Amber hair and eyes of jade
Drew the silver lines of fate
Onto my arm, free from all harm
Reassured it's not too late
...
I've been walking around with a coin in my pocket
I carry it with me wherever I go
I'm grinding this life 'til a lover might rock it
I've been saying much more goodbyes than I'm saying hello
...
The autumn mist has come along
To take what's left of all things gone
Burnt thoughts are floating through the air
The smell of change is everyhwere
...
I'm heading to the field in my condition
Hellbent on revenge for all it's worth
Not much left to do in my position
Gonna put some bones into the earth
...
From her lonely tower she will watch out
Waiting for her true love to appear
Paying for a crime she hasn't done now
Singing songs no one might ever hear
...
Where the black winds roar
All the way up to the shore
Forevermore
That's where I last saw her heart
...
I walked up to the dead men on the top of the hill
Saw their empty eyes
But to my surprise
They were dreaming still
...
Lazarus Heart
Amber hair and eyes of jade
Drew the silver lines of fate
Onto my arm, free from all harm
Reassured it's not too late
Souls can find the truth in wine
I found mine in every line
Straight from the start, into my heart
Praying for a single sign
Every lovesong is a prayer
Cast, with hope, into the air
Somehow that night, luck on my side
Strong enough to make it there
For a dead heart singing rhymes
Lazarus in modern times
Set to survive, given new life
Mercy for forgotten crimes
For a sweet and tender kiss
For the heartbeat I have missed
Just for a smile, just for a while
I have tasted purest bliss
