Sky Falling Down

I can't believe what i'm seeing
please tell me that I am just dreaming
we're headed for somewhere
and it's too late to turn back
i smell the burning horizon
oil fires the world has been lighting
didn't think they'd do it
then the situation got away

and if there's hope let me see it
clouds of smoke won't let me believe it
the light of hope is obscured
by the hellfire on the ground
there is no safe place from the hatred
that makes men do what they're doing
i look on this broken world
the bloodstains on the ground

i try to hold on to a memory
before all the skies turned to scarlet
we're seeing the old ways scatter
like ashes on the ground
i feel the hot desperation
in hearts without any pity
never thought it'd come to this
then the sky came falling down

Falling Days

i've been waiting for you
yeah, i've been waiting for you
the summer wind reminds me why you're gone
but the heat of summer won't last forever
i'll see you again on falling days

i've been lookin' for you
yeah, i've been lookin' for you
the summer sun is shinin' on my lawn
but the heat of summer won't last forever
i'll see you again on falling days

(chorus)
i'll keep my peace
i'll keep my sanity
'till the falling leaves hit ground
i'll bide my time
i know you'll come to me
when falling days come around

i've been livin' for you
yeah, i've been livin' for you
this summer burn will someday turn around
but the heat of summer won't last forever
i'll see you again on falling days

(chorus)
i'll keep my peace
i'll keep my sanity
'till the falling leaves hit ground
i'll bide my time
i know you'll come to me
when falling days come around

Getting Closer

what can i do?
i dream it's coming closer
i think of you
and then i turn around
i sense your eyes moving
watching me from i distance i can't feel

where is your heart?
I dream but you won't tell me
i fall apart
and then i feel you smiling
i sense your touch coming
reaching me from a place i don't know

(chorus)
whatever this is
whatever it does to us
it's getting closer
i dream of you every night
and there's no shelter
whatever you are
i can't ignore
the afterglow at sunrise
the trace of last nights dream
it's getting closer

I JUST WISH THAT I BELIEVED YOU

i've been around and up and down
i don't understand this life i've found
this thing called destiny
does it have a plan for me?

i'm getting on from day to day
i sometimes drift and lose my way
this life is full of holes
through which the four winds blow

(bridge)
i don't need a map to get me where i'm going
i know i'll get there in the end

(chorus)
i just wish that i believed you
when you said my heart was good
the thought might keep me going
where i never thought i could
why did you believe in me?
I never gave that much to you
i just wish that i could have the faith
that you seem to have in me
i try but it's not happening
what is it that you see?
I'm gonna keep on trying
just because you tell me to believe
what i can't believe

i'm losing track and losing faith
i'm banging up against the gate
the door is closed
and nobody knows

just when i get up on my feet
i have to turn back and retreat
the war goes on
even when i'm gone

(bridge)
i don't need a map to get me where i'm going
i know i'll get there in the end

(repeat chorus}

I Need Your Smile

another day over and over again

waiting for some kind of breeze to blow in

i'm searching for questions without any name

just calls in the dark for the sky to explain

i know i said it was over

i didn't have time to dream

so if you're somehow receiving this call

do you know what I mean?

I need your smile

i need it forever

not just for awhile

i need your smile

i'm missing it more

every single mile

so if you hear me callin'

do you know this call's for you?

i know i'm needing a miracle now

nothing less will do

another red sky in the evening is gone

replaced with the darkness that won't end 'till dawn

i've made some mistakes, i'll admit quite a few

i'm counting the blessings that i had with you

i know i said it was over

i didn't have time to dream

so if you're somewhere receiving these words

what the hell do they mean?

I need your smile

i need it forever

not just for awhile

i need your smile

i'm missing it more

every single mile

so if you hear me callin'

do you know this one's for you?

I know i'm needing a miracle now

nothing less will do
