Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds all were swelling Sweet William on his death bed lay For love of Barbara Allen He sent his servant unto her To the place where she was dwelling Saying you must come to his bedside now, If your name be Barbara Allen So slowly slowly she got up And slowly she drew nigh him And the only words to him did say "Young man I think you're dying" As she walked slowly o'er the field She heard the death bells knelling And with every stroke it seemed to say Hard hearted Barbara Allen Oh mother, oh mother make my bed Make it both long and narrow Sweet William died for me today I will die for him tomorrow They buried her in the old churchyard They buried him beside her And from his grave grew a red red rose And from her grave a green briar They grew and grew to the steeple top Till they could grow no higher And there they tied in a true love's knot Red rose around green briar |

It's a reflection that you see in me
But I know it's not reality Beneath the glitter and behind all the lace Do you see my face? I'll be the mirror, the spaces in between It's not the truth, it's just a dream I guess we all have to believe in something In anything Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take a chance? Do you see me for all that I can be Do you believe, believe in me? Sometimes you need to be lost just to be found You need to go to come back around You need to set somebody free for them to return You live and learn Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take a chance? Do you see me for all that I can be Do you believe, believe in me?--- I've heard it said that true love is blind All this is just a state of mind If you're not looking you will never find You'll be left behind Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take my hand? Maybe you'll see through the mystery Do you believe-- Do you love me just the way I am? Do you need me? Will you take a chance? Maybe you'll see all that I can be Do you believe, believe in me? |

Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star
And everybody’s in movies it doesn’t matter who you are There are stars in every city in every house and on every street And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard their names are written in concrete Don’t step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the boulevard She looks so weak and fragile that’s why she tried to be so hard But they turned her into a princess and they sat her on a throne But she turned her back on stardom because she wanted to be alone Ref: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognise some that you’ve hardly even heard of People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain If you covered him with garbage George Sanders would still have style And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney he would still turn round and smile But don’t tread on dearest Marilyn ’cos she’s not very tough She should have been made of iron or steel but she was only flesh and blood Ref: You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard Some that you recognise some that you’ve hardly even heard of People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain (2x) Rudolph Valentino looks very much alive And he looks up ladies’ dresses as they sadly pass him by Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi ’cause he’s liable to turn and bite But stand close by Bette Davis because hers was such a lonely life I wish my life was a non stop hollywood movie show A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain And celluloid heroes never really die. Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star And everybody’s in show biz it doesn’t matter who you are And those who are successful be always on your guard, Success walks hand in hand with failure along Hollywood Boulevard. |

Once upon a dark autumn night
I was so very far from sleep I longed to walk beneath the stars Into the wood so dark and deep- Neither myth nor fairy tale could keep me from the path to the maze But eyes upon me I could feel Hidden in the shadows watching always- Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me to mankind- Once while I was sitting in my room One cold and silver winter's day I could hear another worldly call try as I might I could'nt turn away- Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me to mankind---- Somewhere in between the moss and the stone The wind and the wood became my home I layed myself down upon the green when the ivy overgrew I could never leave-- Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me to mankind Something in the darkness pulled me deeper Something in the madness eased my mind Was I awake or was I dreaming Cut the strings that bind me---to mankind------ |

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again Our ship lies at harbour she's ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if we should meet again by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me My footsteps may falter my wit it may fail My course may be challenged by November gale Ere fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe You will always be with me wherever I go |

