The Ghost
04:44
|
|||
The ghost of my mother came to me tonight
To tell me everything will be alright
That these bruises will heal but scares they will remain to let me know that this love is real
She said your brother is here safe and sound with me
One last time into the breach
And shot into the greatest of mysteries
Where the stars reveal there names
The memories will fade
And the faces will been erased
CHORUS
In your time a light of 1000 stars will shine
But if none of them light your way will you still go on?
do you do it for love?
do you do it for money?
Or just to see what lies beyond the great beyond
The ghost of my mother came
Into this dream
She said this is not the end
There is still so much for you to see
Until the pale horse brings you home
And the mysteries that bound you here finally let you go
CHORUS
In your life a light of 1000 stars will shine
But only one of them light your way so you still go on
did you do it for love?
Or did you do it just because?
Or just to see what lies beyond the great beyond
Either way you’re home

The Moscow Ballet

he walks through a dream
blissfully unaware
of the coming calamity
that
eventually
befalls anyone
anyone that’s has ever loved
CHORUS
she drew him in with a song
and held him close
with low expectations
it’s easy to dream another’s
dream
but in time you find you’ll loose your grip on reality
and you make a stranger of your lover now
a loss for words
too many questions unanswered
CHORUS
i drew you in with a song
and held you here with a melody
now I fear there is something wrong
its funny just how lonely people can be
the ship departs at sunset
maybe i’ll write you a letter from london
or a postcard from old gay paris
like its all nonchalant
and means nothing to me but
the thought of keeps me from unraveling
like the whores in gorky park
I dance with no regard
like I'm lead in the Moscow ballet
its crazy how lonely people can be

Magnolia

|
|||
It feels like a break in the line tonight
I’d love to tell you that I feel fine
But It in all honesty it’s a lie
I fear I’m loosing touch with a my friend of mine
CHORUS
where are you
What am i
Everywhere I look To see you
Where the summer sun once warmed us in it’s light
I fulfilled seven lives
Before you came to be
oh Beautiful boy
when you were here
all was bright
And all was right in the world
CHORUS
where are you
What am i
Everywhere I look To see you
Where the summer sun once warmed us in it’s light

Spirit Guide

The daylight is fading fast
I need a captain to take me on
For the river here is deep and wide
My love she waits on the other side
I’ve come with nothing
I am a stranger here
The rains taken everything
So Take my hand
You have such a familiar touch
CHORUS
In my youth I held everything
The birds would sing a sirens song
Now time has had its with me
And I most go on
She waits for me in rainbows
Light
Across the river deep and wide
Always was and will always be
the one my one true love
there she Waits for me
I will return to you from time to time
You’ll find me where a flower blooms
I’m never further than your heart
And in this you will know I’m loving you
and I will wait
Where the river is deep and wide
and guide you on

Herald Square
04:36
|

Friday night it comes again
Alone I stagger down the street
I Tiptoe to not upset the rhythm of the city
Lights are stream by like stars
The carriages in Central Park all filled with lovers
Always Makes me feel so alone
Through the crowds I go
Every face i feel Ive know
A reflection of a girl I see in windows from a lifetime ago
CHORUS
I watch the dancers down in Harold square
The world falls away as
I sit and stair
I fall in love again but from a far
And dream away another year
BRIDGE
And In my dreams I am an island far across the sea
Moon light in sheets illuminate the the waves that are surrounding me
The love that I seek is written in the sand here For eternity
This is my dream
Then I wake to hear the city it is beaconing
I’m a girl of modest means
Don’t expect to much from me
My simple city dress is stained with uncertainty
The kindness of a strangers words
The kind of which I’ve seldom heard
They fall on deafened ears like tear drops into a dream
CHORUS
I watch the dancers down in Harold square
My dreams awaken as I sit and stair
I fall in love again but from a far
And dream away another year

See It In The Sun
04:00
|
|||
You can see it in the sun
Winters gone and spring has come
To All the world in constant changing
The colors have become
The radiant reflection of
All this joy that I am feeling
BRIDGE
The flowers in bloom
The birds start their singing
All becomes a new
To a world in need of love
You can hear it in the wind
The world is changing once again
Like it always has since the beginning
The blossoms slowly fade
Giving way to longer days
As the summer sun starts descending
CHORUS
Into Night music plays
To the beat of love and laughter
The moon serenades
a world in need of change
You can feel the gentle breeze
And leaves are changing on the trees
As Mother Nature starts her fall into slumber
With the first winter’s snow
It’s time for letting go
And start to fill our hearts with wonder
Time for letting go
