COUNTER CHANGE. This life is now take the change and pass it across like there’s going to be another well another you greet but they sense the fortune that hangs from the wall you can’t see there’s nowhere but here and no time but now what’s in front of you 'listen' they say >> make it what you can >> treat this moment as your final turn >> take your misgivings and shoulder them away Monotony bangs but it brings the daydream and it’s not so bad door inward swings rub off your persuasions and surprise them both the fraction that spark give them a thought - take the change pass it across like there will be no new day >> make it what you can >> treat this moment as your final turn >> take your forgivings and shoulder them this way This life is now give them something to hold and to crown This life is now

Obvious II 02:47

OBVIOUS II. Well, the time has come. The man, he sits... as he watches them go... >> Go today and find me a camera >> Find me some person coloured snap memories. So, I sit and watch the rain fall. The rain falls in. And it’s a pleasantry ...what a vision it’s a sin. It’s a small sin - it’s a small sin for me. >> Go today and follow it towards me. >> Follow a/this shallow breezed decree. Clouds tumble in and out of my meadow. What has given them the wind. Let’s begin, but whose is this shadow, but a flick of channel brings... >> Brings a day where I don’t really matter. >> Gather puzzle pieces, light on, begin... >> Begin, a day where it doesn’t really matter. >> Doesn’t really matter again.

Antidote for Now 04:05
lyrics

ANTIDOTE FOR NOW. To my eyes view this event is a postcard lost somewhere in the room, with a postmark you’ll find up on the rear of your dressing room. Inside, it can be hard to find what you really think you’re looking for, but beyond the tear there can be evolving wings. >> Take some, time to find, a piece of you that’s not so deep inside. >> It may not be mine but I’ll help you to get there someday while I’m gone. A wandering alone becomes the passway to your soul, you’d thought it was gone but it lingers like the reverence feel of home. Reverence feel of home. >> Take some, time to find, a piece of you that’s not so deep inside. >> It may not be mine but I’ll help you get there someday while I’m gone. To my eyes view it comes, eloping like the visions that are gone. Though it feels like so ho-ho-ho alone the one is two and they will carry on. >> Take some, time to climb, to piece the you that’s not so deep inside. >> It may not be kind, but it’ll help you get there someday while it’s gone. Though I can’t see what it will mean to me I must carry on. On, on, on and along...

Static 03:16

STATIC. A Simpsons’ sky rises on the range with no stain to unsettle this view... it’s so strange >> Take me faster Bridge St >> but not like, avoidance to a point The static takes grass dry and pale and deposits it on the mat-that shields my feet A leap high to an arc not reached and snapped back looks better than the rusted trap... I could be >> Take me faster Bridge St >> but not to a roadway I needn't meet ---To anchors they tie and close spirit grasping --- laboring, switching and waiting - I’m tasting it’s flow... It’s flow Coolness it flows overhead; behind glass there’s glows tempting seasons to give and to... go >> What makes us, afraid to go >> could be heart tied, an open sky or both

Numb Saturday Spark. 05:35
lyrics

NUMB SATURDAY SPARK. You're humidity in the breath of that decision the incision is made and how I bleed for another day and yet one like no other --The squall that is you swept by this crowd of eyes made the hunger be bothered and the demeanor unsettled Whatever you cry - its a temptress Whatever you cry - its my limb’s momentum ...while restraining is just a figment under the skin which only you should see Clambering to a point of no better vantage is melodic but is scant the adventure that is submerged within that’s not dimming --Seconds they lounge and kindly stall for my absorption in recollection they hurry Whatever you cry - then the race starts inside Whatever you cry - haplessly wending And around with maladroit coordination Fascination looks like the brother, infatuation is somewhat slower --Missing how stranger they pass while some are likewise undercover - Haplessly wending.... Mind oblivious to apprehending, then it comes. -> Calm ushers in under heavy sedation as you turn to a heel with a calf -> Missing what’s lens obscured imaging the throne with two - it won’t last -> Down by a changing view that holds a sense of you and a reflection in eyes ... time for re-grouping, a heart that is stooping ...with a clue --Haunt my musing heaven awhile lest my vision entrap another as you floated by... Haunt my heaven awhile Haunt my heaven awhile

THE SHORT FALL (HAZCHEM). Lovers, I think you missed that waterfall. Beautiful and oh-so tall. You’d fall in love again. Wonderful, the scenery you left behind. You turned your back or changed your mind. While I found that there was more. Trouble, the road ahead around the bend A telling bell, the twisted end. You would have missed it all. Uncovered, the reasons why you came so far. To fall just short - it caused alarm. For I’ve seen it all before. Lovers, love’s a fix but it won’t mend. The things you pass up to life’s end. You’d have missed it all again.

