cOME uNDONE

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you.
Signed with a
home tatoo, Happy Birthday to You
was created for you
Can't ever
keep from falling apart
at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
to pieces?
Oh it'll take time.
might take a little crime.
to come undone
now
We'll try to stay blind to the hope
and fear outside.
Hey child stay
wilder
than the wind
and blow me in to cry...
who do you need, who
do you love
When you come undone?
words, playingme deja vu,
like a radio tune
I swear I've heard before.
Chill, is it something
real or the magic I'm feeding
off your fingers
Can't ever keep
from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe your taking my
heart to pieces?
Lost in a snow filled sky we'll make it alright
to come undone now...
We'll try to stay blind to the
hope and fear outside.
Hey child stay wilder than
the
wind
and blow me in to cry...
who do you need,
who do you love
When you come undone?


- Duran Duran Wedding Album, 1993

Sounds Of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend - I've come to talk to you again - Because a vision softly creeping - left its seeds while I was sleeping - And the vision that was planted in my brain - still remains - within the sound of Silence. In restless dreams I walked alone - Narrow streets of cobblestone - 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp - I turned my collar to the cold and damp - When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, that split the night, and touched the sound of Silence And in the naked light I saw 10,000 people, maybe more - Hearing without listening - People writing songs that voices never share and no one dare - Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools," said I, "you do not know. Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words, like silent raindrops fell - and echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made and the sign flashed out its warning - in the words that it was forming - and the sign said "the words of the prophet are written on the subway walls - and tenement halls," and whispered in the sounds of Silence.


- Simon & Garfunkel

All I Ask

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...

Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of sumertime...

Say you need me with you, now and always ...
promise me that all you say is true -
that's all I ask of you...

Let me be your shelter, let me be your light.
You're safe: No-one will find you -
your fears are far behind you...

All I want is freedom, a world with no more night...
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me...

Then say you'll share with me
one love, one lifetime...
let me lead you from your solitude...

Say you need me with you
here, beside you...
anywhere you go, let me go too -
that's all I ask of you...

Say you'll share with me one love,
one lifetime...
say the word and I will follow you...

Share each day with me,
each night, each morning...
Say you love me...
You know I do...
Love me -
that's all I ask of you...

Anywhere you go let me go too...
love me -
that's all I ask of you...

- Raoul, Vicompte de Chagny and Christine Daae

Think of Me

Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.

When you find
that, once again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought
for me...

We never said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me...

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been...

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying to hard
to put you from my mind.

Recall those days,
look back on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will never be
a day, when
I won't think of you...

We never said
our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but please promise me,
that sometimes,
you will think
of me!

Samain Night


When the moon on a cloud cast night
hung above the treetops height
you sang me a song of some distant past
that made my heart beat strong and fast
now I know I am home at last
You offered me an eagle's wing
that to the sun I might soar and sing
and if I heard the owl's cry
into the forest I would fly
and in its darkness find you by
and so our love's not a simple thing
nor our truths unwavering
but like the moon's pull on the tide
our fingers touch our hearts colide
I'll be a moonsbreath by your side.

- Loreena McKennitt
