PETER MURPHY
Cascade

1. Mirror to my Woman's
 Mind
You came to the lobby straight
I shook your hand, felt the heat of a different
fate
Took sometime to tell you my name
I could smell the sense of fear
Had been lifted from your face
It was time to kick the facade
Walk into the room
Disappear without a trace
O' then I recognised you

It was bright
It was dark
You could say
I couldn't start
I couldn't feel
If the words were right

You were right
I was gone
When you said that the fight was on
With one look I was yours
The things you gave
The things I took
See that star?
In the sky
It's a mirror to my woman's
Let me burn in her fire
In that mirror to my woman's mind

I'm gonna take you to the mountain first
Then we'll look down on work to be done
There's no need to live for the world
Don't the leave the world, the world will leave you

It was bright
It was dark
Something big
Was about to start
I wouldn't say I'd got it right

You were right
I was gone
When you said that the fight was on
With one look I was yours
The things you gave
The things I took
See that star?
In the sky
It's a mirror to my woman's mind
Let me burn in her fire
In that mirror to my woman's mind

2.  Subway
It's like there's a straight way you know, you
know
I've told you before it's as thin as ice
As thin as the razor snow
Don't freeze in the snow
Don't bake in the heat
I'll be your breath
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
There's a place where we can meet
Use me
Don't sleep in the subway
Don't sleep in the pouring rain

By my voice in my midnight meditation
When I wake, be my heart's floatation
Come and fill, come and fill from the overflow
Come and play, come and play be like a bird

Don't sleep in the subway
I'm needing you well - I
I feel you, you're closing down yeah
Get close, talk right through me
Get close, keep tight with me
If you fall now it could be forever
I'm telling you the line is thin now
I've told you before this hate is a sin
Empty out for the overflow
Let love begin

There's a place where we can meet


3.  Gliding Like A Whale
It only takes the time
Between here and there
For a landing in another place
Saw your shadow fleeting
In the corner of my eye
Your feet were skimming the sand
And then some began to fly
Lasted no time at all
No time at all

Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels
Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels

The flower seller told the tale
Saw you kiss the King one minute
Then the next set sail
Two places in one time
And that's not all
In one you're swimming to the limit
Then the next you're riding the whales
This clever never no man's land
Angels whisper that you're winning
Shooting starts that leave no trail
It took you no time to leave the land
When you kissed the King one minute
The next you're setting sail

Gliding like a whale
In and out of hotels


4.  Disappearing
You came, I saw, I held your hand outa-
sight
Cause your cause is just a cause
Cause I came here to be with you
I'm like you I'll get inside you
Just like you
Came to be me
I'll do the mirror walk
Disappearing in her hand

He says to her "Your eyes are sick"
He says that mine are fine
She says "That's not what the doctor says"
He takes her word for it this time
If that's me/you - you/me thing
The who's who of the lovers club
You can't get a grip on nothing now can
you?
There's no love where there is no love

How did I get so lucky
Walking in these shoes?
As a kid I yearned for this
Disappearing in her hand
I'm like you, I'll look out from you
Just like you, say the word of full return
Come and go, stay the same
Disappearing in her hand

Just like fishes swimming
They heard some vibe about the water
Swimming in the ocean
Looking for the ocean
Looking for the ocean wide
Ocean swimming, like the fishes swimming
In the ocean
They heard that God was the water
But they were swimming in it all the time

5. Mercy Rain
Would you walk with me tonight
Could you run where the lovers run
Would you stay with me tonight
Will you forgive me if I rush
When I tell you I am yours
As we run where the lovers run

Run with the sound
I won't let you down

Would you swim from the rivers edge
Could you jump where the lovers jump
Would you stay with me tonight
Let's be the runners in the mercy rain
Be my bridge when I fear to cross
As we run where the lovers run

Run with the sound
I won't let you down

Swim, swim

6. I'll Fall With Your
 Knife
To the crowd
To the world
You were so dry
And with the token bird I made
Send it to fly right to your side
With the broken wing you sailed
Oh like winter in July
A barren river wide
To wash on you
It's here I'll be with you

