Waves Of You
05:51
|

Where the fallen leaves surround
For an hour or two, is common ground
Where the mist yields to the sun
A sight best seen as more than one
Move from forest to shore
And scan for futures from the harbour wall
The waves of you that ebb and flow
And take us places we don’t know
The waves of you expand our seas
To unknown harbours on a salty breeze
Where the daylight drains away
How many drops we saved, I cannot say
The hardest part of rolling stones
They say is starting off when you’re alone
Move from forest to shore
And scan for futures from the harbour wall
The waves of you...

Better Purpose
02:41
|

Is our tale an empty page
We draw upon at will?
Best to steer a moving car
Or spend some moments still?
Reach for birds in thickets, yet
Retain the one in hand
Get to know the maps that show
Your latest promised land
Someday we may find somewhere
The better purpose lying there
Just around the bend
Panting from the sprint from which
Our marathon transformed
An unaccustomed pace to run
My heart left strangely warmed
Find out where, much further than
Our navigation planned
This crazy rush has swept us
Our latest promised land
Someday we may find somewhere...
To fail to prepare - is to prepare to fail
Sometimes preparation - can take you unaware

It all started with the word
A greater distance, overturned
And surely by the letter they were made
Came the light, and all were pleased
And then in time, a bended knee
Began their journey - neither felt afraid
Wherever they roam
Down every path and lane
Each place where they lay to sleep
A secret store
Accompanies their steps
The chest they only know, where letters keep
As a life reveals
How words can wound or heal
A dagger or a scalpel to use
A spring both salt and sweet
A coin’s opposing sides compete
Every moment, a path we choose
Wherever they roam…
To the start, they retire
To the lines forged in fire
In the white heat where love took form
Where the strokes of the pen
Lead the memories to when
The shards to a sword reformed
Wherever they roam…

Christmas In England
02:57
|
|||
Just one more hour
Here by the fire
The embers unborn in the flames
My universe lives
Inside your embrace
A stadium of midwinter games
When the tree sprinkles light from the window
On the wet grass and cinnamon wine
Christmas in England... or anywhere
As long as there’s you - I’m fine
Gather the rug
And shut out the gale
To stay where our evening began
And doze through the sleigh-bells
Or more likely, rain
And give heartfelt thanks that we can
When the tree sprinkles light from the window...
