Is it a sunset or a sunrise?

Is it a sunset or a sunrise?

Is it the beginning or the end?

When the sky’s in the red disguise….

When the moon’s a silver crescent…

When the depth of the ocean just deepens….

Its hard to tell and it just depends…

If night falls or the light thickens…

In the forest it echoes twice…

Is it a sunset or a sunrise?

A river ebbing or in high tide….

It just flows, no end in sight….

In the waves we see…

Of all shades serene…

Lies the storm catching up behind…

The mysteries in a moment felt..

With the water it all blends…

So hard to tell an enemy from a friend…

If its the beginning or the end…

To ashes and in the fire….

Dawn and dusk an endless repertoire…

Flowers blossom and birds sing…

Sun and horizon bound in invisible strings….

The flames of a candle bright…

End of many a mournful cries…

Life and death, a never-ending tryst…

Is it a sunset or a sunrise?

But who knew it was the last time…

I’ll come home mother…

This time I will take you with me…

All the dreams I had when I left…

Look closer to reality….

And I have friends here….

Cherished few who really care…

But the warmth that I seek, on nights like these….

I need a blanket, one with your arms wreathe..

And then all my fears would vanish

And all worries would sublime…

Hard days lost in an abundant sunshine…..

And those were his last lines….

But who knew it was the last time…

Twelve years to date….

The reality she still can’t face….

She doesn’t believe he is gone…

And will return home with the same old song…

Ohh yes…He was a painter, a singer, a one-man show…

A carnival wherever he would go…

But he left the small town…

For fame in the cities abound….

And he would paint with strokes so fine…

Like a tribute to all thats divine….

Known as the piper of the alpines….

Who didn’t know that it would be the last time…

And they buried him on the hills….

There he belonged… an empty space to fill…

There he would write and compose…

Ohh those lines fresh as the evergreen rose…

But she can’t read his diary again…

Though she keeps it by her bed in disdain…

Waiting for him to read them to her….

For everything to be same like it was before…

He told her he was coming back for everything he left behind…..

He told her she wouldn’t have to wait past nine….

Minutes turned into hours, no news for days malign….

And who knew it was the last time….

Ohh…Its such a waste… Why in such a haste?

She sent him away..

Yes she regrets sending him away…

But how could she stop him?

It was his dream.. his passion… the life of his soul….

His art, his work, the pieces to behold..

And yet again another what-if story to be told…

Wonder if someone could see it coming?

Wonder what he thought right before leaving?

And he was so blind…

Didn’t know that the future would be unkind….

The ending of a thought benign….

But who knew that it was the last time…

And she doesn’t believe it was the last time….

No you don't stand a chance!

Come on now… don’t laugh…

You know it ain’t true and it wont last…

Drink away another night, pour another glass…

May be the dreams will spare you tonight… Memories wont be harsh….

It’s a dark winter….  Ohh the dark winter of your life….

Not a moment’s peace… not a glimpse of delight….

Don’t be fooled by the silence now… It will take you in its arms…

It will follow you, take another glance….

No you cant get away.. No you don’t stand a chance….

Ohh it was wrong… he made you dance…

He told you- Just one more day wont do any harm….

You wanted to run away… but where would you go…

None of your pain and anger you could show…

Stifled inside… But so much at stake to blow….

Was it worth it, in the end though?

See how everyone around you advanced…

And May be you will get your olive branch…

But you cant get away now and no you don’t stand a chance….

Are you afraid of the shadows even now?

So many years gone by, but its right around the corner how?

Why don’t you just befriend the dark…

At least you won’t be alone and you know it will last…

You lose… in the end he will have the last laugh…

Unless you show the world you can make it past…

And laugh at him…. Even the slightest grin….

Dig up the grave…. And gently push him in…

No you wont do it…. But in your mind you can….

But it will follow you, take another glance….

No you cant get away.. No you don’t stand a chance….

There are things you dont wanna get over....

How much water can my eyes contain?

How deep is the love my heart sustains?

In the keys of the pianoforte, there is a pain…

Forgetting its own song… it plays in vain…

And when the tones slower.. in the silent summer…

A cry you can hear and a shadow hovers….

Far from the distance, my soul it covers….

And there are things you don’t wanna get over…

Hung over baby…. Hung over I am forever…..

