Array ( [sid] => 174113 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => State Of Mind [time] => 2012-10-27 07:57:22 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In this crazy state of mind
I allow myself to dream
of the willows in the wind
by a gently flowing stream
and I listen as they whisper
"You are home, at home at last
lie in peace beside the water
let your tears be in the past "

I see lilies in the field
just across the river there
and the fragrance of late spring
tells a tale upon the air
and I listen as it whispers
"You are home, at home at last
lie in peace beside the water
let your tears be in the past "

What is life but constant struggle with each single gasping breath
Just a comedy of errors and the final joke is death
From the depths of desperation fate has shown its ugly face
and each fleeting hope for happiness is gone without a trace...

In this crazy state of mind
When my back is to the wall
I allow myself to dream...

but the dreamers always fall

and the willows and the waters
and the lilies take a bow
home and peace are dim and distant
and my tears are here and now