Looking out and I'm wondering where I am
While I'm stuck in the daily traffic jam I decide to get out and leave the world behind me Everywhere there are people passing by Empty faces and not a friendly smile Under stress, loneliness, a part of our city Now I finally have decided I will leave it all behind And discover something better And l know where I will find Find a place of harmony, of laughter and of dreams It you want me, that is where I'll be I'll be waiting on the Highland With its wonderful serenity Where the stars glow and the brooks flow That's my way of life When the mountains on the Highland And the nature is surrounding me When the wind blows That's all I need, all I need On the highland when I was a child l would play with my friends and we were wild And we all loved the moors, the nature and it's freedom And we went for ghost hunt in the mist l remember the first time I got kissed By the shy neighbour guy, who whispered "be my girlfriend" But I longed for some excitement So l travelled 'round the world After that I settled down and l became a city girl Want to parties every night and lived intensively Now l know it's not a life for me I'll be waiting on the Highland With it's wonderful serenity Where the stars glow and the brooks flow That's my way of life When the mountains on the Highland And the nature is surrounding me When the wind blows that's all I need On the Highland, on the Highland, you will see Oh my darling, I would hate to leave it whitout you I'm sure you love the highland too If you join me I can promise You'll stay until eternity I'll be waiting on the Highland With it's wonderful serenity Where the stars glow and the brooks flow That's my way of life When the mountains on the Highland And the nature is surrounding me When the wind blows that's all I need On the Highland On the highland All the mountains on the highland are embracing and surrounding me |

Once was a legend of old
In the time of days long ago The clattering beat of a horse on the street He appeared from the fog like a ghost I could feel him heading this way A storm was filling the air If the truth be told, when the winds blow cold They are warning you to beware No, the wild cannot be tamed Keeper of the flame We wondered what devil is this Who appears from out of the mist With a crack of a whip, and a wave of his fist He was cursed and I was bewitched Haunted by seeing his face Through the mirror the smoke and the haze So hard to see, through the dark mystery The illusion was part of the game Be careful of what you wish for And make sure when it knocks at your door It's what you need, not some fantasy That will haunt you forever more Let it be what you need, not some fantasy That will haunt you forever more |

The moon must be an angel, her halo surely heaven sent
Watching from above should the bells forget to ring And we but lonely travelers, following a ray of light All become the same when we begin to sing Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song--For the sake of the song Could you ever fly without the fear of falling? Does the night bird cease just because it's dawn? Could a candle burn with any less resilience? Should we never love for the fear that it may fade? Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song--For the sake of the song----- Could you ever be just for the sake of being? Could a melody ever be wrong? Could you ever sing just for the sake of singing? Set your spirit free for the sake of the song--- Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song Round and round we all go Where we stop nobody knows Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song- For the sake of the song For the sake of the song---- |

Through the long days of summer
Where the air was as sweet as perfume We walked through the golden meadows And danced by the light of the moon She was a lonely angel Sitting there by the side of the road On the edge of the forest That's where the wild things grow And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl In her hand was a basket Sticks and branches were woven as one She smiled bright like a child Bright as the afternoon sun It was filled with her treasures A whole cradle of nature's bounty Wild flowers were chosen To lay amongst the forest berries And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl "It's a great day for a gatherer You can say that I told you so In these uncertain days It's the simple things you need the most" And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl Blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl---- |

In a house up the hill
Lays a boy, he's sleeping still And the time's creeping by Till the world prepares to die Then again out of dust Will arise what ended last And the boy will awake Give his dream a little brake And the story now goes on and on and on As the old has died the new arises And a child will Light the universe Light the universe We got blind, we can't read the signs Light the universe Light the universe We don't find what's hidden in the mind Under sand in a sea Covered with eternity Beats a heart with no fame Quietly whispering my name When my time has run out I will hear it very loud Telling tales I once knew But forgot by losing you And the story... has gone... on and on and on As the old has died the new arises And a boy will Light the universe Light the universe We got blind, we can't read the signs Light the universe Light the universe We don't find what's hidden in the mind Solo: Sascha |

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit My hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks Oh and you brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes the girl on the half-shell Would keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With leaves falling around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You are always so good with words And at keeping things vague Because I need some of that vagueness now It's all coming back too clearly Oh I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid Diamonds and rust Diamonds and rust Diamonds and rust |

