China Roses

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Who can tell me if we have heaven,
Who can say the way it should be;
Moonlight holly, the sappho comet,
Angel’s tears below a tree.

You talk of the break of morning
As you view the new aurora,
Cloud in crimson, the key of heaven,
One love carved in acajou.

One told me of china roses,
One a thousand nights and one night,
Earth’s last picture, the end of evening:
Hue of indigo and blue.

A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
My dream, my way.

I know that if I have heaven
There is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me.

I see the sun.
I see the stars.

Lazy Days

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Lazy old day
Rolling away
Dreaming the day away
Don’t want to go
Now that I’m in the flow
Crazy amazing day

One red balloon
Floats to the moon
Just let it fly away
I only know
That I’m longing to go
Back to my lazy day

And how it sings and how it sighs
And how it never stays
And how it rings and how it cries
And how it sails away… away… away….

I Want Tomorrow

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Dawn breaks; there is blue in the sky.
Your face before me though I don’t know why.
Thoughts disappearing like tears from the moon.

Waiting here; as I sit by the stone
They came before me, those men from the sun.
Signs from the heavens say I am the one.

Chorus

Now I know; I can see your light,
This light that I must follow,
You -you could take my life away
-so far away.
Now I know; I must leave your spell
-I want tomorrow.

(the above lyrics for the chorus are taken from those printed in the
Sleeve of the japanese pressing by jimco records: following are the
Words which are almost undoubtably those actually sung)

Chorus

Now you’re here; I can see your light,
This light that I must follow,
You - you may take my life away
- so far away.
Now I know; I must leave your spell
-I want tomorrow.

Exile

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Cold as the northern winds
In december mornings,
Cold is the cry that rings
From this far distand shore.

Winter has come too late
Too close beside me.
How can I chase away
All these fears deep inside?

I’ll wait the signs to come.
I’ll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I’ll find a way home.

My light shall be the moon
And my path - the ocean.
My guide the morning star
As I sail home to you.

I’ll wait the signs to come.
I’ll find a way.
I will wait the time to come.
I’ll find a way home.

Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreamsqa boat
I will sail home to you.

A Day Without Rain

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time

And who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time…

(chants)

Who can say why your heart sighs,
As your love flies?
Only time…

And who can say why your heart cries,
When your love dies?
Only time…

(chants)

Who can say when the roads meet,
That love might be,
In your heart.

And who can say when the day sleeps,
The moon still keeps on moving
If the night keeps all your heart?
Night keeps all your heart…

(extended chants)

Who can say if your love grows,
As your heart chose?
Only time…

And who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows?
Only time…

Who knows?
Only time…

Who knows?
Only time…
