"In My Heart"

"In My Heart"


I don't know why we still live together; we're so far a-part so much of the time.
I don't know why this beautiful weather is breaking my spirit
and tearing my mind all apart.
Are you so lonely? Are you so sad?
Have you lost your purpose, the faith that you had?
If life is a question, I don't understand, if time is the reason, then nobody can,
in my heart it is just an illusion, it's not even real,
it's much more than you think, it's much more than you feel.

My ears are still ringing, there's nothing to say. I look to the ocean to wash me away.
There goes my best friend, there goes my last dime.
If love is the answer, I'm wasting my time.
In my heart it is just an illusion, it's not even real,
it's much more than you think, it's much more than you feel.
Than you feel. Is this real, what I feel, in my heart? In my heart? In my heart?

"In The Grand Way"

"In The Grand Way"


In the grand way, she loves me. The way she holds me close to rest with me.
And to know she is my life to me, my empty days are done,
my running days are run, for the first time I love the morning.
Burning sundowns, colored autumn trees, mountain rivers, country rivers put my mind at ease.
And to realize such perfect harmony, standing in the dawn of a new day coming on,
I'm looking for no tomorrow.

I can still hear the lonely sound, the engines of the midnight freight train northward bound.
And to feel my life, my life slowly losing ground.
I never quite understood though I see it for the good and it seems like I've just been dreaming.

The way she holds me close to comfort me.

My empty days are done, my running days are run, for the first time I love the morning.
For the first time I love the morning, for the first time, the first time.

"Isabel"

"Isabel"


Isabel is waiting
In a room of many shadows
Her eyes like flashing diamonds
Shining brightly from the sea
Her hair in silken tresses
Like a robe around her shoulders
Hiding tantalising treasures
That the sun has never seen

Isabel is watching
Like a princess from the mountains
For the first soft snows of winter
And the icy winds they bring
With a whisper of her sadness
In the passing of the summer
Her crown is wild red roses
With a lace of forest green

And she wraps her arms around me and she sighs
And she sing to me in silence with her eyes
And her hair upon my pillow comforts me

Isabel is weeping
And her eyes are full of wonder
She knows that it's the time for her
And she cannot understand
She's a mistress of the moonlight
To the stars she is a sister
And the morning now awaits her
To betray her once again

And she whispers as she sadly slips away
Then she smiles because there's nothing left to say
And she takes with her the sadness and the sun

"Islands"

"Islands"


Islands call out to me like the highlands that I always see in my dreams of home,
I am never alone when I'm there.
Islands, like so many dreams, are like canyons, but off the main stream.
And there's no one there, the dreamer is always alone.
And the mighty blue ocean keeps rolling on every shore, like the spirit that binds us together,
we are so much more than islands.

Islands belong to the sea like the dark sands of my memory.
When the morning comes they are stepping-stones to the sun.
And the mighty blue ocean keeps rolling on every shore, like the spirit that binds us together,
we are so much more than islands, islands.

"It Amazes Me"

"It Amazes Me"


He came looking for the answers to some questions on his mind.
Seeking truth and understanding in the hope that he would find a way
to better serve his brothers and his sisters in the sun,
sharing all that he was given giving all to everyone.
Come and listen to the story of a journey once begun,
of a people and their plenty and their season in the sun and how they
gave themselves a symbol and things they could hold,
living lives in desperation, in the fear of letting go.

It amazes me and I know the wind will surely someday blow it all away.
It amazes me and I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way.

For our paths have come together now, where do we go from here?
Will our differences divide us, must we always live in fear?
For there are things that we must move through, some things to cast aside.
While our Father watches over us, our Mother will provide.

It amazes me and I know the wind will surely someday blow it all away.
It amazes me and I'm so very grateful that you made the world this way.
It amazes me, it amazes me, it amazes me.

"It Makes Me Giggle"

"It Makes Me Giggle"


It makes me giggle, it makes me giggle, just having my baby around me.
It makes me giggle, sometimes I wiggle cause I'm so glad she found me.
Sometimes I wake up feeling crabby, she gives me love as sweet as candy.

