Up On The Ride

In my heart lies a dancer

And it glorified the rain

From the temple of water

To the reason for my pain

There’s a price to kind us

There’s a bridge I’ve yet to cross

Where the temple of silence

Is the reason we get lost

And find me a partner

That can stand the way I shame

On the past of my frame book

From the laughter to the lake

Oh, I try to be clever

Oh, I try to be good

But I messed up the secret

That I always knew I would

There was there on the carpet

There was freedom in the smile

Of the one I chased after

Oh, it sat there all the while.

And I don’t claim to be more

That I ever have been

But that night I was bad nursed,

But that night I was afraid.

Oh, that night I was madness,

Oh, that night I was shame.

So, you will change today

The lights you so frequently cover will begin to shine again

The pathways you trapped so blindly will start their purpose, or disappear

The drastic decisiveness that you must learn to inherit will make its first cautious journey

Upwards, into your inverted perception circle. I would like to be your friend.

Life, a gift you so often swander is precious as it has always been

And faith, that I hidden, still sits above your head.

So pull back the morphine curtains, go wash and purge those demons clean.

Today is the first day, as they have always been.

And today, dear you, you will begin to love yourself with joy.

Oh, stay near my baby,

I know I’m not an easy ride.

But I’d do everything,

To keep you,

To keep you by my side.

I may not yet have found the one,

May spend my whole life tryin’ to run,

But I can’t let the good thing die

I’m gonna fight for you tonight.

Oh, stay near my baby,

I know I’m not an easy ride.

But I’d do everything,

To keep you,

To keep you by my side.
