A word to the wise:
The more people have,
The more they want.
After the clouds, Phoebus

From beginning to end

Lift your heart


Walk through the storms

Great Journey
Heavy, through the storms

Long Journey
Look through the storms

"Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)"

Let me sail, let me sail


Let the orinoco flow
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow Sea
De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De

Sail away,sail away, sail away [x4]

From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon


From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea

De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De


Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh

Sail away, sail away, sail away [x4]

From the North to the South


Ebudae into Khartoum
From the deep sea of Clouds
To the island of the moon
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never seen

We can sail, we can sail


With the orinoco flow
We can sail, we can sail...(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel
We can sigh, say goodbye
Ross and his dependency
We can sail, we can sail...(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)

"Storms In Africa (II)"

Though I walk through


Warm sands in Africa
Winds will grow soon
To storms in Africa.

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
Will journey this way?

Dark skies fall on


Black earth and ivory.
Far from your sun
Clouds now close over me

How far to go
I cannot say.
How many more
Will journey this way?

Storms have come!


Rains wash the earth away
Dark skies fall down
Into another day.
Rains have now come
From storms in Africa
Time will go on
Through Storms in Africa
"Caribbean Blue"

Eurus
Afer Ventus

So the world goes round and round


With all you ever knew
They say the sky high above
Is Caribbean blue...

If every man says all he can


If every man is true
Do I believe the sky above
Is Caribbean blue...

... Boreas...
... Zephyrus...

If all they told was turned to gold


If all you dreamed was new
Imagine the sky high above
In Caribbean blue...

... Eurus...
Afer Ventus...
... Boreas
Zephyrus...
... Africus...

"How Can I Keep From Singing?"

My life goes on in endless song


Above earth's lamentation
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife


I hear its music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?

While though the tempest loudly roars


I hear the truth, it liveth
And though the darkness 'round me close
Songs in the night it giveth

No storm can shake my inmost calm


While to that rock I'm clinging
Since love is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile


Our thoughts to them are winging
When friends by shame are undefiled
How can I keep from singing?

"Angeles"

Angels, answer me,


Are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
You will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure words will never do.
Surely, if this is,
Promises are mine to give you.
Mine to give...

Here, all too soon the day!


Wish the moon to fall and alter tomorrow.
I should know
Heaven has her way
Each one given memories to own.

Angeles, all could be


Should you move both earth and sea
Angeles, I could feel
All those dark clouds disappearing...

Even, as I breathe
Comes an angel to their keep.
Surely, if this is
Promises are mine to give you.
Mine to give...

"Marble Halls"

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls


With vassals and serfs at my side,
And of all who assembled within those walls
That I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
And a high ancestral name.

But I also dreamt which pleased me most


That you loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same.

I dreamt that suitors sought my hand,


That knights upon bended knee
And with vows no maidens heart could withstand,
They pledged their faith to me.
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
Came forth my hand to claim.

But I also dreamt which charmed me most


That you loved me still the same
That you loved me
You loved me still the same,
That you loved me
You loved me still the same.

"Anywhere Is"

I walk the maze of moments


But everywhere I turn to
Begins a new beginning
But never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
And there I find another
It all seems so surprising
And then I find that I know

You go there you're gone forever


I go there I'll lose my way
If we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

The moon upon the ocean


Is swept around in motion
But without ever knowing
The reason for its flowing
In motion on the ocean
The moon still keeps on moving
The waves still keep on waving
And I still keep on going

You go there you're gone forever


I go there I'll lose my way
If we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

I wonder if the stars sign


The life that is to be mine
And would they let their light shine
Enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
But night has clouded over
No spark of constellation
No Vela no Orion

The shells upon the warm sands


Have taken from their own lands
The echo of their story
But all I hear are low sounds
As pillow words are weaving
And willow waves are leaving
But should I be believing
That I am only dreaming

You go there you're gone forever


I go there I'll lose my way
If we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

To leave the thread of all time


And let it make a dark line
In hopes that I can still find
The way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning
Still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
It's either this or that way
It's one way or the other
It should be one direction
It could be on reflection
The turn I have just taken
The turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end

"China Roses"

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.

"Once You Had Gold"

Once you had gold,


Once you had silver,
Then came the rains
Out of the blue.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
Time gave both darkness and
dreams to you.

Now you can see


Spring becomes autumn,
Leaves become gold
Falling from view.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream come true,
Time gave both darkness and
dreams to you.

What is the dark;


Shadows around you,
Why not take heart
In the new day?
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream for you,
Time gave both darkness and
dreams to you.
"The River Sings"

Our words go beyond the moon.


Our words go into the shadows.
The river sings the endlessness.
We write of our journey through night.
We write in our aloneness.
We want to know the shape of eternity.

Who knows the way it is?