On the journeys to distance…

Amongst the faces of autumn liaisons…

The heart still beats in cadence….

It wasn’t replaced and no feelings lessened…

Is it a blessing or is it a curse..

Frozen tears in misty winters…

Peace wont be here… not now.. not never…

But there are things you don’t wanna get over..

Hung over baby.. Hung over I am forever….

Lost all the winning cards….

Still not done chasing the mirage…

And I’ll paint the sky red if I could…

But I refuse to see you go as I should…

In the castle of ashes and embers…. where memories and past linger…

With the shades of death and slumber, I find my gold and silver…

And there are things you don’t wanna get over..

Hung over baby.. Hung over I am forever….

Caged I am… The door’s open… but the feathers’ broken…

Chained I am… the keys on the floor… but my steps shaken..

Give me the mirror and I’ll remember…

The bees life and death in honey amber…

Relishing the last drops of spirit and vesper..

There’s a bond I cannot sever…

Because there are things you don’t wanna get over..

Hung over baby.. Hung over I am forever….

In search of my evening star

Another glass of margarita,

Another shot of tequila…

One more night with my guitar…

Warmth from the ashes of my cigar…

In search of the evening star…

Looking outside the window,

There are shadows falling from the sky…

It must be here then,

But I can’t find it again…

And its smiling somewhere afar…

Ohh! Why could’t it stay….

Why it had to go away?

Shining through the maple trees or on coasts of the west….

Twinkle on the bridge, or on oceans crest….

No news from near or far….

And the nights’s like a scar…

It hurts everyday, ohh! Just show me the way…

So, I can see my evening star….

Hiding behind the clouds…

Covering the old wounds….

How much pain is in its heart?

Crumbled to pieces, hurt in places…

Bright as ever like an old work of art…

To make it stay…

I wish everyday…

I put a penny in the jar…

In search of my evening star….

Dust in the wind- Kansas lyrics

I close my eyesOnly for a moment and the moment's goneAll my dreamsPass before my eyes with curiosity
Dust in the windAll they are is dust in the wind
Same old songJust a drop of water in an endless seaAll we doCrumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
(Aa aa aa)Dust in the windAll we are is dust in the windOh, ho, ho
Now don't hang onNothin' last forever but the earth and skyIt slips awayAnd all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the windAll we are is dust in the wind(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind(Everything is dust in the wind)Everything is dust in the wind(In the wind)

Yesterday- Beatles lyrics

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Ohh.. Bring back those summer-filled days again…

Ohh.. Bring back those summer-filled days again…

Lets get carried away and bring in the rain…

Ohh.. the mellow shores and the green plains….

Waiting on the railway station.. taking the evening train…

And we should visit the caves where the mistletoes hang…

The desires and yearnings, there it all began..

Shrouded in darkness… But butterflies sang..

Isn’t that how your heart is.. deep inside full of childlike games?

The old church where the bells rang…

The peaceful tune from the chords sprang..

The tones still divine and tall it still stands…

Bouncing off the moonlight, like nights own band….

Ohh lets go to the church again.. to the blessed land…

Swim away with the symphony, enchanted by the chants…

Listen to the legend of the pirate’s organ and a ship so grand…

And look for the ship again… taken by the sea… drawn in the sand…

The country music in the downtown…

Dancing in the streetlight till it dawned..

Dance till the heart beats to the country score….

Dance till we are different no more…

Ohh bring back those days when life felt like never before….

The antique shop and the bookstore…

Writing messages on paper scrolls....

Off into the sea, found on another shore…

Or lost treasure of an island, like stars on the ocean floor…

What’s lost? What’s found? Its destiny we cannot adore….

Ohh why its destiny we cannot adore?

So, lets swim to the depths of the ocean floor…

Ask the wise souls from the ancient lore…

Can we bring back those days when life felt like never before?

A letter from the reaper’s lover afar…

What widow’s son wanted to say before going to the war…

Half a life, half a story, in need of time to unfold…

Half moon in the sky while sun on the horizon holds…

Ohh! Why such passion and feeling goes untold?

Ohh! Why night descends before the magic unfolds…

Ocean’s silt, a river’s filth… doesn’t turn into gold..

Heartfelt feelings worth a century’s reliving and there could have been so much more…

If only we could bring back those days when life felt like never before…

And what if we could bring back those days when life felt like never before?

