THE ONLY ONE

I need that memory to surface from the sea
of days and miracles I've never seen
and once again my mind is empty,
there's room enough for you
to let coincidences happen a-new.

I'm the only one
who's had enough of hell and paradise on earth
of all the things that come not to last,
I'm the only one left.

here comes december, twelve odd years elapsed
the curve of destiny and hope is straight
pointing like an arrow towards you now
so I see where I'm going, but I don't know how

I'm the only one
who's had enough of hell and paradise on earth
of all the things that come not to last,
I'm the only one left.

IN A GREAT BALL OF FIRE

look at the colours, look at the sea
tomorrow we'll write a piece of poetry
and if you look on the left side of a dream
you'll recognize our ghosts breakin free

and yes I remember, I'm used to it
I remember, in the perfection of sunset
everything is shown for what it is

it wasn't destiny or chance that made us who we are
it was all because of God's mistakes

look at the colours beyond this glass
look at the heavens that never rest
another breath you draw will shred no cloud
and stop no dawn

(this is for my best friend, but she doesn't know)
