Finally Free

The
Miracle:
Friday evening
The blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful
man

Sole survivor
No witness to the crime
I
must act fast to cover up
I think that there's still
time

He'd seem hopeless and lost with this
note
They'll buy into the words that I wrote

"This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've
finally broke free
No longer torn in two
I'd take
my own life before losing you"

Victoria:
Feeling
good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian
Said
we'd get together soon

He's always had my
heart
He needs to know
I'll break free of the
Miracle
It's time for him to go

This
feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally
broke free
No longer torn in two
He'd kill his
brother if he only knew

Their love renewed
They'd rendezvous
In a pathway out of view
They
thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night

The Sleeper:
One last time
We'll lay down
today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last
time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We
fade away

As their bodies lie still
And the
ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All
their fears disappear, it all becomes clear
A blinding
light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for a new
A familiar voice comes shining through

Nicholas:
This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm
finally free
No longer torn in two
I learned about my
life by living through you

This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer
torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you

We'll meet again my friend someday soon

Hollow Years

He's just the kind of man
You hear about
Who leaves his family for
An easy out
They never saw the signs
He never said a word
He couldn't take another day

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl
You hear about
She'll never want another
She'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs
She'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
(Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
(Once the stone)
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
(Into the waves)
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years

Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear)
Once the stone
(the crashing)
You're crawling under
(down of hollow years)
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Once the stone
You're crawling under
(The sound you'll hear, the crashing down of hollow years)

Take Away My Pain
I was sitting on the edge of his bed
Staring at the headlines on the paper
He said, "look at poor gene Kelly
I guess he won't be singing in the rain."
You can take away my heroes
Can you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain
Don't stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knocking at your door

She was standing by the edge of his bed
Staring at the message on their faces
He said, "what else can you do babe?
I guess I won't be coming home again."
They just took away all my promises
Make them take away my pain

Take away my pain
Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain
Don't stumble on my pride
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight
I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knocking at your door

His final scene
The actor bows
And all those years
Are gone somehow
The crowd applauds
The curtain falls

I was standing by the edge of the water
I noticed my reflection in the waves
Then I saw you looking back at me
And I knew that for a moment
You were calling out my name
You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It's time to let it rain
There's nothing left to hide
Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
I'm learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knocking at my door.......
