“...I can recall there was always a musical instrument fading in and out of my early childhood years. A hollow, curved body of wood strung with tight wires, that when touched, reverberated a sacred tone. A range of ringing bells sparkled like an awakening chime. I remember a small organ my grandmother had, until a time when I noticed the instruments were no longer there. I must have missed them, for once I could afford to, I refreshed my experiments with new instruments of my own choosing. Around that time the albums I’d inherited were so progressive and otherworldly to me I couldn’t dream of emulating them so never dared. A recorded album is a mythology, a parable, a philosophy encapsulated inside the reverberating sound waves which induced forever changing hallucinations. With the aid of headphones the music brought me on a journey of picturesque soundscapes. Just to be able to weave a simple three chord melody and to harmonize a vocal pattern was a giant step. Alone in the quiet darkness of my chamber I became hypnotized by the charming echoes released by my own hand, but the practice involved toward actually learning were intimidating and frustrating. Music is a vast entity, and what muse wants to enter the spirit of a lazy composer? Too ashamed to take proper lessons I labored toward finding the major notes which held the combinations to a hundred opening doors. With great interest in this intricate game of shapes, yet with no desire to study their names, I could be free to listen and discover without theoretical barriers until the echoes fell naturally into place. However, it wasn’t until later in life, once I’d become involved in the wayfaring adventures of Eastern and Western Europe, that my lyrical spirit married with my musical compositions. A twelve string guitar and a sketchbook always accompanied me on my journey. When the dust settled I’d have journals filled with scribbled diagrams of chords and their changes. These structures, mixed with my own perceptions, moods, romances, sceneries, and encounters with long seasons in solitude, evolved simply in the time it took to walk over a bridge and with no particular destination in mind. Layer by layer, throughout a decade, I'd arranged forty compositions into four records in the exact order they were conceived. I’d record them the moment I figured out how to play them. Nostalgia transcends the artist in their time and presents the work in a new surrounding, with fresh young minds to experience their ruins. Retrovue/Overture is a self expression meaning to look behind at everything you are. Each letter in Overture is found in Retrovue.The two words harmonize to recreate this sentiment.”~ MLH
Here these days these nights these years
have all revealed their lights through your eyes, love
listening above my gaze stay your stars
do you wish to be drifting in this mystery
reflected in warm lights of dreams?
Seems like a lifetime ago
she was alone inside the square
the sun is vibrating in her hair
Meridian Rainbow
feels like a million moons away
I fell in the fullness of those rays
Awaken the advent of this day
Meridian Rainbow
And there is time for me
to speak these words of reverie in your ear, girl
believe that I have long sung of your song
O, I want to drown inside your ocean, love
surging your tides
swaying the moonlight
I was alone
she was a waterfall
and in the foam
where and when
see you again
O, babe, wait for me on the mountainside
And our love wanes like the fresh spring days
arriving slowly on rolling waves
we lie awake in life’s sweet embrace
beneath the shade the seasons change
Yea, I’m aware the fallen leaves caress your hair
in somnolence among the stars
in contemplation as the evening’s growing dark
you’re twilight dreaming
Time has come
morning soon be gone
let’s leave our tears to fill the ocean
sun is low
let’s wander down below
In shadows of heaven
starlights bloom
reside behind the moon
inside your eyes I see forever
tender glow
once more before the dawn
in shadows of heaven
O, babe, on my way to you
moon waits on the edge of the mountainside for me now
After all’s been led
and after all’s been strung
it seems to come undone
laughter’s songs been sung
rights and wrongs been read
it’s time to clear your head
of roseate words once said
how their colours bled
to blue
in timeless silence of the stars
beat our sleeping hearts
dreaming through
Autumn Moon Love
To catch the setting sun
to touch the atmosphere
feeling far when you are near
our drowsy summer days
resplendent in the haze
when I awake will you be here
or has our innocence been sold
for the truth untold
in our youth
while the seasons turn to gold
with the seeds we’d sown
to bloom into
Autumn Moon Love
Lazing on the grass the hours full passing
skies so vast and clouds arranging
on, everlasting world
drift away..
still I’ll only remain
dedicated to you
through and through
Lone distant satellite
rise behind the eye of a moonbeam
stargazing outer spaces are we
chasing shadows left here by the sun
for everyone
buried deep with these ascending reveries
rising from their roots
they’re flowering
why I’m drowning in age old wine
beneath the vine
when I can’t get to you
what else can I do
Lone distant satellite
rise behind the eye of a moonbeam
unseen between the hours are we
chasing flowers floating out to sea
Lone distant satellite
right behind the eye of a moonbeam
stargazing
out of spaces are we
chasing melodies
a little bit of sorrow in my heart for you child
a little bit of richness in my heart
Sun goes down
through the primrose hills of London town
spirits in the trees, rustling their leaves
red and brown
shades of blue
reappear in twilight
all in all my favorite view has always been the sea
Come on,
She come around again
I would stay if I knew when
Far too many hours have been spent awaiting seasons to begin
O, O, she come around again
I can hardly wait to celebrate
The time of my return
Farewell, my friend
for are we not wayfaring men?
going there alone
drifting farther than we know
unaware
of the reason to despair
already so low the undertow swept me away
Below the moon the road is stirring
shadows emerge
along the rows of golden windows
glowing round the turn
there is powder in the snowstorm
a hound heard in the distance
the listless sound of trains in town
This winter eve
with my cloak receding ‘gainst the wind I say
what better gift can gods divine
than left behind
like the wine is for the poet
madness, the courageous
remembrance for long lost ages
And when the clouds were weeping where the sky was turning grey
what did you tell me
The sun shall pass over your head again
shining through
like a friend on the hillside
these Greenwood Mountain Days are ending soon
But they will renew
These Greenwood Mountain Days all end this way
La la la la la
Life finds a moonless island
steal away another day
run to the silent stars
in the midnight hours of the waking fields
dream love
hazy as a rain lull
leave go
echoes on the wind
Calling you away again
under the waves
it’s been so long
we cannot count the days
when we’ll awake
under the waves
island of the waves
reaching out for you
I found a place between the fallen trees and the effigies
once ether skies divided
gods decide to reunite
and reaffirm
Heaven is the only World
I say
Won’t a light shine tomorrow?
Although we have nothing
And sorrows sing deep in our garden and always..
your love brings
lingering kisses
sweet with delight
always you
take me higher
your love is better
April stirs in our misty gardens
where you eclipse the sun, the moon, the stars
I bend to kiss you
your lips are strong and taste of wine
makes me feel divine
All the time left in the world
Is all I’ll ever be
and all the love left in you girl
is all I’ll ever need
to bring me joy
Emerald Isle
where’s your rivers flow
So I may follow on downstream
and fill our souls with your springtime music
we were born to lose this
I’m riding to this lonesome mountain
Long and steep is this road I climb
with six new strings and a cast of sweet wine
to ease my mind
I sold my silver for a hollow body
and crimson drops of rain
for where I’m going trouble never find me again
I’m riding to this lonesome mountain
flying high
with six new strings and a cask of sweet wine
In the fragrance of the springtime
Everything
changing from water to wine
with the joy you bring
Ah, the days were ripe for love
the nights were right for love
and all above came down for us
in visions of our wonderlust
O, how stardust breezes blow away
As a child I wept for the old man in the sand
and slept awhile until the waves crept through my hands
and on the tides the winds they whispered of a woman’s voice
O, then you were my star
We came alive in poems and seaside rendezvous’
your tragic eyes they might intoxicate the moon
despite the dying light we’d lie awake together
O, when you were my star
In the fields of earth and sandstone
I was digging dawn to dusk
her mist was drifting all around me
changed my bones to rust
Ah, the days were ripe for love
the nights were right for love
I walked the night alone ‘til the road had turned to stone
warm in the wine I shared with the townspeople below
all life is wandering
Where’s there to go?
O, when you were my star
Star, been a long time gone
I’m trading tonights for tomorrows
in the wake of our dreaming unborn
return, to a darkness unchanged
I’m gazing over my shoulder
older, believing in days that remain
so near, so dear, and so far
floating we are
stars on the waves
First impressions don’t mean much
need time to grow
to gain a trust on gravity
or you’ll never know
open notes, they’re like windows
for easy friends
so come on round, sir
chime on in
they’re making it now
yes
I can’t recall hearing your name
would you say it once more please
you look as if you’ve seen the ghost of twenty centuries
and if you wish to leave them lying at the bottom of the sea
well be my guest, it’s warm inside
a friend is all you need
yes..
Gather children there’s an evening song
the fire’s stirring
O, to see your faces in the morning rain
glowing just the same
so glad that you came to stay
This light is ours tonight
we can make it easier
we can make it easy if we try
stepping stones are worn with walking
still we found a place to stay
we can learn to love the end of days
Once on a weekend drive
the highway lines became tomorrow
shipwrecked in the sand
in a strange new land
we’re all left standing there
with flowers in our hair
I say..
Stay, we can find another key to sing for the evening
listen my friend to that bird on the wind
coming back this way
for all time you’ve been waiting
well here is your chance
for our signs are everchanging
cast your nets with open hands
In Higher Love Songs
we gonna rise together
in light of the dawning sorrow
in Higher Lovesongs
they gonna shine forever
in spite of the mourning silence
Let your words be true, dear
and bring every new year
a bloom for the stone
Gonna sing a new song for you love
today is our lucky day it’s all that’s left for us
for all time you’ve been waiting
here is your chance
for our signs are everchanging
cast your nets with open hands
A cool rain come rumbling down
the day we lose the sun
and we’ll stumble in the forest moonshine
singing evening songs
all rise, gonna make a run for the riverside
gather my children all we leave behind
In our time
In our time
I’ll come to you
A diamond shining new
in beauty, in youth
reflecting through
these incandescent ruins
your beauty renews
your beauty is true
The road draws so steep and narrow
shadows seem as one
carry on stir the embers glowing
burning for the dawn
inside this eternal horizon
all stars fade
glisten in wonder
of the dreams we made
In our time
In our time
Gone down Hempstead Heath
bent beneath September showers
here the seasoned leaves
they seem so new to change
I’m trying to find a way
to you, baby
I’m trying to make it on
before the storm
In my netherworld resembling heaven truly
Emerald Netherworld I’m choosing your illusion
yes I know
every time I fall you are standing over me
and once I let it go I wake inside your dream
wish I could love you all
all through the evening
Ah, these sanctifying tides
drawing near a raging seaside
for what begins with time
always ends in joy
this wave is gonna break
I’m gonna make it on
before the storm
The silver sun had drank up all the wine
by the time I trickled back to the village
spent the day beside the old church gates
the scent of blossoms rotting on the slates
yea I was there when the breeze rose through the air
lingering in the barren meadow
beloved you had followed too
while crickets creek in woven hollow trees
Say a prayer to be somewhere for the wintertime
take a ride be gone longing for spring
autumn brings the fragrant sting of a summerlove waiting
yea I’d rather stay
it’s easier to let things come my way
Lovely creatures of consolation cheer my gloomy days
while nature around us decays
lofty spirits abandoned in this nest of flames, rejoice
don’t mourn for tomorrow, rejoice
As the train began to crystallize
aligning time with spaces racing citybound
the scenes were changing evenly arranged
I heard someone say
There goes the overground
Bells they rang in the august evening
in the spirit of a heartfelt sadness
beloved you had followed too
where sparrows bloom from shadows of the moon
Laughing sky
far from home
I was alone and always waiting for the turn
landscape lines
lives unchanged
the funerals arranged before they place you in the ground
Looking on the road was rising in the dark
lord I was gone
but you are standing in the light
Lord I could feel the wheels are turning round
burning the bridges down
coming on home to you
You’ll see me through the light under the sun
transfix the night
until my mind’s undone
I’m coming on home to you
Churchyard people
why are you weeping?