It makes me giggle, it makes me giggle, every time I see my little boy child.
It makes me giggle, sometimes I wiggle, sometimes I even jump for joy, child.
He knows just how to make me happy, he gives me loves and calls me Daddy.
It makes me giggle, it makes me giggle, c'mon giggle for me.

If I ever felt better I can't seem to recall. It just blows me away to be part of it all.
It makes me giggle, it makes me giggle, just singing these love songs for you.
It makes me giggle, sometimes I wiggle, there ain't nothing that I'd rather do.
I like to see you with a smile on your face, I'd like to give one to the whole human race
and then I'd giggle, we could all giggle, now wiggle for me.

If I ever felt better I can't seem to recall, it just blows me away to be part of it all.

"It's A Possibility"

"It's A Possibility"


For all of the times that you've wondered why the world turned out this way,
and all of the time that you've asked yourself about the games that people play,
about the politics of hunger and the politics of need,
how the politics of power seem to be the politics of greed,
for all the times that you struggled in an effort to work your way back upstream,
and all of the times you've held on to it when most of us had lost the dream,
and for all of the ones who have walked with you, by your side or way back home,
maybe much more than any of us, you know, that no one is really alone.

Because the heart is still a hunter, it's like a beacon in the night.
And though the heart is just a lover, it's never afraid to fight.
We are fighting for more than survival, we are working for more than peace.
We are giving ourselves to each other, making sure all injustice will someday cease.
You can take a look around you and you can see how far we've come,
all the separate parts, all the hundreds of hearts that are beating together as one.
It's a possibility for many tomorrows, it's a possibility of a world to be made for everyone.
It's a possibility, no more suffering and sorrow, it's a possibility, it's in everyone.
It's a possibility of many tomorrows, we're a possibility of a world truly made for everyone.
We're a possibility, no more suffering and more sorrow

"It's A Sin To Tell A Lie"

"It's A Sin To Tell A Lie"


Be sure it's true when you say, I love you. It's a sin to tell a lie.
Millions of hearts have been broken, Just because these words were spoken.
I love you, Yes I do, I love you. If you break my heart I'll die.
So be sure it's true, When you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie.

Cross my heart, hope to die, I'll never, never ever tell another white lie.
Took a little girl out on a date last night,
Next to her Greta Gerty would have looked all right.
Now I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea, cause I said "Baby you look good to me."
I told her I loved her, but oh, how I lied, and now she's getting set to be my blushing bride.
If she leads me to the altar, I'm sunk cause I can't tell the preacher I was drunk.
So God have mercy on a "no account sinner,"
Give me one more chance to let another guy win her.
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'll never, never, never, tell one more time,
I'll never tell another white lie, do do di do do.

"It's About Time"

"It's About Time"


There's a full moon over India and Gandhi lives again.
Who's to say you have to lose for someone else to win?
In the eyes of all the people, the look is much the same,
for the first is just the last one when you play a deadly game.
It's about time we realize it, we're all in this together.
It's about time we find out, it's all of us or none.
It's about time we recognize it, these changes in the weather.
It's about time, it's about changes, and it's about time.

There's a light in the Vatican window for all the world to see
and a voice cries in the wilderness and sometimes he speaks for me.
I suppose I love him most of all when he kneels to kiss the land,
with his lips upon our mother's breast, he makes his strongest stand.
It's about time we start to see it, the earth is our only home.
It's about time we start to face it, we can't make it here all alone.
It's about time we start to listen to the voices in the wind,
it's about time and it's about changes and it's about time.

There's a man who is my brother, I just don't know his name.
But I know his home and family because I know we feel the same.
And it hurts me when he's hungry and when his children cry.
I too am a father, and that little one is mine.
It's about time we begin it, to turn the world around.
It's about time we start to make it, the dream we've always known.
It's about time we start to live it, the family of man.
It's about time, it's about changes and it's about time.
It's about peace and it's about plenty and it's about time,
It's about you and me together and it's about time.

"It's In Every One Of Us"


It's in every one of us to be wise. Find your heart, open up both your eyes.
We can all know everything without ever knowing why.
It's in every one of us, by and by.
