When you hear me calling at your window
Can't you hear me crying?
When you hear me calling out your name
Can't you hear me crying?
Oh, but when you walk besides me
I hear you crying too.
Can't you hear me crying?
Listen:
Darling, I can show you.
Take my hand.
Hold me tighter...

I think I'm nothing
Who do you want from me?
-
'Cause I miss what I thought this was
And now we've lost the time of peace.
I know we can build it back
But you know how hard it can be.
Watch out:
I don't know myself
But I know what you want from me.
Darling, since I met you,
You know, since the first day,
You knew better than a broken heart
No matter what you had to say.
I need you, honey, like you need me.
Oh, but lately I'm just not myself
And when I am it's plain to see:
I'm nothing.
Who do you want me to be, now?

When I look to you
You look back at me:
Who do you see?
When you hold me you say:
"You don't have to worry."
Well, my love,
That's as may be.
But I can't close my worried mind.
And I can't do nothing but pass the time.
The minutes counting down,
Down, down...
When they go I hear no sound.
Darling, I've been running so long,
My feet might fail beneath me.
Still you say:
"You can walk with me."
The time to go is coming near.
Won't you tell me what might I find
At the summit of your fears.
It's coming closer day by day...
Oh, won't you tell me what to say?
Take me to the garden, tell me:
"Who do you see?
"The man who stands before you
"Or who you think he can be?"
Can we go on this way
When you tell me what to say?
Tell me what to say...
Twenty years of living
Really isn't so much time.
But a thousand years go past me
When you cross my mind.
Listen to me love:
Leave me be.
You will know I set you free.

Nothing in this world is sacred.
But nothing can turn my eyes away from you.
Hold me close and I will kiss you softly.
Before the time to go is here I need
Another chance to love you madly.
Emily...
How fair,
How good it is to know you love me.
The gaze you cast into me can reach
For miles behind my tears.
How sad,
How pitiful it is to feel you leave me.
Oh, but look me in the eyes and tell me
If it's only that this love is well beyond our years.
Well I think you know the answer, too!
Plenty of fish in the sea.
Nothing is good if it can no longer be.
I must have been a fool
To chase the one who was bound to leave.
Depression, bind my heart again
And I'll no longer dream!
Of Emily...
I lay alone in bed
My mind just rolling.
The memories I hold of you
Are gonna chase me down to my grave.
My dreams of loving you no more
Are gone and broken.
But if I must go on without you
Is the world worth a fight to save?
What's done is done,
But I will always love you.
Emily.

Listen to the Wind Blow

Half moon rises at the break of noon
To challenge the day, herald the dusk.
Clouds of thunder blanket the nighttime sky,
Blanket the stars in a heavenly grey.
Well, all I have to say is:
Four years gone with nothing to show.
What good has it done?
I have no place left to go.
Won't you tell me:
What is left for me?
Oh, when I have nothing left to live for
I put my head to the curtain and
Listen to the wind blow.

Movement One: "Love Can Set You"
Champagne, cocaine,
It a'int nothing like your love!
You know I flew so very high
When you looked down from above.
Now you got me
Sleeping in the morning,
Dreaming all the afternoon.
'Cause when I got you in my dreams
There a'int no more missing you.
They tell you "Life is easy
"When your eyes don't see
"What this world can be."
I'm so sorry if you read me wrong.
You know by now
You can show me how
Only love can set you free.
Love can set you free...
Movement Two: "In the End"
Won't you tell me, baby?
You keep me wondering why
Our love can't touch the sky
Together.
When you call my name
I feel you hold my chain
It all feels like pain
In the end.
Watch out:
There will come a time
When some may see it as drowning,
But it sets you free.
When you fight the river
The waves start crashing.
If ahead you lies a wake
You have yet to reach the end.
When you too will know that
Love is one with all in the end.
In the end...
Movement three: "Adoration of the Land of Plenty"
The land of the free,
The home of the blue,
Praise be!
Glory to the auto,
Glory to the industry.
Have you found the peace you're after
Now the war a'int on TV?
Is this heaven on earth
When it's only what you see?
Where do you run to
If the river's running black?
Upon these streams of asphalt
There a'int no turning back.
Tell me:
Where do you go
If the flames should chase you down?
If they reach my doorstep,
Ashes make no sound.
Movement Four: "Love Can Set You Free"
Bodies burning.
Napalm falling oh so free.
Well, as I stare into the valley
I ask myself,
"Is this the way it has to be?"
Could the love we need so badly
Be waiting all around our hearts?
Close your eyes and drop the curtains:
What you feel is just the start.