this isolate temple stands as it has always been
this isolate temple stands as it has always been
Looking on
the road was rising in the dark
Lord I was gone
but are standing
in the light
Inside my room where time has stayed
through steady drops and drains
the pipes have burned and the pages turn
to face me once again
I want to score these words to hear
before the thought can disappear
The gifts you gave to me were everything and evermore
I found them waiting there between the footsteps from your door
in fields of green
and greens of gold
in silver streams
of country roads
Rainy Afternoon
what are we going to do
Rainy Afternoon
Where are we going to
Something that you said to me
so many years agone
I’ve drifted into reverie
kind spirits linger on
Beyond the clouds
rush sights unseen
while gentle shrouds
hush us to sleep
Ancient amber hollow
lavender and candle light our room
fragrance smooth and mellow
bathing in the sentience of our soul
the glow of your face
always radiates a lover’s gaze
darling, this taste
your kiss initiates nocturnal embrace
Now we’re taking our time
on the Northern line moving past the gate
and truly the sun tells me you are the one
as we walk down the lane
passing the park with the view on the hilltop
it’s started to rain again
Greenheart, summer evening
spirits surrender earth and sky
delight in tender healing
in the morning we can wake inside
the avenue shapes
how they move away in solitude these days
let’s draw the shades
this lonesome life it fades
with all of the moon to stay
all of the moon to stay...
Just drive on the horizon highway
view the night behind the day
radiate fortune for cultivating in the sun
I can tell the sign on the rise
it’s no surprise
seeing you smiling through your heartache
it’s tiny stars that light up the dark
there is a start
to ending those lonely hours in the sun
I would that I could
On faithful dream
deliver us a place of peaceful times
so we may shine good tidings
Breathe all you believe into a living dream
to the west, love
unto the east
come free a better world inside a waking dream
Wait, transcending another space
where everyone together can recreate
there’ll be time to share
a love that’s there
with every year so dear
to come undone
I was only wishing
you’d turn your light my way
my thoughts have been heavy all the day
I’m all that you are you’ll see
life is revolving seen from afar
from another star
rain all evening
my mind’s been weaving
with dreams of you, love
A song in the wood softly wakens
drawn from a place we all been before
the faces we wore, pure and defenseless
remember the way Godslove made us feel
Heaven and Earth
Ether and Day
you came to change your life to gold
and the rights just can’t be sold
stay with the moon
or run with the sun
the one you waited for was you
now don’t you tear your soul in two
Ride on the wind
right through the ages
surrender to grace
not the choosing of sides
losing our minds
to illusions outside
Heaven and Earth
Ether and Day
you came to change your life to gold
and the rights just can’t be sold
stay with the moon
or run with the sun
the one you waited for was you
now don’t you tear your soul in two
I’m still gonna love you more
still gonna love you more and more
Father, mine
makes me the time
to come from behind
and leave no trace
on the lines of his face
he gave something to offer
lately I’m living for
his open door
that leads me there
sharing all our secrets
we care to keep a promise
And you believe in my heart
I do believe in your heart too
Nearest friend
I understand
the change is here
for every plan
and when your wisdom finds me
I’m so glad to listen
And you believe in my heart
I do believe in your heart to
Yes, I do
How’d the weight of day
get so heavy
now the words they burn
with each return
You learn to break without the rules
rules are for fools
like you and me
always better things to plan
our wonderland
by the stormy sea
Sometimes we lose a friend
in the blue skyline
still the city lights shines
grey in your mind
You learn to break without the rules
rules are for fools
like you and me
always better things to plan
our wonderland
by the sandy sea, yea
want to see things as they are
don’t want to be blind
I want to be free tonight
and you can make it all worthwhile
With the jingle of a chime
tree shakes and blackbirds fly
and the carriage rolls over the bridge
only to go back again
the morning calls, so out you fall
walking boots, pipe, and cane
On the way, climb past the lonesome clay pot garden
some things they aught to stay the same
there on the hilltop, all life awaiting summer’s end
for what lies ahead
And nearing yet far in the distance
the old stone tavern that I once knew
and inside this room
was the Feast of Robin Zephraeda
that martyr of mystical tunes
who died in this very saloon
They filled my head with wine and song
my heart belongs unto this day god had made
enchanting prayer, dancing on air
our spirit shares
o, how we laughed with joy
one vibrant voice echoing in halls
as shadows rise taller than before
out through the door I still hear them now
in howling rain
and the sound of wind chimes
on my windowpane
Luminous day
counting on colors of paint
to help me relate the natural world
smoke on the leaves
as they were blowing from trees
in solemn night all one needs to tell
and so from pages on shelves felt their visions myself
soundwaves rehearsed voices heard
sculpted from stone
some say he lived there alone
droning visions on tape
the station replayed
while his manuscripts fade
spoke through centuries of rhymes thru pictures in time
Believe in the grave mans eyes
thinking about you, thinking about you, I’m thinking about you now
Where did you go
my brother’s friend
skipping through the air
crashing here nor there
bold faces wept
behind a smile
your photographic eyes
they stared for quite awhile
we’re thinking about you
thinking about you
thinking about you now
I’m hoping you can know
how bright the spirits you made glow
beneath lamplight dreams your troubled soul
while the world you reached for keeps you down
I can see that now
Reading rooms of ancient phrases
Foretold the fates of these days
Iron bells in winter solstice
Ring out the memory
Please, I’m sorry for the words I say
I’ll miss you on that summer day
When you come running ,
When you come running after me
Spin the numbers wheel
there’s always fun in games
with your appeal
in the end you can try again
O, no, you can never try again
After all the high times
worth their while in our lives
new loves of mine they used to be
but when these splendid spirits bring
their shades of lunacy
you take the train to Salisbury
one way gold
A cottage (god is) in the field
stars like blood congeal
they bring us peace
safe beneath
this evening’s grace
O, yea, my mind is stretching out in space
After all the high times
worth their while in my life
what loves of mine they used to be
but when those splendid spirits bring
their shades of lunacy
you take the train to Salisbury
So long, my aim was less than true
where I’d land I’d seldom knew
there’s a chance I’d been the fool
enchanted by life’s phantom view
and some days I’d not the eyes to wake
admired by time’s escapes
with the keys tossed in the deep
for navigating destiny
Once I heard a windsong sung from the river
mystical tone blown on the breeze
weaving a maze drawn down from the mountain
slow and serene, float on a dream
strumming the notes that rose off the water
skipping on stones, whistling trees
living at ease with nature surrounding
rhythm of space
spirit at peace
Somewhere with feathered pen in hand
lighted candle on the stand
in the trance of my abyss
utopiates to bear the bliss
and the moon vibrating wings above
the owl and the doves
and the rabbits on the grass
their gazes cast on mirrored glass
Once I heard a windsong sung from the river
mystical tone blown on the breeze
weaving a maze drawn down from the mountain
slow and serene, float on a dream
strumming the notes that rose off the water
skipping on stones, whistling trees
living at ease with nature surrounding
rhythm of space
spirit at peace
It’s alright now
my brother won’t you show me you’re not down again
when you’re so close to the edge
rise like the wings across the sea
or descend your wall
so you may break my fall
there are so many ways to be
So when someone is at the door
we let them in and ask how’s their day’s been
and did you bring the sunshine in
take a rest and stay awhile
we’ll pour the wine that’s fresh from the season
we’ll break the bread and celebrate
And at the end of the day
my sister will you hold my hand let’s pray now for
the welcome spirits we’ve drawn
I hear the wolf cry in the night
the moon’s a lonesome silent face
for those who’s steps are traced
without a friend to share the pace
That’s why when someone is at the door
remember the reason why they have come for
so we can play a seaside song
well life has a nice surprise
the sound of guitars and distant drums
reminds me of when I was young
I was young once
just as you are right now
floating on the wings of angels
magic skies, dazzling shapes above the ground
phantom skies, all god’s creations
I can’t describe this feeling face to face with words
but I shall speak station to station
like a star that burns out and falls unto the earth
I felt severed from my maker
but there’s a lifeline for the weight we must climb
some nights they’ll be sorrow
find the light in the shadow
embracing both sides
we must cut through or be blind
our fear hides the secrets
from the spirits we’re seeking to find
I won’t let them bring you down
No I won’t let them bring you down
maybe tonight
you’re gonna see that I’m right
All that’s good in my heart
wanna give it to you
All that’s good in my heart
gonna give it away
I’ve been awakened by the wind love
to hear the birds and bees
the bending reeds and willowed streams
I’d stay at home a lifetime
my bones below the shade
the fading colours of the day
been coming down in my old town
all summer long
Speak to me in the words
of dreams I like
if the urge seems true
might I follow
To be gone through a wonderous age
lost on the wings of a nightflight
dawning twilight rides again
there’s a long line until the end
am I alright feeling it’s easy to change
from across the way
Moonglow serenades the silent pines in the haze
this hour’s where I leave my things to go
escaping this fancy ruin
with antiquated view
California light that fire
the engine’s timed for a one way drive
and I’ve nothing to lose
How long have you been waiting
I’ve just been easing on
Lover, drown the day and drink away
these wine dark seas of madness
carry on the tides all through the night
rush the evening breeze
chaste memories
how capture fleeting moments
when clouds inspire change and winds arrange
the seasons lost at last we are gaining
Over the mountain, love
shadows passing into daylight
over the mountain, love
seaside sings her songs for you
Islands of the sun
Isles of the moon
child in your waking hours stay
embracing the greyest flower a rainbow
Mother she gave it all away
Converging forest springs, trickling
untold in age old whispers
this ripe magnetic night where stars divide
her pulse flows through the valley
in gardens fresh of stone and flesh and bone
all things appearing to disappear
If I could be in a whiskey bar with an old guitar
I would sing this song for you
sung so sour, so carelessly and bittersweet
in these late hours
unwinding streets
that lead tonight into the morrow
some may follow and some they stay
we pay our way
sometimes we borrow
another round before the station
meeting as we pass
sipping a tall glass
of suffering and jubilation
So on I’ll drive
in a 69’ Ford Econoline
to feel the stars
shining through the forest
while these boulevards
will branch on out into quiet towns
where sounds subside
the crowds divide
to lead tonight into the morrow
some may follow and some they stay
we pay our way
sometimes we borrow
another ticket for the station
meeting as we pass
barely time to tip our hats
the train keeps rolling down the tracks
