Track Name: vespers
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"Vespers" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-68
wk0669 - copyright wolf kier 2012

A woman finds her tenderness
was caught up in a scheme
and you know devils come for nothing less
than to, than to, flatter and deceive
to flatter and deceive

Three children come from broken homes
they spend twilight hours all alone
And Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me

Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me
Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me

A maiden on a bloodless night
is left to ponder poetry
as her father starts a pointless fight
and blood whets the tiles of sanity
blood whets the tiles of sanity

Three bells ring in the village square
they call you to Evensong
Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me

Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me
Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me

(musical interlude)

Come on children sing with me
Vespers will cure your misery

Now word on the street
Is that the cops skipped a beat
and they let the thin blue line bleed
the milk of human,
the milk of human savagery

Now vespers is all that will cure the misery

Come on children....

Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me
Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me
Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me
Vespers soothe the misery
Come God's children sing with me

Track Name: amelia, can you hear me now?
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"Amelia, Can You Hear Me Now?" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0680 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Amelia!

I heard a voice
on the station platform
familiar voice
I'd heard so many
times before

I turned around to find the source
those pretty lips
that I'd listened to with love in my eyes
so many times before

Amelia, can you hear me now?

Of course I don't believe in ghosts
and I hardly believe my ears
when I
hear Amelia speak
because hope is eternal
She'll come back to me
She'll come back to me

I turned around
to see the source
those pretty lips
that I'd heard speak
so many times before

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Amelia, can you hear me now?

Every day I see the train
I even stand there in the rain
and watch it
But there will never come a day
when Amelia will come back to me
There will never be....

Can you hear me now?
Amelia?
Can you hear me now?
Amelia?
That I've heard speak
so many times before
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?

Track Name: not this time, not yet
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"Not This Time, Not Yet" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0679 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Did I sent you vague transmissions this time?
Did you find meaning in my sound
I did not mean to sway your heart this time
I did not mean to turn your head around

Not this time
It's not time
Not yet
Not this time

I got more to lose than you this time
I got people who trust in me back home
I did not mean to risk disaster this time
But I had to know if your heart could still be mine

Not this time
It's not time
Not yet
Not this time

Only one heart is eternal
Only one heart holds the key
I know your heart is the heart for me

Casinos have their roulette wheels of fortune
My fortunes have revolved around your whims
If I sent you a false transmission this time
I did not mean to sway your heart
I did not mean to turn your head around

Not this time
It's not time
Not yet

Not this time
It's not time
Not yet

Not this time
Not this time

Not this time
It's not time
Not yet
Not this time

Not yet.
Track Name: fresh linens
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"Fresh Linens" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0675 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Yeah, Kitty knows the feeling
as he scratches at the mattress
and a parachute of freshness
falls down and around his head

Fresh linens
on your bed
and you're ready to start again
Fresh linens
Clear your mind
Steel your heart and
start again

Baby smiles back at ya
Back at ya from the crib
Baby doesn't say much
but you think he's thinking
good luck mama


Fresh linens
Fresh linens on your bed
Good luck mama
find yourself a good man
you're ready to start again
Fresh linens (good luck mama)
Clear your mind
Steel your heart and
start again

Fresh linens on your bed
mean that you can start again

Scars they heal and bruises mend
and when you lay your head down
on this fresh made bed
Forget the pain
forget the tears
a thousand tomorrows
starts right here
this is your field of dreams

Fresh linens on your bed
Crisp and clean but not new by any means
Took some time for you to decide
For you to decide to start again

Fresh linens
on your bed (start again)
you're ready to start again
Fresh linens
Clear your mind
Steel your heart
and start again

Fresh linens
on your bed
you're ready to start again
Fresh linens (on your bed)
Clear your mind
Steel your heart
and start again

Track Name: life of love
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"Life of Love" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0681 - copyright wolf kier 2012

She nailed her wedding ring
to my front door
with a butcher's knife
and a note that read
"I don't want him no more
I want something more
Could you be the thing that's missing
In my life of love?"

