Escape

I’m on a journey
Through the desert
In the distance I can see a mountain
So high too steep for these shoes
Too dangerous I need a rope to
Keep me tethered to keep me safe
What did you see up there?
Was it like a ghost?
Could you make out what it was?
I know you saw something move
What did you see up there?
I know it’s so far up
I think you saw it move
And it triggered something in your mind
I’m on a journey
Once in a lifetime I guess
Where the mountain never diminishes
It seems to grow with every step I take
These shoes are not made for climbing
These shoes are made for earth’s bed
Chorus
Is this my escape?

FAIRY TALE Words by Miroslav Holub
He built himself a house
his foundations
his stones,
his roof overhead,
his chimney and smoke,
his view from the window
He made himself a garden,
his fence,
his thyme,
his earthworm
his evening dew.
He cut out his bit of sky above.
and he wrapped the garden in the sky
and the house in the garden
and packed the lot in a handkerchief
and went off
lone as an artic fox
through the cold
unending
rain
into the world.
(From poem Fairy Tale by Miroslav Holub From the Czech translated by George Theiner)

Memory

Memories are made
They come in a wave
Crossing your mind
Shifting shape all of the time
I need you now
Let’s try to remember
The time we fell…..
Memories are made
Then stored away
Libraries of thought
For dreams to stir up
I need you now
Let’s try to remember
The time we fell….
In love
In love
And how it began at the start
Love in love
Love

Shoot the Breeze
04:16
|

|
Take me to that other place
Paradise is not far away
These grains of sand stick on my body
As I turn to catch your gaze
This could be heaven I said
Or maybe it’s all in my head
When you came down to be with me
We shoot the Breeze
Cacti arms reach to the sun
Take me to that other world
These grains of truth stick to my lips
As I turn to catch your gaze
Chorus

Waiting
03:14

I’m waiting for the sun
I’m waiting for the sun
I’m waiting for the sun to shine on my skin
I’m waiting for the moon
I’m waiting for the moon
I’m waiting for the moon
I’m waiting for the moon to wane again
I’m waiting for the call
I’m waiting for the call
I’m waiting for the call
I won’t hear again
I’m waiting for the rain
I’m waiting for the rain
I’m waiting for the rain
To water my seeds
I’m waiting for the man
I’m waiting for the man
I’m waiting for the man
To turn around
I’m waiting for the pain
I’m waiting for the pain
I’m waiting for the pain to go away
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
I’m waiting for you to tell me you miss me

The Kite
03:48
|
|||
|
I saw you climb a ladder of lace
At the top you turned and changed
Into a kite which I held on
So hard it was as I am not that strong
My fingers hurt for gripping the reel
So far below the bucolic fields
A tug of war with a nylon chord
Exalted in the sky you just soared
Do you fly too near the sun?
Are you Icarus's son?
My hands held on as I tried to fight
But you were transfixed by a sudden light
You circled round, dived up and down
A star shot in the chandelier
Dangers that throw caution to the wind
Are ones you have lived through time and again
You are a kite who tempers the breeze
Someone who fights for all that he believes
Do you fly too near the sun?
Are you Icarus's son?

Bright Lights

I know how you feel
It’s the time of year
You’re not alone
In feeling so low
It will get
Better again
I know you can’t see
That it will my friend
If you want to take a good look at the bright lights
We’re going to take you there
We’re going to stay up all night
Sipping on the moonshine
Cause this is going to be your year
I know you
And what you went through
I wish I had been
Better to you
If only I had known
Held out my hand
I’m sorry if I
Let you down
If you want to take a good look at the bright lights
We’re going to take you there
We’re going to stay up all night sipping on the moonshine
Cause this is going to be your year
Hum hum hum…..
Ah ah ah
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

Peacock

I saw a peacock with a fiery tail
I saw a blazing comet drop down hail
I saw a sturdy oak creep on the ground
I saw, I saw, I saw you
I saw the man that saw this wondrous view
I saw a pismire swallow up a whale
I saw a raging sea brim full of Ale
I saw a Venice glass sixteen foot deep
I saw a well full of men`s tears that weep
I saw their eyes all in a flame of fire
I saw a house as big as the moon and higher
I saw the sun even in the midst of night
I saw the man that saw this wondrous sight.
(All Words `I saw a Peacock with a fiery tail` Anon 17th century except chorus)
