Wish that I had no fear Sometimes I try to hide from the deepest love I’m calling out why can’t you hear I was a man who was just passing by At the end of the day I’m going to sing you this song As the memories go on At the end of the day Sit on a couch, get warm by fire The candle lights are glowing still Three in the morning, the night is dark Now let me start to tell a story At the end of the day Can you play me that song? Before the memories fade At the end of the day Wish that I had no fear Sometimes I try to hide from the deepest love I’m calling out why can’t you hear I was a man who was just passing by I was a man who was just passing by I am the one who wants to be loved

Sing that song, To keep this dream floating Now I'm standing here But still missing this place somehow We've got lost in the traffic lights We'll never know, it just comes and goes But the morning comes The end is near But the night is still dark Just touch my hand Before the morning comes We've got lost in the traffic lights Just hold my hand, to feel our existence But the morning comes The nights of the summer, The sounds of the city, I was just watching the people crossing streets Don't fade away, the glowing lights I wish everything real was gone, And left me alone But the night has gone But the night has gone The night has gone That's all we know The night has gone That's all I know All alone

Snowbirds 04:12
Just like white snow has no reason, It always comes and goes without reason Just like the sun shines from that window, You're the light that asks me out of this room I was just sitting on a fence I thought I could do anything I want I was just looking over the world I thought I could go anywhere I want Just like raindrops soak into parched ground, I was drenched in the sweetness of hope and fear Just like the light at the end of a tunnel, Hope you are standing at the end of this road I was just sitting on a fence I thought I could do anything I want I was just looking over the world I thought I could go anywhere I want Can you feel it? The north wind brings the beautiful season Can you hear it? I was just listening to the snowbirds singing outside Where are we now? Where will we go? The colors of the sky seem strange today Where are we now? Where will we go? The snowbirds don’t even know where to go

I don’t know what is real, what is the dream you are seeing No tears coming down, but I just want to see your dream I will never see the things you have in your sight Maybe they are just forgettable things, but I want to know I got far away It is hard to believe Here is, silence of the night, The scent of lavender, without your voice I don’t know what is real, what is the dream I'm seeing I just want time to pass by, but I know I will never feel the things you feel in your heart We are far away, but we can swing to the same song I got far away It is hard to believe Here is, silence of the night, The scent of lavender, without you

I was passing through the deepest woods I was listening to the sound sequence of the wheels In the night train, in the empty compartment, Outside the window, there was mist covering the night I was wondering where were we last night I was thinking about the words I should have said to you In the night train, in the empty compartment, Outside the window, there was mist covering the night The night fog, take me away from here But I know my hope is just to be mystified The night fog, cast her in the night But I know my dream is just to be mystified I was writing a letter to my dear The words I can't speak in front of you Tore up the pages that I filled with words And threw into the night, And they're gone in the mist I was watching the river reflect the moon I was listening to the sound of the rain and the wind In the night train, in the empty compartment, Outside the window, there was mist covering the night I was wondering where were we last night I was thinking about the words I should have said to you In the night train, in the empty compartment, Outside the window, there was mist covering the night The night fog, take me away from here But I know my hope is just to be mystified The night fog, cast her in the night But I know my dream is just to be mystified What I can do is just write about love With words I can't speak in front of you Tore up the pages that I filled with words And threw into the night, And they’re gone in the mist

Don’t let me be a poor and helpless one Don’t make me feel like a shivering scared one What was right? Now I'm left with this 13 inches monitor Drink a glass of water, turn off the light, Drift into the dream I saw their smile which I’ve never seen before I saw their words which I’ve never heard from them What’s going on? The world seems strange through this 13 inches monitor Drink a glass of water, turn off the light, Drift into the dream What was right? Now I'm left with this 13 inches monitor Drink a glass of water, turn off the light Drift into the dream Why do you feel like connected to the world? Why do I feel like connected to your sight?

I was just getting out from that back door To the rain outside, to the cold night The pride ate you up, and it froze up all your heart Are you feeling these raindrops? Do you feel it? I could never really be grown up In that way, some people told me I could never really understand What I'm doing wrong, like you said You always know you’re right I could never really be grown up In that way, some people told me I could never really be understood From those people trying to teach me the way You always know you’re right But I’m not going to follow your way The fear grinds you up, and now you’re gone

I’ve kept passing by, casting down my eyes Tried to pretend I don’t know anything But I realized, To my heart’s content, Just like a new born child I realized, To my heart’s content, Just like years ago Although I knew that there's a vernal hope outside Stuck in the trench I made, shaking before the leap But I realized, To my heart’s content, Just like a new born child I realized, To my heart’s content, Just like years ago

Countless stains on the wall start to peel off Colors of the void, they're faint and reckless Shine, just breaking off Sounds, just leaking out Oh dear, why is it over? Oh dear, when is it over? Revival of recognition, It’s taking over Afterglow of penetration, that’s what we’re waiting for Shine, just breaking off Sounds, just leaking out Oh dear, why is it over? Oh dear, when is it over?

October 02:36
Walking through woodlands, all yellow Little early to lift up the collar Faded old pictures ended up with misnomer Swinging with the mildest zephyr Too early for Indian summer While the west wind blows I’ve got to go I saw the light, Golden light, That was the sunlight of rapture Makes me blind until it gets dark I saw the light, Golden light, I was in the silence and couldn't close my eyes Breathe in the air of sweet October Melting into sweet surrender Thinking of how are you feeling in this sweet season Time squeezes me in the sense of wonder In the golden field, I saw a gossamer Under the pale blue sky, I’ve got to go I saw the light, Golden light, That was the sunlight of rapture Makes me blind until it gets dark I saw the light, Golden light, I was in the silence and couldn't close my eyes Since my love starts to get deeper Deciduous trees start to turn to faint red Hope to keep sleeping in this mellow daydream longer Autumn leaves are whirling tender The golden shine makes me a stranger Before the moon starts to glow I’ve got to go
