in I was turned on Out the door Went all prior events, I tried to speak But my words were gone The past was torn Was so far out of our minds As it dawned That I’m here Yes I’m here With you It was as if I had peered into a crystal globe It was as if One said mirror, mirror Mirror, mirror on the wall There’s so much more The page was blank for the pen To ink And like the shore That at last appears for boats Once lost at sea What’s in store I can already guess I can already, already see And see nothing else All I see Is you
7.
The memory of the past is suddenly familiar To return at last, flying down on wings As if I had gone back, I heard it loud as thunder In the tone of your voice No choice but to remind me In a flash I could not avoid Suddenly I’m finding That mind, body and loins Have come to see the path Born back to the past Back to once again Thoughts that I once stashed Recollections once discreet It happened all so fast I heard it loud as thunder In the tone of your voice No choice but to remind me In a flash I could not avoid Suddenly I’m finding That mind, body and loins Have come to see the path It happened all so soon, I heard it loud as thunder In the tone of your voice No choice but to remind me In a flash I could not avoid Suddenly I’m finding That mind, body and loins Have come to see the path
8.
There’s something more In the distance Let’s close our eyes And imagine we’re far away Another place, another time, it is there we’ll surely find as we escape This is our vision Our fascination A burning wish Though distant We can’t dismiss We cannot unsee The flicker and the trail of black smoke The stench in the air This is our vision Our fascination Have faith in our construction It’s sharper than a knife The color of our conviction Shines so very bright A gentle sound In the distance It summons us To answer the call Ahead there is hope There is faith There is strength to believe This is our vision Our fascination

Snake 01:55
Lament the lyric Hollowed hour Awaits Coiled snake Fuming hate A set up for the blues

Our house on the left Is lively if you ask the neighbors One can imagine what goes on inside (What goes on) When the blinds are drawn And the window’s dark, guess how we spend our time? Our house on the left May seem ordinary to a stranger But soon they always come to find (What goes on) (What goes on) The music through the walls Echoing in darkened halls Must I spell out at all, Must I confirm to you just how we spend our time? Our house on the left We’re lively if you ask the neighbors The things they think we do inside
