i) Skylight



She kneels before the grave, holding flowers frail

But still holding onto life

Placed in a vase, she has to let go

She knows how to let go



Skylight's now open to you, friend

Like a swallow you can swoop and dive

Skylight's now open to you, friend

So you can see through the window of life



So he traveled far away, passing places

Passing faces we don't know

With still so much to do

Why he left she'll never know

It seems it happened so long ago



Skylight's now open to you, friend

Like a swallow you can swoop and dive

Skylight's now open to you, friend

But I'm never gonna lose your precious heart

Now you can see through the window of life



In this dense forest of neverending darkness

I walk to the light, you walk out of sight

Then a hand reaches up to take me [to pastures new]

is here to save me



Alone in this desert, is this God's land I've heard of

I look for a place, some kind of well-known face

To take me back home [to pastures new]

Am I the last man on Earth ?

[gotta let go the real and take the unknown]



ii) Paradise Road



Walking down Paradise road

Is this a dream, a crazy dream edged with roses

Paradise road, the land of milk and honey

Or the kiss of death

And people, people all around me

They're pointing to a doorway, telling me to look out



With a stroke, one blinding stroke, the scythe sweeps the land

The millions fall to their knees and finally set free

Might magic fireflies you glow so bright and will not fade away

Is that you, is that really you ?

On Paradise road you're never alone

Welcome to the crazy world, welcome to the show that never ends



Join me here

It's taken many years to see your face again

I can hold you, feel you, the real you

I remember your hands, your eyes light shot diamonds



Skylight's now open to you, friend

Like a swallow you can swoop and dive

But I'm never gonna lose your precious heart

And the fight that we fight and we know we'll be right in the end



Skylight's now open to you, friend

Like a swallow you can swoop and dive

But I'm never gonna lose your precious heart

And the fight that we fight and we know we'll be right in the end
