Feel Your Way

My name is Lou.
I was a really nice guy, 'til the lightening came and split my sky.
Now, it's not that I'm bad.
It's just the life that I had took me down so deep the love ran dry.
But I need somebody to lead me through the dark.
Won't you feel your way to me?
Feel your way to my heart.
My name is Grace.
The sum of all of my days is lost to me, but it's written on my face.
My hands are old, like the stories I've told.
They've got my life, but they haven't got my soul.
Sometimes I need somebody to lead me through the dark.
Won't you feel your way for me?
Feel your way to my heart.
And, brother, hold on.
Hold on to me, now. Yeah.
And, brother, stay close. Stay by me.
"Imagine", he said, "that you see an old friend.
He's all messed up, so you think you'll pass him by.
Then he whispers your name and, though he isn't the same,
his heart speaks out when you look into his eyes.
It's saying: take some time for me! The world has gone so very dark!
It's saying: please hold onto me! Stay by me!"
'cause we all need somebody to lead us through the dark.
Won't you feel your way with me?
Feel your way to my heart.
And, brother, hold on.
Hold on with me, now. Yeah.
And, brother, stay close. I'll stay by you.
"Imagine", he said.

Train of Thought

I just feel so tired, my darling.
Seems I'm always running, running for that train.
I've got the strongest feeling it's gonna take me home.
Inner dreams and memories
come a calling to carry me away.
Where the rails meet the horizon, we become one.
So stoke the fires, hit the rails!
There's no end to the tales that I can tell you.
We'll stop at places on the way. Where they are, I couldn't say.
But I'll wait with you, if you'll wait with me.
This train has got a driver.
He can feel its' rhythm in his veins.
But he's got no sense of order. I lose my way.
So stoke the fires, hit the rails!
There's no end to the tales that I can tell you.
We'll see faces on the way. Who they are, I couldn't say.
But I'll stay with you. If you'll stay with me, I won't be afraid.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Hmm.
Woowoo!
When I'm standing at the station
and I just can't find the words I mean to say,
we have to wait for inspiration.
It's always the last damned carriage to come around.
I'll take you on a journey.
I hope you don't get off along the way.
Might take us half my life to get there, but I'm going home!
Stoke the fires, hit the rails!
There's no end to the tales that I can tell you.
We'll see faces on the way. Who they are, I couldn't say.
But I'll stay with you, if you'll stay with me, on my train of thought.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Hmm.
