Lyrix
As the lights grow lower
and the road goes on and on
when time grows slower
and the nights get longer
when all the saints and satans
are waitin' for you there
its like a month of sunshine
all the while
as you smile
o baby
how do you do the things
you do the things
o baby
how do you do the things
you do the things
o baby
how do you do the things
you do the things you do?
thru moon-draped midnites
an evil evening closes in upon me
she's been mixin' up the moonbeams
to hurl like pearl with glee
when all the saints and satans
are waitin' right there
its like a month of sunshine
all the while
as you smile
(chorus)
as the nights get longer
and the road goes on and on
when time goes slower
and the lights grow lower
when all the saints and satans
are waitin' right there
its like a month of sunshine
all the while
as you smile
cellophane seraphim in the night
grecian venuses and martian heights
i came upon a maiden in despair
where arcadian comfort ruled the air
singing in a silver, sylvan glade
a questing, jesting troubadour
a jesting, questing troubadour
a questing, jesting troubadour
in realms of deeply felt poesy
torturing my mindless mind with glee
scorched me in my slashing minstrelsy
a questing, jesting troubadour
a jesting, questing troubadour
a questing, jesting troubadour
just a hymn for one so slim
like a cellophane seraphim
grecian venuses and martian heights
cellophane seraphim in the night
singing in a silver, sylvan glade
angel, has your benediction changed?
a slimly glimmering sun
a lonely, languid little one
a questing, jesting troubadour
a jesting, questing troubadour
a questing, jesting troubadour
a jesting, questing troubadour
all right little mama, yeah!
the moon droops milkily
like the dinosaurs at dawn
beside a unicorn-born fawn
a silky citizen
from the platitudes of sleep
the Stars have glistened to their peaks
the wind sweeps glossily
`cross the windows of my love
like a frosty moon-swept dove
it's the latest haunt
of the butterflies at night
gypsied through the moon's blue light
in the darklight of a starlight's fadin'
i came upon a mellotron maiden
high are the ripped up roads that you have climbed
and strange are the stripped up songs you've rhymed
reading runes carved into the dunes of time
and rainbowing your moonstruck mind with mine
i could only call the world a poet's place
when it was a home to your gnomish face
ancient angel baby a head that gave me rest
startling gifts and fancies they possessed
proud is the cloud that you ride upon
and far is the new star of your horizon

yeah, yeah, yeah
its such a sad spectacle, babe
when you never call my name
when you never feel the same
you’re so impossibly grave
sleekly shattered
in a bleakly battered dawn
hope was ridin` on the crest of a wave
searchin` out someone to save
but you’re so impossibly grave
you’re good to behold
in gauntlets of gold
love was ridin` on the crest of a wave
searchin` out someone to save
but you’re so impossibly grave
a distinctly gnomish moment
a minaretted throne
of mixolodian minstrels
I `ve known
in life`s exquisite cave
you’re so impossibly grave
golden woman
i`m dreaming of you now
but exactly how much
you`ll never know how
life was standing at the edge of your cage
but you’re so impossibly grave
won`t somebody tell me?
o my little one?
o my little one
won't somebody tell me?
minstrels that are blue
and born to sing for you
hours that grow old
are never to grow cold
heartstrings of my soul
you made me lose control
this i know
how i need you girl
how i love you girl
how i need you girl
yeah, yeah, yeah
multi-coloured shades
of frosty, glossy glades
to my empty room
far hotter than the moon
shadows that are fleet
upon my windswept street
pelting moonbeams melt
i know just how they felt
like i feel for you
how i need you girl
how i love you girl
how i need you girl
yeah, yeah, yeah
tooting tuneful tones
on tiny tin trombones
minstrels that are blue
and you`re beautiful, too
jilting moonbeams burst
into my streams of verse
don't i know it, now?
how i need you girl
how i love you girl
how i need you girl
yeah, yeah, yeah
how i love you girl
how i need you girl
how i need you little girl
o yeah, yeah, yeah

the way you smiled

your eyes of sorrow
now close until tomorrow

meteor queene
you know we love you angel
when you turn on the world
in the morning

