These Dreams Ringtones

Spare a little candle, save some light for me Figures up ahead moving in the trees White skin in linen, perfume on my wrist And the full moon that hangs over These dreams in the mist Darkness on the edge Shadows where I stand (shadows where I stand) I search for the time on a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly Come closer than this (all that I remember) But all that I remember Are dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night, I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away Is it cloak and dagger, could it be spring or fall? I walk without a cut Through a stained glass wall (weaker in my eyesight) It's weaker in my eyesight The candle in my grip (words that have no form) And words that have no form Falling from my lips These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night, I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's so cold outside Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away There's something out there I can't resist I need to hide away from the pain There's something out there I can't resist The sweetest song is silence That I've ever heard (feet don't touch the earth) It's funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes Freedom is a kiss (prince hides his face) But the prince hides his face From dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night, I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away These dreams, they go on and on and on When I close my eyes (every single second) Every second of the night, I live another life These dreams that sleep, when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away Thank you

These arms That hang here by my side. These arms That ache to open wide. Useless arms With nothing left to do Since these arms Stopped holding you. These arms Are worthless now to me. They let you go So how good could they be Just foolish arms For which I have no need A pair of arms That grew weak and set love free. Reaching out to embrace affect now Marie Finding just the empty space Around what's left of me. Two arms that failed completely Arms both scarred so deeply Keep paying loves cost with each tragic sway Trying meekly to assess my struggle with the truth Unable to resist what tears still make us new Two arms that failed completely Arms both scarred so deeply Keeps paying loves cost with each tragic sway These arms That hang here by my side. These arms That ache to open wide. Useless arms With nothing left to do Since these arms Stopped holding you. Since these arms Stopped holding you.

A faded wedding photograph You and me in our first dance Our eyes are closed We're lost in one sweet embrace Since those days our world has changed Our love remains the same God knows we've had our share of saving grace And I'm proud of all the blessings You have given me The mountains we have climbed to get this far You learn to take the laughter with the tears After all these years You make it feel brand new After the fires that we walked through Against the odds we never lost our faith In a house we've made our home Where our children all have grown Precious moments time can not erase Make a livin' up and down the gypsy highway Seasons that we've beared to share apart Somehow in my heart I always keep you near After all these years After all these years You stood by me The days and nights that I was gone After all these years You sacrificed, believed in me And you stood strong 'Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear After all these years After all these years You stood by me The days and nights that I was gone After all these years You sacrificed, believed in me And you stood strong 'Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear After all these years

Everything we share is nothing Everything we share is now dead My emotions are distorted Creeping silence, nothing is said This is what it's come to, don't you Don't you hate me? I know I would I remember times of innocence Take it back, I would if I could I'll destroy you Visions of hell consume my thoughts Forgotten tears through all these years My fainting hopes have disappeared Through all these years Through all these years I'll destroy you Visions of hell consume my thoughts Forgotten tears through all these years My fainting hopes have disappeared Through all these years Through all these years As I sit here in my dark room Twisted music pounding my head Rules are broke and I can tell you I know I'll destroy you too I'll destroy you Visions of hell consume my thoughts Forgotten tears through all these years My fainting hopes have disappeared Through all these years Through all these years

Now we take our time, so nonchalant And spend our nights so bon vivant We dress our days in silken robes The money comes, the money goes We know it's all a passing phase We light our lamps for atmosphere And hang our hopes on chandeliers We're going wrong, we're gaining weight We're sleeping long and far too late And so it's time to change our ways But I've loved these days Now as we indulge in things refined We hide our hearts from harder times A string of pearls, a foreign car Oh, we can only go so far On caviar and Cabernet We drown our doubts in dry Champagne And soothe our souls with fine cocaine I don't know why I even care We'll get so high and get nowhere We'll have to change our jaded ways But I've loved these days So before we end, and then begin We'll drink a toast to how it's been A few more hours to be complete A few more nights on satin sheets A few more times that I can say That I've loved these days

