It's like I can see the storm Rising behind your eyes I can see these dark clouds form Hear words that drain with the rain in the skies The lightning cloud freezes your smile I fear for your heart it is beating so hard And you're gone for a while to that world that is coming apart And I remember that dream oh so vividly Remember these heart beats so fast so desperately Over that ocean I hope you'll return to me too Oh how I wish I could bear that cross for you

silence 03:40
The wall I'm standing at is sweating Feels my hand Cold sweat is pouring down the trembling wall Feels my uneasiness Gently spoken words Bent visibly Whirling round my head Not one sound but I hear The silence of tears in my ears Gently falling words Melt silently Whirling like snow in hot air The wall I'm standing at is trembling Takes my hand Holds me and makes me still the sweating wall Takes my uneasiness

Some days it feels as if my skin just froze I feel to cold to move to breathe to think I feel that stream of seconds as it flows A day that passes by like sticky ink But then again there is that smile It's heat and light and for that while Your smile makes everything alright A wondrous star that sets this night alight Like shards of glass some days may cut my skin I trace one cut with a light curious touch Perhaps it feels we all pay for some sin From an account that's overdrawn too much
4.
Frozen moonlight glitters in a tree In your soul is where I want to be Your eyes glow your eyes amaze Sun and ice and hearts and days Love you're a dream and you're a friend Your smile touches your eyes shine Fresh as dew in my world And it's all I dream You make me laugh you make me smile Your smile touches your eyes shine Rainbow dance in your eyes And it's all I dream Chocolate in a waiting room Words make their way riding on a broom Beauty and pride here she flies I remember that first look in your eyes

She smiles and says whenever I feel sick at night My angel comes to me and takes me for a ride To swim with dolphins sail around the moon or Sing with butterflies or paint a flower in the sky All men aboard she cries with stuffies in both hands Her ship will sail where fairies dwell and dragons make a stand She winks at us behind the glass I swear I saw it Saw the light she touched the flower she paints in the sky
