Lyrics

BEFORE AND AFTER THREE

I remember blue skies

And lying in the field

Alone at night with you

The clouds made me cry

And you made me feel

The way you always do

I sit and stare and hope you notice me

You like the thrill, before and after three

I remember sunshine

Through my window pane

And glowing in my eyes

The clouds began to rain

In the carnival sky

I sit and think and wonder what will be

Set your watch before and after three

I remember Fish Head

And Lucy’s Playground

The sounds of Egypt

The sounds of Rome

I sit and stare at the lonely tree

She said beware before and after three

THE VISION

The floor beneath has shattered

A pillow made of glass

Each path I took behind me

Is a memory of the past

The walls are growing thinner

They reveal an empty space

A single point of light now

Is the only saving grace

The maze has no exit

The entrance sealed behind

And all the wanting in the world

It’s something I can’t find

The goal is in the mirror

The reflection shows your pain

You can never go back and live

The journey once again

The sound is like a crystal

It hums a perfect tone

I stand inside this vision

A traveler not alone

I thought I’d find the answer

The meaning etched in stone

But the journey was the question

The only one I’ve ever known

THE WAITING

The sun is warm, the sky is clear

I’ve left the storm

For a brighter day to walk around in

I’m waiting for the past

My laugh is true, my thoughts are bright

The world is new

And filled with light to walk around in

I’m just waiting for the past

A whispering ghost

Storms I’ve faced

Darkness blurs

My life erased

A brand new day, no looking back

I’ve sealed my fate

And I can not wait to touch the sky

I’m waiting for the future

The past still calls, a quiet hum

I’m not the same

But I am to some when I touch the sky

I’m still waiting for the future

A whispering ghost

Storms I’ve faced

Darkness blurs

My life erased

I breath so deep, a gentle sigh

No promises to keep

And my head held high when I see the light

I’m still waiting for the past

LIFE IS STRANGE

Life is strange

And time stands still

You rearrange and lose the thrill

All we are and all you do

You traveled far

It’s up to you

Where are you now

And what can you do

You wonder how

All you hear and all you say

I sit in fear

But not today

Life is strange

Life is so strange

WOULD YOU?

If you are lonely still

I am the one that will be there, for you

Ah, if I could turn back time

I’d spend mine with you

I’d spend mine with you

Where are you going to

I am the one that cries for you, I do

Ah, if I could turn back time

I’d spend mine with you

I’d spend mine with you

Did you find it out there?

I will look for you and me

If you had all the time, would you?

DO YOU FEEL ALRIGHT?

I walk alone sometimes at night

And I feel the warm winds of yesterday

But I can’t hear what they’re saying

Do you feel alright?

Then hold me

You say it’s kind of nice

Well show me

I glance across an empty room

Her eyes like embers glowing

Two shadows in the night

A whisper in my other ear

Two shadows form as one

And now you have disappeared

The night has closed her eyes

And I’m in a sad and lonely empty place

Do you feel alright?

Then hold me

You say it’s kind of nice

Control me

WIDE AWAKE

In a cold room

In solitude

I lay awake

I hear the wind blow

Through the trees

I’m wide awake

Under the moon glow

That shines bright

So far away

I’m in a river

That runs deep

I’m all alone

I’m looking back now

Through the years

They’re far away

And through the window

I see you smile

You’re not alone

And that’s the reason

To turn back time

I’m all alone

So far away now

DREAMS WILL FADE AWAY

In melted wax

I saw your face

It takes me back to a distant place

Of black and red

In melted wax

I saw your smile

It takes me back

Only for a while

And now it’s gone away

And now it’s gone away

The melted wax

Has disappeared

The flame put out

By a single tear

And dreams will fade away

And dreams will fade away

And dreams will fade away

And dreams will fade away

THE STRANGER

A golden light, a gentle glow

Quiet descends and shadows grow

A silent night where time stands still

The stranger climbs a lonely hill

He walks alone, he’ll touch the sky

He’s too far from home

A crimson sky is painted bright

A silver beam cuts through the night

A waking dream, a strange new world

Memories fade, a forgotten girl

Twisted trees that touch the sky

Silent sounds as clouds drift by, as clouds drift by

The stranger stops and stands alone

He knows he’s now too far from home, too far from home

Time moves slowly, then drifts away

The stranger must be on his way

Yesterday is tomorrows past

Dreams of today will often pass, if you let them

He walks alone, he’ll touch the sky

He’s too far from home
