SPIRIT IS NOWHERE


I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere. SO CRUEL


Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt. WHO’S GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES


I've got no home in this world
Just gravity
Luck and time. STATELESS

Your tears are going nowhere, baby. STUCK IN A MOMENT YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF

You hurt yourself, you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed.
Goodbye, and it's an emotional
Goodnight, I'll be up with the sun
Are you still holding on?
I'm not coming down. GONE 


If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame…

This desperation, dislocation, separation, condemnation, revelation, in temptation, isolation, desolation. BAD

Ice, your only rivers run cold
These city lights, they shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal…

And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I. THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE

And my reflection, when I though about it
My direction, going nowhere, going nowhere. I THREW A BRICK THROUGH A WINDOW

To lose along the way the spark that set the flame
To flicker and to fade on this the longest day
So wind go through to my heart
So wind blow through my soul. INDIAN SUMMER SKY

Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets, and no one to tell
Take the money, honey... blindness. LOVE IS BLINDNESS


So love is big, is bigger than us
But love is not what you're thinking of
It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive
'Cause you, my love, I could never believe. PLEASE

Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control. THE TROUBLES
