Who'd stay hermetic
lid on absent lid tonight,
play grey, ascetic?

The Gardener XLIII: No, My Friends
No, my friends, I shall never be an
ascetic, whatever you may say.
I shall never be and ascetic if she
does not take the vow with me.
It is my firm resolve that if I
cannot find a shady shelter and a
companion for my penance, I shall
never turn ascetic.
No, my friends, I shall never leave
my hearth and home, and retire into
the forest solitude, if rings no merry
laughter in its echoing shade and if
the end of no saffron mantle flutters
in the wind; if its silence is not
deepened by soft whispers.
I shall never be an ascetic.

Stay With Me
In the mornin' don't say you love me,
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita 'cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor. Oh, guitar
Won't need too much persuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin',
But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about.
Red hair, lips and fingernails,
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go upstairs and read my Tarot cards
Come on
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Come on
So, in the mornin', don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne,
Just don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
Keyboard, come on
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Get up, get out now
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Say what's your name again

Music & Lyrics: Hall
I'm tired of playing on the team
It seems I don't get time out anymore
What a change if we set the pace face to face
No one even trying to score
Oh oh I can feel the magic of your touch
And when you move in close a little bit means so much
Ooh yeah, you've got to understand baby
Time out is what I'm here for
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one I know I wanna play that
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one so slow
You can't tell me you don't miss me girl
I think I might know you too well
Wonder what you'd say if you knew that I was coming tonight
Want to? I want you can't you tell
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one I know I wanna play that
One on one I wanna play that game tonight
One on one so slow
That's all you need to know now
'Cause if it's really right there's nothing else
One on one I want to play that game tonight...

Stay With Me Tonight
The candle is burning low;
you say that it is time for you to go.
My eyes and heart plead,
stay with me tonight,
and let us share the early morning light
together as one.
Stay with me tonight;
let our love and passion flow,
no one will ever know.
Just stay with me tonight.

Guitar Song
I feel bad
And beautiful
In all the strangest places
You feel good
Youre sweetest
The weathers changing as I look at your face
Falling
Fall to the floor
Falling
You know we can
Havent had a dream in such a long time now
Its raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But Im safe and warm outside its cold and grey
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day
So many songs
In my mind
Maybe less cause Ive drunk so much wine
Theres light
In your eyes
But out the window its gone dark outside
Falling
Fall to the floor
Falling
You know we can
Havent had a dream in such a long time now
Its raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But Im safe and warm outside its cold and grey
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day
Havent had a dream in such a long time now
Its raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But Im safe and warm outside its cold and grey
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day
Itll be alright
If you stay tonight
Havent had a dream in such a long time now
Its raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But Im safe and warm outside its cold and grey
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day
Havent had a dream in such a long time now
Itll be alright
Its raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
Itll be alright
But Im safe and warm outside its cold and grey
Itll be alright
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day
Itll be alright
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day
Itll be alright
Thats my guitar and I will play for you all day

Tonight She Comes
I know tonight she comes
Shes takin a swipe at fun
She gives me a reason
For sighting my sights
Well I know tonight she comes
She jangles me up

And sometimes she passes through me
Just like a breeze
She gives me a reason
For feelin all right

In my mind
Oh, why does she keep me hanging on the line, oh yeah

I know the way she feels
And all of the hearts that she steals
She tells me its easy
When you do it right
Oh well, ell I know tonight she comes

Every Night
Every night I just wanna go out, get out of my head
Every day I dont want to get up, get out of my bed
Every night I want to play out
And every day I want to do ooh ooh oh oh
But tonight I just want to stay in
And be with you,
And be with you.
Ooh
Ooh
Believe me mama
Every day I lean on a lamp post, Im wasting my time
Every day I lay on a pillow, Im resting my mind
Every morning brings a new day
Every night that day is through ooh ooh oh oh
But tonight I just want to stay in
And be with you,
And be with you.

Heartache Tonight
Somebody is gonna hurt someone
before the night is thru
Somebody is gonna come undone
It's nothing we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A hearthache tonight I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A hearthache tonight I know
not unknown
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can't hold out that long
Nobody wan't to go home now
There's too much going on
This night is gonna last forever
Last all last all summer long
Sometimes before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A hearthache tonight I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A hearthache tonight I know
all I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
the moon shinning right
so turn out the light
and we'll get it right
There's gonna be a hearthache tonight
a heartache tonight
I know
Somebody is gonna hurt someone
before the night is thru
Somebody is gonna come undone
It's nothing we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And make it come out right
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A hearthache tonight I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A hearthache tonight I know
Let's go
If we can feel around the bushes
we can hit down to the ball
we can leave it in the parking lot
but either way there's gonna be a
Heartache tonight
a heartache tonight
I know
Oh I know
There'll be a heartache tonight
a heartache tonight I know
whooooohooooooo

