here’s the house that held the good life here’s the house that held the nightmare that went on the damage done by strangers, as foretold I curse you, I hate you, we despise your arrival here’s the place that held all things true a shelter from the norm in this grey valley of time the damage done to strangers, as expected the tide comes in, savage, like waves of concrete all those caged birds here to rule us, desperate we knew they were coming this is the nothing they all bring, the emptiness we knew it was coming ugly cities and dead small towns, wastelands we knew they were coming like flies, like bees, like fire surrounding everything beautiful reach out to the night sky, but the moon hates you and I hate you so much, retaliation we knew they were coming a different salt in their blood, and we knew, we just knew we knew they were coming here’s the house that held the nightmare that went on

Here on these cliffs of Dover so high you can't see over and while your head is spinning hold tight it's just beginning you come from parents' wanton a childhood rough and rotten I come from wealth and beauty untouched by work or duty and oh, my love, my love. and oh, my love, my love. We both go down together. I found you, a tattooed tramp A dirty daughter from the labor camps I laid you down in the grass of a clearing You wept, but your soul was willing and oh, my love. my love. and oh, my love. my love. We both go down together. And my parents will never consent to this love But I hold your hand Meet me on my vast veranda My sweet untouched Miranda and while the seagulls are crying we fall but our souls are flying and oh, my love. my love. and oh, my love. my love. and oh, my love. my love. and oh, my love. my love. We both go down together

a sacrifice, a crack in time we walk on glass, I spin in despair we dance in the halls of the past, gateways no longer there to nourish a dream and feel it disappear we harbour the thought of youth, a bloom no longer here a ritual to shape the fabric here’s the place a familiar scent a state of mind going back in time here I am waiting for ghosts and sometimes they appear sometimes they rise but you are falling, you are falling you are falling not flying but you are drowning, you are drowning you are drowning not diving Alone I Will Travel In Time Tonight but you are dreaming, you are longing you are craving not living Alone I Will Travel In Time Tonight here I am waiting for ghosts here I am waiting and I wait

remember, remember do you remember do you, do you remember do you remember when your life went wrong you are hope but you are gone still you appear in dreams, head like a sun, ferocious and mean but we have all been told lies lies, lies but remember we don’t bend we break all this means nothing when in Wicklow the stars begin to fall no matter what they take away from me no matter what they take away remember, lies, remember do you remember, lies do you, do you lie do you remember where your life went astray you are hope but you have gone away but please visit in dreams, communicate, hex and shine until we meet again remember, remember I remember you I remember lies

like lights in the houses I pass in the night the lonely things, they have arrived this is the weekend, this is the end bereft of dreams, please don’t disappear all the years rush by and the river flows faster now the clear wild eyes of youth and a stone to drown the memory all the forgotten things a tranquil place awaits me now strange songs we sing and the river flows faster now and then I can let go like faces in the window, inside the light are they ever friendly, or only young I was going to the house at the top of the world one day I had it all, the same day I threw it away all the years float down and the river flows faster now the clear wild eyes of youth and a stone to drown the memory all the forgotten things a tranquil place awaits us now strange songs are heard and the river flows faster now and then I must let go snow falls all around this lonely room and the river flows faster now the walls come close, this hotel room and the river flows faster now outside it seems so pure, so clean and nothing can save us now submit to the lonely things and my river dies into the sea all the years rush down and the river flows faster now the clear wild eyes of youth and a stone to drown them all these are the lonely things and my river flows faster now and now I let go

when this world fades away alien angels reign again when we fall we break like waves on the shores of wasted time when this world disappears do we speak the secret names eyes that glow like the sun and you will not forget me they are seven they are seven in the valley of the abyss they are seven they are seven they are seven in the numberless stars of heaven they are seven they are seven in the depths of the ocean they are seven they are seven they are seven forever and ever they are seven I send the light of the moon right into the soul of my enemy

wait, for this life to be (over), travelling from the mountains to the sea we’re more than halfway there, from Vaila Hall to Stanyan Street there was a time when songs saved your life fly I shall and flee we must, how I shone when no one was watching this is the way of the waves the tide has left me here the crooked path never ceases to end this is the way of the waves and somewhere, not far away, in a foreign town a strange girl, I never really knew, is shifting the furniture around I have driven that road so often I have driven that road so long this is the way of the waves the tide has left us here the crooked path never ceases to end (it never ends) this is the way of the waves what the waves were always saying and you all went home those nights and forgot while I still search for something that brings me peace shine unseen, then disappear shine unseen, then disappear this is the wish that didn’t come true shine unseen, then disappear this is the curse, we are all cursed shine unseen, then disappear but our ghosts will forever stay shine unseen, then disappear and the city glows in the night shine unseen, then disappear

counting the stars and the lights in the hills out on your own there’s no comfort in moonlight do we still dream of the sea? aimlessly, desperately at the crossroads, screaming “we don’t need your desert gods” and all the things we never said and the thing I never said when all things come to pass and my world falls apart there was only you
