See
my love
So
sleepingly sad
See
my poet painter
Drawing
his words
How
I long for him to
Paint
me a poem picture
Of
himself for me
So
that I might see
See
my love
Ever
now resounding
Striking
the purest homes
To
colour his world
And
I long to know him
He
plans to leave tomorrow
Or
stay here with me
So
that I might see
See
him gazing up to nowhere
Or
is it some place I don´t know
That
he dreams of
But
he can´t go
He
can´t go
´Til
tomorrow
My,
my love
So
leaving me quiet
Off
to find his rainbow lady
Taking
his words
And
I long for him to
Send
me a poem treasure
From
some ancient sea
So
that I might see
See
my love 3x
She´s
a flying thing that sinks
With
her eyes like smokey rings
And
the sun can feel her presence in my sky
And
I think I´m gonna stay
Cause
there´s nothing in our way
And
she says that she can teach me how to fly
If
I can love her more than I have ever loved before
Then
tomorrow I´ll be standing at her door
And
when I hear her voice
I
have no other choice
But
to bend back my head and search the sky
Her
hair is done so fine
Cause
a smell like laughing wine
And
she says that she can teach me how to fly
If
I could give her all the things she´d never heard before
Then
tomorrow I´ll be standing at her door
To
see her walking by
Is
to see her windy sky
And
the clouds leave work done in her eyes
And
the softness of her skin
Makes
me wonder where I´ve been
And
she says that she can teach me how to fly
If
she could love me more than she has ever loved before
Then
tomorrow I´ll be standing at her door
She´s
a flying thing that sinks
With
her eyes like smokey rings
And
she says that she can teach me how to fly 3x
We
were listening at the doorway and
we heard the good men talkin´
We
were taken by the midnight and we heard the nightblue walkin´
We
were stolen by the magic and I´m glad I had her with me
And
I know that she would show me all that you would have –forgive me
And
it´s Wendy by the water, Wendy with the wind-chime eyes
And
I listen to her heartbeat so that I could truly hear her
And
her eyes were like the moonlight in a mirror on a mirror
And
I´ve seen you in her castle and I´ve seen you on the mountain
And
I´ve seen most of your gazes and I did not stop to count them
You
are Wendy by the water, Wendy with the wind-chime eyes
Wendy
by the water, Wendy with the wind-chime eyes
Now
she´s landing for me sweetly so that I could leave tomorrow
But
I need you in the morning even though I´ll leave tomorrow
And
I know I think about her even when she´s thinking of you
And
I know I truly love her and I know I truly love you
You
are Wendy by the water, Wendy with the wind-chime eyes
Wendy
by the water, Wendy with the wind-chime eyes
I
can see you with my eyes closed
I
can hear you like a musical sound
My
mind feels what my heart knows
Look
at all the circles and they´re all going round
Life
is only as real as you are
Beauty
is as beautiful as you can see
Love
is always real
I
can touch you just like the wind, oh
I
can give you what the wind gives to me
We
can show the world around us
The
lovely living beauty they want to see
Life
is only as real as you are
Beauty
is as beautiful as you can see
Love
is always real if you are
Love
lala
la lala la lala la lalala…
I
can see you with my eyes closed
I
can hear you like a musical sound
My
mind feels what my heart knows
Look
at all the circles and they´re all going round
Life
is only as real as you are
Beauty
is as beautiful as you can see
Love
is always real if you are
Love
is always real if you are
Love
is always real if you are
Love
Draw
bird the shaft of time
And
let it go
Follow
the sound of love
The
waters flow
You´re
the dreamer, you´re the dream
You´re
the stander in a circle of words
ah..
