Come Into

|
Something in the air
They plow the fields
I watch the way the dark earth is revealed
Something starts to stir within
I am overturned
What's beneath uncovered
So much waiting to be discovered
Scatter the seeds and the bird takes flight ...
Ask a question and you follow it to…
Somewhere beyond the familiar
And wait, wait for something true
And make a place to come into
Placing a stone at the altar of hope
Wondering if there is more than blind faith
If we are made of our very hopes and dreams
If we are truly more than we seem...
Ask the question and you follow it to
Somewhere beyond the familiar
And wait, wait for something true
And make a place to come into
A place for it to come into
In the pregnant pause that you least expect
Make room for not knowing what comes next
Then take a step, take a step
The ground will be there…
Ask the question and you follow it to
Somewhere beyond the familiar
And wait, wait for something new
And make a place to come into
A place for it to come into

Love Lost
05:04
|

Love lost and no direction
Now I'm somewhere on the road between hope and fear
And trust is my intention
But it's a long, long way from here
So I’m studying the lines on your face
Like I don’t know what I’ve lost
All I know is I can’t replace
The feeling of having you here
Just knowing that your love is near
Somehow I have lost
That little hope that led me on
And somehow I have lost
What I wanted to be…
Be my own
Would you be mine?
Now I'm remembering that day when I fell for you
You were the fire and into the flames I flew
What a delight to pursue
That promise that could never come true
You were the one to put them all to shame
Just standing next to you I could go insane
Ooh…if I could harness that flame
Not just the ashes that remain
Somehow I have lost
That fire that led me on
Somehow I have lost
That fire I wanted
To be my own
Would you be mine?
Ah I’m drifting in and out of my dreams
Oh the sweet mirage never what it seems
Long summer days and restless nights
Everything heightened
Wrong can seem so right
I need a love to keep in my sights
I need a love…love
Love is never lost
It is always our own
Love is never lost
It can always be
Be my own,
Would you be mine?
Would you be my own
Rock my soul in the wisdom of the ages

Green

'Green green, it’s green they say
On the far side of the hill'
And I’ve been caught dreaming
Of 'going to where the grass is greener still'
And looking for that feeling*
Cause I’ve been waiting for so long
For love to come through for me
Something to come true for me
And I’ve been singing a mournful song
And stomping around like you know I will be redeemed
My heart’s been trying to get me to sing this song
But I keep changing the station
When I finally stop to listen
It’s sad and it’s so beautiful
It makes me want to sing like my heart is exploding
And I don’t know how to do justice to these things
She said to me if you want to sing just open your throat
And I say, if you want to dance then just let go
Just let go
Everybody’s talking about getting to the other side
Well I want to feel this life coming up from the inside
And just let the green spread all over me
Forget about the other side just come and stand right here
Forget about the other side just come and stand right here
It’s so green

How Do You Know Me?
04:01
|
|||
|
Waking up from a dream
My head starts to spin
I feel you when I breathe out
And when I breathe in
I kiss you and the sun breaks through our lips
Light is pouring in through your fingertips
And I’m swimming in your touch
I want to fly
My feet touch the sky
I’m so high in your embrace
And that look on your face tells me
This is so real I can taste
But it was a dream so…
Tell me, how do you know me?
How do you know me
It’s been so long since I’ve seen the sun
But with you all things are new and I am open
Exploding until the center of my heart is the sun
And your heart is beating out the rhythm that
Takes me deeper within
And I can fly
My feet touch the sky
I’m so high in your embrace
And that look on your face tells me
This is so real I can taste
But it was a dream so…
Tell me, how do you know me?
How do you know me
I want to fly my feet touch the sky
And I want to feel this love
Coming up from the inside
And I’ll see it in you
And you’ll see it in me
We’ll become love
The way it was supposed to be
Waking up from a dream
I’m waking up from a dream
Waking up

Rain Falls
06:02
|
|||
|
I take two steps out over the stream
Balancing over the questions
I just want the water to wash over me and tell me who I am supposed to be
And I peel away the layers
Of the years of protection
Feel foolish following this that I so fully yet so faintly believe
But I am looking for something more
I am looking for something...
And holding my breath
Trying to see what comes next
Which fear will take the place of my truth and which lie will make the edges look smooth
And I am looking for something real
I am looking for something
I can feel... Then I feel...
The sun shine on the rocks
And the sun shine on my skin
And the ground is so simple
When the rain, the rain
When the rain falls
I have this picture of you and me
On a bridge in the sun
With our arms stretched out and we're
Laughing at the world and spinning around
And when the vines that have overgrown
Choke out this life that just wants to be known
It's your voice that finds me
When the songs don't come around
And I am looking for something real
I am looking for something
I can feel... And I feel...
That I can feel... And I feel...
The sun shine on the rocks
And the sun shine on my skin
And the water runs deep
And it's rushing within
And the ground is so simple
When the rain, the rain
When the rain falls
And it falls…
And the rain, the rain
And the rain falls