Maybe love all the world should listen what your saying
hear in their hearts, here in their soul
maybe this time your light is all I require
o, mama
o, papa
revolution, the presence passed and turning for the future
spinning ever close to you
In a lakeside reflection
I’m walking beside you, yea
with your eyes to the wasteland
rising behind you there
Autumn whirlwind girls
rising from the shady gloom of mourning
tis’ the dawning of your golden age
to taste your mysteries you must burn the bridges of your disbelief
to walk upon those salted seas
alleluia
for all time I’ll carry this illusion
o, Maya, o, Maya
In a lakeside reflection
I’m walking beside you, yea
with your eyes to the wasteland
rising behind you there
yea, it’s true, girl
I was restless, too
Frosted hillside
green soaking meadow
winds me down beside the water’s edge
‘twas there that she released her gaze
beyond the morning light
her raging rivers calm
Child of tragedy
majesty of sorrow
no temple or stone shall forsake you now
empress of endless eves
for yesterday’s tomorrows
the deepest kisses from your dripping heart
Opal twilight
misty orchids drowsing
beneath the weight of a fallen sky
her hair is free
her eyes become reflections of the seasons
she’s left behind
Child of tragedy
majesty of sorrow
no temple or stone shall forsake you now
empress of endless eves
for yesterday’s tomorrows
the deepest kisses from your dripping heart
wild infinity
mad passions to enrapture
moistened earth dry leaves embrace your flower
temptress of tameless tears
your darkest dreams have captured
the sun, the moon, the timeless silence of the stars
Gaze awhile into this night
Dream the dream that’s always there
of starlight yonder, moon air
silent as the milk green sea
beneath a drowsy garden stair
gently awakening to her prayer
Alalalalalalalalala
Alalalalalalalalala
Her brilliance guiding rising tides
her distant fires reflecting here
whirlpools of tempest blue reappear
sparkling crash of bursting waves
drowning deep in glitter skies
enchanting night and sea collide
Alalalalalalalalala
Alalalalalalalalala
Bella, I call to you now
your songbirds have come around and gave me wings
Michaela, what flowers shall tomorrow bring
together someday we can chase the sea
Bella, I call to you now
drifting through magic lands of make believe
Michaela, I’d fall from trees like autumn leaves
to rise with your skies on this summer’s eve
I’m saving your love
for another day, another way
Overcast morning breaking
my streams have chased the seas to fields of stone
being our fate’s forsaken
I’m keeping faith in something passing on
Timelessness forshadows
everything the rain drops in
through the clouds
We found our way after we’ve gone
your light is always shining on
Let not the waves
separate us from these days
dream serenade made real
we have felt wings
soaring in a million spaces
rest on the wind with me
sweet melody
between the years it lingers
Sanctuary, lost soul
Here’s where I built my temple
sandshells and pebbles swept off the shore
a tower as tall as heaven
and still the ocean she brings me more
wilderness of windsongs
sounding in mountain storms
to adore
We found our way after we’ve gone
your light is shining on
Ghost of the hours
This here has come to me in a wide awakening dream
and on the eve of my destruction
did I receive my new instructions
they said remain on the scene
forever changing your destination
for you can never be two places at once
In the end all things begin
the riverbanks they have risen
tranquil song carry on filling the air
A saint’s bounty
carry it out with me
stealing lightly through the
this poor man’s treasure
for a shilling more
buys a whiskey at the inn
And when your mind is full
alleviate your soul above the stone
of nature’s gifts it’s the one
yes, love has come and gone
tomorrow’s sun it shall be shining on
be not afraid to end the day
Vanishing nocturne
always through darkness unveils the day
these mournful shades
madness, the heart which dies
childless soul to long to belong
when we’re all here and gone
flowering river, finding your way back on not alone
to the ocean return
sanctified, there’s freedom in wine
for all to share
we send a prayer
to break the bread with those we love
for all we care
where are the gods
who rose from heroes and monsters
aliens, sent from the mountaintops
and far from below
we are the ghosts
casting our hard luck to the stones
lovers find love, archers draw arrows
piercing shadows..
oracle moon
let the cycles resume
for the time beings
My old friend
I believe in your becoming
once again your spirit soars between the gloom
it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
to look behind at everything you are
No matter what the others say these crashing down days
are the embrace of restless dreams come true
and melancholy memories feel suddenly free
as you stay by the fire to play
a melody
and the strings of notes you use
makes it easier to choose
the familiar tunes of hummingbirds and blues
warming up with you
You reap in the evening
what morning has grown
all strung out on the distant shoreline
dark in the soul
you feel the cold caress of madness leading you on
shake me with your bright eyed laughter
I’ll come a long way
for the sun to cast a golden haze
and the moon in silent incantation
all awakens
for two old friends
Steal away, break the day
have faith in your own weight
birds in their bowers stay there
watching and waiting
breathing in, breathing out
inside of that old world
vessels pound on a crystalline shore
their horns resounding
o, yea
I like your young hearts filled with promise
turn around and be gone, arise and shine
tiresome lives, end on this night
bringing tides of joy and light
why you waiting for the riverboat man
he’s gonna take you back as soon as he can
Steal away, break the day
the chains have been let free
billowed sails all are raised in the breeze
faint hills receding
yonder over misty veils of sea
your spirits leading
run away, come what may
cease now your dreaming
free to fly with a tear in your eye
no time to tell me
goodbye, farewell
Twilight hours and your thoughts are all I need now
Waiting for you as your traincar arrives in town
sunlights burning and your wings are yearning to try
Raise from your grave
by the beat of your heart
you shall save me
Child of the moonlight
radiate with your eyes
and you will shine in your darkest hour
We can sail through the cool blue changes of this afternoon
where there’s no future, there’s no failure in our cocoon
so hypnotized by modern life
then there’s the bridge we hadn’t realized
for all this time
Raise from your grave
by the beat of your heart
you just might save me after all
Day into night
with the weight of these words
they release me from the earth
Yea, we’re alive
release the earth from our eyes
to see the stars in the sky
Light shine on the one
we want to give
the world inside a dream
we wish to live
behind the veil of this
disenchanting scene
You gave me something to believe
since the moment you appeared
on the edge of eternity
here I’ll wait with you
Let’s go...
to the blue of your moonlit room now
O, girl, I wish to hold you awhile
Our eyes won’t conceal this
so we let all our feelings be shown
these times they will leave us
for now I must let it be known
You gave me something to believe
since the moment you appeared
on the edge of eternity
Which days remain, love
through our summertime
it’s strange to wish them all goodbye
in the morning clouds are easing
all the way around our mind
The road without you
times were hard to carry on
I want to tell you why, my love
And I will pray with you tonight
should this plane take flight
and fade away into the sights
cast our fortune to the sun
live each moment on the run
Love is for everyone anon
turn it on..
Our hosts been gracious
banquet slakes our thirst
we must have squandered half the day away
late in the evening
rounding moon above
swimming in a pool of stardust
The road without you
for days the rains came down
it was a lonesome sound, my love
But I did break free of that race
and the dreams they chase
in time for every last embrace
Face to face and hand in hand
trace our footsteps in the sand
let’s never let the music end
just let it in
Beside the ocean we will rise
with the waking of the tides
they crash as memories arrive
All along the road you’re gonna find a revolution
spilling it’s way into the streets over again
but your thoughts are on the tops of trees
and the warming of the breeze in the air
unweave you from despair
Keep the light shining till tomorrow
you can make it you don’t need to borrow
some one’s hand
to make a stand
All along the road you’re gonna find a revolution
a kind of retribution for the changes of the past
riding that stallion headlong
you must think it’s built to last
Keep the light shining till tomorrow
you can make it you don’t need to borrow
someone’s hand
to make a stand
the other one is you
the other one is true too..
In the half light clouds the view
shines the only life we knew
should we leave here must we lose
precious moments
close our eyes we'll be removed
from the halls of this ancient tomb
take my hand we'll be there soon
guide us onwards
guide us on...
They found a way
they found a way inside
We'll try to run and hide
Outside the Maze
Revelations of their doom
gravitating towards the moon
what direction to be rescued
what direction do we choose?
They found a way
They found a way inside
We'll try to run and hide
Outside the Maze
Outside the Maze
Outside the Maze
As light reveals what dark conceals
so shall our spirit heal
be brave my love
leave a trace of your love
be brave my love
you’re a child of the sun
wait, don’t stray
won’t you stay with me here
Is there reason to fear the face of the earth?
wait, don’t stray
won’t you stay with me dear
Is there reason to fear the face of the earth?
Space it is made by all that remains
so shall our soul be saved
Be brave, my love
leave a trace of your love
be brave, my love
you’re a child of the sun
wait, don’t stray
won’t you stay with me here
I’m beginning to fear the face of the earth
wait, don’t stray
won’t you stay with me dear
I’m beginning to fear the face of the earth
(instrumental)
Truce
let’s make a truce
we’re on an island
just you and I friend
name
we each have a name
we don’t need a target
better to respect each other’s aim
so you do your thing I’ll do mine
there’s no race to face the end of time
Holy Mother
Sister, Brother
Krishna, Allah
Stranger
do you have the same dream?
changing your scene now
your eyes are green and brown just like the earth
Holy Mother
Sister, Brother
Krishna, Allah
Trust your eyes to see
for no one of us is free
but together we move that stone from an early grave
the zephyr feeds the fire
with the flames of it’s own desire
whenever she disappears the spirits fold their wings
where on this earth can one find peace of mind?
I did not know you before today
but I say
you strike me as someone I’d like to take away
out of this world
where the phoenix has soared through the air
would you ride with me there?
(instrumental)
Just a moment, stay
shall we play another hour
the master and the slave
no danger in the tower
In silence, wake
don’t take your eyes from me
they’re shining on the key
inspiring symphony
Inside the chamber, love
I am not alone
You know I’d walk with you into the sun
so life feels free and easy
Jike time’s just begun
Music fills the soul of everyone
Sweet dreams, my dear
we’ll hear a little while
don’t take away your smile
tomorrow’s another day
Inside the chamber
of my solitude
this guitar can shake away these blues
so life feels free and easy
like time’s just begun
Music fills the soul of everyone
My spirit right beside you
you’re not alone
life feels free and easy in the sun
so life is free and easy
like time’s just begun
Music fill the soul of everyone
Turn left onto 110 West
go round the university steps
Cafe or bistro
either way we’re snow bound
We can’t get out of town
might as well
take a walk
across Central Park
With your snow boots on
it’s damp and dark
I don’ t mind
your hand is in mine..
