Busy Day
03:43
|

|
It’s a busy day
Along a busy street
All these people rushing by
Who they all are i’ll never know
And maybe we’re not meant to try
There’s a little boy who’s fallen down
He’s crying out for kingdom come
But his mother’s arms come to save the day
And soon they’re on their way
Through the rain
It’s a busy day
Down this busy street
And a hundred bargains for me to buy
Where i’ll start, i can’t decide
Perhaps a brolly to keep me dry
There’s a pretty girl walking just ahead
She skips along as she sees a friend
And her smiling face shines for all to see
Well i wonder if she’ll notice me
Passing by

Waiting
02:18
|
|||
|
I’m waiting for the sun to rise
To clear my thoughts
To cleanse my eyes
I’m waiting for the day to break
To hear your voice i cannot wait
I’m sneaking out of bedroom door
And down the steps
To garden new
I’m breathing deep the scented air
And picking flowers and sipping dew so clear
For today will be our day
My love
I’m making fast your favourite dish
With whistled tune like birds aloft
I’m writing down my tender words
With joyful pen and eager heart
I’m climbing up the creaky stairs
With flowers bloom and breakfast hot
You see me now and a smile a face
That sets me free in swirling wave so clear
And today is our day
My love.

High Time
02:50
|
|||
|
Hey you, what do you think you’re leaving
What do you think you’re leaving behind
Hey pride, can you feel i’m hurting
Can you see that i’m trying to hide
(chorus)
It’s been a long while since i heard
It’s been a long while since the word
And it’s high time
Hey sun, can you sense that you’re shining
And do you know that the truth lies beyond your light
Hey sea, can you know where you’re drifting
Can you feel that you’re moving away from me
(chorus)

Temptress
03:50
|
|||
|
Sweet temptress; how fine you know you are
They watch you as you parade their love
Like a raven butterfly
Your blush consumes their all consuming eye
How they try
You see them spinning all in front of your eyes
(chorus)
Heh, heh hello
Sweet summertime; sing with breezes divine
It’s always the same
How they dance, how they sway
But the seasons still change
And you’ve watched all those lovers floating by
All your life
Sweet temptress; you sensed your power released
Intrinsic; they soon fell at your feet
Their sweet fantasies
You’ve seen through all their secrets and their lies
Fantasise
You see them spinning right in front of your eyes
(chorus)
And it’s over, you know it’s over
All your life, all your life
They’ll fall so soon.

Deliverance
03:17
|
|||
|
I hear the cry
Distant, but surely my saviour
Yesi hear the cry of things to be
And i can’t deny
I thought it would never be over
I thought that the world had forgotten me
(chorus)
And a fortune won or lost
Its not for me to say
Nor a father’s wish to wed and settle down
But all i have, i’ll give
Yes sweet deliverance
I know that your work will be done
Now comes a light
It’s asking to be at my centre
A glorious light has called on me
And why deny
This moment can live on forever
This moment is shaping my life to be
(chorus)

Alive and Kicking
02:05
|
|||
|
You look so far, so far away
Lost in that private world
Maybe there to stay
Your coffee’s cold, your meal untouched
But who’s to know
You’re where you love
You’re laughing, you’re playing, you’re chasing the rains away
You’re joking, you’re hoping
That your best friend can stay
There’s chocolate on your face
And your mother says that it’s a disgrace
So soon, so soon to dinnertime
It’s nearly gone five

Nature's Song
03:18
|
|||
|
When the flames die down what remains
Small white lies, downcast eyes
With the morning sun, your race is run
Speckled threads still fill your head
In the lingering doubts the beauty fades
The storms roll in; where to begin
When all seems lost, face the cost
You belong with nature’s song
And the notes up high; they’re piercing through
But the song remains; it waits for you
In the quiet times, we’ll hear again
It’s nature’s way in the end.

Lord of all he Surveys
02:40
|
|||
|
He rules like a king; grabs everything
Smiles milky grins. Then he screams his awful din
He eats all your toys, turns up the noise
Worships the new
But you love him because he’s you
Yeah, yeah, yeah and he is invincible
Oh my my that’s quite a mess there
The party’s over; best get undressed
Heh, i’ll run around now as the naked little pest
Yeh, they’ll look and laugh
And daddy, he’ll try his best
Oh little mathew, baby mark and little john
Tiny linda, funny jane and cute evonne
Where are you now, what have you done
Just don’t forget you’re here for fun
Best not forget, your time will come

Blues Lazy
02:27
|
|||
|
Such a lazy time in my life
And in my world
The sun is rising high
But i can’t help myself
I’ve been wild; i’ve been wrong
Mistaken for someone who could not belong
Still face to face with the times
But times have moved on
Wandering with nowhere to go
Daydreams nobody knows
Faces flow through the haze
So easy to soak up the days
Strangers, how can they find
Solace in what’s left behind
Whats left behind
Such a lazy time in my life
Such a lazy time in my life
Such a lazy, lazy, lazy time in my life

Freedom
03:02
|
|||
|
Freedom is a dream i had
It teazed me
To try to understand
So beautiful; we kings, our calls...so helpless
Our golden light, it comes to hide before us
And what secrets we hold
In the great picture shows
of our lives
And try as we might
We can’t realise our own delight
Falling freefall today
Falling freefall today
Sweet dreams they play for us
Entranced; we charm ourselves
Sweet dreams they come to us
beguiled ; we fool ourselves

Heat
03:01
|
|||
|
Summer breeze, what will you bring to me?
Summer night, what will you hide
Summer, summer heat;
What do you know i believe
Oh summer heat, you’re pulsing through me
And the time has come
Gonna throw away the past; it’s begun
My time is here
Gonna shake the shackles free
Now that you’re near
And i can feel my spirit rising now you’re here
Summer breeze

Sphinx
04:05
|
|||
|
And some will rise
And some will fall
Everyday we’re all up in flames
But no ones forsaken
And so to turn our thoughts to summertime
Climb high above soft breezes
With hawk in flight

Waterfall Spell
02:53
|
|||
|
When you were the siren you called to me
You sung my name
And how i came to you
And we were the lovers strong
We craved the light that could not belong
Engulfed by the flame
Victims, the thieves, the fools
Yes we thanked them all
Sometimes i just lay beside you still
And dared to dream all the dreams and the lover’s spells
That would make you become our waterfall
So easy to lose ourselves
So easy to let it fall
But you know, you know, you know that nothing can ever change my love
No, no, no nothing ever changes atall
No nothing ever changes, changes in our waterfall.
