Альбом Live

Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea
Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me

Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were better friends
So I let it go

Did you let it go?
Let's get it back
Let's get it back together

Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, and a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
means nothing at all to me today

He could have been telling me about my
higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now
And right here

Let it go!
Let it go!
Let it go, my friend
And let's get it back
Let's get it back together

I have never taken Life
Yet I have often paid the price
And you, you are a victim of this age
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage

You've got to learn to live until no end
But first you must learn to swim
All over again
Because

Pain lies on the riverside
And Pain will never say goodbye
Pain Lies on the Riverside
So put you feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
And join me for a swim tonight

I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life

I've got to learn to live until no end
But first I must learn to swim all
Over again,
Because

Pain lies on the Riverside

If I told you she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her
Some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dawn

The perception that divides you from her
Is a lie
For some reason we never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side

This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say the colors must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate

The beauty of gray

Look into your eyes
No daylight
New day now

and to love: a god 
and to fear: a flame 
and to burn a crowd that a name
and to right or wrong 
and to meek or strong 
it is known, just scream it from the wall

I've willed, I've walked, I've read 
I've talked, I know, I know, 
I've been here before

hey, now we won't be raped 
hey, now we won't be scarred like that

it's the sun that burns 
it's the wheel that turns
it's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
and to Christ: a cross 
and to me: a chair 
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here

it's easier not to be wise 
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes 
you'll need them, your boat is at sea 
your anchor is up, you've been swept away 
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

I alone love you 
I alone tempt you 
I alone love you 
fear is not the end of this!

it's easier not to be great 
and measure these things by your eyes
we long to be here by his resolve 
alone in the church by and by 
to cradle the baby in space 
and leave you there by yourself chained to fate

oh, now, we took it back too far, 
only love can save us now, 
all these riddles that you burn
all come runnin' back to you, 
all these rhythms that you hide 
only love can save us now, 
all these riddles that you burn yeah, yeah, yeah

lightning crashes, a new mother cries 
her placenta falls to the floor 
the angel opens her eyes 
the confusion sets in 
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies 
her intentions fall to the floor 
the angel closes her eyes 
the confusion that was hers 
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again 
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind 
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it

lightning crashes, a new mother cries 
this moment she's been waiting for 
the angel opens her eyes 
pale blue colored iris, 
presents the circle 
and puts the glory out to hide, hide

Barbara Lewis (1973-1993)

our love is like water 
pinned down and abused for being strange
our love is no other 
than me alone for me all day 
our love is like water/angels pinned down and abused

all over you, all over me 
the sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold 
the sea the sun, the fields, the tide 
pay me now, 
lay me down

warm bodies, I sense 
are not machines that can only make money 
past, perfect, tense
words for a feeling and all I've discovered 
I'll be along son with medicine supposed to, 
designed to make you high
I'll be along son 
with words for a feeling and all I've discovered

old, bad eyes 
old, bad eyes 
old, bad eyes

on loneliness comes 
go see the foreman, go see the profiteer 
on loneliness drives 
we're takin' our time movin' shit for this holy slime

old, bad eyes 
old, bad eyes 
old, bad eyes, almighty fear

the shepherd won't leave me alone 
he's in my face and I 
the shepherd of my days 
and I want you here by my heart and my head, 
I can't start till I'm dead 

Background Lyrics:
here I am locking horns with the stallion
failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down
cheaper than all souls he will walk upon
deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
cheaper than all souls he will walk upon
pillar of davidson feeling to hard to go down

Don't you feel so very pointless
In the feelings of the rain
And the violence of the sun
I must confess that I feel graciously
Bigger than the rain
And hotter than the sun
What did you do
What do you say
When the blood spilled is of your loved one
And the kremlins of the world fall around you

We deal in dreams, yeah
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts

Oh fearful, crying people
The fool is by the river
Watching, but not swimming
It takes energy not to get used to it
And fall into this place
Where everything runs together and dies
This quiet kingdom she is now
Forever will she be, in silent celebration

We deal in dreams, yeah
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts, yeah
We deal in dreams
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts, yeah
We deal in dreams
We deal in dreams, silent silent dreams
Structures that grow cold
Structures that grow cold
Structures that grow cold in our hearts, yeah

Don't you feel so very pointless
In the feelings of the rain
And the violence of the sun

it was an evening I shared with the sun
to find out where we belong
from the earliest days
we were dancing in the shadows

more wine 
cuz I got to have it
more skin 
cuz I got to eat it

inside the outside
by the river
used to be so calm 
used to be so sane
I rushed the lady's room
took the water from the toilet 
washed her feet and blessed her name
more peace
is such a dirty habit

slow down, we're too afraid

let me ride 
let me ride 
burn my eyes
let me ride

anyone, caught in you mystery
keep it angry
keep it whispy
I've fallen down
drunk on your juices

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

funky temple
your dress is torn to shreds
your eyes are crazy
I bowed to save my head and
I can't forget you
but I remember

turn my head
turn my head
it's aimed at you

oh no,
we came to love you all day
these bastards are leavin'
somebody's go to stay
whatever we called you
it's just a name
just a name

The way you're bathed in light
Reminds me of that night
God laid me down into your rose garden of trust
And I was swept away
With nothin' left to say
Some helpless fool
Yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
You're all I need to find
So when the time is right
Come to me sweetly, come to me
Come to me

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Oh yeah, we meet again
It's like we never left
Time in between was just a dream
Did we leave this place?
This crazy fog surrounds me
You wrap your legs around me
All I can do to try and breathe
Let me breathe so that I
So we can go together!

