| Angel Let the night be gone Let it go without a sound I have seen you twice before Nothing by chance you said I've heard it can be seen In the places in between Where the meek are said to seem To be a part of it You said everyone cries You said everyone flies And the joy I keep bound Like a secret I hide From the spirits that move In the time that I bide But it hurts sometimes Float me past the night Show me all the currents right Leaning on a subtle light That brings one back again You said everyone cries You said everyone flies And the joy I keep bound Like a secret I hide From the spirits that move In the time that I bide But it hurts sometimes When I dream it's never dark When the moon is swirling through my head Do you come to watch me too Do you think of me as a part of you Heart of you, start of you Will this last that long Though I know it can't be wrong You repeat you're not that strong But that's what angels do You said everyone cries You said everyone flies And the joy I keep bound Like a secret I hide From the spirits that move In the time that I bide Did you know you could fly When you opened your eyes Does a miracle start Even though no one tries After all of this time After all it's just fine But it hurts sometimes From Eventide - 1997 Music and Lyrics by Dwayne Keith -Back to top- Snow When I lie very still When I listen real hard When everything seems right In the middle of the night I ask, "Where have you been?" I've been looking for signs I've been running around I've been walking in the park Far too often after dark Where have you gone? We haven't spoken for so long So I closed down the house Headed back down the coast I got lost in some job And the warm L.A. smog Drove me away But I still can hear you saying If it starts to snow Well then it starts to snow If we feel it go Well we should let it go I know this little place That's big enough to hide And if you stay real close We both can fit inside And if we lose control Well then we lose control So I found my way back Said I'd never go back After all that we've gone through What more now is left to do Surely you know We've got a long, long way to go And if it starts to snow Well then it starts to snow If we feel it go Well we should let it go I know this little place That's big enough to hide And if you stay real close We both can fit inside And if we lose control Well then we lose control But be sure that I'll be there To help you make it through Cause I'd sure love to be there Looking back with you From: Eventide - 1997 Music and Lyrics by Dwayne Keith -Back to top If I was... if i was the soap to keep you clean or all your inhibitions if i was purring like a sleepy cat to be around you, i’d be all that if i was the instinct to your charm if i was the key to your alarm if i was butter on your corncob or twisted, like a doorknob if i was laid down like a welcome mat to be around you, i’d be all that found a way i might make you notice a little bit of something come undone a little bit of something if i was the last thing on your mind if i was hanging from vine if i was all that ever mattered if i was ripped, torn, and tattered if i was crumpled up and laughed at to be around you, I’d be all that if you’d recognize my eyes in eyes of strangers found a way i might make you notice a little bit of something come undone a little bit of something come undone let’s pretend for just one moment you turn around, don’t turn around i caught you watching i was dancing sure by now you’ve noticed i’ve been watching, too if i was if i was at a sensible sense of danger you recognize my eyes in eyes of strangers found a way i might make you notice a little bit of something come undone at a sensible sense of danger you recognize my eyes in eyes of strangers found a way i might make you notice a little bit of something come undone a little bit of something found a way I might make you notice can you see can you see me now? From: A Little Voodoo - 2002 Music: D. Keith, B. Kull, E. O’Dell; Lyrics: D. Keith -Back to top The Lost Coast early November north of San Francisco driving fast to find you I feel familiar winds that usher in each evening heavy on the mountains rest clouds left there since morning you always said "there's just no other place" a sign nailed to a redwood signifies arrival "welcome to the Lost Coast" my mind begins to wonder it was here we lost each other shifting to a low gear as I start on down the mountain I know now those were the times of my life 1989 was a dream in a dream we straddled the thin line between what it means or it seems to be sure enough we left the world behind it reminds me now how precious and how delicate the hairpins come more frequent each turn extending to the edge without a barrier I feel my stomach sinking whatever you've been thinking nine years all but vanished now it's nine miles to the ocean and shelter cove where we found a night and now I see that night as a dream in a dream the fire flickered calming light oh how perfect it seemed to be yours alone in such a distant place you faced me and you whispered "this is wonderful" later on at the lighthouse we were warned we should be careful by waves that shot above us we were told there was a hurricane that came ashore each evening I still carry the picture that I took while you were sleeping too hard to look just then I see it again the ocean through the clouds like a dream in a dream all the houses down in Shelter Cove how much smaller they seem was I really wise to improvise and return to this scene 1989 just a dream in a dream