The Astronomer
He spins
and turns the globe
with sleepy eyes
he reads alone
looks through his lens
observes the stars
wonders what
what you are
No one believes
what he believes
studies apart
sees what he sees
looks through his lens
watches the stars
wonders when
when he'll go that far
what what will he find
must he look so hard
pane to lean upon
through his glass one sees so far
Come over please
my side this once
take one small look
see what I see
you might like this
view of mine
beautifully sad
tortured but sweet
What what will he find
must he look so hard
pane to lean upon
through his glass one sees so far

We Are the Lonely
When I fall
And nobody is there to lift me
I wonder if I still believe
we are all meant to be
loved
loved
I wonder if I still believe
We are all meant to be
Loved
give me love
give me pain
give me your sun
give me rain
give me your look
give me your sigh
give me your garbage
and your goodbye
give me indifference
give me your pride
give me looooooove
We are the lonely
We swing on swings that no one pushes
We hide in crowds behind the bushes
The fearful ones that dance in shadows
Glinpses of you
Through drapes made out of hearts so hungry
My eyes are bright with hope and wonder
you can never see them or
see me
When I fall
And nobody is there to lift me
I wonder if I still believe
we are all meant to be
loved

The Myth

The Myth
A tapestry of her tragedy
A picture of a thousand words
She showed the queen
That he'd been mean
Lies of her death
Were absurd
She wove the truth
Of her stolen youth
The queen saw all
That had ocurred
He seized the girl
Cut out her tongue
Philomena's wings clipped
Like a bird
He'll always blame her
For his fury
For his fear
He'll always blame her
Hurt the one
You hold so dear
He shut her up
And locked the door
Pretend her screams
Could not be heard
Releaseing gloom
Her listening loom
A way to speak
She much preferred
She had to tell
Without a tongue
She'd show the wrongs
Without a word
Once a girl
And now reborn
Finally
Her story heard
He'll always blame her
For his fury
For his fear
He'll always blame her
Hurt the one
You hold so dear
So near
My dear

Out of the Dark

Out of the Dark
Cement is not a place for growing flowers
No shelter means no water means no power
The boy who killed the farmer needs forgiveness
He cries because he thinks that God now loves him less
He thought he’d never find a friend
He thought he’d never laugh again
But life can find its way out of the dark
Life can find its way out of the dark
His life was nothing he could try and mend
It seemed as though he’d reached his very end
He found the sound of angels in the night
They played upon the blocks with all their might
He thought he’d never find a friend
He thought he’d never laugh again
But life can find its way out of the dark
Life can find its way out of the dark
They taught him sounds far lovlier and still
Than weeping wives and angry men that kill
Civil’s not so civil anymore
Not when trying to dance above a war
He thought he’d never find a friend
He thought he’d never laugh again
But life can find it’s way out of the dark
life can find its way out of the dark
life can find its way out of the dark
Life can find its way out of the dark
life can find its way out of the dark

The Laughing Man

The Laughing Man
When he was boy
He sat in the back
And hid behind
His smiles
His hands were clasped
His back was straight
His feelings kept
In files
And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep
Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep
The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody see him weep
He lived by the lake
Alone with his dog
In his dirty yellow house
He wrote in his book
In his tall thinking tree
He'd write and write for hours
And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep
Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep
The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep
He ran through the fields
Through the thorns and the mud
And kept his world from worry
He'd clean all his cuts
By the rock on the shore
He never told his story
And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep
Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep
The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep
