how to travel through time

A western shore and an eastern wind All my troubles coming back again Seems like I don’t even have a friend On the western shore A stone age heart and a broken mind Blue sorry skies cover up my crime And all I ever find is human kind On the western shore Cold memories come from habits of the heart Cold morning hours they steal you in the dark A man of sorrow wouldn’t get this far On the western shore and I’ve seen it all before I know the way the world can let you go I know the way the world can look at you And leave you here on the western shore One day I know the world will try to let me go I know the way the world can look at you And let you loose on the western shore My suffering is like a ship on the sea I couldn’t get to where you wanted me to be I couldn’t wait for you to set me down on the western shore I curse the darkness a thousand times No candle burning can stop me being so blind No sweet redemption can ride these waves On the western shore (chorus) Some rolling thunder off the western shore Sometimes I wonder where I was before my troubles and I will wash away From the western shore The western shore

I run tomorrow With the dogs of Cairo Through the streets of the city And the sorrow and the pity In the eyes of the lovers In the drains and the gutters With the stars up above us Been on strange mountains Every day of my life Been on strange mountains In the dark and the light Every day of my life In the dark and the light Been on strange mountains I dream of the others In the arms of another in the land of the living in the heat of the giving in the rush of the shadows of the holy believers at the birth of a nation by the side of the highway on the tongues of the prophets I’ve been on strange mountains Every day of my life Every day of my life I crawl with the creatures In the backstreets of time In the noise of the future In the shadow of the blind In the hush of the hunger By the sideshow of heaven In the crush of the numbers In a world that is trying

Tonight the night time will forget the world Only the blind can look up and see the stars Only the wind in my memory Will bring my life back to me Tonight the night time will forget the day Only this train we’re on can find its way Only the light in the universe Has the chance to get there first Look at me now And I don’t want the whole world to know That my life is this side of the road And I don’t want the whole world to see That my boat’s on this part of the sea There are things that come early and late There are times when you have to wait I’ve got a friend up in Montreal Maybe I’ll give him a call And that’s the way that things are my friend Sometimes I’m on the losing end And if my heart didn’t wait for me If my eyes didn’t look to see (chorus) Look at me now; look at me now Tonight the night time will forget the world Only you and I here can see these stars The wind blows through my memory The wind knows what life meant to me Now it’s time to begin again Make the best of the worst my friend And if your life doesn’t wait for you If your world doesn’t walk you through

Mother Hurry 04:28
Which way I should go Which arm I should throw Which life I should take Which life I should show When will I be all my self Mother hurry; hurry mother Mother hurry Mother hurry; hurry mother Mother hurry What should I believe Who should I adore What should I confront What should I ignore When will I be all my self You can’t criticize what you just don’t like You can’t criticize if you won’t climb down the mountain And I’ve been told there’s a heart of gold But it must be a prisoner And I’ve been told there’s nothing we can do When the people are forsaken Mother hurry (chorus) With you I should love With you I should hold With you I should live beside With you I should know When I will be all my self You can’t criticize what you just don’t like You can’t criticize if you won’t climb down the mountain And I’ve been told there’s a heart of gold But it must be a prisoner And I’ve been told there’s nothing we can do When the people are forsaken Mother hurry (chorus)

Sometimes I think I hear a siren in my soul Racing through the hills of doom Sometimes I think I have a snowdrift in my mind Freezing through my thoughts and dreams Sometimes I think I go on a journey to when When life fits inside the distance Sometimes I think I see an exit to the future When you sit beside the morning What it is you got What it is you’re not What it is you are Sometimes I think I lost a sunshine universe Falling below my human being Sometimes I think I give my sovereignty away Making me a lonely country Sometimes I think I’d be an interesting man Breaking waves before they hit me What it is you got What it is you’re not What it is you are Sometimes I think that I was torn from the love of God Born and banished from the light Sometimes I think I feel you busy in my bloodstream Being what it is you are, being what it is you are What it is you got What it is you’re not What it is you are What it is you are

Did the things I do on my way to find the world Crucify my dreams, terminate my breath, And turn away the sun Did my heart break into the night Did my heart wait up for the light Of the new dawn Did the ones I hold on my way to know the truth Penetrate the hurt, open up the wound Bring the house down Does the love go into the world Does the love show on to the sky Of the new dawn Yes, I’m on the wrong side Yes, I’m on the wrong side I’m on the wrong side Did the things I say on my way to see the light Desecrate your love, laminate my soul Shoot down the stars Did my life turn into a crash Did my life go out in a flash Now it’s all gone (chorus) And you come to a point of no return On the wrong side of the mountain And you get to a place where love won’t burn On the wrong side of the mountain

