CALLING TO THE SUN Night's coming What happened to the day Feels like winter Is never far away So I'm calling I'm calling to the sun Come find me And shine on everyone Gentle autumn Turning red and brown Your leaves will soon be Falling to the ground I'm still calling I'm calling to the sun Come find me And shine on everyone Shine Shine Your red brick houses Glistening with rain Now it's time to Put away the blame I wish you'd take Your flags down I wish you'd take Your flags down Cos you could shine Shine ***********

Born Of Sea 03:25
BORN OF THE SEA I held your ashes Under the sun They shone like diamonds And I knew you weren't gone Because we are just water Born of the sea And it's never an ending You're flowing through me ************
3.
Only Love 04:56
ONLY LOVE Forget about your gods Forget about your gold Listen to the wind Cos where the wind blows There is only love Between a birth and ageing There is only love There is only love Between the wars we're waging And if you don't know Then you will If you just let it flow Then it will Just listen to the wind Listen to the wind I can hear the sound Music's all around The wind is singing That there is only love There is only love It's in the breezes bringing And if you don't know Then you will If you just let it flow Then it will So find a way to look within The grace of love is everything The clouds are just like angels' wings And if you listen You can hear the wind Singing That there is only love There is only love There is only love There is only love Just listen to the wind Listen to the wind *********

TWILIGHT ENTWINED My wounds are healing I'm still breathing And it was too long in coming Too long in coming But I got my body back I got everything And it was too long in coming Too long in coming back Now I am midnight Moonflesh my skylight So blend into me Bleed with me tonight Because your twilight's got me Your twilight's got me entwined And over these waters I'll shine my torchlight Into your moonshine eyes Into your twilight skies And dream of your body And dream of you with me And it's no wonder I can't sleep tonight Because your twilight's got me Your twilight's got me entwined And it's been a long time in coming But now it's all coming back And now I'm breathing I'm breathing Because your river Reached me Tonight **********

HOMESICK FOR SKIES The blue of the day Your shimmering skyline I'm so far away But always it's you I come back to You Your indigo sea With the velvet of nightfall Will always be free And always it's you I come back to No matter how far I go I'll always be yours you know So bring me the sigh Of your African skyline To your oceans I'm tied And you'll always be mine No matter how far I go I'll always be yours you know *****************

On A Breeze 03:46
ON A BREEZE Just another melody I heard it through the trees Softly your voice calling me Somewhere on a breeze When you left me I was cold inside Silence covered me How I hated those familiar songs But still they followed me And music Would start me crying Now I play for you every day Songs of the sea Each note is a tiny prayer To you from me Sent on A breeze Why did you have to leave me Why couldn't you have stayed Just a little bit longer Why couldn't you have stayed ************

IN THAT SILENCE --------- The silver lightship In the starry sky Is so much older Than you and I So I'll try my best My best to forget I'll try my best My best to forget you The golden night shift A gentle sigh It takes so long to To say goodbye But I'll try my best My best to forget I'll try my best My best to forget What you said in that silence What you said in that silence What you said in that silence Light comes through darkness This pain may die Still takes so long to To say goodbye But I'll try my best My best to forget I'll try my best My best to forget you And what you said in that silence What you said in that silence What you said in that silence **********

CHILD OF ANCESTORS Please, please God of the trees Don't let me go Before I know you Please, please God of the seas Don't let me go Before I know you And all my ancestors Rise up tonight And hold me close in silence And all my ancestors Rise up tonight With blood of your non-violence So please, please God of the trees Don't let me go Before I know you *********
