Start From The Heart
04:50
|
|||
|
If you start from the heart then the body will rise
And if you start from the soul then the heart will shine
And it's all about finding the right time
To make a point to cherish those insides
And if such actions are taken, then the body will find
That those instinctual pleasures come from the mind
So if you begin from a place of solidarity, of common space
You will find we'll coincide on those ideas, those feelings of our time
And it's all about keeping the soul alive
Though the mind may succeed, the conscience will fail
Yes though the mind may succeed, the conscience will fail
Yeah though the mind may succeed, the conscience will fail
To be blind
So if you find a feasible solution to all those lines you may try
Then take a hint, take a wince, take a moment to analyze
It's not the light that you may shine
But rather the reflection in your eyes
Yes it's just a matter of distance from the the source
Yes it's just a matter of distance from the the source
Yes it's just a matter of distance from the the source
Yes it's just a matter of distance from the the source
To the sight
And as the body ages, the soul begins to fly
And you will realize that satisfaction is the climax
Of the life

Song For Daniel
05:18
|

|
Well, I remember when we were a little bit younger
And back then I called you my best friend
And though the times might have changed
I wouldn't trade them for any other
Yeah I love those memories and I'll cherish them until the very end
And it's all about how to make the moments last
It's about hanging on to the present before it turns past
It's about loving every little obstacle that your life may give
And if this is the only life that I have, it's gonna be the one I want to live
So some might say that it helped in building character
For stuck with it in both the highs and the lows
And were the decisions made there the best?
Well, I'm not so sure
But as we walk down this trail, we notice the fork in the road
And it's all about how to make the moments last
It's about hanging on to the present before it turns past
It's about loving every little obstacle that your life may give
And if this is the only life that I have, it's gonna be the one I want to live
So I guess this is the point where I get off
For I left that town, yes I left my past behind
And it seems like every incident in which I've been lost
You've helped me find my way back to what feels right
And it's all about how to make the moments last
It's about hanging on to the present before it turns past
It's about loving every little obstacle that your life may give
And if this is the only life that I have, it's gonna be the one I want to live

Chameleon Eyes
04:01
|

So it's all in the work of the heart
Containing all the keys of the art
Of courtship before the night has it's part
From the new light and a new day to start
And if the Summer comes this year, it'll be more understood
How the rain and the snow reflects the inner good
And I want something new for my skin to feel
Oh how I long for something I believe is real
So the brain often spirals my sense of time
And it's the owner's curse in believing these moments go by
And I'm not out to profit this livelihood
I just want a source of remorse more understood
And if the Summer comes this year, it'll be more understood
How the rain and the snow reflects the inner good
And I want something new for my skin to feel
Oh how I long for something I believe is real
So refrain those common strains you may hide
For it's less of the mood and more of the mind
And like how an infection may flow if infected right
It begins with controlling your chameleon eyes
And if the Summer comes this year, it'll be more understood
How the rain and the snow reflects the inner good
And I want something new for my skin to feel
Oh how I long for something I believe is real

The Silence
03:24
|
|||
|
In the meek hours of the silence
Laying still with our bodies and our mouths kept quiet
Just perfection in its pristine state with no reason to deny it
Though it takes such an ache to finally realize it
And I've been burning bridges that I know I'll need to cross
Not realizing how great a love is, until that love is lost
And I know now the feeling of a love so intertwined
But the beauty didn't prolong until the end of time
And I want to live in that dream
Yes I want to live in that dream
Yeah I want to live in that dream
Oh I want to live in that dream
So I'm left with a broken heart by the time I feel empty inside and
I'm contemplating the body's existence when the mind just wants to die
And if you've never truly loved, then you've never truly lived
And I always truly hoped that the love would never end
And I want to live in that dream
Yes I want to live in that dream
Yeah I want to live in that dream
Oh I want to live in that dream

