1. BEHIND THESE TEARS

I've waited for this day
For far too long
Redemption from this life
Pain still grows strong

[Bridge]
This sorrowful morning
These words, unsaid
Mingle with the tears
we shed, we shed.

[Chorus]
Behind these fears
I'm crying,
Behind these tears,
I'm dying

[Bridge]
This sorrowful morning
These words, unsaid
Mingle with the tears
we shed, we shed.

Eroded by these sands
The sands of time
Defeated by disease
This heart of mine

[Chorus]
Behind these fears
I'm crying,
Behind these tears,
I'm dying


2. WHEN THE GRASS GROWS OVER ME

The wine we once shared still numbs my tongue,
While this procession plays my last song,
That earthen grave is expecting me,
There will be home eternally.

[Chorus]
Over my bones,
The grass will grow,
Grow over me...

I see the shallow skies over me,
And hear the sadness of the widow's weep,
Earth starts to crumble, as this casket lows,
And dirt will cover my frozen soul.

[Chorus]
Over my bones,
The grass will grow,
Grow over me...


3. THIS SELFISH ACT

In silence, you disappeared,
From my life, come back my dear.

This very song, written out of grief,
Shall remain your life's long memory,
Life's long memory

A lonesome,and deserted place
Left forlorn, an empty space

All alone, looking back from here
On my own, I walk this path in fear
Walk this path in fear

[Chorus]
Aching times await,
To the one you left behind,
I wish I'd heard you say,
(That) You'll commit this selfish act

All alone I sleep
A screaming breath grows deep


4. MOONCHILD

Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lovely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
Of the willow.

Talking to the trees of the
Cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the
Night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain.

She’s a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden.
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours.

Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child.