I can only hope this Lost Coast can remember so I turn my car off I can almost feel you here From : Painted Pictures - 1998 Music and Lyrics by Dwayne Keith -Back to top Close Your Eyes explores what a relationship might be like between two people: one selfish, one not, the likes of which would be found in Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Close Your Eyes a twinkle in my eye can make you shudder a ‘how long has it been?’ can make you tense you know i’m always glad to be another and i like to keep you in suspense and i tried to tell you this all along i hope you’re listening i really do you never saw anything was wrong you only did what you had to do close your eyes we are buildings we’re so amazing close your eyes we are movement we’re awe-inspiring dreams left in shadows dreams left alone a smile that will start to make you nervous a gesture that will start your heart to race a feeling when you find yourself left breathless by a step you’re destined to retrace but i tried to tell you this all along i hope you’re laughing, i really do close your eyes we are buildings we’re so amazing close your eyes we are movement we’re awe-inspiring dreams left in shadows dreams left alone close your eyes we are buildings we’re so amazing close your eyes we are movement we’re awe-inspiring dreams left in shadows close your eyes we are buildings we’re so amazing close your eyes we are movement for your amusement dreams left in laughter dreams left alone From: A Little VooDoo -2002 Music and Lyrics: D. Keith -Back to top Far I traveled far to a place so distant seasons never changed at all I returned last night to feel the first cool breeze of fall as I lay back in my bed I saw the end shuffle gently into view and then turn back again so surprised at my reaction to this tired friend and what I thought he said just close your eyes and breathe the night keep your vision for another light for the many of whom you'll love that go to find a way it feels so late though I pride myself on certainty I hesitate and it's strange in Philadelphia the city waits for something new to find I lose my sense and the apathy that frightens me is so intense but I still can see the meaning in the words you sent "I've been here all the time." so close your eyes and breathe the night keep your vision for another light for the many of whom you'll love that go to find a way like when we watched waves last September and all the other ones had gone you said you felt like you were losing it I said I've been lost for so long I close my eyes and breathe the night keep my vision, there are other lights for the many of whom you'll love that go to find a way From: Painted Pictures - 1998 Music and Lyrics by Dwayne Keith -Back to top The Passing Of The Evening It's the passing of the evening All around and out about the avenue And I feel as though I'm losing Touch with all the souls I've known so long Am I really going crazy, or hazy Everything and everywhere is changing Newness of philosophies Tell me that you're still there for me Took a walk through the garden Caught myself retaining all the memories And you know it's never likely, or like me To wish that it was any time but now I was finding feathers from you Every time I think it's of you As I stand here now Where I stood before Heard the silent shout And it's so familiar Spoken without words And here you are I was thinking and rethinking Wrote down every word I could remember When I finally saw the morning The yearning Was every bit as strong as you had told me I will spend the sunrise with you I will sit in silence for you As I stand here now And the evening passes Where I stood before Heard the silent shout And it's so familiar Spoken without words And here you are From: Eventide - 1997 Music and Lyrics by Dwayne Keith -Back to top The Perfect Plan meet me down alone by the river ready the boat we push off at sunset no regrets just clear empty spaces one last look, prepare yourself hold on tight I've been watching you some time at some distance never knew some things still surprise me like how your eyes can capture my moments why return when all I believe is here at once I tell you what I mentioned did I forget to mention the breeze is from the west almost too often the sounds are solace-softened drove a hundred miles in a foreign land found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan and I believe I have one I buried it in the darkened sand so it rained we walked you said you felt nothing almost there there can you feel that swear I saw this scene in some movie long before or was it a dream I had to wait until the window opened until the spell was broken to bits I thought I left behind a shadow of doubt within the hollows drove a hundred miles in a foreign land found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan and I believe I have one I buried it in the darkened sand darker still, how still is the river yes we wrote it years ago in letters did we expect it ever to come and come to think of it I noticed a shifting in the distance a changing in the substance drove a hundred miles in a foreign land found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan and I believe I've got it drove a hundred miles in a foreign land found my refuge scattered like dust upon the landscape and all we need is a perfect plan and I have seen a hint of it almost caught a glimpse of it maybe it is best if we tie the boat respect for the river even time keeps her own secrets From : Painted Pictures - 1998 Music and Lyrics by Dwayne Keith -Back to top |
