I sail away sometimes on borrowed time Pen to paper write another line to the story Moving pictures circle in my mind But you are more than just another line in my story Might be my hand that writes the words Your inspiration makes it worth my time To write That line Sleepless nights Silver lights When I am blind you are the torch that lights my way When it aint right Every time You take my words and you help them to rhyme And when I play There is no pain Each page is just a chance to start again The melodies Just come to me The magic’s stronger than I thought it ever could be Situations Conversations I listen to every word that is said Love relations Love complications But it’s the music that makes it alright in the end Celebrations Consolations The magic it will always light my way Condemnations Heartbreak stations I will play my six string till my dying day Every one of you has a place in my heart Until the day I write the very last line in my story But I pray that is a while away Until then I hope you’ll ride this journey with me Through the laughter through the cryin’ Rock n Roll until we die one night There will be One more line

Time stands still The wizard’s will Is written in the stars Setting sun His will be done Have you traveled far Wishing well The gates of hell Path to your final day Before you leave Have these wishes three Let conscience light the way And when the final curtain’s coming down Will you swim or will you sink and drown Will the feather weighed against your heart Or will you need the flight of the dragon The cavern hides In the mountain’s lies Is the wisdom that you seek The wizard takes your power By the ticking hours Your magic sword is weak A misty haze Of his wicked gaze He takes you by surprise Can’t see at all Still the dragon calls So use your inner eye And when the final curtain’s coming down Will you swim or will you sink and drown Will the feather weighed against your heart Or will you need the flight of the dragon You might be blind But you will find The dragon still can see Use his sight He takes flight Says tonight you fly with me On the wizard’s tower At the witching hour The battle cry will sound The flames fly higher Wizards funeral pyre The dragon brings him down And when the final curtain’s coming down Will you swim or will you sink and drown Will the feather weighed against your heart Or will you need the flight of the dragon

She was a Rainbow Maiden No Evil flickered in her eyes It was written she had forsaken To this I will not testify When the wind brings the sound, the children gather round They listen to her stories her tales of old And I watch her from afar, an angel of my heart A spirit pure both body and soul A family wept with joy as she healed their dying boy With a smile and a magic spell And when her trial brought the tears, she said don’t cry for me Know I only wish you well She was a Rainbow Maiden But she was tried as a witch of evil She did not bring the devil’s fornication She whispered and I believe her When the wind brings the sound, the children gather round They listen to her stories her tales of old And I watch her from afar, an angel of my heart A spirit pure both body and soul A family wept with joy as she healed their dying boy With a smile and a magic spell And when her trial brought the tears, she said don’t cry for me Know I only wish you well She was a Rainbow Maiden They tortured her she made no prayer or cry She knew her soul it needed no saving Her tears fell silently the flames rose high When the wind brings the sound, the children gather round They listen to her stories her tales of old And I watch her from afar, an angel of my heart A spirit pure both body and soul A family wept with joy as she healed their dying boy With a smile and a magic spell And when her trial brought the tears, she said don’t cry for me Know I only wish you well

I said I loved you yesterday It always works out this way And now I’ve hurt you somehow Why can’t you look at me now I can’t apologise if I can’t see how I’m wrong in your eyes And I can’t make it right if you won’t tell me tonight I used to make you smile what’s changed this whilie And now I don’t know why you can’t even say hello Why can’t you say hello I just go from day to day The months the years they slip away At night sometimes I wonder why I’m not alright but I get by I can’t apologise if I can’t see how I’m wrong in your eyes And I can’t make it right if you won’t tell me tonight I used to make you smile what’s changed this whilie And now I don’t know why you can’t even say hello Why can’t you say hello Why can’t you say hello Why can’t you say hello Oh I used to pray, that you wouldn’t go And I used to say, that I loved you so Oh I used to dream, of holding you close And I thought that was what mattered the most

Hayley 03:22
Oh sweet silence Ride the pain to the other side I can’t deny this Oh there is pain on the other side I feel the sting Of every cut that she’s placing The hurt that it brings To think what she’s facing And I know her tears are falling tonight Because I can’t listen to my heart And see the light In the cold night I long just to hold her But we are miles away I long to console her And promise her that I will stay But my own shadow of fear A fear of a past The wounds may have healed But the scars they will last And I wish I could say I loved her tonight Maybe that’s what’s in my heart But the demons And their reasons Do you remember the story I was never the prince I always favoured the dragon But this time the thorns come from within

I’ve been shot down, kicked to the ground With fractured wings, playing on broken strings The days are long, now the dream is gone Will the magic fade, now I’ve lost my way I don’t believe you’re lost inside No false messiah will be your guide Maybe you’re down but you’re still alive It may take some time but you’ll survive Who are the ghosts inside my head, inside my head who want me dead Where is the fire where is the flame, where is the flame to light my way I’ll fight the ghosts inside your head, inside your head who want you dead I’ll be the fire I’ll be the flame, I’ll be the flame to light your way Now I don’t believe and I can’t see The words are outta time the chords are outta key I can’t fight the pain that won’t leave me be But it’s my own mind that tortures me I’ll help you face what tortures you Because you need the songs and they need you You don’t have to take the hurt alone Together we are strong search your heart and soul I’m here to compromise you My eyes will hypnotise you Twist the knife inside you Away my wings will take you Your pain your love forsake you Entwine your mind and complicate you You wound but you can’t kill the love I’m a six string soldier, flesh and blood The rainbow rises from above The line where horizon meets the sky The witch her scripture tells me why The rainbow will be your demise I stand alone the last in line To change the path and halt the hands of time Our fates were destined to intertwine You’re not alone we stand tonight As one voice to make it right Give words to those who’ve lost their light I can’t just turn my back and run The fire in this heart still burns And I’ll stand and face the rising sun Late nights Stage lights I play the riff that takes me home The love For those words The lines I wrote so long ago My mind Your guide You were the light I followed home Through tears Now I see That you never let me feel alone
