She and I... (For the Sweetest Stranger)

I'm gonna fall down on her lap,
She's gonna close me up like a book,
And cradle me in her arms,
Kiss me or hate me, love me or kill me,
Do your worst I cannot be harmed,
'Cause when she looks upon me,
I drift away into her eyes,
Like smoke going up and vanishing into the open skies,

She and I are like the ocean and the river,
All the time I hear her call,
I run to her over the rocks,
And rush to her over waterfalls,

She and I are like the night and the star,
Though we're not quite the same thing,
We're never apart,
She's the light that keeps me company,
Throughout the dark,

I'm just another rebel without a cause,
Without a home, with greasy hair and torn jeans,
She, just another crownless beauty queen,
And together we're fools, chasing after,
Broken dreams.

She and I are like the ocean and the river,

All the time I hear her call,

I run to her over the rocks,

And rush to her over waterfalls,

She and I are like the night and the star,

Though we're not quite the same thing,

We're never apart,

She's the light that keeps me company,

Throughout the dark,

She runs my soul into the ground,
I, at times let her down,
But we always stay around,

She and I are like oil and water,
We may not get on to well,
But we've seen each other through heaven and hell,
Always together,
And that's how it will be forever,

She and I are like the ocean and the river,

All the time I hear her call,

I run to her over the rocks,

And rush to her over waterfalls,

She and I are like the night and the star,

Though we're not quite the same thing,

We're never apart,

She's the light that keeps me company,

Throughout the dark,

Freedom

Need I be shaking,
The air is a-breaking,
Love is a-quaking,
Yet legs are strangely numb,

Going up north,
Or heading down south,
It's all the same breeze,,
For it is blown, by the same mouth,

And you can see it in the pastures,
You can feel it in the fields,
You can taste it in a maiden's rose,
You can hear it in the lovers sigh,
You can touch it all around,

The ancient word the world has spoken,
Since made, it was,
Freedom, freedom.

So gather round all ye rebels and scoundrels,
All ye proud and kind souls,
And heed the words I speak,
None of you will ever outrun death,
It's coming for us all, with light feet
And with righteous will,
So stand up for all the times, both good and bad,
You can stay or tread off the track,
Just shout back,

As you see it in the pastures,

And feel it on the fields,

And taste it in a maiden's rose,

As you hear it in the lovers sigh,

And touch it all around,

Freedom, freedom.

As Shadows Call

I see the dark,
Leaving a mark,
On the face of my heart,
As shadows call,

Come the morrow,
The bittersweet sorrow,
Deep within will follow,
As shadows call,

I feel,
Darkness hooking me real,
Tigh and it reels me in,
I was lost, I was found,
Now I'm lost all over again,
Like ashes scattered to the four winds,

My mind wanders,
Trying to find the answers,
To questions passing by, like drifters,
As shadows call,

I'm in a trance and,
Memories are dancing,
And would've's and should've's a-prancing,
As shadows call,

I feel,

Darkness hooking me real,

Tigh and it reels me in,

I was lost, I was found,

Now I'm lost all over again,

Like ashes scattered to the four winds,

When the night sets on all that was good and bright,
I desperately cling to that faint hope that some shred of light,
Will appear and be my guide through this maze,
And take me far away from this place,

I feel,

Darkness hooking me real,

Tigh and it reels me in,

I was lost, I was found,

Now I'm lost all over again,

Like ashes scattered to the four winds,
As shadows call.
