Sylph

|

|
I need someone to talk with
I need someone to walk with
Someone to understand me
So I can be just as free
As the birds in the sky
As the birds in the sky
You're the first one I have ever loved
You're the only one I even think of
Can't get you out of my mind
And you know I will never find
Someone as lovely as you
Someone as lovely as you
I love to run my fingers through your hair
I love the way I feel with one so rare
Oh you're too good to be real
And you know the way that I feel
When I'm alone with you
When I'm alone with you
I've got this heavy feeling in my heart
I had hoped that we would never part
But love is funny that way
There is nothing else I can say
I feel that I could cry
I feel that I could cry

A Simple Love Song
04:54
|
|||
|
I remember holding you the other day
I remember all those things that we did say
I love you and you love me
No way to tell what the future sees
I could spend the rest of the my life with you
Because of all those little things you do
That make me love you more and more
I now know who my life was meant for
Oh I was crying I was dying
When the plane took off and was flying
I finally realize
You will be back from those very skies
Cause when I am loving you
I have no other care in the world
And when I am holding you
All I see is the love in your eyes
You'll never know the thoughts that crossed my mind
But they all said that I would never find
Someone like you I could love
Someone I need much more of
Now that you're back please don't leave me again
And I have to I'll get on that plane
So that I can be with you
Never will we bid adieu
Cause when I am loving you
I have no other care in the world
And when I am holding you
All I see is the love in your eyes

The Feeling Is Gone
03:41
|
|||
|
You don't treat me like you used to - no
I don't feel as close to you - no
As I did one time
Can I change my mind
To what it was before
I just don't feel as much love - no
As we used to have - no
But I still love
And only think of
You - it's all I do
Although I don't want to say it
The feeling we had is gone
I wish I could be true but I can't
I feel I should move along
It's time for me to be gone
You don't treat me like you used to - no

Goodbye
03:05
|
|||
|
The days gone by remind me of times with you
But you are gone
Tell me what am I to do
We had an innocent love
A love like none ever before
But you are gone
What was done wrong
You said you couldn't stay
When I asked why tears fill your eyes
I said as you wish
And then the last kiss goodbye
I don't know why
I still don't understand why you left me
Here all alone

White Goddess
02:38
|
|||
|
Sitting on her golden throne
So sad that it must end
She's crying to her loneliness
She's lost her dearest friend
She walks in lonely fear
The day that never came
A virgin she'll forever be
No one could be the same
And she spends her days alone
Just waiting for the phone to ring
Alone another day
The phone - what does it say
She thinks about the pain
Her days are filled with rain so cold
Her fears she cries the pain
Her tears so cold like rain
She spends her days in solitude
With love she's never had
Cries herself to sleep each night
About a life so sad

Our Song
04:27
|
|||
|
I long to be with you
You are me and I you
I want to be with you
When I say I Iove you
As we talk about our stairway in the sky
I know I'll never need ask the question why
And I know I'll always love you
I'll always love you
And I know that when I look into your eyes
Never will the time come that we must cry
And I know I'll always love you
I'll always love you
Nothing will change a thing as each days goes on
I'll love you more as it says in this our song
And I know I'll always love you
I'll always love you
You kisses give desire
That take me even higher
Than I've ever been before
Yes I need you more and more

The Queen
02:44
|
|||
|
Sitting on a throne like a regal queen
You won't tell them all what it is you have seen
It was by proxy and not by your wife
You didn't mean it when you said yes for life
And the queen can't wait for the change
Yet he knows it'll never be the same
Going to the parties rendezvous for love
Society don't like him they just tell him to shove
Where've you been today my friend
What'd you see today my friend
Tell me what you did my friend
Show me what you did
And the queen can't wait for the change
Yet he knows it'll never be the same

Midnight Caller
03:54
|
|||
|
This is a story about a midnight caller
Who showed at my door one cold and lonely night
He had eyes that were cold and black
The kind of eyes to make you shake with fright
I asked him to come in and sit right down
I mean there was nothing else I could do
I offered him some of my finest brandy
And when he sipped it his face turned blue
When my midnight caller decided to leave
All he said was this very short so long
I had a very uneasy feeling
I knew something had to be wrong
It had been very long night
So I went right off to bed
When I awoke in the morning
I was relieved to find myself dead
This was the story of the midnight caller
Who showed at my door one cold and lonely night
All I can say is to let no one in
With eyes that make you shake with fright

