Fault Lines


Each day has it's particular flavor of sadness {Fault.Lines.}

All around are me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrows
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very,
Mad world, Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
May they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad world, Mad world
Mad world, Mad world

Dark I Know Well

[MORITZ]
Those you’ve known
And lost still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you
Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you
Know that they have found you

[WENDLA]
Those you’ve pained
May carry that still with them
All the same
They whisper: “All forgiven.”
Still your heart says
The shadows bring the starlight
And everything you’ve ever been is
Still there in the dark night

[WENDLA, MORITZ, AND MELCHIOR]
When the northern wind blows
[Though you know you've left them far behind]
The sorrows your heart holds
[You walk on by yourself and not with them]
There are those who still know
[Still you know they will fill your heart and mind]
They’re still home
[When they say there's a way through this]
We’re still home

[ALL THREE]
Those you’ve known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
Their song still seems to find you
They call you
As if you knew their longing
They whistle through the lonely wind
the long blue shadows falling

[MELCHIOR]
All alone
But still I hear their yearning
Through the dark, the moon,
Alone there, burning
The stars too
They tell of spring returning
And summer with another wind
That no one yet has known

[ALL THREE]
When the northern wind blows
[They call me through all things]
The sorrows your heart’s known
[Night's falling but somehow I go on]
I believe…
[You watch me, just watch me- I'm calling from longing]

[MELCHIOR]
Now they’ll walk on my arm through the distant night
And I won’t let them stray from my heart
Through the wind, through the dark,
Through the winter light
I will read all their dreams to the stars

I’ll walk now with them
I’ll call on their names
I’ll see their thoughts are known

Not gone
Not gone
They walk with my heart [not gone]
I’ll never let them go [not gone]
I’ll never let them go [not gone]
I’ll never let them go
You watch me
Just watch me
I’m calling
I’m calling
And one day all will know

Father/Daughter Dance

My wedding is in less than 4 months. Everytime I hear this song I cry. I'm dancing with my Dad to it. Give it a whirl.
