1. Come lie down with me (and sing my song).

You will know me walking slowly through the spaces underneath. Pull me under, rolling thunder, echoes all up and down the street. Come lie down with me and sing my song, close your eyes and soon we will be gone.

Midnight water, lovely daughter, this was just where I wanted to be. Windows open, nothing spoken, just the sound of the rain on the sea. Come lie down with me and sing my song, close your eyes and soon we will be gone.

In the dream I was older and I sat on the bench in the park, you came up from the ground and you followed me into the dark. Come lie down with me and sing my song, close your eyes and soon we will be gone.


2. An old familiar scene.

Midnight brings you waves in through, across the world to me, I am still here thinking about what you came to be. I can see your face there in the moonlight on the wall, the shadows bend the light into a little golden ball. One by one the shapes become an old familiar scene, I watch them flicker slowly as I'm falling off to sleep.

I can almost hear the words come rising from your tongue, I can almost hear you laughing when the morning comes. And sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night I can see the angels come in, falling from your eyes. One by one the shapes become an old familiar scene, I watch them flicker slowly as I'm falling off to sleep.

I can see you far away off in another time, still ride on, the world is gone and somehow you survived. You sit there by the window looking out into the rain, everyone was waiting but you never, ever came. One by one the shapes become an old familiar scene, I watch them flicker slowly as I'm falling off to sleep.


3. Rolling black water.

Down by the shoreline, down by the sea, rolling black water, singing me to sleep. Keeps rushing forward, keeps rushing by, rolling black water keep me inside.

Out of the warm night, into the trees, rolling black water, sing me to sleep. Send me a raincloud, tell me goodbye, rolling black water, keep me alive.


4. King of earth.

King of earth with eyes of fire burned a hole inside of me, took me out across the water, now his face is all I see. King of earth has always known me, always shown me all I've seen, took my hand and lead me forward, knowing what was meant to be.

King of earth with one eye open watching over all the time, now he walks along beside me, tracing pictures in my mind. All the world is singing for me, still his voice is all I hear, things get colder, feeling older, as the bright lights disappear.


5. Peel back the moon, beware!

Coming all around us in the blue light of the morning, the whole entire world was in your eyes, felt so powerless and simple, the rain was on the window, sliding down and dripping all inside. So I walked down by the water, saw the pulsing mass was shining, listened to the things out in the night, threw my dollars on the fire, crawled out through the wire, hoping we'd eventually collide. Hold my head to the skin, I said, when my heart wasn't always there. As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

Through the darkness I kept moving, down the streets and through the alleys, hiding in the doorways from the cold and everything was pretty, stealing through the city, always somewhere better left to go. So I climbed up on the mountain and the clouds were all around me, I stumbled on, I could not see the light. Always running from the slaughter, trembling through the water, trying to find away back down inside. Hold my head to the skin, I said, when my heart wasn't always there. As you turn down the light in the long black night, peel back the moon, beware!

In the shadows I was walking, I was hidden from the morning, everything just seemed to fade away. I was living in a movie, you never even knew me, the people looked right through me everyday. It was coming all around us in the blue light of the morning, the whole entire world was in your eyes, felt so powerless and simple, the rain was on the window, sliding down and dripping all inside.


6. 23rd dream.

Somewhere down along the way, I spilled out into the day, I made my way here slowly, with worlds of white below me. I went out on across the stream, dripping sounds had filled the trees and no more words were spoken, the circle was unbroken.

I heard the voices through the wall, I touched the things that no one saw and deep inside you heard me, this was my 23rd dream.


7. Somewhere down the river.

I laid there in the morning with the sunlight in my eyes, I saw you in the water as you slowly floated by. Somewhere down the river, somewhere on the sea, the sun came down, the moon was round and shining over me. The rain poured around us, and the fog had filled the air, I faded out till finally I wasn't even there. I was always waiting, never going home, I was gone so far away from everything I'd known.

I went out on the pathway, I went on down the road, looked out every window, climbed every hole. Rose up through the water, crawled up on the sore, said goodbye this one last time and walked out through the door.

When I finally came back home I knew the end was near, I rose at dawn, my mind was on, reversing through the years. Somewhere down the river, somewhere on the sea, the sun came down, the moon was round and shining over me.

I went out on the pathway, I went on down the road, looked out every window, climbed every hole. Rose up through the water, crawled up on the sore, said goodbye this one last time and walked out through the door.


8. The spider and the fly.

Trembling like a fly all tangled in a web unseen, feeling like I'm always falling backwards in the dream. Around me all the holy men were kneeling on the floor asking for forgiveness, they would wait forever more. A cool wind blows on by, the spider and the fly.

In the dying light I saw a child there so fair, bending through the shadows as she moved up through the air. I could hear her voice as it came calling through the dark, though I never found her, I have held her in my heart. A cool wind blows on by, the spider and the fly.

I could always feel you here with me, forming all the words I ever speak, seeing everything that will ever be, through me. Over all the years now I have always heard this song, it sings me off to sleep and then it wakes me in the dawn. It was such a mystery I pondered all the time, one day without warning it came forming in my mind. A cool wind blows on by, the spider and the fly.


9. Forming.

Early in the morning waiting for the sun, I'd thought I'd never see you thought you'd never come. I pictured you inside me coming through the blood, I wished that I can reach you, bring you up above. And all along, I wondered if you had gone away, I thought of all the living things forming every day, forming in the water, forming on the land. I could see their faces in the sand.


10. All the world is waiting.

I run down the street with all the wandering things, everyone can see the world is coming free. The monumental minds will dangle on a wire, the great enormous wall, eventually will fall. And all the world is waiting to lay beneath the water, to use up from the ruins and climb up from the bottom.

I thought I heard you say the end is on the way, I thought I heard you sing a million lovely things, I thought I heard you cry a howling through the night, an everlasting scream, to echo through your dreams. And all the world is waiting to lay beneath the water, to rise up from the ruins and climb up from the bottom.

It was always growing there, a dim light in my eyes, coming on to lead me through the night. All at once then slowly every sound you've ever known is hummed by all the world in a drone, is hummed by all the world in a drone. And all the world is waiting to lay beneath the water, to rise up from the ruins and climb up from the bottom.


11. Under the northern sky.

When all the things have come out in the morning sun, woke up and come to life, under the northern sky. Then we will come to be wrapped in a web of green, caught in the silent sea, where you were born with me.

Last night I saw you crawl down from the crumbling wall, we laughed and rank all night under the northern sky.


12. Back to the web.

Bring the light in through to me, when I'm feeling cold, you're just hiding in between, climb in through the hole. Things that crawl within your mind, echo always deep inside, lost somewhere you'll never find, this was what we said, come back to the web.

Fold your heart into the clay, bury all you were, all the things you've wished away lie beneath the dirt. Things that drawl within your mind, echo always deep inside, lost somewhere you'll never find, this was what we said, come back to the web.

Put your mind inside of me, let me feel your love, now the sky is all you see, calling from above. Things that drawl within your mind, echo always deep inside, lost somewhere you'll never find, this was what we said, come back to the web, come back to the web.
