Time ’til I Die

I wanna know
Just how you grow
I wanna know
Just how to let go

Wrapped up in blankets
I’ll settle for nothing less
With time ’til I die
I have no need to impress

I wanna feel
The real life of another
I wanna feel
Set right down in the gutter

I wanna see
The landlord’s fine clothes
I wanna see
The dirt stains upon his cloak

Wrapped up in blankets
I have no need to impress
With time ’til I die
I’ll settle for nothing less
Wrapped up in blankets
With little to impress
And time ’til I die
… time ’til I die

My Soul Sins

How many times do I have to start
to shed my skin
How many times do I break my own heart
can you never win
I’m kept waiting
I’m kept waiting
and my soul sins

How many times I unveil these plans
to be dressed by man
How many times must I shake your hand
respect the land
I’m kept waiting
I’m kept waiting
and my soul sins

How many times do I have to cry
through bloodshot eyes
How many times do I stand upright
tripped up by lies
I’m kept waiting
I’m kept waiting
and my soul sins

All men bow down to thee
all men come weep to thee
all men will come learn and see
my soul sins

Who Sent You Away

Darling, in time you can hold yourself
learn to bide your time
all the forces that have set you afar
can but ease the climb

Who sent you away
who floated the torch in the water
gave you a world to discover
darling, who gave you the right to decide
where your love’s to hide

In a moment, in the passing of a lie
two to one we blend
you bled the peasant boy, you muted his cries
these crimes you can’t defend

Been crawlin’ away from you
you came too soon
been hiding away from you
but you’ll always rule

…darling who gave you the right to deny….
…all our love could find….

Run

I don’t mind thinkin’ of you
you changed my ways, saw me through
filled my days, then I grew
angel

Your carefree birds fly in my sky now
laughing, singing, breathing, I wonder how
and the air’s so much fresher now
you’re an angel

Run
oh, run to me
run, child
be safe with me
run
come to me
in the skies, we’ll be free

If I wanted you, would you play the part
set the stage for my dream-ridden heart
and if I doubt you, would we fall apart
you’re an angel

Your tin-can-man’s here now
the mad hatter, with the dancing eyes
exchanging gratitudes
he can’t tell no lies
he won’t tell no lies

…in disguise, we’ll be free….
