COOL AS BLUE
Cool as blue -
watch over you
sealite song -
guiding you on
surrender to the sea
azure gold sanctuary
with the grace of the whale
you move along
silent and strong
Catching swells that surge
touching heights unheard
on the edge of worlds
deep is the power that holds you
listen for the signs
Peace be the green
anchor of calm
stillness surreal
timeless sun
so familiar to you
wanderings here before
held like a jewel in your minds eye
sitting at ease by the shore
Come to rest
lower the sails
embrace calm
contemplate all you've seen
enchanted passage of time
taste of sweet silver wine
hand in hand with divine
you move along
silent and strong
Catching swells that surge
touching heights unheard
on the edge of worlds
Deep is the power that holds you
Deep is the power that watches over you
Deep is the power that’s always guiding you
Cool as blue
cool as blue

Single leaf

SINGLE LEAF
A single leaf it falls
For nothing it seems
Somewhere there’s a thread
And a reason to be
Tell me why the trees
Keep growing on forever
and nurtures every leaf
Tell me what you know
About the seasons turning
And all we have
Is what we sow
She sits awhile with me
Chapter gazing in her head
Turn the pages slowly
And let every moment be said
Speak to me
Oh tell me
The wisdom in your eyes
Many bridges crossed
Offers solace
To my own life
Speak to me oh tell me
She tells me why the trees
Keep growing on forever
and nurtures every leaf
She tells me what she knows
About the seasons turning
And all we have
Is what we sow
And outside the rush
is a north wind fury
But there’s beauty
In this chaos
You sit back and recall
But don’t hide behind the walls
Don’t hide behind the walls
Tell me why the trees
Keep growing on forever
and nurtures every leaf
Tell me what you know
About the seasons turning
And all we have
Is what we sow
What we sow
What we sow
A Single Leaf it falls
For nothing it seems
But somewhere there is a thread
And a reason
Just to be
Just to be

Crazymaker
Crazymaker makes - crazy waves around you
Hazy crazy moves and shakes your every movement
Says whatever it takes to beguile you
Says whatever it takes and mystifies you
And you start to fear
What's not really going on at all
You try to steer clear
Before the crazymaker puts you in a box
Is it you is it who is it what is it you is it who?
- that puts you in a box?
Is it you is it who is it what is it you is it who?
- that puts you in a box?
And gone before the shadow
Leaving by the back door
No time for resolution
Leaving confusion take the floor
- take the floor take the floor
It takes the floor
And spins you all the more
Is it you is it who is it what is it you is it who?
- that puts you in a box?
Is it you is it who is it what is it you is it who?
- that puts you in a box?
You ask the questions
you need to know
To sort out the mess before they go
you ask the questions you need to know
to sort the mess before they go
you ask the questions you need to know
you know you really need to know
When you even mention any good intention
A crazymaker puts them in a pot
You ask the questions you need to know
you know you really need to know
you know you really need to know
you know you really need to really know
And Crazymaker makes
Crazy waves around you
Hazy crazy moves
And shakes your every movement
Says whatever it takes to beguile you
Says whatever it takes, it takes
Don't let it undermine you!

Time is a healer

Time is a Healer
Never meant to hurt you last time
Didn't mean to hurt you last time
Why is it I trigger you every time
They say time is a healer
Leave the ghost behind
11 years and 12,000 miles
Why is it I'm still in the way of your smile
Oh can't we now just for awhile
Leave the ghost behind?
Leave the ghost behind.
Life can be sweet
and life can be too short
I didn't want to be the thorn in your side
Are you ready to forgive what you wont forget
Move on to a place I know you wont regret
I thought it was water under the bridge
they say time is a healer
Time is a healer
How much time, do you need this time to decide?
You know Life can be sweet
- and life can be too short
I didn't want to be the thorn in your side
Time is a healer
Time is a healer
Leave the ghost behind
Leave the ghost behind
I said just leave the ghost behind
Behind
Behind
Behind.

Lost on the mire

Lost on the Mire
numb to the bone
a race into oblivion
forgetting your soul
you fall so deep
What you aspire to
what you behold
a case of amnesia
is shaping the mould
you turn the other cheek
Waiting for the sign
Call it the call of the wild
Bored with illusion
Lies you've been using
that says you're satisfied
Waiting for the dawn
throw off a lethargy worn
No use denying
These lies aren't worth buying - at all
Aren't worth buying at all
Now you're enticed by the calm
deluded by charm
but dropped like a rock you know
when times get hard
where's the heart in this?
Habits of a lifetime
you've used as a lifeline
but sullen and grey
dragged down this way
the want in your heart amiss
Waiting for the sign
Call it the call of the wild
Bored with illusion
Lies you've been using
that says you're satisfied
Stir now with the dawn
throw off a lethargy worn
No use denying
These lies aren't worth buying - at all
Aren't worth buying at all
look to the weather, look to the weather
to show you, to show you
Waiting for the sign
Call it the call of the wild
Bored with illusion
Lies you've been using
that says you're satisfied
Stirring with the dawn
throw off a lethargy worn
No use denying
These lies aren't worth buying - at all
Aren't worth buying at all
Aren't worth buying at all - at all.
And you're shifting reality
see what you want to see
and you choose possibility
step into the clarity
and you choose how you want to see
and you explore possibility
and reclaim your sensitivity
and you step into the clarity
and you choose want you want to see
and you see how you want to be
and explore possibility
and you step in the clarity
and you see what you want to see
and you choose how you want to see
choose how you want to see
step into the clarity
step into the clarity
Step into the clarity

