Dawn Chorus
03:36
|
|||
|
What would it take to get all you wanted
Trouble and strife and all things nice
I have been searching for times past and present
What I have found is time ever passing
How many signs to guide your last step
Cast a stone turn a card run on ahead
I feel destiny ever close watching
Coming out of the dark time ever passing
Standing by you, I feel your searching
Where does it go? Listen to your soul
How would you move when trapped in your tower
Beat the walls down, shatter foundations
I have been rescued by countless decisions
This is right that is wrong, time ever passing
How many quails to fill up your belly
One or two miss a few, fast then your ready
I have been pleasured by dreams of the future
Satisfied hunger, eternal time passing
Soaring and flying
Lifted by something
Living and dying
Eternal light in you
Standing by you, I feel your searching
Where does it go? Listen to your soul
As it speaks it unfolds
Your heart
As it beats it starts
Trembling and rising, dawn chorus is singing
Who is it for? Listen to your soul

Sing to me
Sing with me
Now do you see
I’ve been hiding all this time
Fly for me
Fly with me
Now do you see
I’ve been hiding all this time
I want to be free
I want to see
I want to touch
I want it so much
Leave me with a clue
So I know what to do
So I can see
I’ve been hiding all this time
Talk to me again
Be my fiend
So I can see
I’ve been hiding all this time
No one had a clue
Just you and one or two
I know you see
I’ve been hiding all this time
One day they’ll know
Just one day all the little fuckers will finally know
I know you see
I’ve been hiding all this time

Laia's Song
04:01
|

|
Some times in life, people become turning points
And somehow, the effect of people shines like the sun
And as a child, we are infinite
Left alone we grow and worlds unfold
Turning points and roundabouts, show us our natural flow
And some things are definite, yet secret and unknown
For you are truly beautiful
Infinite and definite my love
For you are only beautiful
Your face the one from which comes love
And given the time, friends become family
And the gifts that you have are shared to all
And when the dawn comes
Birds sing their songs of truth
Hold it in your head
And everyone will hear…
Where we all came from
What we all want to do
How we all feel
Why? We all know!
Sometimes in life, people become turning points
And somehow the effect of people shines through

Can you feel the light a creeping in
Shatters old past the night is in
You think of yesterdays and hope for the spring
For it will come like the sun and warm the withered leaves
Can you hear the lowing cattle sing
See the mist ascend as warmth came settling in
We hope for clarity and signs along our way
But the road we walk upon gets carved out day by day
Heed and breathe
Tone unknown
Yield to feelings
To open up your eyes
The binding thread of yesterday is fraying at the seems
While dreams and schemes half considered float down stream
The silkie in the sea that came to see us play
Took many things but left the lives of what we want today
Can I ask you now cause I couldn’t then
How you feel when you look at me
Can you tell me how as we’re weaving through
The answers too how your feeling
Water crashing through my scull and through my bones
Caress my body and hold me in your arms
Take me to ecstasy shock me through my spine
Hold me epiphany open up your mind

Life in a Box

My Friend, life friend
What are you doing? What are you seeing?
Life friend, life’s bent
You know I miss you, when will I see you?
How the city runs
It’s running from you to me
For everyone to see the rising sun
This life in a box
Through the city on a train
You know he ran for this life
He didn’t even know their name
Run it down…….Run it down…..
Time flies, fly by
Life touches soul, soul touches home
Fly by, might die
I hope it reaches you, you know I’ll never know
You know how life is strange
Temptation is running from me
Right action speaks so clear
But I’m finding it hard to hear
You know we shared so much
Life heals and cuts
You know we shed so much
Out of ruts n stuff
Run it down…….Common ground
Common ground……Run it down

Cracks o' Mud
04:32

Open the door and walk on through
Feel the hunger feel the new
Open your eyes and step within
See the future buried
Hear the calling open up
Drink the water from the cup
Cut your finger, swear to the truth
Taste the apple, sweet
Give into your freedom
Give into your freedom
Open up to what’s within
Open up to what’s within
Fly for me
Sing with me
Are you with me
Come with me
Lust and anger pain and hate
Fear of loving relate
Bricks of ice cut so deep
Bed of earth buried
Birds are calling Birds are singing
Birds are flying Wind on their wings
Hear listen
Hear sweet
Cracks of mud and dried up earth
Rocks of gold feel their worth
Wading through this river
Waiting to get nearer
Washing dirt off clearer
And just wanting to get… just wanting to get

