Don't Dream It's Over


There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

Locked Out 

I been locked out
I been locked in
but I always seem to come back again
when you're in that room
what do you do
I know that I will have you in the end
and the clouds they are crying on you 
and the birds are offering up their tunes
in a shack that's as remote as a mansion
you escape into a place where nothing moves
and I been locked out
and I know we're through
but I can't begin to face up to the truth
and I wait so long for the walls to crack
but I know that I'll one day have you back
and the hills are as soft as a pillow
and they cast a shadow on my bed
and the view when I look through my window
is an alterpiece I'm praying to for the
living and the dead
twin valleys shine in the morning sun
I sent the message out to my only one I been locked out and I know we're through
but I can't begin to face up to the truth 
I wait so long for the walls to crack
but I know that I'll one day have you back
and I work with the bees and the honey
and every night I circle like a moon
and it's an act of simple devotion
but it can take forever 
when you've got something to prove
I been locked out

It's Only Natural

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake of this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it

Ready or not, here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
You know it's gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember

It's only natural that I should want to be there with you
It's only natural that you should feel the same way too

It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession now
You've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there

I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book that's fallen down
Between your knees, please
Let me have my way with you

It's only natural that I should want to be there with you
It's only natural that you should feel the same way too
It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
And we don't have to try

But we'll be shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink in to the bay, they'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say
I know you're afraid

It's only natural that I should want to be there with you
It's only natural that you should feel the same way too
It's circumstantial, it's something I was born to
It's only natural, can I help it if I want to
