Dm tuning, capo 3What am I, a diamond in the sky
What are you to me, my loveI stand to the air
For I’m shy of the earth
What did he tell you
the day of your birthThe men that came to you
did they see, did they see
The men that came to you
did they see
their line in historyFor the man who can not see
he loses sight
But knows all is he
For the man who feels no pain
he’s told he will not walk again
Help her rise to thee
don't hold her down Lord
It's not what she needs
Bless her with a blanket
a blanket safe and soundIf the black hole
pulls you down
But the black star
is all around
an opening
in the portal can be foundSometimes you have to let go
Black star on the radio -

You asked me what brings me happiness I didn't have to think, I know the list You put others first That brings you life
It made think I've been out of reach in a box and not complete I've closed off parts of me Love's fallen down, down, down
When will you love yourself again When will you love yourself again It's been too long Since you were home where you belong It's been too long since you were home where you belong where you belong
You're someone I did not expect full of kindness of intellect I've been working hard to protect my heart I want a new start
It's frightening to be seen all those little parts of me I want to feel at ease But I don't believe You could love me
When will you love yourself again When will you love yourself again It's been too long Since you were home where you belong It's been too long since you were home where you belong where you belong
I want you to know that you are safe with me I want you to know I have your back I want you know you can relax with me I want you to know you can come home You can home with me home with me home with me Come home Come home Come home Come home
I want you to know I respect you I want you to know I accept all parts of you I want you to know I won't neglect you I want you to that I love you just for you
Come home Come home Come home Come home

D tuning, capo 3I'm at that stage again
where pleasure is pain again
And it's a sign of change to come
my body is moving onI pray everyday
I dream everyday
But love I'm tired now
I must be on my wayI still say your name in game
I think of you every day
In blue, I'd do anything for you
but I must be on my way
Love I must be on my way
love I must be on my waySometimes I want you to hold me
and take me once again
But when I'm around you I have control
it doesn't make any sense
Because I know, yes I know
yes I knowAnd I pray every day
I dream every day
and I pray, I pray every dayOh in blue, well I can see through
I know in truth
Yes I know, yes I know
yes I know! -

There's a young boy inside of you
he's hurting like I'm hurting too
He's built up those walls outside of you
you don't know what's true
And I hate to break your fun
but the drugs won't heal you son
Dig down deep to your fathers roots
that's where you'll find your truth
You're a giver of time
you're a giver of your mind
You're a giver of good measure
you're a giver of good pleasure
There's a young boy, he knows what to do
he's the kind and good part of you
And he's hidden behind your darkest days
but he's here to stay
You can take steps one by one
and you just might find him son
He's not like any other
holds the kindness of his mother
You're a giver of time
you're a giver of your mind
You're a giver of good measure
you're a giver of good pleasure
I know I told you about my dreams
I don't always know what they mean
When that young boy came to me
his sadness was all I could see
I'm a triceratops
and I've learned when to stop
You have pink and purple dots
and we are friends
There's a young boy inside of you
he's hurting like I'm hurting too
And I'm here to love that part of you
But I'll never, I'll never love what you do

D tuning, no capoI once said to a dear friend
her hair dark and long
That I would one day break a man's heart
break it, and be strongThere was a darkness
in the light of my heart
There was a darkness
in the need to feel loved
But having a plan
never goes to plan
Now I am the one in the darkLove it was supposed to be me
love it was supposed to be me
I was the one who was supposed to be free
I was the one who was supposed to leave thee
I was the oneMaybe I said it too loud
and cursed intuition
Maybe I said it too proud
and caused evolutionEvolution
rumination
Rumination
self violationPleasure now for me is pain
I can not feel the same
I can not feel the same without you
Pleasure now for me is pain
I can not feel the same
I can not feel the same without youCos you are the angel of my heart
You are the angel of my heart
You are the angel of my heart
You are the angel of my heart -

The blocks in the hallway

You helped changed my mind on it allI can get up and go

If I knew telling you would have changed our world I would have tried to review just a little bit longer cos you are renewed and I feel alive We would play and relay all through the night
I get down on my knees but it's not to please you
cos it's time to release and make amends
It's a Halloween dream with a Hunter's moon
and you're hiding from your cougar friend
It's a lonely world out there in the hunting planes
I never took you for a ghost
I'm running wild with the hurt and pain
You're not a fool or a ghoul, you're just a little bit lost
Our love is sweet, it's bright like the sun
but I refuse to believe you're more special than me
We both overthink, we both people please
Our love is fun, we’re bright like the sun
I want a pink dalmatian and a pick up truck
I want a pink carnation but I'm shit out of luck
I know things got intense when I told you how I feel
it's just a little too real, for our barbie world
It's a lonely world out there in the hunting planes
I never took you for a ghost
I'm running wild with the hurt and pain
I'll drive myself to the grave, by reliving doing wrong
I keep myself feeling sane, by singing We belong
You're not a fool or a ghoul, you're just a little bit lost

