In your dreams
There is a scenery
I’ll let you stay
But you should stray
Should stray
Come with me
I’ll make you happy
In my place
In my embrace
My embrace
Follow Me
You know that you want to
I’ll give you everything
Just give me your hand
Be my Love
Come be my only one
In luxury
I’ll set you free
You free
Me and the Devil
Walking side by side
Me and the Devil
Walking side by side

May Queen

Sunshine Pours and streams through the window
Reminding me now of flowers in my hair
Do you remember that book we used to share?
Loving each word that said all the things we never dared.
May Queen, May Queen
Take me for your own
I’ve caught myself fading and
Dream all day long
For You
For You and me
Dancing in circles hands tightly linked
Turning pirouettes and leaping frogs
Ice cream dripping from the corners of our smiles
Whispering in languages only we could understand
May Queen, May Queen
Take me for your own
I’ve caught myself fading and
Dream all day long
For You
For You and me
May Queen, May Queen
Take me for your own
I’ve caught myself fading and
Dream all day long
For You
For You and me

Diana

Shadows grow long as the sun fades
Twilight creeps in, sweet purple dusky haze.
The nightingale sings as I search the stars for you.
I bathed in Jasmine and Verbena-soaked dew.
Captive in hopeful speculation
Constantly listening for your footsteps In the dark
Surrounded by your lovers and companions
In the midnight hour, I’ll outshine them all for you
What’s this desire flooding over me?
A flame in the fire burning to be free
Pulsating and quaking, this dire fantasy
I never dreamed you’d control my sanity.
Heady and weak, it’s all spinning
Breathing you in, ah the sky is open wide
Stretching my heart, leaving common sense behind
And reaching for glorious capitulation
What’s this desire flooding over me?
A flame in the fire burning to be free
Pulsating and quaking, this dire fantasy
I never dreamed you’d control my sanity.

Come for a swim
In the watering hole
Just you and me
No one will know
In the moonlight
To the watering hole
What you can’t carry
Leave behind
And be as you are with me
Be as you are with me
Jewels and gold
In the watering hole
Bronze and arrows
Are left behind
Give a little prayer
To the watering hole
Say your heart’s desire
I know what you want
And be as you are with me
Be as you are with me
If you can’t swim
In the watering hole
Find a place on the bank
And rest at my side
Or come to the bottom
Of the watering hole
You can stay with me
For eternity
And be as you are with me
Be as you are with me
Be as you are with me
You are
With me

The Drought

I can’t make my tree grow
All the leaves have fallen down
Oh the orchard’s gray
Since the water went away
In my gorgeous garden
Where the birds they used to sing
Only silence echoing
On the wind the ocean brings
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
Honey from the honeybees
Bitters all my memories
Take the mandrake from its place
Show the world a brand-new face
Salty waters cover me
For the past, you cannot see
Lady Future take my hand
Hold me till I reach the sand.
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
Requiem aeternam
Dona Eis Domina
I can’t make my tree grow
All the leaves have fallen down
Oh the orchard’s gray
Since the water went away
In my gorgeous garden
Where the birds they used to sing
Only silence echoing
On the wind the ocean brings

The Cherry Tree

Under the cherry tree
I will rest my weary head
In the shadow of blossoming
My desire will be fed
Tired feet and dirty too
I have traveled far from you
Valleys rivers green and blue
Only ever passing through
To fools did I listen
Who take joy in shame
At last, now I know I
Don’t have to be tame
Where I used to fear to go
I cannot remember now
But my sweet, it seems as though
You’ve caught up with me somehow
To fools did I listen
Who take joy in shame
At last, now I know I
Don’t have to be tame
Under the cherry tree
I will rest my weary head
In the shadow of blossoming
My desire will be fed

The Lost Love
03:56
|

|
You sang down by the water
Under cloud and sun
Performing your own masterpiece
You’ve only room for one
You say you don’t believe in
Anything men made
In writings from olden times
Meant to keep us in a cage
I thought you knew your mind
You’re always resolute
Never self-consciously
Hiding in your own roots
I saw her move you to tears last night
Yet like the rain that never comes
You falter and deny that she is the one
That you’ve only ever loved
Why can’t you tell the truth?
Why can’t you tell the truth?
I stayed down by the water
Til the sun was gone
Lying on my side
Ignoring the coming tide
You rushed in like a mad one
Calling out her name
Shivering as the light
Disappeared into night
I saw her move you to tears last night
Yet like the rain that never comes
You falter and deny that she is the one
That you’ve only ever loved
Why can’t you tell the truth?
Why can’t you tell the truth?
Why can’t you live the truth?
Maybe she’ll come back for you
Somewhere down the line

The Sight
03:24

I lost my memories
Of someone that I used to know
She was the balance
Of the light and the dark
I looked all over
For the feelings and the warmth inside
But soon discovered
They were nowhere to be found
I asked the grandmothers
To show me the way to her
They said to go down to the trees
On the riverside
They said to listen
To the wind and the water sounds
And to the singing of the birds
High above
And so I walked among
The birches and the willows too
I stood in silence and I opened up
My eyes
I saw her everywhere
And felt the things I used to know
About the balance
Of the light and the dark
How could I lose my sight?
It went into the night.
How could I lose my sight?
It went into the night.
How could I lose my sight?
It went into the night.

The Burial

Follow me to the grove
We’ll feed the tree
Down the path running free
Where we can finally breathe
Call their names loud and clear
So all can hear
Laugh and shout, celebrate
The time is drawing near
Up from the ground
Where the oldest roots are wound
I will reach for the sun
And with them become one
Star and shine moon and rays
Will light the dark ways
As you look through the fire
Remember the old days
Dawn will break ripe and new
I’ll be here for you
So it goes round and round
Where lost ones can be found
Up from the ground
Where the oldest roots are wound
I will reach for the sun
And with them become one
Follow me to the grove
We’ll feed the tree
Down the path running free
Where we can finally breathe
Up from the ground
Where the oldest roots are wound
I will reach for the sun
And with them become one
Keep your joy hold it fast
It is yours to the last
Keep your joy hold it fast
It is yours to the last
Keep your joy hold it fast
It is yours to the last
