She Of The Sea

She walked, she walked the street
She walked the street
She walked, she walked the street
With an air of familiarity
And I asked, yes I stopped and I asked
And I asked, are you from around here
She said
I'm from far away
It's been a long time
She walked, she walked the street
She walked the street
She walked, she walked the street
With an air of familiarity
And I asked, yes I stopped and I asked
And I asked, are you from around here
She said
I'm from far away
It's been a long time
I'm from far beyond the sea,
Far beyond the sea
The deep blue sea
And by the sea is how I came
I'm from far beyond the sea,
Far beyond the sea
The deep blue sea
And by the sea is how I came
Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away
Far, far away
And I'm waiting and I'm waiting
And I'm waiting for those I love
And I'm waiting and I'm waiting
And I'm waiting for those I love

I Cover The Waterfront
04:53
|
|||
|
Away from the city
That hurts and mocks
I'm standing alone
By the desolate docks
In the still and the chill
Of the night
I see the horizon
The great unknown
My heart has an ache
It's as heavy as stone
Will the dawn coming on
Make it light
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starless sky above
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh how I yearn
Where are you
Are you forgetting
Will you remember
Will you return
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me
Lover come back to me

And The Echo
02:24
|
|||
|
Distant sounds of the travelled roads
On which my footprints fade away
One, two, three, four are the walls around me
They seem to frown even though I obey
A thousand are the thoughts that rush
Around my tired frame
Single is the door that keeps me
Enclosed in the same, the same, the same
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
I'd invite you in but you're not my kin
That's just the way that the stars align
The blood that flows beneath your well-tanned skin
Ain't pulsing with the same trouble as mine
A million are the longings that rush
Up and down my crescent-shaped spine
But no burden is too heavy
When its weight is merely time
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
And the echo, the echo
Of the world
And the echo, the echo
Of the world

Soul
04:46

My mind spilling words
Till my hear brims over
It hurts and it spills, it hurts and it spills
Till embraced by the paper
When my wheels are in motion
My window’s a changing picture
Factory, tree, factory, tree
Factory, people, people and me
And the factory, and the factory
And the tree and me
And the people
And the tree, and me
A heart, heart may be given, given
And ripped, ripped to pieces
But a soul burns on
Like a torch in the night
Like a torch in the night
A heart, heart may be given, given
And ripped, ripped to pieces
But a soul burns on
Like a torch in the night
Like a torch in the night
Our faces captured by shining screens
Captured and held until further notice
Unless we don’t notice that time flies us by
Riding on the winds of our forgetfulness
'Ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness
'Ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness, 'ness
Love may be captured by a two, three, four, many
Or love may be captured by a one
Love may be captured by a two, three, four, many
Or love may be captured by a one, a one and only
A heart, heart may be given, given
And ripped, ripped to pieces
But a soul burns on
Like a torch in the night
Like a torch in the night
A heart, heart may be given, given
And ripped, ripped to pieces
But a soul burns on
Like a torch in the night
Like a torch in the night

I sings, you does
I sings, you remembers
I sings, you does
I sings, you remembers
They feels when we sings they remembers
Whatever they does, I sings
I sings, you does
I sings, you remembers
I sings, you does
I sings, you remembers
What you is, be what you is to me
What you does, you does it all for me
What you is, be what you is to me
What you does, you does it all for me
She dance, you remembers
She dance, you smiles
She dance, you remembers
She dance, you smiles
We feels when she dance, we surrenders
We surrenders to the beat, to the beat, that be time
She dance, you remembers
She dance, you smiles
She dance, you remembers
She dance, you smiles
What she are, be what she are to you
What she do, she do it all for you
What she are, be what she are to you
What she do, she do it all for you
I moves, you remembers
I moves, you trembles
I moves, you remembers
I moves, you trembles
She feel when I moves the sun go under
And the sky it tremble as does you
I moves, you remembers
I moves, you trembles
I moves, you remembers
I moves, you trembles
What you is, be what you is to me
What you does, you does it all for me
What you is, be what you is to me
What you does, you does it all for me
You does it all for me
You does it all for me

Two
02:22

When the silence wraps itself around us
When the words we spoke have all died down
When the walls we built come down upon us
And the rage that held my heart has gone
When the hurt I've caused you is regretted
When the grief you've caused me is forgiven
When the golden self has turned to silver
And the only gold that I adore is you
Then I find you there
Then I find my love again
I chase the clouds away and let the light in
I chase the clouds away for you my love
When the tears run out on beds of anger
When a sigh is all that's left of us
When the will to touch has left my fingers
My arms will wrap around your lonely heart

