Baby Blues

Remember all those days?
Lost weekends when we would misbehave
And how I would pray
No surprises would come 'round my way
And yet I always knew
Down the road someday I'd change my tune
For you my skies are blue
Too soon, too soon
Baby blues are breaking me
Who knew? Who knew?
Naked truth would awaken deep
Inside my heart and deep inside my mind
Touching my desire to be father to the child
But hey, maybe I'm fine
My concerns could turn to pantomime
Let the cradle sway inside my mind
With the father in this heart of mine
'Cause I know that I possess
Chartless oceans deep with tenderness
For you my eyes are blue
(chorus)

San Francisco
02:51
|
|||
|
I met you in my dream last night
We hugged and kissed, confessed and then we cried
I tried to hold on but I had to go
San Francisco was so long ago
Is this intuition or am I unwell?
Is my stomach sinking down the wishing well
Am I brave enough to hurt the ones I love?
I'm afraid to say who I've been dreaming of
San Francisco was so long ago
San Francisco was so long ago
San Francisco was so long ago
San Francisco was so long ago

Dynasty Green
04:41

Sierra Leonne
Native girl with the dark green lashes
Fell asleep on her throne
Holy sage under camera flashes
Holding court in my room
Keeping corners from collapsing
Burning all of our perfume
In a rage of colours clashing
Cleopatra my dear
Your baby brothers rest before you
Angels ring in your ears
Singing journeys over dark azure blues
There's a garden I know
Where life is slow by Antarctic waters
And soon you'll have to go there
Leaving ripples to dissolve the borders
Seems it never comes soon enough but the end is drawing near
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
Where's your dynasty gone?
You used to rule with a dark green mattress
Lying down in the sun
Leaving all the peasants breathless
Has your mystery dissolved?
Absolved yourself of your sins and left us
Painting over the walls
Where the mystics left their bread crusts
Seems it never comes soon enough but the end is drawing near
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
Every moment's a song
Disappearing if no one's listening
Over before it's begun
But someone's ear is always twisting
And if we follow the sun
Stretch out our branches expecting nothing
We'll round back to One
And our fingertips will end up touching
Seems it never comes soon enough but the end is drawing near
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years
We'll remember the tune with tender years

Rainy Day Vibrations
03:48
|
|||
|
I'll wake in the morning
exhausted and yawning
Still stoned from last night
Dazed and sleep deprived
Undone in the sunlight
Now I'm running from real life
Heart beats too fast
And memory can't rewind my dreaming mind
It's okay to fee afraid
Asleep at the wheel and wide awake
White lines rushing past us and out of view
Our destiny's looming and stars are blooming

Lost Satellites
04:37
|

|
I never thought that I'd be sailing sober in love
Through the storm clouds that paint violet horizons
Red skies at night will shine bright with what the future holds
And our song is sung in silence, lost in our eyes
I'll go and water the plants in the weekday sun
Have a smoke out the back and catch some rays
Can't help but smile to myself in private symphony
Life is easy when you're bright eyes and brave
Pictures that hang on the walls of my gallery
All the friends and the foes binding softly
Memories vague and surreal washing over me
So long ago young sorrow, lost in a dram
Now the tears come down and I stare at the sun, feeling one with it all
So at peace in my skin, walking slowly
Bare feet lost in the grass, falling forward
So young and hungry for tomorrow to come
For tomorrow to come

In Your Dreams
05:12
|
|||
|
Heavy eyelids start to fall
Beneath the dark blue mattress moon rise midnight sky
And the stars start crowding in
To keep you warm beneath the arch of velvet light
Ancient river, timeless sleep
Native shiver down your spine
Sleep tight baby, in your dreams
All's right baby, in your dreams
When the shadows start to crawl behind the light
And the curtains start to close
Don't you tremble in the dark
In time the sun will rise and the new horizon will glow
Ancient river, timeless sleep
Native shiver down your spine
Sleep tight baby, in your dreams
All's right baby, in your dreams
Stained glass churches window eyes
Ripples running away from me in the deep dark wild
All the leaves are falling down
Around the garden's curtains, seasons turning blue
Fast asleep on Autumn ground
Safe and sound, almost certain, dreaming of life with you
Ancient river, timeless sleep
Native shiver down your spine
Sleep tight baby, in your dreams
All's right baby, in your dreams
Sleep tight baby, in your dreams
All's right baby, in your dreams
I dedicate this hoedown to Sebastian......3..4!

