The Dream

Cast into the cold dark night
Starlight sheds away
In creaking woods have hardihood
For far the north a shelter's warmth 
A fire in the night to stay until the dawn
The break of day
The golden light of life
A travesty our majesty 
Comes riding in so faintly slowly 
Piercing winds unholy
But fleeting is the warmth in light
It fades into a memory
It fades into it distantly

Sonorous breathless breeze
Prosperous at ease
A miserly entirety 
Admonishing astonishing 
the fleets it blows off course to storms 
Lonely forlorn
In nautical skin what methodical sin 
Conspiring and admiring 
the Sun's complexion dear affection 
All directions beams stream 
So unconditional it seems 
The north wind sees what darkness sees
The north wind sees obscurity

Blaring his soliloquy
When will the end be?
Light or not despite the lot 
I come to you will you break through 
These expectations?
Precious things 
Like winters to springs
They only last so long 
And then they're gone it seems so wrong
While kindness dominates misfortunes
Kindness comes on blue moons
And in this sea of apathy
Darkness makes the light shine bright
Though I beg you for just one good night

The North Wind and the Sun

You standing there far from me beyond the crowd
Me trying to tear my way through, feeling proud
That night felt real as the day, the sights the smells the lively way
You made me feel oh so free

I'll be there soon my dear
Have no fear, yeah here I come
Funny I know, cause you're the only fearsome one
My legs shake, earth quakes, stomach churns,
But at the same time I've returned
To what I only know as home

And you thought and you thought
And I pleaded that I needed you so bad
and you tugged at my strings, made me so mad, yeah
You knew just what to say and do
I knew just that I wanted you
And finally we embraced and danced

Then I awoke to the sound of my alarm
What alarmed me most was that you weren't there in my arms
I recalled you were far away
Remembered how you'd really say
Nothing much of anything at all

I only feel at home in dreams of you

The Wrath Of Wes

Written by Leonard Coen with verses by Jeff Buckley.

Cover - Hallelujah

Remember when the outside felt like a virgin world to claim?
And every song would sound so new. Now they all just sound the same.
Do you recall the smell of Spring? What no fairytale could capture.
And in the Fall, the cold and rain, and yet still life was rapture.

As the music box creaks to a halt we watch ourselves turn into stone.
It doesn't seem, though, like much of our fault. It's only natural when you are alone.

When the sun doesn't shine as warm or as bright and the nights aren't as wonderfully magical, when the air doesn't smell as fresh or as sweet - it's gone stale like those monotonous old madrigals, 

Remember all the hopes we had and no doubt our dreams come true.
Do you recall the moment when we lost our grip on those things too?

They say we grow into ourselves, but now I'm grown and that's hard to believe.
As a child I knew just who I was. It was a blessing to be so naive.

I've joked only magic can bring it all back. Was I wrong?
The spell is you. You're the song that sounds so new.
You are the scent of the Spring, everything untamed.
Since you struck a flame can I be your world to claim?
