Can you pick me up?
I'm far from home
Can you give me a ride?
you see, I'm all alone
I need your help
and you're the only one
I need you help, come on baby
I need you to run
Your smile sets it right
Your touch sets me alight
Yeah, turn to me
and burn all night

Reimagined

Another time, another place, another life
A different home, a different face, a different body
A greater joy, a greater pain, a greater sorrow
I'm reimagined
A deeper wound, a deeper scar, a deeper hurt
A tiny measure of the love we share
Another time, another place, another home
I'm reimagined

Precious Little
04:36

There's precious little that leaves me at a loss for words
There's precious little that brings me back to town
But sometimes in the darkest hours
or aided by the mystic powers
I'm back again
faster than the speed of sound
Does the world still make a sound
If there's no one left who's really listening?
Does our love still hold the key
If there's nothing spoken, sung or prayed that we believe?
There's precious little that brings me to my knees
The beauty of the mystery's been reduced to the love of trees
But sometimes on the darkest night
A single star can shine so bright
And I'm back again
faster than the speed of sound
Does the world still make a sound
If there's no one left who's really listening?
Does our love still hold the key
If there's nothing spoken, sung or prayed that we believe?
There's precious little that I love more than you
And if truth be known I know you feel it too
'Cause sometimes when we're all alone
You sing a song that's mine alone
And I'm back again
faster than the speed of sound

The Easy Part
06:07
|
|||
|
We've made it through the year
after shedding many tears
we've fought the battle hard
like playin' with the lowest card
that's the easy part
The children don't see it our way
the world just smiles and we're on our way
we strive to find another path
but it don't add, it's the new math
the children, no longer children
the world, the same world
the smile never left your eyes
my love for you was always there, cause
that's the easy part

Leaving by Rumsaa

I don't forget
the light never left your eyes
I can't forget
every little simple surprise
I'll carry you in my heart
in my mind
I'm leaving
but I'll be back
I'll be back

Writing by Candlelight
04:26

I met a man
I'd never seen, never knew, there was nothing there
He brought me to a place
I'd never seen, never knew, he laid me bare
How was this possible
how could he do this to me me?
what kind of magic
did he bring with him, from the cold, dark sea?
And his story was of me, but not of me
and the hero was no hero, until he came to be
and the love which we all want so, and need so dear
lay hidden in our hearts, a melody too faint to hear
and now it is I writing by candlelight
and chasing the girl who vanishes before my eyes
and now it is I dreaming in darkness
and waiting for the song, the story, to tell my life
drifting on an endless blue
his song is on the wind
drifting on an endless blue
drifting on an endless blue
my soul is looking for a place to land

Winds of Change
04:07
|

|
In the city of Peel there is a castle lying in ruins
I went there to visit with brothers and son
We climbed up a steep hill to look down from above
and tried to envision all that what said, and all that was done
I'll go back to the isle, and I'll stand on that bridge
I'll visit the castle and climb up the hill
and think of the harper who records every line
and yearn for the winds of change that still chill

Falling Asleep
08:04
|

Sun shines brightly upon us all
we're outside the church, greeting your friends
and soon we will say goodbye, if we can
and try to not to think that this is the end
but I can still hear you now, singing your song
the one none of us knew, and never could place
and I wonder from whence, and who comes the melody
and does he now smile down on your face
and what would he say to us, when we go our own ways
when stories and songs are all that remain
out on the breeze, or somewhere between the notes
speak to us now, we're thankful you came
He says,
He's not leaving you now, he's just falling asleep
sit by his side and tell him a tale
He's not leaving you now, your story is still to be made
Don't be afraid, he's there, just turn the page

The Fortieth Leaf

I have not the words to say how deep my thankfulness
I have not the melody to praise you for your deeds
I have not the peace of mind to see you as you are
you are my king, you are my king
I have not the strength to give the lift you gave to me
I have not the harmony to live now by the sea
But what I have is here, is now
To offer up a prayer
God, bless this king
God, bless this king
