1978 - San Diego:
I'd just come out the other side of a relationship that blew up
I was angry, and disillusioned, and ultimately self-destructive.
I'd lost everything I believed in
I was as utterly, completely alone as I've ever been.
So I began going on walks.
I started taking late-night walks around the San Diego suburb I was living in at the time.
I'd start walking early evening, and come back close to midnight, sometimes later
Walking and thinking and chewing over what had gone wrong with my life.
One night, at Fourth and E Streets, I got mugged and beaten by a street gang
Sent me to the hospital with serious intimations of mortality.
When the ER techs asked what my religion was, I refused to answer.
I made my private peace with the universe,
Content with whatever was going to happen, live or die.
Then something happened.
I got angry.
I got angry because I still had stories to tell.
So I fought back.
It took two months to fully recover.
But two things came out of that incident.
First: I have no fear of death. None whatsoever.
Second: As soon as I was well enough, I started walking again.
Sometimes until 3 or 4 in the morning,
Through parts of town that made even street people nervous.
When people asked what I was doing out there that late at night,
the only answer I could give was, "I'm looking for something."
So I kept walking through some of the most dangerous parts of San Diego,
before it got cleaned up,
When it was still home to hookers and drunks and gangs
Finally, one afternoon, I came to the same areas I walked through at night
And I was struck by the dichotomy between that corner at night,
And the very same corner during the day.
In the daylight, there were businessmen and kids and clerks,
Eager to get home to dinner and TV and family.
Then, later, came the night shift - the lost people
emerging from shadows and beds of pain to walk the same streets
In search of fixes, money, and bars,
Gradually fading away with the dawn.
Two totally different worlds,
Sharing nothing but longitude and latitude.
There was the nation in the day, and the nation at night,
Existing side by side but each fleeing the other;
A daylight nation and a midnight nation.
I saw a country bifurcated by more than just the presence and absence of light,
But by lives cast aside and lost and uncared for;
The walked away and the thrown-away on one side, and on the other,
Those who pretended not to see them, because not seeing is easier.
And I saw someone forced to walk both sides of the metaphor,
To learn that the greatest cruelty is our casual blindness to the despair of others,
That there but for the grace of whatever god you subscribe to goes any of us.
And finally, I realized that I had found what I was looking for,
Without ever being quite sure what it was.
I found a story that would make my own life make sense again.
This story.
I still take long walks
And I still stop and talk to the people who stand at the corner
And wait for something to happen to them,
Who wait for money to fall into a hat or a cup,
Who wait for someone to recognize their pain.
Because the line between the midnight nation
And the place where I sit right now,
Writing these words, is thin and ephemeral and can be crossed in an instant.
Because the road to the midnight nation can be erased only through compassion.
I found my story, this story, on a hazy afternoon in 1978.
Now it's yours.
The keys to the midnight nation are in your hands.

"give me one reason to trust you" she said, and i replied
"i can not for i have none" and she cried.
"then give me your trust so that mine can return" she
said, and i replied
"i can not for i have none" and i would have cried, but
my eyes has dried.
"then share with me a starving need to hold on" she said,
and i replied
"i can not for i have none"
"what then? where do we place ourselves?"
"on the funeral pyre to burn." and burn.

secrets out unfold
whisper words be warned
falling into one
it's you I still believe
felt so alive
wish I could hold
it's already fullso phase me out of your life
it's all
it's all ready full
treat the son our own
haven't seen him grow
held the hand we lost
it's you I can't recall
felt so alive wish I could hold
it's already full
so phase me out of you life
it's all
it's all ready full
secrets out unfold
whisper words be warned
falling into one
it's you I still believe
you still believe
all that we couldn't see
and it seemed so wrong
but I wish I could never will
it's already full
it's already full
it's all
it's all
it's all ready... full
it's all ready full
it's all can't force from me

Such confusion can't be good
And though my house is made of wood
I can throw stones if I please
Can set fire my gathered leaves
Where’d you go, I wouldn't say
Always been a mile away
A high-speed chase on your wedding day
Give and take are all the same
Cannon shoot on grassy moor
A battlefield of love and war
Empty bottle on your bed
Broken-hearted, innocent
Where you've been I wouldn't go
Just another story told
A high-speed chase on your wedding day
Give and take are all the same
Cannon shoot on grassy moor
A battlefield of love and war
It’s your high-speed chase on your wedding day
Give and take are all the same
Cannon shoot on grassy moor

If I could only say, what you had in mind
If I could only run, towards your words
If I could only change, the things that stop me moving
I would follow (in your footsteps)
All this time I'm running on
All this time I'm running...
There's just no way to decide
(this time I'm running on)
There's not a lot of choice here
You're the only thing keeping me alive
(this time I'm running on)

He loves you he said when he was last around
Something about the nails in his hands
Said that's all I need to keep cold and warm
I'd like to believe all is good and well
Something about the nails in his hands
Said that's all I need to keep cold and warm
It's over now, hold yourself down
He saved your life, you've got to believe
It's over now, It's over
When you hold to my life
I pick up the pieces
When you move in my time
I will bring you releases
You said it's all I need, to keep cold and warm
You said it's all I've shown you

