The Waking Hour
Well it was one of those night Down by the water Oceans of time flowing through my head Under the mystery lights And in the space of an hour I held a reflection in my heart That always remains… Like a long lost friend From a place in time… far way Well I found your name And seen you Love shine And I felt your Rage For all their lies and how they turned away Caught in the silence of the day Yeah it was one of those nights Down by the water Notions of Life running through my head Until the morning light Forever changed… by the hour When I held a reflection in my heart That always remains… Like a long lost friend From a place in time… far way Well I found your name And seen you Love shine And I felt your Rage For all the times when they turned away Caught in the silence of the day Sumina, Sumina-manayo Sumina, Sumina-manayo Sumina, Sumina-manayo All We Made Silken flowers in a vase Saddened eyes and a look of waste Shattered dreams in a mystery landscape Maybe some water might do Or a little time just to think things through Maybe it all was not meant for you The roman candles lit the night As we looked in to each others eyes And all the stars they were shining bright On that summer night While the sounds poured off the stage Echoing out all the love and rage For all the choices that we made Yeah this is all that Yeah this is all that we made And it seems no matter what I do Don’t it always come down to me and you Well I’m gonna try now to be true, let’s all be true For after all gets said and done Well you know we’re not the only ones And it’s such a long, long way to the sun It’s such a long way It’s such a long way to the sun Simon Leahy's Daughter Simon lives his life in a corner No he never ventures out beyond the borders Of his tall security And no he never seems to wonder What it is or what he might discover If the walls were gone and the miles were plain to see But Simon Leahy has a daughter And she’s got a dream, She says she’d like to discover All that going on through the miles of in between And now she’s turning around Moving in one direction Trying to find a way to leave this night alone She’s coming around Flying with the stars in the heaven And hoping to find a way to ease the light along Yeah Simon lives his life in a corner And no he never seems to wonder How to reconcile with the life he claims to seek And he wears his cross like a badge of honor While spewing hate and deriding others Who would dare deny the dogma off his creed But Simon Leahy has a daughter And she won’t abide by his fear any longer She opened up her mind And now she’s learning to be free And now she’s turning around Moving in one direction Trying to find a way to leave this night alone She’s coming around Flying with the stars in the heaven And hoping to find a way to ease the light along |
Hearts Afire
Like a bullet train, coming down the track Straight ahead, no turning back Traveling on, our hearts afire! Straightaway, right through the night With hearts that dream A new morning light Traveling on, our hearts’ afire On the trail, out on the trail of time On the trail, out on the trail of life On the trail, out on the… Out on the trail of that elusive light Now when darkness comes, To steal us away May it be said, until our dying days We held strong, our hearts’ afire To free the Truth from behind the lies With open hearts, and open minds We held strong, our hearts’ afire On the trail, out on the trail of time On the trail, out on the trail of life On the trail, out on… Out on the trail of that elusive light Yeah a bullet train, coming down the track Straight ahead, no turning back Traveling on, Our hearts’ afire On the trail, out on the trail of life On the trail, out on the trail of time On the trail, out on the … Out on the trail of that elusive light Sun Down River Sun down river That’s where I sometimes go To sit beneath the willows, And to rest my soul From high up on a vantage I watch the sun going down Still can’t hardly believe This place I’ve found Another dreamer In a dreamers paradise Where the sun lights up the land Coming out of the shadows And trying hard to understand Timeless hero Through your each and every disguise Your warm heart of wisdom All smothered in pride Ageless mirror Much older than the sea And the deeper I explore Well the more that I see Another dreamer In a dreamers paradise Where the sun lights up the land Coming out of the shadows And reaching out to understand Someday Sometimes I lye awake in bed And outside my window A world full of people Another sad and sordid sequel And I wish I could find some way To bring to life the things you said To break down the poison Elevate with reason Celebrate the seasons Wish I could find some way And the dream it’s still alive Like a torch from edge of time In the dream of life Waiting for someday to be realized And in the rhythm’s of my head Thoughts of the horizon Smiles for the children A more universal wisdom Wish I could find some way For in the letters that you sent Lessons for all the ages Written in your pages Oh God I hope we make it Wish I could find some way And the dream it’s still alive Like a torch from edge of time In the dream of life Waiting for someday to be realized The Breaking Ground Well I did not know The way I was feeling But there was something There was just something in the air And then all at once My whole world was shaken And I got this feeling I had to find my way out To the Breaking Ground! On to the breaking ground And what I did not know I never once had imagined Who would believe it Who would conceive it anyhow Ah, but there I was Just like a fly high on the ceiling Watching the whole wide world Turning up side down On the breaking ground Out on the breaking ground On the breaking ground Out on the breaking ground Yeah, on the Breaking Ground! On the breaking ground Out on the breaking ground Well I did not know The way I was feeling There was just something There was just something in the air |
Above The Clouds
Like a flying angel Floating high above the biosphere She looks out her window As the fine lines just disappear And far ahead in the distance Lye shorelines to the Ivory Coast And out over the horizon There’s a storm brewing up like a ghost And now she just don’t know No she doesn’t know anymore I turned around she said And I turned around once more I had a look and then I got myself down on the floor And felt a little like I’d been here before But I don’t know she said Seems I don’t know you anymore But someday in time When it comes to your life I hope you come to realize And that you recognize One World, One Love, One Vine And now she’s standing there in the doorway The moon shining off to one side And many miles down below She sees the mighty Himalayas rise Running down the Yellow River On a journey to the Yellow Sea She's gonna dip her soul in the water And to let her spirit run free But now she just don’t know No she doesn’t know anymore I turned around she said And I turned around once more I had a look and then I got myself down on the floor And felt a little like I’d been here before But I don’t know she said Seems I don’t know you anymore Stone Walls I don’t know why She said I don’t know why I even try, why should I even try When it makes no sense When it makes no sense at all Banging my head on these stone walls But every time she says I’m lying awake Filling time you know and trying to escape And the wheels keep turning In the back of my head Here in the back of my head As I look around, around And every where I see Their shady veils, you know their mockeries And like a curtain drawn across the open sky Don’t even think to ask my dear It’s not for you to know why But every time she says I’m lying awak Killing time you know and dying to escape And the wheels keep turning In the back of my head Here in the back of my head Right in the back of my head Here in the back of my head But every morning, she’ll greet the sun And every morning, she says I’ll… Well you know that I’ll try Yeah you know that I’ll try But I don’t know why She says I don’t know why We even try, why do we even try When it makes no sense When it makes no sense at all Banging our heads on these stone walls But every time she says I’m lying awake Filling time you know and trying to escape And the wheels keep turning In the back of my head Here in the back of my head One Vine Forty thousand years and still searching Out of the corners of my curious eyes Through a flood of dreams and imagination Down a river running deep and wide On the wind of an inspiration Beyond the fortress of that Human pride Stands the true light of our existence And this burning feeling Deep inside… my mind Where the ages flash bye In just a heart beats time And the branches converge to just one vine And as I travel on through time, Don’t you know I find All the Nature of Creation Well it’s the same no matter where you are And from the shell of this fertile planet We rise and fall, we rise and we fall And though the tree Has seen countless changes And its shadow grown all the world wide Well there’s an infant still within us And it holds the truth deep inside… our minds Where the ages flash bye In just a heart beats time And the branches converge to just one vine And as I travel on through time, Don’t you know I find |
