The Sound and the Fury

They said there were storms ahead, so ride along beside me
We three, we were born to travel free and never sleep at all
No use for a quiver if I lose my only bow and arrow
I'll climb til the world is mine and never sleep at all
And the sound and the fury as they took your share
I had to get away from there
With our blood in the balance it was quite a scare my friend
And we will not go quietly
Each stride you were ten miles wide and taller than your stories
More blessed men have lost their heads for less and never sleep at all
It's true when I laugh I look like you, and still ya had the last one
Day's through so I raise a glass to you, and never sleep at all
And the sound and the fury as they took your share
I had to get away from there
With our blood in the balance it was quite a scare my friend
And we will not go quietly
They said there were storms ahead.
It doesn't really matter if we're setting our sights for sun
And the sound and the fury as they took your share
I had to get away from there
With our blood in the balance it was quite a scare my friend
And we will not go quietly

You Win Again

I turn a blind eye each time you deceive
For counterbalance I want to believe
That change isn't temporary keeping of peace
And trust is only set to increase
Each golden memory of you erased
I have a comeback so elegantly phrased
That when you hear it the lies will stop
And you'll come down like a spinning top
When we meet I choke on the words
And when we meet
I freeze like a jilted teenager
And you win again
You're the finger to wrap me round
Power to bring me to the ground
You've a stranglehold on me
Every time we meet you win again

We dodge the dawn commuters still blinking from a dream, still blinking from a dream
A chorus of computers, I sink into a screen, I think into a screen
We're looking to the future forgetting where we've been, forgetting where we've been
And I would believe it if I'd seen it with my own eyes
Ever heard the one about the man who made the best-laid plans
I've been counting up my blessings on the creases of my hands
You say no man's an island like you got your degree in advanced Geography
So why are we still fighting if we're not lost at sea? What belongs to me?
And are you standing out in the rain, are you standing out in the rain?
Are you wearing your own clothes again; do you walk on water again?
Are you safe with an innocent face? Do they love your innocent ways?
And can you take me to somewhere that we can both talk?
And are you standing out in the rain, are you standing out in the rain?
Are you warm in your own clothes again; do you walk on water again?
Are you safe with an innocent face? Do they curse your innocent ways?
And can you take me to somewhere that we can both talk?
