ALLISON

I’ve never been one to philosophize
I just take it as it comes or let it go by
A new world is born for each old one that dies
and the weathervane rotates on the chapel

By the mad ruthless hunters the meek are pursued
But it’s not need nor not hunger that’s pullin’ me through
Just the way that the sky takes its colours from you
and the way the sun feeds on your shadows

Allison, I love the way that you move
out of time with this world
Allison, and how you keep hangin’ on
the way you keep hangin’ on

From a prevous lifetime I was out on parole
Sent to a strange kingdom to gain back my soul
Where the angels get caught in nets cast by the trolls
who stand on the top of the mountains;

I saw you alone in a gathering of men
Each one of them wanted to be more than your friend
They all looked to you, but you looked beyond them
and I knew then and there that I’d found it

Allison, I love the way that you move
out of time with this world
Allison, and how you keep hangin’ on
the way you keep hangin’ on

Now the sun’s comin’ up and I’m on my way
To where I hear your voice callin’ from far ’cross the waves
Each moment’s in flames, every movement’s engraved
on the eyes of the unseen observer

And the true faithful heart that you sought on your quest
Did I happen to mention I found it last?
It’s yours for the taking, you don’t have to ask
just tell me where you want it delivered

Allison, I love the way that you move
out of time with this world
Allison, and how you keep hangin’ on
the way you keep hangin’ on