More Than a Thousand Miles 02:42
lyrics

MORE THAN A THOUSAND MILES. You only want me ‘cuz I’m new. You only picked me from the pile because I glisten - ain’t that true. I (you) walked into that room. --- And she said “Are you gonna take me?” --- He said “You’re just what I’ve been looking for.” The hands they felt like they belonged. They ran a course along her contours with a gentleness so strong. He knew this was the one. --- “Are you gonna take me?” she said. --- “I’ve been looking for you for so long” The scent it caught him by surprise. He thought he’d never make the choice so smartly - it was in his eyes. Time and fortune will decide. He sees his heart and money fly. He shares the eve--nings with her ...and now I can only breathe a silent sigh. A life to travel by and by. --- “Where’re you gonna take me?” he said --- Her here and now had come so... --- “Where’re you gonna take me?” she said --- His here and now had come so... --- “I'll take you where you take me” they said --- Their here and now had come so soon. Now a thousand miles won't break their hearts. But a thousand more might be the catalyst to make them never want to be apart. A step's the way to start.

A to B Alone 02:09
lyrics

A to B ALONE. A, A to B alone. Some wonder if I’ll ever, ever come on home. I go, all upon my own - buying tickets, turning corners, it seeds the life I’ve grown. Some wonder as I wander in the far away. Some wonder as I wander in the far away. I dine, dine on everyday. The visions are the food that fuel a coming day. Tomorrow, what becomes my potion - is a river, or a forest, mountains, a roaring ocean. But time, time is cast away. It is nothing. Dusk and dawn are mine to set each day. And so, I wonder on. Finding places from my dreams - these pathways can’t be wrong. Some wonder as I wander in the far away. Some wonder as I wander in the far away. My fill, could be here soon. So I take these moments, pocket them, for a rainy afternoon. Reflections like in a mirror star. So long from A now - have I really come this far?

Until I Fall 02:45

UNTIL I FALL. Well she had taken-on-the-world... and won. She had made-a-little-change, see her - she’s not the only one. Now her opening-of-arms... has gone. I’ll be chasing-on-a-dream... that might bring me near... To Her. What am I gonna do? To Her. She’ll see my whole life through. To Her. I’ll take a chance or two. To Her I’ll be near... I’ll be pushing-all-my-hearts aside. They’ll be playing-second-fiddle, I know I’ll be content inside. When I find-the-one-to-whom... I confide. She’ll know that there’s-a-part-of-her... that might bring me near... To Her. What am I gonna do? To Her. She’ll see my whole life through. To Her. I’ll take a chance or two. To Her I’ll be near... And when my waiting-with-my-men... envisions you. You’ll know my heart-has-found-again, and it’s piecing back to one from two. With my opening-of-arms... it will be true. I’ll be taking-on-the-world... but until I fall... Until I fall for her... What will my life become? For Her. I’ll be the longing one. For Her. I’ll make a chance and with it run. For Her I’ll be here...

Wide River (Mann River) 02:37

WIDE RIVER (MANN RIVER). Wide river with your rolling stones - Guide me to a home, but keep me near. A sandy road that follows you - May it lead me too, and spare me thought. I think of and see the things you bring - And as your water sings, don’t rush into the sea. Wide river with your rolling stones, guide me to a home. Wide river with your rolling stones - guide me to a home. Amongst high hills you cut your path - And as nature’s wrath, it holds me in fear. Diversions are your signature - A winding map for the, guiding I sought. Still your flow is ever long - And as you soothe my song, never let me be. Wide river with your rolling stones, guide me to a home. Wide river with your rolling stones - guide me to a home.