Up on the Rocks
04:02
|
|||
|
Up on the Rocks of Rattlesnake Island
Dead tree bracing the wind
Its naked, bare, beautiful branches frozen
In complex rhythms of entanglement
I am finished being shaped and molded
It’s time to feel what I want coming
From the center of what I call me
I’m climbing the granite wall
I’m not afraid to fall
My hands are searching the rock
And right now that’s all I’ve got
And as I sit in these dark caverns
Where misery loves company
I cup my ears to the dripping of laughter and fear
Sit ‘em both down right in front of me
What is underneath these thoughts I think
What is underneath these songs I sing
What is underneath these prayers I pray
What is underneath these things I say
You put your face up to the rock
And a million lines will appear
Oh there is comfort in the patterns beneath my fears
I’m climbing the granite wall
I’m not afraid to fall
My hands are scaling the rock
And right now that’s all I’ve got
I’m climbing the granite wall
I’m not afraid to fall
My hands are holding the rock
And right now that’s all I’ve got
If I have to stand naked to the wind
Like a tree exposed and bare
I will feel the wind across my chest
Hold my head back and still be there
Still be there…

Love is the Seventh Wave
04:30
|
|

|
In the empire of the senses
You’re the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way, I say
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand
Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand
I say love is the seventh wave

Persephone
04:56
|
|||
|
There is nothing I would rather do
Than to spend the whole day
Sitting here with you
You are so exquisitely hard to read
That I find myself leaning in
Trying to find all of the meaning in
All the things you do...
How you bear your fruit
In your arms I feed
Then you turn away
Persephone
You go away and you know I bleed
You go back to your home
Back to your home you recede
There is nothing I would rather do
Then to spend the whole night
The whole night on the phone to you
We don't ever stop until we know
Exactly what we mean
You take me half the way around the world
Half the way around and all the places in between
‘Cause you bear your fruit and
In your arms I sleep
Then you turn away
Persephone
You go away and you know I bleed
You go back to your home
And your love recedes
‘Because she is wise and touches that which is in motion’*
Recognize potential like the moon on the ocean
Some forces you cannot see will make you want to flee
But we are perfect you and me
There is nothing I would rather do
Than to get into the same old
Argument with you
Sometimes we forget just where it is that we belong
you have become known to me my friend and you know
I am in this for the long run…
There is nothing I would rather do than go walking through
unfamiliar streets arm in arm with you
*Plato

Show You Love
03:44

I keep hearing voices
Out on the water
They float around they dance in the sun
That lights up the morning fog on the cold lake
Like a sleeping miracle
I wanted to wake you up
And show you love, love
And I thought you might want to dance in the sun
Land of milk and honey
Is all around me
I drink it alone
Deep waters are my home
Maybe that’s what you saw when you looked into me
I thought maybe you wanted to be known
When I saw you in your soft animal skin
I understood you like I already knew you
Wanted to breathe the air around you
Like we were one
I keep hearing voices
Out on the water and
I just wanted to sing my song for you
And to have you listen
Like you were leaning into something like you
That’s so beautiful and true
I wanted to wake you up
And show you love, love
And I thought you might want to dance in the sun
I thought you might want to dance in the sun
Maybe someday we will dance in the sun

The Return Home
05:03
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel the silence building up
And I feel a cold so deep
Freeze up til there’s nowhere to reach
Then the rain comes to drench you to the core
And the wind rocks you til all the seams come undone
Oh, how we try to hold on, hold on
But every time we sing hallelujah
The shifting plates of our soul begin to groan
And we open up a door to going home
Oh there’s so much more that we came here for
Ooh to fill ourselves up with so much life
Reach into the emptiness and find the light… we are
Every time we sing hallelujah
We hear the hunger in our soul begin to moan
And we open up a door to going home
Then the magic takes us on a ride we don’t wish for
And as the elements start to collide
Sometimes we close the doors and hide from the light
Take another chance on a whim
Sometimes stumbling we find our way
Something in the mystery makes us stay
Climbing up to the mountaintop
And I shout to the four winds with all my might
I have come from the deepest depths
You have seen me to the greatest height
Wishes we’ve whispered into the fire
As we stare at the burning flame
Oh how I want to burn the same
Send the wishes up to the sky
Oh let them fly so high
Filling the darkness with all your light
Make the stars rain down with all their might
Every time we sing hallelujah
We feel the embers of our soul begin to glow
And we open enough
We have opened up
We’ve opened up enough to know our way home
Home

My Love
04:59

If the world is in fire and smoke
And any help we can give just feels like a joke
Take my hand and we’ll be strong enough
And it won’t take away my love
No it won’t take away my love
No it won’t take away my love
Oh it won’t take away my love
No it won’t take away my love
If the sky should open up
And drown the world with a fearsome love
I will hold onto you long enough
That it won’t take away my love
And if I’ve got a problem with you
And we just can’t seem to see it through
I know we will find what is really true
And it won’t take away my love
And if you’ve got a problem with me
Making vows that last for eternity
Take a look at your own love and let me be
And it won’t take away my love
And if we should feel trodden down
By the hopelessness that is spreading around
Remember there’s a seed in every single sound
And it won’t take away my love
No it won’t take away my love
No it won’t take away my love
Oh it won’t take away my love
No it won’t take away my love
