« دریغا »
دریغا کز جفا چندیست ، هوای قصه طوفانیست چکاوک در قفس محبوس ، حدیثی از شقایق نیست دگر شبتاب به روی شب پس از باران نمی تابدپرستو هم در این غوغا دگر اینجـا نمی آیـد که بود آن کس که در بیشه صدای سازها را بست ؟قلم را بر غزل بشکست پـر پروازهـا را بست
بمان ای راوی باران هنوز اینجا شقایق هستهنوزم عالمی حسرت سر دار حقایق هست
بخوان آواز از سر گیر ببیـن من هم صدا دارم
به پای خاک این بیشه بدا ن جان را فدا دارمدر میخانه را بگشا به روی سردرش بنویس چکاوک داد حق می زد الهی مرده باد ابلیس
خداوندا !
اگر روزی تو از عرشت به زیر آیی...لباس فقررا پوشی
غرورت را برای نان بریزی پای نامردان
وگر با مردمان انگیزی شتابان در پی روزی
زپیشانی عرق ریزی وشب آزرده و خسته
شهید دست و زبان بسته به سوی خانه باز آیی
زمین و آسمان را کفر گویی
اگر در ظهر گرماخیز تابستان کنار سایه ی دیوار
تن خود را به دست خاک بسپاری
لبان تشنه را در کاسه ی مسینی قیر اندود بگذاری
وقدری آن طرفتر خانه ی مومن در روبه رو بینی
ودستانت برای سکه ای این سوی و آنسو در گذر باشد
به امیدی که شاید رهگذاری از درد دلت باخبر باشد
زمین و آسمان را کفر گویی
خداوندا !!!!
اگر روزی بشر گردی زحال من با خبر گردی
و با چشمان خود نامردمی ها را بینی
باز پشیمان میشوی از قصه ی خلقت
از این بودن
از این بدعت
زمین و آسمان را کفر می گویی
نمی گویی؟؟؟!!!
خداوندا تو میدانی که انسان بودن و ماندن در این دنیا چه دشوار است
چه رنجی میکشد آنکس که انسان است و از احساس سرشار است!
You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always
I really feel
That I’m losing my best friend
I can’t believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you’re letting go
And if it’s real,
Well I don’t want to know
Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and i
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts no no no
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
And I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
It’s all ending,
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me
I can see us dying... are we?
Don’t speak
I know just what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts no no
Don’t speak
I know what you’re thinking
And I don’t need your reasons
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
Don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
I know what you’re saying
So please stop explaining
Don’t speak don’t speak don’t speak
No I know what you’re thinking
And I don’t need your reasons
I know you good I know you good
I know you real good oh
La la la la la la la la la
Don’t don’t ooh ooh
Hush hush darling
Hush hush darling
Hush hush don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
Hush hush darling
Hush hush darling
Hush hush don’t tell me ’cause it hurts
Spanish train
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
and people hear she's running still...
And then they hush their children back to sleep,
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep,
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!
Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side,
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died,
But above his bed just a-waiting for the dead,
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye,
"Well God's not around and look what I've found,
this one's mine!!"
Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light,
And shouted at the Devil, "Get thee hence to endless night!!"
But the Devil just grinned and said "I may have sinned,
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst,
He's going underground!!"
"But I think I'll give you one more chance"
said the Devil with a smile,
"So throw away that stupid lance,
It's really not your style",
"Joker is the name, Poker is the game,
we'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet,
the souls of the dead!!"
And I said "Look out, Lord, He's going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, He's going to win!.."
Well the railwayman he cut the cards
And he dealt them each a hand of five,
And for the Lord he was praying hard
Or that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king,
And the Lord, he was running for a straight,
He had the queen and the knave and nine and ten of spades,
All he needed was the eight...
And then the Lord he called for one more card,
But he drew the diamond eight,
And the Devil said to the son of God,
"I believe you've got it straight,
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place,
But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak,
He slipped another ace...
Ten thousand souls was the opening bid,
And it soon went up to fifty-nine,
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did,
And he said "that suits me fine",
"I'll raise you high to a hundred and five,
And forever put an end to your sins",
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, "My hand wins!!"
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you let him win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line,
Oh Lord, don't let him win..."
Well that Spanish train still runs between,
And at dead of night the whistle blows,
And people fear she's running still...
And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess,
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls,
And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best...
And I said "Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is still on time, oh my soul is on the line,
Oh Lord, you've got to win..."

A Tale That Wasn't Right
Here I stand all alone
Have my mind turned to stone
Have my heart filled up with ice
to avoid it's breakin' twice
Thank to you, my dear old friend
But you can't help, this is the end
Of a tale that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep tonight
In my heart, in my soul
I really hate to pay this toll
Should be strong, young and bold
But the only thing I feel is pain
It's alright, we'll stay friends
Trustin' in my confidence
And let's say it's just alright
You won't sleep alone tonight
With my heart, with my soul
Some guys cry you bought and sold
They've been strong, young and bold
And they say, play this song again