In my life of
In my life of
In my life of
love

Pretty things these fairy tales
they'll lead you on a merry dance
across the sky to rainbow jail
where destiny is pitted against
Something more
random chance
Could you be the thing that's missing
In my life
in my life of
Love?

So she moved in with her dog and cat
and a parakeet called Unstable
and began to make inquiries
about my intentions with her heart
So I put my finger to her temple
and I said without regret
"I'm a man but I'm not the man
who comes after the man
who tore your world apart"

In my life
in my life of
Love

Saw you coming
a mile away
that ricochet
could be heard
across the land.

So she left me for a nunnery
and pondered her misgivings
about the role of other people
in the romantic scheme of things
She returned one day to see me
and asked if we'd be friends
and I fell down to my knees
because I knew that's where the
story ends


In my life
in my life of
Love

Pretty things these fairy tales
they'll lead you on a merry dance
across the sky to rainbow jail
where destiny is pitted against
(I need) something more
(random chance)
Could you be the thing
that's missing in
my life
in my life of
Love?

I need some Pretty things these fairy tales
they'll lead you on a merry dance
across the sky to rainbow jail
where destiny is pitted against
Something more
random chance
Could you be the thing
that's missing in
my life
in my life of
Love?
Track Name: can you care much faster?
`++++ LYRICS +++++++

"Can You Care Much Faster?" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0682 - copyright wolf kier 2012

Could this x-ray be the one
that reveals the antidote to me
Am I the only son of a gun
Who falls in love with all I see?

Now there's the cause
Now there's the cure
Let's take a chance
Can you bring love back to me?

Can you care much faster, baby?
Can you bring your love to me
Can you care much faster, baby?
Time is running out for me.

Now the Measles and the Chicken Pox and a bad flu
and I keep cutting myself
so that I can get back into that ER room
and see your pretty face...
and start that conversation again.

Now I've found the cause
Now there's the cure
Let's take a chance
Can you bring love back to me?

Can you care much faster, baby?
Can you bring your love to me
Can you care much faster, baby?
Time is running out for me.

I'm in need of some intensive care
I'm in need of a nurse like you who cares
I'm in need of some bandaging
I'm in need of the kind of first aid,. baby,
That only you can bring

That only you can bring
Now heal me, baby!

(solo)

So the medical bills are piling up high
and I'm sick of pretending that I'm gonna die
just so I can see you eye to eye
come on, speed your love to me.

Can You care much faster? Now here's the cause
Can You care much faster? Now there's the cure
Can You care much faster? Let's take a chance
Can You care much faster? Can you bring love back to me?

Can you care much faster, baby?
Can you bring your love to me
Can you care much faster, baby?
Time is running out for me.

Can you care much faster, baby? (Seeing you is killing me)
(Now there's the cause)
Can you bring your love to me (Every day an Emergency)
(Now there's the cure)
Can you care much faster, baby? (can't you see...)
Time is running out for me.

Track Name: postcards to loved ones
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"Postcards to Loved Ones" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0683 - copyright wolf kier 2012

A ship of fools sailed out one day
with a chimpanzee for a guide
The crew consisted of you and I
and an unexpected child
Turbulence, a drenching storm
and a sea of caring souls
kept watch for errant flares
and made sure we had it all

And we keep sending
postcards to loved ones
Missiles that say
we're doing fine
But if they read
the fine print
in the nice script
they see through
our lies

I play my trade in magic
on the sidewalk
near the boardwalk
and you teach
young Sunday schoolers
where to hide.
In the evening we walk by the sea
and look back towards home
and as rain falls
on you and me
the yellow raincoats
can not keep us
from our storm

From our storm.

