Not Forever

The sun will sink away for the moon to take her place
Always, but not forever
The heart will pass through clouds of thunder rain and mystery
Always, but not forever
The voice that gives a melody will fade away to silence
Always, but not forever
Beauty flourishes only to fade, and disappears without a trace
Always, but not forever
Moods change go up and down, all around, they keep us bound
Always, but not forever
Passions grow 'till courage fails, subdued by all the mind entails
Always, but not forever
Though it linger, wait
It will certainly come and not delay
He put hereafter in the hearts of men
It will certainly come and not delay
To dust we all return to dust and what has been will be no more
Always, but not forever
Ramshackle body for the soul to live in, fixed in time and space
Always, but not forever
Desire wears out like a cloth but then it never fits the same for both
Always, but not forever
Though it linger, wait
It will certainly come and not delay
He put hereafter in the hearts of men
It will certainly come and not delay
I'd better learn how to deal with freedom
before eternity comes my way
Find the former on the threshold of the latter
as you remember there's but one Door to enter
Wait
It will certainly come and not delay
He put hereafter in the hearts of men
It will certainly come and not delay

The leaves, I know I saw them crying
The trees, altogether sighing
And the ground breathed its last
after swallowing our past
On the day of your depart
I didn't have the heart
To say the words lying on my tongue
to burst into a song about the place where you belong
Now it hurts to know that I was wrong
with blind eyes all along
I must keep holding on
to the knowledge that the sun is rising behind my back
My hands, I know I felt them trembling
my back, aching as it's bending
And the twilight disappears
as an answer to my fears
Kills the hope without a sound
If I'd only turn around
To see a new day dawning
the trees together yawning
They urge me to awake
say the future is at stake
I hear a voice say "darling,
keep your heart from hardening
See the view that I can make,
the light is yours to take"
and I turned around and saw the sun rising behind my back

Waiting Room

Now take the fury
leave the passion aside to keep our safety guaranteed
Instead place next to it
the brilliant sound of laughter to melt it
And there'll be light in the waiting room
All in the waiting room
I can smell the music from up here
I'm coming down with my heart held high
All the different fragrances in the far away waiting room
coming together as one
Open up the gate, let me witness the feast
of the scents that fly into the endless combinations
'till one is elected to form a song
Carry down the colours
of yellow, blue and red
Black and white already present
we have everything we need
If any colour's missing we'll use new sounds instead
Now who is ready to play the game of endless combination
with all that we find in the waiting room
I can smell the music from up here
I'm coming down with my heart held high
All the different fragrances in the far away waiting room
coming together as one
Open up the gate, let me witness the feast
of the scents that fly into the endless combinations
'till one is elected to form a song

With nothing we came And with that we built a house So high that its shoulders Now proudly tower above the crowds We paved the streets with wisdom From north, south, west and east On these our children will march to war Or stroll forever in joyful peace Hey, we're a city full of strangers All people on their own We've come and flocked together And now we are at home We bring the seeds of memory To be planted in a garden green Many more stories high they grow And hold a secret rarely seen There are some dwelling up there Moving in their quarters Finding existence in the trees that we speak In the forest that grows from our hearts Hey, we're a city full of strangers All people on their own We've come and flocked together And now we are at home Words came with power but the rain was stronger And washed them away, let me stand on the edge As the clouds break open, my eyes they open In walks the light that gives birth to the day It's the light we all drink, we all drink from the same It's the water that pours on each one like rain It's the pleasure of love but not without pain Or we turn it around and it turns into shame There's the master and servant, existing today In the alleys of one hundred nights on the way There's the getting lost in what's needless to say So let's leave it unsaid and decide to stay... …in a city full of strangers All people on their own We've come and flocked together And now we are at home
