When Time Decides
03:23
|
|||
I know it is impossible to give to the world
When the past becomes impassable,
and mountains, insurmountable at times
But with a right mind
It all fades when time decides
I want to be your magic girl, 'cos you are the light
I've waited for one hundred days,
Waiting for the nights to fade away,
I pray that everything is coming
But it will when time decides
I won't wait upon the world in hope for anything to happen
'Cos death is always in the window
To bring return, And in return, and in return, he never waits.
i pray -
you'll see i am love
beyond my words and eyes
i wait for the sun
for i wait when time decides

The End of an Error
05:48
|
|||
It's the end of an era, an error that caused me pain
Now it's over - again
It's the end of the summer, and i'm feeling the rain on my shoulder
But it feels like i'm in love again
This high, please stay a while
Echo my dreams - sweet rapture
Float in any stream
Happy to be here and not there
It has come to pass, for the past will walk with me no more
It’s the end of an error
A terror, that caused refrain
From the moment
It’s the end of the summer
And I’m feeling such change on my shoulder
For it feels like I’m myself again
This smile, please stay a while
Echo my being out there
So fine, this feeling feels
Happy to be here and not scared
It will come to pass
For all things have their time in the sun

You Were Right
02:42
|
|||
You decide
You decide is this what you want
And is it right?
And i will, be glad,
As long as you want me
I won’t, decide, this time
You’re desired
You’re admired and I want to hold you,
In my arms
And i will be here, as long as you need me
i won't disappear, no i won't.
I see your beauty inside out
You hold the light without a doubt
It's true.
I never want to see you frown
And hide away those eyes of brown
Oh, it's you.
You were right
You were right, for it was foretold you
In the stars
This treasure is ours, to share and be the dance that's in our hearts
Our hearts

My Sun
04:35
|
|||
Every time you come over here
You sure brighten up my hemisphere
You are light stretching over me
You are bright you are energy
And I need you.
When the moon gets between us
The sadness just leaves me colder
I still need you but i know -
You'll destroy me when we're much older
My big and red balloon
Don't burn me and burn my moon.
My life revolves around you it's true,
But you are more remote from me than the moon.
My sun, my sun
But for now, my sun
I'm happy just to share this space with you.

Joseph studied birds since he was 3
I think he called it Ornithology
Kestrels, Falcons, Herons, Hawks and Wrens
He made big nests for friends instead of dens
And his Dad made him some wings, that the other parents thought absurd
Joseph, the boy who studied Birds.
Joseph never liked to go to school
He thought they taught him nothing about birds
The kids told Joseph, 'liking Birds is sad'
He kept a book of who was good and bad,
But they threw stones at him,
At least it hurt much less than words
Joseph, the boy who studied Birds.
And Joseph asked his Dad, "why is my passion so sad"
He said, "son, ignore what they say, strap on your wings and go and play..
...someday, you'll really fly away"
Away...away...away...away

The Path Within
04:23
|
|||
Look to the sky and let all your aims be high
Lift the veil of illusion from your face
Send your thoughts up to live with the stars in the sky
When you're lost in the dark, let them show you the way.
Turn the light on inside
Blow the dust from your eyes
Live your days as years with spring as the dawn
Explore all the fields within your head.
At tea time harvest the thoughts sown back in the 'morn.
Keep them warm in the winter and take them to bed.
Turn the light on inside
Blow the dust from your eyes
Does gravity keep you from moving on
To the stars above you, where you belong?
Where you belong.

I looked in a river and i had a vision
I saw all my lives before and in the last...
I lived on pale and blue high mountains
In a hut with birds and spiders
I looked happy still and silent,
Like a mountain, like a buddah
And with springtime in my heart
I lived on pale and blue high mountains
In a hut with birds and spiders
I'm just a man under the sun
That ripens fruit and lights the earth

I'm In The Way
02:20
|
|||
Writing this song into the night
Please come home and make it right
You could be happy
But don't know how to love and let it show
I'm in the way
And too sad to forget about the way you looked at my heart
The way you tore it apart, oh no. No.

It shouldn't hurt to begin in love,
You need not understand what it means
We only learn as we walk along
The meaning follows the end of the dream
Now were both laughing but tears are in our eyes
We should be smiling, these years have come alive
Let us begin our play
Without the lines we learn - To define love
I love you every day
And nothing, there will change for me
It shouldn’t hurt to begin in love,
Our fiery hearts will not scorch the seed
It only hurts if you weigh it down
With hopes, the past, a want or a need
Now we're both parting, and love is still alive
It’s so exciting, our fear has gone to die
Happiness knows the way to the world through you
I recognise you in all the skies
I love all i see in you

Where We Once Begun
04:32
|
|||
You've opened up my eyes
Your body is a guide
Have I loved you before today?
We can always know
Know a word that longs to be sung
We can always return
To the shore where we once begun
You guessed right from the start
The content of my heart
And gave it a name of your own
We can always know
Know a love that gives like the sun
We can always return
To the shore where we once begun
---------
People and their shadows
Moving two by two
Who am I? And who are you?
As we press our bodies firmly into one
-------
Desire will move my feet
I want to feel your heat
And kiss between your thighs
Is the answer there
In the space between, me and you?
Breathing out and in. Where do I begin?
I come to you
---------
People and their shadows
Moving two by two
Who am I? And Who are You?
As we press our bodies firmly into one

Joseph Has Flown Away
04:07
|
|||
Joseph has flown away...
To London with his guitar and wings
And a book of songs to sing
With his hair grown long and burgeoning beard
He calls himself Billy Weird
He's the darling of the left-wing press
In his wings and kaftan dress
Sitting cross-legged on the stage it seems
His youth was a dream from which he awoke, someday
Joseph has flown away