A featherbed to rest my head
On roses would I lay A full moon would glow every night And summer would be every day We'd dance and sing all afternoon And rain would wash troubles away Every wish would be granted for me If I could be Queen for a Day The finest horse the color of night The likes you never did see Silver stars and firelight And candles would burn just for me We'd dance and sing all afternoon And rain would wash troubles away Every wish would be granted for me If I could be Queen for a Day... Ahh, oh but to be the golden one Ahh, just for one moment in the sun... And when the night grew cold and dark And worries ran too deep Angels would surround my bed And carry me off to sleep We'd dance and sing all afternoon And rain would wash troubles away Every wish would be granted for me If I could be Queen for a Day... Every wish would be granted for me If I could be Queen for a Day... I could be Queen for a Day... I could be Queen for a Day... |

The rain wasn't made of water
The snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind the rainbow And laid back till we had done And then the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind the rainbow And laid back till we had done Through northern lights on back streets I told the coachman "just drive me on It's the same old destination But a different world to sing upon" So he threw back his head and he counted I got out about five to nine And I waved at the stage door-keeper Said "mister, get me to the stage on time" And then the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind the rainbow And laid back till we had done I packed my ammunition Inside the crowd was shouting "encore" But I had a most funny feeling It wasn't me they were shouting for So when the tall dark lady smiled at me I said "oh baby let us go for a ride" And we came upon two drinks or four And popped them oh so neatly inside And then the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind the rainbow And laid back till we had done Let me pack you deep in my suitcase Oh there's sure to be room for two Or you can drive me to the airplane But don't let me catch those rainbow blues And then the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind the rainbow And laid back till we had done So then the rain wasn't made of water And the snow didn't have a place in the sun So we slipped behind the rainbow And laid back till we had done The rain wasn't made of water The snow didn't have a place in the sun The rain wasn't made of water The snow didn't have a place in the sun |

It's only been an hour
Since he locked her in the tower The time has come He must be undone By the morning Many times before The tyrant's opened up the door Then someone cries Still we close our eyes Not again Not again Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies The fighting must begin before another someone dies Crossbows in the fire light Green sleeves waving Madmen raving Through the shattered night Flames are getting higher Make it leap unto the spire Draw bridge down Cut it to the ground We shall dance around around the fire Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies The fighting must begin before another someone dies Crossbows in the fire light Green sleeves waving Madmen raving Through the shattered night Meet me when the sun is in the Western skies The fighting must begin before another someone dies Crossbows in the fire light Green sleeves waving Madmen raving Through the shattered night Green sleeves waving Madmen raving Through the shattered night (No more night) No more night We have seen the light Let it shine on bright Hang him higher Draw bridge down Cut it to the ground We shall dance around around the fire Green sleeves waving Madmen raving Through the shattered night |

I stood out here once before
With my head held in my hands, For all that I had known of this place I could never understand. On the hills the fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, the stars are out and magic is here... I wished on the seven sisters, Bring to me wisdom of age, All that's locked within the book of secrets, I longed for the knowledge of the sage... On the hills the fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, The stars are out and magic is here... So, the sisters smiled to themselves, And they whispered as they shone, And it was from that very instant, I knew I would never be alone. While on the hills The fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, the stars are out and magic is here... Many stars were long forgotten, Many faded and became ghosts, Still my sisters glittered down from heaven, Always there when I needed them most... And on the hills The fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, The stars are out and magic is here... I stood out here once before With my head held in my hands, For all that I had known of this place I could never understand. On the hills the fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, The stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here... |

I've been many places
I've travelled 'round the world Always on the search for something new But what does it matter When all the roads I've crossed Always seem to lead back to you... Old familiar faces Everyone you meet Following the ways of the land Cobblestones and lanterns Lining every street Calling me to come home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again When you play with fire Sometimes you get burned It happens when you take a chance or two But time is never wasted When you've lived and learned And in time it all comes back to you... Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again And when I got weary I'd sit a while and rest Memories invading my mind All the things I'd treasured The ones I'd loved the best Were the things that I'd left behind.... Old familiar faces Everyone you meet Following the ways of the land Cobblestones and lanterns Lining every street Calling me to come home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again lalalalalala....Oh, it's good to be back home again lalalalalala....Oh, it's good to be back home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain... Oh, it's good to be back home again |

