KATRINA BY THE SEA
07:07
|
|||
|
towards a breathless sunset
laid me by the shore
beneath a crimson sunlight
the might of evermore
and soaring are the birds above my head….
clouds of strange formations
lazy, drifting by
the wind is blowing softly
circling by my side
beneath the waves the promises I kept….
a child of god, she held my hand awhile
embraced her, feeling fine
blameless as her soul
Katrina By The Sea - it couldn’t be
another world then wanted me
a life played on the road ….
when we climb the hill
at the chosen time
worn by a lifetime
at last the work is done
and we rise above
see our shadows fly
no one told us where to run……
echoes of a distant time and space
stares across the sand
no one tries to speak
fall upon my dreaming mind within
inviting me to glance
Katrina By The Sea…..
beyond a blue horizon
the first glistening of a star
out from a timber causeway
a piper stands afar
sleepwalking from the embers of the past….

PRISONER OF MY ADDICTION
03:52
|
|||
|
come the night cold sweat and fever
I was once alright
but now I’m your prisoner
as you tie the chains
ever tighter in this twilight zone
I'm trapped here down in the dark alone
you have me bended on my knees
oh, won’t you set me free?
have I wasted all my life?
and all the times I've cried?
I’m feeling like you’ve locked me up
‘cos I’m not strong enough
in a place no one can see
where I can’t get no sleep
just a prisoner of my addiction
no salvation’s on its way
the sky is grey
no blood’s running through my veins
and I shake this cage
but I’m only feeling pain
twisted thoughts of delusions corrupt my mind
searching for the answers I can’t find
my decisions always turn me cold
and I’ve traded in my soul

STARLORD
05:15
|
|||
|
look my way
I’m your Starlord looking down
let me dream for you
dreams within a dream
tell me where you’ve been
look around
I placed this garden near at hand
feed the earth for you
acorns slowly grow
into mighty oaks
along the path we ride
so deep within a sigh
let the light shine bright into your mind
and as you look and gaze above
there into the space you’ll find
there’s no easy road
out of the many that you chose
but hold my hand and that Eden will be there
among the starry skies we’ll fly
together, searching, you and I

ALL THINGS TO COME
04:17
|
|||
|
bidden to the temple
where pleasure will never end
you waited to be here
travelled to the east, my friend
no sense in suicide
to forget your life
lay back and watch the sky
and how you walked through fire
this far you've run
before a hidden door
you lay down your gun
all things to come
when all as one
arise in our time
like the prophets all told
look what we've done
as we orbit the sun
search for the sign
there’s a whole new world (where we are young)
you yearned to be here
driven from the west, my friend
hidden was the temple
with treasures to be seen again
no one needs to die
by the hands of man
lay back and watch the sky
and how we walked through fire
this far we've run
before a hidden door
we lay down our guns

TWO DAYS OF SUMMER
03:16
|
|||
|
was two days of summer
two days before the thunder
sunny bays and carefree ways
find your name’s been written on the sand
took a chance
now you’re dancing
to a new romance
and remember every word
every sunset with your eyes
you’d give away a thousand skies
real life it can wait awhile?
hear the crashing of the waves
feel your heart just sighing at night
two days of the summer
your smile was growing fonder now
high plane trails and ice cream sales
a kiss upon an open beach
rushing headlong
in the cooling wind
and reaching out
so remember every word
every sunset with your eyes
you’d give away a thousand skies
real life it can wait awhile?
hear the crashing of the waves
feel your heart still sighing at night
was two days of summer
two days before the thunder

EMMELINE
04:21
|
|||
|
shows a hint of cinnamon skin
bathed in light, dancing, she’s breaths it in
in shadows and to distant sounds
scents of all the flowers rise from the ground
one summer morning, Emmeline
smiles and laughter hear her sing
there’s no one in the world like Emmeline
listens to the church bells as they ring
everything she wants, all will still remain
here’s no cloudy dark days of rain
carves her name on an riverside tree
dips beneath the water naked and free
one English morning, Emmeline
nothing matters, nothing’s real
there’s no one in the world like Emmeline
listens to the church bells as they ring

OLD FAITHFUL
03:57
|
|||
|
from out of the blue
began with a rhyme
I found it was you on my mind
the story's not new
as old as time's well trodden
to where the heart is our guide
call it old faithful
follow the steps this way
in silence to dream
the message is real
all I am saying
is you can read between the lines of a page
for words you believe
tasted the wine
lived out four lives
misguided it's true, yes, sometimes
too many miles have gone on the clock
I'm running fast to keep up
still I'll smile

took the highway straight outta town now
heading for the sun
and as he's moving on - got this one place left to go
back where he was young
he'd been a drifter on the road of time to find a better man inside
but heard a whispering in his mind
saying "this path will guide you if you walk towards the light
... everything's all right....beyond Cerulean Skies....."
(2nd verse and 2nd chorus - available on Soundcloud version only:
through forest and over mountains
leading to way out west
as long as the sky goes on he'll keep on going strong
no need to stop and rest )
a wiser man, after all these years
it's been a long, long time
oh please say she will now forgive him for being a fool way outta line?
and those memories all come back to him
like a gift from this promised land
and deep azure blue skies, while the wind's blowing softly round...
so his wanderin's at an end now
and blissful is the peace
returning for his long lost love - yes, he's back where he came from
and where earth and heaven meet

a beacon shining
igniting, guiding
across the cosmos
a pathway for us
the polestar rises
we will follow
undo these cages
our urge is primal
to somewhere we travel
to sit and to wonder
into the valley
we ride
among the prophets
we are flowers
and silent wings
help us fly
demons and phantoms
chase them away
a symbol's planted
upon our brow
a thread is woven
and we surrender
we're growing taller
beneath every star
we endlessly waited
we focussed our eyes
to climb
to a new state of mind
holding the fire
and within our desire
ascend to the light
hypnotised
let this blindness
begin to see
burning brightly
you are the light
in deep emotion
forever raging
daydreams beginning
inside our minds
to somewhere we travel
to sit and to wonder
into the valley
we ride
leave only stillness
no clocks there to measure
and witness
the passage of time
