Je t'embrasse 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Je t'embrasse When you were in the world We’d talk the hours away Though we’re not of this world We kept our worries at bay Now you’re gone I must carry on But sometimes Most of the time I am not that strong I am not that strong Hot white morning light Defines these summer days When evening fades tonight Heartache moves in to stay I hope you’re safe Away from this place And you can hear My voice singing clear Je t’embrasse Je t’embrasse There are no words No more words Nothing left to say But we knew that anyway There is no time No precious time There is only now And somehow now is gone Seems impossible to end An hourglass so full My turn is ‘round the bend I do know that for sure We’ll met again My beautiful friend And sometimes Most of the time I feel your kisses on the wind I feel your kisses on the wind I feel your kisses on the wind Je t’embrasse Je t’embrasse

Into Question 04:31
lyrics

Into Question When you think of our lives together Do they make any sense at all Tangled webs that bind and tether And leave us hanging on a wall So life is it too late Will I learn from my mistakes I have always tempted fate Wait, wait, I wait We enjoy the golden moments Beauty filters what we perceive It’s those ultimate atonements That bring us to our knees So love is it too late Will I learn to give and take I have always doubted faith Break, break, I break I miss the ones Who’ve gone along To the other side Spirits near Still they leave a void so wide Death brings life into question There is an ending to this all No escaping that direction Humble down and take the fall So life is it too late Will I quell this aching trait I got this feeling I can’t shake Wake, awake, stay awake I miss the ones Who’ve gone along To the other side Spirits near Still they leave a void so wide I miss the ones Who’ve gone along To the other side Spirits near Still they leave a void so wide

19 10 1 She set her sights Across eternity Searching for A different galaxy Away from here Far or near To disappear She cast her prayers Into the breeze on sea Never loosing hope Sail along Through sky and trees Away from me Come back to me She reached for the sun She held the light inside her Burning through the night Soaring high She carried on her wingspan All the dreams of life All our dreams She offered love And generosity Spoke the truth Intuitively She knew your needs Yeah she could see She watched you bleed She touched the sun She kept the light inside her Flaming through the night Soaring high She carried all the burdens And the dreams of life All our dreams for life All our dreams

Abandonded Here 04:13
lyrics

Abandoned Here The days they wander ‘round Sometimes without a sound I look toward the sky Hum my eternal goodbye Silence leaves me reeling Inside of intense feelings Abandoned here Surrounded here By shadows left I do my best To find the light And I fail I fail I fail Every night I’m waiting for a sign Or to recall a time I felt complete Stood on my own two feet Silence leaves me reeling Inside of intense feelings I have no home I feel so alone By shadows left I do my best To find the light But I fail I fail I fail Every night Trapped inside my mind Tangled roads unwind I look toward the sky I think I’ve really tried Silence leaves me reeling Inside of intense feeling I am still here Abandonded here By shadows left I do my best To find the light And I fail I fail I fail Every night I fail I fail I fail Every night

Narcisister 03:57
lyrics

Narcisister I’m sorry Please forgive me Thank you I loved you You are not the one To shine along the sun With me In darkness you’ll remain For all the rest our days You will see The story unfolds Ten thousand times before It’s primal Denial Not once did you permit Anyone to submit Their opinion Into your dominion You are not the one To shine along the sun Beside me You never admit the truth Not everything’s about you It’s plain to see Now leave me be I’ve wasted so much life Trying to comprehend your side But it’s twisted I must resist it I’m troubled by your mind No consciousness inside It’s baffling Like scaffolding You are not the one To shine along the sun Beside me Though blood lines may be drawn I’m no longer your pawn You will and see I am free I know one day you’ll knock But I have stopped the clock on you Forever You will discover Whatever you might try You’ll only hear my goodbyes In silence That’s the consequence You are not the one To shine along the sun Beside me In darkness you’ll remain For all the rest our days You will see You are not the one You are not the one I have no more pity You are not the one You are not the one To shine by me I am free

Out of Time 04:26
lyrics

Out of Time You know We need to let go Of our love Its run out of time I know how hard it will be I know how lonely we’ll be But hey We’ve hit a new low I don’t think We’ll ever recover Even though our love was once strong Even though we used to belong To each other We’ll have our memory Of the crescent moon and trees We’ll hold that mystery Of the angel’s falling leaves Keep the bluebird wings The croaky way a raven sings To bring some comforting We know This thing isn’t right If you and I Can’t get through the night Disagreements becoming too fierce Our tender hearts getting pierced To the core We’ll have our history Take a break and let it breathe Holding close that mystery Of the angel’s falling leaves Keep the bluebird wings The croaky way a raven sings To bring some comforting Keep the bluebird wings The croaky way a raven sings Keep the bluebird wings Keep the bluebird wings To bring some comforting

