When
i'm
Sleeping
Only when i'm sleeping
I take the pain and turn it to a cloud
A cloud...
Into me i'm dreaming
Of things that can't be seen and worlds undone
I fall into a place where nothing fits
And hold me down, to taste the sweet of this
Forever missed
Chorus
Into life, I will wake and I willl wonder
With the weight of my emotions on my back
And the oceans of my soul will colour
Verdant green with envy
For the love between the new sun and the moon
Whispering your words as,
If you had whispered softly to my ear
My ear...
And waiting there we'd sometimes,
Close our eyes and wish the miles away
And there you'd be beside me in my dreams
And hold me down,
To taste the sweet of this
Forever missed
Chorus
Say you'll never leave me,
"I can't" you'd smile and kiss my tears away
My tears away...
I wished upon the morning,
That you'd return and wash my fears away
My fears away...

Never
Mine
Verse 1
I wait and hope and pray for the coming,
Dreaming of a day when time will falter,
And flicker...
Light surround me
I can't help wondering if I am,
Losing time, run away from the last goodbye
My shadow follows me
Chorus
To keep holding on,
Is the last hope... and my breath
Wasting my dreams for I,
Am never whole, and never mine
Verse 2
Stretch and reach and long for a lover
One to show me leaves that are evergreen
A touch turns to dust...
My last home was a storm cloud
Grey and cold and sharp with a touch of snow
We shiver...
Chorus
Bridge
I will find you and forget you
My tears of hope still dripping from my cheek
I capture in your eyes, a promise...
"Never let me go"
And I will wait,
Home again for you...

Moment
Verse 1
And he said...
Little girl in your white dress,
Wrinkled by the cold
Have they put a spell on you and,
whisked you away like a paper doll
Chorus
You don't have to see me
You don't have to know my dreams
You don't have to be there
You don't have to stay forever
Just for a moment...
Stay a moment longer love, I....
Verse 2
So she said...
Little boy with your blue eyes,
Can we ever cry?
Crawl the skin and I can touch your face...
But what's another winter,
when your shattered pinions scream!
Redemptions far and I can't...
Live that life again
Chorus
Verse 3
Just another moment passed,
since the sun went 'round the moon,
Now i'm an ugly child held within your star spun swoon
I have tried to reach through,
Time and tears and all that's changed
I have tried to reach you
And the winds that call your name...
They keep calling me home to you....
Instrumental
Let me breathe you...

Melt to Ice
Verse 1
Wait and ravage time,
Stop the flows and I will,
Too much turning tight,
Like the loons lost cry...
of a soul to mine
Sun to spire burning bright
Chained between my world and right
Where sun streaked shadows sigh
Drips your jewell-drop eye,
From a bleeding sky
Chorus
And I would be there to meet you
And I would turn away to lead you home
To die, my heart my anguish turned to stone
The words you write, your subtle Light
I melt to ice again
Verse 2
I never practiced lies,
I never wanted you to try,
My anger seemed to burn away,
Your wild, wild bright...
Stop and listen, silent screams,
The dawn as I awaken to your...
Crimson ribbons fly,
Leading me, into your world of night
Chorus
Bridge
To see the tide, turn,
And the ripple of emotion on your banks
Inspired, i'm beginning to feel the light again and I
Carved of stone, my numbness seeping from the wounds
you've left behind
I melt to ice again
Chorus
