There is no wisdom
there is no peace
there is no dream
only sleep

 






There is no wisdom
there is no peace
there is no dream
only sleep

a poet and writer
a drunk and saint
a girl of the evening
a parting of hearts
share in last call
hand of love
so it goes

If you see me coming
You know I will lie
My past is a gift
Once just an alibi

I heard the night wind
as the whistle blew
A tribute to the world
I once knew

Upon a pillow lay her head
Words of longing said
Ashes to ashes
Love to love
Heartache
Dead is the dove


I found her in the wisdom of words
I could write
Lover of wisdom
body to hold tight

Sold the stories for the love she hides
Wander the rivers seeking foolish pride

Bridges burn before me
Trouble leads the way

Heart oh heart
what have you done
Run oh feet run

Water turns the wave
Slave of freedom
Must walk away

In the corner of the box
a picture lays
A tribute to the love
I let
get away

See the stars falling
Hear the echo call

Love of soul mate
Still lives
just down the hall

Every comfort has gone
Mind searches for the love
I once owned

Fingers of fingers
Where is the gold
Ring is turned green
As the black of my soul

Some live in honor
Some live in shame
Some just wander
Some just remain

Heart oh heart
what have you done
Three children come
Watch the tree grow
Angels in answer
Marks in snow

Lonely is the day
Passion and nights
Have all passed away
Close the book in write

Sleep oh sleep
My heart this night
The three pieces of life
Have gone by

I heard the night wind
as the whistle blew
A tribute
to the world
I had you

If you see me coming
You know I will lie
My past is a gift
Once just an alibi
