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

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 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

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

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

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... 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
