A sigh for you rides the wind
A cry for you rides the wind
Seeking a world of ten thousand years
A thousand tears I cry
A sigh for you sails the sea
A cry for you sails the sea
Ghost ships that ride on the haunted deep
In passion's sleep I
Drown in the tears of my brokenness
Then my love walks on the sea
Of my sorrow
A sigh for you breaks my heart
A cry for you breaks my heart
Heaven to heal every misery
Each memory - I'm
Lost in a maze of my fallenness
'Til my love is slain on a tree
Casting my shadow
A sigh for you rides the wind
A cry for you rides the wind
Seeking a world of ten thousand years
A thousand tears I cry (I would die for you)
A sigh for you
A sigh for you
A sigh for you rides the wind

"The pool is very deep and cool
and nothing here is hard to do
Nothing that should trouble you"
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass this wanderer by
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Foamy blanket river beds
Chorus:
I stand, stand by the water, knee deep
Deep in the fountain, now down, I go under
Then rise up, rise up forever
The waves that mount and tumble high
I meet the melancholy sky
And all I have I count for loss
There in the clouds one single cross
Repeat chorus
"Yes, deeply I have slept
And now I rise as one who has gone down
Into the well springs of new life
Down across the milk white sands
I wade out into the sleepy cove
And bathe in the holy stream
Then suddenly
I shatter the level mirror of the lake
Repeat chorus
Upon an everlasting tide
Into the silent pool I glide
I plunge to wash this black heart clean
And rise a swan upon the wing
Repeat chorus

Sleep, silent child, steal away (You sigh)
In starry fields you wander there
Another bright heart in God's embrace
The dazzling breathing dream
The silent searching flight
Gave you the strength, at last
To live in light, I kiss your lips goodnight
Sleep, silent child, peace, be still (Be still)
Your ears have heard the Holy word
Beyond the dark world's fiery end
The time has come to leave
These distant rims of time
Forgotten days and nights
Of clocks and chimes, I kiss your soul divine
Sleep, silent child
"Sleep silent child
Depart to the Sovereign of your heart
Draw back blue curtains of sky and fly, fly!"
Sleep, silent child, steal away (You sigh)
In starry fields you wander there
Another bright heart in God's embrace
The dazzling breathing dream
The silent searching flight
Gave you the strength, at last
To live in light, I kiss your lips goodnight
Sleep, silent child

Neverland, you pay your money
They stamp your hand, Paradise
Dance on thin ice
Soul to soul, won't see the sun again
Once they dance the Neverland Ballroom
Hearts on fire, don't see the flames begin
Down at the Neverland Ballroom
Abaton, something Shining, something wrong
Shangri-La, mirage, she's gone
Dust to dust, never seen alive again
Once they dance the Neverland Ballroom
Blind desire, the sleep walk never ends
Down at the Neverland Ballroom
Neverland, Neverland
They've got surprises! They've got plans!
Down at the Neverland, down at the Neverland Ballroom
Paradise, Paradise
Dancing cheek to cheek, and cold as ice
Down at the Neverland, down at the Neverland Ballroom
Soul to soul, won't see the sun again
Once they dance the Neverland Ballroom
Hearts on fire, don't see the flames begin
Down at the Neverland Ballroom
Neverland, Neverland
Neverland, Neverland
Won't see the sun again
Once they dance the Neverland Ballroom

You were always inclined to fall down on your knees
"Yes I am always praying through my vanities"
What was doubt in you has lost a Holy war
"What is faith in me has conquered all my world"
Chorus:
Good choice? Bad choice? Strong points? Weak points?
Strong heart? Weak will? Sound mind? Time will tell you.
Good choice? Bad choice? Strong points? Weak points?
Choices crowd your mind. Strong heart? Weak will?
And still time compels you, within these lines
to read the signs, you will find the truth
You were always talking 'bout some paradise
"Yes I am always thinking 'bout the afterlife"
What was hope in you is now your everything
"What was born in me is now a living thing"
(Chorus)
Good choice? Bad choice? Strong points? Weak points?
Strong heart? Weak will? Sound mind? Time will tell.
Strong heart? Weak will? Sound mind? Time will tell you.
Good choice? Bad choice? Strong points? Weak points?
Choices crowd your mind. Strong heart? Weak will?
And still time compels you within these lines
to read the signs, you will find the truth
You were always inclined to fall down on your knees
"Yes I am always praying through my vanities"
What was doubt in you has lost a Holy war
"What is faith in me has conquered all my world"

