Midight wine 04:09
Have you been searching? ‘Cause I’ve been waiting for life To catch us up Sneak on in and wake up my mind And your direction Has wound its way into me So I’ll float near by Rambling on in the back of your mind So I say cast your fears away Walk on the other side of nowhere My heart could stand the test of time So I say you and me lets drink The midnight wine And as the sunlight Chases the shadows around I’ll rest my eyes Sneak on in and wake up my mind To the moment Of every waking dream I’ll stand a while Till I start to smile So I say cast your fears away Walk on the other side of nowhere My heart could stand the test of time So I say you and me lets drink The midnight wine And as the moonlight Finds its way through the night I’ll sleep a while Sneak on out and chase through my mind And if it rains down I’ll be content with the rain Then it might seem fun To go out in the sun So I say cast your fears away Walk on the other side of nowhere My heart could stand the test of time So I say you and me lets drink The midnight wine

Where I lay 05:14
Why don’t you send A letter to your friend? And to your soul be true ‘Cause time can be so cruel And time is your best friend When shadows can’t pretend And since your feeling high Reach up through your mind Seven days A lifetime away Seconds fade Into the grey Of night Of day And in between Is where I lay So where’s your plan And do you feel this land Beneath your feet down low The mysteries it can show So tread your path any time Make sure you’re feeling fine I’ll be there all the while Be sure to where a smile Seven days A lifetime away Seconds fade Into the grey Of night Of day And in between Is where I lay I’ve heard a picture cry A verse that breathed a sigh And fortunes told by hand Of footprints in the sand But meanwhile you see A faded trace of me And faced with times big scheme One big unbroken dream Seven days A lifetime away Seconds fade Into the grey Of night Of day And in between Is where I lay

Some want to wake up In a city it's true Although the sky is dark It's watching you Before you sit back Behind those eyes Just spare the moment Breathe in your time Born listener Wonder it through Take yourself away from Your soul is true One day now Sooner than you think You'll wake up In a lullaby Some try to wake up On the right side of bed And fall into the Superstitious head My friend he wakes up With a tune in mind So Count your fortunes We so rarely find Born listener Wonder it through Take yourself away from Your soul is true One day now Sooner than you think You'll wake up In a lullaby I'm bound to wake up Falling back through the cloud Dreaming again, Watching for the break of dawn And as I gaze Through these ancient panes The moon awaits Calling through The midnight haze I'd like to see One last thing today Then fall away Wash into the dream of a night I'll keep on moving Round and round this way Born listener Wonder it through Take yourself away from Your soul is true One day now Sooner than you think You'll wake up In a lullaby

Ride 04:01
How come you seek my intention? How come you read into my eyes? How long in this psychic adventure? Am I to give all that I can hide? ‘Cause your superstition is a stranger to me I have been weary, but the dark side Is the other half of me Just pack your spirit Just take a walk and let it ride Don't call that card for the future Runestone don't say that all is bad Why can't you tell me bout the weather Forecast my journey into now ‘Cause your superstition is a stranger to me I have been weary, but the dark side Is the other half of me Just pack your spirit Just take a walk and let it ride Crystal ball don't shy now Cloud your space and tell me mine Treat my subconscious well now ‘Cause I don't know exactly what you'll find ‘Cause your superstition is a stranger to me I have been weary, but the dark side Is the other half of me Just pack your spirit Just take a walk and let it ride

Snowflake 03:57
Take no notice what I say Winter is on its way Looking for the pale sunlight Orion’s high tonight Walk on Fall down Walk in walk out It’s all about the snowflake Be it for the driving rain Would the seasons wash and drain Into fountains in our lives I’m not alone to wonder why Walk on Fall down Walk in walk out It’s all about the snowflake Shining through the ebony Lie the stars of destiny And way beyond the mountain tall A snowflake waits to fall Walk on Fall down Walk in walk out It’s all about the snowflake Last night I went to bed Bear in mind what I’ve said Could a dream be for my sake? Could it snow before I awake? Walk on Fall down Walk in walk out It’s all about the snowflake

Tides 04:29
Diana the moon Is looking tonight The clouds of my conscious Are clear And who can play this game Of runaround I’m talking 'bout moon beams Colours of Somewhere Different Within your mind We rise and fall With the Gaining Tides The wave of my fortune Has led me to here I've picked up some sand on the way And as for the blue skies They're in my head I'll save them for later Maybe tomorrow holds your Different ride Take a while Walk outside Something’s Different Within our minds We rise and fall With the Gaining Tides And clear out your worried mind Cos the time is drifting on by So pick up your worries and smile I do hope you stay for a While Been walking for hours And something is wrong In my path stands a Change of direction And I'll choose the road Less travelled by them In the hope of some Freedom Valleys to throw your thoughts down Take a while Look around Breathe Something’s Different Within our minds We rise and fall With the Gaining Tides And now I can sit here And take it all in The past and the future meet now And as for the dreams They'll still come around To knock on my door And follow me under This life Don't try Just keep your head Wonder why Something’s Different Within our minds We rise and fall With the Gaining Tides