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Life is like a shooting star
It don't matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
We are lost 'til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over

Over
Over
Singin' la da da, da da da
Over
Come to me
Singin' la da da da, da da da
Come to me

Oh desert speak to my heart
Oh woman of the earth
Maker of children who weep for love
Maker of this birth
'Til your deepest secrets are known to me
I will not be moved
I will not be moved

"Don't try to find the answer
When there ain't no question here
Brother let your heart be wounded
And give no mercy to your fear"

Adam and Eve live down the street from me
Babylon is every town
It's as crazy as it's ever been
Love's a stranger all around

In a moment we lost our minds here
And lay our spirit down
Today we lived a thousand years
All we have is now

Run to the water
And find me there
Burnt to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
These streets below the moon

And I will never leave you

'Til we can say,
"This world was just a dream
We were sleepin' now we are awake"
'Til we can say

In a moment we lost our minds here
And dreamt the world was round
A million mile fall from grace
Thank God we missed the ground

Run to the water
And find me there
Burnt to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Yeah, I can see it now lord
Out beyond all the breakin' of waves
And the tribulation
It's a place and the home of ascended souls
Who swam out there in love!

Run to the water
And find me there
Burnt to the core but not broken
We'll cut through the madness
Of these streets below the moon
With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts

Rest easy baby, rest easy
And recognize it all as light and rainbows
Smashed to smithereens and be happy
Run to the water (and find me there)
Run to the water

Sittin' on the beach
The island king of love
Deep in Fijian Seas
Deep in some blissful dream
Where the goddess finally sleeps
In the lap of her lover
Subdued in all her rage
And I'm aglow with the taste of the demons driven out
And happily replaced with the presence of real love
The only one who saves

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face

The stillness in your eyes
Convinces me that I
I don't know a thing
And I been around the world and I've tasted all the wines
A half a billion times came sickened to your shores
You show me what this life is for

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face

In this altered state
Full of so much pain and rage
You know we got to find a way to let it go

Sittin' on the beach
The island king of love
Deep in Fijian Seas
Deep in the heart of it all where the goddess finally sleeps
After eons of war and lifetimes
She smilin' and free, nothin' left
But a cracking voice and a song, oh lord

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
The karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
And lead us back to a world we would not face
We would not face
We would not face
We would not face
We would not face
We would not face

Even now, the world is bleedin' 
But feelin' just fine, all numb in our castle 
Where we're always free to choose 
Never free enough to find 
I wish somethin' would break 
'Cause we're runnin' out of time

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome 
Holy water in my lungs 
I am overcome

These women in the street pullin' out their hair 
My master's in the yard givin' light to the unaware 
This plastic little place is just a step amongst the stairs

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome

So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field 
Turn the ignition off 
And spin around 
Your help is here 
But I'm parked in this open space
Blockin' the gates of love

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah-yeah

I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, holy water, holy water
I am overcome

Beautiful drowning 
This beautiful drowning
This holy water 
This holy water 
Is in my lungs

And I am overcome 
I am overcome, yeah-yeah
And I, and I, and I am overcome

I was on a street with a common name 
I prayed for love, yeah, I even begged 
I had a vision of you that carried me through

Now it's just magic worlds in a shaman's dream
I fear no man, I fear no pain
I had a vision of you that carried me through

And nobody really knows what I would do for you 
And nobody really knows how much I love you 
Nobody really knows, nobody knows 
Nobody knows, nobody knows

I cleared my mind and I turned around
Grateful to the one who had laid me down 
I was silent in love, pourin' down from above

Like so much rain, it fell and pierced my brains 
The trees all alive with their colors, like the dreams of man
I had a vision of you that carried me through

And nobody really knows what I would do for you now 
Nobody really knows how much I love you, baby 
Nobody really knows, nobody knows 
Nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows, yeah

I was on a street, yeah, with a common name 
I prayed for love, oh baby, I even begged 
I had a vision of you that carried me through (carried me through)

And nobody really knows what I would do for you
(It's a secret revelation)
Nobody really knows how much I love you, babe
(It's a secret revelation)
Nobody really knows, nobody knows 
Nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows

Nobody knows, yeah

You don't need no friends
get back your faith again
you have the power to believe
another dissident
take back your evidence
it has no power to deceive

I'll believe it when I see it, for myself

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive

I sit with them all night
everything they say is right
but in the morning they were wrong
I'll be right by your side
come hell or water high
down any road you choose to roam

I'll believe it when I see it for myself

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive, yeah

darling, I believe, Oh Lord
sometimes it's hard to breathe, Lord
at the bottom of the sea, yeah yeah

I'll believe it when I see it for myself

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe.
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset
I can see the sunset
I can see the sunset
I don't need no one
Ohhhh
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
I don't need no one
To tell me about heaven
I believe
I believe it, yeah

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend" she said
And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love
I need your blissful touch to carry me away again
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...

Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory, but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend" she said
I'm like a posse that's been ridin' for days
I've got the scars to prove that love has had its day and it's way with me
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...

Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

This ain't no night to be on your own
You've got to know where you're coming from
To know just where you're goin', lord
You've got to know where you're coming from
This ain't no night to be on your own

Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care
I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care
Run away
Run away
Run away

(Johnny Cash cover)

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because your mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because your mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark, and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness alone proves that it's right
Because your mine, I walk the line

You got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Becuase your mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because your mine, I walk the line
Because your mine, I walk the line
Becuase your mine, I walk the line
