After the rain
A killer crane
After the rainbow

Across the sky
Her grace is glide
Across the sea

Across creation
And over time
Her grace she slides
Escapes station

A cold wind blows
The day this stows
Glown heart glownation

Leave it behind
Your restless mind
Your jelousies
But isolation
Demands your patience

To be found together in time just to say

Sunshine I saw you through the hanging vine
A memory of what is mine fading away
But this night heals the ?
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid

And after all
We're free to fall
Once all the pain goes
And how we stood
And what was good
Could lie us all long

In isolation
A transformation

Blue laughter leaves me
Leaves me blue
And all the ? to see it through
This laugh of love and lie tingle
A killer crane
After the rainbow

May they found together in time to say

Sunshine I saw you through the hanging vine
A memory of what was mine fading away
But this night heals the
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid

Sunshine come crawling through the hanging vines
A memory of what is mine fading away
In this night heals the
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid

Sunshine I saw you through the hanging vine
A memory of what is mine fading away
And this night heals the
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid

    I don't know for sure, but I think "This laugh of love and lie tingle" is supposed to be "This life of love and letting go". That makes more sense to me.

    This really is a beautiful song. Kind of reminds me of Thank You by Led Zeppelin.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
