Thin Air
I went down to the sea
Over fields and streams just to find thee
And I saw you there
But when I reached out to touch your hair
You vanished into thin air
I stood On the ridge
Haunted by the image of your voyage
Because I once had you where
I could reach out and stroke your hair
But you were never really there
Because I once had you where
I could reach out and stroke your hair
But you were never really there
Vanished in thin air
Never really there
Vanished in thin air
Never really there
Find Our Way
When I wake up in the morning
In hazy shadows of the day
Your ghost glints out a warning,
“Baby, won’t you help me find my way?”
The tempo of your whispered cello
Mends life’s broken ballet
Your rhythm softly echos,
“Baby, I’ll help you find your way.”
Find your way
Find your way
Find your way
The sweet spell of the evening
Floods my soul where I lay
You find me in my dreaming
And say, “I’m here to help us find our way.”
Find our way
Here to help us find our way
Find our way
Find our way
Here to help us find our way
Why She Goes
She shoves her panties into her purse
And gives me a kiss so unrehearsed
She is the goddess of sweet surprise
as she strips off my disguise
with the gaze of her eyes
and whispers goodbye
I don’t know
Why she goes
Why she goes
This student lingers in her class
With pet provided apples and tacks
She is the angel of the sky
I try to deny
that she is able to fly
even as I cry
I don’t know
Why she goes
Why she goes
Is freedom with or without
the faithful love of the devout?
Is she the heiress
to the gift of Isis?
Her love even mends
as she ascends
I don’t know
Why she goes
Why she goes
Buried Alive
I don’t know where I’ve been
All I know is I won’t go again.
I found a light in my soul
From the plight buried down
Down below
You dug a hole to bury your past
And pushed me in like a leper outcast
And now I’m buried alive
As you opened My heart
I hid pain like an art.
All the Secrets that would tear us apart
And scar love from the start
No matter how deep a hole
You plow on your way to hell below
You’re pride can’t be saved
From your ruthless lies
Meant to enslave
You tried to entomb me in your past
But I escaped before your verdict was cast
Yes, I was buried alive
But, I will survive
The Damage in Your Eyes
I have seen that smile before
As you walked out my door
It haunts me every day
Since he drove you away.
Now you’ve come back to pretend
That you really want to mend
Your touch is hot but your eyes are cold
With secrets left untold.
As you start to reopen
The things that you have broken
You may realize, the damage is in your eyes.
Your lips say you want me back
But I don’t know about that
They taste faint and unclear
And your swallow is full of fear.
The tattoo on the small of your back
Has been inked solid black
To help you forget my name
And bury the pain.
As you start to reopen
The things that you have broken
You may realize, the damage was in your eyes.
As you start to reopen
The things that you have broken
You may realize, the damage is in your eyes.
So rip it up to see
What’s left of me.
Black Car
Black car Tinted windows
Near & far Searching in those
Damn dreams that are
Needing you to consummate this
craved Connection doubtless direction
Like a guiding star.
What do you say we meet some place
How ‘bout a little face to face.
Ooooh your touch
Is a rush.
I dream of you You feel so close
I reach for you More real than most
As I open my eyes
I grasp the empty space
to realize My mind’s chase
Is telling lies
Late at night when I fall to sleep
I hear your voice so deep
Ohhh I pray
For this each day
Hold me, love me
I’m here on my knees begging please.
Say you’re mine
Till the sun does not shine
Till the palms and the reeds
Sway no more by the sea.
Till the waves cease to crash
This is all that I ask.
Love renews all that’s true (repeat)
Don’t deny me, come and find me. I love you
Don’t deny me, come and find me. Let Love rescue (repeat)
Way Out
Way Out Way Out
Way Out yes, there’s a Way Out
You’ve been shouting at the world for far too long
Listen baby we don’t need a bloody revolution
I can show you a much better solution
Theres a Way Out I know a WayOut
you’ve been fighting with this world for far too long
Come on baby we don’t need no United Nations
Our Love is the only vital sanction
On the way out, yes, way out
You’ve been wrestling with this world for far too long
Come on baby run with me
Come on, lets run
Come on baby run with me
Put away your gun
We can write our own constitution
And occupy our paired population
On the way out, we’ve got a way out
We’ve been kicking at this world for far too long
Come on baby run with me
Come on, lets run
Come on baby run with me
Put away your gun
Way Out Way Out
We’ve got a Way Out Way Out
Way Out yes, theres a Way Out
We’ve been fighting with this world for far too long
Always
When I kiss the killing floor
You’re there to pull me out the door.
And in life’s moments of eternal time
You look me right in the eyes.
It’s always, always with you.
Yes, always, always with you.
When they strapped me in the infirmary
You rolled that cot until I was free.
And on the day my ship comes in
You’ll be my soul mate captain.
It’s always, always with you.
Yes, always, always with you.
Yes it’s always, always with you.
Yes, always, always with only you.
And if doubt should cloud what we know is clear
Together we will machete our path without any fear.
It’s always, always with you (repeat)
The Ceremony in Our Eyes
Looking back
The past mirrors a clear path
To further our future bond of love
Reflected in the mystic stars above
A hazed henna storm
Tattoos across your heavenly form
In constellations of the night
Flowing in sultry, liquid light
Face to face
Entranced in our gaze of grace
As we entwine we can’t deny
The divine ceremony in our eyes.
In our Eyes
In our Eyes
In our Eyes
Where Does the Light Go?
Oh so late at night
When my girls are tucked in tight
They ask me; “Daddy
How does the wind blow?
Are the stars God’s halo?
Daddy, I really need to know
Where does the light go?
Is it swallowed down below?”
In the middle of the night
by the glow of their night light
My girls ask me
“Does Heaven have a window
So God can see me below?
Is that His echo
I hear in my pillow?
Daddy, I really need to know
Where does the light go?
Is it swallowed down below?
Where does the light go?
Is it swallowed down below?
Where Does the light go?
Where Does it go?”
(Repeat)
Waiting
Waiting for your love
I am waiting for your love
Can’t you see in the night
What is wrong from what is right?
Living without love
I am living without love
Can’t you see in the light
What is wrong from what is right?
Wasting without love
I am wasting away without love
Why ask forgiveness for being a man
When the god you kneel to
made me what I am?
Yes he made me what I am
Eternity
Surrender with me
To our life’s grand journey
Together we will fall
Into the fated arms of All.
Just like the Lord that sanctifies us
With his decree
Lover help guide me
To our clear destiny
Rapture and Unity
Are in our souls energy
Just like the Lord that sanctifies us
With his decree
We always have been
And always will be
We always have been
And we always will be
Candor and certainty
Are written in our Love story.
Lady we will bravely
And so gently
Turn the pages to Eternity.
