No Other Time

I went to see my friend today, he didn't have much to say In his silence he told me all I need to know about time You who are not master of tomorrow delay your happiness Fill your cup with joy and grief and love and sorrow This is our time, there is no other time I let him go long ago. I wish he knew he's often on my mind I miss the days of yore, his drums will thunder no more You who are not master of tomorrow delay your happiness Fill your cup with joy and grief and love and sorrow This is our time, there is no other time

Yesterday we went out with no plan ended up on a funicular in the rain Acting like the Fool is working and if it's still raining, we'll just go around again Mainline the sunshine in my eye blow gently on the fire that's mine dark days may be coming but that's fine as long as i live life like a love song while i still have time every time i face a quandary i've learned to trust my gut the Fool knows the future has no boundary whichever way you walk make sure you strut Mainline the sunshine in my eye blow gently on the fire that's mine dark days may be coming but that's fine as long as i live life like a love song while i still have time

My favorite eyes, they're blue with shades of gold and grey in 'em too they belong to a lady, it's you If I only have one song to sing, oh let it be this I love you forever, yes I love you forever (now let me seal it with a kiss) My favorite eyes, strike me like a sunbeam in the fading light of a lazy afternoon I take my hat off, and point it at the sky If I only have one song to sing, oh let it be this I love you forever, yes I love you forever (now let me seal it with a kiss)

I built song this song for you Began with a tune courageous and strong that reminded me of you And your eyes of blue Summoned your smile with a hum The rhythm, the strum, like the beat of my heart as it drums in my chest for you Like the little dances you do It's simple and true, just like my love for you If I should fall, in some faraway land My only fear before my end Did I do my all, will you understand You were always my greatest friend So I wrote these words for you I'll stand and speak my truth, nothing more than the message of my heart I love you until depart It's simple and true, just like my love for you

She's a knife, cuts through my confusion Soothes my static, nurtures my illusions She's a spark, makes my heart beat quick She was born electric And I revel in the current, oh yeah I'm floating in a daze Her lightning makes me thunder Can you guess her trick? She was born electric She's a sage, her smoke is medicine Where there's smoke there's fire, She's dangerous in the darkness, she's beauty without and within She shocks me into rhythm when we kiss She was born electric And I revel in the current, oh yeah I'm floating in her gaze Her lightning makes me thunder Can you guess her trick? She was born electric She's a transistor I can't resist her She amps me up She's voltage in my veins

They cut us in pieces like American pie Everyone is fighting for their own slice It's old advice from Roman times Before you conquer you must first divide It doesn't matter if we agree I affect you and you affect me So let's raise a glass, yeah raise em high We are one under one blue sky If you want to dance, dance Make your fighting stance your stance Everyone must practice what we're preaching to have a chance So let's raise a glass, yeah raise em high We are one under one blue sky And if we return to dust And truth be told whatever comes we must There will be no one to mourn or cry But the world will keep on spinning under one blue sky

Reaper's in the room and the man on the moon is working on a groove Devil's on the porch lighting up a torch and he's smiling Pan is the garden dancing in the yard and it's beguiling to watch him move Reaper's in the room and he's cackling out his tune, and you'd best find yourself your place Gaia's got a grin as she's sipping on her gin and she's prowling at the keys Trickster takes his place and he picks up his bass and he's howling a-oooh Diana's on the drums kicking off the ones and she's scowling in the heat Siren's on the wall and she's calling to us all and we'd best find ourselves our place Hades is the DJ, and he's playing a song just for you Don't fear the words that are spoken, the cup is already broken

Felt like summer would last forever day after day and I would never have to come down from this high but you and I know the seasons must change every atom in my body replaced or rearranged until I'm not the same guy Autumn colors on a melancholy breeze I'm reminded by a murmuration in the trees that this is all just light passing by and I wonder as I stare at the leaves if my philosophy is shimmering or if what I believe has changed in the blink of an eye Atoms and void, and any gods breathe This is the life we're given, carpe diem

I just want to write a song you like set the right words to the tune howl the feeling of my heart at the moon but every song i write comes out sounding like the blues I, try perhaps my poetry's untrue perhaps my guitar is a little out of tune but every song i write comes out sounding like the blues I was surprised when your eyes told me the news it's not the genre but the song that you choose i guess it's lucky that last song i wrote sounded like the blues

Boys I don't know what to say, I've lost my way and I don't have much hope to make it home My skies have turned grey, day after day Cast out like a rogue on the road But maybe today it will rain Then everything may change One thing I know, When the air is so thick that I choke And a baleful sun glows like an awful joke One thing I know, one thing I know There's no mosquitos in the smoke. Boys I don’t know how to be, seems I’ve lost my dream Throw the life we’ve made on the fire I’m trying to speak but the wind is a thief And the flames of trouble rise higher But maybe today it will rain… One thing I know, When the air is so thick that I choke And a baleful sun glows like an awful joke One thing I know, one thing I know There's no mosquitos in the smoke.

Everything we do is either fear or love Am I willing to give up myself, for who I'll become? We can only be brave when we are scared Will I fight to know myself, and do I dare? I'll take my chances, yeah I'll play my part the worst that can happen is you tear me apart and leave me laying in the rain, feeling blue the streetlights flickering while the demons chew Oh oh oh... I'll see what happens, if I open my heart the worst that can happen is you tear it apart and leave me laying in the rain, feeling blue the streetlights flickering while the demons chew Oh oh oh...

I don't fear thunder I'm not afraid of pain but I often wonder why I'm inexplicably happy in the rain I'm not afraid of lightning nor those we do not name but I find it a little frightening the way I'm inexplicably happy in the rain In the rain, when the sky is grey In the rain, i'm inexplicably happy in the rain i don't mind the wind go ahead and point my weathervane it's almost a sin the way I'm inexplicably happy in the rain