I´ll
come to hear his song, the one I know
And
when I´ll sing it to you
And
a tune to my love will grow
You´re
the lover, you´re the light
You´re
the candle in the flickering light
ah…
Our
love´s the words of a song
That
song to sing
You
can feel its silence swell
As
everything
You´re
the singer, you´re the song
You´re
the seeker in the light of the dawn
ah…
She´s
running head bent to the sun
Through
the evening shadows to the one
I
won´t tell her
what
she already knows
Flowers
broke her love
A
heart of golden glow
All
the children sing a song she sang
And
they´re playing in the meadow as they wait for her to come
I
won´t tell her
what
she already knows
Turning
through the patterns of life
Of
love I long to know
I
see the light
I
feel it drippeling through my lifestream
She´s
running head bent to the sun
With
the velvet secrets of the dawn
I
don´t tell her
What
she already knows
Flowers
fooled her love
A
heart of golden glow
I
see the light
I
would have been unhappy if you hadn´t come my way
I
could have been a nightbird if I hadn´t seen the day
Once
I had a daydream
All
this would come true
Everything
was waiting
For
me to come to you
And
everywhere I look
I
see the golden touch
Of
Love
ah…
I
wandered through the mountains and I thought of where you are
I
sailed into the ocean and I looked at every star
Once
I had a daydream
Of
the time you came to me
The
foolness of your presence
Is
the wing that waves me free
And
everywhere I look
I
see the golden touch
Of
Love
ah…
Ananda
my
Ananda
I
would have been unhappy if you hadn´t come my way
I
could have been a nightbird if I hadn´t seen the day
Once
I had a daydream
All
this would come true
Everything
was waiting
For
me to come to you
And
everywhere I look
I
see the golden touch
Of
Love
ah…
You
were involved with a dozen other loves last year
And
I was a-trying to conquer the world last year
But
I knew we´d meet again
And
that it would happen this way
Hey,
hey, hey
It´s
right for me
It´s
allright
It´s
allright for me
It´s
all
It´s
right for me
Hey,
hey, hey
You
never had the time to care all last year
And
I don´t remember if I was well last year
But
I knew we´d meet again
And
we´d get together this way
Hey,
hey, hey
It´s
right for me
It´s
allright
It´s
allright for me
It´s
all
It´s
right for me
Hey,
hey, hey
But
I knew we´d meet again
And
that it would happen this way
Hey,
hey, hey
It´s
right for me
It´s
allright
It´s
allright for me
It´s
all
It´s
right for me
Oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
Gone
are the hours we stood alone
Sleeping
in ancient sorrow
World
of your family´s still undone
This
is a long tomorrow
If
we could stretch our arms through a dream
We
would have looked them over
Standing
alone is the loneliest thing
Searching
for love from another
How
have you been? I tried to phone
I
know you thought about me
Could
there be something you don´t know
The
one you thought of is not me
If
we could fill their hearts with our love
They
might be sad to discover
The
feelings that they kept inside the moon
Would
be unloved forever
Gone
are the hours we stood alone
Sleeping
in ancient sorrow
World
of your family´s still undone
This
is a long tomorrow
If
we could fill their hearts with our love
They
might be sad to discover
The
feelings that they kept inside the moon
Would
be unloved forever
She
moves in gentle rhythms
As
the sun begins to fade
Her
feet upon the meadow dance
Where
violets have played
Silent
shadows steal the sunlight
But
the afterglow is sweet
The
scent of jasmin fills their soul
With
an even softer heat
I
never feel empty now
And
funny though it seems
I
never seem to have the urge
To
crawl into my dreams
I´ll
never be alone again
All
this can turn to dust
I
live each melting moment
And
love to know I must
I´ll
never be alone again
All
this can turn to dust
I
live each melting moment
And
love to know I must
Silent
shadows steal the sunlight
But
the afterglow is sweet
The
scent of jasmin fills their soul
With an even softer heat
Oh
Marcus, can I tell you a story
I
can, you know I can
Oh
Marcus, can I tell you a story
I
can, you know I can
I´m
gonna tell you a story
About
a fairy
She´ll
come and sprinkle yellow
In
your hair
She´s
right behind you now
And
almost on your shoulder
Don´t
turn around or
She
won´t be there
Oh
Marcus, can I tell you a story
I
can, you know I can
Oh
Marcus, can I tell you a story
I
can, you know I can
I´m
gonna tell you stories
About
your daddy
He´s
gonna walk in wrinkle
In
his shoes
He
doesn´t know he´s got that
Flying
power
But
that´s alright
Cause
I know it
And
so do you
Oh
Marcus, can I tell you a story
I
can, you know I can
Oh
Marcus, can I tell you a story
I
can, you know I can
I´ve
got a silver piece
To
put under your pillow
It´s
got a magic chain
It´s
ten miles long
It´ll
be there in the morning
When
the sunlight wakes you
It´ll
leave and be there, Marcus
When
I´m gone
Oh
Marcus, are you getting kind of sleepy
I
am, you know I am
Oh
Marcus, are you getting kind of sleepy
I
am, you know I am
I
am, you know I am
La
la, la la la la
La
la, la la la la
