Draw Down The Moon
04:28
|

Even if the light should fade, even if the lightning strikes
Even if the sun should never shine, my love, my love we have tonight
If you want to call me home, if you want to see my eyes
If you want to take me, and make me your own, my love, my love we have tonight
I would draw down the Moon for you
If I could only see you tonight
I would draw down the Moon for you
if you call, I would draw down the Moon
Find me in an orchard sweet, kneel beneath the sacred trees
Fall upon the earth and all her memory, my love, my love is yours to see
Whisper words of deep desire, call me by a secret name
Lay me in the light, and offer everything, my love, all my love is yours to claim
I would draw down the Moon for you
If I could only see you tonight
I would draw down the Moon for you
if you call, I would draw down the Moon

Shadow Dance
03:45
|
|||
In the eaves of the trees in the witching hour
comes a breeze from the lights in the sky
And the sound on the ground is what gives it power
through the mouth, and the heart, and the eye
And I don't know how it goes,
but I've got to show that I am not afraid
No I don't really know,
but I've got to show that I remember things
Then I can feel it, I can feel it come
I can feel it, I can feel it
And I know what to do
I dance the shadow dance
I dance the night
I dance how shadows dance
And we dance round the light
Oh it's all like a call through an open door
from a window in time between times
And it seems like a dream I've been in before
like a whisper of words in a rhyme
And I know how it goes,
and I know it leads me to the other side
Yeah, I know all the roads,
and I know they weave into a single line
And I can feel it, I can feel it all
I can feel it, I can feel it
And I know what to do
I dance the shadow dance
I dance the night
I dance how shadows dance
And we dance round the light
Oh....moth to flame
Oh...burning....
I dance the shadow dance
I dance the night
I dance how shadows dance
And we dance round the light

Mama Ocean
04:18
|
|||
There's a hole in my soul that's lost at sea
And I don't know where to go, or how to be
I could never take my heart from thee
You're in my wine, you're in my blood, you're all I weep
Oh Mama Ocean, Oh Mama Ocean, Oh Mama Ocean
Mama Oceana, Ocean
Mama Oceana, Ocean
I try to walk, I try to talk, I try to swim
And you don't know what I have done, and where I've been
I can never find my way back in
So far apart from where you are, from all I am
Oh Mama Ocean, Oh Mama Ocean, Oh Mama Ocean
Mama Oceana, Ocean
Mama Oceana, Ocean
But I come from you, and I go back to you
Come, come, come from you, and I go back to you
Oh Mama Ocean, Oh Mama Ocean, Oh Mama Ocean
Mama Oceana, Ocean
Mama Oceana, Ocean

Change
03:52
|
|||
See the shadows of the rising sun,
read the patterns in the sky
Be an atom of the chosen ones,
picture an extraordinary time
And I know I don't know what we're comin' to
It's not the end of the show,
but I know that it's somethin' new
We rise as one to meet the sun,
and we come undone in a dream
When day is born, and dark is gone
and we light our hearts in a flame
And if we can't stay the same, if we can't stay the same
we change
When the water's calling back to you,
and the daughters of the sky
Climb a ladder running back and through,
whisper them a story and a sign
And I know, I don't know if it's comin' true
It's not the end of the road,
but I know that it's somethin' new
We rise as one to meet the sun,
and we come undone in a dream
When day is born, and dark is gone
and we light our hearts in a flame
And if we can't stay the same, if we can't stay the same
We change

Ancient Future
03:49
|
|||
OOOohhh, oooh now you know what you wanna know, now you go where you wanna go
OOoohhh, now that you do
how will you see what you wanna see, what will you ask of the light in me?
What would you say if it called you away, and it hurt to go back to your home?
Far in the ancient future I wait for you, and hold a light out in the dark
Past time and place I know we will make it through
the stars remember now is all we are
EEEeeeee you have the key, but who will I be when I get back through
from in between and inside of you
If time is only a rhyme, I would know your love is true
you'd be the one that I always knew
But how will I wait through the nights and the days, just to hold you again in my arms?
Far in the ancient future you wait for me, and hold a light out in the dark
Past time and place I know there's a way to see
The stars remember now is all we are

