Song: Mist

Sometimes the Muse comes to you and she's a beautiful, sweet lady of great wisdom. Well, the Muse came to me last night all dressed in black, she'd dyed her hair black, put on black lipstick and had a number of piercings.

Do bear in mind that this is still a rough copy. Writ by me in the wee hours...


Standing alone on the street
Standing in silence my mind goes adrift
The past and tomorrow aren't sweet
Why is it all of my dreams turn to mist?

Lying alone in your bed
Shy and embarassed like I've never been kissed
Your skin is desire and dread
Why have my fantasies fled into mist

Moonlight and moonshrouds turn me around
Sunlight and symphony blow me away
Moonshine and moonpies can choke me I've found
Sunshine and sandman win for today

Hanging around with my crowd
Hoping that someone will give me a lift
I'll never say so aloud
Or pity will turn into sound, turn into mist

Moonlight and moonshrouds turn me around
Sunlight and symphony blow me away
Moonshine and moonpies can choke me I've found
Sunshine and sandman win for today

(bridge)
Dreams are the tokens I never can spend
Time is the force that confuses my mind
My touch insubstantial I'm always alone
When beaten I feel evry stick every stone
I don't know how I ever can mend
Alone at the party I'm stuck left behind
The sirens of stormtroopers drown my ideals
Can anyone give me a court of appeals?

Walking alone in the rain
Droplets and thunder an atonal riff
Clarity not in my brain
Teardrops are falling in vain, swallowed by mist

Your hand on mine in the night
My hand on yours sliding down to your wrist
Please hold me close, hold me tight
Holding you is such a damn sight better than mist

Moonlight and moonshrouds turn me around
Sunlight and symphony blow me away
Moonshine and moonpies can choke me I've found
Sunshine and sandman win for today

Sandman and sunshine will not hold me long
Moonpies and moonshine are not wholly wrong
Symphony sunlight may not be my song
Moonshrouds and moonlight are strong-
- but no stronger than mist.