Jamie's Song

Try not to worry love, it’s only time passing by
Try not to hurry love, there’s much more love left inside
You can’t give out too much there’s just enough in the world
Save some for you love, there’s a world out there for you to find
As you fall from your stance
You take a second glance
At what you’ve been leading
But the path that you’re on
You know you must stay strong
I’ll help you when you’re needing
As devils leap from rock to rock, let them leave your mind
The sea will crash against the rock, a kiss that’s held in time
You know you know what you want, you see it around the bend
These obstacles that you face, will fall away at the end
As you fall…
I’m thinking of you now
And missing you now
And holding you now
In my heart
I’ll wake with you one day, the sun will be shining through
Until that waking day, I’ll sing these words true to you
When waiting for clarity, water will cleanse your soul
Your strength and your wisdom, is constant in your soul

Tuesday Day
03:39
|
|||
|
Salted wine stains on the floor
The cats come in and out of doors
The new day comes with something more
You reminisce what could be yours
On a Tuesday day
Friends off soon while I’m behind
A common changing of the times
While people talk and break the ties
What’s never said but always lied
On a Tuesday day
On a Tuesday day
On a Tuesday day
Are you ok I’d like to see you
Sit around and drink some tea with you
Talk about the things that we used to do
Think about the things that we’d like to do
Whilst people stay on constant pills
And ever changing rolling hills
An ever-changing state of mind
Frequented by our changing times
Whilst love and peace rage and war
Together living door by door
Whilst people come in two by two
You stay around that’s what you do
On a Tuesday day
On a Tuesday day
On a Tuesday day

Stuck in a Hole?
05:14

Brother and sister what do you feel?
Your tribe has come you’ve broken the letters seal
Are you knotted like memory?
Has it all come back again?
How long have you run from yourself?
You knew it was never a game
As we went searching for the lost
But found ourselves instead
I thought I’d seen your face before
Or are you just in my head
Mother and father what was it like
Wilderness is here let go of your life
Are you hungry and thirsty?
Have you ever put your hand to your mouth?
Is it all too disappointing?
Do you feel it’s now time to scream and shout?
As we went searching….
Friends and lovers you should have listened to your own mind
Intuition had spoken instead you choose to think that you’re blind
Are you happy like you hoped you’d be?
Are you ready to change your life around?
The door has been open more than once before
The garden that was lost has now been found
You thought you’d had a part in this
You felt like you were in control
You thought that maybe things may pass
But destiny has carved the light out of your hole
Out of your soul
You’ll find things out for yourself
You can’t be told now what to do
And like a child you’ll go ahead to
Fall in line with all the rest
You’ll burn yourself fast on life’s fire
And learn in time what not to do

The Path
03:51
|
|||
|
Round and round we’ve gone, in our circles
To and from we’ve been, to destinations
Are we where we thought we’d be, are you happy
Where are you my friend?
Should we still think about, all that has been
Wouldn’t it be good if we could, except our pasts
Do you still feel a part of constant changing
Do you ever stop and breath and take a little time
Time to feed and drink, enjoy the pleasure
Time to hear your mind, what it’s saying
Take a deep breath and cast the troubles from your mind
Beloved the path is hard
But the truth is we grow/flow
At every step
Tell me all your fears
To listen all the years
To think of all the things
Just drink your absolute joy
Did you say your piece, when you had to
Should you walk the other path, down to sea view
Are you where you’d thought you’d be, are you happy
Where are you my friend?
Did you catch the right words, where you listening
Were they even talking to you, do you care
Could it have gone somewhere else, do you want to
Can you try and let go of what you can’t see
See what’s all around you, stop and listen
Take what’s given freely, like a gift
Turn yourself around until you fall to the ground

Sleeping Song
06:07
|

|
With all these things
Flying through my head
They over passed
I went to bed
I couldn’t sleep last night
Second in a row
‘cause all those people
wont ever show
There’s many phone calls
I was meant to make
I’ll do it tomorrow
When it’s too late
I couldn’t sleep last night
Second in a row
‘cause all those people
wont ever show
And all those people
I don’t wont to face
In a world so dumb
On a constant race
And soon again
I’ll hope to see
All my friends
They’re there for me

I sit on our stone
Under the tree with flowers
Like an unmarked grave
I think of our last kiss
How my head span with emotions
I want to touch you
As I walk through the fields of doubt
I try not to fear any evil
I hope you found what your looking for
But please release me from your spell
You sat in your car
A chance to release yourself from this lifetime
Of what you want to leave behind
It didn’t surprise me
When the phone rang with the news
That you were no longer hear
I walk from our stone
Through the fields with flowers