Saturn Children (piano version)
i see you sitting
with your bric-brac on the floor
your eyes so wide and clear
then come a knocking
must be Baby Yic-Yac at my door
one of the saturn children
another saturn child
o saturn child how you beguiled me
when we spent christmas by the sea
a month of sunlight shining on the trees
and all the saturn children
you were my saturn child
looking at the path
to get to you
what can i do?
when time is caving thru
when i saw you
i wondered aloud
who can she be?
o so free and proud
high on your roller skates of rhyme
you glide and climb
but somehow you slip through
to land on your real estate of fate
to navigate
one more point of view
remember glancing at the prancing moon?
reflected on a turquoise dune
'twas far past midnight but it seemed like noon
to all the saturn children
you were my saturn child
looking at the path
to get to you
what can i do?
when time is caving thru!
even living your life
in paradise
will end in tears
in so many years
(piano "solo!")
i see you now sitting with your bric-brac on the floor
why? i don`t have no idea!
so many knick-knacks then up come Baby Yic-Yac
right at my door
one of the saturne children
you were my saturn child
Save your love
girl you got to save your love
you have got to save your love for me
save your love
are you gonna save your love?
are you going to save your love for me?
save your love
girl you got to save your love
girl you got to save your love for me
love you so
love you so
love you so
little girl, I hope you know it
love you so
love you so
love you so
love you so
I hope I show it
yeah, yeah
really love you girl
thats no lie, baby
i'm true, babe
to you, babe
been looking for
Love's little child
in a gale that blows so wild
someday I'll find you
sitting in a land
where tangerine trees stand
for you were like
the flickering sun
that smiles the same for everyone
I'm doing all that I can do
and I know
you'll do your best, too
been passing through
the light and shade
listening to songs the sparrows made
been watching snowflakes flutter
to the ground
in a snowflake parade
been searching for
Love's little child
in gales blowing fearfully wild
someday I'll find you
in a land so mild
where emeralds lay piled

easter island mysteries
thru my life`s bleak histories
angels on the run
thru the caves of the sun
ever so moon-struck one
poems of mellifluous calm
gave to us a restful balm
distorted troubadours
scream in stripes of sunshine
very psychedelicate one
lost now in the raptures of sleep
a dreamy company you keep
of curious little singers
i love the wings they bring us
ever so moonstruck one
Like a sundial
on a diamond slab
was queen mab
in the style
of a byzantium jewel
we knew the ukulele blues
but their bell-bottom shoes
was news to me
Like a sundial
on a diamond slab
was queen Mab
in the style
of a byzantium jewel
we knew the periwinkle blues
but the creatures from the blue lagoons
was news to me
you're better than ever
Like a sundial
on a diamond slab
was queen Mab
in the style
of a byzantium jewel
we knew the ukulele blues
but the creatures from the blue lagoons
was news to me
you're better than ever
you're better than ever
there where all my daisies died
i`ll come to call eventually
they`re as olde as golden rainbows
like terrors in the mirrors
they were rubies in the rubble
my love
from a lustful, trustful creature
my heart just melts if I think of you
with so many more lines left to ink of you
i love you
i do
there where all my daisies died
i`ll come to your side
my pride
my bride
for a nameless, blameless maiden
you won`t understand what you’ve done for me
although you may have none for me
for you I’ll sing
and I’ll still bring
my love
there where all my daisies died
I`ll come to call eventually
they`re as olde as golden rainbows
like terrors in the mirrors
they were rubies in the rubble
my love
that's my life, babe
babe, that's my life
that's my life, babe
babe, that's my life
the sun was burnishing miles away
the last languishing rays of day
like a dionysion dinosaur
angel, lately when my mind's on tour
when black clouds glided down
and rain through the air did sail
o little wildwood flower
why did you go so pale?
seabirds swoop and droop their wings
while the ocean sings
i`ve been watching all these things
on a summer`s afternoon
when sunbeams gleaming threw
their light upon the dale
you smiled wildwood flower
but still you were so frail
last night i was dreaming of
a white turtledove
singing in a scene from the light of love
on a summer`s afternoon
when black clouds glided down
singing a song called "To Your Soul"
o little wildwood flower
i've been watching children play
in the sand all day
knowing that the tide washes all away
they still will smile its okay
when sunbeams gleaming threw
their light upon the dale
you smiled wildwood flower
the daughter of the water appeared to me
and smiled strangely
the ripples on the stream came and hid her face
to dream some other place
fireflies fly through the lowering sky
as each goes by
another lights up in a sudden place
passing at it`s own pace
ancient springtime milkweeds climbed and grew
when their worlds closed made their homes anew
somewhere else they raise theirselves to view
Xanadu
when sad flutes are humming silver tunes
thunderstorm clouds may come drumming soon
touch my mind to wake me from the swoon
to Xanadu
there where mauve skies sigh and bubble
finding it was worth the trouble!
(guitar solo)
on the breeze their seeds fluttered and flew
to a day where they may bloom anew
waiting to be carried from the tomb
to Xanadu
