The sea is spilled over the shore The wind is beating down the doors The silence is an ocean filling all And in your boat so safe and dry Gently dreaming will you still be sleeping? The day is bringing light Ah... The unicorn and dragon come They ask again can we be one The sun will rise in our time The king return for once and all It's said that many will be called To ride to the eye in the dawn

Home 04:19
When the night falls on the forest When the night falls on the forest When the pieces fall together When the peace is all-together All falls silent in the valley At the center running river Twilight burning in the fire Welcome home, my friend, it’s good to see you I am glad to be here for I have been Wading in the water of Babylon Trying so to find my way Home When the moon rise on the mountain When the moon rise on the mountain When the light come all seen glistening When the light come on the mountain On the mountain Welcome back it’s so good to find you here I must laugh to be here, for I have been Wading in the water of Babylon Trying so to find my way Home

Foxfire 03:54
How can you be so groovy? How can you be so smooth? How can you be so Here? How can you be so what you are? How can it be so clear? How can you be so Everywhere? There’s no use in fighting arrival Find here in Love not denial! It’s really happening here There’s nowhere else to be Why would you want to try to hide from all the light you see? It’s one in everyone All-in-one, Being! Foxfire, foxfire, night light you’re seeing There’s no use in fighting arrival Find here in Love not denial!

Some Angel 02:50
You’re some angel Look at what you’ve done A smile, angel A smile for everyone Oh, how could you? I guess it’s easy to do Now everyone has a smile like you And nobody knows what it’s for But everyone knows how to smile It’s easy to do Angel pouring out your love Like rain from the sky above So easily, it’s easy to do It’s no wonder I’m in love with you And nobody knows what it’s for But everyone knows about Love You know when it’s true Angel… Some angel let the secret out And now anyone can see what it’s about It’s so simple There’s nothing to know And a smile is all you have to show And nobody knows what it’s for But everyone knows how to smile It’s easy to do

Red moon hanging Sad bells clanging Sweet smells of decay Autumnal days Seasons picking Treats are tricking Raking leaves in vain Autumnal days Dead ripe color Soft ground cover All over the place Autumnal grace You don’t know when Chill will blow in That’s just nature’s way Autumnal days

The Calling 07:36
Lying on the forest floor Have you been there before? When you opened up the door That made the love return And stopped the fire from burning You inspire the wind And you keep the winter in You would do that for a friend When will you stop to see The dawn between the trees? You will be queen of all And soak up the sun When the great wind calls Days the fog spreads 'round The sun won't touch the ground When the broken sky turns brown Then we can stop to dream A place to go with meaning I will tear down these walls And build us a home When the great wind

Nightshade 04:30
You know the way you’re on It must be close to dawn For it’s so hard to see It seems your lights have gone Don’t be afraid if it feels strange Don’t! Don’t worry Love will never change Don’t turn away Look right where you are Love is never far You’re everything to me You keep me hanging on It’s in your heart I know Love’s eternal flow Don’t be afraid when it’s time to go Don’t try to hold on Trust, be still and know Don’t turn away Look into your heart Look at what you are Don’t be afraid if it feels strange Don’t! Don’t worry Love will never change Don’t turn away Look right where you are Love is never far Don’t be afraid if it feels strange Don’t! Don’t worry Love will never change Don’t turn away Look into your heart Look at what you are

When I feel a gentle rain Break the chains in my mind When I feel the rain break Doesn’t it feel good? When I wash away the fear That keeps me away from my Love When I wash away Doesn’t it feel good… Now that you know? Sometimes I think you’re killing me But if I’ve died it’s alright And every time I feel this way The light’s on inside It’s too much for me, I feel so overwhelmed! When I hear her softly whisper things I should already know When I know already Doesn’t it feel good… When you look into your heart No matter where my mind’s been We can laugh about it Doesn’t it feel good… Now that you know? Sometimes I see you everywhere And when I’m there I’m nowhere And every time I feel this way I’ve all my Love to share It’s to much for me to keep to myself!

Out on the plains Dancing in heat After the rain Fragrant air so sweet Slowly but simply All return this way River to ocean Mountain to clay We begin to see Little by little Out on a limb In you new day hues All your fine leaves Dressed in moonlit dew We will softly bend To receive today’s kiss Or break in vain trying to resist She flows on and on On the great river

Spiral Slide 04:36
I went away one morning Took a trip on a winding ride I fell into a spiral slide I ran to your bedside You know everything I tried I couldn’t escape it there was nowhere to hide And it seemed like some-kinda-mania And it seemed like insanity And I didn’t understand it when I Noticed I was falling And I couldn’t hold on And the world spun around my head singin’ the same old song… Oh baby Things are gonna come together Even if you can’t see now, my Love is one forever I threw my money to the roadside Left my clothes on the doorstep I knocked but I couldn’t get inside So naked I spiraled through the suburbs Into the jaws opening wide ‘Cause you can’t escape it there is nowhere to hide Oh No! And it seemed like it was all over And it seemed like it was the end And I didn’t understand it any Better in the morning And I cried the whole day long And the birds flew around my head singin’ the same old song… Oh baby Things are gonna come together Even if you can’t see now, my Love is one forever And the birds flew around my head...

Days keep falling Raining flowers Dreaming of you Waking here Waiting for you And the way she keeps flowing Grazing cattle Ancient meadow Weeping tears We remember We are here And the way she keeps changing We awaken we awaken we are waking we are way-king we are way-king we are...