Lost in the Temple
05:28
|
|||
|
Where in the world am I going to
Moving on and mostly feeling blue
Back to Ireland to retrace my roots
Or to the rain forests of Peru
To California where my love is waiting
Or West Australia where my heart is breaking in two
For you babe
Wherever have I come from
Over the hills and under the sun
Pregnant light in some distant dawn
Love at first sight back when God was born
I was always haunted by the mystery
By the casual sense of destiny
To find, to be me
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on
Where is this place where I'm living now
With half-closed eyes and a furrowed brow
Lost in the temple in a hungry crowd
I know the answer but I don't know how
Courage and kindness and some laughter to
Give us strength and lighten up the mood
My love, I'll go there with you
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on

Suspended Animation
03:26
|
|||
|
I'm in a state
Of suspended animation
Life's going great
Still I find I'm always waiting on something
I'm in a state
Of introspective contemplation
Raising the stakes
But my mind is prone to racing away from me
My spirit's always lost at sea
My spirit's always lost at sea
I'm in a state
Of ancient people and raging oceans
Bearing the weight
Of silent fruit that's breaking the branches that need love
When I'm in the states
We'll make new roots and we'll take our chances
And every morning I'll wake
And thank God Hollywood romances were based on truth
I never lost the red-white-blues
I never lost the red-white-blues
I never lost the red-white-blues
I never lost the red-white-blues

Downstream
03:42
|
|||
|
There's a mood and an order
And a changing of things
As we float here in the darkness
With our hearts in a ring
Twinkle little darling
'Til our eyes look the same
And our precious little partings
Are just candles from the flame
And the song of the river goes "downstream, downstream"
Found in the cathedral
Virgins shining through the glass
Into corners in the heart of Man
Where the weeping hours pass
Let the sun fall down around me
And the colours make their bed
Ancient traces, golden healing
Destined wedding, tender dead
And the song of the river goes "downstream, downsteam"
Dreaming by the ancient walls
Of Big Sur, breathing ocean salts
Me and lady in the sun
Counting slowly back to one
And the sunset's got you haloed
In a church of honeyed green
Eclipsing at the harbor
In the window of a dream
And the song of the river goes "downstream, downsteam"
And the song of the river goes "downstream, downsteam"
And the song of the river goes "downstream, downsteam"
And the song of the river goes "downstream, downsteam"

Paranoia at the pear;y gates
Stepping inside of The United States
Where unity falls and fear inflates
as the tightrope trembles slowly
Counting sheep and moaning in the maze
Sinking deep in the fever of an auburn haze
Can't fall asleep so I begin to pray
That we'll keep the temple holy
And will she let me in?
Can we breathe again?
Will there be fear in my eyes
When I reach the end?
Waking blinded int he rising sun
Where children laugh and cry and run
And I'm paralyzed when visions come
It's all too soon, too saintly
But shaking way my evening fears
how they ache and they ripple with the yawning years
Abandoned in stanzas of ancient gears
That turn to praise my lady
And will you let me in?
Can we breathe again?
Will there be fear in your eyes
When I reach the end?
Well I'll reach out my arms
And I'll sing your psalms
And I'll worship our love
While you read my palms
Being born to brazen fates
Where Californian summers wait
Carrying our careful weight
Like caravans suspended
Still we always knew it would come to this
Thrown suddenly over some dark abyss
To surrender to the throne of tenderness
Of leave destiny untended
Will you let me in?
Can we breathe again?
Will there be light in our eyes when we reach the end?
Oh babe, will you let me in?
Can we breathe again?
Will there be light in our eyes when we reach the end?
