"Love In Time"

"Love In Time"


The world is filled with restless lovers
Ever waiting for another chance to try
To find what’s passed them by

The night is broken with the crying
Of the lost who wonder why
They’re never found
It’s such a sorry sound.

But Love in Time will come to all
Take your breath and break your fall
All of those who hunger will be fed.
And just when things are looking dark
Love will come and take your heart
And wake in you a promise long unsaid

The winds of fortune rarely grace
Those who try to force the pace
And will not see
That love can’t be had for free

Those who try to place a price on
The value of their sacrifice
Will suffer long
Theirs is the saddest sound

"Lovers In A Dangerous Time"
(originally by Bruce Cockburn)



The hours grow shorter as the days go by
You never get to stop and open your eyes
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

These fragile bodies of touch and taste
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time
Lovers in a dangerous time

"Magic Every Moment"

"Magic Every Moment"


I awoke this morning to a shattering sound
And I went downstairs and found these shards of glass strewn all around
And there upon the floor I found this poor broken dove
And it made me realize how very fragile is this life that we so love

I came back up to bed and I held you so tight
And I prayed up to the Father, oh I prayed with all my might
That He'd always keep you with me, that He'd always keep you safe
And when I went downstairs I found that dove had somehow up and flown away

There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play

On a high and windy island I was gazing out to sea
When a long forgotten feeling came and took control of me
It was then the clouds burst open and the sun came pouring through
When it hit those dancing waters in an instant all eternity I knew

There's so much we take for granted, there's so much we never say
We get caught up in the motion of just a living day to day
We are fettered to the future, we are prisoners of the past
And we never seem to notice 'til our lives have finally slipped right through our grasp

There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play

You can see forever in a single drop of dew
You can see that same forever if you look down deep inside of you
There's a spark of the creator in every living thing
He respects me when I work but He so loves me when I sing

There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play

There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play

"Make Love Stay"

"Make Love Stay"


Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?
Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
How do we keep it from dying away?

Elusive as dreams
Barely remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom flies
But held in the heart
It pales like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes.

Moments fleet, taste sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed.

Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?

Moments fleet, taste so sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed.

Now that we loved
Look at the moonless night and tell me
How do we make love stay?

"Man In The Mirror"

"Man In The Mirror"


The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer
But I am not moving
The man in the backstreet
Is holding a trackmeet
But I will not run.

Someplace inside you a
Seed has been born
You've got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go?

Those voices you're hearing
Are never worth fearing
They're only inside you
They'll tempt you and taunt you
They'll help you and haunt you
But don't try to hide.

Sometimes the sun will be
Right at your shoulder
Helping you keep your stride
Sometimes you might have to give up
A piece of your pride
Have you even tried?

The man in the mirror
He keeps getting nearer
But I am not moving
The man in the backstreet
Is holding a trackmeet
But I will not run.

Someplace inside you a
Seed has been born
You've got to watch it grow
Someplace inside you
A river is waiting to flow
Will you let it go?

"Missing You"

"Missing You"


Hard days I'm travelling
Alone for too long
Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere
That I never belong
Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm moving so fast now
It doesn't seem true
Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm getting closer
But I don't know what to
Ooh, I'm missing you.

Oho, If I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life.

This life I'm living's
Getting so hard to feel
Ooh, I'm missing you
The days are empty
And the nights are unreal
Ooh, I'm missing you

Oho, If I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life.

Hard days I'm travelling
Alone for too long
Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere
That I never belong
Ooh, I'm missing you.

Oho, If I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life.
All of the days of my life.

"More Than Ever"

"More Than Ever"


If there are any words
That we haven't said,
Let us say them.
I know all too well
How people's lies betray them.

More than ever
I'll wait for you there.
More than ever
I will need you to care
And I'll never
Need more than a prayer
To be near you.
To be near you.

Time is a baby child
Found in the rain
Born of fever.
She'll bring you pretty songs
Laced through with lies
But don't you believe her.

More than ever
I'll wait for you there.
More than ever
I will need you to care
And I'll never need
More than a prayer
To be near you.
To be near you.

"Morning Sky"

"Morning Sky"


You and I were lovers all along
We had a good thing going strong
And never doubted.
Lately, I feel changes comin' on
I know that I will soon be gone
And you don't even want
To talk about it.

OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why
People give their hearts and turn
around and say goodbye
If there's something on your mind
You better say it while there's time
'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that
Morning sky.

OOO, how did we ever come to this?
There's nothing for me in your kisses anymore.
Late nights in the kitchen
I'm pretending I still care
But we both know there's nothing there
And you just keep on starin'
At the door.

OOO, and it makes me stop and wonder why
People give their hearts and turn
around and say goodbye
If there's something on your mind
You better say it while there's time
'Cause I'm leavin' when I see that
Morning sky.

See that morning sky.

"Mountain Pass"

"Mountain Pass"


Well, I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight;
Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me.
This highway ain't the very best companion,
'cause I know there's somewhere else I'd rather be.

The moonlight on the snow just sets me thinking
'Bout the way your smile shines upon your face.
And I know this ain't the last beer I'll be drinking
Before I reach my final resting place
Oh, I...

...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishin' I was in your arms again.

Oh my wheels are running hard against this mountain,
I finally crossed the Archuleta line.
Another hour and I'll be with my darlin'
To dry those lonesome tears that she's been cryin'
But I...

...wish that I was in your arms a' sleeping,
Dreaming of the sweet love we just made,
But I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight,
Wishin' I was in your arms again.

Wishin' I was in your arms again.

"Nether Lands"

"Nether Lands"


High on this mountain
The clouds down below
I'm feeling so strong and alive
From this rocky perch
I'll continue to search
For the wind
And the snow
And the sky
I want a lover
I want some friends
And I want to live in the sun
And I want to do all the things that I
never have done.

Sunny bright mornings
And pale moonlit nights
Keep me from feeling alone
Now, I'm learning to fly
And this freedom is like
Nothing that I've ever known
I've seen the bottom
And I've been on top
But mostly I've lived in between
And where do you go
When you get to the end of
your dream?

Off in the nether lands
I heard a sound
Like the beating of heavenly wings
And deep in my brain
I can hear a refrain
Of my soul as she rises and sings
Anthems to glory and
Anthems to love and
Hymns filled with early delight
Like the songs that the darkness
Composes to worship the light.

Once in a vision
I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear
Yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
One road was simple
Acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release.
