WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE LAND
Take me to that special place, where the sea meets the land I’ll give away everything, and follow you to the end.
Show me where the sea meets the land
These bones of mine have grown old, and can’t move anymore. Take them to that special place, where they can dance again
These ears of mine are full of dirt, and can’t hear anything new Take them to that special place, where they can hear the music
Let this head that has grown full, fall down to the ground In the place where it used to be, let the sea meet the land
IF I HAD A BODY
If I had a body, it would be made of glass, I’d keep it on a shelf, so it wouldn’t get broken
Then one day I’d take it down, and smash it on the ground Because that’s what we do with precious things
Darling of mine, forgive me, when I’m blind
Little by little we let go, of everything we think we know And step by step we let in, the greatest thing
If I had a body, it would be made of air I’d keep it in a balloon, so it wouldn’t disappear Then one day I’d let it go, and watch it fly away
If I had a body, it would be made of light. Each and every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, burning bright
And if I had a body, you’d have one to, otherwise there’d be no one to dance with. And what would be the point with no one to dance with?
LET THIS WIND BLOW
You stole my chair, and gave me this stool
So I cut your hair, and tried to call you the fool
There’s a saying from where I’m from, but it’s never said
How, now, the wind it blows. How, now, we fear to change
But let this wind blow
Because it’s better to know, than just to think so
The sweetest kiss, we ever had, was the one before the first
The sweetest moment, we will ever have, is the one before the last
We like to talk about the things we’ve seen
But every word, changes everything
How, now, the wind it blows. How, now, we fear to change
But let this wind blow
Because it’s better to know, than just to think so Don’t you think so?
I see this wind, and it’s blowing strong
Everything in me want’s to run
But not this time, no. Let this wind blow
Let it blow
FLOWERS
The flowers were in my face, but I did not smell them
The flowers were in my hands, but I did not feel them
Now they’re gone, and I would like they’d return
But in my heart, I know
That in time, I will forget
You left the room, I no longer can see you
The words you spoke, I no longer can hear them
And I would like, you to return
But in my heart, I know
That in time, I will forget
I walked along, with my head in the stars
You surprised me, you gave me a flower I don’t remember the colour or the texture
of those delicate petals But your eyes…
In my heart, I know I will
Not forget
BLACK CAT
Black Cat looking out the window, Watching the wind in the trees
Now you stand by the front door, Because you have the call
But if you go, You may never return
Black Cat take me with you outside
Let’s go
Feel that wind on your fur
Let’s leave this house of rules behind
And like that wind in that fur we are
Black Cat you know, The game to be tame
But in your heart, You know the stars
Now you wait by the front door, because you have the call
If you go, you may never return
NAKED SONG
Off come the socks and shoes, lying next to me like drift-wood from the sea
My new shoes they take on the whole sky the sea the land, won’t you come and join me
I can take my clothes off
You can take your clothes off
We can take our clothes off
I can take your clothes off too
It feels so good to be outside and free, with the sun on every part of me
Won’t you come and join me Won’t you come
Swimming in the sea, suddenly I feel so free
Each wave that comes along and reminds me of how to be free
But after awhile I’m feeling a little cold
Not so bold I’d like to go back
I could dry down
You could dry down
Yes I could dry down
We could go down on each other
NULL
May your sadness, be held in your heart
So the joy feels safe to grow
I remember when we used to talk, but now we sing
I remember when we used to walk, but now we dance
May the joy that will come
Be allowed to go
I remember when we used to plan, but now we dream I remember when we
I remember when we used to fight, but now we love
STONES
Growing up is hard like stone, Growing tall is hard like stone
Loving life is hard like stone, Being loved by life is hard like stone
But stones keep us on the ground
Keep us from floating out Into the universe
I love you hard like stone, and you love me hard like stone
I want to run away so hard like stone, but we love our stones so hard
But stones keep us on the ground
Keep us from floating out Into the universe
Stones on the beach, on the land
At the bottom of the sea
Stones in the galaxy
Stones in you stones in me
They make me, me
MADEA
It’s not the sounds, that should not have been heard
It’s not the sights, that should not have been seen
It’s not what you did, that should not have been done
It’s not that moment, that should not have been
How I wish we could be both awake
To remember what is truly precious
It’s when you look at me, but you do not see me
Only your fantasies
It’s a dream that says, if you’re rid of me
You’ll be a little more free
How I wish we could be both awake
To remember what is truly precious
You could look right through this dream and see me
You could look right through this dream and hug me
TIN SOLDIER
There is no way to undo what has been done
There is no way to unsee what has been seen
I can not unhear the words spoken to me
If I could live my life again…
It would be the same
There is no way to stop the beating of my heart
That so badly wants to change the madness in this world
I cannot escape into the future, nor the past
If I could live my life again…
It would be the same
If I could brush aside time
If I could brush aside everything
That has been taught to me
To be the bounds of my reality
I would do it all the same
FOREVA
I heard, listening to the radio
This victorious human being
She said
That she’d found the power To forgive
What could it be like for all of us
If we could be victorious
I cried Listening to this
Victorious human being
She said
That no more could she
Accept victims in her mirror
Because she’d found that power To forgive
What could it be like for all of us
If we could be victorious
Because the greatest victory
Leaves no one lost