Soul Sailor
04:33
|

We're the soul sailors sailing on home
We're gonna find out little hearts of gold
We're gonna see the world and what it has to hold
Oh we're the soul sailors sailing on home
We're gonna find out little hearts of gold
We're gonna see the world and what it has to hold
And I might not be the greatest man
And I might not have the warmest hands
But there's no crossing my fingers
When I swear that I love you
And I might not be the type of guy
That you'd want to spend the rest of your life with
But I hope you can at least say
You love me too
Oh we're the soul sailors sailing on home
We're gonna find out little hearts of gold
We're gonna see the world and what it has to hold
Oh we're the soul sailors sailing on home
We're gonna find out little hearts of gold
We're gonna see the world and what it has to hold
But if you're searching for a lengthy love
Or a star-crossed lover from the heavens above
I hope you might pick me from among the stars
But if that's not your obligation
Well, then that wasn't really my inclination
And I guess I'll have to keep searching for my heart of gold
Oh we're the soul sailors sailing on home
We're gonna find out little hearts of gold
We're gonna see the world and what it has to hold
Oh we're the soul sailors sailing on home
We're gonna find out little hearts of gold
We're gonna see the world and what it has to hold

Mirror
01:54
|
|||
|
Do you hear the sound?
Is that a hint of crying?
It must be coming from the man
We've all known sometime
He has a broken heart
Don't know where to start
He is empty inside
And doesn't care if he dies
And you ask him what's wrong?
And his problems are yours
He feels the pain you feel
And that's all that he feels
And you think you know his name
For he looks familiar
And then you realize
You're looking in a mirror

Heart Of My Heart

From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul 'wakin'
From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul takin'
From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul breathin'
And breathin' breathin' breathin'
And from the heart of my heart I can feel my soul a risin'
From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul dyin'
From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul breathin'
And breathin' breathin' breathin'
And from the heart of my heart I can feel my soul rise
From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul kiss the sky
From the heart of my heart I can feel my soul flyin'
flyin' flyin' and dyin' flyin' and lovin' and leavin'
and leavin' and leavin'

Lover for another
I couldn't wait all that time
Fever, just a leaver
Though not abandoned, still petrified
The decisions, no revisions
No real chance to refine
Though the soil, too big a toil
And different voices on different sides
And I love you and I leave you and I die
With only dreams of your arms open wide
But not even the dream was kept alive
Yes, it's a bitter change only you could decide
So I closed my eyes
And a new life arrived
Yes I closed my eyes
And you had already said goodbye
Goodbye
Yes, I'm just a little dot beneath the Earth's little sky
And I guess I floated away in this stream of time
Yes, I'm just a little dot beneath the Earth's little sky
And I guess that I floated away in this stream of time
And I never thought I'd die if I never truly lived
And I never thought you'd cry from the love you couldn't give
But this wasn't a result of anything that you did
Though the strings have been cut, leaving just two lives to live

It's so quiet out here on these suburban streets
Not even a car or a train can be heard
Yeah this town has a population, but it feels like it's only me
Now that the snow has come and covered this Earth
But all this is going to melt
And all this ice is going to thaw
And it might take awhile before I see everyone else
But a temporary solitary life isn't too bad after all
Yeah those layers of white Winter are so thick
And if I laid down I'd be swallowed whole
But I wouldn't want to do such a thing unless I wanted to get sick
And my health is something that I'd rather keep controlled
But all this is going to melt
And all this ice is going to thaw
Yeah, it might take awhile before I see everyone else
But a temporary solitary life isn't too bad after all
So as a child I always wanted a snow day
And now that day, that day has come
But I no longer live a life in such a childlike state
Yeah I've forgotten just exactly where I've come from
And all this is going to melt
And all this ice is going to thaw
And it might take awhile before I see everyone else
But a temporary solitary life isn't too bad after all
Yeah all this is going to melt
And all this ice is going to thaw
And it might take awhile before I see everyone else
But a temporary solitary life isn't too bad after all

The Beautiful Land
02:14

The beautiful land I see
Oh It's all around me
The beautiful, the beautiful land
From the breath of the ocean breeze
To the tops of the Doug Fir trees
Oh this is where I want to be
In the beautiful land
Now I took a trip, left home
To the Northern port sea
And once more to the neighboring country
And now I'm in love with the beautiful land
The beautiful land I see
Oh It's all around me
oh oh, oh oh, the beautiful land
Yes the forests flourish out here
Like home and I know
That the Northwest is the place for me
And I may wander away
But I will never wander astray
For I will always come back to
I will always come back to
The beautiful land
Yes I will always come back
To the beautiful land
The beautiful land I see
Oh It's all around me
oh oh, oh oh, the beautiful land
The beautiful land I see
Oh It's all around me
oh oh, oh oh, the beautiful land

