In a dream
On a path
To the cove
We decided
We did love
I never knew about love til I saw you
In a dream
By a lake
In the wood
We both heard
It call our names
I never knew about love til I saw you
In a dream...
Pour another cup of coffee
Black as midnight with no moon
Don't be lost up in the worldly concerns
Not me or you
And you'll meet me
In our dream
I never knew about love til I saw you

Sing Out Louise
03:23
|
|||
|
Are you young and pretty
Can you sing so loud
You'd wake a city
Sing out Louise, sing out
For all the ones who think they understand
They'll turn their backs
If it's not immediate
Sing out Louise, sing out
If your vocal isn't breaking glass
They'll turn their backs
Everything's coming up roses...
Do you know your cash value
Do you do all the things
that you're supposed to
Sing out Louise, sing out
For all the ones who think they understand
They'll turn their backs
If it's not immediate
Sing out Louise, sing out
If your vocal isn't breaking glass
They'll turn their backs

Playing Forever
02:52
|
|||
|
Soon the eye will fix
Itself to a mirror
Then it will be
The very eye
I don't want to call you
You're too dull
I was born in song
Playing forever
When the ravens fly
As day is dawning
Then I hope you'll see
The very eye
I don't want to call you
You're too dull
I was born in song
Playing forever

Still A Lonely Lad
01:55
|
|||
|
I saw the star in the morning
A yellow daffodil was standing on the hill
I wandered on in the sunshine
Memories of your smile
The time has come to break the doors
We'll not live in this cage no more
Simple and meek was the nighttime
I felt a gentle roar, and then it was no more
Now we are fading the spark is gone
I'll always love you
I wonder if you will regret
Or wish you had a bird in hand
No matter what you'll try to tell
I'll know you're still a lonely lad

Did you know
That all the trees have fallen down for you
Golden sound
As though the earth was made of songs
It's true
The tulips blossom
I know you planned the rain
Then I wept
As the sky lit up for you
The grass was blue
And it was swaying in the breeze on the moon
It's true
The lilacs blossom
I know you planned the rain
And you brought the sunshine
You are the joy in my life

The Flower And The Bee
04:31
|
|||
|
Somehow the flower must bloom without the bee
Somehow the fish must live outside the sea
For it's the finest blade that is easiest to blunt, or to bend, or break
The more a thing is perfect
The more it feels pleasure and pain
Somehow the wind must find a way to blow without the trees
Somehow the moon must learn to live without poetry
For it's the finest blade that is easiest to blunt, or to bend, or break
The more a thing is perfect
The more it feels pleasure and pain
Somehow we must find a way
To make it through today
The other side must wait
I'm strong enough to stay
I'm strong enough to stay...

Dripping Down
03:28

Dripping down
My window pane
My tears collide
With cleansing rain
And I know
That through my pain
I'll be whole
And I'll face the world again
Sunlight shining
Through the dark
Shadows and
I hear the lark
Singing to
The broken few
And the many
Who don't know
They're broken too
Windchimes
In the late afternoon
They remind me not to give
Myself into darkness
Though the darkness
Knows my name
It can't have my soul
Dripping down
My window pane
My tears collide
With cleansing rain
And I know
That through my pain
I'll be whole
And I'll face the world again

Sun And Moon No Vows
02:38
|
|||
|
Sun and the moon
Shouldn't take their vows so soon
And everything won't work out in the end
Crying every night
And it's always such a fight
Everything won't work out in the end
It'll be fine
I hope it'll be fine
Sun and the moon
Shouldn't take their vows so soon
And nothing will work out in the end
Crying every night
Everything is such a fight
Will everything work out in the end?
Just smile
It'll be FINE
YOU'LL SEE
You'll see...

The Light You Give
02:11
|
|||
|
The light you give shines
No need to cry anymore
I'm with you
It's OK to laugh by yourself
It is safe
The light you give shines
No need to cry anymore
I'm with you
It's OK to laugh by yourself
It is safe
The light you give shines

Let Me Be
04:30
|
|||
|
Please don't mistake me or try to make me
The shadow of anybody else
I ain't the him or her you think I am
I'm just trying hard to be myself
Oh, society's goal is to be part of the whole
That may sound good to you, not to me
Let me be, let me be
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to plan me or understand me
I can't stand to be understood
I could never give in to or ever live up to
Being like you think I should
I've got some inner need which I'm tryin' to heed
I can't take hand-me-down destiny
Let me be, let me be,
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
Don't try to change me or rearrange me
To satisfy the selfishness of you
I'm not a piece of clay to mold to your moves each day
And I'm not a pawn to be told how to move
I'm sorry I'm not the fool you thought would play by your rules
But to-each-his-own philosophy
Let me be, let me be,
To think like I want to
Let me be, let me be
That's all I ask of you
I am what I am and that's all I ever can be
I said that's all I ever can be
