I can’t wait in vain for you
I have better things to do
Have to watch the garden grow
Make angels in the virgin snow
I can’t wait in vain for you
I have better things to do
You said goodbye, and please don’t cry
you would be back tomorrow
I told a lie when I said I’d try to
Contain my pain and my sorrow
I face the night, and I fear I might
forever be alone
I stare at the floor and believe I need more
Than the sun and the stars and the moon
I can’t wait in vain for you
I have better things to do
Have to watch the garden grow
Make angels in the virgin snow
I can’t wait in vain for you
I have better things to do
I waited some, my feelings numb
as I let my life slip by
But the midday sun, it made me come
To my senses and I cried
I tied my love to a blood-red balloon
And released it to the sky
Then I could see the fool that was me
And the pain that makes me wise
In the beauty of reality
I see that everything is me
I can never really be alone
In the beauty of reality
I see that everything is me
There will always be
better things

This is not a song for you
not for you not unless
you're deep dark down & blue
These are not the words for you
not for you not unless
you've lost your own way too
Please don't sing with me
if you are young and free
and you can hear the notes
in other than a minor key
I am often stifled
by the smallness of my voice
I long to rant & rave
misbehave, I long to let it out
But I don't know how
or what to do
I can only see
the deep dark down & blue
This I must confess to you
I love all things deep dark & blue
the sea, the sky, my lover’s eyes
bluebirds, bluebells & the blue inside

I see you coming down from the mountaintop
And I see things inside you that you cannot
Come be with me, believe in me
I want to show you things that you have never seen
I see you coming down from the mountaintop,
And I see things around you that you cannot
Come take my hand. It’s time to explore
Please understand that I can show you more
I see a brighter sun. I see a bluer sky
I see a greener tree. I see you and me
You’re the sun in my life, you shine on me
When my world is dark and I’m afraid and lonely
You show me what love’s supposed to be
You kiss my soul, communicate with me
I see a brighter sun. I see a bluer sky
I see a greener tree. I see you and me

My devastation is a revelation.
I didn’t expect this kind of pain
It’s quite a new sensation
Thought I could get through anything
Well I don’t feel bitter, twisted, or hurt
But a howl of frustration lurks
And it’s threatening to tear me to pieces
Still, but no peace for me
My delusion is a blanket, soft, worn
yet still warm
But no warning as it falls around me
I look around me, it surrounds me
Well, even a whisper could kill my resolve
To involve myself in living again
My emergence from delusion
Is an emergency of some urgency.
So here I stand still, more still, most still
Waiting for my will to go on
So here I stand still, more still, most still
I don’t even know what went wrong
And now I’m falling falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling down
I’m falling falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling down
And I find myself still breathing
I find myself brilliant
Such a breathtaking anomaly
To the anatomy of my pain

You live in a garden lost among your wants and weeds
Secretive and lonely, gathering your un-met needs
But you can’t see beyond the garden gate
That the sky is blue and there is one who waits
To love you only

Desire runs wild, makes my love crystal clear
Come a little closer, I am all that I appear.

We need a brand new story
And this time we do not fall from grace
We are not banished from the garden
Naked and in disgrace
In our new story, we are kings and queens
And we finally know what being human means
I want to love you in a different way
And I don’t care what other people say
If it doesn’t hurt, then it can’t be real
You know that isn’t how I feel
You must know that I can take
You as you are, without a break
The pain you think that you can’t handle I
hold it up to a lighted candle
And I will bathe your body
In a love so bright and strong
And I will burn you with that love
Until your pain is gone.
I cry tears from deep inside
Free from judgment and full of pride
Release your pain, release your fear
I cry for you my perfect tears
But you, my love, must let me see
The awful things that you can be.
I’ll bring them close and wash them clean
And show you what they really mean
That you are part of the human race
And all emotion has its place
My love for you is so immense
You’re now restored to innocence

I believed in fairytales
And the good guy always wins
And I believed that I was good
And that God would forgive my sin
But my life had its own life,
Led me into the unknown
And love forgot to meet me there
so now I am alone
I knew where I was going
until I reached the end
Then I found that I was lost
And had to begin again
In a maze, in a maze
In a maze of lonely passion
Passion known and passion spent
In a maze of lonely passion
I lost my innocence
Tell me what I’m longing for
What do I wish for now
And does the longing ever stop
and when and where and how
I know what being alone is
and living without love
My memories are burning low
and their warmth is not enough
I knew where I was going
until I reached the end
Then I found that I was lost
And had to begin again
In a maze, in a maze
In a maze of lonely passion
Passion known and passion spent
In a maze of lonely passion
I lost my innocence

When I imagine love A
nd wishes coming true
I imagine someone
Out there just like you
When I imagine love,
You slowly turn to see
A someone you’ve been longing for
A someone just like me
I see you in the distance.
I run but you have gone.
And I begin to doubt myself
Could my heart have been so wrong
When I imagine love
I feel you in my arms
I know my only wish will be
to keep you safe from harm
When I imagine love
Your words are sweet and clear
Every night I kiss your lips
By morn you disappear
I see you in the distance.
I run but you have gone.
And I begin to doubt myself
Could my heart have been so wrong
But now you’re standing here before me
And I can hardly breathe
Cause you’re nothing I imagined
And everything I believe
I’m drowning in an ocean
Of secrets and emotions
I don’t know how to feel
Make the love inside me real
‘Cause now you’re standing here before me
And I can hardly breathe
Cause you’re nothing I imagined,
And everything I believe.

Shall I let you lick the salt from my body
Shall I be the one to rub salt in your wounds
Shall I let you touch all my secret places
Shall I slap your face by the light of the moon
Harsh breath
roars like the wind
You want me so bad
it’s like committing a sin
A moment of pain is good for the soul
A moment of pleasure and you’re out of control
Shall I ease your pain with the pleasure at hand
Shall I bite your lips till you understand
Soft touch burns like a flame
You’re losing your soul
As you scream out my name
I might let you into
I might let you into
I might let you into
my Secret Garden
I might let you into
I might let you into
I might let you into
my Secret Garden
Harsh breath roars like the wind
You want me so bad
it’s like committing a sin
Soft touch burns like a flame
You’re losing your soul
As you scream out my name
I might let you into
I might let you into
I might let you into
my Secret Garden
I might let you into
I might let you into
I might let you into
my Secret Garden

As a little child, I was scared of the dark
As the wind grew wild and the lightning sparked
I’d run so fast to my sweet mother’s arms
She’d stroke my hair and calm my alarm
I’d turn to her with my questioning face
She’d laugh just so and tell me I was safe S
o many things that I wanted to know
How do the birds fly
Where do the stars go? She’d say
Every door has a key, every lie knows the truth
Do you want reality, are waiting for the proof
You got to grab that key you see
And turn it with both hands
You got to make it through the door
Before you’ll understand
The keys are the questions
they cannot be hidden
Like wild horses, they must be ridden
They must be asked, they must be answered
If you want more, you have to open the door
I grew in years, but not in emotion
I kept my fears and I kept my devotion to
Heartache and pain right through to the end
They weren’t in my interest, but they were my friends
There came a time my soul was in danger
She’d been asleep so long she was nearly a stranger
I grabbed her hand and cried
We got to run. We got to make it through the door
And leave this dungeon
Every door has a key, every lie knows the truth
Do you want reality, are waiting for the proof
You got to grab that key you see
And turn it with both hands
You got to make it through the door
Before you’ll understand
The keys are the questions
they cannot be hidden
Like wild horses, they must be ridden
They must be asked, they must be answered
If you want more, you have to open the door
