Dream – Lyrics
You move over shimmering waters,
You see your face in the deep
You create and you hope
That you’ll find what you seekAnd you dig deep in the earth,
Its all sticky, wet and black.
Ah..you’re soaked by the rain,
But you don’t turn back.You see your love measured out,
Into fine, crystal glasses.
And handed out anxiously,
To the next person who passes.You see the sun rise
You see it fall to the earth again
You see the leaves grow and die
In a forest that still remainsOh..dream is all you seem to do
You hope for tomorrow
Because today just won’t do
Oh..dream is all you seem to do
You search for beauty
And a love that is true.You see a baby born,
All crying and bloody red.
You see his mother sleeping
Her hair matted in her bed.And you hear a trumpet call,
At dawn on a lonely hill.
And you see a lion tear
Into its captured kill.Oh..dream is all you seem to do
You hope for tomorrow
Because today just won’t do
Oh..dream is all you seem to do
You search for beauty
And a love that is true
The Woman in the Red Dress (Del Ray) – Lyrics
Act 1
It’s a stormy night
But the balcony is dry
I can hear the rain falling
I can see the clouds fly
I drink my whisky down
It warms my gut
Her red dress is wet
And her eyes are shutWe hear the music float
From the streets below
And she smiles and she sways
And she dances real slow
As I watch her move
I feel my blood rise
I wait till she’s ready
And she opens her eyesWell…I must have been crazy
She had a troubled past
But she’s so beautiful
I forget it couldn’t last“Dance with me Baby”
“This is our night”
And she holds out her arms
In the pale moonlightAct 2
She finds me again
She’d gone missing for a while
She has a bottle of whisky
And her “kiss-me” smile
I feel the whisky burn
All the way down
I can see the dawn is breaking
Over this forgotten townShe takes off her red dress
I can see her new tattoos
And I was nearly falling
And losing myself anewI said “I loved you once
But its all over now…”
“Oh”, She said “Please hold me
Because I need you now…”Act 3
The sweat runs its journey
Slowly down my back
As I sit in a bar
Way off the beaten track
The music hangs in the air
The sea crashes nearby
He said “Have another whisky…
Now tell me…why?”“Well…her vulnerable beauty
Was her siren song
And it pulled me in
From the ship I was on
We went in fast on a ride
That was wild and strong
And she forgot her demons
But it was not for longAnd it felt like love
’Til things began to break
I thought I was enough
But that was my mistakeShe hid her strong will
Deep in her vulnerability
I was broken on the rocks
Hidden in her stormy sea…”Act 4
I finished my song
To a little applause
It was long past midnight
And it felt a lost cause
I packed my Martin guitar
With its Baggs pickup
She gave them to me
Long after our breakupShe took one of my names
But she spelt it wrong
She only ever wanted
To sing her song
And she sacrificed all
With talent and brand
Until the world chose her
With an invisible handWell…she’s famous now
But I’m hurt by the calculation
Of all the steps she buried
Under her infatuationI’m lonely sometimes
With my choice to be free
My fire ain’t as hot
But it belongs to me
The Sun also Shines for Me – Lyrics
I cross the river at its ford
My cloak hides my head from the world
I cross the river at its ford
My cloak hides my head from the worldI follow the raven through twisted hills
I’m weary but I must travel still
I follow the raven through twisted hills
I’m weary but I must travel stillIs this a strange destiny that brings me here
Or do I run from something that I fear
Is this a strange destiny that brings me here
Or do I run from something that I fearI kneel and I pray to a God I don’t know
I wait for the rain and the thunder to go
I kneel and I pray to a God I don’t know
I wait for the rain and the thunder to goI find pure water and a single green tree
And the sun also shines in the sky for me
I find pure water and a single green tree
And the sun also shines in the sky for meIs this a strange destiny that brings me here
Or do I run from something that I fear
Is this a strange destiny that brings me here
Or do I run from something that I fear
The Crossroads – Lyrics
I stood at the cross of two great roads
With the dew rising in the morning
And I offered up all that I hold
With the dew rising in the morningAnd the earth it moved
And the wind it blew
There is still time to forgive
And the seeds they flew
And the trees they grew
There is still time to forgiveThe wine on her lips was red from the sun
That shone on her in the morning
Oh she was my love under the sun
That shone on her in the morningAnd the earth it moved
And the wind it blew
There is still time to forgive
And the seeds they flew
And the trees they grew
There is still time to forgiveHer lash on my skin, it cut and broke through
In the fading light of the evening
And the blood I let run to sow something new
In the fading light of the eveningAnd the earth it moved
And the wind it blew
There is still time to forgive
And the seeds they flew
And the trees they grew
There is still time to forgiveIs this how we love?
Is this how we live?
And is there still time to forgive?
Is this how we love?
Is this how we live?
And is there still time to forgive?
