Hard Tracks

The Day I Departed

This is my way

As the sunshine peers out,
from a rupture in the clouds,
winter turns and takes his bow. 
exit stage left, going down.
Applause fades away,
and the blacks into greys,
no colour's displayed. 

As the birds return to nests,
that the winds have almost wrecked,
The crows look on through hungry eyes,
spinning circles in the skies. 
Though the danger remains.
Hope the secrets are safe.
Almost nothing is sacred 

Distant hills create a frame,
joined up to the window pane.
a whole day which contains nought,
just a fragment of a thought.
Within or without.
The snow flys about.
Whilst we lay around. 

All your things placed in a line, 
as a way to pass the time, 
and though I guess what's yours is mine,
this final case is borderline.
You're falling awake.
As the time slips away.
Need a reason to stay. 

Though there's been lack of want,
could have seen it more up front.
Turn around you're back to front,
facing forward to the sun.
You're watching him play,
and you've nothing to say.
Nothing left to say. 

Moon companion in the sky.
Just a plane that's flying by,
in which people sit around,
listen carefully to the sounds. 
It's hope not dismay.
That the people remain.
As they're flying away.

Lyrics

I’m waiting for the day
Where the sky is on fire
I’m waiting for the day
On which the planet dies

I'm Waiting for the Day

I came here to dance
I dropped everything else
I love the show
It's quite a fresque
I came here to dance

I came here to dance
I flow through your face
Strawberry lights
Make this fuzzy
I came here to dance

Your purple eyes
Make me dazy
Your hand on me
Drives me crazy

I want so bad 
To make this last
I will go on
Until you'll be mine
	
I came here to dance
I don't mind the rest
I love to hold
Your silky wrists
I came here to dance

I came here to dance
I love this nest
It's a golden jail
I'm under arrest
I came here to dance

Your purple eyes
Make me dazy
Your hand on me
Drives me crazy

I want so bad 
To make this last
I will go on
Until you'll be mine

I Came Here To Dance
