 Closing Down

The bars are closing down,
 and at each end of the town
  the hostile hackles rise,
   and storm clouds thump across the sky.
	
    The half-pint screamer cries
     as something brave inside him dies;
      no matter what he wills  
       life seems a black and bitter pill.

        Somewhere in the hills,
         some old friend is standing still
          and thinking, still, of me~ 
           some old vision that he sees.

            All at once his eye is keen; 
             he looks at what he hasn’t seen
              and he knows me, instantly,
               as the man I aimed to be;

                and all the pomp and piety
                 that never meant a thing to me
                  shudders to the floor,
                   with an ostentatious roar.

                    Though pitiful and poor,
                     there are small truths you can’t ignore
                      when you see them in the glass,
                       so drink well, before they pass.
 
                        And when the brew fills you, at last,
                         you have to find the essence fast
                          for the bars are closing down;
                           the bars are closing down.

Lyrix:

Uuuh let it rain 
let it rain 
let it rain 
on my skin love 
come like the wind 
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

My, my oh my love 
let me losen up that tie love
there’s no reason to be shy love 
come to me
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

mmm your lips taste like wine 
oh oh so mighty fine 
don’t deny love 
oh baby don’t make me cry love 
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

Uuuh let it rain 
let it rain 
let it rain 
on my skin love 
come like the wind 
come to me 
come to me 
come to me

Summer Rain Waltz (TygerTyger / Guitarbeard)

Beginning Of The End

If you ever smile, will it reach your eyes?
You play the serious, the grave
It’s a cover you create 
Something’s hidden in the way
You take me gently with such care
Like I’ll break if you let go
What is it I have not been told
Have you been on this earth before?
How did it end, or should I know?

Please hold me tight tonight, my love
And tell me what you fear
I promise I will fight for you 
Tell you what you need to hear
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears

I know your laughter it can ring
And your lilting voice will sing
If your darkness ever lifts 
As you cast the past adrift
I’ll be right here to k eep your place
As you float through time and space
To where you finally are free
To come back home to me
Cos you’ve been on this earth before
This time the ending’s one I know

Please hold me tight tonight, my love
And tell me what you fear
I promise I will fight for you 
Tell you what you need to hear
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears

We can miss or we can score
The time is ours to take and hold
The past is gone, our future clear
If we dare to promise what we dream

Please hold me tight tonight, my love
And tell me what you fear
I promise I will fight for you 
Tell you what you need to hear
Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears

Whatever demons threaten you
Must reckon first with me
Cos I won’t let you go before
The darkness disappears

Hold Me Tight