Everything Must End – Lyrics
I boarded the plane early
In the Stockholm snow
I flew the blue sky
To our London home
I wanted to tell you
About the contract I’d finally signed
I thought we’d turned a corner
I thought we’d left our money worries behindI came to our door
And I knew something was wrong
The door it wouldn’t open
Because you’d left the chain still on
Our kids were downstairs
They were watching TV
You said you’d never planned
This way to tell meWe must pick our moment
When the writing’s on the wall
We must pick our moment
While it’s still ours to call
The party will go on
But we’ll leave it at the bend
Because everything must change
And everything must endThe sea was a deep blue
On Sardinia’s sandy shore
And in a green leafy shade
We ordered and we ate some more
We held hands and laughed
As they joked again
Oh…We were confident
We were beautiful thenWe must pick our moment
When the writing’s on the wall
We must pick our moment
While it’s still ours to call
The party will go on
But we’ll leave it at the bend
Because everything must change
And everything must end
The Power and The Glory
I’ve seen the power and I’ve seen the glory
I was seated at the feast,
I celebrated many ceremonies
I was dark and aloof as a priest.
Somehow I felt seduced
And that I was asked to betray,
And I felt too excluded
To make an instinctive play.I was often defeated
But never did I lose,
I felt I had too few options
But I was brave enough to choose.
I sailed the stormy ocean
Till I landed here on this shore,
But I had heard the siren’s song
For a long time before.I drank into the night
To lose myself for a while,
And sometimes I found a dark portrait
With a face-torn smile.
And I have given my love willingly,
It was not from manacles torn.
But since then I’ve seen my love die
And I’ve seen something else born.I was often defeated
But never did I lose,
I felt I had too few options
But I was brave enough to choose.
And all that I want now
Is of no consequence,
For I am but stardust
For this world to dispense.
Heart Beating – Lyrics
The sun shines down
On the road you choose
As you bounce along
In your high heeled shoesWould you value my compliment?
On your look or style?
Would you feel a thrill?
As you return my smile?You make me feel alive
You make me feel something good
And I can feel my heart beating
I can feel it pumping bloodYou live in the moment
You know your needs
You wield your beauty
As you surf with easeWhat can I give you?
Have I what you desire?
Can I make you happy?
For more than a while?You make me feel alive
You make me feel something good
And I can feel my heart beating
I can feel it pumping blood
In Her Swimming Pool – Lyrics
Her red ruby lips
Her hair a lustrous brown
The way she moved her hips
Messed my head around
I forgot all the rules
When I swam in her swimming poolOn a night of stars
We looked in our eyes
We kissed and saw far
Beyond common lies
We were hot & the night was cool
When I swam in her swimming poolI wanted more
She did not resist
She began to moan
And strain and twist
Her body tingled to my rule
When I swam in her swimming poolOur quest was treasure
We duelled without swords
We valued without measure
We spoke without words
The look in her face was the fuel
When I swam in her swimming poolIt rained & it poured
I was washed anew
We played sacred chords
Heard only by a few.
It was mother nature’s school
When I swam in her swimming poolIn the aftermath sure
Her body moonlight shone
Her face majestic pure
And peace had silently come
A loving tenderness ensued
When I swam in her swimming poolHer red ruby lips
Her hair a lustrous brown
The way she moved her hips
Messed my head around
I forgot all the rules
When I swam in her swimming pool
Have I Loved Her Enough? – Lyrics
The lines are all drawn
And positions taken
It’s arguments at dawn
And we are forsaken
I think about giving and taking
And how she takes too much
But I’ve got a treacherous feeling
That I ain’t loved her enoughWill our differences exchange
For the complement we seek?
I know love requires change
And turning the other cheek
Will she do some kneeling?
And her share of the rough?
But I’ve got a treacherous feeling
That I ain’t loved her enoughWhy do we seek control?
Is it a security thing?
We could destroy the whole
Of what we’re trying to win
A lost battle has me reeling
Did I shoot the wrong stuff?
But I’ve got a treacherous feeling
That I ain’t loved her enoughSo give of your love
And it shall be given to you
It’s more blessed to give
Than to receive it too
Such a love sounds healing
And ours a childish bluff
I’ve got a treacherous feeling
That I ain’t loved her enough

Do Unto Me – Lyrics
Can we fix this?
Or is it too late?
Is your heart too wounded
Behind your locked gate?
I’ve tried in my way
To open my heart to you
Will you do unto me
As you would have me do unto you?I have walked in your shoes
To study your fears
I’ve learned from wise men
And my mistakes down the years
To sing together
I’ve often played to your tune
Will you do unto me
As you would have me do unto you?Now I have many colours
Not just black or white
Sometimes I’ve strayed into the dark
But I strive for the light
I would forgive you
A mistake or two
Will you do unto me
As you would have me do unto you?The seeds that were sown
So they shaped our hearts
And in that tangle that was grown
So it shaped our start
I would not ask you
For more than you could do
Will you do unto me
As you would have me do unto you?I was more of the head
And you of the heart
We should be stronger together
Than we are apart
I would accept
You have a different view
Will you do unto me
As you would have me do unto you?
