DELUSION RAIN
Mysterious song Lyrics
Ancre 1
Delusion Rain
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
Everybody needs a little peace of mind
To slow the rain falling upon their lives
Everybody searches for some kind of light
To ease their way all through the nights
You look out by the window
Still the rain keeps falling down
You try to ease their sorrow
While slowly losing ground
I'm here now
You're here now
The least that we can do
Is stand for what we think is right
Who really needs politician lies?
Respectful kind of thieves dressed in suits and ties
They brag about the promised land
With back-stabbing knives in their hands
They eat right from your table
Expecting you to know the reasons why
To give to other people
And laugh watching your children cry
I'm here now
You're here now
The least that we can do
Is stand for what we think is right
You're here now
And we're here somehow
The best that we can do
Is fight for what we think is right
No matter what you say
Delusion Rain keeps falling down
No matter how much you pay
Delusion Rain keeps falling down
No matter what you say
Delusion Rain keeps falling down
No matter how hard you pray
Delusion Rain keeps falling down
You look up in the mirror
Only to see an ordinary man
Who fights his life with honour
For families and all our friends
I'm here now
You're here now
The least that we can do
Is stand for what we think is right
You're here now
And we're here somehow
The best that we can do
Is fight for what we think is right
I'm here now
You're here now
The least that we can do
Is stand for what we think is right
You're here now
And we're here somehow
The best that we can do
Is fight for what we think is right
No matter what you say
Delusion Rain keeps falling down
No matter how much you pay
Delusion Rain keeps falling down
Delusion Rain keeps falling down...

If You See Her
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
She stood there
Sitting all alone under the stairs
Laughter echoes from the corridors
Young people walking all around
Everywhere
If only one could've seen a little more
If you see her
Tell her about the love she ought to find
Now she's wandering on her own
Anywhere
Trying to find her way out of this maze
The scars that cut her to the bones
Will remain
Despite the smile shining from her eyes
If you see her
Tell her about the love she ought to find
And show her
The beauty of the world she leaves behind
She leaves behind
If you see her
Tell her about the love she ought to find
They stand there
Sitting all around on the stairs
Her tears will sing above their silence everywhere
The song she sang to mend all of your hearts
If you see her
Tell her about the love she ought to find
And show her
The beauty of the world she leaves behind
She leaves behind

The Last Glass of Wine
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
Tonight
Before the red moon lights the cosmic fire
Just lay down
Accept this glass of wine and close your eyes
Imaginary fields unfold
There's an old man turning cards
But he's no Joker
When he asks you to join his table
He looks at you right in the eyes
Like you're no strangers
He sure knows about all your fables
But keeps the mysteries untold
Mysteries untold
Through the Nile
Flows the wine
Giving life
Too late
To turn yourself around
And come back home
Now you cry out for more
Female shapes dancing
Like clouds of unknown matter
Reveal a passage to the old shrine
Emerging out of your heart's darkest corners
Teardrops will turn into a sea of wine
Imaginary fields
Unlock the mysteries
Until the memory reels unroll
Memories unroll
Through the Nile
Flows the wine
Giving life

The Willow Tree
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
Not too many gathered
On this rainy afternoon
Some cried this old gardener
They'll forget by the new moon
Hated by most
Those he loved were few
And what have you done with your life?
Asked the old man at the door
With who did you share all your love?
All your love
They walked into a hall
And stood in the centre
Mirror covered walls
Where his whole life was played through
I guess I have wasted my life
Realised the old gardener
I've never loved anyone in my life
In my life
He cried alone for days
They could feel the coldness from his heart
Chilling them away
So they took him back home
In a field enlightened by a sun
From a near future
And he stood still in the wind
Amazed by the beauty of a tree
Of a tree
Young lovers' first kiss immortalised
Thanks to you
And the birds have a home to sleep at night
Because of you
Children dancing around
And their laughter sings in Heaven
Thanks to you
Have you seen their eyes?
The joy on a summer day
Memories will never fade away
You have touched their lives
No one could ever say
But there lives the meaning
Of your passage yesterday
Have you seen their eyes?
Have you seen their eyes?
The joy on a summer day
Memories will never fade away
You have touched their lives
Touched in so many ways
For there lives the meaning
Of your passage yesterday
Have you seen their eyes?

Wall Street King
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
Another night has fallen
Over this city
A lonely child is dreaming
Beyond his time
Time...
His friends are out there playing
Just having fun
He spends his time planning
The quest has begun
So many men have died here
Along that road
What is this love they're searching?
Where is their hope?
And he knows his youth is slowly going
But it's ok cause the money starts coming in
Another soul is crying waiting alone
Wondering how high he's aiming
Will he come back home?
And he didn't see his children growing
But it's ok cause the money keeps coming in
Keeps coming in
He won the world working
He won it all
Walking in his palace laughing
Before the fall
And he knows his life is quickly going
But it's ok cause the money keeps coming in
Soon he'll die and lose everything
But it's ok cause the money
Will keep on rolling...

A Song for You
Words and Music by Michel St-Pere
The news I saw today brought tears in my eyes
This world's going crazy
Then my worries turn to dots on the lines
So simple and easy
I never seem to understand
The world spinning around my head
Fear those who claim
They know where the truth resides
For they'll never find
Follow the fools as they walk straight to the light
While others go blind
You've always seemed to understand
This crazy world inside my head
Carry the flame held up high
Leave all your fear far behind
Let your heart rule your mind
Allow your dreams to come alive
To feed the fire that burns within
Don't worry for the tears in my eyes
All will be fine
Just let the music flow through your mind
And all will be fine
All these words I sing
I sing them for you
Straight from the heart
And all these notes I play
I play them for you
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart
And this voice you hear
I give it to you
Straight from my heart
When I wrote this song
I thought about you
With all of my heart
All of my heart
