We've played the final game
Now we both remain
Froze beneath your jealous sky
Lord knows I fear to tread
I see no steps ahead
Suspicion burns out all the lights
Chorus:
On a broken stairway
Is this where our love will stay
On a broken stairway
We say goodbye
Silence corrodes the air
I guess we can't repair
The cracks that run right through our lives
All of the tears you fake
Are abandoned here...
Take this man who comes to you
Take me to your side
I throw away my soulless days
I need you in my life
In the doorway of my heart
The presence of you shines
So put your face to my window
Trust what you see inside
Chorus:
What are these hands for
If I can't bring you fallen rain
What are these eyes for
If I can't see the moon
Watch over you
What are these arms for
If I can't hold you through t...
I see my mother sit in silence
Count the minutes to closing time
One more drink and he'll bring home anger
Like clockwork I would hide
Heavy steps
Drunken threats
Locked away I can feel you
Chorus:
In my room
I can hear her fight his kiss
In my room
I hear him bring down his fist
And still at night
I hear my mother cry
Tonight the wait is over
And he won't be pacified
He'll raise his bottle ju...
O Mount Kailas
Uncover me
Come my restoration
Wash my body clean
I've been walking
Along a crooked path
Where the walls have fallen
And broken me in half
I'm telling you
I will not rest till I lay down my head
I'm gonna go
In the house of stone and light
I shall not cry for the blindman I leave behind
When I go
In the house of stone and light
In the house of stone and light
Holy lady
Show me m...
And I'll be the train
That keeps on rollin'
Up up around the bend
I'll be the voice that you hear callin'
Howlin' on the wind
I'll be the river deep
Runnin' through your sleep
And I'll be the hand
That keeps on a-knockin'
Up up against your door
I'll be the promise never broken
O forever more
Every vow I make
O I won't forsake
Chorus:
'Cause I'm gonna be
The keeper of the flame
You won't forge...
There's a monkey in my dreams
Clinging like a thief
Forcing my eyes open
Wrestling in my sheets
I'm living on my own now
Without you on my back
But still you keep on calling
No disappearing act
You used to be so good at that
You used to be so good at games
Now you go 'round and around
Exiting the way you came
Just a monkey in my dreams
That's what you are
A loose valve of escaping steam
That's...
Over the railway lines
Under the bridge
Where we met first time
I'm coming across town
Walking to your house
Yesterday weighs you down
O lonely girl won't you come on out
I swear it'll be alright
On this holy night
Chorus:
Put on your red dress baby
And wear your smile
Say goodnight to your sister
We're gonna walk for miles
We'll go where the boats are leaving
In St. George's Bay
And when I lo...
Just another day
Love seems so far away
There's no sign of life
In Eden's garden
Just another day
Liberty's coming out to play
On a Belfast street
Concrete stained
Blood and rain
I'm ashamed
Chorus:
There's a broken man
Praying for a wounded land
Oh, why can't we shape the invisible
For faith that's blind
The voice of reason cries
Oh, why can't we shape the invisible
Just another day
Brotherho...
Hannah is dreaming
She's young once again
She stands with her brother
With thousands of men
Her head has been shaven
By a black uniform
She's one of God's children
That waits at the door
Tears on her pillow
She tightens her lips
Touches the number
Tattooed on her wrist
The sign says "Treblinka"
Again she can't breathe
For all of the children
She'll always see
They're her constant companions
Si...