How worlds of change led us astray Colors seem to fade to gray In the wake of yesterday… You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized And I can still remember you I had a dream of you and I A thousand stars lit up the sky I touched your hand and you were gone But memories of you live on… You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized And I can still remember you Those moments spent together Promising forever And I can still remember you Do you ever think of me And get lost in the memory When you do, I hope you smile And hold that memory a while… |

Past time with good company
I love, and shall until I die Grutch who lust, but none deny So God be pleased, thus live will I For my pastance Hunt, sing and dance My heart is set; All goodly sport For my comfort Who shall me let? Company with honesty Is virtue, vices to flee; Company is good and ill But every man hath his free will The best ensue The worst eschew; My mind shall be Virtue to use Vice to refuse Thus shall I use me... Past time with good company I love, and shall until I die Grutch who lust, but none deny So God be pleased, thus live will I For my pastance Hunt, sing and dance My heart is set; All goodly sport For my comfort Who shall me let? Youth must have some dalliance Of good or ill some pastance Company methinks then best All thoughts and fancies to digest For idleness is chief mistress Of vices all; then who can say But mirth and play Is best of all? Past time with good company I love, and shall until I die Grutch who lust, but none deny So God be pleased, thus live will I For my pastance Hunt, sing and dance My heart is set; All goodly sport For my comfort Who shall me let? Company with honesty Is virtue, vices to flee; Company is good and ill But every man hath his free will The best ensue The worst eschew; My mind shall be Virtue to use Vice to refuse Thus shall I use me... |

Underneath the harvest moon
Where the ancient shadows will play and hide... With a ghostly tune and the devil's pride... "Stranger" whispered all the town Has he come to save us from Satan's hand? Leading them away to a foreign land... Play for me, minstrel, play And take away our sorrows... Play for me, minstrel, play And we'll follow... Hear, listen, can you hear, The haunting melody surrounding you, Weaving a magic spell all around you... Weaving a magic spell all around you... Danger hidden in his eyes, We should have seen it from far away, Wearing such a thin disguise in the light of day... He held the answer to our prayers, Yet it was too good to be... Proof before our eyes, yet we could not see... Play for me, minstrel, play And take away our sorrows... Play for me, minstrel, play And we'll follow... Hear, listen, can you hear, The haunting melody surrounding you, Weaving a magic spell all around you... Weaving a magic spell all around you... |

I was told once, by a friend of mine,
She had seen an olden sign, Said she was not from this time, And did I feel the same? So I told her, "Yes", I knew her fear As I felt the truth draw near Told her back three hundred years, Was the time that I held dear... Gather lords and ladies fair, Come with me to the Renaissance Faire Hurry now, We're almost there... Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... Through the shroud of mystery, Turn a page of history, Feeling more than you can see, Down at the Renaissance Faire. Hear the minstrels play their tunes, They will play the whole night through, Special songs for me and for you, And anyone whose heart is true... Gather lords and ladies fair, Come with me to the Renaissance Faire Hurry now, We're almost there... Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... There's too many stars for one sky to hold, Some will fall, others are sold, As the fields turn to gold Down at the Renaissance Faire...

I have often told you stories
About the way I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the day When Id take your hand And sing you songs Then maybe you would say Come lay with me love me And I would surely stay But I feel Im growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin round I guess Ill always be A soldier of fortune Many times Ive been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old When nights were cold I wandered without you But those days I thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that youre not here Now I feel Im growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin round I guess Ill always be A soldier of fortune Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin round I guess Ill always be A soldier of fortune |

Dancing to the feel of the drum
Leave this world behind We'll have a drink and toast to ourselves Under a Violet Moon Tudor Rose with her hair in curls Will make you turn and stare Try to steal a kiss at the bridge Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon Cheers to the Knights and days of old the beggars and the thieves living in an enchanted wood Under a Violet Moon Fortuneteller what do you see Future in a card Share your secrets, tell them to me Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon Close your eyes and lose yourself In a medieval mood Taste the treasures and sing the tunes Under a Violet Moon Tis my delight on a shiny night The season of the year To keep the lanterns burning bright Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon Raise your hats and your glasses too We will dance the whole night through We're going back to a time we knew Under a Violet Moon |

