Kite
(E.J. Geel)
Every time I look at the sky that kite is hanging there
high above the hills that make the only barrier
I looked over someone’s shoulder for something to last
and woke up in a grey and dusty past
chorus:
Kite, fly
Kite, fly, as high as you can, as high as you can.
Don’t look down upon our madness, it will make you sad
millions of eyes that focus on some point ahead
herds of people pushing their way through the streets
the dream laying crushed under our feet
(chorus)
for there’s no way to ever understand this world we live in
fly on, free and easy
to where the mind can still breathe
to where the heart still beats with passion
Kite, fly
Kite, fly
Every time I look the sky that kite is hanging there
it’s there for the joy of man, but no one seems to care
it’s all about how deep we bleed and how high we score
no one seems to want it anymore
(chorus)
Picky me
(E.J. Geel)
Well, you may think you do
but you don’t know who I am
I had my heart broken, but I broke the heart of
at least one man
now there you stand with that strange light in your eyes
so irresistible you make me want to compromise
But I can’t make the same mistake
I made so many times before
maybe we should take some time to think
so we will both be sure
chorus:
For it’s gonna take a lot of love
yes, it’ gonna take a tough boy to meet my needs
and it’s gonna take a lot of heart
it’s gonna take a lot of hard work to meet my needs
but if you want love, good old strong love
the higher love, through-the-fire-love
then try to love
picky me
I just came stumbling out of a troubled past
my faith got shaken, I guess I ran too fast
you’d have to break through a cold wall of pride
to reach my fragile heart
do you think it’s worth the try?
No man is good enough for me, you see
and yet I feel lost without a man
God, I want you desperately
but try to understand
(chorus)
The warmth of your smile
(E.J. Geel)
I don’t know what this is
is it a lasting flame or just some trivial game?
I just know that I miss you
when you’re out of sight, enveloped by the night
and I lay my head on my pillow
with just one thing on my mind
the line of your lips
the soft touch of your fingertips
the warmth of your smile
oh, darling, hang on in there for a while
I don’t know what this means
should I make it stay or let it fly away?
I just fear that these dreams
are bound to hurt me more than I’ve ever been hurt before
and while I sip my morning tea
you’re still here with me
the joy on your face
the sweet pain of your strong embrace
the warmth of your smile
oh darling hang on in there for a while
Maybe it’s all just my imagination
maybe it’s all for real
now I don’t know what to make of it
but I know what I feel
oh I
you know I love you more
than I’ve ever loved before
Rush
(E.J. Geel)
Every time I close my eyes
I see you, I feel you, I know you and I
were driven out of paradise
and driven into separate lives
But we’ve got a place
in time and space
the only thing we have to do
is push on through
chorus:
Oh, rush now, slide
ride that storm
come on and get me now, cowboy
Rush now, slide
ride that storm
come on and get me, cowboy
Won’t you let me
be the lost and wandering soul
loose from the herd, out of the light
baby, I can’t bear the cold
it chills me, it may kill me tonight
I know our love
will shift the stars above
I can hardly wait for you to be
up there with me
(chorus)
When you halt for a drink
Beneath the neon lights
with the other lonesome travelers
In the heart of the night
Keep this thought in mind
So you won’t fall asleep at the wheel
Think of what you’ll have once you get here
Think of what you’ll feel
(chorus)
Blind Kiss
(E.J. Geel)
I must have known
the unexpected break in time
would bring it all on
on a cold rainy night
a perfect night for memories
to revive
A blind kiss from a long lost friend
and while he talks the only thing I understand
is that it’s late
damn late, I’d better go
yes, it’s way, way too late for changes,
I know
The light in your hair
a timid smile on lips afraid to declare
we were born with age-old pride
and stubbornness that won’t recede
nor subside
Your blind kiss has made me see
I’ve lived my life so carelessly
but now it’s late, damn late, I’d better go
yes, it’s way, way too late for changes
I know
Your blind kiss has made me see
and I’m downright upset about what you still mean to me
but it’s late
damn late, I’d better go
it may be late for changes, but it’s never too late to love
Preface to a dream
(E.J. Geel)
For you I’ll build another dream
so we will have a place to come to
for you I’ll paint the walls of green
and write a million sweet I love you’s on them
for you I made another promise to myself
that I’ll never leave another dream abandoned on the shelf
For you, the one who drew the line
thinking we would never cross it
but what we had is still alive,
survived the times, we never lost it
for you I’ll climb another ladder to the moon
and smile as I float back into space again
chorus:
For you
I turned my head around and the world went crazy
for you I whispered in the wind and it caused storm
for you I’d rewind my life back to where I left you, baby, for you
for you
Now that we are here
beyond the guards, it’s easy
once the sun will rise
we’ll look into each other’s eyes and breathe
For you I’ll build another dream
upon the pieces of the story
I’ll fill the rooms with songs
that echoe out in every corner
and I’ll lie there listening to the music
of your footsteps in the hall
and smile as a fall asleep without you, babe
(chorus)
Come and carry me away
(E.J. Geel)
Dark blue and crimson red
these are the colors that I used to paint my bed
gold leaf and sienna brown
shine in your eyes as you drive into town
Come and carry me away upon your love
‘cause I need you
and I’d fall out of my frame without you
yes, I need you
to hold me
Tight, tonight
fearless, until the cold morning light
will strip us of those heavy veils
and we can close the book of fairy tales
Come and carry me away upon your love
‘cause I need you
and I’d fall out of this world without you
yes, I need you
to hold me, tight, yeah
Incense- ashes on the floor
the only thing that can break the silence
will be the knock on my door
this burning desire will set this house on fire
oh I can’t wait any more
Come and carry me away upon your love
‘cause I need you
and I’d fall out of myself without you
yes, I need you
to hold me
Thirty-eight Special
(E.J. Geel)
Birthday number 38
it means as much to me as a hair lock out of place but
I’ve invited everyone to see
that I’m as smart as I look,
the dress may be a little tight but the lipstick’s right
for kisses and philosophy
What’s the surprise you have in mind?
