THE DAY THAT RAINED
Words and Music by Danny Caing


each ended with a little cry
as if what awaited
were a surprise

each concealed more than it explained
faces well remembered
the day that rained

everything had gone differently
from what had imagined
trying to do it all over again
even there was no point

each ended with a little cry
as if what awaited
were a surprise

each concealed more than it explained
faces well remembered
the day that rained

walked a little way up the grassy hill
find any another way
the light hard to see in the bright day
create an opening

each ended with a little cry
as if what awaited
were a surprise

each concealed more than it explained
faces well remembered
the day that rained

everything had gone differently
from what had imagined
trying to do it all over again
even there was no point

THE DAY THAT RAINED by Danny Caing

I THINK I MUST BE REALLY CRAZY
Words and Music by Danny Caing



the hangover was all but gone
so was the residue
of last night's eeriness
and the near madness

I think I must be really crazy
I've heard lots of crazy things
I think I must be really crazy
I hate to be answered by nothing
like wild and sullen ocean
like the barren desert land

for some reason that depressed me
so I'm hanging around
grinning a little bit
I was due with this

I think I must be really crazy
I've heard lots of crazy things
I think I must be really crazy
I hate to be answered by nothing
like the wild and sullen ocean
like the barren desert land

the hangover was all but gone
so was the residue
of last night's eeriness
and the near madness

I think I must be really crazy
I've heard lots of crazy things
I think I must be really crazy
I hate to be answered by nothing
like the wild and sullen ocean
like the barren desert land

I THINK I MUST BE REALLY CRAZY by Danny Caing

ULULATING SCREAM
Words and Music by Danny Caing


I woke and washed the taste of sleep
out with my mouth with water
a ghost cry without an echo
I was aloof and watchful

talking and not-talking
watching and not-watching
get out of here and sit there
reading and not-reading
singing and not-singing
drowsed into the late evening

I heard the cry for the third time
like a ululating scream
the sound was coming inside me
the jolting scream flatenned

talking and not-talking
watching and not-watching
get out of here and sit there
reading and not-reading
singing and not-singing
drowsed into the late evening

I woke and washed the taste of sleep
out with my mouth with water
a ghost cry without an echo
I was aloof and watchful

talking and not-talking
watching and not-watching
get out of here and sit there
reading and not-reading
singing and not-singing
drowsed into the late evening

talking and not-talking
watching and not-watching
get out of here and sit there
reading and not-reading
singing and not-singing
drowsed into the late evening

ULULATING SCREAM by Danny Caing

BRIGHT DARKNESS
Words and Music by Danny Caing



from here you could move
into any reality
deeper more quiet
as you blinked into awareness

the timeless part of you
remembered many worlds
your thoughts turning again
exultant measureless
solitary as space
feeling it like music

limits were all gone
and everything was possible
ancestral home-world
blueness between the sprays of light

the timeless part of you
remembered many worlds
your thoughts turning again
exultant measureless
solitary as space
feeling it like music

from here you could move
into any reality
deeper more quiet
as you blinked into awareness

the timeless part of you
remembered many worlds
your thoughts turning again
exultant measureless
solitary as space
feeling it like music

BRIGHT DARKNESS by Danny Caing

EBB FROM THE HEAVENS
Music by Danny Caing
Words by Caroline Walters

it was like pruning
unwanted branches
from a fruitful plant
warred with one another
down the valley floor
supremacy ruled

ebb from the heavens
stirring light that rose
like a visible answer
trying to make out
the shadowed filigree
dancing across the sky

face congested with rage
describing evils
of an enemy
casual viciousness
shattered defeats
the rhythm broken

ebb from the heavens
stirring light that rose
like a visible answer
trying to make out
the shadowed filigree
dancing across the sky

it was like pruning
unwanted branches
from a fruitful plant
warred with one another
down the valley floor
supremacy ruled

ebb from the heavens
stirring light that rose
like a visible answer
trying to make out
the shadowed filigree

FRAGMENTS AND FIGMENTS
Music by Danny Caing
Words by Caroline Walters



powers belied all that life taught
intone beliefs in unseen world
defense for unknown purpose
the endless sleeting effusions

fragments and figments
whirling off to emptiness
smoldering night
the sorted and arrayed subtends
each passing moment
keening sense of mortality

the meaning of the brief passage
lain hidden in broken strata
easy range willed in confusion
reaching out to an inner aura

fragments and figments
whirling off to emptiness
smoldering night
the sorted and arrayed subtends
each passing moment
keening sense of mortality

powers belied all that life taught
intone beliefs in unseen world
defense for an unknown purpose
the endless sleeting effusions

fragments and figments
whirling off to emptiness
smoldering night

AND STILL REACHING
Music by Danny Caing
Words by Caroline Walters & Danny Caing



(1)
there was no way of answering
even the attempt
would only make matters worse
you tried your own satisfaction
the very moment you
first set eyes upon her

you were more imaginative
more passionate
and still searching
submit to its imperatives
more isolate
and still reaching
and still reaching

(2)
you brought her to where she is now
many times you had
change her ways used her before
you wished you had nothing to hide
you had been horrified
to be compared to her

you were more imaginative
more passionate
and still searching
submit to its imperatives
more isolate
and still reaching
and still reaching

there was no way of answering
even the attempt
would only make matters worse
you tried your own satisfaction

AND STILL REACHING by Danny Caing

SOONER OR LATER
Music by Danny Caing
Words by Caroline Walters & Danny Caing


you sometimes wished
you had been left to sink
into oblivion
when things went well
you started to worry
though nothing happened

you can see too many sides
sooner or later
you will have to choose between your life
the happiness in this world
you can feel so many pain
sooner or later
you'll ask who would have thought so simple
could be so complicated

you have never
been alone for a while
unfairly maligned
don't get involved
you need a common sense
more than a few words

you can see too many sides
sooner or later
you will have to choose between your life
the happiness in this world
you can feel so many pain
sooner or later
you'll ask who would have thought so simple
could be so complicated

SOONER OR LATER by Danny Caing

BURDEN OF A CONSCIENCE
Music by Danny Caing
Words by Caroline Walters & Danny Caing


yes it sounds like forever
tomorrow would be too long
you loved having everything
elegant and beautiful

more than you've ever dreamed of
life had been so simple before
more than you've ever wanted
without the burden of conscience
you should change now
before you get in any deeper
you arrange now
before you get in any wider

you set for a long moment
and simply taken aback
expression of tenderness
reveals an innermost thought

more than you've ever dreamed of
life had been so simple before
more than you've ever wanted
without the burden of conscience
you should change now
before you get in any deeper
you arrange now
before you get in any wider

yes it sounds like forever
tomorrow would be too long
you loved having everything
elegant and beautiful

more than you've ever dreamed of
life had been so simple before

before you get in any deeper
you arrange now

BURDEN OF CONSCIENCE by Danny Caing

THINGS I SAID
Words and Music by Danny Caing



perhaps it would be better
that I did not try to open up
you were fabulous to me
your whisper came to me like a ghost

I did not know
how you would react
to the things I said
I did not know
what would come out
how the things I said

perhaps it's not forever
how swiftly fate could step in
your words made me happy
I'll look for you until I find you

I did not know
how you would react
to the things I said
I did not know
what would come out
how the things I said

perhaps it would be better
that I did not try to open up
you were fabulous to me
your whisper came to me like a ghost

I did not know
how you would react
to the things I said
I did not know
what would come out
how the things I said
