Wide Awake in America

Bad (live)

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desparation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

A Sort Of Homecoming (live)

And you know it's time to go
through the sleet and driving snow
across the fields of mourning to a
light that's in the distance

And you hunger for the time
time to heal 'desire', time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape

Oh oh on borderland we run
and still we run, we run and don't look back
I'll be there, I'll be there
tonight, a highroad, a highroad out of here

the city walls are all come down
the dust a smokescreen all around see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance

And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated suffocated
the land grows weary of its own

(O coma way o coma wa o coma o coma way say I)

oh oh on borderland we run
and still we run, we run and don't look back
tonight, tonight

(O coma way o coma wa o coma o coma way say I)

The wind will crack in wintertime
a bomb-blast lightning waltz
no spoken words, just a scream...

tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
see the sky the burning rain
she will die an live again
tonight

And your heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of mourning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
I am coming home
I am coming home

The Three Sunrises

Spirit of the rising sun lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall
Love me till I die, my heart won't wait
Soon I will be down in this love song

In this love, love song
In this love. love song
Hey hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

It's a love song, love
Love, love song...

Sunshine, sunshine on me
Sunshine, sunshine on me
In this love, love song
Hey hey, love won't find
Finf its own way home

In this love song
Love song, love song
Sunshine, sunshine on me
Bring it through to my home
I will give you everything
I will give you my desire
Love song, love song

Love Comes Tumbling

Love don't need to find a way,
You'll find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that all roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are

She is ??? ???
For you, a virgin bride
And yourself in someone else
Don't find yourself in me

I can't live to love again
Love comes tumbling down again

Love don't need to find a way,
You'll find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that all roads lead to where you are
All roads lead to where you are