The island

The Island
The window above my room
brings an island into view
sunlite takes me there
and I'm walking on soft sand yeah
and I'm walking again on soft sand
Is it any wonder it holds me close
a silence without despair
is it any wonder like sand falling slow
I hear my thoughts waking me now
And losing you, I find what wont be replaced
But in finding you, I know what wont be erased
Breaking trail again
making sense of limitation
until there's no limit at all
and like shadows on snow
you watch the line disappear
watch the line disappear
There's no limit to find I find
Is it any wonder it holds me close
a silence without despair
is it any wonder like sand falling slow
I hear my thoughts waking me now
White sails on the horizon
see them cross the line
faith is an oasis
right with my heart
through the changing time
and I'm walking
right with my heart again
right with my heart again
right with my heart
right with my heart
right with my heart

Deep sun inside
04:26
|
|||
Sometimes -
I feel like running away - don't you?
I don't want to care what others have to say
If it's right for me I'll do what I need and
If it's right for you I hope you do the same and
I wont try to just please you
just understand you
It's just the way it is
It's just the way it is
And it feels so right
And I follow
Somewhere like Deep Sun Inside
Deep Sun Inside
Follow loving - it is always moving
Follow loving from the eye of the storm you see
What's the bargain that brings the shutters down
I can run but there's no need to hide now
I'm strong, I will get along
To stay around, I'd be further from myself
Crossing over where the river flows
inconspicuous through the deep & shallow
but it's always there moving you onward
doesn't matter where
I'm going where there's food for my soul
And I follow - food my soul
Somewhere like Deep Sun Inside
Deep Sun Inside
Follow loving - it is always moving
Follow loving from the eye of the storm you see
What's the bargain that brings the shutters down
I can run but there's no need to hide now
Deep Sun Inside
Somewhere like Deep Sun Inside
Deep Sun Inside
Somewhere like Deep Sun Inside
Deep Sun Inside

Essence

ESSENCE
Slowly as Ice melts
There I saw you
And slowly, finally
Warmth came on through
Taking my hand
Like a waterfall
rushing down over rocks
to the core
Precious though I don’t know
what for -
But nothing is wasted
In a landscape touched
with the essence of you
Essence of you
I love You
as sweet as a whisper of June
And I love you
In shadows and hopes of a moon
Solid as the earth beneath my feet
Every step a discovery
Between the ice
and the summers breeze
I’ve waited to know you
And see you here again My love
And welcome my love
Im not a stranger to committment
caught in a maze
But I have witnessed a power
It runs through my veins
Lessons beckon
And give me a choice
but I am driven by heart
and clear is the voice
No chains you’ll find to bind
you are as free as you want to be
And this is where I see
Essence of you.
And I love you
As sweet as a whisper of June
And I love you
In shadows and hopes of a moon.
I love you

The butterfly rose
06:23
|

Elkie Rose, where did you go?
Are you off with the wild horses?
You've taken flight - child of light
And somehow I feel closer to you
you're everywhere and everything that life could be
As free as the wave that carries the sea
And now as your footsteps sleep
Time will carry your memory
And in my world I'll see you there
the butterfly appearing
the wind in my hair
or the red shoes resting on the grass
appearing like a miracle like the years of your dance
There is life even in death
in the impressions that are left
as the hour glass of time turns
the memory is heard
the memory is heard
I wont give up in letting myself go
To the world you shared so warm, untethered and known
touching those who wish to find
freedom in the spark of life you inspired
and I thank you for this
I thank you for this
I thank you for this
I thank you for this
I see you walking through my dreams
through my dreams
through my dreams
through my dreams

TURN ON THE LIGHT
Empty bottle rolling down an empty street
Lamplight is falling into 73
Empty house has been now
- for sometime
Waiting for somebody
- to turn on the light
In the next street Angela sleeps
'tween doorways in the dark
With the comfort pulled out from under your feet
It's hard to ignore just where you are
Waiting for somewhere
-to turn on the light
The street at day is a rush in the haze
Of the coffee that never lasts
Before people rushing ongetting so much work done
and peace appears fragile as the glass
Oooh slow down
What's it all about anyway?
Turn on the light
The word on the street is community
Every stitch and seam
The coat that keeps the cold from getting in
The fabric that holds the smallest of dreams
of you and me
So turn on the light
Turn on the light
Because who's there left to care
When there's not a penny left to share?
Where's the roof over your head,
your place, your shelter for your bed?
We're all under the same sky
The same sky
So turn on the light
Who's holding the keys?
Turn on the light
Who's holding the keys?
Turn on the light
Who's holding the keys?
Turn on the light
What's it all about anyway?
Who's holding the keys?
What's it all about anyway?
Who's holding the keys
Turn on the Light
Turn on the Light
Turn on the Light
