Paroles

Find The Day
(c) Mick Hart

I feel your pain
Can't see the hope in this day
No one to touch
How does it end up this way?

When it goes so slow
and you feel let down again
Reach for a flickering light
Or a sweet silent hand
You'll find the day again

I feel the darkness
In shadows that murmur disguise
Solace forsaken
When did you shut down your mind?

Does it feel so low
With winter your only friend?
Reach for the comforting touch
Of a warm flowered bed
You'll find the day again

When it goes so slow
And you feel let down my friend
Reach for a shimmering light
Or a sweet silent hand
You'll find the day again
You'll find the day again

Don't let go

Mick Hart - voix, rhodes, guitare électrique, basse
Jerry Burcham - batterie

Silhouette
(c) Mick Hart

Hope it's enough
Faith the only medicine
But it's so running out

Help me now
So in disarray
And i can't spell it out
Spell it out

You so inside yourself
Way way way way above it all
And i don't comprehend
Comprehend

Not like it's supposed to be

Sweet graceful sun
Come down down down
Way inside of this
And paint a smiling silhouette

Not like it's supposed to be

Hope it's enough
No nothing's understood
And i'm so running out

Sweet graceful sun
Come down down down
Way inside of this
And paint a smiling silhouette

Paint a smiling silhouette
Embrace me with your innocence
Be my shining silhouette

Sunlight
(c) Mick Hart

Caught up in a storm that just keeps going
Locked into a rage and overblowing
Wondering how it all just got
Itself so wrong?

Aching for a need to feed my senses
All that i can taste is so defenseless
Freedom is the only road i want to find

But it feels like nothing
Caught in the dead night
Give me something
Show me some sunlight
Give me some sunlight
Show me some sunlight

Holding to a dream forever breathing
Wrapped up in a world deceiving
Hoping there's a better way
Somewhere sometime?

Drowning in a sea of lost direction
Praying for a deeper soul redemption
Knowing there's a devil
Stirring with my mind

And it feels like nothing
Caught in the dead night
Give me something
Show me some sunlight
Give me some sunlight
Show me some sunlight

Mick Hart - voix, lapsteel
Jerry Burcham - batterie
Guy Mansfield - basse

Sweet Consequence
(c) Mick Hart

Morning breath awakes me to a peaceful glow
As outside nakedness reminds me
Sweet consequence
Your face is calling

Hello day
Beautiful friend
You are not alone
You are not alone, not alone

Mystical light above me whispering in haste
While all the while my mind is floating
Sweet escape
Your face is calling, your face is calling

Hello day
Beautiful friend
You are not alone, not alone
You are not alone, not alone, not alone

Memories haunting
Static overtime
Change is coming
Leave the weight behind
Leave the weight behind

Hello day
Beautiful friend
You are not alone, not alone
You are not alone, not alone, not alone

Your face is calling

If You Could
(c) Mick Hart

If you could write a thought inside of me
If you could whisper truth what would it be?
If you could take it back, the meaningless charade
That so divides, that so divides

Hold your tears before you drown
Too late to change don't cry so loud
Let go your pain, let go your pain
I'm not around

Taken my soul with you or did you know?
Shallow belief instead a braver glow
If you could get it back so safely in your grasp
Like tenderness, like tenderness

Hold your tears before you drown
Too late to change don't cry so loud
Let go your pain, let go your pain
I'm not around

If you could write a thought what would it be?

Mick Hart - voix, rhodes, guitare acoustique et électrique, basse

Nothingness

(c) Mick Hart

Static trash like reflex
And i'm nowhere around
Running out of my mind
I'm a melting mound

It's gonna take an ocean
Gonna take an ocean
Gonna take an ocean
To lift me up

I'm in nothingness
Numb in nothingness

Can't escape emotion
But can't feel it all the same
Underdone existence
Such a losing game

Gotta find a better way
Gotta find a better way
Gotta find a better way
To get me some

I'm in nothingness
Numb in nothingness

It's gonna take an ocean
Gonna take an ocean
To get me some

I'm in nothingness
Numb in nothingness

Face In The Water

(c) Mick Hart

I'm here today
You know i'm not pretending
Graceful in silence
Could it be that i've been faking?

So for too long, so for too long
So for too long
And i'm not together enough to pull it in

Lease, please, please don't leave me this
Don't you miss me even for something?

Still so alone
I feel your breath is calling
Lost in your mirror
This love is not that sacred

No more no love, no more no luck
No more no love
But still can't gravitate to anything else

Please, please, please don't leave me this
Don't you miss me even for something?

