On your own for the first time 
Holding court beside a stream 
They let you go up on the mountain 
Until you disappeared in green 
Forge of fire has given birth 
To a sword of golden twine 
Mirror sees me facing her 
Naked river flowing wine 
Somebody told me that freedom for you 
No longer held such gripping fascination 
Why don't you let your old fears slip away 
Meet me at the subway station 
This helpless day 
An empty palate on which I paint 
The scenes I see around you 
Through a mist of passing rain 
When time takes on the rhythm 
Of an open spinning cage 
Are you waiting for me Momma 
Like a bookmark on the page 
Where we'll read that freedom for you 
May once again hold thorough fascination 
Why don't you let your old fears slip away 
Meet me at the subway station 
Inspiration sister 
Brother drowning in the sea 
Find hidden shores beneath our feet 
To step on casually 
Time stretches on before me 
Sometimes rolling down the hill 
Whatever your impression 
I'll keep on rolling 'til 
You tell me that freedom is for you 
A pervasive spark of good old fascination 
Why don't you let your old fears slip away 
Meet me at the subway station

The Subway Station

I met a man as he was breathing 
All across the barren land 
He showed me how to be fruitful 
As I take my final stand 
Oh, I don't plan to leave you here 
But I will do as I must 
Step on a New York highway 
Past fields of fire and rust 
I've seen Kedeira in a dream 
I've seen Kedeira in a dream 
Trading skin like water 
Turns bones grey unlike before 
Yes, I like the lifestyle you furnished 
As you showed me the exit door 
This war leaves no survivors 
Who know what they're surviving for 
Night carried away by the calling 
Back to you I'm drawn even more 
I've seen Kedeira in a dream 
I've seen Kedeira in a dream 
When I come up on my fortune 
I'll remember 
You've been kind to me 
While I sit in the corner 
Recovering from a bender 
I still remember what I'm meant to be 
Folded in forbidden smiles 
An expedition cast aside 
Your love affair with this soldier 
Got lost in the timeless a while 
Dark precious hours 
Are eating my flesh away 
I tossed my prayer into the wind 
I'll win you back someday 
I've seen Kedeira in a dream 
I've seen Kedeira in a dream
