Visions of China
Album: Tin Drum

Rock
Lyrics by David Sylvian and Steven Jansen
I’m walking young and strong
But just a little too thin
I may be happy,
But I don’t have a clue to this life
In my mind
Stay with me
We could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked-out
In visions of China tonight
I’m building heroes again
I never thought of before
I remember the fashion
But don’t have a clue
To this life
In my mind
Stay with me
We could learn to fight
Like every good boy should
Cling to me
We are blacked-out
In visions of China tonight
We walk backwards, say nothing
My visions of China
We’re young and strong in this party
We’re building/ living our visions of China

Breathless
Form: Free Verse
Theme: Love
She is my angel from heaven
and my demon from the depths of hell
rolled into breathless completeness
and when she is done
finished with me
I can only wait until my legs
find the power to stand again

Eternal Bough
Form: Italian Sonnet
My love with softened voice so sweetly sings,
where flowers delicately bow and weep,
upon a floating cloud in beauty sleep,
without a care for life's temporal things.
Inspiring whispers trail supernal wings,
across the barren white thoughts gently creep,
to passions only love's dear heart can keep,
to bind two lives with golden wedding rings.
No joy compares to solemn marriage vow,
amity's torch will burn with growing flame,
along conjugal paths of lover's bliss,
that bring a promise of eternal bough,
betrothal seen delight in love proclaim,
and go to times when hearts will reminisce

Returned to Stone
Form: Saraband Sonnet
Their eyes cannot see me walk by
I dare not look beyond their gaze
Too scared to show the tears I cry.
I hear their laughter and see them smile
Confounded by my own denial
The truth of pain is purely mine
When asked if all is well: 'I'm fine'.
My happiness left me alone
To face the future in a haze
And thus my heart returned to stone.
My thoughts are lost in that black hole
Where tender kisses can't console
As beauty I will never see
Since she said she didn't love me