Make Tonight Beautiful
I've been waiting
To taste your kiss
Touch you in the dark
Hold you to my heart
I've been hoping
For that moment
We'd be making love
Now the time has come
Come with me tonight
Share my dreams
Change my life...
(chorus)
Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night i've ever known
In my life before
Make tonight beautiful
Hold me close and dont let go
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Make tonight a beautiful night
Turn the lights down
Tonight theres a world of love
Waiting there for us
Let me take you
To that place youve never been before
Open up the door
To a dream come true
Take my hand and show me how to...
(chorus)
Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night ive ever known
In my life before
Make tonight beautiful
Hold me close and dont let go
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Make tonight a beautiful night
And show me all the magic
The night can bring
You see youre my door to heaven
Youre all i need
I've waited all my life
To look into your eyes
So stay with me
Make love to me
And make tonight beautiful
(chorus)
Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night i've ever known
In my life before
Make tonight beautiful
Hold me close and dont let go
Lay with me and stay with me

If I Die Tonight
If i die tonight
i wander who'd care
tears fall like rain
but for how long would
you hold me near
if i die tonight
will i be immortalized
till the day of my resurrection
or will i be forgotten
with no determination
if i die tonight
pardon me oh lord
cause nothing last forever
i just wish my friend and i
could stay together
so if i die tonight
may my last words be right
and hope that the future stay bright
as i lay my head down and say good night

Two Ways To Play
Somethin' crossed my mind again
You were in my eyes
It was somewhere out by Bombay
And I'm tellin' all those lies
I've been there and you've been there
And there ain't no mistake
We could take it anyway
But the one thing we can't fake
There's just two ways to play
Just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play
And I'm gonna play it right, this time
Yeah
There's always the easy numbers
There's those hard ways too
There's those cheaters blunders
It's either one of two
But fortune telling's mezmorizing
In the game of chance
But rollin' dice ain't sympathizing
When you play romance
There's just two ways to play
Just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play
I can't control the numbers
I can't control your sexy ways
I can't control my inner thunder
It makes me want????????
Two ways to play
There's Just two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
I'm gonna play it right this time
There's two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
Two ways to play
There's just two ways to play
And I don't want to stay
There's just two ways to play

Silesian Landscape
The January wind
bangs
against the window-panes,
maliciously twists
the black bones
of shivering trees,
racks
Baroque clouds
in a scudding cycle
of dreams,
under which rooks,
like cast-out
angels,
frolic,
cough up hermetic
blasphemies
on a grey day
without snow.

Broken
Every night before I rest my head
Hold me close as I draw another breath
Still hoping, that our love's not broken
Every flight that we plan ahead
Look to the skies for the words that I've said
Still hoping, that our world's not broken
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say - oh
Every morning when I wait for you
Each way I look you'll see something new
Still hoping, that my world's not broken
Every time I dream crazy dreams
Of bright water and brightless sunbeams
I'm hoping, that my mind's not broken
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say - oh

I Wanna Take Forever Tonight
(eric carmen/dean pitchford)
Feel your breath
On my shoulder
And I know we couldnt get any closer
I dont wanna act up
I just wanna make love
As we move
Into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how its gonna be with you baby
I dont wanna play rough
Ive been giving you enough
Whoa baby, baby, baby
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
Im gonna give you all the love that Ive got
You know, I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
Whoa, whoa
I wanna take forever tonight
Touch my lips
Im on fire
Youre the only one Ill ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When Im holding you
Tonight
Its so easy
Nothing moves me like you do when you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna stop time
With you baby, baby
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
Im gonna give you all the love that Ive got
You know, I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
Whoa,whoa
I wanna take forever
And when I lay beside you
I wanna see what drives you out of your mind
Ooh, baby
I wanna tantalize you
Take all of my time with you
Whoa baby, baby, baby
I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
Im gonna give you all the love that Ive got
You know, I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
Give you all the love that Ive got
Oh, I wanna take forever tonight
Gonna stay in this moment forever
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with my love
Give you all the love that Ive got
Oh, I wanna take forever tonight

The Grey World
Grey nights in the wind,
And the grey-faced dead.
Grey hairs in my head,
And grey eyes in my mind.
Grey mists in the morn,
And grey waves that rave,
Grey mould on my grave,
And grey eyes forlorn.
Grey clouds in the sky,
And the grey world asleep,
Grey ghosts that sigh,
And grey eyes that weep.