Torch Of Eyes
03:09
|

|
As I've tried, to find the time, to lend a line
Just a needle in a haystack in a sty
And if you can spot me out with your little eye
Feel free to pick me up, polish off, and refine
So don't feel blind if you cannot find
Or if you can pay no mind, no just relax and unwind
For it's those with all the questions who will search for all the answers
Till the end of time
But there's never time, it's all in the mind
And as we age, our bodies die
And our minds may fly, but they're pushed aside
For the newcomer's torch of eyes
Is the forecomer's blind
And they're pushed aside for they have no life

The Root Of Your Lips
04:26
|
|||
|
Near to afar
The moon and the stars
Are shining tonight
Passerby on the go
Oh they're never know
What happens beneath this night sky
Alone in the woods
Oh I can tell you everything
That I know
And we'll pull up our hoods from the cold
And set this in stone
These are the moments that I want to last
To last, to last, oh these are the moments that I want to last
To last, to last, oh these are the moments that I want to last
And tell me your secrets, show me your scars
Tell me the things that they'll never hear
And bundled all up, let's learn how to love
Let's lend those lines to please the ears
So in the beginning, is this how it felt?
Or have emotions grown stronger still?
Oh is this the way of the ancestors, the archetype?
Oh is this the instinctive will?
Oh how I have longed for this moment
This tender eclipse
The soft breath of the root of your lips
Oh in my years I have seen but not understood
Had no standard for which to compare life's beauties
And tell me your secrets, show me your scars
Tell me the things that they'll never hear
And bundled all up, let's learn how to love
Let's lend those lines to please the ears

Sad Sailor
03:46
|
|||
|
Sad, sad sailor says don't be alone
For you're bound to find a lover for you to hold
But I just wanna find my little heart of gold
And the closest thing I've found broke my heart to free my soul
And if I jump into that river with all my clothes on,
Will it take me home?
And if I jump into that river with all my clothes on,
Will it take me home?
Will it take me home?
Will it take me home?
So burn it like rubber, my heart's a fiery flame
And the ashes are the remnants of the longevity of my name
And I may spill out all my secrets and open up my heart
So you better be careful baby or it'll break apart
And if I jump into that river with all my clothes on,
Will it take me home?
And if I jump into that river with all my clothes on,
Will it take me home?
Will it take me home?
Will it take me home?
So if actions are reactions to the happenings of life,
I'll try to react more clearly without all the toil and strife
And I'm not a little loser now, but maybe I am
So if that's the case I'll disappear, so get ready for me to rise again
And if I jump into that river with all my clothes on,
Will it take me home?
And if I jump into that river with all my clothes on,
Will it take me home?
Will it take me home?
Will it take me home?

The Light Of The Moon
05:52
|

|
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
And wherever I roam, I won't be alone
For the light of the moon will guide me home
So I broke in my new sneakers
They're thin, but they'll do
And I'll walk home in them slowly
By the light of the moon
And wherever I roam, I won't be alone
Oh wherever I roam, I won't be alone
For the light of the moon will guide me home
Yes the light of the moon will guide me home
And the clouds are the lands of the sky
Yes the clouds are the lands of the sky
And they'll take a little speedy drift
And before you know it, they've gone off and gone by
Oh the clouds are the lands of the sky
So there's a fire in the depths of my soul
And it'll burn until it's burned out of control
And everything in it's path will be swallowed whole
To devour the Earth leaving new soil and new life to grow
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
And wherever I roam, I won't be alone
For the light of the moon will guide me home
And it's a lovely road, my dear
There's not even a creature or a car on the road
But by the light of the moon I know
That I will be guided home
Oh the light....
Oh the light....
Oh the light....
Oh the light....
Save my soul, save my soul
The mouth of this world's gonna swallow me whole
Save my soul, save my soul
The mouth of this world's gonna swallow me whole
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
Oh the light of the moon will guide me home