Dad:
"And so the angel told Tom if he'd be a good boy
He'd have God for his father and never lack joy.
Goodnight, Tom, sleep tight, Tom."
These are not deeds that save you
For love is the fire that must claim you
Whispered half-prayers in the night
Turn off the lamp and you turn out the light
Narrator on film:
Tom remembers to wash his hands
before meals and to brush his teeth at least three
times a day while cutting down on in-between-meal snacks."
Story book pages' rustling cease
At clock's last chime the locks released
And silence beats his silent drum
Space, with gaunt eyes, bids you come
Here is the cure to avail you
God nailed on a tree to replace you
Eclipsing the luster of light
Thoughts that are dark as the darkest night
Narrator on film:
Tom knows that proper grooming
is the by-product of a healthy attitude and high
moral fiber. Tom likes people, and people like Tom."
These are your drowsy days in vain
You will not wake to sleep again
Will come the hour when you will never
Sleep again but wake forever
Boys on detention, pay close attention
To sound instruction, through film.
Boys on detention, pay close attention
To sound instruction, through film. Hey!
These are not deeds that save you
For love is the fire that must claim you
Whispered half-prayers in the night
Turn off the lamp and you turn out the light
Narrator on film:
Tom is polite to classmates and teachers,
"Please" and "Thank you" says Tom with a smile!"
Boys on detention, pay close attention
To sound instruction, through film...

When Moonlight Sleeps (On the
Frosted Hill)
Yes, I will be your priest and build a Holy fane
In untrodden regions of my heart unclaimed
And in the very midst of this quietness
Imaginary sanctuary will I dress
Chorus:
When moonlight sleeps on the frosted hill
I see your love come dance in the misty vale
At your gentle pass I go remembering
About the fragrant woods, of every vanished spring
Let me be your choir, let me be your own
And you, the heart's desire, fill my heart alone
I search the dreamy night
In faithfulness I stop to rest
And light the light
(Chorus)
My love says "Rise, my love
And come away,
Your home is in the moonlight
Mine's in another day"
So I launch out on the tide
Across the unknown sea
My love calls to me
Calls to me
Calls to me
Calls to me
I follow
Yes, I will be your priest and build a Holy fane
In untrodden regions of my heart unclaimed
And in the very midst of this quietness
Imaginary sanctuary will I dress
(Chorus)

Familiar scene, no dream, I look
'Cross hills of green and woodland brook
Then, pulse for pulse
The Will speaks soft and low
On waves of joy the sweet and tearful flow
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
I am taken up
I am shaken up (sudden heaven)
Where the angels praise
In the brilliant daze (sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Black map of woe, dark hungry night
Here in my soul I stop the flight
The ivy taps upon the window pane
I won't resist the One who calls again
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
Bliss too great to tell
Bright with miracle (sudden heaven)
As it would ever be
Safe, forever free (sudden heaven)
Sudden heaven has blazed on me
My Lord, how long will heaven keep
The days beyond the midnight sleep?
Sudden heaven has blazed on me, yeah
Sudden heaven has blazed on me, yeah
Blazed on me, yeah

His eyes, make pictures when they close
He follows, pure breezes where they blow
The earth and ocean seem to sleep
In one another's arms and dream
He does not fear this haunted keep
But swims the shimmery boundless stream
Chorus:
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
Shadow catcher
His hands, turn shadows into gold
Three wonders, the spirit wind unfolds
Shapes that haunt thought's wilderness
These are the world's rejected guests
Glass darkly shades the final rest
Still He will surely past this test
(Chorus)
Here the wind will sigh and weep
And all the world is drowned in sleep
Yet His eyes do watch and keep
And the Spirit guides his feet, shadow
He prays, the Lamb of God descends
He seeks, a kingdom without end
Comes the hour of his distress
When temptations do oppress
But each sin he does confess
Embracing now his Unseen Guest
Shadow catcher

Leaves of sound are shed they fall
On this murmuring mind
Where the lullabies call
And from these words I sink and fall
To the beautiful one
Behold this dreamer
In the arms of the beautiful one
Deep waters sound, who loves that deep?
I make my way
Up the toilsome steep
In green meadows now I sleep
In the beautiful one
Behold this dreamer
In the arms of the beautiful one
And in the wind a song
And moonlight on the lawn
Draws me on, and on
And thru the day a sigh
For dreamers such as I
Who steal away
To watch and pray
