  • by John Wesley

    We sit alone together
    and the space begins to breathe
    distance seems to come alive
    why this emptiness between you and me

    Where is your compassionate smile
    come here take hold of me
    I'll stroke your hair for a little while
    just rest your eyes, it'll be all right you see
    just rest your eyes, it'll be all right you see

    We sit alone, together
    your Crystal Blues have turned to ice
    your heart is colder then November
    what is it that I've failed to recognize

    I could make all of this better
    just don't close your eyes
    I could make all of this better
    just don't close your eyes
    I could make all of this better
    please don't close your eyes

  • by John Wesley

    Say goodbye to the girl with the pale blue eyes
    is she too tired to see
    oh no, she's just tired of me

    I am in love with the girl of the pale blue eyes
    is she too blind to see
    what all this is doing to me

    She looks away when she sees me comin'
    I lose my words when I try to speak
    she won't defend her reasons for runnin'
    she's just tired of being part of this losin' streak

    Says she's got herself a good new man
    say's this time she won't tell no lies
    I can't help but to want to tell him
    don't believe what it is you see in those eyes

    And should those blue eyes see another
    and should your lips feel his kiss
    then God just let me shut my eyes to you
    and help me find a way to get out of this
    keep me sane while I'm getting out of this
    then say goodbye to the girl with the pale blue eyes

    The fog sets in and covers the sky
    the brightness of the stars will disappear
    with no means to reason why

    I felt your presence as if you were here
    I cover you with all that I am
    I still can't see the sky
    I still can't see the sky

    Watch you fly away Little Blue Angel
    watch you race in the wind
    why do you fly from me Little Blue Angel
    this is not a dream, this is...

    The death of a friend
    this is the death of a friend
    yes you were my friend
    I will miss you my friend

  • by John Wesley

    Nothing changes with the moon
    only the shades of emptiness within the room
    and dark to light,
    morning never comes too soon

    I see the sunlight in your hair
    I see you smile as you move without a care
    and the morning,
    becomes much brighter with you there

    But the cold wind comes
    and a cold wind blows
    you feel so scared because you're so alone
    and like a frightened child
    you call my name, you call my name

    But you only had to reach out
    to reach out and I'll be here
    reach out, reach out and take my hand.

    The past it haunts you like a ghost
    comes rushing back at you like waves
    upon the coast
    threatens what you are
    and who you love the most

    And when the cold wind comes
    and a true wind blows
    and you feel so scared because you're all alone
    like a frightened child, you call my name
    you call my name, you call my name

    And you only had to reach out

  • by John Wesley

    Well here we are boy
    and I'm through dreaming
    all these colors I've been flying
    have lost the will to keep me high
    and I'm not amused...

    So I said hey you're no a star
    so are you through screaming
    cause all this paranoia's got you
    hiding in the dark
    and I can't see you...

    Well shine the light
    and you can come on in
    can't you see I'm on a mission
    you can stay if you are wishin'
    but I'm waiting...

    see my daddy hit the doorway
    when I was just a kid
    said he'd gone to find the sunshine
    and bring it back for me
    and I'm waiting
    waiting for the sun to shine

    Do you see my scars
    it's dark and they're glowing
    all these tiny little punctures
    are a doorway to the sun
    a doorway to the sun
    think I'll have another one

    I know he's in here
    I can feel him lookin' for me
    I hear him laughin' like he did
    like he did when I was young
    daddy's bringin' me the sun
    and I'm waiting
    waiting for the sun to shine

  • by John Wesley

    It's been long since we've spoken
    thought that I might give a call
    did you like the flowers, a small token
    a gift for you is no trouble at all

    It isn't easy here without you
    the days are long, nights way too hard
    I was hoping I could see you
    I miss your eyes, they touch my heart

    she said no

    Our little lady is asking for you
    don't understand where you have gone
    all she knows is she can't hold you
    thinks that she's done something wrong

    Life isn't easy here without you
    she wakes at night to call your name
    I tell her you love her and you miss her
    but words from me just aren't the same
    oh baby come home please

    she said no

    You never face the consequences
    you'll always find some alibi
    you leave us behind all cut and bleeding
    you turn your back and you don't know why
    no you don't know why

    She said no

    It's been a long time since I've held you
    no other woman fills my arms
    I want to believe that you still love me
    somehow I know you're still there
    I'm falling apart and I need your answer
    just see my eyes and you'll find it there
    find it there

