Two hands
Oh, they're touching
They're touching each other, they're feeling
They push and move,
And love each other,
Love each other
They fit together
like two hands
Two hands
am a face
In the painting on the wall.
I pose and shudder,
And watch from the foot of the bed.
Sometimes I think
I can feel
Everything
(Piano solo)
The wind is blowing
My hair in their direction
The wind is bending my hair
There are no windows in the painting
No open windows,
No open windows, no
Noo
Oh they're touching,
They're touching each other.
They push and move and,
They love each other,
They love each other,
They fit together
Like two hands
Two hands
Two hands

Matte Kudasai
Still
by the window pane,
Pain
like the rain that's falling
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai
She sleeps
in a chair
In her sad America.
When
when was the night so long,
Long
like the notes he’s sending.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
Oooooooooooooo
Ooo
(Instrumental)
I’ll be home soon
Soon, soon, soon
to cry on your shoulder,
Your shoulder
The tears of a waiting man
(Tears of a waiting man)
(Instrumental)
When, when was the night so long,
Long, like the notes he’s sending.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
(Instrumental)

I need to feel your heartbeat,
So close, it feels like mine
All mine
I need to feel your heartbeat,
So close it feels like mine
All mine
[Chorus]
I remember the feeling
Of your hands in my hair
I remember the feeling
Of the rhythm we made
The rhythm we made
I wanna feel your heartbeat,
I wanna feel your heartbeat, heartbeat
Right next to me
Right next to me
—————————————————————
(organ solo)
I need to feel your heartbeat
So close, it feels like mine
All mine
I need to feel your heartbeat,
Your heartbeat
So close it feels like mine
All mine
[Chorus]uuuuum
I remember the feeling
Of your hands
in my hair
I remember the feeling
Of the rhythm we made
You need to land
Sometime
I need to feel your heartbeat, your heartbeat
So close to mine
Right next to me
[Instrumental]
Right next to me
Right next to me
Right next to me

Moonchild

Moonchild
Call her Moonchild
Dancing in the shallows
Of a river
Lovely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadows
Of the willow.
Talking to the trees
of the cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps
of a fountain
Waving silver wands
to the night-birds song
Waiting for the Sun
on the mountain.
She’s a Moonchild
Gathering the flowers
In a garden.
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes
Of the hours.
Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones
On a Sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smiiile
From a Sun child

Inner Garden
Autumn has come
to rest
In her garden
Come to paint the trees
with emptiness
And no pardon
So many things
have come undone
Like the leaves on the ground
And
suddenly she
begins to cry
But she doesn't know why
Vibes solo
Heavy are the words
that fall through the air
To burden her shoulders
Caught up in the trees
Her soliloquy,
"Don't leave me alone"
(Vibes Instrumental)
Rome now comes
To sit
in her garden
mingling the breeze
with memories
of a time when
There was a room
in pale yellow hues
Her room with a view
where
love made a bed
of happiness
in muslin and lace
(Instrumental)
Sweet is the voice
from far away
that speaks sotto voce
and
is lingering there
in the golden air
to quiet the day

One Time
One eye
Goes laughing,
One eye
goes crying
Through the trials
and trying
of one life
One hand
is tied,
One step
gets behind
In one breath
we're dying
Ahaaa
I've been waiting for the sun
to come up
Waiting for the showers
to stop
Waiting for the penny
to drop
One time
And I've been standing
in a cloud
of plans
Standing
on the shifting sands
Hoping
for an open hand
One time
Flute and oboe Instrumental
(Eyes wide open)
Here comes a knock on the door
Open it
For
an opportunity
(Oboe)
There it was
And what did you do?
It was another day
For memories
Here it comes
Here it comes
Another day
(Flute)
One eye
goes laughing,
One (pop) eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying
of one life
One hand is tied,
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying
Ahaaa
I've been waiting for the sun
to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop
One time
And I've been standing
in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand
Just one time
Just one time
(Flute and oboe)
It was a perfect take
And were you asleep
or awake?
There it was
It was the perfect time
To speak your mind
And there it was
It was the chance of a lifetime
It flew riiiight by
And what did you do?

Peace
02:26
|
|
||
Peace is a word of the sea
and the wind
Peace is a bird
who sings
as you smile
Peace is the love
of a foe
as a friend
Peace is the love
you bring
To a child
(Chorus)
Searching for me,
You look everywhere
Except beside you,
Searching for you,
You look everywhere
But not inside you
Peace is a stream
From the heart of a man
Peace is a man,
whose breath
Is the dawn
Peace is a dawn
On a day
without end
Peace is the end,
like death
of the war

Book of Saturday
05:04

If I only could deceive you,
Forgetting the game.
Every time I try to leave you
You laugh just the same.
'Cause your wheels
never touch the road
And the jumble of lies we’re told
Just returns to my back
to weigh me down
We lay cards upon the table
The backs of our hands
And I swear I like your people
The boys in the band
Reminiscences gone astray
Coming back to enjoy the fray
In a tangle of night
and daylight soounds
Harp and flute
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo
All completeness
in the morningasleep on my side
You’ll be waking up the crewmen
Banana-boat ride
I respond like a limousine
Brought alive on the silent screen
To the shuddering breath
Of yeesterdaaaay
There's the succor of the needy
Incredible scenes
I'll believe you in the future
Your life and death dreams
As the cavalry of despair
Takes a stand in the lady's hair
For the favor of making
Sweet sixteen
You make my life and times
A book of bluesy Saturdays
And I have to choose
Harp and flute

Exiles
Now,
In this far away land
Strange
that the palms
of my hands
Should be damp
with expectancy.
Spring
and the air's turning mild.
City lights,
and the glimpse
of a child
Of the alley way
infantry.
(Instrumental)
Piano
Friends
do they know what I mean?
Rain
and the gathering green
Of an afternoon
out-of-town.
Bridge
But Lord I had to go
My trail was laid too slow
behind me.
To face the call of fame
Or make a drunkard's name
for me.
Though, now this better life
Has brought a different understanding.
And through these endless days
Shall come a broader
Sympathy.
And though I count the hours
To be alone's
no injury.
My home
was a place
by the sand,
Cliffs
and a military band
Blew an air
of normality.
Doo, doo, do do do
doo doo do do do
Ooo ooo oh
(Pause)
Aaaaaa
aah, aah,aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
aah aah

Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, ejaculations

People fly,
People flee
People clam and say "it wasn't me"
People fish,

People on the tube
Walking on the moon
People at the bottom of the sea
People in tombs
People in igloos
Even a tribe of pixies

Turning the world around
People,

Spinning this world upside down

People pay to see two people box
Watch me, face me
Dress me, baby me

Sleepless
In the dream
I
fall into the sleepless sea
With a swell
of
panic
and pain
My veins
are
aching
for the distant reef.
In the crush
of
emotional waves
Alright,
get a hold of yourself
don't fight it,
it's over your head
It's alright,
the rumble in your ears
It's alright
to feel a little fear
Don't fight it,
it's over your head
It’s alright,
you wake up in your bed
Silhouettes
like
shivering ancient feelings
They co-
ver
my foreign floors and walls
Submarines
are
lurking
on my foggy ceiling.
They keep
me
sleepless
at night.
Well, can you pull me out
of this sleepless night?
of this sleepless night?
Hey yay
Can you pull me out?
Hey,
Can you pull me out?
Hey, hey