Stranded at the bus stop
must’ve landed
after fifty blocks
Amsterdam
toward Morningside
we can hide
in each other’s arms
with the music on and on...
in the candlelight
not expired right yet
melting the hours
falls to shadows
on the bedroom walls
before morning finds us
together again
pure heaven
Evening
when I saw you
the first time
7 April
on line
At the Saint Regis Hotel
Hey
Say you will
be my darling
for the spring
Wading through
the neon jade
Saturday
rising with the sundown
I want to tell you
maybe this summer
how much I love you
you make me wonder
about the future
without a world that I once knew
say you will
be my darling
Sunny day
let’s go out and play
Wilson’s here
We’ll take him down
to the park in town
we’ll let him out
Around the pond
we wander stone to stone
along with you
I’m the lucky one
these days grow longer still
we can linger until
twilight calls us...
To West 9th. Street
the restaurant’s Japanese
They serve green tea and beer
A souvenir
or do we take a look
at St. Mark’s books
We just might recognize him on the shelves
That kind of memoir seldom oversells
yellow lights turning
read the sentences
On a central park bench
Bridge
Down off Roebling Street
Stay awake
Eyes they dream
through the seeds of life
on the lower east side
Summer breezes blowing through your hair
Amber and indigo
Below, the wine dark river
sparkling silver tapestry
Electric cars
round the drive like stars
Speed of sound
We don’t have far
Home to Morningside.
Why not stretch our bones awhile
In the gentle rain
City lights are glowing through your hair
Amber and indigo
strolling alone just you and me
through all the old familiar streets
Never late
party on the rooftop
fire escape
careful looking down
City lights
flicker in the back drop
by this way
for another round
and the sound
of the traffic drowning the piano
while the conversation rises with a laugh
That woman there
I swear that she is staring
at you man
go on have a care
lesson free
especially talking with
uncertainty
when you’re looking down
on the townspeople
just going on about their business
to you Professor this must seem very dull
Moon is full
out on the horizon
waiting there
so I can ring her door
down the stair
floating toward the turnstile
after all she’s the only girl for me.
From the street I’m still hearing Steven’s piano
all the way up Columbus Avenue
Hsia-Fei
Hsia-Fei Chang
I see you face
on the lane
in the rain
Hsia-Fei
Hsia-Fei Chang
I see your face
on the lane
in the rain
Behind the chair
on the floor
once the words
he meant for love
Now they’re framed
above the bar
remain the words
unsent to her
Ling-Ji Hon
Ling-Ji Hon
I wandered on
before the storm
It was not warm
Behind the chair
upon the floor
once the words
he meant for love
Now they’re framed
above the bar
remain the words
unsent to her
(instrumental)
Can I be a bookmark on your shelve
open a page to smile at me
the softest pillow on your couch
to lay your head down
can you hear my laughter in the wind
outside of your apartment walls
if you like I’ll climb on in
to the wine of your thoughts
You see I’m not afraid to dream
sometimes great and sometimes small
in these clouds above the sea
are wings of the sky
like to be a memory o so rare
familiar while you wake
shining moonlight on your stair
before your sunny day
In this life I’ve always been
keepsake whispers in a song
in my time I’ve not yet seen
one to love as dear as you
Up stone steps
through glass doors
marble aisles
pay your dime
hallowed halls
unholy wars
master’s mind
still alive
for you to see life through his eye..
From his atelier
where he threw himself away
to be preserved in a museum
In his atelier
Such a pleasant day
for the presentation
time allows
Abstractions of
impressions of
reenactments of
selections of
imaginary words intact
In his atelier
such a pleasant day
to be received posthumously
From his atelier
where he threw himself away
to be preserved in a museum
Light is real mood is blue
I can almost feel
this is where he stood
(instrumental)
Dawn
arising with night’s caress
this sacred grace
only a soul can touch
and lover’s taste
they’re free at last
With eyes
bathing in mystery
cathedral chimes
surprising the passersby
beneath the rain
they drift away
to remain dry
At the Cafe
corner table with one view
three croissant and coffee two
for the weekend day
This never ending
conversation growing roots
students hunched in study groups
too tight to move
At the Cafe
now the light is shining through
on the pages old and new
find a word that’s true
Columbian coffees
are the pastries Viennese?
the waitresses’ Hungarian
and the owner’s Greek
Friend
you’re still my friend
sometimes life gets tricky you know that
depends
on where you’re at
it’s sad
Ive lost so many friends I had
in youth
and with age
you know..
the more I say might make you stay
(instrumental)
There you are
on the golden wooden floor
in silent turbulence
let’s get some air
want to take a ride in the car?
alright I’ll close your door
Time alone
blame it on the hour
he’s found no friend to play
Hey Martin
don’t you lie
hiding in your bed
with a migraine head
Let it flow right through you
don’t be so afraid
by all of the sorrow
only humans made
From his dreams
drawn from imagination
don’t know what he sees
some would say
drag him through the city streets
might give him inspiration
Hey Martin
have you found a world
greater than the wonder
of the day before?
Are you drawing a mountain
or an alien
crayon the boy’s face
shining in the sun
And you may find me any day
at any hour
sidewalk
pavement
alleyway
inside the maze
beneath the towers
should you see me
Out on the Town
I’ll be around
alone
or with all you people
just heading out
this is your home
city’s changed
and grown up with you
May I call on you this evening
after Museum
maybe strolling through the Park
after dark
and then Cafe
should you see me
Out on the Town
I’ll be around
alone
or with all you people
just hanging out
this is your home
city’s changed and grown right with you
World is different at night
people tucked tight between their apartment walls
constant drawl of television set
level the balance of contrast and content
traffic drone blown beside the bedside
groans to drift out of sight
The world is different at night
ever present edifice
your sediments shifting
dust uplifting in a phantom seance
lifting the veil to see
suspicious being driven by lamplight
slides inside an ancient phone booth
his youth preserved in glass
outlasting the dangers
the dangers have passed
it’s a world of muted fragments
overused and stagnant
amusing memories harmonized with melody
suffused to become the music of now
pot holed road
smoke unravels
trumped up towers
soles munching gravel
thump of parking meter clicks
a vacant bus drifts
roaming after hours
cobblestones
bottle thrown from a rooftop
don’t even stop
the world is different at night
Park bench discovery
crickets resound this dark dense reverie
from the wilderness flickers the monolithic
metallic skyline trajectory
a futurist projection against the atmosphere
vaporous air
coffee and a bagel in a brown paper bag
nicotine drag
cigarette split.. shit
alone no more
there’s raccoon ravishing a garbage can
there’s turtle on a rock
hovering over a pond
with claws and eyes like mine
each wondering what we’ll find
and by chance finds us
hitting the slabs yellow cabs
ambulance bellowing sirens
awakens the silence
(instrumental)
In the misty morning rain
I am tired once again
is this the same
or has it changed
what happened to the sunny weather
early morning sea
sorry that I won’t be free
to sense the waves
their fragrance makes
it’s way up to my windowpanes
Some can soar into the maelstrom of the air
I do not dare
i’m rather high
inside the mind is where I spend my time
On all the wasted words that we
should have taken to our heart
but the times keep passing on
through the years
and the wicked lies
through the tears
O love shining on
don’t wait to sail another day
Faith, call it true love
this night I want to break
why do they keep me on...
Healing dawn
sorry I can’t leave alone
I must transcribe
a lullaby
the muse she grants my feelings..
to light the morning sage
fragrant in the atmosphere
If life is dear
and kept in peace
then the spirits will release
All the wasted words that we
should have taken to our heart
but the days keep passing on..
through the moonlight
through the pain
through the healing
and the shame
through the warning
and the war
through the mourning...
Don’t let them treat you as if you’re wrong
better to realize that time is your own
lies are their way to keep you worried
night after night tossing and turning
I can hear you cry
sighing to the boredom
flee it if you want to fly
feel it and the spirit dies
Given all you were
are you satisfied
being all that you are..
you satisfied?
while they steal away
hide you from the other side
you will never know
Time is Yours to Own
Dream about the years gone by
through the undertaker’s eyes
and find the meaning through the tears and all the pain
while true freedom
waits on the other side
see it through a shaft of light
on the way to love
through the skyline
through the weight of love
through the ways of love
Seems like the war got older
for many a peaceful sword
once the path is forged through sorrow
violence of the world
no matter who is harmed
affects the karma of each one of us
Drones reduce our homes
to broken stones and bones
there’s just some concepts I won’t understand
Write down the words you like to tell me
everything will be all right
express emotions of your mind
And if the heavens still exist
above our eyes to our surprise
We’re free at last
to share this sentiment
And if the heavens still exist
above our eyes to our surprise
express emotions towards the lighter side
Write down the words you like to tell me
everything will be all right
We’re free at last to share this sentiment
And if the heavens still exist
above our eyes to our surprise
express emotions of your mind
Write down the words you like to tell me
everything will be all right
We’re Free at Last to share this sentiment
Living this way
since the early days
mindless escape
to levitate the chains
thousand highways through time and space
sound in frequencies vie to remain
freedom of Information
taught me to believe
power of manipulation
is to dangerous to perceive
satellite of love streaming above the stratosphere
decipher it’s meaning in my ear
Radio
be my friend again
never too late communication
when there’s no static on your station
thousand highways through time and space
sound infrequencies vie to remain
just a Phantom of the Road
when transmission is lost
just a Phantom of the Road
when all transmission is lost
thousand highways through time and space
sounding frequencies vie to remain
just a Phantom of the Road
when transmission is lost
just a Phantom of the Road
when all transmission is lost
Thank You,
All you good people
now get down on the dirt
there’s an eye in the sky
where a silver light shines
through it the sane
try and hide from a widow’s fate
while oceans of doom
shape the new dawn
find out where you are
and all that you were
made you a slaver
to their picture of war
poison tides
green in the moonlight
fear and worry
guiding your way
peace indeed
she walked toward the sun
longed just to warn someone
he was praying there too
she said to you
We
can build a dream on love
cast out the hatred
into the void
Who ll remain alive
alone
not a one but you my lord
no one outruns a Drone
No wish to harm
the ones who destroy
you cannot have change
when all hope is gone
when all this begun
who threw the first stone?
now no one is rich enough
to reverse the gun
Who’ll remain alive
alone
not a one but you my lord
no one out runs a Drone
Sky
have I the right to exist?
