When the willow falls
We'll gather in the leaves and branches
Hang them on the walls
They'll light the path to our redemption
Gentle wind, weeping branches
Soft leaves tap on a window pane
Darkening sky, dark howling shadows
Big brown eyes looking out again
Climb out child and rest in these arms
Fear no height and fear no fall
Though you may be far away
I am with you fear nothing at all
Wind blown sand, low distant thunder
Comes again the third time today
Darkening skies, dark howling shadows
Big brown eyes looking out in vain
Climb out child and rest in these arms
Fear no height and fear no fall
Though you may be far away
I am with you fear nothing at all
Open window in an empty room
In the dark she sits alone
In these arms he once was held
Now she wonders will he ever return

Yellow Roses

Well I've seen him walking by the river
Yellow roses and a trail of lights
Ragged coat, the cloth that shields him
And on and on this endless night
And on and on this shining night
Many years have passed and still they chase him
People taking, people leaving none
Simple kindness, gentle hands desert him
And on and on, this endless night
And on and on, this shining night
And how are you going to save him sister
When you can't save yourself
How are you going to save him from the fate
Of the long dark years and endless night?
Comes a time when every man does better
Comes a time when every life sees gain
But fates are worn and jaded hearts much stronger
And the rise and fall of life's ingrained
Memories linger and they taste so bitter
Second chances lost and sweet regret
The road to empty is lined with fools and sinners
And the wild eyed hopeful that don't know yet.

Old Friend

Oh my friend, we parted ways
Times have changed, as have the roles we've played
Unfinished games, so soon did end
We shed cocoons, and we emerged as men
Though there are many miles that separate
As time and distance alienate
Old friends
And oh my friend, we were like leaves
Close while we shared, that branch upon a tree
Our colors changes, from green to brown
Fall breezes swept us, each to different ground
Follow your dreams and I will follow mine
Perhaps we'll meet again sometime
Old friend
Oh my friend, look at the sky
How fast it changed, so much like you and I
Once we were young, once we were free
Playing at life, like gulls above the sea
Upon the auction block, were bought and sold
Our youth's ideals, perhaps our souls
Old friend
And oh my friend, now it seems clear
We are not bards, we are but players here
Set on a stage, cast in a play
Who writes the lines, that tell us what to say?
Destiny leads us towards diverging ends
We'll never pass this way again
Old friend
