From Day To Dusk – Album Lyrics
The Blackbird’s Call
None of your kind will pass me by on the sidewalk,
just lights that burn on the midnight street
I wonder what you meant in our last talk,
and a blackbird flies over me
Trouble I’ve found after I listened
to your soothing sound that I should live free,
You’re the only thing that I’m missing
and I press my hand to cold concrete
When I close my eyes and dream, sometimes I hear the blackbird sing
When I’ve laid myself to sleep, sometimes it calls me under its coal black wings
At these ruined walls I feel you,
like we were here just a moment ago
In my place, I wonder would you too
feel that something in you is lost
When I close my eyes and dream, sometimes I hear the blackbird sing
When I’ve laid myself to sleep, sometimes it calls me under its coal black wings
What is this feeling inside some of us,
A desire to run away from everything you love,
You said there is something that I should know,
That you hear a song in the dark
And it calls to your soul
When I close my eyes and dream, sometimes I hear the blackbird sing
When I’ve laid myself to sleep, sometimes it calls me under its coal black wings
This Captive Heart Of Mine
The sharpest of all blades
For you to wield,
against my guards I’ll make,
to cut through their shields
And a hammer with a crushing blow,
from the coldest steel,
so you can break the walls of stone,
that all my life I’ve built
and
Get my heart away to you,
Get my heart away, this captive heart of mine
Get my heart away to you,
This captive heart of mine
From behind a door
that once I locked,
From the dark inside the walls,
with its broken shards,
Where it lies in chains
To which it got doomed
But it can be saved
just by you
Get my heart away to you,
Get my heart away, this captive heart of mine
Get my heart away to you,
This captive heart of mine
In Between
Ahead of steel, behind bright words,
a road was taking me to the green-eyed girl
She was out of my league and I didn’t know
where was I bound, can I get it right,
It seems to me now that the rest of my life
was a consequence of that moment
And I guess I’m supposed to be drifting around
somewhere in between, that’s where I’m bound
but I don’t mind,
I don’t mind
I don’t mind,
I don’t mind
When I climbed a mountain, they said to me
Don’t try to be what you ain’t, that’s how you should be
And the ones who made it there kept dragging me up
And I guess I’m supposed to be drifting around
somewhere in between, that’s where I’m bound
but I don’t mind,
I don’t mind
I don’t mind,
I don’t mind
For The Demon In Me
I’m going down to the bar room in
my sweet hometown, awhile it has been
Through the bar room doors I hear the jukebox play,
The same old songs take me back to the days
I wish I told you how I felt
and how much I loved you,
but I drowned it away
for the demon in me
And Now you’re gone, like my old friends
Just a deck of cards reminds me of them
It’s pouring rain on the street outside
and I wash my worries away with a glass of wine
I wish I told you how I felt
and how much I loved you,
but I drowned it away
for the demon in me
To all those years, a glass of whiskey
I’ll sit in here ’til my wounds are redeemed
But I won’t cry, that’s the way things go
Or at least I’ll try, ‘cause I miss you all
I wish I told you how I felt
and how much I loved you,
but I drowned it away
for the demon in me
The Weight
I’m searching for some hope from the times that have gone,
cause the world is coming to an end
It’ll take me, it’ll take me away
‘til I’m hard enough to move on again
Someone like you is what you seek after all,
who’ll walk with you ‘til the end,
and hold you, and hold you up
when the weight gets too much to bear
Put your weight on my shoulders,
I know that some day you’ll be stronger than me
You said that you have lost your faith in this world,
being crushed under its weight,
but I’ll keep you from falling, falling apart
until we fade away
Put your weight on my shoulders,
I know that some day you’ll be stronger than me
Put your weight on my shoulders,
I know that some day you’ll be stronger than me
A Dark Horse
The road back home, I can’t see it anymore,
Just streets full of faces I don’t know,
trying to get a fortune and spend every dime,
cause we can’t take it along, and I still ride
An illusion of freedom they sold to me,
when I was taken from my birthplace and put to work artificial things,
Like horses at the stable, free but still tied,
brown, black and white, the one you used to ride
And I ride a dark horse
And I ride a dark horse
You used to shine like the veins on the sides of rocks
that my father brought me from the mine when I was a child
He died for love, his old man for the land
What am I fighting for when there’s nothing to die for?
And I ride a dark horse
And I ride a dark horse
The halo above me didn’t shine
while the road below me brought me from the night,
I had you and I rode away
A foolish heart trying to get back to those days
And I ride a dark horse
And I ride a dark horse
And I ride a dark horse
And I ride a dark horse
My Disguise
In disguise all my life I’ve been
And a passenger every time
And there’s been one inside of me
Whispering to me: stop pretending
Morning comes but I didn’t sleep
I get up to my normal things
It’s been loaded for years now, I think,
And I close the door, and hold a gun in my hand
And I watch me cry in the dark
With a bullet in my heart
My disguise that I let bleed
And die in my arms
So that I can start
the rest of my life as the real me
What I always was, it was always there
Hiding in the shadows of my mind
I took off my mask, now I’ll tell the truth
This is what I am, what I was born to do
And I watch me cry in the dark
With a bullet in my heart
My disguise that I let bleed
And die in my arms
So that I can start
the rest of my life as the real me
Wildflowers
A roadside blooms along the highway
as I drive across the land of the blind
where one-eyed men decide what you may say
and how you should get your peace of mind
From prayers to bones, from day to dusk
petals to thorns, brass to rust,
This is the start, this is the end
Mile after mile I bury myself
Wildflowers slowly fading
in the last rays of sunshine
as they lie under a dusty windshield
and wither away while I drive,
Amber clouds with golden shading
billow into the deep blue sky
as they fly over a rusty windmill
that’s standing by the county line
I’ve cut off my roots to rise again
With nothing to lose, nothing to gain
I can’t bloom where I was planted
I won’t grow if I can’t be free
’Til The Night Turns Into Day
The sun is dying, the ground gets cold,
wicked eyes watch in the tree
Skins drying on the wall,
a wolf cries behind the hills
Angel feathers hanging from
antlers hung above the door
when I return to this old home
from beyond, here to roam
When the sun dies to let me breathe,
to let me shine for a moment
’til the night turns into day
’til the night turns into day
In the dark I’ve lived my life
Out of the light to see its shine,
Beyond the stars I’m waiting now
When the sun dies, I’ll be around
When the sun dies to let me breathe,
to let me shine for a moment
’til the night turns into day
’til the night turns into day
When the sun dies to let me breathe,
to let me shine for a moment
’til the night turns into day
’til the night turns into day
The River In You
There’s a river of unspoken words that runs in your heart,
You said you’re not hurt but, like this whole world, it’s cold and dark
The deeper I go the harder I fall with you
With mirrors unbroken and hands unheld you said you’ll get through
Where are you now?
Have you thrown yourself in the river in you?
There’s a river of uncried tears that floods your eyes,
I said I’ll be here, you don’t have to fear, what’s on your mind?
On that day when we swam in the rain, when you
told me that this life demands you more than you can do
Where are you now?
Are you still adrift on the river in you?
We keep wondering what we will leave behind,
floundering in the stream of time
Nothing but traces in snow,
in the endless river we flow
There’s a river of broken hearts that runs through this town
With its coasts covered in snow it won’t make a sound
Just remember, it won’t listen you if you shout
If you ask, it will tell that there’s another way out
Where are you now?
Don’t let yourself drift away on the river in you.
