She Couldn't Hide

She was a tender soul 

With a fragile mind

And a wild way about her 


She left home young 

With songs unsung 

On paths that tried to bind her 


She went south to north 

And outside in 

And found a well to hold her 


A well so wide 

She couldn't hide 

The voice that lived inside her

Turning Wheels and Ticking Time

I'm sitting in someone else's home 

But the darkness in this room's my own

I was with you once but now you're gone 

So I face this tired time alone


This fragile heart is split in two

One is mine and one's for you

But if my love always falls thru 

How will I know if love is true?


Turning wheels and ticking time 

Will bring me to a truth that's mine 

But only if I break and cry

And open up new eyes that shine


But shining isn't all it seems 

When human eyes can barely see

That life and death are merely streams

That flow into each other's dreams


Turning wheels and ticking time 

Will bring me to a truth that's mine 

But only if I break and cry

And open up new eyes that shine


So wake up, dear, to all your pain 

And know all that will remain 

Is something lost and something gained 

So take the chance to live again 


Turning wheels and ticking time 

Will bring me to a truth that's mine 

But only if I break and cry

And open up new eyes that shine