And we keep sending
postcards to loved ones
Missals that say
we're doing fine
But if they read the fine print
in the nice script
they see right through
our lies

In happy homes
the cracks they beg
forgiveness
on distant shores
the ripples turn to waves
on most days
excuses are abstractions
we're stinking rich
on the love that we save

The love love that we save

A ship of fools sailed out one day
with a chimpanzee for a guide
The crew consisted of you and I
and an unexpected child
The journey spanned
just on 30 years
the sea is filled with ghosts
the shadows can be seen
in all the postcards we sent home
(all the postcards to loved ones)
in the postcards to loved ones
as we served our sentence whole
as we
strive to keep this
burning boat afloat

(and we keep sending postcards to loved ones)

Until this boat it sailed
it sailed no more

They see right through our lies.

(and we keep sending postcards to loved ones)
Track Name: left behind
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"Left Behind" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0687 - copyright Wolf Kier 2012

She told all of her best friends
of the fears she had in mind
but they paid no heed to the warnings.
No, they never even tried

She was lightning on a problem
but this one robbed her blind.
She knew she'd run too soon
and left too much behind

Behind behind

She wore trouble like a wristwatch
it reminded her of the time
that had passed since she'd
made up her mind

If a comet fell from space
and set the world on fire
she'd think it was a sign
that she'd left too much behind

Behind, behind

Did she see him
from the sidewalk
in a taxi cab?
Those eyes
she'd made cry
a thousand times

Behind

She'd left so much behind
All the world was blind
to what she felt inside

She was not immune to irony
she understood the bet
he begged her not to leave
he feared she would forget

But the life that she had chosen
had it's blessings heaven sent
and a tear was all she had
to hide her sweet regret

Behind, behind
Behind, behind

She'd left too much behind
All the world was blind
to what she felt inside

Behind, behind

She wore her trouble like a wristwatch
it reminded her of the time
and all she'd left behind.

Track Name: the pathway to your heart
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"The Pathway to Your Heart" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk-67
wk0689 - copyright Wolf Kier 2012

Pathway to your heart, to find the pathway
Pathway to your heart, to find the pathway

There's a dog sat on the corner
to ward off passers by
but this boy a little stupid
so he's still gonna try
to find the pathway to your heart

Your gate is spiked with poison ivy
and I can't see in the dark
The garden's full of landmines
and your Daddy keeps a gun
to guard the pathway to your heart

Mountain lions and piranha fish
and bugs the size of dinosaurs
they don't mean a thing
because when my mind is made up
and my heart is smitten
I'll machete through the jungle
to find the pathway to your heart

To find the pathway
The pathway to your heart
To find the pathway
The pathway to your heart
To find the pathway
The pathway to your heart

(solo)

The complications of adventure
sweet inspiration at the wheel
if the devil has your key
Then I'll stop and make a deal
but the prize it may escape me
and the obstacles are fierce
the fear of failure overtakes me
will I ever find the way to

The pathway to your heart
to find the pathway
The pathway to your heart
to find the pathway
The pathway to your heart
to find the pathway
The pathway to your heart

to find the pathway to your heart
Track Name: itinerant souls
`++++ LYRICS +++++++
"Itinerant Souls" by Wolf Kier
from the album wolf kier: vespers wk67
wk0695 - copyright Wolf Kier 2012


Likes stars up on a wire
Airplanes are not free
They deliver me to my destiny
But steal my love from me

Itinerant Souls
Shuttled through space
the odyssey calls.

Taxi Cabs like bumper cars
Waiting for their rides
to take them to their assignations
the itinerant souls on this flight

Right up close and personal
People aren't the same
their pains are all secured
with their passports tucked away.

Itinerant Souls
Shuttled through time
the odyssey continues....

(solo)

And there never was a migrant
who didn't believe
they were heaven bound
and there never was a dreamer
who wasn't tempted
by a scheme to reach
to reach their dream
ahead of time

All my favorite airports
Have "welcome" on their gates
but they only host you briefly
They speed your soul away
and the airplanes cross the skies
like stars up on a wire
Godspeeding you away
like sparks from my fire

Itinerant Souls
Shuttled through time
the odyssey continues
Through space
Through space and time.... .
