Art of Bell - Aramis 83

There's a place I know of in the western state Lost to any map that you can find Streets are made of cobble getting older Houses fade like coal after a fire I don't know where I'm going Somewhere I don't need to have a plan I don't know who I'm fighting now Anyone who falls across my hand Say no more, I'm gone And who is emptier than who? Still you're waiting there against the black Just to see me coming back But I don't think I'm likely to do that I'm gonna be so different if you find me You wont even realise I'm your man Slow and sure the coast will redefine me Turn me into sycamore and sand I don't know where I'm going Somewhere where the water meets the land I don't know why your troubling now Nobody can change who I now am Say no more, I'm gone And who is emptier than who? Still you're waiting there against the black Just to see me coming back But I don't think I'm likely to do that No I don't think I'm likely to do that

Noone's ever coming round here no not ever anymore Rapping on the window or a'knocking on the kitchen door Noone's really taking any trouble like I used to see People dropping by as if the twilight was an amnesty Saying this is harder than I ever thought was possible Can't hide it anymore because the truth is indestructible Wear it like a sickness that I didn't catch too easily Like I'm waiting till someone with a shovel comes to bury me Silence has got to be broken Sleeping and then you are woken Eyes come open to see Something has got to be spoken Everything must be forsaken You' ve been taken From me Free you But I can't free you No I can't free you Whatever I do Have you ever suffered through the days of summer lost in blue Hoping that the one thing that you need will heed and come to you Watching as the clock forgets and drops its sense of courtesy Listening to songs that once were friends but now are enemies Silence has got to be broken Sleeping and then you are woken Eyes come open to see Something has got to be spoken Everything must be forsaken You' ve been taken From me Free you But I can't free you No I can't free you Whatever I do

Ever since I can remember Chasing love was just a way of spending time Until you came around, in you I found a shelter No need for me to fight the great desire I lost myself in your mesmerizing smile Tried to get your full attention You diminished all the tension in me With nothing more to say Here comes the rain The never ending flood River of burning hope inside you No need to be afraid Here comes the rain To wash away the stain Takes away every doubt inside you No need to fight it back Here comes the rain Filling you up with hope Here comes the rain Opening up your soul Here comes the rain Can't image all the days I hunted what I thought was love But I was wrong, illusionized You made me recall, why The chasing is a try to seal the hole You healed the emptiness inside of me You erased my false intentions You diminished all the tension in me With nothing more to say Here comes the rain The never ending flood River of burning hope inside you No need to be afraid Here comes the rain To wash away the stain Takes away every doubt inside you No need to fight it back Here comes the rain Filling you up with hope Here comes the rain Opening up your soul Here comes the rain Together we defeat every threat Making movements we'll never forget I'm safe under your shield Living fantasy

I've these dreams I'm Walking home Home when it used to be And everything is As it was Frozen in front of me Here I stand Six feet small Romanticizing years ago It's a bitter sweet feeling hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the Radio And these days I wish I was 6 again Oh make me a red cape I wanna be Superman Oh, if only my life was more like 1983 All these things would be more like they were at the Start of me Had it made in 83 Thinking bout my brother Ben I miss him every day He looks just like his brother John But on an 18 month delay Here I stand 6 feet small And smiling cause I'm scared as hell Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie Where the actor's names have changed Well, well these days I wish I was six again Oh make me a red cape I wanna be Superman Oh, if only my life was more like 1983 All these things would be more like they were at the Start of me If my life was more like 1983 I'd plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me And most my memories Have escaped me Or confused themselves with dreams If heaven's all we want it to be Send your prayers to me Care of 1983 You can paint that house a rainbow of colors Rip out the floorboards Replace the shutters but That's my plastic in the dirt Whatever happened to my Whatever happened to my Whatever happened to my lunchbox When came the day that it got Thrown away and don't you think I should have had some say In that decision If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life

First time I ever put that jersey on It fit me like a glove and all my nerves were gone Underneath those Friday night lights was where I was meant to be I can still hear mama screamin that's my boy number eighty-three We didn't win too many games that year Two or three if memory serves me right But I learned so many lessons Underneath those stadium lights Yeah to most it was just a number a way to tell us boys apart But t me it was my pride and joy where id leave my mark The only place on earth where I felt free Was standing out there on that fifty yard like Wearing number eighty three These days I traded in that jersey for this old guitar Singing my songs on the blvd Yeah the lights have changed to neon but that's alright with me Standing up here singing songs about being free To some im just a dreamer bangin on an old guitar But to me this is my pride and joy, where I pour out my heart The only place on earth where I feel free Is standing up here underneath these lights Singing through these six string To some I'm just a dreamer bangin on an old guitar But to me this is my pride and joy where I pour out my heart The only place on earth where I feel free Standing up here underneath these lights Yall singing back to me Whoooaa Whoooaa Whoooaaa... Whoooaa Whoooaa Whoooaaa...
