Blue Angel

The gypsy girl stood quite alone
Her eyes were brightly shining
Her head was in the clouds
Where she had found the silver lining
And all the while the crippled boy
Was dancing with his lady fair
While I stood on the sidelines
Trying to make out that I wasn't there

So loud the music grew and grew
With ever greater pain
I stepped back in the shadows
For I could not stand the strain
I tried to move but my eyes were blind
I tried to speak but could not find the words to say

They left me lying where I lay
I could not bear the light of day
Treat me kindly dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight
Treat me kindly dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight

So I lay in half world dream state
Pressed like a flower in the pages of a half book
Words in softly spoken whispers
Steal through the silence of the blue veined half light

The best of questions have no answers
The best of answers need no questions
Born on the quest for a wave of half peace
Quiet in a Dresden china cuplet

Bound in the chains of the half book binding
Halfway to my half life
Treat me kindly dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight
Treat me kindly dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight

So she lay in half museum
Pinned like a butterfly which failed to reach its half life
Tender moments left half spoken
Lost like an orphan in the pages of the dream state

A man of honour has no secrets

How can I be a man of secrets?

Trapped in the web of the woven blue vein

Hearings of the angel weaver
The sacred saviour of the silver lining
Halfway to my half life
Treat me kindly dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night

Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight
Treat me kindly dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight

Treat me kindly, dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight

Sleep the sleep of peace, my love
And I will let you be
I alone can comfort
I alone can set you free
I will be your healer
And give you back your pride
In times of need, remember me
At rest here by your side

When the hour of darkness comes
And time itself stands still
When voices from the future
Seem to come and go at will
I will be your servant
Your ever-constant guide
When all is lost, remember me
At rest here by your side

The wisdom of the fool is such
And he alone is sane
So delicate the balance
E'er the moon both wax and wane
I will be your teacher
And show you where to hide
When all else fails, remember me
At rest here by your side

Treat me kindly, dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight
Treat me kindly, dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night

Oh, be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight
Treat me kindly, dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
For I have no strength to fight
Treat me kindly, dear blue angel
Deepest colour of the night
Be merciful, be gentle