Standard tuning, capo 2I never meant
To fall again
But I did for you my friend
But you can’t give
me what I want
To give you
But it’s ok, I don’t mind
We will find, why we’re here
And it’s ok, I don’t mind
I need to find another out thereBut we’re here right now
We’re here right now
We’re here right now
We’re here right now
And you, have my heartI never wanted someone new
But then I saw you
And in your eyes
I could see you had something to give me
It’s ok I understand
That you can’t take my hand
It’s ok I understand
That this is
Not what we had plannedBut we’re here right now
We’re here right now
We’re here right now
We’re here right now
And I, don’t have your heart(Instrumental)
But it’s ok, I don’t mind
And it’s ok, I understand
And it’s ok, I don’t mind
That I don’t have yours
But you know that you have mine -

I sit here and try to remember why You couldn't find the strength to defy the odds
Love I don't judge I never would But true to being true I know that we could make it
I know we could I know we could I know we could
But I'm at a point in my life where no man will bring me down again I'm at a point in my life where no man can bring me down
Cos I'm too strong now and there's too far to fall And I don't know you well but I know I can tell that love, I know we could
And it saddens me because I know what we had It saddens me because I know it's too bad but love, I have to let you go
I don't need your love I don't need your love but if I have to be true, and I want to be true
I tell you, I tell you I want you, I do

D tuning, capo 2I, I surrender
I walk out the door
I give it over
I can't take it anymoreLove it's been a long year
it hasn't even been a year
We've been through so much my dear
I'll always be hereWe walk through the doors
our guides standing near
The way is clear
I have no fearIn golden light, I surrender
in gold, in golden light
I surrenderI stand at the mountain and I see afar
I could run for miles and know where you are
in this golden haze and the ochre glazeLove I am free and I stand for me
Love I've been freed

D tuning, capo 1I wish you’d see me on the days I look nice
and I would not act strange
Surprise me on the days I feel good
and I would act as I should
But you stop by as you please
And I am never at easeI wish that I knew what to say to you
there’s so much that I’d like to say
I wish I still knew how to play with you
cos that used to brighten my day
But my heart beats too strong
and everything comes out wrongOh my dear, I’m trying hard to find
why you’re still here in my lifeI wish you still wanted to know me
there’s so much more to know
And I wish you still wanted to share
the things of which you care
And why is it that I still feel this way
when so much for you has changed
I wish that I knew why I’m holding on
cos really I’m happy aloneBut there’s so much more that I feel
It’s whether it’s there and it’s real
There’s so much more that I feel
It’s whether it’s there and it’s realOh my dear, I’m trying hard to find
why you’re still here in my life
Oh my dear, I’m trying hard to find
why you’re still here in my life

Dm tuning, capo 5Take me to the mountain
take me far away from here
Let me see what lies beneath me
let me see what lies beneath the sea
What are you to me?I don't want to die
a lonely artist
I don't want to die
with pain in my heart
I don't want to die
unhealed, unfulfilled
I don't want to die
without feeling love
I sacrificed a cup of my blood
I stand up and rise
to art and to loveNot one without the other
Lord, I don't want to die aloneIntuition is handed to me on a plate
will you feast upon it
before it's too late
You've been chasing your tail
by chasing fate
Now supper is served
I insist, don't be lateAll the pressure upon us
Lord, lord, lord, lord, lord I don't want to die aloneI don't want to dwell
in this wishing well
And I don't want to dwell
in this wishing well
And I don't want to get
stuck in this.....Row row your boat
Gently to the sea
Merrily, merrily
Life is but a dreamAhh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

D tuning, capo 7Oberon, Oberon, where have you been?
You stand up to wake yourself
out of that sleep
I know our love is one
when I'm done with me
True love will wake you up
when you're out at seaSometimes I wonder
how you keep moving on
Sometimes I wonder
OberonYou are the strong mind
I am the heart
together we make
it work into the dark
I am the circle
You are the arrow
but love, you're not an ass
but I am the sparrow(instrumental)
Oberon, Oberon, where have you been?
I'm trying to wake myself
out of this dream
I know my heart's
true desire for theeOberon, I know
you're out at sea
But Oberon, you are the king of the earth (you are the king)
and I am the queenOberon, Oberon, Oberon, Oberon....

