Journey to the Present
We will drive in no direction
But away from what we know
We will lay, facing the stars
Our backs against the dew wet grass
Our thoughts far from yesterday
Our lips touching the universe of now
And our bodies aching to be
In this present

Rescued
Let there be a voice of reason
When the darkness comes, like treason
Let the guard go home to sleep
Our broken pieces safe we'll keep
Here's a love that won't be leaving
Even when it seems deceiving
Passing shadows cannot take
Those moments shared
Our bond won't break
When the storm has passed us over
We will see the springtime bloom
Sunlight soft and warm will find us
Love, just ours, pain won't consume
Trust now, dear, I know we're falling
Love, our wounded heart is calling
Two will find our secret shore
By the lakeside, evermore

The Man Who Makes Me Lose My Mind
Of handsome, there's plenty
And I really don't care
But your kind of handsome
Makes me stop and stare
Is it your cool nonchalance?
Or the sound of your voice?
You're the man who makes me lose my mind
You seem to know all the right words to say
Yet you keep your distance in this game that we play
You're defying my logic
Passion's blinding my heart
You're the man who makes me lose my mind
I've had a few lovers
I won't tell a lie
And some have since faded from view
Certain few come to mind
In the deep of the night
Now a name on that list will be you
What is is about this reason-less love
That burns and consumes me like fire?
Do you even know what you've got over me
The man who makes me lose my mind

Hot Lemon and Honey Kind of Gal
Oh, when I'm out on the town
On my lonesome at the bar
Sometimes a gent will send a drink my way
It might be on the rocks
Or have sugar on the rim
An umbrella, or a cherry
Whatever pleases him
It's funny how they think they know what my desire might be
Choosin' without givin' me a say
If they took a sec to ask me
Came on over, said "hey, hi"
Would it be so very tricky?
C'mon now, don't be shy
'Cause I'm a hot lemon and honey kind of gal
A tea and you and me sorta lady
A waltz in the park
Maybe a tango in the dark
A lotta sweet, a little tart
Not the sort to break your heart
A warm cocoa with sprinkles kind of girl
A curl up, cosy, by the fire darlin'
So if you'll chat to me
You'll find I'm quite at ease
And, baby, if you please, just ask
Then paint the town we shall
I'll be your hot lemon and honey kind of gal

Limelight
Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage
Cast in this unlikely role, ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in a fish eye lens, caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend
All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each anothers audience outside the gilded cage
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
Living in the limelight, the universal dream
For those who wish to seem
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation
Get on with the fascination
The real relation, the underlying theme
The real relation, the underlying theme
Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson

I Don't Need to Tell You Everything
The things you don't know about me
Could set a river flowin'
It's a river red
The waves gone black
Oh you don't know you never ask
And that's ok, mmmm
That's ok
I don't need to tell you everything
Sun slips away
I'm gonna be there
No one knows but me
Turn on the red light
Shade is lacy black
Oh you don't know you never ask
But that's ok oooooo
That's ok
I don't need to tell you everything
But I'm always comin' back to you
You're gonna feel ev'ry inch of where I've been
Love's imitation
Soul vibration
S'gonna fall on you
You're gonna feel my love so true
Well the blues is gonna save us
The blues is gonna save us
The blues is gonna save us
But I don't need to tell you everything
No, I don't need to tell you
Anything

Left
Left is the hand that's gone
The one un-preferred
Taking the unpopular side
Left
Left is coasting down
Burnin' and shakin'
Taking the road more travelled
Left
It's the place for you
The race for you
On the heart side
By the hearth side
It remains for you
Stays for you
Inside the heart hide
From the hard ride
Left is cold and grey
But we get through them
Taking the time to complain
Left
Left is unattended
But not entirely lost
Taking the break in the action
Left

Don't Sleep

Don't Sleep
Don't sleep when the voices are calling
Listen, don't fight the falling
Awake, to the truth that is waiting
The truth that is beautifully you
Silver and gold are the night lines
Hold on, here's where the light shines
In darkness, no need to fear it
The truth that is beautifully you
The years may have passed but you're here now
Up to the task all alone now
Love is so close, let it go now
It will stay somehow
Whisper your name to your heart, dear
Breathe slow
For time is a thief here
Oh take, this truth is for giving
The truth that is beautifully you
The truth that is beautifully you
