Oscars Lullaby (instrumental)

Three shots in, but the pain's still there.
Losing your sweetness is just too hard to bear.
You were my angel, my inspiration too,
And I am lost without you.

Sweet dreams forever, beloved go to sleep,
Cherished eternal, and treasured as I weep.
Thank you for giving my hometown back to me
And driving ghosts to the sea.

Beloved

Standing in the cold light of day,
Madness burned away.
Sunrise in my eyes to stay,
Only the sad songs left to play.

No more can the heart rule the mind,
Close your eyes, you're better blind.
Find your place, forget his face, be kind,
Return to stone, delete hope and rewind.

Bright with a child's smile she shines,
When she reads his words she sighs.
What right in any light have I?
Their love is sacred, so goodbye.

Some things are good, some are shared.
Some things are bad, they're better dead.
What's thought and hard-fought is fled.
Sleep now, the words will go unsaid.
Sleep now, the words will go unsaid.

Unsaid

Just I think I'm clear of the woods
Dreams of a fool drift back, like mist,
And wind themselves around my heart
And I'm undone.

Tortured by Time and drowning in blue eyes,
Losing myself in blissful goodbyes.
A smile is all it takes from him
And I'm undone.

Walls made of glass could melt if I reached out,
His skin so close its warmth is mine.
I long to kiss his open lips
And make myself undone.

Just as I think I'm losing my mind
I touch his face and know I am,
Cos madness sweet is Love divine, 
I long to be undone.

Bright in my heart and shining in my tears
He's all I'll see and ever hear:
My touch, and sight, my star, my right.
My need to be undone.

Falling through Time, undreaming all the years,
My lips on his throat dispel all fears.
In breathless sighs I kiss his eyes
And fly to be undone.

Undone

Under the rainbow no treasure or sunsets, just rain,
And you, high in the sky.
I'm as low as I can go
You don't even see me.

You've lights to guide you; I stumble around in the dark,
While you find something true,
And I never find you.
I'm as low as I can go,
You don't even see me.

Lost in the rainbow, you're out of my reach in the rain,
And you don't call my name.
I'm as low as I can go.
You don't even see me.

Invisible

Rain against a window pane at night:
Backdrop for dreams and denial.
Roadside heartbreak, urban skyscape:
The knife that cuts deep into innocent love.

Reflection to reflection,
Truth told in a world of glass - 
The song you don't want sung.
Scars explained with lies,

Pain brushed a way and disguised.
Water falling from the dark clouds:
A good place to hide.

Now you smile for all the room...
And me, casting a sea of light around you.
That's the cold blade, and a fool made
When all you have you give the world for free.

Reflection to reflection,
Truth told in a world of glass - 
The song you don't want sung.

Reflections

Stars and dead trees scratch the sky
A bitter night starts dragging by.
Eyes fixed on the door and wall,
Trying to lose you, trying to fall.

Spinning round, looped in my brain,
Here's your endless face again.
Which one of us is going down?
I'm saving you before I drown.

Sweet dreams on a Benylin bender pass me by,
On an artificial low
When I should be flying high.

Raised to bury feelings deep,
Only living in my sleep.
Trying to climb beyond the wall,
Watch me fall.

Sweet dreams on a Benylin bender pass me by,
On an artificial low
When I should be flying high.
Yeah I should be flying high.
Yeah I should be flying high.

Oh I should be flying high.
