LYRICS
Through the door
To the floor
Fair and bright
Golden light

I guess I'll never really see
What lies beyond

As days go by
You hide it away

Cycle through
Out of view
Pure and cold
Silver glow

I guess I'll never really know
Who's keeping time

As days go by
You hide it away
As days go on
You can never know
Never show
You never know
Days go by
You hide it away
As days go by
Bye, bye

Day go by
Go by

I guess we'll never know
I guess we'll never know

LYRICS
This time next year
Where will we be?
This time next year
The same old fears

This time next year
Where have we been?
This time next year
A life unseen

A waste of time
(This time next year)
A waste of life
(Don’t let it go to waste now)
To fear, to dread
(This time next year)
A life, a death
(The same old fears, year after year)

Oh, light of mine
To see you shine
A genesis
So generous

Tell me why you worry so
Holding on just to let go
Raising up each others hopes
Back again to stick and rope

I wish I was a bird in flight

LYRICS
How could you know? Could you tell?
A new spell
Just by the toll of the bell
My farewell

Lost in the glow of the crown
Faux halo
Now fading out, slowing down
No ride high

SILLY MAN

Weight of a dream
Weight of a dream

Come
Go
High
Low

SINNERMAN

Weight of a dream
Weight of a dream

HEATHEN MAN

Love is a drop from above
Love is a drop from above
Cruel to the few faint of heart
Kind to the mass taking part

Still lies a search - lies a climb
A climb that is measured in time
The curse of the climb is to know
How little you’ll ever know

Weight of a dream
Weight of a dream

LYRICS
I can’t say why 
Can’t explain 
All just changed 

Now I’m purified 
Qualified 
In my mind’s eye 
I saw me and you 

Understand 
The change in man 
My change in plans 

And you 
Saw it through 
All the while 
All while I 
I just changed my mind 

So now 
One eye blind 
One eye sees 
My reprise 
Come what may 

Day-to-day 
Night-to-night 
Out of sight 
I just changed my mind 

So this 
A reply 
A goodbye 
To the sky 
I won’t change my mind

LYRICS
Can't explain it 
Can't escape it 
Can't apply it 
Can't deny it 

Why deny it? 
Why defy it? 
Why don't face it? 
Celebrate it now 

Heavens above 
Above above above 
Heavens above 
Above above above 

So awaited 
So debated 
So sedated 
So frustrated 

Heavens above 
Above above above 
Heavens above 
Above above above 

Can't explain it 
Can't escape it 
Can't apply it 
Can't deny it 

Heavens above 
Above above above 
Heavens above 
Above above above
