MARILLION

I had this dream. That monkey inside o'me.
Gone skulkin away.
Leavin' me seeing.. Being.

Seeing
Being

Drinking lemon tea
And feeling free
Chilling in the sunshine
On this dreamy street

2. This Train Is My Life

---

This train is my life
Speeding through the night
We have been to these places
For barely a moment

Wide awake
Sometimes sleeping
Sometimes watching
Sometimes dreaming

Through stroby stations
Too fast to know their names
Too fast to know if we came or will come again

Sleeping towns joined together
By the steel of the rails
Parallel lines
Parallel lives

You and I
We're movie-rich
We're reflected in the window
The dark night's black mirror glass
Distant lights from the wrong side of the tracks

Christmas lights
Go by in the houses
Anonymous windows
Anonymous rooms of
Anonymous souls

So take my hand
Squeeze it tight
Make some light
In the darkness
I'm glad you came on this trip
Don't lose your grip
Don't lose your grip
This train is my life
This train is my life

Travel with me
And we'll see..

3. Essence

---

'Tell you what I want
Essence
'Tell you what I need
Essence
What I'm looking for
Essence

Sit in silence close your eyes, feel the magic everywhere inside you
Fingers toes head heart and soul, connected deep to every living thing
Not just the taste, the touch, the smell
Or the face you know so well
Not the 400 word description
The book, the film, the faithful depiction
Get out of here
Get out while you can
Choose life, strive for essence

Choose life, Choose living
Choose life, Choose living
Go digging, Go digging
Go digging, Go digging
Go digging for essence
for Essence
for Essence

Sit in silence and watch the sky
Feel the magic deep inside you
Every woman and every man
Turn off your mind and you'll understand

Sit in silence and watch the sky yeah
Feel the energy inside outside

Aint one damn thing means a thing in this life
til you get close to Essence, til you try
Every man and woman listen to me, hey
Live in the moment or you'll never be free

Essence
Essence
Essence.

Choose life, Choose essence.

4. Wrapped Up in Time

---

Things come wrapped up in time
Like the past in a present
Or the perfect line in a song

They take their time
And when they're gone
They take their time with them

And you can't have them back
Because the time for them has gone
And their time has gone with them

The time for them has gone.

There's an echo of them
An echo of the time they were wrapped in
Sweet or bitter in the memory
But an echo is all, all I can reach now

An echo of you
An echo of you
An echo of you in your time

Still echoing
Like a star in the sky
Like a star in the sky above me

And the story of it's life
Told backwards down this rod of light
But at it's beginning..
Long extinct.

6. Nothing Fills The Hole

---

I wanted it til I got it
I wanted it til I got it
Believed in it til I saw it
I needed it til I had it
I guess I live to regret it
I dreamed of it til I got it
Believed in it til I saw it
I needed it til I had it
I wanted it til I got it
I wanted it til I got it
I wanted it til I got it
Believed in it til I saw it
I needed it til I had it
Then I wanted something else

I wanted to be free
I didn't last a week
There aint no pleasing me
That's how it's gonna be

Nothing fills the hole
Nothing fills the hole
Nothing fills the hole

7. Woke Up

---

Woke up in a city that doesn’t sleep
Full of rain
You woke me up

Woke up in a city down by the sea
Like a dream
You woke me up

I woke up in a city full of snow
And history and beauty and Christmas-lights and cold
With angels that come when all is lost
In golden light at dead of night
They take you home
And I woke up
I woke up

Woke up in a city that doesn’t sleep
You woke me up, You woke me up, You woke me up

And I woke up in a city by the sea
You woke me up, You woke me up, You woke me up

You woke me up

I woke up in a city full of rain
The world had stopped
I woke up to feel no pain
Day from night
Anti-gravity and light
It’s so clear, just what I’m doing here

The blinding obvious is what you showed to me.

8. Trap the Spark

---

The love that pounds your heart through your chest every night
Until the bed jumps beneath you and scares you white

Trap the spark and hold it there
You can't. You can't
Goose-bumps that don't fade away
They can't remain

I've opened the box and I've touched the treasures of the earth
They're buried on the island far away
And I'm here in England with the map burning my pocket
Dreaming of diamonds..
Such a blinding secret to bear.

Trap the spark and hold it there
You can't . You can't.
Goose-bumps that don't fade away
They can't remain
Hold the perfect moment
Pin the cloud to the sky
Grab the spark and hold it
You can TRY..

I've looked into a million laughing unhappinesses
In every bar and on the TV
But I know the real thing
I can remember
I can almost tell you how it is

Trap the spark and hold it there
You can't. You can't
Goosebumps that don't fade away
They can't remain
Photograph a feeling
Pin the cloud to the sky
Trap the spark and hold it
You can try

Trap the spark and hold it there
Grab the spark and hold it there.

9. A State Of Mind

---

He looked down from the airplane
A crack in the clouds opened up he saw a garden of Eden
An island in the sea
Starin at the birth of creation
The earth and the people living, growing, naturally
A state of mind..

He came down from the sky
Into the noise of a million lives
A garden of Eden
Was it all a dream?
We came a long, long, way with each other
We’re goin nowhere til we see we’re only
Sisters and brothers

A state of mind
A state of mind is a contagious thing
Spread it around you never know what the future brings..

Ready to sow?
You ready to grow?
Reap what you sow.
You ready to know?

A state of mind is a contagious thing
Spread it around - you never know what the future brings..
A state of mind
A state of mind

10. Happiness Is The Road

---

The greatest blessing that we have
Is the dawn of each new day
A chance to finish what we started
And made a mess of yesterday
As day comes out of night
A chance to get it right
A chance to start again
A chance to get it right

The people here
Full of love and comfortable in themselves
Not scared to let go
No fear round here

I met this man
In Utrecht Netherlands
He was a doctor of the body and the soul
He said to me:
Man, there's a book you have to read.
I feel your pain. It makes me cry
But these tears are yours - not mine.

You're focussing on all of your bad yesterdays
The worry lines are getting deeper every day
And deep inside you
No surprise - there's a crisis!
You might have been to blame
But you can't go on this way
Must I watch and pray?

While you torture yourself with what's behind ya
Torture yourself with what awaits ya
Draggin' that guilt and regret inside ya
Anxious of the goals that always evade ya

Your mind will find a way to be unkind to you somehow
But all we really have is happening to us right now

HAPPINESS IS THE ROAD

And each baby..
A human sunrise
Each baby - a human sunrise..

Look around you
Feel your soul inside you
Look inside you
Feel the life course through you
The life that's giving In every thing that's living
The plants and the trees
The birds and the bees
And apes like you and me

HAPPINESS IS THE ROAD

You're a slave to your mind
But you are not your mind
You are not your pain
Say it again
You are not your pain
Say it again
You are not your pain

Happiness aint at the end of the road
Happiness aint at the end of the road
Happiness IS the road
The road

HAPPINESS IS THE ROAD
