Marie Antoinette

You you walk away
Your gait is quick
This is what I deserve

We we’re both alone
No one is home
You’re strong to leave

Dethroned from my throne
Marie Antoinette
My head’s removed 
Still I see, still I see

You you’ll never land
Your wolf my lamb
Your wish my command

Dark is my sky
From which you fly
Your wings are spread
And you leave, you leave me dead

You are my queen
And as foreseen
You finally saw me
For what I can be

Dark is my sky
From which you fly
Your wings are spread
And you leave, you leave me dead

All I Ever Needed

It’s too late, I don’t want to hear more excuses
I don’t want to hear what you have to say
No more, can’t take any more abuses
So leave now, I’ll see you on a different day

Just pick up your suitcase
And I’ll pick up the pieces
Every thing that you aren’t
Is All I Ever Needed

I tried hard to take what you had to give me
But now I can’t take it anymore
To think that you could raise your hand to me
It’s time to show you the door

Just pick up your suitcase
And I’ll pick up the pieces
Every thing that you aren’t
Is All I Ever Needed

As I start again, this time I’ll make sure that it’s right
As I start again, I’ll see things in a different light
As I start again, I’ll see the future and it will be bright

Because that’s All I Ever Needed

Taste The Wine

Reckless boy I see you running to greener pastures
At the cliff stop by the edge and briefly glance over

Feel the air don’t fly away, like a hawk or a sparrow
Turn and face your homeland

Rivers and castles, their shadows hover
Over the water, traverse the bank with distance farther

Taste the wine aged in a cellar, in dust covered bottles
I wouldn’t give this up for a moment

Walk across water, shoeless children, feel the daylight slip away
Cast your shadow, yellow moon, pack your bags until another day

Fearless hunter bring home dinner
She waits for you and the home fire is burning

Embellish you through the window, she draws you in
And my blood is burning, my blood is burning

Fade to highlands, gentle woman, burning harvest, rain in May
Broken carriage, wild horses, run the fields nature’s way

Walk across water, shoeless children, feel the daylight slip away
Cast you shadow, yellow moon, pack your until another day

Time Moves On

My friends came by the other day
We said we’d always be together
We laughed, we played, it was just like any day
We said we’d always be together

I don’t know what to do
Scared of something new
Time stood still before me

My friend John came by the other day
He told me about his wife and his children
My little sister went off to school, on her own with her own rules
So I went and wrote her a letter

It said please be careful
Because it’s a bad world
Watch where you’re walking
Don’t let the rug be pulled from underneath your feet

My son called just the other day
He said I can’t make it this year for the holidays
The kids are growing, work is demanding and I can’t get away
So I told him, maybe next year if that’s okey

And I don’t know what to do
Tired of all that’s new
Time stood still before me

And I don’t know what do to
Sick of all that’s new
Time, Time moves on
Time moves on without me

Don’t let the rug be pulled from underneath your feet

Time moves on
Time moves on
Time moves on

Don’t Run For Cover

Tortured mind don’t shy away from your darkest perceptions
Go through the time to find all of your deepest rejections
And watch the way they leave your imagination’s theater
Feel today your joy at being forever after

And take all the time you need
I’ll be around the corner
Waiting for you, instead of another
Don’t run for cover

I will defend the way I believe, as if I’m told not to
Because no one knows what the other has been through
And don’t chastise but love what’s coming towards you running
Three to one, feel it finally by your side, what you’ve been missing

And take all the time you need
I’ll be around the corner
Waiting for you, instead of another
Don’t run for cover

And take all the time you need
I’ll be around the corner
Waiting for you, instead of another
Don’t run for cover

Because it’s right here, in my arms
I’ll never love another