A porcelain dog, a box of incense sticks
or a necklace with a heart of stone?
Will you just bring in the air from outside?
Don’t bring anything, bring even less, if you like but
please try to be alone, or
Will you bring your
new lover on my birthday?
You’ll bring your new lover on my birthday.
Don’t bring your new lover on my birthday
for I might not survive, I honestly confess
the sight of
you and her in the bliss of dreariness
You will drag her in by her
willing little hand, and she’ll gaze around the room with innocent eyes
and then you’ll whisper something explicit in her ear
Later on tonight, she’ll be asleep on the couch
and you will join me in the kitchen and
that’s when I’ll ruin the atmosphere
By saying exactly what I think, when you ask me what I think of her,
I’ll say she’s a pretty girl,
but she’s a damn meager trade
and you’ll defend her with the fierceness of those who are in love
and can’t tell a real diamond from a fake
oh, don’t make that silly move
of bringing your new lover on my birth-day
you’ll bring your new lover on my birthday
don’t bring your new lover on my birthday
I might not survive, I reluctantly confess
the sight of you and her in the bliss of happiness
So she’s supposed to be the ideal girl
who’s always in for anything you want
never opposing to you boring plans
without opinions of her own, oh..
You’ll bring your new lover on my birthday
You’ll bring your new lover on my birthday.
Don’t bring your new lover on my birthday
for I might not survive, I honestly confess
the sight of you and her in the bliss of dreariness
Safe is not to say a word
(E.J. Geel)
Don’t worry about me, it’s nothing
I’m just myself and I can’t help it
What people say doesn’t matter to me
For they only judge by what they see
And they don’t even see
A little beneath the surface
Well, if they would they’d see a likeness
We’re all so afraid to come down from our throne
And yet so afraid to be alone
chorus:
Safe is not to say a word
That way you won’t say a lie
Safer is to say that it is all absurd
That I should laugh instead of cry
Oh, don’t worry ‘bout me, It’s nothing
It’s just a phase, and I’ll break out of it
But should I deny what I truly feel?
It’s just too much to conceal
A chance for me to be real
(chorus)
Oh, don’t worry ‘bout me, It’s nothing
I’m just a fool and ain’t that something
Soon you’ll become a remote little star
But until you are
Here’s where I am: in trouble,
but you see
That’s me
A truly noble cause
(E.J. Geel)
Look, this is the hand
a lobed leaf on a strange plant
the hand that brushed away the fear
now darts through my head
The hand that holds the wheel
turns the key, somehow seems frail
in the light of the fridge
yet it’s stronger than ever
This is the hand
it lies next to yours, my friend
infinitely tempted, always in control
I sealed the yawning depth
pulled the zipper up to my chin
taped off my mouth and eyes and ears
no out, no in
So this is how brave we are
the war in my head and your terrified eye
on the bulk of my desire that stands against the sky
like a bastion
This is the hand
it fits in yours, my friend
keeping it away from you
I’m acting merely in defense
of a truly noble cause
Now look, this is my hand
a withered leaf on a wild plant
the hand that used to hesitate
now darts through my head
The hand that holds the brush
strums the strings, pumps gas,
breaks the wall of glass
is more determined than ever
This is the hand
it’s similar to yours, my friend
infinitely tempted, always in control
I have just been crushed
and my dress sits here without me
we look away and hush
for we can do without ourselves,
we can do without ourselves, can’t we?
This is the hand
it fits in yours, my friend
keeping it away from you
I’m acting merely in defense
of a truly noble cause
Shine on, little lights
(E.J. Geel)
Countless little lights
line the runway of this sad goodbye
like eyes that glimmer with affection
in the darkness below.
Oh, those little lights
may they lead me to the other side
of the earth, where the sun is of a blazing gold
And yet God only knows what I’ll find there
will I be the star of the show
or fall into decline there?
Shine on, little lights
drive my consciousness to greater heights
so I won’t look down
and just fly on high