I thought that you were one for me
I thought that you were somebody different
Mmm mmm mmm
I thought that you were wild and free
I thought that you were just like me
I thought that we had found something
Something different
I thought that you were wise
I thought that you were kind
I thought that you were wise
I thought that you were kind
No relationship is easy
everybody has their choice
Will you stand still enough to listen
will you be brave enough to have your voice
I can't imagine you leaving
putting all this behind
I understand the complications
back and forth inside your mind
I thought that you were wise
I thought that you were kind
I thought that you were wise
I thought that you were kind
It’s not time to say goodbye
It’s not time to say goodbye
It’s not time to say goodbye
It’s not time
It’s not time to say goodbye
It’s not time to say goodbye
It’s not time to say goodbye
It’s not time

Pleasing people causes further pain
Is there hope beyond the mountain
Is a rainbow after rain

G tuning, capo 2Maybe you're my teacher
maybe I'm just a preacher
Right now I could hit you in the face
maybe you're just teaching me some grace
Maybe you're just teaching me to paceI believe in the stars above
that means I believe in our love
But I need you to bring me down to earth
there will be no love until I've learnedI've been searching high and searching low
I even tried my best to let you go
But I can say I already know
but that don't mean no shit until I grow
And that don't mean no shit until you showAnd if you're gonna test the water
are you messing with the mortar
And if you're gonna tip the boat
Are you gonna sink or will you learn to float?
Are you gonna sink or will you learn to float?I believe in the stars above
that means I believe in your love
And they may say they already know
but I wanna know if it's really set in stoneI wanna know if it's really set in stone
I wanna know if it's really set in stone
Cos I want it to be set in stone -

Star of the sea
Send love afar
send loving light
To my loves so dear
on this Christmas night
A star is born
a light is laid
Upon the land
until evening fades
Star of the sea
star of the sea
Holding the yellow light for thee
Star of the sea
star of the sea
Holding the yellow light
Where midnight skies
meet inky seas
And golden homes
beyond the trees
This tiny world
though big it seems
We're all a part
of this Christmas dream
Star of the sea

Holding the yellow light for thee

Things have changed
they’re not the same
things have changed
Holding on
will do you harm
holding on
So go be free
from me my dear
go seek what you need
And I’ll be free when standing here
I’m not what you need
Times were low
and we felt alone
we were not alone
We grew strong
and you found your home
here inside my home
I was wrong
but I’m moving on
and soon I’ll be gone
So go be free
from me my dear
go seek what you need
And I’ll be free
when leaving here
I’m not what you need
Cos you do what you do
what you know is true
you do what you do for you
and you…

Dm tuning, capo 5I don't know you
if I don't know me
I can't find you
if I can’t find me
How can I love you
if I don’t love me
I don't know you
if I don't know me
I could fall at the mountains
and cry for my child....
Or I could let this idea go
It's gone
It's gone
It's goneWhen the clouds part
I can see her there
She is naked
with long blonde hair
And I love her
I love what she says
She is naked
without a careAnd she dances
around the room
And she sings
she's my everything
MmmmmShe picks up a paint brush
and layer by layer she grows
She paints me a picture
of a Venus who knows
I can see her
But she doesn’t see me
I could be her
But she doesn’t know meWhat is love
if I don't mean yes
What is no
if I don't mean YES -

get my feet back on the ground
I won’t be a stranger
and I'll be thinking about you boyMy life is rosy, Lord knows my life is good
and ever since you kissed me
I knew you understood
everything about me
just by looking in your eyesAnd in time, in time
You'll still be that dear love of mineI don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'll be
I'm yet to cross that bridge
get that water under me
I don't know where I'm going
but my heart will skip a beatAnd when I'm a walking
and a wandering down the road
I'll hold you in my thoughts
even when I'm growing old
Cos you are the man I want
you are the man I loveAnd you know
where ever you go
My heart will live
the tale we've told
And when I'm with
another man
My heart will be theirs
and I will be true
But I'll still long for you!I'm a going, I'm leaving London town
I'm off to catch my dreams
Get my feet back on the ground
I might be a strangerbut I'll be thinking about you boy
And in time, in time, in time....(Instrumental)