Well I don't care for a worried mind If you want to hide yourself We all have are own space it time Choose people all around you Pick it up Turn around Don't throw it away call it back for another day What it all boils down to Well I've met people who understand That if your mind is free You can travel on the breeze across this land Of season, frosted sunlight Take a breath Look around Watch the time go slow in your minds eye What it all boils down to Take it for granted or taking our time I can see clearly my life is in rhyme Talk on a Thursday Well I nearly froze Friday the fog clears what it's down to who knows Well I've flown in an airplane Cross kingdoms of old Don't forget to look down my friend ‘Cause the earth maybe where you make your fall Four seasons rest on time Pick it up turn around Don't throw it away ‘Cause you live here anyway What it all boils down to is the space around you

Walkaway 04:00
See the fog roll in Cross the bay I see her house from here It’s not that far away I’m walking down through Foreign soil I take my time through this Unfamiliar mortal coil And if you’d care to sit right back In time you’ll figure out where you’ve been at And it would take forever more For me to say Walk away Do you think it’s time? Do you think it’s right? Do you think it’s wrong? For me to Burn so bright And would you say I was on your side I’m fairly sure by now This ways right And if you’d care to sit right back In time you’ll figure out where you’ve been at And it would take forever more For me to say Walk away It sure is high outside The roof is tall And since you’re passing by Please don’t fall And if you stumble over Leaves of green Be sure to laugh away All you’ve seen And if you’d care to sit right back In time you’ll figure out where you’ve been at And it would take forever more For me to say Walk away It sure is peaceful here By the sea If only distant friends Could be here with me But then we share the days Long and slow At least we share the nights And wherever the stars will go And if you’d care to sit right back In time you’ll figure out where you’ve been at And it would take forever more For me to say Walk away

She's into magic And all kinds of tragic emotions She knows we tangle With all kinds of angles To live around here But knowing two sides To every equation will chase you Beware your wishes ‘Cause they might come back to haunt you Right down in the bottom Deep down I guess you've got a spell in mind She's bored with preachers And all kinds of teachers are wasted She draws her powers From all kinds of flowers around here And if your in two minds To mess with the space that surrounds you Don't cross the woman With the spider web as a tattoo Right down in the bottom Deep down I guess you've got a spell in mind She says she's lived here For more than a lifetime before you She's seen the crossroads The dark side to all those feelings And if you think you could Just walk into her meditation Look for the shadow In the fire of her celebration Right down in the bottom Deep down I guess you've got a spell in mind Don't say I didn't warn you Deep down There's a spell within you

You 05:57
My friend I can see you're down Took the wrong turn And now you’re spinning around I will Break your fall In time I will the future to strengthen your past And keep the memories Of the things that don't last All my Waking hours I'll find I wonder if I could Change your mind It wouldn't be my kind of Sailboat ride Coincidence follows us Down the line But Better still Know we shared some time As you figure out enduring the strain Take your dream And before you follow the crowds I will, Lend my ear Again To wake the feeling of feeling o.k. To break the tangles Of life in your way We walk Through these worlds To see I wonder if I could Change your mind It wouldn't be my kind of Sailboat ride Coincidence follows us Down the line But Better still Know we shared some time My Friend you have dug into me Causing ripples to take me To lands I've not seen I will Call on you In Time And while I'm waiting for life to unfold And trying to keep all the memories of old I wish You were here With me I wonder if I could Change your mind It wouldn't be my kind of Sailboat ride Coincidence follows us Down the line But Better still Know we shared some time

Leash 04:01
Winter has lost the road Down and out in the cold Like the man In the sun With a long forgotten land Oceans rise up for me My name is man Like the stars In the night Unfamiliar to this land Many roamed through forests wild A long time ago Now the sun Heats the ground Like the fire in our eyes Choke the land, an ancient race And call it back for more Cut the leash Call no more And let it live its waking days
12.
Embers 03:10
Don’t take my fire And run away To burn my walls down Up in flames Chain of friends gather round The time is taken So don’t you frown Photograph Make still my past Stir the embers Of long burnt wax The candles flame Has burnt away And still it warms The me of today A starry sky Falls tonight A traveler breaks His silent flight And journeys back To be with friends Just like so long ago back then Time Embers

I hope your getting All your betting on life Or are you searching for something That’s lurking inside? Maybe you'll get back to me later The door is open You know I'd love to save you From troubled times When nothing goes quite right I will listen If you speak of what you know I want to wake up And remember what I've been shown Maybe you'll get back to me later The door is open You know I'd love to save you From troubled times When nothing goes quite right Are you dreaming Of something that’s seeming so real? Or are you finding The pressures of winding this wheel? I'd love to save you Maybe you'll get back to me later The door is open You know I'd love to save you From troubled times When nothing goes quite right