Big Cat
04:29
|
|||
Comin for you, and you can’t hide
Left the door loose, now I’m inside
You can run away, and you can cry
I will find you each and every time
I can see in the dark
I can run like the wind,
And you won’t get very far
‘Till I find you, I find you again
Oh Baby I’m a big cat, comin’ for you in your dreams and,
I will track you through the deep sand, and I will take you down
Are you runnin’ are you lost?
What are you hunting, what have you caught?
You can have your way and tear it up,
I’ll be right behind no matter what
I can see in the dark
I can run like the wind,
And you won’t get very far
‘Till I find you, I find you again
Oh Baby I’m a big cat, comin’ for you in your dreams and,
I will track you to the sea, and I will take you down
I can feel you, I can hear you, I can smell you here
I can feel you, I can hear you, I can taste you dear
Oh Baby I’m a big cat, comin’ for you in your dreams and,
I will track you through the deep sand, and I will take you down
Oh Baby I’m a big cat, comin’ for you in your dreams and,
I will track you to the sea and, I will take you down
Oh Baby I’m a big cat, comin’ for you in your dreams and,
I will catch you in my teeth and, I will tear it out

Inside a Dream

Inside a dream, awake I see.

Through the wind and the rain in latter days she came
She came for the honey and the land
Through the din and the rage, through the clatter and the pain
She came and she bloodied both her hands
Is there a way to be free when you have to die?
Is there a way to the sea from across the sky?
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
to her deep, dark breast
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
like the night itself
On the wings of the raven, and shadows of the sacred
she sings and she shudders her commands
On the sins of the saints, and the crackle of the flames
she spins at the turning of the dance
And I cry, I cry. . .
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
to her deep, dark breast
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
like the night itself
and I know she’s the only one for me
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
to her deep, dark breast
She holds me, she holds me, she holds me
like the night itself
and I know she’s the only one for me.
Oh I know she’s the only, only one for me
Cause she knows the ways of my soul,
and she knows the way to my home, to my home
Oh I know she’s the only one for me
Only one for me

Calling, its been calling so long, so long
Calling, its been calling so long, so long
And it winds around and through 'till I come to
and wonder who the song is from
and its been calling so long

***
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
Remember the song
'Cause it's been calling so long
****
Walking, I been walking so long, so long
Walking, I been walking so long, so long
As I find out all the moves to go along
I wonder who's steps I am on
and I been walking so long
I been walking so long
***
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
AAAA-EEE--III--OOO
Remember the song

Out by Day
04:16
|
|||
Oh you don’t wanna go, then you do, then you don't
but you know you’re only halfway home
and you don't want to loose your way or be alone
There's a revolution, revolution, revolution in the air
And it’s not like they said
It's not in your head
It's a something that can't be said
And it's written on the hearts of the dead
There's a revolution, revolution, revolution in the air
If you go, go, go out by day-o
And if you go, go out by day
When you know, know, you know the way-o
Then go by day, go out by day
And it pulls and it tightens,
it whispers of right and then wrong
And it calls and it frightens it’s been there inside for so long
There’s a revolution, there’s a revolution everywhere
If you go, go, go out by day-o
And if you go, go out by day
When you know, know, you know the way-o
Then go by day, go out by day

Over and under and all through the streets
you hear them singing each unto each
And you know that they call you away
And through your looking glass ancient eye
you see the them winging all through the night
And it’s all you can do just to stay
Curiosity it calls you endlessly
Curiosity it's blowing on the breeze
Over and under and all through the seams
they see us falling through each unto each
And they know that our falling is true
And they sing a wild song as we do
And through their looking glass ancient eyes
they see us waltzing beneath open skies
And they know that we’re calling them too
And their song fills the wind as we move
Curiosity it calls them endlessly
Curiosity its blowing on the breeze
And they will sing the song if we will sing along
And they will sing the song if we will dance along
And they will sing the song if we will play along