Is it powers of intuition?
Is it insecurity? You know I can read your mind and You have been deceiving me... Which face wears the masque this evening? When will your true colors show? Will they be as black as shadows Hiding 'neath the rainbow... Had my heart on a silver chain With the words engraved "I loved you"... Like a swan that was lost at sea I lost all of me To you... Now I see the writing on the wall... Paranoia or perception? Put your faith in a liar's hands Wanting to believe his words But never knowing where he stands... There's too many misconceptions In this game of consequence When you're finding that your hero Is just who you're up against… |

Again someday
Now you're gone We're left to carry on Though the night seems twice as long And here within my heart I don't feel very strong But we will meet again Now you're gone We're left to carry on In the wind I hear your song With every passing hour I'm feeling more alone But we will meet again Someday |

Be mine tonight,
We'll travel through all our memories, In our own little space in time, You've always been mine... Through the years, I feel your love beside me Through the laughter and the tears, You've conquered all my fears... So many stories, So many treasures, So much our lives have shared... We've done it all and we've done it together, You know I've always cared... In this heart, There'll never be another, You have made my life complete, Our love is like a dream... Take my hand, Nothing can come between us, We were always meant to be, Forever, you and me... In my eyes, Your face is always before me, Our souls are now as one... We've only just begun |

When the sun sets over cherry blossom skies And the twilight fills the air You can see the snow on the mountaintops Through the veil of old Japan' On an island lead by all the ancient ways Just a million miles from here And yet it seems like only yesterday That her song rang out so clear Sister of the seas Wrapped in silken robes Waves are falling at her feet Play your haunted songs to charm the dragon king, Winds are calling out your name And the times ran fast, further from that place But somehow we are still here You can hear her song calling on the waves Through the veil of old Japan' Sister of the seas Wrapped in silken robes Waves are falling at her feet Play your haunted songs to charm the dragon king, Winds are calling out your name When the sun sets over cherry blossom skies And the twilight fills the air You can see the snow on the mountaintops Through the veil of old Japan'.

Alas my love, ye do me wrong to cast me out discourteously,
And I have loved you for so long delighting in your company... Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but Lady Greensleeves... |

Now And Then
The past is so familiar But that's why you couldn't stay Too many ghosts, too many haunted dreams Beside you were built to find your own way... But after all these years, I thought we'd still hold on But when I reach for you and search your eyes I see you've already gone... That's OK I'll be fine I've got myself, I'll heal in time But when you leave just remember what we had... There's more to life than just you I may cry but I'll make it through And I know that the sun will shine again Though I may think of you now and then... Can't do a thing with ashes But throw them to the wind... Though this heart may be in pieces now You know I'll build it up again and I'll come back stronger than I ever did before Just don't turn around when you walk out that door... That's OK I'll be fine I've got myself, I'll heal in time...but when you leave just remember what we had... There's more to life than just you I may cry but I'll make it through And I know that the sun will shine again Though I may think of you now and then... That's OK I'll be fine I've got myself, I'll heal in time... And even though our stories at the end I still may think of you now and then... |

OCEAN GYPSY
ooooooooooohh.... ooooooooooohh.... Tried to take it all away, Learn her freedom... just inside a day, And find her soul to find there fears are laid... Tried to make her love their own, They took her love... they left her there, They gave her nothing back that she would want to own... Gold and silver rings and stones, Dances slowly off the moon, No one else could know, she stands alone... Sleeping dreams will reach for her, She can not say the words they need, She knows she's alone and she is free... Ocean Gypsy of the moon, The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold... Ocean Gypsy where are you? The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold... Turned to gold... Then she met a hollow soul, Filled him with her light and was consoled, She was the moon and he the sun was gold... Eyes were blinded with his light... The sun she gave reflected back the night The moon was waning almost out of sight... Softly Ocean Gypsy calls... Silence holds the stars a while, They smile sadly for her where she falls... Just the time before the dawn, The sea is hushed the ocean calls her, Day has taken her and now she's gone... Ocean Gypsy of the moon, The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold... Ocean Gypsy where are you? The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold... Turned to gold... ooooooo...oooooooooo.... No one noticed when she died, Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide, The ebbing waves, the turning spreading white... Something gone within her eyes, Her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand, Her battered soul was lost, She was abandonned... Silken threads like wings still shine, Wind swept pleasures still make patterns in her lovely hair... so dark and fine... Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more, her tears have dried... Oceans weep for her, the ocean sighs... Ocean Gypsy of the moon, The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold... Ocean Gypsy where are you? The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold... Turned to gold... Turned to gold... Turned to gold... Turned to gold...... |

Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here... Me, oh, my country man, Wish You Were Here... I Wish You Were Here... Don't you know, the snow is getting colder, And I miss you like hell, And I'm feeling blue... I've got feelings for you, Do you still feel the same? From the first time I laid my eyes on you, I felt joy of living, I saw heaven in your eyes... In yor eyes... Wish you were here... Me, oh, my country man, Wish You Were Here... I Wish You Were Here... Don't you know the snow is getting colder, And I miss you like hell... And I'm feeling blue... I miss your laugh, I miss your smile, I miss everything about you... Every second's like a minute, Every minute's like a day When you're far away... The snow is getting colder, baby, I Wish You Were Here... A battlefield of love and fear, And I Wish You Were Here... I've got feelings for you, From the first time I laid my eyes on you... |

Never did I believe There could be such happiness Feels like nothing on earth Started with one little kiss... I could stay in this moment forever I could reach every star in the sky I could lose myself when I look Into your eyes... Is this happening? Is this fantasy? All my dreams coming true... ...all because of you I can't believe its true... ...all because of you... You are everything I Wanted for so many years... Goodbye long, lonely nights Sadness and thousands of tears I could stay in this moment forever I could reach every star in the sky I could lose myself when I look Into your eyes... Is this happening?

The air is full of wonder Fair smiles greet The crowning of the king Come hither, gather round A joyous time's upon us Trumpets sound The crowning of the king Fast away the olde Time too quickly passes Shine the light of new For the crowing of the king Come forth those who wish For change and change becoming Welcome with every breath The crowning of the king Sweet is the hour and sweeter still The time we spend together Celebrate the noble will The crowning of the king To sing and dance and sing again With honor and with splendor All from far and near- See the crowning of the king! Step to the dance of hope Of courtly wiles and pleasure As the star of the morn Shines brightly for the king Pray thee lift the veil From those who came before us Merriment will prevail For the crowning of the king Sweet is the hour and sweeter still The time we spend together Celebrate the noble will The crowning of the king To sing and dance and sing again With honor and with splendour All from far and near- See the crowning of the king! Jesters spin and play The laughter sounds like music What a perfect day For the crowning of the king Here in the village streets The air is full of wonder Fair smiles greet the crowning of the king Come and see the crowning of |

I stood out here once before
With my head held in my hands, For all that I had known of this place I could never understand. On the hills the fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, the stars are out and magic is here... I wished on the seven sisters, Bring to me wisdom of age, All that's locked within the book of secrets, I longed for the knowledge of the sage... On the hills the fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, The stars are out and magic is here... So, the sisters smiled to themselves, And they whispered as they shone, And it was from that very instant, I knew I would never be alone. While on the hills The fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, the stars are out and magic is here... Many stars were long forgotten, Many faded and became ghosts, Still my sisters glittered down from heaven, Always there when I needed them most... And on the hills The fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, The stars are out and magic is here... I stood out here once before With my head held in my hands, For all that I had known of this place I could never understand. On the hills the fires burned at midnight, Superstition plagued the air, Sparks fly as the fires burn at midnight, Stars are out and magic is here, The stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here The stars are out and magic is here... |

