Lay her gently Gently slowlyLay her in the ground I don't know if she'll come at all

Today I find all my world is slowly turning blueHow about youI will walk around with my head in the sky and it is blueHow about you Today I find all the things I held so high are in the groundI don't know why, I don't know whereI don't know why you really careI only know that my world's turning blueHow about you, how about you Today I see a million faces in shades of fading blueHow about youI felt so sure familiar places and children's skies are blue How about you

She never has to stop and thinkNever makes you lose a thingShe is so enchantingI always have to stop a whileCross my hands and close my eyesI am so demanding When she smiles she opens wideTouching you inside to lieLife can be so shaking handedNervously you're shaking signsLife is better taken blindStill you're left so disenchanted Giving it all awayGiving it all away You always have to stop and thinkDesperately to find somethingThat is even handedI never want to think a thingThat shatters almost everythingLife can leave you hanging

You can keep your pretty girlsChained inside the dungeonsAnd diamonds and pearlsYou can keep them a'comingGive them all of your affection You keep your naughty boysLocked inside the kitchenAnd when they make a noiseA swish of your hand keeps themScreaming out for your affection I don't know the why's or whereforesI don't know what's wrong or rightI just know at nightYou give them all of your affection You keep your servants downSwinging from the gallowsAnd when they come roundOh you smile and you say helloGive them all of your affectionYou give them all of your affectionYou give them all of your affection

Isolated junkyard Letting out the garbage Eating through the core of life Sweet fragrance irritates In a stale room death awaits Persecute your own self pride Suffocate the new high Ride a thorny mule that cries Dig your grave and jump right in Like a Judas pay the price Thirty pieces for a ride Here's the fire now take a chew Do yourself a favour Educate your mind Get yourself together Hey, Oh there ain't no time Shredded know how gives away Species of the human race Those funky winds of ups and downs Hall of grit is known too wellHeaven still is your hell Poison slowly slowly drowns Let the devil step right in Lucifer's your only friend Ain't a soul gonna pity you Hurdle over time to death With open arms it waits I bet Don't you wish you could reach ground

Third shade of blueThe sky and youLike rain over the sea Third shade of redThe lover's bedCrimson blood and rose Third shade of green is all that you feelJust like my love but half as unreal

Every morning trafficEvery night i've had enoughEvery day compromiseLife's no surprise after much 'Someday people' lock themseves awaySaving up for another emptyPenny pinching rainy heaven day No-one talks at nightThey scream and fight and say too muchMy wife dreams all dayMy life says it's heard enough Rainy heaven days...

And it looks like one of those daysWhen my valentine ain't so funny yeahAin't so funny yeah And it looks like one of those daysWhen i'm holding the same old conversationLosing concentration And it looks like one of those daysWhen i'm holding the same old conversationAnd it looks like one of those daysWhen i'm losing all my concentration

Is she coming home, I'll leave the light on But through times and space she'll go If she's coming home she won't tell me And I wonder if I should know Wonder if I should feel something Wonder if I should know But it's dark in here Tip-toe softly do not wake herAs she sleeps so very slow Dim the light on her day-dream But her dreams you'll never know See her fading dress and frame it's colours For a memory you'll long to know Drape the covers in her bedroom But life freezes with melting snow Ah...is she coming home...