    She said no

  • by John Wesley

    We sit one on one as the night time comes
    Stars set in as the last light runs
    Something dark had befallen here
    And what it is ain't exactly clear
    And we whisper and we pray for this to go away

    Stars light your eyes in an emerald fire
    The only witness as this night transpires
    A dark like this we've never seen before
    We reach for the light that's beyond the door

    Is there something to be said to make this go away
    Can't we just hold on to us to make this go away

    I don't want you to leave I don't want you to go
    I give you the last light in my eyes
    And the last light inside of my soul
    I don't want you to leave I don't want you to go

    Words clench the air like an iron vice
    And shows no mercy in exacting it's price
    But I've got a secret that I've saved for last
    We can send these sorrows back into the past

    Is there something to be said to make this go away
    Can't you look into my eyes and make this go away

    I don't want you to leave I don't want you to go
    I give you the last light in my eyes
    And the last light inside of my soul

    Take this gift from me
    Take this gift and you'll know
    I give you the last light in my eyes
    and the last light inside of my soul
    I don't want you to leave I don't want you to go
    I don't want you to leave I don't want you to go

  • by John Wesley

    I don't mind if you pry, it's just me
    It's the one thing I protect so well
    this is my story

    I don't care where you go or who you tell
    cause it's my life and my lines
    and have no fear we're not forgotten here

    One step to the light to see
    one foot on the edge that's me
    one long trail into the night
    all over this battle field

    Sometimes you crawl
    sometimes you kneel
    one long trail into the night
    one long trail into the night

    What you sell
    is not who you are
    it's what you do

    Who I am
    I protect so well
    keep away from you

    I don't care where you go
    or who you tell
    because into the night we go on and on
    this is my story
    oh this is my story

    One step to the light to see
    one foot on the edge, that's me
    one long trail into the night

  • by John Wesley

    I was a child,
    life in your arms you hold me
    the fire in your eyes stopped the bleeding
    the love in your heart kept me breathing

    I feel I'm dying again.
    I've got nothing but hatred for my lover and friend
    the lion in your eyes watches me screaming
    the cold in your heart keeps my blood freezing

    Thirteen days, before you left me here staring
    thirteen days, before you tried to stop caring

    Stare into the dark
    the emptiness of hell comes to enfold me
    take a long look at your sweet creation
    did you get a thrill to watch my heart breaking

    Thirteen days, before you left me here standing alone
    thirteen days, before you left me to die on a phone

    I cannot pretend, can't find an end
    oh, how I miss you
    I was your lover and you were my friend
    I pray to God I never see you again

    Thirteen days, before you left me here waiting to hold you
    Thirteen days, before you forgot what I told you
    Thirteen days, that you gave to me only to take from me
    Thirteen days, before you left me here breaking

  • by John Wesley

    High upon a hill
    Looking over the ruins burning still
    Where was I for all of this.
    Where was I for all of this.

    You never looked so bad she said
    I didn't know I could do all this she said
    I didn't know all this could burn with just a kiss
    Burn with just a kiss
    I didn't know

    You didn't notice Rome was burning
    You didn't notice you had the flame still in your hands
    Why didn't you notice Rome was burning

    As the passion filled your eyes
    You couldn't see to find the home you'd left behind
    Like all the lovers that live blind
    Lovers that live blind
    No you couldn't see

    You didn't notice Rome was burning
    You didn't notice you had the flame still in your hands
    Why didn't you notice Rome was burning

  • by John Wesley

    If it bleeds, would you tighten the tourniquet
    or would you stare at the open wound
    with lust and fascination

    If the cut runs deep, would you reach
    inside of it
    or would you twist the knife in tight
    with lust and fascination

    You've got me out on the limb now baby,
    would you be cuttin' the tree.
    you've got the wool in my eyes now
    honey so blind I can't see
    are you settin' your sights now baby,
    are you settin' on me.
    You've got me out on the limb now baby,
    would you be cuttin' the tree
    would you be cuttin' the tree
    would you

    If I sleep
    would you come inside of it
    would you steal all my dreams of life
    with lust and fascination

    If I scream
    would you kill to silence it
    like stealing the words of a drowning man
    with lust and fascination

    You've got me out on the limb now baby,
    would you be cuttin' the tree.
    You've got the wool in my eyes no
    honey so blind I can't see.
    are you settin' your sights now baby
    are you settin' on me.
    You've got me out on the limb now baby,
    would you be cuttin' the tree
    would you be cuttin' the tree, would you
    be cuttin' the tree.