Some Of Us
04:30
|
|||
|
Clouds wandering and passing through
Through the regions of my endless view
Looking for a place to hover
For humble soil they're glad to cover
And rain down their content
Pour their blessing on the land
Some of us shout, some of us run
Some of us keep toiling under the burning sun
Some of us move, some of us groove
To the rhythm of the air that's drifting on
Some of us stumble some of us fall
Some of us call them standing tall
But on and on they go and pour
On the silent soil that is no more
I crown you friend of strangers
Seeing those hidden from the usual eye
Looking for a soul to cover
For humble hearts that bleed and suffer
And rain down sacred love
Pour down blessing from above
Some of us shout, some of us run
Some of us keep toiling under the burning sun
Some of us move, some of us groove
To the rhythm of the air that's drifting on
Some of us stumble some of us fall
Some of us call them standing tall
But on and on they go and pour
On the silent soil that is no more

Deep Down
04:24
|
|||
|
The sun on the rich
The sun on the poor
Till she sheds her rays
She then may shine no more
Minds at rest
Minds that overflow
Minds that stand the test
And those that stay below
So I’ll pour your drink, you pour mine
Let us toast to life, so chique and so refined
Toast to the passion that unites us as lovers
And the curtain of green that conceals our troubles
And deep down, deep, deep down
I know there’s a reason, a reason for it all
A regular meeting between luck and trouble
I feel there’s a beauty, a beauty to it all
The charming dance
between the palace and the rubble
The rain on the good days
The rain on the bad
Rain has its refreshing ways
But sometimes it makes me mad
Anxiety of lacking
Anxiety of owning
The anxiety of befriending
Overtaking the precious lonely
So I’ll pour your drink and you pour mine
Let us toast to life, so chique and so refined
Toast to the passion that unites us as lovers
And the curtain of green that conceals our troubles
Deep down, deep, deep down
I know there’s a reason, a reason for it all
A regular meeting between luck and trouble
I feel there’s a beauty, a beauty to it all
The charming dance
Between the palace and the rubble
The charming dance
The charming dance between
The charming dance
The charming dance
The dance between the palace
The charming dance between
The palace and the rubble
The charming dance
Between the palace and the rubble

Earth

On the bank of this here river
Where the old man strolls
And on the surface of the water
Where his laugh still rolls
See the ripples in the water
See the wrinkles on his face
Last year he counted lilies
And now he counts the days
The old days ran away
With the current of today
Walk on old man, don’t count your steps
Walk on for the sake of time
Walk on old man, don’t look behind
The past will sustain itself just fine
Now take my young gaze and turn it around
Help me to face my tomorrow
Whisper courage in my ear
And how to save this earth we borrow
I was looking for a story
I was hungry for a song
And I dug deep into the flair
Of my days so bright and young
But I need the weight of history
For my decades are still few
Let me drink from this your river
The rugged wisdom that is you
My future flows away
With the current of today
Walk on old man, don’t count your steps
Walk on for the sake of time
Walk on old man, don’t look behind
The past will sustain itself just fine
Now take my young gaze and turn it around
Help me to face my tomorrow
Whisper courage in my ear
And how to save this earth we borrow
Teach me how to grow with nature
Teach me how to write a song
Teach me how to count my blessings
And to let life make me strong
Teach me how to tell a story
That can stand the test of time
To be humbled by the mountains
And still cherish what is mine
What am I to say
What am I to pray
Tell the ocean that we’re sorry
Tell its creatures to hold on
Tell the stained air that we breathe
That we recognize our wrong
Take the soil you worked in your day
And plough it with your stories
Sow my tears deep into the ground
Tell me we can still turn it all around
Hand me the tools to build a bridge
Between today and forever
Show me where we’ve tied ourselves
To habits we should sever
Tell the creatures of the land
That you fed with your own hand
That for their loss I will not stand
Now give me knowledge, give me courage
Courage
So I bathe me in the ocean
I surrender to its waves
Wash the guilt of generations
Off my skin
May its white salt purify us
Its greatest mysteries never found
May its chill wake us from slumber
Turn around
