I’m too short for this time of year, she says As the sun shone low through the screen I’m too old for this much beer, he says As the room around him spins And I am tilting at windmills I’m forever falling apart I’m calling at angels I’m forever falling into a stranger’s welcoming arms I’m too old for these kinds of dream, he says Grabs his hat and heads for the door But a voice inside him sings, he stops, stops and turns his eyes to the floor And I am tilting at windmills I’m forever falling apart I’m calling at angels I’m forever falling into a stranger’s welcoming arms There’s a bitterness inside that is burnt up and burnt out It’s dried up and ready to die But there’s a twinge of a heartache, a ghost of a pain A sign that there’s something alive Something alive Alive There’s a sign in the sunrise, A flicker of bright eyes There’s a laugh in a cold night, The glimpse of a warm light The chill of the cool rain, The sound of a new name The glitter of fresh ice, There’s something alive Something alive One day I will climb, lose my way, stumble and fly One day I will rise, spread my wings and take to the sky. One day I will climb, lose my way, stumble and fly One day I will rise, spread my wings and take to the sky.

There are two kinds of flow, this one was DC Let her go slow, let her go easy There is a load on a joint, there is a voltage across a wire There is a critical point where the numbers get higher We are not right We are not right There is a formula, precautions to take but no calculations cover someone else's mistake We are not right We are not right Keep your pride intact, just for her sake Keep it matter of fact, just her latest mistake There are two kinds of flow, this one was DC Let her go slow, let her go easy So the best you can do, just for her sake is smile and accept you were her latest mistake We are not right We are not right There are two kinds of flow, this one was DC

Jack Frost and The Winter King were dancing at the break of spring Crying they’d missed the best of things, that they had only made a start We all laughed, forgot the cold Aliens amongst an old and tired dream ‘til next winter’s start I’m trying to reach my friend, I’m told he’s there at the other end, A disembodied voice tells me to hold, Down my head in shame of 16 years of silence, Will he know my name? Will he care to answer? Will he treat me just the same? Ten hours in an aeroplane, I’m never coming back this way, I see the sunrise from the air again. And I have cried this way once awake, Many times in my sleep she says She doesn’t understand but still she’s just a call away Goodbye jack frost you can have your way Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay Goodbye jack frost you can have your way Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay These eyes have seen it all I know the changes are getting less Free fall snow fall can’t get it off my chest I’m flying too high to track me down, By your grace I’m found, lost above the clouds, The sunlight pulls me south Goodbye jack frost you can have your way Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay Goodbye jack frost you can have your way Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay I can’t believe you carried the flame, That catch in your voice when you heard my name Cut me down I am on my way back home Back home back home, I am on my way Goodbye jack frost you can have your way Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay Goodbye jack frost you can have your way Farewell to the winter king my blessings on your stay

Where is the light that will not shine? Where is the time that did not pass you by? We are alone in this life Far from all manner of crowds We’ve made our home of this life Why would you want to get out? Where is the song that taught you your own way home? Where is the dream that gave you the chance of your own? Where is the word that took you far away? Where is the wind that sent you home again? We are alone in this life Far from all manner of crowds We’ve made our home of this life Why would you want to get out? Why do you dream? If dreams break your heart Why do you sing? When it tears you apart We are alone in this life Far from all manner of crowds We’ve made our home of this life Why would you want to get out? Why don’t you dance? When it lifts your soul Why don’t we have a choice at the end of it all? We are alone in this life Far from all manner of crowds We’ve made our home of this life Why would you want to get out? Where is the light that will not shine? Where is the time that did not pass you by?

