From within to the great without
There’s a universe inside your doubts
Be still, be still my love
For you know not what you are made of
You are waves, you are storms
And you are the highest mountain
You stream, and you soar
And you are the stars above
From within you, you will break out
For there’s no one there to hear you shout
So be still, be still my love
For you know not what you are made of

Gulls

Take my hand
I’ll lay it here in yours,
In the sand,
On this foreign shore
Take my hand,
Won’t you clasp it to your close,
As we stand,
Surrounded by our ghosts,
And we’ll float,
Like two gulls in the wind,
We’ll float,
Watch the earth as it spins,
We’ll float,
Like two seabirds fair,
Over land remote,
Suspended in the air, oh…
Take my words,
Every paragraph and paraphrase,
And for once,
Won’t you leave me with nothing to say?
Take my words,
I will write them for you on a page,
Bind them up,
Give you a book, that you can save,
And we’ll float,
Like two gulls in the wind,
We’ll float,
Watch the earth as it spins,
We’ll float,
Like two seabirds fair,
Over land remote,
Suspended in the air, oh…
Take my heart,
I offer it beating,
As we start,
Maybe you can stop the bleeding,
Take my heart,
I’ll wear it for you on my sleeve,
Don’t you part,
Stay here and fall in love with me,
And we’ll float,
And we’ll float,
Like two gulls in the wind,
We’ll float,
Watch the earth as it spins,
We’ll float,
Like two seabirds fair,
Over life remote,
Suspended in the air, oh…

Leaves

How many times
Must we all do this to see
That every god we imagine
Is yearning for us to be free
Well I do believe
In who we are becoming
Let’s grow the wings to fly
And gather the stars in the sky
Well darlin’, it seems to me
That the trouble actually
Begins in the parts of ourselves
We hide and then don’t seek
But look at the leaves
On this beautiful oak tree
Somehow she’s not afraid
To shed what lets her breathe
And darlin’, if I might
Be the one to say this time
We’re born even when we die
So we might as well all try
To make something bright
Out of what we find in the night
So when my leaves do fall
And my body goes to sleep
Remember it’s just the way
I save my energy
I’ll be back in the spring
Ready to bloom and sing
And make some shade
With the ones who find
Their gods of love
In everything

New York City
03:34
|
|||
Won’t you meet me in New York City
Walk with me down the avenues
Won’t you meet me burrowed in buildings
Stay with me through the passing afternoon
Hand in hand by my side
Stay with me until the night
Pours in around us
And the golden windows all light up
Circling round us like the stars
As the serenade of honking cars
Sing their cacophony song
We’ll go so sweetly ambling on
Won’t you meet me in New York City
In the autumn when the leaves change
Because I’ve been told they’re so pretty
In Central Park on a bench by the lake
Hand in hand by my side
Stay with me until the night
Pours in around us
And the golden windows all light up
Won’t you meet me in New York City
Midway across the Brooklyn Bridge
And bring me a heart so heavy
That you can’t live without
We’ll drown it in the Hudson
Hand in hand by my side
Stay with me until the night
Pours in around us

Into the Infinite
04:24
|
|||
Our house of love has something in it
More beautiful than Venus or the moon
It’s a yes that knows
And a love that grows
Through space and time, out in
Into the infinite
I saw your face and my heart remembered
A story it heard long ago
Of ones that find
They’re two of a kind
A pair of birds that share the same feathers
So tonight, we combine
Our lives, our hearts, and our times
We celebrate in heart and mind
Because tonight, we entwine
So take my hand
Whisper in my ear
Kiss me there, and hold me here
Our bodies will go everywhere
So take me far
While you draw me near
But for tonight, we combine
Our bodies, our space and our time
We celebrate with yours and mine
Because tonight, we entwine
Our house of love is not finished
We build it with our laughter and our lives
And some day we’ll know
Just how far there was to go
But every single day
We will arrive
Our house of love has something in it
A story I heard long ago
It’s in the eyes that shine
And the love divine
Flowing out through space and time
Into the infinite
Through space and time, out in
Into the infinite

Icarus Falls
05:46
|

I cannot ride on your back forever
I cannot use your wings to fly
I cannot brace you from bad weather,
Protect from storms that come at night
I cannot ride on your back forever
Eventually I’ll drag you down
The wax will melt upon your feathers
And in ocean we will both drown
Don’t you know we’ve come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
When the Gods settle the score,
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound
I cannot use your soul to save me
Although long ago I tried
For I know you will always blame me
For holding close to yours to catch a ride
I cannot use your candle
Oh to set my heart aflame
This journey is one I cannot handle,
So while you jump I will refrain
Myself
Don’t you know we've come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
As the Gods settle the score,
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound
I can’t use your words for ammo
I need my own to get me through the fight
All the troops that you have gathered,
They are yours they are yours, they are not mine
They are yours, they are not mine
Don’t you know we've come too far
To let it go and let it all fall down
As the Gods settle the score,
Even Icarus is heaven bound
Even Icarus is heaven bound

Thank You Mother

Thank you Mother for your blood that is our water
Thank you Mother for your food that feeds our souls
Thank you for your breath of life that lets us care for one another
Thank you Mother for your love that keeps us whole
Thank you Mother
Thank you Mother for your water
Thank you Mother for your food
Thank you for your breath of life
And thank you Mother for your love

Walk Yourself Down

Walk yourself down to the river
Where my broken heart can meet yours
Loose your arrows from their quivers
We can begin once more

For Your Peace
02:10
|
|||
Not so far from here, there moves a sound so clear
I hear it in my bones, my heart
It melts away my fears
May every step I take become me more awake
Peace is not a thing that comes
It’s something we must make
On our feet, breath complete
Oh lord, make me a piece of your instrument
And teach me how to sing
For your peace, on my feet
Oh lord, oh lord, make me a well of your spring
And show me how to drink
For your peace, on my feet
Oh lord, make me a piece of your instrument
And teach me how to sing
For your peace
For your peace
For your peace
