This Darkness Falls
I was staging an escape when you caught my arm,
And said: Let's blow the doors off the 21st centaury.
I learned astonishment that night.
But now it all seems clearer like something I once knew,
We have to burn a candle as this darkness falls.
This darkness falls, this darkness falls,
This darkness falls around.
I was hiding in the dark when your call came through,
All twinkling lights and a telephone noise your voice right next to me.
Then a trick of the lights said: Goodbye my dear.
And I think about the good times and what we've all been through,
We have to light a candle as this darkness falls.
This darkness falls, this darkness falls, as we sleep,
This darkness falls around.
Once you took my hand and laughed then said: Let's run,
To a place where we are always free.
So now I take the shutters down at night.
But time won't run backwards control zee undo.
We burn this damn candle down as the darkness falls.
This darkness falls, this darkness falls, as we sleep.
This darkness falls as we sleep.
Darkness falls around, darkness falls around,
As we sleep, as we sleep, as we sleep, as we sleep.

Visions of Eden
In this world of chaos
Time out of mind
In this hell we have created
In the name of mankind
And I want to swim with the Dolphins
I want to sail this crazy sea
Sing from tree to tree
With leaves where leaves should be
But that's all just the dream in my heart
It is these visions of Eden that stop me going insane
It is these visions of Eden that help me conquer pain
It is these visions of Eden that help me get up again
We have driven down the road
Which every body knows
It's a one way ticket
To the land where nothing grows
And we have our new heroin
We have our new dearth
And all the former reason
Is gone with the earth
And I want to swim with the Dolphins
I want to sail this crazy sea
Sing from tree to tree
With leaves where leaves should be
But that's all just the dream in my heart
It is these visions of Eden that stop me going insane
It is these visions of Eden that help me conquer pain
It is these visions of Eden that help me get up again
Henry Sparks 1989

Where is our city? Where is our king?
Where hangs the star on the best motel
The towers of gold and money they all had their day
We move without hope or faith in anything
In the dawn it was clear that no one enters in
And none of our dreams worked out
We do not believe anymore
And they were the last
To believe in their dreams
Where is our city and where is our king
And who would have thought we would ever say that thing
And who stole our water and who killed the air
And who would have thought that no one really cares
And none of our dreams worked out
We do not believe anymore
And they were the last
To believe in their dreams
But nothing worked out
We do not believe anymore
I do not believe anymore
I do not believe anymore

This is a ramble round the dusty attics of Chris's mind. I particularly like the sound of this album. Listen to the Woolfless Years.
