Fading now the light
Sound replacing sight
And glowing from our stern
Green trails behind of all we've learned
Warm caressing skin
Breath of angels bring
A magic carpet, sailing joy
Her wake begins to sing
And rolling down the trades
In love as April twilight fades
To miles through gentle darkness run
Hail the stars and greet the sun!
One dimly glowing lantern's flame
To guard the sleeping crew at rest
While Maggie gently rocks and sings,
Her charge inside her loving nest
Fading now the light
Sound replacing sight
And glowing from our stern
Green trails behind of all we've learned
|
Wings before the wind
Quietly they do their task
Bowing softly to the breeze
A trident falls behind the mast
Respectfully we show
Our hands to gleaming gods
We lay our cards down, one by one
And try to win the shifting odds
A loom below the line
Reminds us that we're not the sole
Ship to pass beneath the gaze
Of gods and pay the dolphins toll
And rolling down the trades
In love as April twilight fades
To miles through gentle darkness run
To hail the stars and greet the sun
Fading now the light
Sound replacing sight
And glowing from our stern
Green trails behind of all we've learned

Peace and Goodbye
High-Fi Sample - Low-Fi Sample

In fini omnes sapientes erimus
Close the door, walk away
Everything's finished
Time has come around again
Face the light, shining path
I'll wait for you on the other side
You'll always have a friend
Eye to eye, heart to heart
And once again, we'll try to learn
We'll never be apart
Say goodbye, just for now
But Time, the grand illusion, carries
All of us inside her spell
|
Rain will fall through the leaves
And bless the weary traveler
Thanking on his knees
Moons and stars point the way
Kindred spirits gone before
Arms open in the light
Eye to eye, heart to heart
And once again we'll try to learn
We'll never be apart
Say goodbye, just for now
But Time, the grand illusion, carries
All of us inside her spell
In fini venia est
In fini omnes sapientes erimus

The Leaving
High-Fi Sample - Low-Fi Sample
|
|
Every one every white
Every where filling with light
Family coming every smiling
Take this hand, help me flying
|
Why so crying down and below
How will I tell them?
How will they know?
Becoming Light, rising tide
Leaving with Love
The Other Side

Lady M.
High-Fi Sample - Low-Fi Sample
| |
You put life into my hands
And hope into my soul
What started out as puppy love
Would grow beyond control
Elusive as the wind
Certain as the shore
You've given time untold
No one can ask for more
Marilyn, oh Marilyn
I love you, Lady M.
Light twinking in your eyes
Hugging softest of skin
And there you are
All brilliance again
|
Marilyn, oh Marilyn
I love you, Lady M.
I call to say I need you now
You rush into my room
You are so beautiful
A miracle plays again and again
Oh Marilyn, Marilyn
I love you, Lady M.
You are so beautiful
A miracle plays again, and again

An Impending Press of Canvas
High-Fi Sample -
Low-Fi Sample
|
|
Miles yet to go, you're surrounded by waves
Storm clouds approaching fast from behind
Taking in canvas, while we've got the time
Twisting and plunging, the waves start to rise
While a quick look below shows the glass start to fall
With Rainbow's bright promise (and other such lies)
King Neptune has come out to call
Oh...no!
|
While sitting in a flat calm awaiting a breath
Of angels to set on our sails once again
And Neptune has found us to be worthy of rest
And suffers us to sail and to love once again
Now she heels to her sails as she's starting to move
And nothing to lose...
Miles yet to go, we're surrounded by waves
Taking in sails while we've got the time!

Will I Be Wise?
High-Fi Sample - Low-Fi Sample
|
|
When I am old will I be wise?
Will I still see through this world's disguise?
When I've crossed all the streams
And I've heard all the smiles
Will I then see for miles upon miles?
The breeze brings the rain
And the stars see the years rolling by
And time doesn't matter
The sun doesn't want for the sky
When I am old will I be wise?
Will I hear difference between myriad sighs?
The breeze brings the rain
And the stars see the years rolling by
And time doesn't matter
The sun doesn't want for the sky
And leaves falling softly
The answers are suddenly clear
In this dream we called life
Only Love gave us nothing to fear
|
When I am old will I be wise?
Will I still see through this world's disguise?
Will I never know what elephants dream?
And that thunder is not where it seems?
The breeze brings the wind
And the stars see the years turning by
And time doesn't matter
The sun doesn't want for the sky
Will it all be the sweeter
When I know you in many such ways?
Will the pains of the Earth
Be swallowed in Winter Sun's rays?

Arm's Reach
High-Fi Sample - Low-Fi Sample
|
|
When you get tired of chasing your dreams
I'll still be at arm's reach
And when those Prince Charmings just ain't what they seemed
I'll still be at arm's reach
I'm just a call away if you've something to say
Right here at arm's reach
I see that glow when you've found a new package
Yeah that look in your eye
All the right manners, and just the right accent
And that fashionable tie
When are you going to believe that a box can be empty?
Yeah, and a mirage can be dry
And always at arm's reach
When all the hugs are gone, and everything's said
I'll still be at arm's reach
And after the innocent lying in bed
I'll still be at arm's reach
After the words don't come easy and we wish we'd stayed
Just a walking at arm's reach
Just dancing at arm's reach
Just talking at arm's reach
They'll never get inside of your arm's reach
Oh, no...

Sarah's Family
High-Fi Sample - Low-Fi Sample
|
|
What then became of Sarah's Family?
Where did we take ourselves?
Where did we go?
With all the old memories crowded in vines
And all the old loyalties drowning in wines
We'd cradled each memory, so carefully
What then became of Sarah's Family?
In Sarah's small home such a frugal girl lived
Playing her records, how she loved every song
Banana bread, and ice cold milk, and Zeppelins, and Cars
And two older ladies out waiting for stars
And everything tidy, and never a muss
And if anything got wasted
It surely was us
What then became of Sarah's Family?
Where did we take ourselves?
Where did we go?
With all the old memories crowded in vines
And all the old loyalties drowning in wines
We'd cradled each memory, so carefully
What then became of Sarah's Family?
Philip the Valiant and Paula the Fox
And Patrick the Quiet, not so easily swayed
And Mike's in the wings and he's ready to rock
And Sheri so certain of things to be played
She chilled up the Cella with never a fuss
And if anything got wasted
It surely was us
What then became of Sarah's Family?
Where did we take ourselves?
Where did they go?
With all the old places now covered in vines
And all our old faces covered in lines
When did the brightness get too dark to see?
What then became of Sarah's Family?