Going through the motions,
Trying to come to senses,
Trying to work it out
Fallings' so predictable,
But it's so unpredictable
Don't want to miss you now, don't want to settle down
Sit in the quiet world, I will know
The peace that passes all understanding
And when I saw your son, don't want to settle down
Too late to run, you've found your life
In him, in the lord, you say, to run

You're the centre of me
You are the way it all works out
And I keep going on, before you finally found me/(realign me)
You're the timing of me
You are the one when I'm in doubt
That everything will work out for the best 'cause you see
Are we, staying close enough
Found me, (you) found me at the start
Time we, time we moved along
I wanted to find what you're waiting for
When everything I know still is yours

When I, am trying to explain
(You) lose your self control
forgetting
Aligned, forget the reasons why
(so we) choose our own way home
Again
When I, am trying to explain/decide
Trying again
all over again
You try to explain
You forget the reasons why
When you lose your self control
Find yourself besides
again...
The peace, it fits within your soul
You found your way
everyone's listening
Relax!, you're waiting for the end
hanging again
AND THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
You're weighed down by
Everyone knows why
When grace finds/found you there

In my soul there's silence
And i just can't keep going on like this
And if i go it's violence
It's gone beyond us holding on to this
And in this soul-less science
The lines I've drawn still leave this emptiness
And the distance floods in
Its gone beyond us all controlling this
After all these things, when I'm going to decide
It's an open space and I'm learning to align
And after everything, when I've pushed it all aside
I'll be going back to the things I know inside
All this time I've been trapped inside
I think it's gone too far, I know it's gone too far
(Its) stronger now, your grace has covered well
And I'm moving more like . .
After everything, when I know I must decide
It's an open space and I'm learning to align
To face this, to face my
I think I've gone too far, I know I've gone too far
To change this, to change my line
This time I know, I'll be facing my
To be on my own, to be left inside

Following too close for me
The moments gone, into rewind again
I can't go back and change what's stained now
I think I've seen this all before
I've got a spine built from memories (time to move on)
And I wouldn't change a single thing
When you feel like time has gone to waste
You're still moving on
Hindsight takes control
When the moments gone
Following too close for me
I'm still inspired by all you've done again
I've got a spine built from memories (time to move on)
And I wouldn't change a single thing
I won't go
Following too close for me

Even after all this time
When the faces blend and/to look like mine
I can't believe we've come this far alone
(I'm) talking to myself again
Cos I'm the only one I can't offend
I still believe its time to go alone
It's the cost of everyone
To believe in someone
It's the cost of everyone
alone
Even after all this time
When the faces (blend and) look like mine

Following too close for me
The moments gone, into rewind again
I can't go back and change whats stained now
I think I've seen this all before
I've got a spine built from memories (time to move on)
and I wouldn't change a single thing
When you feel like time has gone to waste
You're still moving on
Hindsight takes control
When the moments gone
Following too close for me
I'm still inspired by all you've done again
I've got a spine built from memories (time to move on)
and I wouldn't change a single thing
I won't go
Following too close for me
The moments gone, into in rewind again

When your time is running out
And you feel like taking sides
And the walls are getting thin
You better get over it
How long will I walk to the place I belong
When there's fighting between
How long
When your times running out and you feel like taking sides
How long
All the fighting between
To the place I went wrong
All the time
The time has come to walk again
These painted eyes can't see the end

So I finally found the way
To lessen all your pain
What you'd give to feel again
For even just a day
And as you search to find the words
Of someone to relate
You realize all your faults,
Were never their mistakes
And everything starts to
Fall apart
Covered in ink to, hide these scars
And everything ends the way it starts
I just want to feel like, I belong
Could this be the one last time
That brings 'em back the change?
The moments in your life
When you know it has to change
Another waste of time, another dream in flames
And once you feel the fire,
You'll never be the same
And everything starts to
Fall apart
Covered in ink to, hide these scars
And everything ends the way it starts
I just want to feel like, I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong
Oooo, All my life, I've done nothing but hide
From myself (over and over, and over and over)
Oooo, and all my life, I've done nothing but hide
From myself (over and over, and over and over)
Oooo, and All my life, I've done nothing but lie
To myself (over and over, and over and over again)
And everything starts to
Fall apart
Covered in ink to, hide these scars
And everything ends the way it starts
I just want to feel like, I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong

You've come a long way now
You lived your life in conversation
The rumour in your mind has sold
and I just want you carry on
You've come a long way now
We've all lived life in conversation
The gift of olderness has shown
and you're on time
All the lines in the sand, lead me back again
its clearer now from where I am, and the colours are shifting
The depth of you like an open hand, I know you're with me
'cos you're making me breathe
(You're) All that I live for, you and I are carrying the load
Down on my knees, all that I hope for, you and I alone
All of the things they said wouldn't last
All of the time keeps slipping to the past