to carry his broken bones
out of this ditch
One Love
that was all that we needed
could’ve saved us from
all that we feared
Who’ll remain alive
alone
not a one but you my lord
no one out runs a Drone
no one outruns a Drone
(instrumental)
O, Child
chosen one
here your story’s just begun
walking tall toward the air that you will breathe out there
I fought for all I thought I could
deeds often misunderstood
a sacrifice
worth the price
so you might live and not be
Waylaid by the roadside
with no faith to reach for the other side
with eyes that lost their glory
made blind by the lies of their greed
Sea
you can merge into the sea
below the waves and the rains
can return to her again
escape
preserve your dream of integrity
cleanse their sins with purity
trust in peace
you must believe
that you are free
O, Child
chosen one
history must carry on
walking tall toward the lore of destiny
through guidance of intelligence
you may find the path is met
with simple minds
would not obey
the ones that they left behind
Waylaid by the roadside
no faith to reach for the other side
with eyes that lost their glory
made blind by the lies of their greed
Sea
you can merge into the sea
below the waves and the rains
can return to her again
escape
preserve your dream of integrity
cleanse their sins with purity
trust in peace
you must believe in the Sea
(instrumental)
Your plight, fool that would be king
life won’t be that way
leave all, you're too bright to see
kindly play that game for me
the sun is up again
they won’t be the same my friend
stay lighter than the wind
nothings ever as it seems
You were born in sunlight
let it shine on me
you like shining on the world
you let it shine on everything
So long to the song you sang
there’s never gonna be that space again
the end might be lost for good
was it ever understood?
don’t walk away
from everything you taught to me
don’t fall away
from all that you've been longing for to be
Time won’t wait for mourning
every world is true
there's nothing left to do
but hide away
hide away like you
You were born in sunlight
you let it shine on me
you like shining on the world
you let it shine on everything
All good things to you
dreams that shine on through
all good dreams to you
all your dreams
all your dreams
came true
in an Angel's voice
music from beyond
the river where you let go
take my old hat off
to the tragedies like you
put your record on
to play it through
I put your record on
And played it all
(instrumental)
Have all the golden riffs been worn
I may have nicked this very one
just a reflex of the times when
Life feels good
walking out in through the radio
Playing Lou’s song
people on the streets they know just how to
right you when you’re wrong
We are relating to the sound of
A place way back in distant memory
maybe you heard it as a child of love
the scene we all became a part of
Fade into a village pub
darkness soothes us from the sun
another jukebox afternoon of
space traveling
watching strangers round the corner store
is out of cigarettes
on a paper napkin pen the ink is
running out again
We are relating to the sound of
a place way back in distant memory
you may have heard it as a child of love
the scene we all became a part of
Untitled Sketch
unfinished work in progress
leads you up the stairs
to the railroad flat your rent is due
from the first day till the last
time you heard that tune
It’s time you heard that tune
it’s time you heard that tune
the one that knocked you off your tracks
We are relating to the sound of
a place way back in distant memory
perhaps you heard it as a child of love
the scene we all became a part of
Sneaking through the railway yard
beneath the trestle in the park
we’re done for now if we get caught
don’t lose that pipe weed in the dark
it’s all we got..
headlights in the parking lot
don’t run yet cause it’s not the cops
a boom box and the bag of tapes
we’ll hang here till the Levee Breaks.…
Give me rock and roll religion and I’ll pray
to the Gods of yesterday
Blackberry wine to take us through these summer nights
the power source will blow your mind
Radio Radio
set that dial to beat
time again to wake the dead
travel through the centuries
Crazy Train howling
shaking thru the forest trees
Radio Radio
Echoes through the memories
The light once red is glowing dim
the current station static skips
we all chip in for batteries
take the trip down Shakedown Street
and Terrapin
Give me rock and roll religion and I’ll pray
to the Gods of yesterday
Blackberry wine to take us through these summer nights
the power source will turn you on
Radio Radio
set that dial to beat
time again to wake the dead
travel thru the centuries
Crazy Train howling
shaking through the forest trees
Radio Radio
Echoes through the memories
There’s been a lot of sun
been a lot of rain
don’t know which way to turn
can’t seem to stay in place
so what I’m trying to say is
Change keeps radiating
play your guitar all day
or stare at the walls of space
anything, anything for free
but don’t fight a war with peace
in order to spread your infernal disease
we need a little more restraint please
you’ve gathered enough complaints, dear
to last you another thousand years.
On the evening news
this is the way their story goes
earthquakes, drones, and talent shows
sorry I have to say it
words ought not be of pain
but songs of joy and peace o yea.
It’s not too late
it’s so easy
to omit your mistakes
and say you’re sorry
Wellspring
effervescent ocean
Volcano Artist
waiting for explosion
what a wonderful emotion
reciting your prayers
on soundwaves of devotion
It’s so easy
but you’re a complicated fad
It’s so easy
but you’re a complicated lad
it’s so easy
you’re a complicated gal
it’s so easy
you have to run the show..
Out on the streets I’m walking
land of a thousand choices
may I have a talk with you
while the flowers are a bloom this season
maybe the snow has cleared
there’s still a melancholy feeling in the air
brought to you by voices in despair
On the evening news
this is the way their story goes
earthquakes, drones, and talent shows
sorry I have to say it
words ought not be of pain
but songs of joy and peace o yea.
It’s so easy
but you’re a complicated lad
it’s so easy
but you’re a complicated fad
but it’s so easy
you’re a complicated gal
and it’s so easy
Stay awake now
tired of living life out at sea
try to move yourself
to a place where you can be
shining on the way
you made it all through the day
shining all the way
you made it on through
Here is your last forever
oracle moon sign
in this divine endeavor
feels like the first time
Wake the sundown
cricket sounds they keep the peace
here in Frogtown
home of the tripping tree
motorbike rides the fields
high on a twilight breeze
with no more words to find
and no place left to hide but here
Here Is your last forever
oracle moon sign
in this divine endeavor
feels like the first time
Lurking down the village
past the old Saint Mark’s Hotel
midnight acid rainfall
pissing on the neon hell
dandies in the dive bars
totting up their dollar bills
slopping up the sewage spills
these streets they always gave me thrills
Where you wanna go
Why you wanna make it
How are you gonna stay
When you gonna leave
just a little slow
I never get the joke
don’t want to hear your reason
con some other bloke
What do you wanna know
What are you trying to say
I haven’t got all day
meters running low
Why are you trying to sell
what I don’t wanna buy
I’ve broken all the rules
don’t you even try
I wasn’t born last night
Bedbugs on the subway bench
dead and gone from the human stench
wrench thrown through a window
of a poison plastic mess
I think you got some on your dress
never seen so many cops
strong armed to the teeth
cutting through the sidewalk streets
with electroscopic razor beams
Where you wanna go
Why you wanna make it
How are you gonna stay
When you gonna leave
just a little slow
I never get the joke
don’t want to hear your reason
con some other bloke
What do you wanna know
What are you trying to say
I haven’t got all day
meters running low
Why are you trying to sell
what I don’t wanna buy
I’ve broken all the rules
don’t you even try
I wasn’t born last night
I just wanna tell you
this here’s a stage of historic import
this very stage where we were born
Its the last place on earth where you and I can have a conversation
cause when you have drums like these
and a bass like that
and a crowd that’s pleased
and a beer and a shot
I’ve taken to calling it
The Hollow’s Eve Blues Bash
doesn’t matter if you’re here
as long as you were there
Change the way you think
mind the where you walk
don’t say a thing to make the fakers curse your soul
it’s unconstitutional
I may just dig a hole
I’m working at living
and i’m taking some liberties
keeping it secret till the final masterpiece
wherever the good ones gone
why that’s where I’ll make my home
Mother can’t provide you eternal life
doesn’t mean she can’t do nothing right
show some gratitude before you die
I’d like to make a fair Exchange
withdraw my name from the human race
prayed I’d belong to a Golden Age
O, Lord, I got off at the wrong place
Don’t be persuaded by the glittertube
re created truth and now it’s childproof
don’t go back there again
it’s a sitcom without an end
Mother can’t provide you eternal life
doesn’t mean she can’t do nothing right
show some gratitude before you die
I’d like to make a fair Exchange
withdraw my name from the human race
prayed I’d belong to a Golden Age
O, Lord, I got off at the wrong place
In the days that we're living
they won’t wait to long to depart
we got this one life we were given
just try not to take it too hard
let it free you right now
we were born to lose it
spit out the bitter and sour
no need to chew on it
Blow out the candle
in my Cathedral
Soundpower electric guitar
you really want to
how can you please them?
all you do is pray in the dark
rise above it right now
take the window out
by fate we’re driven to sail
not to fall with the weight of the world
Inside my mind
hear from my heart
Real in the Dark
Real in the Dark
Real in the Dark
May look great but on the inside it’s dying
ain’t no way to hide it right now
don’t you hear them
when they calling
suddenly they here without warning
of the perilous climb
unknown horizons
by fate we’re driven to sail
not to fall with the weight of the world
Inside my mind
hear from my heart
Real in the Dark
Real in the Dark
Real in the Dark
Sacred sounds they relate
by the shapes that are made
rearranged
by the Morning Star
From the pictures of your mind
you’re trying hard not to find
a reason to follow
the muse had taken you by surprise
you’d be telling yourself lies
if you could let it all pass
There’s a dream in the world
it’s roots stay deep in the soil
awake
the magician within
yea you found her again
in your guitar there’s a song
born within
the latent sacrament
now your gaze is afar
you are a face in the fog
incense burns
the Morning Star has gone
In the pictures of your mind
look around what you’ll find
is a reason to follow
the muse she takes you by surprise
change the color of your eyes
so she can shine again
like new
You won’t make it
without some love in your heart
and you can’t fake it
if you ain’t got that little spark
to keep you alight
In the darkest of the darkest night
Lying in the grass
days to pass
with a cloud
so vast and entertaining
ever changing world drift away
I’ll remain
dedicated to you
through and through
I found an inside pocket of my vest
lit my pipe and took a breath
it’s making my day
in the stillness of a summer rain
In Higher Love
we will rise together
all the world is in view
a Moonchild wanders
the stars ease under
the night is alive is in you
If I have to die for Zion
look to the sky I’ll be shining on you
when you go crashing through Nirvanas
Its gonna be my love that shatters your spirits free
Floating and ascending endless hill view reveries
these scenes won’t cease passing through me
spilling too much wine under the vine trees
I feel a bit empty
when I can’t get to you what else can I do
So catch me if you can
now and then
I’ll be buried within
this world wants me under
its a wonder love
you and I can play this children’s game
in the sun or the rain
it’s a spell we’re creating
when we’re spilling from the ancient cup
In Higher Love
we will rise together
all the world is in view
a Moonchild wanders
the stars he’s under
the night is alive is in you
If I have to die for Zion
look to the sky I’ll be shining on you
when you go crashing through Nirvanas
it’s gonna be my love that shatters your spirits free
Will you simulate my love
even though it’s been so long
had the sun on my eyes
spires ascending
towards the light
I met you here
only once before
in a dream I saw
streets without you walking
so I said a prayer
and then you were there
Old inside
this bodies mired
Save me
save me from this birth
Age and vice
the crowd resumes beneath the ruins
shaming and fighting though the rain
I imagine you calling
Come away from there
Come away my dear
Routine Dream
the one I always wanted
to start my day in
Metropolis
change screens
arrange for transportation
any time, anywhere
leaving home
easy you’re younger
all the stars are lines
begin again
won’t you let my spirits fly
high so high
Life has just begun
always something here to miss
Satellite
where thoughts did rise
before they died
Listen
to me
when I talk to you
There is a place yet unsold
where we can go to find peace
Way before the television
we prayed to the stars
sleeping round the temple on the dunes
no machine make noise
no timepiece to obey
Came a long way but we found it
Sailor
you and I on a space ship
we can take it anywhere that we want to
real light
always feels just right
See no
situation out of placement
in our ability to navigate it
it’s all
Organizing out of Chaos
Please estimate your destination
tell them at the moment we don’t have one
all just fascination
until we reach the sun
Hang on, baby, hang on
freedom is instigated
hang on, baby, hang on
to your authorization papers
Remember Harlem, New York City
kissed the moon before ignition
wished the world good luck
Organizing out of Chaos
Last night I thought I saw a space invader
inside our disinfected elevator
hang on
was this Omen of the future ?
