The Candles that Burned

you can call long distance, it's just not the same
all that old junk, next to those broken old games
stored with those failures, your old memories
tied with ribbons of forgive and forget
you bring it down, it's another year
you open the box, that ornament brings a tear
that one from baby brother, that one sis made for you
that one you hate but can't throw away
CHORUS
the quiet disappointments, and all those thrills
the fights, slamming doors and the ringing bells
the love, frustrations, the peace and the hope
the time you lost and the years gone by
regrets and doubts, and the days you cried
the things you lost and the ones who gained
Christmas's you learned
and Christmas's of pain
the candles that burned
and the promises, that
we all had a pressie shaker she could tell
what you were going to get by just looking at you
lying in bed - we tossed all through the night
waiting oh waiting for the first ray of light
that bike you always wanted, your first chemistry set
the candy you ate and the toys you would get
the time that you lost, and the holidays missed
the joy you had - those days of bliss
CHORUS
the quiet disappointments, and all those thrills
the fights, slamming doors and the ringing bells
the love, frustrations, the peace and the hope
the time you lost and the years gone by
regrets and doubts, and the days you cried
the things you lost and the ones who gained
Christmas's you learned
and Christmas's of pain
the candles that burned
and oh those .....
all of those years when there were fewer around
and all of those years when time did take its toll
oh the hungry years when the tree stood bare
the fruitful years - we had us a wishing chair
hey do you remember all those shining bells....
the trailer strung out with sparkling lights
you can call long distance, it don't feel the same
all that old junk and you were never to blame
CHORUS
the quiet disappointments, and all those thrills
the fights, slamming doors and the ringing bells
the love, frustrations, the peace and the hope
the time you lost and the years gone by
regrets and doubts, and the days you cried
the things you lost and the ones who gained
Christmas's you learned
and Christmas's of pain
the candles that burned
and the promises, that you made

Crux - The Hill

turning and turning in the widening gyre
the falcon cannot hear the falconer
things fall apart
the centre cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
the blood-dimmed tide is running free
everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned;
the best lack all conviction
the worst are full of passion
the darkness drops again but now I know
that twenty centuries of stony sleep
are now vexed to nightmare by your guns
turning and spinning in your circuit
the boy cannot hear the man
things fall together
the centre is breaking apart
my anarchy is loosed upon your world
the blood-dimmed tide spills over
everywhere the ceremony of me is waning
the best lack my conviction
the worst are full of greed
the darkness drops again but now I see
that twenty centuries of forgiveness
are now vexed to nightmare by my fear
turning and turning, encompass, envelop
the voice cannot hear the scream
things fall forward
the centre is collapsing
your anarchy is loosed upon me
the blood-dimmed tide drowns me
everywhere the ceremony of you is winning
the best lack the strength to resist
the worst are running your way
the darkness drops again but now I know
that twenty centuries of bliss
are now vexed to nightmare by your hate
ALWAYS AN EMPTY SPACE BEFORE ME
WHAT DRIVES ME ON IS WHAT I LEFT BEHIND
Storyline based on and inspired by "The Second Coming", William Butler Yeats (1865 - 1939). Vocal repeat inspired by "either/or", Soeren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855).
