(shrug)
the only way
that i can see
is to hold you close to me.
engrossed is the bee of my mind
on the blue lotus feet of my divine mother
my divine mother my divine mother
well you're my friend
many times we've been out drinking
and many times we've shared our thoughts
but did you ever ever notice
the kind of thoughts i've got
well you know i have a love
a love for everyone i know
and you know i have a drive
to live i won't let go
but could you see its opposition
comes rising up sometime
and it's dreadful and positioned
comes blacking in my mind
and then i see a darkness
and that i see a darkness
and that i see a darkness
and that i see a darkness
and did you know how much i love you
is a hope that somehow you could save me
from this darkness
i hope that someday buddy we'll have peace
in our minds
whether we're apart alone or without lines
we can stop our horror
and put a smile inside
and light it up forever
and never go to sleep
my best unbeaten brother
this isn't all i see
i know i see a darkness
i'll know i see a darkness
i'll know i see a darkness
i'll know i see a darkness
did you know much i love you
it's a hope that somehow you,
you can save me
from this darkness
she won’t come
i’ll be gone
she won’t come
i’ll be gone
if i leave before it is light
i’ll be around when you are
she won’t come
i’ll be gone
she won’t come
i’ll be gone
sing a song of madeleine mary
a tune that all can carry
brother says if we don't sing, then
we won't have anything
all the boys on the ships that sail
and the maid was madeleine mary
then her eyes did fill with tears
it was extraordinary.
it was extraordinary
only none of us could see it
for she kept herself kept below
and all her feelings by her
sing a song of madeleine mary...
none of us could get a glimpse
but all of us did want it
at night above our sleeping heads
our sleeping dreams were haunted
so now my kids you'd like to hear
of one who reached and got her
well if there was well i think
he sleeps beneath the water
sing a song of madeleine mary...
if an end comes it is good to be
in the presence of a few
with a few friends is how it should be
when everything is through
watch one hour with me
stay just a way by my side
when my hallelujah days
streak into blues and greys
be my guide
stay awhile
watch with me
i won't ask you to be strong with me
i won't ask you to be kind
i won't ask you to stay long with me
just help me find my mind
stay with me
watch one hour with me
and in hard times i will look for you
want you gentle by my side
and with soft eyes tell me one more time
no need to run and hide
stay with me
watch one hour with me
and when death comes
i reach for your hands
feel your love flow in your breath
in your eyes i'll find a way to stand
and see more life than death
stay with me
watch one hour with me
darling i can stay awake all night
and i will make mistakes alright
'cause the body asks so much
sweet thing, i give you what i reach
taking what i have to teach
and we end it with such
with such, with such...
oh it don't rain anymore
i go outdoors
where it's fun to be
and i know you love me
i know you do.
this is what makes a thing last
want to make what didn’t happen go
head start
on the frog
on the deer and the dog
the things we true were taught
loyal torn from our hearts
it’s now so soft underfoot
we sleep more than we sleep
if god could make me cry
i’d run along the water
and the infamous
death to everyone
is gonna come
and it makes hosing
much more fun.

that i can see