hang on, baby, hang on
Shadows on the wall
reflecting the moonbeam
luminate the ivory
I will have a cup of tea
don’t spill it on the keyboard
climb up on the seat
play a song with you
on a Sunday evening
nothing on TV
Won’t you
Tap on my Piano
I pass the time with you
high notes in the air
ringing in my ear
tapping my piano
can they hear the noise in here
Walk Through the City
me by your right side
light has changed
cross the street
Do you remember?
Will you remember where
you first held my hand
there on Times Square
Long Ago
Snow was falling
high above the city walls
Now I can’t stay
can’t stay away from you
O my love
Don’t you go
my love
Chicco Chicco
Young man learns to laugh at death
silent night
holy night
Old man stares upon his watch
patiently for time
Chicco Chicco
Chicco Chicco
Easy going
on your trip
your reading glasses
and attache’
In the northeast we enjoy the season
it’s the beginning cherry blossom days
so there we were promenading the lawn around the pond
sunshower rainbow
put your coat on it’s not summer yet
Remember the Time
we lost our way home
because of the wine
that we lost our way home
nothing but time
to waste a way on
along for the ride
remember the time
Listen
I’m getting hungry let’s go to eat
Listen
I’m getting tired let’s go to sleep
State of the art
surrounded by sound
listen all night
music we made
warm memories
stay in my head
your voice reminds me
of just how much
your love means to me
Remember the time
the look of your eyes
they say as long as you’re here
you shall be the one
Remember the Time
when you drank too much wine
we climbed a mountain of stairs
into thin air
When you hold me in the blue shadows
reflection of curiosity
Blue skin one within
embalmed in careless youth
prolong the answer
eternity is seeking
Your skull
an artifact in my hands
cast in immortal twilight
our incantation speaks real as death
Search each other for new skins of innocence
And Know you’ll never leave
The Blue Shadow of Space
Sound of waves
sky awaken
Here with me
your are my blanket
we need sleep
be so young again
remember colors change
just like my morning mood
I’ve become in love with love
Has to Be with You
Has to be with You
With our spirits weakening
has our marriage lost it’s ring
take good care your broken wing
my love
Oleana
leave me here
in the city
don’t despair
Oleana
no one there
to keep you up at night
How can one life last so long?
with no sleep and coughing blood
so much has already gone from us
Oleana
leave me here
in the city
don’t despair
Oleana
there’s no one there
keep you up at night
with the drizzle of the rain
remember me not in pain
don’t just hide behind those shades all day
kept the house forever clean
now there’s no more energy
try to make something to eat my dear
Haze- nation fall away
Someone said-it won’t be long
Don’t you worry about me
i’ll just watch whats on tv
in the dark without a star above
Oleana
leave me here
in the city
don’t despair
Oleana
there’s no one there
keep you up at night
doctors tell me try to walk
when I take a step I fall
it’s just no use any more my dear
Today the deacon visited
gave me Gods’ own holy bread
prayers he said freshen my memory
days they just fall away
someone said it won’t be long
Oleana
leave me here
in the city
don’t despair
Oleana
there’s no one there
keep you up at night
I tried to tell you
bout the meaning of my life
rhyme to reason
with an organ
and a poem
I adore you
so much more than I can see
like two monkeys in our tree
when you are with me
I’m at peace
Passengers
we’d escape
but there’s no way
out of this grey
one must stay
a Prisoner
of traffic on
the avenue
the detour route
well it won’t go through
settled in these whittling hours
here without your healing powers
hanging on
to your smile on my eyes
Snows a blanket
it’s a very slow day
there’s your guitar tuned to
play our song
from now on
for Passengers
we’d escape
but there’s no way
out of this grey
one must stay
a Prisoner
of traffic on
the avenue
the detour route
well it won’t go through
settled in these whittling hours
here without your healing powers
hanging on
to your smile on my eyes
Misanthrope
life’s crusade
but theres no hope
no alternate
was ever made
for Passengers
dead end streets
vanquished dreams
settled in these whittling hours
here without your healing powers
hanging on
to your smile
in my eyes
Time’s caught up with us the truck is here
we always feared this day would come
wish me luck
the fun is finally over
received the envelope
enclosed a note
of perfumed leaves
they help to ease
into the dream that our life used to be
Don’t believe them
Please don’t worry
I’ll be coming home again
In your letter
I hear your voice dear
All these years
and still you care
Spent my birthday
on the desert sand
with both my hands
upon a gun
afraid to turn around
and see someone
at night I hear the sounds
but only your voice calms me down
the silent wind
reminds me of the way love has to end
Don’t believe them
Please don’t worry
I’ll be coming home again
from the ladder
I hear your voice dear
All these years end.
Evening Star,
seeing all from where you are
fragile creature born on this winter lawn
a boy
everlasting joy
Solitude
wide awake
in outer spaces
cloaked in blue
where I can breathe the air
into a distant stare
upon the breeze
above the trees
found a place
sounds of peace
and I just can’t sleep
so I stay and dream
Solitude
Woodlawn fields
headstones mark the time they failed to live
preserve the plain with their fine names
alone descend the hills back home again
Solitude
to meditate the afternoon
have time dictate
another day to burn
while incense fills the urn
with ashen leaves
upon the breeze
I found a place
above the trees
through this odyssey
of eternity
let me be
left in peace
Waken in the morning blue
saddle up
get your motor running smooth
for the long ride awaiting you
This is the day to roll
escaping the static crawl
of taxes, tolls, and congested roads
Hieroglyphics fade away
in the distance
On a lonesome highway out of space
Alienation
Easy Rider go
to a place nobody knows
Take the interstate
outside a town
outside the city
Leaving your world behind
it’s superstitious and sublime
but if you stick around how can the lost be found
so fill up the tank
what’s left in the bank it’s not salvation
lest you can leave the station with your peace of mind
Elation of the soul
your manifesto
Uplift the greatest fear
let the engines take you there
Easy Rider go
to a place nobody knows
Take the interstate
outside a town
outside the city
They’re coming for your vote
gunning for a united nation
declaration made
human rights are taken
war against the brain
of the individual
who called and no one came
solely indivisible
and why is your mind
so tender inside
given a chance you’d make it
I guess you thought
you had a bit more heart
You were clearly mistaken
Do you know
we’re all here to go
in one row
the catastrophic goal
only your hate can wage this war
redraw the plan to break it
gave you poison on the road to ruin
now your love’s forsaken
words writ on my crypt
secretive inscription
Illegally dead
cremated
while sleeping...
O why was my mind
so tender inside
given a chance I’d make it
I guess I thought
I had a bit more heart
I was clearly mistaken....
Do you know
we’re all here to go
in one row
the catastrophic goal
only your hate can wage this war
redraw the plan to break it
gave me poison on the road to ruin
now our love’s forsaken
Wade into the shadow
to escape the sun
whichever way the wind blows
you’ve got to hit the road
break from the crowd
fear spells trouble
old enough to know
you’ve got to carry on
In the land of milk and honey
taken more than I can give
there’s your hand reaching out again
With the brand of god and money
preach more than I can stand
there’s your hand reaching up again
(While we)
Fade
out toward a plastic shore
trashed beneath the waves
of this anthropomorphic age
Fade
out toward a plastic shore
trashed beneath the waves
of this anthropomorphic age
Why divide if not to conquer
to steal your very soul
create a queen and a monster
an imaginary war
then hide behind the law
who no one saw
commit the perfect crime
while you’re waiting in line
In the land of milk and honey
taken more than I can give
there’s your hand reaching out again
With the brand of god and money
preach more than I can stand
there’s your hand reaching up again
guide your soul
through all the grave sights below your eyes
rise a sermon to the dead
there isn’t time to hide or fear their scent
Say that I’m the one that you want
Why you say it Why you say it ?
Say that I’m the one that you need
Why you say it Why you say it ?
Rise and climb
be aware
of all the traps set to snare your mind
rely on instinct you’ll be right
fight against them
you will stay your life
Say that I’m the one that you want
Why you say it Why you say it ?
Say that I’m the one that you need
Why you say it Why you say it ?
