High on this mountain
The clouds down below I'm feeling so strong and alive From this rocky perch I'll continue to search For the wind And the snow And the sky I want a lover I want some friends And I want to live in the sun And I want to do all the things that I never have done. Sunny bright mornings And pale moonlit nights Keep me from feeling alone Now, I'm learning to fly And this freedom is like Nothing that I've ever known I've seen the bottom And I've been on top But mostly I've lived in between And where do you go When you get to the end of your dream? Off in the nether lands I heard a sound Like the beating of heavenly wings And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain Of my soul as she rises and sings Anthems to glory and Anthems to love and Hymns filled with early delight Like the songs that the darkness Composes to worship the light. Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear Yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go One road was simple Acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release. |

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. Drive into town 'most every night On the chance that there might be someone Waiting for you You tell yourself you'll Give it your best Maybe settle for less But you never do. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. Every morning you wake up alone And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. |

Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside Saw it all as we performed our pirouette Fleshes fused As the flicker of the candles Threw upon the wall a single silhouette. Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma t?te Dancing shoes We have loved on distant beaches Where the winter never reaches There we fell Dying swan On the dawn you danced before me Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still. Qui peut dire le faux et le r?el? Dancing shoes Though the distances divide us There's a paradise inside us We can't lose. Me and you Dance a 'pas de deux' Forever And I pray you never Shed your dancing shoes. |

You
With the past at your back And the future unsure Asked For the chance to try Love once more. Well aware of the consequences Should the dream fall through You threw down you last defenses Wanting to try something new Wanting to try something new. You found me In a sea of confusion Drifting with the tide Living On love that had long since died. But everytime that I touch you, baby I feel a little more alive And I'm reminded how much you've made me Believe in the love that survives Believe in the love that survives. Lessons learned are like Bridges burned You only need to cross them but once Is the knowledge gained Worth the price of the pain? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Borne On the first warms winds of Feelings newly found Fly But remember Don't look down Take as much as you think you ought to Give just as much as you can Don't forget what your failures have taught you Or else you'll learn them all over again Or else you'll have to learn them All over again. Lessons learned are like Bridges burned You only need to cross them but once Is the knowledge gained Worth the price of the pain? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? |

Climbing a mountain
In darkness Stranded alone on the ledge. Every attempt that I make to hold on Pushes me nearer the edge. Sensing the changes impending My thoughts are diffused by despair I feel like I'm swimming straight up Underwater Desperately racing for air I'm racing for air. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends Exposing the loose ends. Surrounding myself with possessions I surely have more than I need I don't know if this is justice, hard earned, Or simply a matter of greed A matter of greed. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends... Exposing the loose ends. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends... Exposing the loose ends. |

Try your best to see through the
confusion Seems the more you see The less you try You don't know what's real and what's illusion If you don't know by now then how should I? (I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Give me back my heart And call it even Ain't no use in figuring who's to blame Once I thought this love was made in heaven Now I think it's just a crying shame. (And I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Winners never know the worth of losing 'Til the prize has slipped right through their hands Love will take a heart of its own choosing And break it if you try to understand. (We're left with nothing but the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. |

Promises made
Promises broken Measures of our demise Secrets of souls that Rarely get spoken Pleasure's a thin disguise. Dozens of ways Dozens of reasons Shielding our hearts from pain Riddles of romance That distance may yet explain. Certain of nothing So fearful of love Nobody seems to show you enough Over and over The scenes are replayed And once again Those promises made. Feeling forsaken Broken in two How did this ever happen to you? Taken for granted Bruised and betrayed Lonely survivors These promises made. Dozens of ways Dozens of reasons Shielding our hearts from pain Riddles of romance That distance may yet explain. Certain of nothing You're so damn fearful of love Nobody seems to show you enough Over and over The scenes are replayed And once again Those promises made. |

Slow down
Girl, what's the hurry? Love can wait if you're worried Then I'll try to ease your mind You say we're losing time But I've got to find A way to convince you. I've got cause to be wary For so long I've had to carry The weight of another soul You say I won't let go But how do you know I can? Give me some time now I've just got to find how I'm going to forget her And talk myself into believing That she and I are through Then maybe I'll fall for you. You're just Just what I've needed But I'd be Unfair and conceited To say you're the only one Woman, I'm on the run From something I have begun And can't seem to finish. Although it hasn't been recent I still think it wouldn't be decent To let you believe in me So soon I've got to make you see What she meant to me So please Give me some time, now I've just got to find how I'm going to forget her And talk myself into believing That she and I are through Then maybe I'll fall for you. |

Seldom seen
A scarecrow's dream I hang in the hopes of replacement Castles tall I built them all But I dream that I'm trapped in the basement. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make-believe I can be found. Plans I've made A masquerade Fading in fear of the coming day Heroes' tales Like nightingales Wrestle the wind as they run away. And if you ever hear them calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make- believe I can be found. Garden gate An empty plate Waiting for someone to come and fill Scarecrow's dreams Like frozen streams Thirst for the fall But they're running still. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make-believe I can be found. |

Late in the summer
When the cottonwood dies The fields are on fire With green bottleflies And I'm still seeing reflections Of me in your eyes And why did you leave Last summer? Now, the seasons are changing From summer to fall And I've still got that picture Hung on my wall And there's so much forgotten And too much recalled And why did you leave At all? Standing beside you Mid-winter day Hearts beating close Together. Wishing that we'd found Someway to make That moment last Forever. Standing silent--laughing-- Breathing steam Gazing down into a freezing stream... I saw the face of a child I saw the face of a child. |

Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas To divine who you are Pencil portrayals and Jealous betrayals Get you further afar. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. Hostile hotel walls Footfalls and phone calls And you're on the line Gentle coercions and Bitter desertions When the truth is a lie. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. Lover twice yearly That last battle nearly Cost me the fight. Broke through the ice And got cut down to size And escaped through the night. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. |