These are the days of the endless summer These are the days, the time is now There is no past, there's only future There's only here, there's only now Oh, your smiling face, your gracious presence While the fires of spring are kindling bright Oh, the radiant heart and the song of glory Crying freedom in the night These are the days by the sparkling river His timely grace and our treasured find This is the love of the one magician Turned the water into wine, oh yeah These are days of the endless dancing And the long walks on the summer night These are the days of the true romancing When I'm holding you, oh, so tight These are the days by the sparkling river And His timely grace and the treasured find This is the love of the one great magician And the the water turned into wine These are the days now that we must savor And we must enjoy as we can These are the days that will last forever You've got to hold them in your heart These are the days These are the days These are the days (these are the days) These are the days (these are the days) These are the days

These are my people This is the land where my forefathers lie These are my people In brotherhood we're heirs of a creed to live by A creed that proclaims that by loved ones blood stains This is my land and these are my people These are my people They were born on and lived by the land These are my people and their cities were raised by hard working hands And their faces to tell that they're holding on well To this their land yes these are my people These are my people These are the ones who will reach for the stars These are my people that a light of the earth you can tell they are ours A new step to take and a new day will break For this my land yes these are my people These are my people hmmm

Oh, will you never let me be Oh, will you never set me free The ties that bound us are still around us There's no escape that I can see And still those little things remain That bring me happiness or pain... A cigarette that bears a lipsticks traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fairground's painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw You conquered me When you did that to me I somehow knew that this had to be The winds of March that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you Gardenia perfume lingering on a pillow Wild strawberries only seven francs a kilo And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you I know that this Was bound to be These things have haunted me For you've entirely enchanted me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside and sin-vitations Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses The waiters whistling as the last bar closes The song that Crosby sings These foolish things remind me of you How strange, how sweet To find you still These things are dear to me That seem to bring you so near to me The scent of smoking leaves, the wail of steamers Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you Just you

The lakes and pines, they bleed of beauty and grace And the rivers, they run wild like an endless race The forests soar so high then fall to the sea As church bells ring and sing in harmony I heard them say they're shutting Detroit down But I won't leave 'cause this is my hometown And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind With the memories of what was and what has been The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues There were 17 colors for a Chevy, all red, white and blue I heard them say that you can't save that town But I won't leave, I will stand my ground And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above 'Cause in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love And I was here watching it all go down And I'll still be when it comes back around And it's times like these we can't replace It's times like these we must embrace And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees It makes us who we are in times like these It makes us who we are in times like these

The cold has a voice It talks to me Stillborn by choice And it has no need to hold Old man feels the cold Oh baby don't 'Cause I've been told Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on my love We shall meet, I know I know Where joy should reign These skies restrain Shadows your love The voice trails off again Old man feels the cold Oh baby don't 'Cause I've been told Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on my love You feel so weak, be strong Stay on, stay on We shall meet, I know I know I know, my love, I know (Feel the cold) Winter's gone, I'm on my own Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on my love We will meet, I know So stay on, I know Stay my love, stay on We will meet, I know, I know Love I know

I was walking around, just a face in the crowd Trying to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There's a man out on the corner Singing old songs about change Everybody's got their cross to bear these days She came looking for some shelter With a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on the boulevard I guess she's trying to be James Dean She's seen all the disciples and all the wannabes No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days These days the stars seem out of reach These days there ain't a ladder on the streets, oh no, no These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age There ain't nobody left but us these days Jimmy Shoes, he busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes His momma said he was crazy, he said, "Momma, I've got to try Don't you know that all my heroes died And I guess I'd rather die than f-f-fade away, yeah" These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets, oh no, no These days are fast, nothing lasts, it's a graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train There ain't nobody left but us these days I know Rome's still burning Though the times have changed This world keeps turning 'round And 'round and 'round and 'round these days These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah But these days there ain't a ladder on these streets, oh no, no These days are fast, love don't last, it's a graceless age Even innocence has caught the midnight train These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah But these days there ain't a ladder on these streets, oh no, no These days are fast, nothing lasts There ain't no time to waste There ain't nobody left to take the blame, oh no, no There ain't nobody left but us these days Ain't nobody left but us these days
