LYRICS

ONLY LOVE

Dream it Forward

Wilted flowers on the doorstep Dripping with rain long gone From the vase enclosed below

You feel like cardboard littered
By street children playing
With old matches that will not glow

Naysayers ring in your head warning Do not forgive yourself for
Being so confident, how could you, Just let it all go

Mix it up, dream it forward Become the real
Live it up, travel onward Embody the zeal

(x2)

Deepness and darkness
Sinking, stinging, striking delicate blows On the faces below

Residue of rain clouds
Float inside their hearts
Blurring out, marring dreams from long ago

Ignorance maximized by dark glasses Blotting out the truth from which you hide Does it make it all better somehow
No

Mix it up, dream it forward Become the real
Live it up, travel onward Embody the zeal

(x2)

Droll Clowns

If you think of life as one big circus then droll clowns we shall be
flying high upon a trapeze
blissfully without a care
but circuses they keep traveling on with their feet never planted anywhere

If you think of life as great as the ocean then whales and fish we shall be swimming far beneath the waves blissfully without a care

but tides change and we'd get water logged we're meant to breathe air

So think of life as you and me then independent but always together one day we'll grow old
but we'll still read in our pajamas and dance late into the moonlight

Red-Winged Blackbird

red-winged blackbird find the light, glide and soar

red-winged blackbird let’s take flight, show me more of this life

red-winged blackbird, let’s find our place, feel secure

red-winged blackbird, let’s live with grace so our love endures in this life

let’s spread our wings, the Earth below in miniature, traveling ‘round the world, until all our days are full of giving love

red-winged blackbird
let’s go away far, reach the stars, find who we are
let’s find out who we are in this life

let’s feel the wind, it’s something beautiful,
let’s breathe deep, our journey’s full, filling all with love

let’s spread our wings, the Earth below in miniature traveling ‘round the world, until all our days are full of giving love

Across the Sea

Far away
across the sea my love has gone away from me

Foggy shores
and endless waves divide us now e’erlasting days

Some day the tides will take me too my love and I
will then be true

Far away
across the sea my love has gone away from me

Love Follows You

Separate, divide
Walk slow, hands by your side Warmed heart, still inside
Not severed, safe
Filled with light

We are told to build ourselves
Around our love, around our kin
And when we leave we must be broken Of our need to be entwined
But if spirits become shattered
Then we wander lost and blind

Separate, divide
Walk slow, hands by your side Warmed heart, beats inside Not severed, safe
Filled with light

But the truth is we are solid
Hands to our hearts
We feel the roots
And when we sway, we won’t be broken Love permeates, love follows you

Love permeates, love follows you

Love permeates, love follows you Love permeates, love follows you

Cold Sand
lyrics by Margaret McNellis

Cold sand
Under a silver-bellied moon Watching the tide roll out Wishing you’d be here soon

I never knew how short our time would be
Hopping from foot to foot on the sun-warmed beach When the red sky faded to black
Never had to seek stars
To find my way home

Cold sand
Under a silver-bellied moon Watching the tide roll out Wishing you’d be here soon

I never knew how much I could miss you

How the summer shore would scald my memories When the salt spray would sting my face
I’d squint into sunset
For a glimpse of you

Cold sand
Under a silver-bellied moon Watching the tide roll out Wishing you’d be here soon

I imagine loving this frosted shore
Marsh grass poking through the crust of snow with hope And spring can chase away winter’s breath
Banish away the chill
Waves come in again

In this life
Cold sand
In this life
Under a silver-bellied moon In this life

Waves come in again

Watching the tide roll out Wishing you’d be here soon

Someone to Call Home

Well, I’ve come from far away
Didn’t find what I’d hoped to today
I’ll keep on looking for someone to call home With a light in your eyes
And a look there on your face
You could light up the world
You could light up the whole place
One day I’ll find you

To find a home with another heart A new place, A new start, A love Someone to call home
Someone to call home

I close my eyes to take a little rest When I open them again, I
Well I, nearly lost my breath
I stopped my looking and you’d come Come to call me home

The light shone from across the room The same light I’d imagined
So close, I could only assume
That it shone for me

Leading me home

To find a home with another heart A new place, A new start, A love Someone to call home
Someone to call home

Magic

So slow down and soak up What’s happening right now

Cascading twinkling stars sliding between our beating hearts, glowing like fireflies or mars, my soul spilled from mine into yours

Something magical is happening right now Something’s magical we both feel it how

We slow down and drink up that momentary pause. Our eyes closed sweetness permeates our every cause

When the light hits our faces, understanding locks our eyes and though this love is serious, tonight I am feeling light as

Something magical is happening right now Something’s magical we both feel it how

We slow down and breathe in moon dust everywhere
we don’t move, don’t get up enchantment's in the air

Cascading twinkling stars
sliding between our beating hearts, glowing like fireflies or mars, my soul spilled from mine into yours

Something magical is happening right now Something’s magical we both feel it how

Something magical is happening right now Something’s magical we both feel it how

We slow down, slow down we slow down, the magical

The magical
slow down slow down
we slow down

She's Always, Always

I remember this one morning
As we sat by the fire
Holding hands
Gazing into the flames
You held me and told me
Our love would never die, and then my heart did melt

Always, she’s always my love, always
I’ll always and always be with you

I remember this one morning
As we sat by the sea
Watching the sun cross the sky
As the black turned to orange and then to the blue I knew I would always be with you

Always, she’s always my love, always
I’ll always and always be with you

And oh, this morning,
Just this very morning
When I turned to you cross the room
In your brown eyes,
Was the love that long past consigned my heart over to you

‘Cause still
Always, she’s always My love, always
I’ll always and always Be with you

Waiting For Goodbye

Waiting for the pain to ease Waiting on the hurt to leave Waiting for goodbye
You’ll cross the other side We’re left here, behind With tears in our eyes

You burn bright, so bright
The stars have nothing on you You burn bright, so bright Your glow will long outlast you

Waiting on release
of your spirit at peace Waiting for goodbye
We don’t want to move on But we can’t selfishly hold on Just keep our memories

You burn bright, So bright The stars have nothing on you You burn bright, So bright Your glow will long outlast you You burn bright, So bright We’ll never forget you