Two Timer
02:51
|
|||
|
I've told you once
I've told you twice
I've told you before
It won't be long
I've had enough
I'll walk out that door
You're a teaser
I'm a pleaser
I can't stand no more
I say you don't
You say you do
Take a long ride
You ain't got nothing to hide
You got nothing to prove
I've seen you there
You know you're there
You two timing bitch
I'm gonna go
It's something you know
Time to switch
You want me to stay
I got one thing to say
Not even one wish
I say you don't
You say you do
Take a long ride
You ain't got nothing to hide
You got nothing to prove

I Don't Need You
03:44
|
|||
|
Are you with me or against me
Is it true that I'm really crazy
Paranoia creeps like darkness
In my mind which is so hazy
Since you left me my life is empty
Null and void is how to describe it
There are times when I feel so lonely
I can't the pain in the morning
When I wake I see your picture on the wall
I just can't take it no more
When I see you standing there
Without a care in the world
It breaks my heart in two
To think that you said you loved me
I remember the last I saw you
Was in darkness so romantic
But you left me for another
Who was better so you said
Now I realize I'm better off
Without all those things you do
The things you said they were all lies
That caused me pain made me hurt
You drove me crazy you're no good
And now I don't need you no more
When I saw you standing there
Without a care in the world
It broke my heart in two
But now I don't need you no more

Ten and Two

|
Ten and two
And I love you
For all eternity
Yes I know what you know
And I can see
Tears fall form my eyes
It's for you that I cry
So very long
You don't understand
That time is like sand
Here and then gone
I see the light
I know it's right
I still love you
Through the years I've cried the tears
What can I do
Tears fall form my eyes
It's for you that I cry
So very long
You don't understand
That time is like sand
Here and then gone

Born Again
03:58
|
|||
|
It seems familiar
It seems similar
It's all the same
It's not a game
I've been here before
Mesmerized I tell the truth
Being here living again
Don't tell me it's really true
It can't be it's just not sane
I've been hypnotized
I've been scandalized
It's all a hell
My soul to sell
I've been here before
Where're you taking me
Right there can't you see
Right there beyond
It can't be gone
I've been here before
That's the rock I remember
That's the one they killed me with
Long ago that's when it was
I lie there buried underneath
I can't be weeping
I must be sleeping
Tears in my eyes
Remembering goodbyes
I've been here before
I've been here before
I've been here before

The Ripper
03:09
|
|||
|
Keep your head low
Or I'll shoot you with my laser beam
I'm as wild as a child with a brand new toy
So don't you try to act so shy you're not so coy
Come to my house
Where I'll show you my favorite game
Or my car yes we'll go far enough away from here
So don't you stray and don't you say please not now dear
Now I hold you in my trap
And my body flows all around you
You must submit you can't fight it
And my body flows all around you
Step inside love
So we can see what might happen soon
Make a rip start the trip all the way downstream
It's all so true and not so blue
It's not what it seems

Awaiting Us All
04:29
|
|||
|
The grey sandstone walls
Box me in like a shell
And it's been oh so long
Since I heard the final bell
Too late to save myself
It's too late to save myself
A figure in black
Is just a faceless man
And if it's possible
I'll do what I can
But I can do nothing
No I can do nothing
My friend comes when least expected
He's the man with no face
He's come to claim your soul
He's going to end your race
My arms they won't move
As though they're filled with lead
And my heart it has stopped
As though I was dead
Hey people I'm alive
Yeah people I'm alive
As they lay in the box
I feel so stiff
And I still don't understand
Why he threw me off the cliff
The man with no face
The man with no face
The man with no face

The Candle
02:45
|
|||
|
Life is like a candle
With but one chance to light
Either it is lit with the first match
Or it doesn't light at all
Wax drips down the candle
Like the teardrops of life
Until the candle comes to an end
And is snuffed by its own memories