Well if the birds can reach the sky
To this land I'll be with you
'Til the sun bursts from your side
With my hands I reach to you
When you think your chance is passing by
When you blow your moon away
I'll bleed like the reed
Fall with your knife
It's here I'll be with you

I'll fall

7. The Scarlet Thing In
 You
>From the world to the dreaming fields of
light
Yeah from the soaking mud
Gonna fly up to the sky
To the scarlet thing in you
On a long lost ocean wave of light
Submerged and unafraid

I saw you
You were one
I saw you
You were one

No way back to recall the way
Cause I threw out all the why's
Spinning with the spider in the cave
Found the scarlet thing in you
Where the birds can't reach
No words can teach
Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you

I saw you, you saw me

I saw you
You were the one
I saw you
You were one

Spinning in the cave
For the scarlet thing in you

8. Sails Wave Good Bye
Dream - the light was shining hard
And though the lie was the night
Dream - you were the light and colliding with
the stars
In a way - my guide

And there light will pave the way that you
go
In the light of the silver moon

Sails and wave good bye
Sails and wave good bye

Looking out from a bridge
Sails wave good bye
Behind a curtain
Activate and join
My mind devoid
Reinstate my beloved

And there light will pave the way that you
go
In the light of the silver moon

Sails and wave good bye
Sails and wave good bye

9. Wild Birds Flock To
 Me
Looked like a blue eyes lonely boy
Hair skating to the ground
Read the air between the words
>From a kingdom he was bound
In loving he gave all he could know
All lips lick like a wave
And the blue eyed lonely boy
To every friend a slave

Wild birds
Flock to me
Wild birds
Flock to me

You are the lamb, the king, the sun
Why do you hide away?
Put like a picture on the wall
No one to see your rays
You are inside of sight (an ark)
The fountain of your youth
Come like a moth burn in the flame
Take us though the roof

Wild birds flock to me
Soaring rocks for company
Pure people work on me
Love's own necessity

Wild birds
Flock to me
Wild birds
Flock to me

10. Huuvola
One fine night
The air did bring
Two little ones
Called to be
I am, yours to mind
So let that be
Give your life
It's given free

Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola

When a time
That will come to part us
Forget me night
For it is here
In those missing times
We send our deepest sense to climb
One fine night
When one heart enjoins

Huuvola, huuvola, huuvola, huuvola

Hark, and be well
Go catch the light in every cell
Let the fire take the fire
And the rain wash the pain
May your soul's waters never wane
Make Eden here
Send angel's prayers
May your garden be sweet
Let the fire take the fire
Let the fire take the fire
And the rain wash the pain

Huuvola

11. Cascade
We have no image
We're just called the good friends
We call the madmen back
As they fly to the ant hills
We never know, we never know
We sleep in satin nights
Throwing energy like bluebirds
In twilight

We call to stillness
As we kiss the water king's hand
We hear the one same name
As the darker the land gets
We never know, we never know
We're fueling for the light
Cascading like the rain
In twilight

Waiting for you, you look so close, we walk
a thousand stairs
Aching for your hand, our love a distant
voice, we have no image - we are light

We are not asking
No favors from the dead
We wash with moonlit hands
On the shores of our island
We never know, we never know
We sleep in satin nights
Throwing energy in silver curves
In twilight

12. Wish
I wish it was spring
I wish it was your house
We'd invite the beggars
Hanging 'bout your front fence
Wish I was your tree
I wish I could bend and bow
Like the branch of ash
Bum idols for love

I wish we could dress
In only happy cloaks
And blow rave waves
To the lily pond
I wish I was your mirror
Give you up my wand
Wish I was your mirror
Be your fine shine
Wish I was a nomad
Living in your land
An Irish tinker
Drinking juice of rose
>From your hand
Wish I was a beggar
Waiting at your door

I wish we could dress
In only happy cloaks
And blow rave waves
To the lily pond
I wish I was your mirror
Give you up my wand
Wish I was your mirror
Be your fine shine
I wish I could rush
To see the first sun
Rise to your call
Bum idols for love