All alone
on a burnt out balcony
Soul to keep and I won’t leave it
Mindless knaves
arrows doused in flames
Castle breached
as if by treason
Try to break
the future of my fate
out of phase with your own reason to hate
O Look what we had going
such a simple life now we can’t make it no more
O look what we had going
such a simple life now we can’t make it no more
Now it’s time
to face the music of the day
cacophony devoid of meaning
beat the drum with stones
until your kingdom comes
to the ones who dare their freedom
O Look what we had going
such a simple life now we can’t make it no more
O look what we had going
such a simple life now we can’t make it no more
If I could take this breath
out in the world tonight
I would say my last goodbye
to all this brazen laughter
there comes tomorrow’s sign
herein all the world a lie
ordinary people
keep pace their own delight
all those mansions in the sky
troubled were my thoughts
so shattered and distraught
caught between the darkened light
never felt so far
stars aligned and fell apart
into fragments over time
I was only searching
a question in my mind
I find the answer in your eyes
This was a real life reckoning
born from a sacrifice
I Find the Answer in Your Eyes
I was always searching
questions within my mind
I find the answer in your eyes
This was a real life reckoning
born from a sacrifice
I Find the Answer in Your Eyes
Robot, take me home
Yo, I know you don’t know it
I’m not a stowaway anymore
Robot, blast us out in space
program for escape
From the Embryonic Plague
Robot, turn on the radio
Research for yourself
I don’t need any help
Night Driving Home
Altitude in any kind of weather
Latitude as long as we’re together
Synchronizing past with the future
Night Driving Home
Altitude in any kind of weather
Latitude as long as we’re in heaven
Synchronize paths for the future
Night Driving Home
Now entering the Cinemat
Cinematic animation for automatic imagination
Regard sun signs speak through screens light up leaden mind
Dispossess all previous stimulants simulation will proceed on schedule
Stone submerged in cosmos searching for moving object
Seek to redefine the complexity of space materialism
A grave and dangerous urge
to purge the old system of atonement
So a new Life form may grow in boundless gravity
No Enemy
Part Human Part Divine
Not all will agree
The anti sentimentalism of system analyst
whose dialogue destroys inessential art of poetry
surgically reducing excess of cognition
in order to increase write speed of mental ignition
Recognizing utopia for simplicity
where distractions reduced from visual mind into space time
The breakdown of imagination and individuality
Astronaut share breathing tube with universal machine
quietest kind of quiet Somatos
exists even without existence
difficult part of human conditioning
You are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Between the stars there’s only darkness
Reminder forget the past
Disengage us from the system
We must find a place to land
Out of fuel retool the mission
Running low on battery
Lost contact with the federation
Robot, it’s just you and me
Powers dead, our floating capsule
Derelict in silent space
No horizon draws us toward the distance
Infinite eternal grace
There was no measure of the future
Reminding to forget the past
From the blackboard to the video screen
Virtual is not real
Have you got some water there?
Some drips to spare?
Shower the Frogs with Love
Hear them from the mountaintops
Creeping through the fog
Shower the Frogs with Love
On a Sunday afternoon
Gentlemen would croon
Have their wine and play their tune
Although the altar’s bare
The sacrament was there
To Shower the Frogs with Love
In the budding grove
Eyes to the Sun
It’s overgrown
What the beat has just become
Sounds like it does
To Shower the Frogs with Love
How were they to know
If the notes they gave were wrong
Shower the Frogs with Love
All the Roads may lead to no where
All of the Roads they lead to nowhere
All our Roads they lead to nowhere
All our Rogues they need to know this
Alien to the Wind
Alien to the Wind
Alien to the Windsoar Chain
Basking in true adolescence
Still they asking for transcendence
Fine tuning essential essence
High on what the mind suppresses
Configure a master failure
Cure for dread is constant laughter
What you need is what your after
Suddenly you face disaster
Whenever I light a candle
To keep the Ghost from the castle
Shackles bang upon the window
Shadows hanging from the rafter
Although he was just a drifter
Trust no one to lift a finger
Hung in pubic for sedition
Judgement from a politician
ALIEN
O,O,O
Alien to the Wind
Alien to the Wind
Alien to the Windsoar Chain
Now we seen it’s gone to far
We were read it by the star
You’ll be on your way
Blown out the dome
By a megaton drone
You’ll Like It anyway
they drop the bomb
right here on the dome
Crater in the place
once was your space
say it don’t belong
They don’t care
whose side your on
they know it turns you on
Steal the energy
its gonna set you free
Everything you fear they done
You’ll like it anyway
they drop the bomb
Obliterate your son
Crater in the place
once was your face
One nation underground
They don’t care
which side is where
they know that it turns you on
Steal the energy
Its gonna set you free
Or Everything thats here is gone
You’ll like it anyway
they drop the bomb
right here on your lawn
Crater in the space
once was your place
Obliterate the dome
They don’t care
which side is where
they know that it turns you on
to steal the energy
That once set you free
Till everything that’s dear is gone
You’ll like it anywhere
they drop the bomb
right here on the dome
Crater in the place
that once was your face
They say it don’t belong
They don’t care
which side is where
They know how to turn you on
So steal the energy
that once set you free
or everything that’s here is gone
You’ll like it anywhere
they drop the bomb
Obliterate your sun
Crater in the space
that once was your place
They say it don’t belong
They don’t care
which flag you wear
as long as it turns them on
So steal the energy
that once set you free
Cause everything you fear they done, son
You like it anyway
You’ll like it anyway
You’ll like it anyway...
So, navigating for escape
You will cradle me away
Past the binding ray of sun
Past the blind range of their gun
Obsolescence was the key
Gliding past the radar screen
Rocket shift to laser speed
Trajectory
Before
I clear my memory of Earth
Might’ve stayed there far too long
Realize the vital signs were almost gone
I been waiting for you
Here on New 9
I been waiting for you
Here on New 9
I been waiting for you
Here on New 9
Space to create a new frontier
From the sentient atmosphere
With no ancient history
And no artist colony
I‘ve waited all my life
For a place just like New 9
Where my parallel’s refine his cells for simulation
I been waiting for you
Here on New 9
I been waiting for you
Here on New 9
I been waiting for you
The lights are low, hard to see,
The Modulation of the form that shall be me.
You say you’re from a world
where all the girls wear gifts
of golden sapphire rings
A distant bell of some original earthbound galaxy
upheld in ancient gravity weaving trails to trace
the simulations of their round and round uniquely ground atmosphere
Yea, Yea, it’s quite amazing, dear, you made it way out here
I’ve never dreamed I’d seen a human being so real
Beneath the stars the conscious world sleeps so now we are one
The universal sign for love is be in love
When no light shines the surface grays
I’d seen your eyes from outer space
I’ve found a heart in the wreckage of the biosphere
We can ride during the eventide
And watch the silence break
Set fire upon the cosmic laws of the great iconic lake
I know, it’s several light years on
the suns still come to soon
It’s true, when I’m alone again
I shall think of you, my friend
Beneath the stars the conscious world sleeps so now we are one
The universal sign for love is be in love
When no light shines the surface grays
I’d seen your eyes from outer space
I’ve found a heart in the wreckage of the biosphere
Out of space the web is gone
Voices of the memory playing on
Symphony now blips and beeps
Synchronicity with the machine
If Life’s so dear
And the frontier wide
Why not go outside?
Separate from the loves you hate
Detach your self from the Empire State
Life is clear In the exterior
A space awaits where only you can find
You and your somatic mind
Flying high against the waves
You and your somatic mind
Flying the high against the waves
Sometimes they drop and crash
Nothing worth a gasp
When you roll up on the shore
Now you can’t get it back no more
You can’t get it back
And you’re Earthbound.
High above
Soft and low
Forbidden to go closer
Descending from
A wicked world
Ruined in a race with time
The shades are drawn
The mountains gone
On this lazy afternoon
And the chamber door
Is open now
For failing eyes to find out...
O Child
Displaced beneath the shrouded
Window frames
A landscaped maze
Places you had founded
All the hours
Confiscated
Made into the one
Photograph
Antiquated
Faded as the sun
Close you’re tired eyes, baby
Life could bring you some fortitude
All the worries we leave them too
Shine this very day
Bring it through to the other side
I can still see you from far away
So the sundown brought the autumn moon
For the creatures roaming on the earth
You can watch them guided by their doom
While the shadows hide their love in bloom
For-ever ever and ever
Might seem they’re not alone
All forgotten when they were born
Hey Its a Lonely World
When the Satellite has gone down
Hey its a Lonely World
When the Satellite has gone down
Sights pass through your eyes
Eyes that can see so far ahead
The finest moments stay infinite
Hold just a little while
Hold just a little while longer there
Hold for just a little while longer now..
Hey its a Lonely World
When the Satellite has gone down
Hey its a lonely world
When the satellites gone down
Where would you like to go?
Try and go there now
What would you like to do
Beside wasting time
This mood looks blue on you
It’s made of perfect wu
This wool looks true on you
It’s made a Perfect fool
Pixilated colors
Amalgamating others
distant community
instant immunity
All around the world is yawning
All around the words are boring
one universal sin
Draining all those thoughts you think
Virus and Vaccine
They can cure everything
Under the Quarantine
Under the Quarantine
Little Boy
Girl
We come
To the world
Fight or die
Slave to be strong
Or weaker
Weaker than
Than a slug
All you want to do is Hate me
All you want to do is Hate me
Hero you must comply
Devil you must defy
Boy
Little girl
We are all children in this world
its so hard to be kind
So and go on and kill me
If you need it so bad
All you want to do is me
All you want to do is me
All you want to do is me
All you want to do is me
Do you want to dance
Or do you want to take the stand
The only thing’s that’s rights
Are any riots you defend
Time strikes again
So take your flight
To cure the disease
Disunity
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
Force yourself away
from the things that stop being love
know what I’d like to say
to all beings great and small
A simple song you knew
Let the dream pass through
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
Liquid Liquid Lobotomy
I send my love to you
already know it
though we live in separate rooms
I’ll be your poet
little light on food
Legumes sustain me
We can always barbecue
When this is over
From a phone
into your home
I spend my time
Recreating
The Supermundane
The Supermundane
The Supramundane
The Supermundane
The Supermundane
Is it time to alleviate?
