1. circle slide
2. if i had a yard
3. a sentimental song
4. merciful eyes
5. tear for tear
6. about love
7. blue skies
8. laugh loop
9. restore my soul
imagine one perfect circle
above the stratosphere
where lovers hide away
and children cheer
because the ground has melted
where the devil stood
never mind the carnival
in your old neighborhood
chorus
come on let's ride
the circle slide
come on let's ride, ride
the circle slide
around my neck against my heart
i wear a wooden cross
and sometimes i remember
what freedom cost
shake off your golden shackles
children of time no more
consider now the crimson crown
the Man of Sorrows wore
chorus
i know it's hard to imagine
when someone makes you cry
fire in the heavens
and laughter in the sky
just let the wind blow through your spirit
let the sun shine on your face
let's look into each others eyes
and sing Amazing Grace
chorus
if i had a yard
i would play in it
we could play in it
if we had a yard...
on a sunny day
i would play croquet
in the early spring
you could grow green things (and purple flowers)
should the children frown
we would hose them down
if i had a yard
i would play in it
we could play in it
if we had a yard...
sleep outside at night
when the moon is bright
watch the laundry wave
dig the dog a grave (in the garden?)
drink the acid rain
til we go insane
if i had a yard
i would play in it
we could play in it
if we had a yard
if you had a yard
if i had a yard
children tremble
flowers fade so sadly
love is strange to understand
winter winds blow
does the truth seem badly
let your tears fall into my hands
let your tears fall into my hands
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know just how i feel
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
hide with me tonight
love endures the weather
let the rain make everything new
in the morning
we will dance together
let my song fall down around you
let my song fall down around you
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know just how i feel
(in my heart)
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know my love is real
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know just how i feel
(in my heart)
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know my love is real
listen closely
and i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know my heart is true
listen closely
i will sing for you
a sentimental song
and you will know how i love you...
deamon of love
seraph of treason
heaven above
show me the reason
was the ruler of darkness the angel of light
did i wake up one morning a creature of night
can a justified sinner decern wrong from right
chorus
when i turn
from your face
render mercy and grace
red blood rain
from the sky
God have merciful eyes
merciful eyes
innocent tears
day of the dancer
heaven come near
whisper the answer
did the dead man arise when she entered the room
did i smell love decaying and call it perfume
should a justified man know the grave from the womb
chorus
swear by the ghost
promises broken
baby come close
sorry works spoken
would the Spirit of Truth make a liar understand
if i reach for the blue with my face in the sand
could a justified slave call himself a free man
chorus
i see you well
but i can't tell
if you are young or old, dear
i love you so
but i don't know
if we are hot or cold here
until by death we fade
i'll try to trade you
grin for grin
and tear for tear
the taste of your sweet breath
the salt of morning tears
again i say good-bye to you
hold on tight
so good to hurt so bad
so sad to ride away renewed
go on laugh
go on cry
it's alright
there's something wonderful about love
there's something wonderful about love
there's something lost about me with you
there's something blind about the choosen few
there's something wonderful about love
was i meant to be yours
the will of Christ above
do you believe true love is blind
'cause i don't know
when i get home come spring
won't you be glad to be mine
just don't laugh
please don't cry
just say so
there's something wonderful about love
there's something wonderful about love
there's something dark about destiny
there's something blue about you with me
there's something wonderful about love
sorry to call so late
the planet turned four times
your on my mind but you're nowhere
in my world
please kiss the little bird
God bless the cozy cage we share
you kill me
you thrill me
you threaten my dreams, girl
there's something wonderful about love
there's something wonderful about love
there's something liberating death alone brings
there's something funny about a lot of sad things
there's something wonderful about love
i've got a cause i should surly defend
i hope you will agree
i've got a tire i would love to suspend
i'm searching for a tree
and i'm running down the street
but i haven't found my feet
chorus
if i close my eyes
will i see blue skies
if i close my eyes
will i find you
will i find you
i told the truth and it saved one girl's life
and then a blind man screamed
one sister saw me go under the knife
i'm glad it was a dream
and the night is nearly done
so i'm praying for the sun
chorus
i've got a cause i should surly defend
most of my friends agree
i've got a tire i would love to suspend
i think i've found a tree
but sometimes i don't see you
and i wonder what to do
chorus
instrumental
i call to you
with one lung exploded
from breathing the dust of the earth
with my tongue eroded
from licking the crust of the earth
a tear away from reconciled
a prayer away from hope
restore my soul...
i cry to you
with two eardrums blistered
from laughing with preachers of night
with my vertebrae twisted
from dancing with creatures of night
a day away from sanctified
a breath away from whole
restore my soul...
i crawl to you
with ten fingers smoking
from turning the pages of sin
with my spirit choking
from earning the wages of sin
a bridge away from justified
a step away from whole
restore my soul
