A Prince

Dragon-slayer, a soothe-sayer, A sailor man or a carpenter?
I was never wary enough, I was too naive.
Sharpened layers, a fool player, A hornets nest for a treasure chest!
She was never part of the plan, She came after me.
Who do you think you are to break my heart? Who do you think you are to break my heart?
Dragon-slayer, a soothe-sayer, A sailorman or a carpenter?
I was never wary enough, I was too naive.
Who do you think you are to break my heart?
A prince - no less, no more.

Bed

Take me to the mouth of the river, Fly me to the edge of the wood!
Slowly, not too quickly in my head, Hurry, follow me to my bed.
Sing to me a melody you love, I’ll tell you my favourite tale.
Slowly, not too quickly in my head, Hurry, follow me to my bed.
Hide with me down under the hollow, Chase me with the sand in your toes!
Slowly, not too quickly in my head, Hurry, follow me to my bed.
Come now follow me to the end, Never to begin again!
Come now follow me to the end, Hurry, follow me to my bed!
Hurry, follow me to my bed - Hurry, follow me to my bed!

Candle

Somebody melted my candle. Does anybody know who’s to blame?
I really needed my candle, ‘Cause now without a light I’m in shame.
I heard a whisper behind me - My heart it gave a flutter or two. I felt somebody before me, But how was I to know it was you?
I know you, at least I should do - But I can’t remember meeting you. I know you, at least I should do - But I can’t remember meeting you.
Somebody’s stolen my lover. Does everybody think it’s a game? I rather think I was blinded, But in my fingertips there’s a flame.
I took a step in the hallway,
I followed all the stairs to the door. I leaned halfway out the window And then I fell asleep to no more.
I know you, at least I should do - But I can’t remember meeting you. I know you, at least I should do - But I can’t remember meeting you.
But I can’t remember meeting you!

Coffee Shop

In the coffee shop
I lost my thoughts. Over the tabletop, They wandered away.
Behind the countertop There were some dreamy eyes. They saw right through my smile And burned a hole.
Sweet as honey, slow as molasses - My daydreams dominated by you.
And I remembered Another day gone by. The sunshine taste of time, The sand and the sea.
They came back to me. As I got up to leave, My senses all returned. The moment was gone.
Sweet as honey, slow as molasses - My daydreams dominated by you.
In the coffee shop
I lost my thoughts. Over the tabletop, They wandered away.

You’re so lovely, pretty pretty you.
You’re so graceful, lovely lovely you.
I want to be lovely, pretty pretty too.
I only stumble, clumsy clumsy me.
You’re so crazy, funny funny you.
Always smiling, cheery cheery you.
Can I be crazy? Funny funny too?
Always pouting, dreary dreary me.
You have eyes so dreamy sweet and true
And a sweetheart, lucky lucky you.
Mama told me never to compare,
I can’t help I want us to be square.
I have an apple rosy red and new,
Fresh from the orchard, ‘specially for you.
Eat it when you want to have a snack,
After that I won’t expect you back!

Dancing Melancholies
03:20

I feel a change in me, slow motion such relief. New days and nights in sight.
What’s going to happen tonight?
What did you say to me? Don’t be afraid repeat No yesterday today.
Thoughts and cares carry away.
Summer’s gone, oh Summer’s gone, Oh Summer’s gone, oh Summer’s gone. Winter is calling,
My heart is falling deep in love.
In love.
Old days forever lost. Faces have paid the cost. Touch me - am I here too?
Call me and I’ll run with you.
Summer’s gone, oh Summer’s gone, Oh Summer’s gone, oh Summer’s gone. Winter is calling,
My heart is falling.
Summer’s gone, oh Summer’s gone, Oh Summer’s gone, oh Summer’s gone. Winter is calling,
My heart is falling deep in love.
In love.
In love.

Needles

Needle, needle fall to the floor.
Did your Sugar Pine let you go?
Brush them, brush them up off the floor.
All my stairs must tidy be today.
Pine cone, pine cone light it bright.
Make my fireplace glow tonight!
Come and see ready me.
Don’t hesitate, I won’t wait.
I won’t wait I won’t wait.
Powder, powder kiss my cheek,
For the sunset fades.
‘Fraid of me you should not be.
When you come tell all your heart to me.
When my work is done for the night
I’ll swim down the stream.
Come and see ready me.
Don’t hesitate, I won’t wait.
Don’t hesitate, I won’t wait.
I won’t wait. I won’t wait.

Shatter Me
04:34

|
Shatter me.
Break me into pieces. Shatter me and I’ll fall to the floor.
Caress me.
Say you didn’t mean it. Pet me.
I’ll forget everything.
Quiet me.
Put your finger to my mouth. Silence me
With your winning smile.
Hide me
In the back of your thoughts. Forget me
And I’ll fade away.
I can’t abide the thought Of you not being by my side, But maybe the truth is That I don’t want to be alone.

Under The Willow
04:08
|
|||
|
What to do when I see you?
How to smile when face to face?
How to laugh under the willow, in the breeze? In the breeze.
My delight was your pleasure.
Blossoms white in my clothes.
I lost my ribbons and my buttons. I didn’t mind. No, I didn’t mind.
What did I see when we were side by side? No reason to hide, no reason to hide.
What to do when I see you?
How to smile when face to face?
How to laugh under the willow, in the breeze? In the breeze.

Volcano

I have grown stagnant - still, much too long.
Where is my tremor and my quake gone?
I often hear them echoed in air,
Poems and stories telling despair.
I can remember when I was strong
And the red currents hummed to my song!
I have had glories spread of my fame,
Dancing and praying all to my name.
And as the surface of waters grew near,
Oh how I simmered. Oh how they seared.
Before the wandering things came to be
I grew in stature just earth and me!
There is no meaning to time and space
I have grown weary here in my place.
I’ll keep on sleeping, awaken no more
Gone is the mystery deep in my core.