Recreate unsuffering
Going back to feeling great
For old time’s sake
From a phone
Into your home
I spend my time
Recreating
The Supermundane
The Supermundane
The Supramundane
The Supermundane
Cruising past the empty streets
In the dark of night
Haven’t seen a face in weeks
They just watch tv and hide
Inside the glow
That’s the glow of fear
Your world of dreams
makes them disappear
Find comfort in the plot surreal
But Your quarantine is real
Find comfort yea the plot’s surreal
Yea that’s the quarantine
it’s meant to steal away
While the rules have changed
A broken game
self righteous play
They provide security
For the weak at heart
They provide security
For those dearly departed
Seventeen trillion years
It’s been the same
That’s a long time to be apart
For Such a long time
Such a long time to be away
Such a very long time
Mind if I stop by
Wanna see my baby
Wanna see my babe
Coronavirus Baby
Let the sun shine through
Coronavirus Baby
See the sun in through the sky
Coronavirus baby
Take your first step outside
One is vanity
Two duality
Three brings on the action
Four the seasons
Five elements
ground the world
Six parts to the body
Seven if you’re lucky
Symbol of heaven
Number Eight is divine
Nine is the end
The end of all time
Before ten
Begins
Again
In Life we play a game
Look for one to blame
Two wrongs don’t make a right
And three gives birth to ten
Gonna wake this town
Raise right up off the ground
Gonna wake this town
Build it up to burn it down
Until all the lonely creatures have been turned
Around the face to the one
>In Life we play a game
Look for one to blame
Two wrongs don’t make a right
And three gives birth to ten
There’s a sign
Of your wonder
Sought in a dream
Cast away
>Until fortune has been revealed
In a face you’ll never see
You are the flower
in the spring garden
Try hard
For a happy life
You were born
With a humble charm
A simple faith
Cannot be undone
But it is fate
leads the way
You are the flower
in the spring garden
Try hard for a happy life
Small Wishes really do come true
When the world was made
Retaliation
Embryonic Plague
When the planet’s full
Overpopulation
Embryonic plague
Feel the earth quake
With the weight of footsteps
Embryonic Plague
The sun ablaze
Above the cities
Embryonic plague
The moon is jade
Mountain mazes
Embryonic plague
No space remains
Mindless faces
Embryonic Plague
Poison drained
The snake is eaten
Embryonic plague
God is raised
Feeling no pain
Embryonic plague
embryonic plague
Everything turns Square
everything turns square
When you’re an intergalactic government heir
I guess everything turns square
everything turns square
When you’re an intergalactic government heir
The devil will guide the saint
Forever they’ll guard the safe
Before they realize
there was nothing there but hot air
Surrounded by Air

did the devil devise the saint
Did the devil divide the saint
If they recognize you’re not marching in their parade
They’ll set the record straight
Give us something real to believe

That’s not missing a crucial notable frequency

Had a rough day
Baking in the sun lit summer
should of run away
flown around the world
well went dry
couldn’t get a drop of water
swallowing flies
In a field with no shelter
Rum and Coke Rum and Coke rum and coke waiting
Cube of ice floating in a frozen glass
Got my place in the shade at the cantina
Here it comes make it strong do it again
Bring another lime
Where are those chips and salsas
Festival lights
No thoughts of tomorrow
future looks bright
So glad the day is over
What a beautiful night
Drown out my sorrows
Rum and Coke Rum and Coke rum and coke waiting
Cube of ice floating in a frozen glass
Got my place in the shade at the cantina
Here it comes make it strong do it again

I been searching for an audio part
Been around to the rusty old junk yard
All I found was a burnt out diode
hitched a ride to the dub shack down the road
Transfixing day and night just the way I love
Transmission day and night just the way I love
I Need an Auto Part
I need an Auto Part
Welcome friends to the underground radio
We can send a motor there to pick you up
You can crash(cymbal)in the drum n bass train outback
The kids can come when they grow their brain back
I Need an Auto Part
Move along
Move along
Move along again
Saying all

Synch it up
Recycled junk
It can’t be fun
To feel the hate
The TV made
For you today
Between your ears
No fears
Scream in pink and gold and brown
Divine parade
The world is safe for now
Rain is all we need
wash away the seeds we’d sown
Let’s see these rays of life
Shining on the fields we roam
You’ll change
The world this time
Its a a sign
From Tomorrow’s Rainbow
little rain is all we need
Wash away the tears we bleed
Let’s see these rays of life
Shining on the wheels we ride
Home Life
The place where we are found
Alone, a wife
A husband and a town
A book, a band,
A feline or a hound
Its Home
The world
The world is safe for now..
Such.. a happy time
A garden to tend
A bottle of wine
A love to care for..
Rain is all we need
wash away the seeds we’d sown
Let’s see these rays of life
Shining on the fields we roam
Home Life
The place where we are found
Alone, a wife
A husband and a town
A book, a band,
A feline or a hound
Its Home
The world
The world is safe for now..
Inheriting the world they made
Inherently discover pain
No reason we should suffocate
Or swallow someone else’s hate of another
Living in the world
Why do we discriminate?
Living in the world today
Why can’t we make peace with each other

Surviving on the earth today
There’s more than enough to worry about now
Don’t need an enemy
One deed is just as brave as the next one
OOO
Manamaste
Are You (OOO)
Manamaste
The politics of race and greed
Have nothing to do with spiritual healing
Distance yourself from rage
The instant you feel you’re falling from grace
Smile at the face
laughter of the child at play
The old haven’t much to go
And the young will be meant to suffer their passing
It’s the way of the world
The weight of the earth today
We can pass through unscathed
In better shape reset for the next one
OOO

Auditorium grade six symphonic band
Warming up the instruments to fill the air again
Let’s take a toy train all the way to Mount Fuji
Dreaming all the sights that it might’ve been
From the near east we can take in all it’s beauty
It’s not so far away when you imagine it
Show me sights I never thought could be made real
Guide my mind to formulations left untaught in school
Let’s take a toy train all the way to Mount Fuji
Speeding down the tracks with it’s plastic wheels
With your eyes closed you can be upon the mountain
High above the clouds peak as white as snow
Show me sights I never thought could be made real
Guide my mind to formulations left untaught in school
lets take a toy train all the way to mount fuji
Dreaming all the sights that it might’ve been
from the near east we can take in all its beauty
It’s not so far away when you imagine it
I was glad to hear you play
your instrument today
you give it all
all it takes to go deeper
Only in the act of play
Shall the child return
to the parent of hope and wonder
Warm it up
warm it up
After all it won’t be so long
Keep the fire going strong
feel all your strength return
Close to your heart
Who’ll embrace the trust you’ve earned
Who’ll enhance your love
Your place is here on earth
Now’s our chance to burn
Warm It up
Warm it up
You inspire me again
Just like the very first time we met
Phantom storms
form a cloud around your head
You wonder what’s the cause of this
Purged the essence from your bliss
Was it a lesson or a blessing or a curse or
worse
with a shrug
You brave the winds
To bathe in the rain instead
After all
it won’t be so long
Keep the fire going strong
feel all your strength return
Close to your heart
Who’ll embrace the trust you’ve learned
Who’ll enhance your love
Your place is here on earth
Now’s our chance to burn
Warm It up
Warm it up
Around the home we roam alone
through the window see what we are shown
Golden sun
shining down
on our longing soul
All we need is Summerlove
All we need is Summerlove
right now
Our heaven is a night flight through the stars
You and I are drawn right to it
Baby, all we need is a Summerlove
Waiting for her
the cold shall disappear
dreaming of her
her warmth is in the air
breeding new life
for all of us to share
go find your true love
Golden Sun
shining down
our longing soul
Sine form wanes
out of phase
through the ether
into my dream
I’ll let go
of all I know
all I ask for
its in the sun
real love stays
death awaits
hibernating
behind the moon
dissipates
disintegrates
desire draining
after all
Sun Lit World
wait for her
Sun Lit World
Sign of God
when all’s in time
after awhile
Sunlit World
see you smile
O, we were so in love
you turned me into a ghost
O, from a moonlit sea
shadows center on the earth
O it’s all sublime
How could I leave her this way?
Silent warning
cathedral bells have wrung
faces turning
Spring to Autumn
All you ever see is madness
All you ever dream is gladness
Threadbare waistcoat
shoes have no hide
hair’s grown so long
the heart’s still wild
When all you ever see is madness
And all you ever dream is gladness
Such a simple way
just Return Your Love
such a simple way
just Return Your Love
Hey Love
here you are
you got
so much to give
everything’s alright
everything’s alright now
So go on
stay the course
get lost
no where to live
does it really matter
is it any better now
Been so long
since we gone away
some place to be
travel isn’t easy
it doesn’t mean we can’t be free
Space inside our head
tells me we’re not dead
rock it to the sky
all night all right
ride into the storm
dying wings reborn
rock it thru the stars
all night all right
You and I we can do better
say goodbye to those who’d bring you down
on this flight we have been chosen
by a world that welcomes us to go
Young man
Do all the things that you want to do
wish I could do some of them with you
go easy now
and remember
higher than the world would ever be
we rode through mountain stars and dreamed
from your car
Son
I’ll be here
here to guide you on
through the signs
of confusion
Once
there was time
release our tears to cry
and not so far away
there’s no illusions babe
Old man
Do all the things that you think you can
wish I could do some of them again
go easy now
well you waited
through the darkest hours of the night
when I was lost well beyond your sight
you still stayed
Son
I’ll be here
here to guide you on
through the signs
of confusion
Once
there was a time
you released your tears to cry
from not so far away
there no illusions babe
this world it hasn’t changed
it’s all still there for you
all on your shoulders
all on your shoulders now
so don’t feel so all alone
tomorrow’s another chance
to leave your sorrows behind
Babe
I’ll be looking after you..
Basking in the molten Sun
sworn to praise It’s Holy Name
awakening
wander past the meadow
hidden side
the mountain cave
wondrous days!
Sunbeam bake the spirit
Moonlight spark the flame
Spellbound in the temple
does not matter you belong
once you bow your head through The Golden Dome
It’s all in the ways you see it
heavy rains are soaking through
surge to cleanse a spirit
all the world’s and not just you
pray to the sacred savior
erase the troubles yonder there
all is fair in love end war
before the storm breaks
from above the ruin
a place of doom
I read my name on the tomb
What to do what to do what to do
it’s already gone
What to toil all the days and nights for
All lost and won
Just saddle up your horse and ride into the Sun
The Sun
well it’s Just a Weapon
Little one playing out in the wreckage
overgrown with memories buried there
in the streets dreams of heaven
wants the lasers to smile down
above the ruins
two stood as one
Skyrocket you made the trip
so take me far from there
forlorn and ragged claws
can’t scratch out another year
As long as the stars are shining
you’ll have no trouble here
Fly me out to eternity
where they’ll never getcha
Hold on now
let me see the end of day
I feel the twilight
calling me away
another hazy afternoon
as I awaken
in a stranger room
I drank the sacred wine
shook me for awhile
of the pipe I did partake
to keep myself awake
breaking highs and lows
what I could not know
Lonesome life just moves along
before I know it will be gone
back to my home
in the darkness
So we ride along
losing out on the thing we once wanted
all I want is you
all I want is you
Her storied leaves
a strife she knows
it’s never easy
to let her go
the dawn it lights her way
I drank the morning wine
it gets me every time
breaking highs and lows
what I could not know
Lost alone
through the wilderness
heart and soul
I found you
to believe
be what we want to be
through the door
truth is known
Odyssey
see what we want to see
through the door
the other side
Life’s for loving
Love’s for carrying on
your life’s for loving
your love to carry on
Carry On
O Babe you’re such a fine one
O Babe you’re such a fine one
it’s gonna take a lotta love to keep you warm
We sail along
dream what tomorrow brings
on the way
find a home
to the north
back to reality
heart and soul
I love you
Theres an unlit soul
going round the world
When I was hungry you
gave me something to eat
sheltered me from the greed
When I was angry you
showed me only love
sentenced down from above
to bring me up ——
It’s time to walk
Through the Light
all alone
into the night
It’s time to walk
Through the Light
all alone
Through the Light
There’s a brand new moon
shining on the road
When all was lost at sea you
made a way home
showed me how to know the world
When I was tired
you gave a place to sleep
praised the words
that brought me Peace
and they brought you Peace