Haven’t you got lonely in your heart Are your feelings dark Is the northern sky for you? Haven’t you got angels in your town Are your feelings down Is the drowning world for you? There’s a northern sky to help your kind There’s a northern sky to change your mind And I would not want to say When the rain clouds come your way Will you just try to disappear Into the comfort of God and fear? Or the northern sky Haven’t you got sorry in your sight Are your feelings right Is the April wine for you? Haven’t you got freedom in your mind Is your thinking blind Is there human kind for you? There’s a northern sky to help your kind There’s a northern sky to change your mind And I would not want to say When the rain clouds come your way Will you just try to disappear Into the comfort of God and fear? Or the northern sky Haven’t you got reason in your thought Are your feelings bought Is the northern sky for you? Haven’t you got kindness in your eye’s Are your feelings wise Is the devils lake for you? There’s a northern sky to save your kind There’s a northern sky to change your mind And I would not want to stay When the rain clouds come your way Will you just try to disappear Into the comfort of God and fear? Or the northern sky The northern sky

You’re the reason for my life on earth You’re the face that fills my morning time And I’m not going to let you go You know I already know That you’ve got something for the sea And I loved the way you tried to see me And you loved the way I tried to be And we both have heaven here to hold us And we both have something for the sea You’re the low tide I was waiting for You’re the warm sun on my winter mind And I’m not going to let you go down Tomorrows already been found And you’ve got something for the sea And I loved the way you tried to see me And you loved the way I tried to be And we both have heaven here to hold us And we both have something for the sea You’re the reason I was spoken for You’re the blue sky for my butterfly And I don’t want to watch you turn dark Sinking fast with a broken heart leaving something for the sea And I loved the way you tried to see me And you loved the way I tried to be And we both have heaven here to hold us And we both have something for the sea And we both have something for the sea

Tell me now, what I did to you How I stole your life; what I put you through And show me now, how the world won’t wait Where it dropped you off; when it heard you hate What I did to you Let me know, what you do to live How you keep on going; what you can’t forgive And though I can change into something human I can’t give back what I took from you In my world to be I’m a long way from free There’s no sun to shine On my winter mind In my world to be I’m a long way from me It’s all gone My world to be I can die; go fast and slow Break every window; fade out and go And I can live; below and above Believe every vision; every minute of love (chorus) Tel me now, what I did to you What I put you through I came on like a wrecking ball Swung in hard and made you fall I didn’t think of you, at all So tell me now, will you find your way To come out of the shadow, and see the day I can try to turn into stone Stop my heart beating; leave the world alone In my world to be I’m a long way from free There’s no sun to shine On my winter mind In my world to be I’m a long way from me It’s all wrong My world to be It’s all gone My world ... to be My world to be ... (fade out)

I need you here so don’t say no; I’ll take you back to Mexico I know I shot the future full of holes I took your life too seriously; like trying to solve a mystery Remember how we used to wreck the dawn Well the dawn fell down the well but the story will sell You could use that money for a rainy day You can close your eyes when the sun gets tired of the sky I tell you what, in another year; I’ll take you back to Monastir Remember how we used to see the stars? Don’t you want to know how I travel through time? Like the thought you have on your mind I’m thought about from time to time Like the smile I see on your face I try to go from place to place Like the look you have in your eye I go as far and then I die And if there’s a broken heart to find That’s how I travel through time You came along like every day that comes along and does not stay You left your broken records in the street You used to play them back to back; gave that old lady a heart attack Remember how we used to find the world? And there’s nowhere left to go No matter how far I travel through time There’s nowhere left to go Without you here with me No matter how far I travel through time There’s no one left to be I saw it all from the point of view that living life was loving you And failing that was always on the cards I took your words too literally; took you love enthusiastically Remember when we used to reach the top Well the top fell down the well but the story won’t sell It’s too old hat; not fresh from hell It’s all I have to wear when I come here I put these flowers on your grave For my peace of mind and to find my way Remember how we met the morning sun? Don’t you want to know how to travel through time? Like the thoughts you had on your mind You’re thought about from time to time Like the smile I saw on your face I’ll carry you from place to place Like the look I saw in your eye I’ll go as far and then I’ll die And if there’s a broken heart to find That’s how to travel through time That’s how I travel through time
