My head is filled with a thousand things
And a hundred more it lets go everyday
Nobody knows what joy it brings
When your face doesn’t go away
…
My heart is filled with a thousand feelings
And all of them have something to say
Nobody knows what song it sings
When your smile decides to stay
…
Here I am with a thousand sins
On the tip of my tongue they lay
A rare day it is when truth prevails and wins
I know you will change it someday

When The Rains Come A-Calling
Has the world collided
Into the strangest land?
Are the birds of monsoon
Calling out to a friend?
Didn’t I ever warn you
Not to leave my hand?
For it really hurts me
The way these tears do stand
But you go on dancing
And you keep on dreaming
And I’ll always watch you like I always have
When the rains come a-calling
…
Have you ever wondered
If there’s a secret way
Possibly for chasing
Rabbits and clowns all day?
Let the mystery unfold
Let the magic say
If it wants to leave us
Or does it plan to stay
But you go climb a rainbow
And you keep on wondering
And I’ll never leave you like I never have
When the rains come a-calling
…
Take all the joys you want to
And lock them in your mind
Years from now, someday
Your memory will act so kind
To recollect all that you used to
Do and have left behind
And in that reminiscence
A special treasure you will find
But don’t bother about tomorrow
You just keep on jumping
And I’ll always love you like I always have
When the rains come a-calling
A Strange Equation
‘Tis a strange equation
Where left never equals right
Has me dreaming all day
Keeps me awake all night
Bleed For You
As long as there is mercy in that crown
I’ll plead for you
As long as there is blood in my veins
I’ll bleed for you
I’ll bleed for you
…
As long as there is hope in the air
I’ll pray for you
All day and all night
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
…
Any treasure in the world
I’d bring for you
All day and all night
I’d sing for you
I’d sing for you
…
Tell all the stars
To shine for you
Tell all the words
To rhyme for you
Tell all the rivers
To flow for you
Tell all the lights
To glow for you
To glow for you
…
Tell all the clouds
To cry for you
Tell all the birds
To fly for you
Tell all the mermaids
To sing for you
Tell all the bells
To ring for you
To ring for you
…
Tell all my veins
To bleed for you
Tell my heart
To bleed for you
Tell my soul
To bleed for you
Tell myself
To bleed for you
To bleed for you
Like We’ve Never Met
So easy to regret
So hard to forget
My love for you is true and yet
You just act like we’ve never met
Green Field
I climb down these stairs
A thought in my head
Along with all the spares
Deserts my lonely bed
Never thought I’d understand
What it’s like to be alone
Missing the touch of your hand
As we laid on our own
On the green grass
As time would pass
And we would sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
…
Day turns to night
And the moon comes out
Jealous of your light
Not a shadow of a doubt
But it doesn’t feel alright
A message the winds have blown
Makes every face so bright
But I lay on my own
On this green grass
And time wouldn’t pass
And for you, I’d sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
…
Morning sun’s about to come
I don’t give a care
Makes me wonder what has become
Of the love we used to share
The stars blink at me
And down a light is thrown
And your face I can see
I know I’m not alone
In this green field
A moment is sealed
As we together sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
Dying Glimpse
Tied my shoes and off I set
To places Jesus never went
In my quest to find joy and peace
And dying merriment
…
And against the setting sun I saw
Shadow of a girl up yonder
And with every minute that passed
My aching heart grew fonder
…
At your feet I’ll lay my soul
And all my life I’ll bear your whims
If you can reproduce that one moment
And give me another glimpse
All That Is You
If I ever tell you what is killing me, I’m sure you’d think it’s a lie
My heart’s made of stone
And it loves to be alone
But yours is the only face I’d like to see when I die
You could be apprehensive about the future and regretful about the past
If time was a song
I’d sing all day long
And clutch every moment between my fingers and make these memories last
And only the truth will lie between you and me
As I bare my soul to you
And the spoken words will form a melody
And rhyme with all that is true
…
Though some doors have closed for now, there is still some hope for us
Your smile will give
A hope and then live
Beyond the bonds of time and space of this curse
There is nothing more to me now than I ever was
If my promises were a trick
You could break it with a stick
But it is much more than dying for a lost cause
And only true love will lie between you and me
As I bare my heart to you
And the ecstacy and pain will form a melody
And rhyme with all that we knew
…
Will you forgive me my fears and accept me as I stand here tonight?
Let the rain pour
Let it thunder and more
I expose myself to uncertainties until you teach me what is right
Will you do me a favour and walk with me and hold my hand throughout?
The sky will turn blue
From its paler hue
And the grass would be more green than it has ever been without a shadow of a doubt
And only the heavens will lie between you and me
As I bare myself to you
And the angels will sing in a melody
And rhyme with all that is you
The Clouds Are Moving
If my eyes aren’t deceiving
It seems the clouds are moving
I wish they would stay
I could talk with them all day
But they are drifting away
And nobody else is arriving
…
‘Tis not a day to be spent alone
Air is filled with pages thrown
Flying away, flying thin
The cold winds burn my skin
But they know where to begin
They have already passed my bones
…
It’s not like I’m not trying to
But there is something about you
Which makes my heart leap
And know just how to keep
My heart from falling asleep
And I dream about you until two
…
Across town, I wander
Hoping lightning would strike and thunder
Would bring down rain
And I’d hide my pain
As I try in vain
To do anything but surrender
…
If my eyes aren’t deceiving
It seems the clouds are moving
I wish they would stay
I could talk with them all day
But they are drifting away
And nobody else is arriving
I’ll Wait For You
Where trees are fell
Where flowers don’t smell
I’ll wait for you
In this living hell
I’ll wait for you
…
Where winds don’t blow
Where rivers don’t flow
I’ll wait for you
And let you know
I’ll wait for you
…
Where stars don’t shine
And you are not mine
I’ll wait for you
Till the end of time
I’ll wait for you
…
Where bells don’t ring
And birds don’t sing
I’ll wait for you
And change everything
I’ll wait for you
And change everything
