TWELFTH OF NEVER LYRICS

1. Octoberland




2. Bratty Girl


Poor dolly, lying on its back
The cold rain gently drizzles outside
The bags are ready, lunch is packed
"But no one's here. Where's my ride?
I hope they've got the address right."

Poor dolly, bored and cracked
The windows groan with an ancient low
Dropped like a mitten, dignity intact
Forgotten? Maybe. Never. No!

Look, the drizzle is turning to snow!
Pretty Dolly...
misty-eyed, mischief-prone,
wound up tonight

Pretty dolly, wound up tight
So much to do on a November night
Her little shoes, bag, and dress
None of her friends can ever guess
When she'll fly off next

Pretty dolly, dull and drone
Looking out the window at a long driveway
"I wonder if they lost their way?"

Look, the drizzle is turning to snow!
Pretty Dolly...
misty-eyed, mischief-prone,
wound up tonight


3. Nightlong


Long ago I saw her
spinning slowly by herself
in some room full of strangers in some strange town
Spin around and look at me, please
Come to see and speak with me
"Life is lonely," someone said, but I was spellbound
and could only nod my head

A dancer from a dream, a footstep away from me

Another time near the water
standing on the Singing Sands
watching ships from other lands
I turned my gaze and she was there
spinning slowly by the water
From somewhere the music caught her
and carried her away
I was spellbound

A dancer from a dream, a footstep away from me

I've followed her footprints but they disappear
And sometimes I think it's her singing I hear
Through years of eluding me I finally one night
sat at my mirror longing for the sight
Lo! She appeared and didn't flee
The dancer I had sometimes seen
was laughing looking back at me.


4. Ever After Fading


His name might burn my mouth
if I speak it too loud
So instead I'll motion silently
Though...can he see?
His voice can sometimes make me cry
I haven't really figured out why

Something about his softly spoken understanding words-
He can fix the tracking on my world
I'll push him away but I definitely want him to stay

His picture might frown
if and when I take it down
Does love just sometimes go away?
What do I say?
I want to climb this ivied wall
but I'm so sure we're meant to fall

Don't leave, don't put another dream to sleep
I'll use my words, you'll use your charm
and we could both believe

If he called my name softly I would certainly come closer


5. Recognition


Softly speaking
Come to me
Fingers move, mind is clear
Only we
No truth to blind
No time to fall behind
Magic how you know my mind
In such a dark world, this is hard to find

Softly weeping
Come to me


6. As Autumn Falls


As autumn falls
a chill will chase the wind
Weak fragile leaves one by one descend
Black branches writhe
as the pale eye blinks behind
Reach out to me
silhouette, skeletal dream

A forest path unwinds
through grove, glade, and glen
I wander far beyond
Out of the corner of my eye
dryads whisper silence, sweetly beckoning
Onward still I drift
unafraid of eyes that shine in the night,
for I know that I'm not alone

As autumn falls
the haunting will begin
Candles burn cold
in jack-o-lanterns grin
Goblins and ghosts wander in trance, masquerade
All Hallows Eve
Shadowy, silver-lit dream

Fall down my love, in silence


7. The Tiny Drawer


Open, open for me
Clumsy little fingers forcing
lock and key
Wonder what's inside?
This is my new game
No one's come along here since
last I came
And here I come again
plundering the tiny drawer

Spider craning to see
He wants to crawl in the dark space
just like me
Waiting patiently
making sure that none take heed
of secret things hiding inside
meant for only me to see

Give up, give in to me
Now the hinge is breaking free

Greedy, rooting through here
stealing all the things that someone
once held dear
vials of poison and tablets of cheer
pictures of dead lovers casting their leers
Every day brings something new
on which I can prey
Left for me are new toys
more games I can play


8. Such Are Mirrors


Where is the beauty in rainbows?
When everything I see is in black and white
With each of my words I kill yet another
Like pieces of stained glass, they are all different
yet still part of the same window

In the garden of the dying season
the pieces were scattered
Some falling deep beneath the surface
while some laid among the weeds,
entwined and gasping for air
And all the while I ask myself;
Why do we kill the things we love?


9. Two Seven


watching and waiting
and running and breaking
and flying and falling
and reaching for something
I crawl to you
crawl to me
call to you
I fell for you

sink with me
peacefully wishfully
we slip away
weacefully wistfully
and so it goes


10. Left Unsaid


Remembering the night,
the night we watched the moon burn out,
you turned to me and smiled
and touched me with flowers

I wanted to tell you
but the bells were too loud
Some things are better left unsaid
(left alone)

By the last few shreds of sanity
I hang
Suffocating in silence
emptiness takes my hand and leads me...
Away

Are you my sanctuary?
Could you be my hide-away?
Are you the candle in the window?
of my one room insanity?
Are you my savior?
Could you be my cross?
Can you give me all I miss?
Even though the flowers still smell of loneliness?

By the last few shreds of sanity
I hang
Suffocating in silence
shadows take my hand and lead me...
Away


11. Shade of Grey


Open eyes
roll out of bed again
and go through the motions
awake and unconscious.
look in the mirror
there I am again
feeling so empty
the greyest shade of sick.
sometimes my eyes deceive
I try not to blink
I think I see the beauty again
has it returned?
then it's gone; the moment's lost
sinking all over again
this false sense of hope is far too much.
I can only run so far before I tire and fall
falling again and again I stay down.
I wish I was someone
I wish I was something
I wish they could see me again
I was trying too hard

Fall apart, like so many broken hearts
Infect my mind, like so many left behind
Cross my heart, as I hope to die
Twisting the knife so slowly
As I crawl away again

I want to be no one
I want to be nothing
I want to be invisible
Until my tears have dried

Fall apart, like so many broken hearts
Infect my mind, like so many left behind
Cross my heart, as I hope to die
Twisting the knife so slowly
As I crawl away again

Crawl away...into one more day
Just another shade of grey