I’m too tired to write, I can barely think But rules is always rules and the end is always a drink You’re going to top out at a contender It may be me you need here The snowflake left its dark mark on me So hello, here’s the show Sweet, sweet oblivion Sweet, sweet oblivion Where nobody’s beautiful, want me Dance the day shut This offer of the dead alone Baby don’t deal beyond the truth Kid bring back these good roads Guide my blind boat home Sweet, sweet oblivion (Kid bring back these roads) Sweet, sweet oblivion (Guide my blind boat home) Kid bring back these good roads I’m too tired to write, I can barely think But rules is always rules and the end is always a drink

I got dirt on my hands You got dirt on your hands I got gold in my hands Cause I know how you got yours Well someone told the people and they figured it out That someone told the people they were hanging around Well someone wrote a letter and they passed it about And someone brought a lighter and they’re burning it down, and breaking it down and tearing it down We don’t want to work no more We just want to hang about and fool around We don’t want to talk no more We don’t want to draw attention to the dirt on my hands You got dirt on your hands I got gold in my hands Cause I know how you got yours You know you sold the people out and you’re letting them down But they know you’re on the payroll and they figured it out It’s all a bit of grease in your PR machine They know you never say the things you think that you mean, or want it to mean, or want it to be We don’t want to work no more We just want to hang about and fool around We don’t want to talk no more We don’t want to show our hands so they can see the dirt on my hands You got dirt on your hands I got gold in my hands Cause I know how you got yours You got to badge it like sony You got to pimp it like MTV You gone and sexed it up for the tv news You got them throwing bricks at the fire crews You got dirt on your hands

Woke up easy this morning, it was already a beautiful day Walked in early to work, sun behind me all the way Picked up a cup of coffee, switched on the infernal machine Pulled up my chair, settled down to the old routine But the fucking thing isn’t working again But I’m cool, I’m calm. It’s ok. It’s ok. We are drowning We are drowning We are drowning Not waving, not waving And I’m trying to see your point of view And I know exactly what you’re trying to say But it just comes down to the maths And I can’t cut it any other way The fucking numbers just don’t add up But it’s ok, I know you’re under pressure I’ll try again We are drowning We are drowning We are drowning Not waving, not waving We are drowning We are drowning We are drowning Not waving, not waving Does it look like I’m fucking waving to you Does it look like I’m waving to you Does it look like I’m waving to you Does it look like I’d do fucking anything for you We are drowning We are drowning We are drowning Not waving, not waving

I fully understand the course of my actions and all that they entail And I fully regret the trail of consequence that brought me to this place And I understand what this means to my soul And I understand where you believe it’ll go And you need to understand that given the choice I would do the same again. So I’ve been drinking in the small hours, in the dark of the soul And I remember everything, everything that I’ve been told I may come across as crude, I may be subtle as a brick I may not be astute but that don’t mean that I don’t think And I know I have done wrong, I know I have caused real bleeding pain And I know the truth of my sins and I know I remember everything And I know the place where the devil’s music is made And it’s not some lonely crossroads trail It’s in small cold dark of the soul I’m not looking for redemption; I know I’ve gone too far this time Just give me 24 hours and another wrong can make this right And as you consider this remember I remember everything And I saw the look of recognition on his face as I heard the firing pin slide into position As the safety catch came off It’s not enough It’s not enough But it’s all you’ve got

I am the weight on your shoulders I am the yoke of your past I am the ghost of your memories The well beaten track but I’m fading away, I’m fading away I am your worries, your cares I am the dark thoughts that lead to despair but I’m fading away, I’m fading away I’m fading away, I’m fading away I am the horrors from the dark of your heart i am the last nightmare you'll ever have but I’m fading away, I’m fading away I am all the losses written onto your soul I am the pains that never grow old but I’m fading away, I'm fading away I’m fading away, I’m fading away I am the damned. I am the broken. I am your suffering soul’s sum of its burdens, but I’m fading away, I’m fading away I’m fading away, I’m fading away

And I have walked this far, to reach the white tower Because I woke up lost in my darkest hour And I saw the moonlit stone, a midnight dream like bone And I have done my best, and I’m told I’ll find some rest And I have sailed a while to reach your white tower And I did not forget, I said I’d track you down I kept your face in mind, I held your faith in mine. I set my compass west, where my heart shall find its rest. On you we laid our prayers Such as they were And I drove for miles to reach this white tower I chose a granite stone and I chose a white flower And I carved my lines and I’ve done my time It may have been a final jest, but I’ll lay me down to rest. The white tower The white tower In your final hour You find the white tower