There have been many tales
Tainted by truth twisted by time... Some choose to forget Yet it still Weaves webs in their minds.... And it seems like she's been here forever Her branches as black as the seas She's been through it all By the luck of the draw She became the old hanging tree... She asked for nothing Except maybe A little rain... They used her strenght To help them steal lives away... And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow To this day she still doesn't know why And her heart broke When they came with the rope To declare her the old hanging tree... Life stranger than fiction Can make you want to cry Roots could never stop her From reaching for the sky... Those years have all past Lucky for us lucky for her... Now, children play at her feet And in her arms she cradles birds... And it seems she's been here forever These days are the best that she's seen But somewhere in the back Of her mind Is the time She was known as the old hanging tree... |

I've been many places
I've travelled 'round the world Always on the search for something new But what does it matter When all the roads I've crossed Always seem to lead back to you... Old familiar faces Everyone you meet Following the ways of the land Cobblestones and lanterns Lining every street Calling me to come home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again When you play with fire Sometimes you get burned It happens when you take a chance or two But time is never wasted When you've lived and learned And in time it all comes back to you... Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again And when I got weary I'd sit a while and rest Memories invading my mind All the things I'd treasured The ones I'd loved the best Were the things that I'd left behind.... Old familiar faces Everyone you meet Following the ways of the land Cobblestones and lanterns Lining every street Calling me to come home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again lalalalalala....Oh, it's good to be back home again lalalalalala....Oh, it's good to be back home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain Oh, it's good to be back home again Laughing in the sunlight Running down the lane Oh, it's good to be back home again Dancing in the moonlight Singing in the rain... Oh, it's good to be back home again |

I thought of you the other day
How worlds of change led us astray Colors seem to fade to gray In the wake of yesterday… You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized And I can still remember you I had a dream of you and I A thousand stars lit up the sky I touched your hand and you were gone But memories of you live on… You looked into my eyes You had me hypnotized And I can still remember you Those moments spent together Promising forever And I can still remember you Do you ever think of me And get lost in the memory When you do, I hope you smile And hold that memory a while… |

The bells are ringing
On Mid Winters Night The moon sets all alone And once again I try to sleep before morning light Too soon the sun will come a-calling over the hills in our little town Too soon the snow will start falling over the world without a sound While in my room dreams are a-fleeting I close my eyes one more time All too quickly the dawn is breaking and I must leave the night behind. |

The moon is an angel,
Her halo surely heaven sent Watching from above should the bells forget to ring And we but lonely travelers Following a ray of light All become the same when we begin to sing Round and round we all go, Where we stop nobody knows, Heaven meets on the earth For the sake of the song... Could you ever fly without the fear of falling Does the nightbird cease just because its dawn Could a candle burn with any less resilience Should we never love for the fear that it may fade? Could you ever be just for the sake of being Could a melody ever be wrong Could you ever sing just for the sake of singing Set your spirit free For the sake of the song ... |

A timeless and forgotten place,
The moon and sun in endless chase. Each in quiet surrender, While the other reigns the sky... The midnight hour begins to laugh, A summer evening's epitaph. The winds are getting crazy, As the storm begins to rise... Wild were the winds that came, In the thunder and the rain. Nothing ever could contain, The rising of the storm.... In the wings of ebony, Darkened waves fill the trees. Wild winds of warning, Echo through the air... Follow the storm, I've got to get out of here... Follow the storm as you take to the sky... Follow the storm now it's all so crystal clear, Follow the storm as the storm begins to rise... She seems to come from everywhere, Welcome to the dragon's lair. Fingers running through your hair, She asks you out to play... In all of nature's sorcery, The most bewitching entity. Hell can have no fury, Like the rising of the storm... Follow the storm, I've got to get out of here... Follow the storm as you take to the sky... Follow the storm now it's all so crystal clear, Follow the storm as the storm begins to rise... |

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside and its ragin'. Will soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin(g)'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'. |

I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
Strangers near were welcome but for curiosity But come they did and when they did ready they did stand And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand... When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide When the pirates disembarked they were making plans And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand... The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand He was different than the others in my Village on the Sand... He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand And I knew I'd never see again my Village on the Sand... |