So, why’s the sun not rising anymore?

And wind blows on different shores…

Rain seeping through forest’s pores…

Giza in all its glory… becomes Atlantis of legends old…

Simmering sand, slipping through fingers.. shaping into a different mould..

Envision the dreadful change.. tomorrows beauty to behold..

Tomorrow’s full of days like never before…

And heart yearns for the past no more….

Because the heart yearns for the past no more….

Songbird- Oasis lyrics

Talking to the songbird yesterday 
Flew me to a past not far away 
She's a little pirate in my mind 
Singing songs of love to pass the time 

Gonna write a song so she can see 
Give her all the love she gives to me 
Talk of better days that have yet to come 
Never felt this love from anyone 

She's not anyone
She's not anyone 
She's not anyone 

A man can never dream these kind of things 
Especially when she came and spread her wings 
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night 

Gonna write a song so she can see 
Give her all the love she gives to me 
Talk of better days that have yet to come 
Never felt this love from anyone 

She's not anyone
She's not anyone 
She's not anyone

Don't wanna wake up from this dream...

Don’t wanna wake up from this dream…

Why don’t I wanna wake from this dream?

I know I am living a lie…

The song playing brings tears to my eyes…

The book I am reading, the people I see..

All remind me of what could have been….

For one more day, let me live with this thought unseen…

For one more day, I don’t wanna wake up from this dream…

With you by my side…

Brushing hair off my face, 

Merging your thoughts with mine…

Wishing I could put a hold on the time…

Because the reality isn’t but the dream is mine….

There’s a place where the candles are dim…

My words and feelings are in perfect sync….

Twilight in the air and color of sunset tint

Rare it is to find yourself irretrievably linked…

Rare is this place, safe within my dream….

Real it is to me, as real as the entire being…

Let me show you… don’t touch, just feel….

Scars on the wall, don’t rush, let it heal….

Stormy it was yesterday, tomorrow is serene…

Never again will this beautiful a dream I will dream..

Will wash away in time as my tears stream…

Oh God! Will I ever wake up from this dream?

I only see the best in you

There’s this song in my heart…

But the melody was missing the tune…

The puzzle lost some parts…

But now they seem so few….

It’s a mystery and I bid the past adieu…

Maybe, because I only see the best in you…

And where it all began, I have no clue….

May be when I was catching the raindrops with you…

Forgetting the fine line between what is and what isn’t true…

But that’s the reason, I only see the best in you…

On the road to what you wished for…

Searching the stars for the right one….

Looking for meanings in ancient lore…

In way of my imagination…

Our paths crossed the way they were meant to…

I knew your eyes and the shade that colors you…

And that’s the reason, I only see the best in you….

Its not what you say… And its not what you do…

Its all you hide… with a fire burning inside….

Living for others, laughing as you do….

That’s the reason, I only see the best in you…

Riding into the unknown…

Blaming the clouds for hiding the moon…

Singing off into the dawn…

Calling for night again soon…

Always taking the road we never knew…..

Always learning what we thought we could never do….

Maybe because it brings out the best in you….

Walking on the sun as we do…

No limits between me and you…

Doubts and fear melt away and no reason’s due..

And that’s because I only see the best in you….

You make me wonder where forests end…

What message does the wind send?

You make me think how Syrah and Zinfandel blend…

What happens to the dreams that don’t end?

Long lost puzzles, I didn’t know you were lost too….

Unanswered, unsolved till now, thought of by very few….

Together we find answers to all questions old and new…

And that’s the reason I only see the best in you….

So, see it in my eyes as we make it through…

Look up in the night sky, there’s a reflection that I drew…

Can you find yourself, picture perfect I painted you….

And that’s because I only see the best in you…..

Going to the place where rain went…

Chasing the wish on my eyes to start again…

Believing in you and in the reason you were sent…

Hoping someday the roads will bend….

All paths in a circle and if I keep going I will find you…

Or its ever diverging and somewhere else, it leads to…

But I have to go now and you said life will go on too…

And I am doing as you say, seeing all that’s the best in you….

But, there’s a part of me that I am giving you..

And it’s all I got and all that’s the best too…

Because this is everything I ever wanted to do…

And because I believe in you, more than you yourself could….

And because you don’t know that I always have and always will see only the best in you…