Who knows what time will not tell us?

Mountains, solitude and the moon


Until the journey's end?
The river holds the lost road of the sky;
The shape of eternity?

Who knows the way it is?


Who knows what time will not tell us?

Where is the beginning?


Where is the end?
Why did we fall into days?
Why are we calling out into the endlessness?

Who knows the way it is?


Who knows what time will not tell us?

"It's In The Rain"

Every time
The rain comes down,
Close my eyes and listen.
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of the sky as it cries.

Listen to the rain


Here it comes again
Hear it in the rain

Feel the touch


Of tears that fall
...They won't fall forever
In the way the day will flow
All things come,
All things go.

Listen to the rain


...The rain...
Here it comes again...
...Again...
Hear it in the rain
...The rain...

Late at night
I drift away -
I can hear you calling,
And my name
Is in the rain,
Leaves on trees whispering,
Deep blue sea's mysteries.

Even when
This moment ends,
Can't let go this feeling.
Everything
Will come again
In the sound,
Falling down,
Of the sky as it cries.
Hear my name in the rain.

"Someone Said Goodbye"

Summer. When the day is over


There's a heart a little colder;
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.
Somewhere there is someone keeping
All the tears they have been weeping,
Someone said goodbye,
But you don't know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.

Always looking for a meaning,


All the time you keep believing,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.
Even when the sun is shining
You don't see the silver lining,
But I don't know why
You won't say goodbye.
Is there a reason
Why a broken dream can never fly?
Is there a reason
You believe and then you close your eyes?
Give me a reason
Why you hide away so much inside.
If there's a reason,
I don't know why.

Is there a reason
Why a broken heart begins to cry?
Is there a reason
You were lost although you don't know why?
Give me a reason
Why you never want to say goodbye.
If there's a reason
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.

"A Moment Lost"

It's only now when words are said


That break my heart in two,
I wonder how you can endure
All I've said, all I say to you.

How strong, how brave, how true of you


To bear the hurt I gave.
I know it tears your heart in two:
All I've said, all I say to you.

After all the words are said,


After all the dreams we made;
Every one a precious one,
Every one a summer sun...

A moment lost, forever gone,


Can never be again,
So know how much it means to me;
All you said,
All you gave,
All your love to me.
"Water Shows The Hidden Heart"

From the City of Constellations


To the wanderer
And a Place of Rains
He journeys on...
...The City of hesitation and doubt
The Island of the house of the colour of the sea
The Plain of Mementoes
He journeys on to find his love...
...The Valley of lost time
The City of End and Endlessness
The Isle of Revenents
He journeys on...
...The City of Solitudes
The City of the distance from you
The City of Words of blue
And yellow and red and green
He journeys on to find his love...

...Where the road takes him through


The City of Sleep
The thinking that does not end is within him
Then he dreams
The road takes him
This man who is searching
It brings him
In silence through the night

Where the Cities that do not Exist, exist


It brings him
In silence through the night
Close to the City of Realisations;
It is here one finds the way...
...Mount Orison
The City of Days
The Tree of the lost
He journeys on...
...North of his love
A road through a valley of darkness
The islands that are not of this world
He journeys on to find his love...

It is a long way through darkness


To the way of the eremite
The eremite sings of the world and of
The journey of love, which is not lost in eternity
...The Valley where the moon is caught in the trees
Water shows the hidden heart
Endlong into midnight
He journeys on...
...The parable of day
The Room of Books
Where the winds come to him and say...

"Book Of Days"

O la go la, mo thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
O oiche go hoiche, mo thuras,
na scealta nach mbeidh a choich.

[Translation]

From day to day, my journey,


The long pilgrimage before me.
From night to night, my journey,
The stories that will never be again.

"The Frog Prince"

Deep in my dreams,
I saw you close by my side.
And the words you said to me,
made me reel down deep inside.

My hand in your hand,


so warm and so lovingly.
Leaving all my dreams behind,
wonder who my prince will be?

[Chorus:]
What is this wonder,
that love can make you feel?
Am I deep now in slumber,
or is my prince real?

Now, now my dream,


is standing close by my side.
Saying words I wish to hear,
and I'm reeling deep inside.

[Chorus]

Morning has come,


my dreams are left far behind.
As I walk through Paris streets,
I know now what I shall find.
This smile on my face,
will carry a love I have known.
Like a fairytale come true,
oh, what joy this love has shown

"Only Time"

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.

Who can say why your heart sighs


As your love flies?
Only time.
And who can say why your heart cries
When your love lies?
Only time.

Who can say when the roads meet


That love might be in your heart?
And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart,
Night keeps all your heart?

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.

"May It Be"
(from "The Lord Of The Rings" soundtrack)

May it be an evening star


Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)


Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call


Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)


Believe and you will find your way

Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)


A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now