Drift off in sleep as it stretches by
For a little change
But never enough

Face in the water
Sometimes it's good looking in
Floating on empty
Today was drifting...

So so far down, wished i could drown
Wished i could drown
But i'm not together enough to pull it off

Please, please, please don't leave me this
Don't you miss me even for something?

Don't drown
Don't drown

Please, please, please don't leave me this

Goodnight

(c) Mick Hart

Help i'm falling
In silent haze below
Help i'm floating
Into invisible

Into indifference
As answers readily deny

Can't escape this energy
Can't escape this energy
In this goodnight

Lost in pure perfection
Spinning to nowhere known
Safe in isolation
Inside an afterglow

Into indifference
Is this the inner light?

Can't escape this energy
Can't escape this energy
In this goodnight
In this goodnight
This is goodnight

Mick Hart - voix, guitare acoustique, dobro

Acceptance

(c) Mick Hart

I know everything
I feel everything
I see you again
I know everything

What's in your way?
What's in your way this time?
What does this day
What does this day reveal for you?
I see you crying
I see you disappearing from view
No use in hiding
Your bitterness paints a trail

I know everything
I see everything
I feel everything is coming down
Coming down on you

I see you again
Trying to pretend
Anger never ends
It's showing now, showing now

What to believe
Trying to cling to acceptance
Anxiety
Such an annoying existence
Walking so slowly
But walking by yourself
Can sometimes be a gratious thing
Pale emotion
But i know your pain, i know i know

I know everything
Isee everything...

You'll never wake up

What to believe
What to perceive
What's in your head?

I know everything
I see everything...

You'll never wake up

Low

(c) Mick Hart

You give you my name
I'll give you my number yeah
Right now i know know know
Well you can love me anytime

It gets in my head
Taking me under
Right now i think i'll be better off
Better off, better off, better off, better off

Low low low low taking me

It gets in my head
Taking me under yeah
Right now i know know know
Well you can love me anytime

It gets in my head
Taking me under
Right now i think i'll be better off
Better off, better off, better off, better off

Low low low low taking me

It gets in my head

Wait For Me
(For Bill Hart)
(c) Mick Hart

On the day you went away
In deep despair I lost my light
I never really came to terms
With what I did and did not say

I didn't see you go
Didn't want to know
I thought I knew you well
I wish I could have held your hand

So do you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you find me then?
Is it too late?

Drifting in and out of consciousness
But not at peace
Guiding me in ways beyond my selfish needs
You always felt so real

Why did you have to go?
Still don't really know
I thought I knew you well
I wish for you to understand

So do you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you find me when?
Is it too late?

Wait for me
Wait for me

Come to me
Come with me
Comfort me
Wait for me

It's Alright
(c) Mick Hart

Here comes the light
Its happening
Here comes the light
Don’t change a thing

Wondering in between
Parallel somewhere dream
Peaceful sleep peaceful nest
It’s ok come inside
It’s alright, it's alright

Here comes the light…

Stay within in between
Parallel somewhere dream
Underneath underdone
No reveal where it's from
Peaceful sleep peaceful nest
Comforting in stillness
It’s ok come inside
It’s alright, it's alright

Here comes the light
Here comes the light
Here comes the light
Don’t change a thing

Which way?
(c) Mick Hart

So far away
Cradling faith again
Freedom at fingertips
Which way?

Drifting in circles
Like floating in space
Time ticking slowly
Which way?

And I see the...
Demons crawling round my face
I can do without the taste

Lost in the maze again
Where do I go?

I’m at the strangest place
Tempted by wines of desire
Treading in tenderness
Which way?
I’m not alone
Voices from above do confuse me so
Is my time coming?
Which way?

And I see the...
Demons crawling round my face
I can do without the taste

Lost in the maze again
Where do I go?

Which way?

Save me

Jerry Burcham - batterie

Reach me
(c) Mick Hart

Blissful thoughts evade me now
Beaming sunlight brightly blinds my eyes
Soft wind blowing, cool and gentle
Still I’m lathered in sweat

I see a smile blessed with sweetness
Still I have to hide
I can't seem to climb these steps
Can’t get off this ride

Sinking low
Darkest hole

Reach me

Poison though ugly has such a seductive nature
And so it cradles me like a tiny child
I long for the freedom of an empty page
Too hopelessly lost to see a beginning

Sinking low
Darkest hole

Reach me

Mick Hart - voix, guitare acoustique
