THIS BRILLIANT NIGHTTIME

quiet darkness I adore
as I stagger out the door
in to brilliant nighttime
...brilliant nighttime
as I stare towards heaven's door
so content, but I want more
of this brilliant nighttime
...brilliant nighttime

WE THREE KINGS

(traditional Christmas song)
we three kings of orient are
bearing gifts we traverse afar
field and fountain
moor and mountain,
following yonder star
star of wonder, star of night
star with royal beauty bright
westward leading
still proceeding
guide us to thy perfect light

IN A LONELY PLACE

(written by Joy Division - lyrics unintentionally altered)
caressing the marble and stone
love that was special for one
wasting the fever and heat
how I wish you were here with me now
body that curls and hides
watches in awful delight
warm like a dog 'round your feet
how I wish you were here with me now
a man looks 'round as he waits
thought stretches time and it breaks
someday we will die in your dreams
how I wish we were here with you now
 

DEFECTIVE

again and again and again...
I sing the same words!

 

TRANSITION

and I think hard
can I prevail?
this all feels just like then
I just want this to end
and I reach out
can I prevail?
this is the transition to better days

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

(traditional Christmas song)
oh little town of Bethlehem
how still we see thee lie
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
yet in the dark streets shineth
the everlasting light
the hopes and fears for all the years
are met in thee tonight
for Christ is born of Mary
and gathered all above
while mortals sleep the angels keep
their watch of wondering love
oh morning stars together
proclaim the holy birth
and praises sing to god the king
and peace to men on earth
