1. Fire In The Head
You staysilent knowing always in time
this is the love that's divine
Sleep here
hoping knowing always in time
this is the love that's divine
and I'm waiting
when I return to her I find
I'm waiting
flowers of evil in my mind
I'm waiting
dancing with fire on the edge
I'm waiting
remembering all of what she said
with this fire in the head
You stay
silent knowing always in time
see how this love stays divine
Sleep here
hoping knowing always in time
see how this love stays divine
I'm waiting
hoping the rains will wash away
I'm waiting
hoping a guide will show the way
I'm waiting
dancing with fire on the edge
I'm waiting
remembering all of what she said
with this fire in the head
2. The Bazaar
silence swimming in a pool of dreamsbeneath its depths forgotten streams
above the city of the evening star
behind its walls the grand bazaar
as she walks through its endless maze
cursing those who mistrust her ways
please my friend no matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
doorways spilling out their sombre light
casting shadows that will raid the night
along the alleys of her ruling fears
walk the visions that will cause her tears
lying still as she wills her glance
through the eye of a charmer's trance
please my friend no matter what she sees
tell my lover come back to me
and on the walls
shadows play
twilight souls
anguished ways
lost adrift
severed seas
I await you
come to me
3. Correspondences
hope springs to lifecharmed by approaching listlessness
hands reaching out
to grasp the open emptiness
leading me down ...
and this goodbye
faced with hope and countenance
soulds slip away
to bask in glowing radiance
leading me down ...
as we run from the sun
and we harbour the lies
and we leave things undone
as we cover our eyes
does it tear you apart my love
does it tear you apart my love
it tears me apart
charmed by this light
this sombre guidance in her eyes
rage would entice
and final moments would arise
leading me down ...
does it tear you apart my love
does it tear you apart my love
it tears me apart
4. The Badger
Instrumental5. Silence
Silent spiritWalks before me
With her beauty
And with her eyes
Heven help me
I feel I'm fading
I should rest here
For a while
In the dreamtime
I'm awakened
As my senses
Seize the night
Heaven help me
I'm forsaken
I should rest here
For a while
And lie in the bed you've made Ophelia
Dry are the lips that lost their taste of love
Drown in the waters that would give you life
Cry as this lamentation thrusts its knife
In silence
Silent spirit
Walks before me
With her beauty
And with her eyes
Heven help me
I feel I'm fading
I should rest here
For a while
In silence
6. Sister Awake
when the winter was overshe returned there to find him
and her memories filled her with light
she remembered the beauty
she remembered desire
and her memeories filled her with light
i am the sun in the flame
cold from the flame turns away
and with these winds came a change
she wakes ...
sister walk through these fields of delight
but i want you to know
desperation's the tenderest trap
so gently you go
what will it take
sister awake
when this beautiful cult of desire
has left you for dead
isolation will cradle the lies
of things left unsaid
what will it take
sister awake
and you'll look to the heavens above
and taste its deceit
these temptations have blinded desires
to sleep at there feet
what will it take
sister awake
and you'll hear them call out your name
invoking the fates
chances are you've travelled too far
in stirring their hate
what will it take
sister awake
awake
7. Turn The Lamp Down Low
turn the lamp down lowshelter me
turn the lamp down low
please don't go
do you feel a flame that's burning
as the candle dies
do you see the spirits stirring
as you close your eyes
do you sense the slow advancement
as the twilight thins
do you see the serpent dancing
as he sheds his skin
turn the lamp down low
baby please don't go
does the sun renounce its kingdom
as the shadows fall
does a fool rejoice in wisdom
when the raven calls
do you embrace the dancing clayman
as he tears your flesh
do you hear the souls screaming
in the serpent's mesh
turn the lamp down low
please don't go
do you need the consolation
of a dead man's hand
as the tears of desolation
flood a dead man's land
do you seek your soul's redemption
under fervent skies
don't you see your own reflection
in the serpents eyes
8. Shadows On The Mountainside
we are spirits passing through the doors of timewith an invitation heard before we find
shadows on the mountainside
eagles find the souls they hide
and the outcast child enchanted by the sun
will he seek his shelter never knowing one
shadows on the mountainside
eagles find the souls they hide
shadows on the mountainside
cover me with sleep
'cause i need it now
and the rivers run to sees
and she will return to me
and then all that i am is in her hands
and i will return to her and then
i begin
9. Drawing Down The Moon
holding ononce again
take the time to look around
is it all in vain
can't you see
stay with me
i need you now
to stop the rains
but you won't know how it feels
until you've felt the same
can't you see
stay with me
don't let me down
stay with me
don't leave me now
stay with me
when darkness falls
it's all you'll see
don't let me down
stay with me
she's drawing down the moon
i can see it in her eyes
i think it's too soon
i think i heard her cry
she's drawing down the moon
i can see her walk away
i think it's too soon
can't she hear me when i say
tell me what you want
you gotta tell me what you want
don't let me down
stay with me
don't leave me now
stay with me
when darkness descends it's all we see
don't let me down
stay with me
10. Inanna
over the skies and sea my loveover the skies and sea
riding the crest of the winds above
bringing her back to be
into the moonlit sea my love
into the moonlit sea
riding the crest of the winds above
i'm begging you stay with me
would you walk ten miles with me my love
would you walk the skies with me
would you walk ten miles with me
Inanna
11. Coming Home
When frightened by changeSerenity clings to my sleave
And wonders remain
Their world will inherit its meek
So wicked's the taste
You feel when the mysteries arise
I've fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes
You don't know
So alone (x3)
And that's why I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home
And beauty's disdain
Attends to these virtuous lies
She tries to restrain
The ardent and amorous eyes
So wicked's the taste
You feel when the mysteries arise
I've fallen from grace
Because of her treacherous eyes
You don't know
So alone (x3)
And that's why I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's me now
She's me now
She's so alone
So alone
She's so alone
So alone
She's so alone
And that's why I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's me now
She's so alone
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
She's so alone
I'm coming home
12. Walk With Me
Tell me lady shining sunTo feel the warmth that comes undone
Do you sleep in sympathy
And if it's true
Walk with me
All of the while you were here
All of this time you were near
Come on lady walk with me
Come on lady talk to me
Can't you see I'm all alone
This loneliness I can't condone
Come on lady hold my hand
Take me to your shadowland
Sleep a while in sympathy
Come on lady walk with me
In the twilight of the idols speak
And in the twilight you'll always seek
A sentimental forgotten friend
Who will always love you
Until the end
All of the while you were here
All of this time you were near
Come on lady walk with me
Come on lady talk to me
Can't you see I'm all alone
This loneliness I can't condone
Come on lady hold my hand
Take me to your shadowland
Sleep a while in sympathy
Come on lady walk with me
And now you search for the ideals
You'll find a vice that always heals
The open wounds the bleeding hearts
And still they'll say
You're torn apart
All of the while I was here
All of this time I was near
Come on lady walk with me
Come on lady talk to me
Can't you see I'm all alone
Lonliness I can't condone
Come on lady hold my hand
Take me to your shadowland
Sleep a while in sympathy
Come on lady walk with me
(x2)
THE EDGES OF TWIGHLIGHT
(spoken word performance by Roy harper from the "hidden" track after Walk With Me)
As you draw near
I hear
The mutter of the worried earth
The joyous girl,
The crystal clear
Deliver us of our poor hearts
From naked fear
As you draw near
As you draw near
I feel the goddess,
Her celestial birth
The fullness of a love so real
The twilight of the god in me
Glows in my tear
As we draw near
...As we draw near
