Blue Angel

I - Divided
 Cousins
 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 look, 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.
 II - Half Worlds Apart
 Cousins
 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 veiled 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
 Acquired in a Dresden china cuplet
 Bound in the chains of the half book binding
 Half way 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.
 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 pleasures 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 veil
 Peering to find the angel weaver
 Most sacred saviour of the silver lining
 Half way 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.
 III - At Rest
 Cousins
 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
 That he alone is sane
 So delicate the balance
 That e'er the moon could 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.