To Be Human 05:00
lyrics

To Be Human The buddhas are burning They’re shooting the priests They’ve kidnapped the nuns And that’s not the least The monks are imprisoned The protesters too Seems we’ve lost our vision In this muddled stew The high court is lawless Elections are fixed We have fearful leaders With big bags of tricks And the wars they keep raging ‘Cause that’s what wars do There is no escaping This confounding zoo Oh where is our freedom And where is the love We’re surrounded by evil That fits like a glove As it strangles our voices And beats down our thoughts We are loosing our souls And we’ve almost forgot What it is to be human What it is to be human What is it to be human Can you tell me that We are searching for answers Through illusions of change Just read the newspapers It’s always the same Multitudes of strong colors With varied beliefs Wwe turn on each other And sink in our teeth Our hearts are all broken And filled with despair We keep rolling that rock up But there is no repair So we drown in false comforts Seems there’s never enough Got more shit than we need But hey life sure is tough Oh where is our freedom And where is the love We’re surrounded by evil That fits like a glove As it strangles our voices And beats down our thoughts We are loosing our souls And we nearly forgot What it is to be human What it is to be human What is it to be human Can you tell me that When will the hate end Can the children be spared We keep this facade up Behind their blank stares The innocent suffer There is nowhere to hide And everyone claims They’ve got God on their side Oh where is our freedom And where is the love We’re surrounded by evil That fits like a glove As it strangles our voices And beats down our thoughts We are loosing our souls And we clearly forgot What it is to be human What it is to be human What is it to be human Can you tell me that

Estranged 05:52
lyrics

Estranged Was it wasted energy All the love we shared U-turned into gravity Impossible to bear Chose my side so carefully Hope my effort showed Judgement and depravity Met me on the road I sang your praises You took my hand We held our confidence As we walked upon the land It meant so much It meant everything Then our tender hearts Crumbled apart I thought I understood you Standing there so strong Then the wind blew through Proving I was wrong You felt betrayed But I never swayed You said I must choose Someone to loose I sang your praises You took my hand We held our confidence As we walked upon the land It meant so much It meant everything Then our tender hearts Fell apart You had your reasons Called it high treason And your hot tempered storm Slammed the door If I say I’m sorry Would you even hear Did you see your part in it Before you disappeared I wish I had an answer After all this time Maybe take some words back For any fault that’s mine I sang your praises You took my hand We held our confidence As we walked upon the land It meant so much It meant everything And still our hearts Broke apart I had my reasons Tried so hard to please them And the cold winter storm Shut the door

Toasting Wheat Germ 02:30

Toasting Wheat Germ Toasting wheat germ in the morning Makes me think of you So many things you did Are things that I still do Your light comes shining through Your gusto and your gallantry Were sometimes misaligned Your intentions were always good And stand the test of time Your light has become mine We had our joys and struggles Got into a lot of trouble But through it all we always knew You held us in your bubble The warmest place to snuggle Dreams and aspirations high You built our mountain home The years they went so quickly by Love sculpted in our bones Your light still shines, Dear Cy We had our joys and struggles Got into a lot of trouble But through it all we always knew You held us in your bubble The warmest place to snuggle Your light still shines Your light has become mine Your light still shines

What Was Lost 04:16

What Was Lost I took some boxes Out of the closet Full of things I used to be They’re on my desk now and Strewn ‘round the floor I don’t know what to do with them Anymore Evermore Something is missing Inside the pictures Ghostly undefined Among the ruins And all the illusions I tell myself That I don’t mind Nevermind In my dreams I swear I don’t care If it’s lost Was it ever there If it’s lost Was it never here The rain came down So silently It’s taken years To figure out What I believe Requires too much Energy Too much damn energy When I wake to face My mistakes What was lost Is not erased What was lost Has found its place I took those boxes Out of the closet Filled with reverie Among the ruins And all my illusions I’m searching for Some certainty Some identity The rain comes down So quietly It’s taken years I realize What I believe Is hidden In the mystery It’s in the mystery And if I fall asleep I can’t see What was lost Remains in me What was lost Will never leave

No Difference Something’s gone missing ‘Tween you and me We’re not the same two people We used to be Something has changed We both know it’s true Something has shifted ‘Tween me and you We had a strong love Our eyes were locked That spark has left the room now It’s dark and blocked There is no fault There’s no one to blame Something has shifted It’s not the same I really loved you baby I still do Whatever happened darlin’ It makes me feel so blue Now that we’re over We’ve faced the fact Let’s keep our minds wide open And don’t look back If we are strong And keep our hearts true They’ll be no difference ‘Tween me and you I really loved you baby I still do Whatever happened darlin’ It makes me feel so blue

Friday's Child You were a mother Unlike any other Inventing stories Regaling glories Of freedom fantasies And all the beautiful places For somebody like me You showed me kindness Motherly blindness We danced ‘round and painted We sang songs and fainted Inciting fantasies Of all the romantic places Someday I might see Friday’s Child is loving and giving Running wild in a space worth living Friday’s Child Tous les deux As I grew older Attempting to be bolder You turned your gaze away Let me make my own mistakes Explore identities That might possibly satisfy Somebody like me I became a woman You waved your hand Though still your baby You realized maybe It was time for me to find Some new fantasies Of my own kind Friday’s Child is loving and giving Running wild in a space worth living Tous les deux Tous les deux Tous les deux Interdependence Was woven into The fabric of our lives But independence Is what I needed And I left you behind You were a mother Unlike any other You set me free You let me be And helped me to be strong You never let me forget that I belong Friday’s Child is loving and giving Running wild in a space worth living Tous les deux Tous les deux Tous les deux

Tsunami 03:56

Tsunami Love how did you know where to find me You came out of those shadows behind me I should have known When I saw you cross over that river Floating in to change my life Now how do we vision a future When this wasn’t a part of the picture We should have known The waters were murky and tragic Still you came to change my life Love awake Love asleep Every time we talk or meet Where will this tsunami take us Under its wave or into the sky The sky When all of the fragments have settled Our hearts resting soft as a petal We will have known A passion deeper than the ocean Flooding in to change our lives Love awake Love asleep Every time we talk or meet Where will this tsunami take us Under its wave or into the sky
