Polichinelle

The Prayer Boat Polichinelle Lyrics
1.Dark Green

Lyricist:Emmett Tinley

Sunday morning, garden colors
Tripping over every moment
As they come fast like racing birds
Swirling for the gathering

Little children being golden
Hanging on to window dreaming
Don't tell them lies, don't deceive them
They rise now from the daisy fields

Oh, let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change

Won't be long now before it turns
These heavy days of prophet tales
All shameless rhyme and remedy
Leave behind us when we sail

Let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change

You're inner mind, there's more to feel
Out to the stars, there's more to feel
Don't let go of your lover's hand
Everything may soon be over

Oh, let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change

Let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change

Let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change


2.Polichinelle

Lyricist:Tinley Emmett Allan

I said the first thing that came into my head
I said you have a friend in me who knows
That running's not the same for everyone

'Cause if you stay there has to be someone to hold you
Every day, someone to need you
To make a fire out of the gray confusion

There's nothing on the radio
You've gone as far as you can go
Everywhere is emptiness
And everyone is loneliness

But I'll help you if you want me to
I'll help you if you let me through
I'll be the one you tell
Let it go Polichinelle

Where's my funny girl?
Are you ready to believe it's true
That everything we love we lose?
Only in your mind can you choose

Not to live again
And you could find your smile tomorrow
Remember what was beautiful
Not the dark inventions of your burning sorrow

There's nothing on the radio
You've gone as far as you can go
Everywhere is emptiness
And everyone is loneliness

But I'll help you if you want me to
I'll help you if you let me through
I'll be the one you tell
Let it go Polichinelle

Run, abandon your name
The lies, the hurt and the blame
Tonight you're standing on the edge
In hopeless tears that only I can hear
The telephone can't bring you here


3.Paralysed

Lyricist:Tinley Emmett Allan

I wanted to write you a letter
Something that would betray me
And tell you I was older in my head
More scared than I said

Oh, but I wait one more day
Hoping for the stalemate to end
Immobile and fading
We reach for anything

Paralysed, you were the motion and I
Was always the lone one
I need you now to decide

There's a difference here
Between the future and I
I Don't look for reasons to live
I never want to die

Paralysed, you were the motion and I
Was always the lone one
I need you now to decide

Ooh, ooh
All that I had is trapped in the ruins of our life
How long before I lose the light

How long before I lose the light
How long before I lose the light
How long before I lose the light

I wanted to write you a letter
Something that would betray me
And tell you I was older in my head
More scared than I said

Paralysed, you were the motion and I
Was always the lone one
I need you now to decide


4.It Hurts To Lose You

January was blinding
As we climbed from the basement
Said goodbye for the last time
In a bar by the Grand Canal

Thanks for confiding
The pain you were hiding
But don't let the silence
Come back to your eyes

'Cause I heard the music
Your soul was making
It hurts to lose you
Just before we made it

You took my hat with a sad smile
And paid me back with your photograph
Though I needed to know why
I tried only to make you laugh

After you left the sky
Rained for the first time
And I went to see what I
Could find to blow my mind

And I heard the music
Your soul was making
It hurts to lose you
Just before we made it

Now you write mad poetry
In your room with dead roses
Just one more life story
That cries from the ocean

And wait for the dark tide
That comes to you day and night
Is it too late to take your side
Too late to win the fight?

'Cause I heard the music
Your soul was making
It hurts to lose you
Just before we made it
