She sends prayers to comfort you; her love rides the wind
Her heart wants to be with you, to feel you there again
You made her a daisy chain, and brushed tears away
You said you’d return again, to see another day
Wheatfields will sway; water will flow
Our lark will sing, sing, and bring you home.
She prays in the morning, she prays through the night
That you won’t be wounded, given strength to fight
He made her a daisy chain; he kissed tears away
Your presence so dear to her, will bring you home again

Ghost Love

Trapped in a castle – what a place to be?
I hardly know why I’m here or where I’m going
I think I’m dreaming but I really cannot tell
Am I stuck in the mists of time?
I’m nobody’s father; I’m nobody’s son,
No one’s brother, I just don’t belong
I keep hearing myself calling her to come home to me
But my voice fades on the wind, and there are no answers I can see
I watch for her at windows of rooms that see no dawns
I walk among the people of future eras
Passing through walls is such an easy game to play
I please them with their tiny minds
A bullet passed through me in sixteen forty-five
They don’t consider that I might feel I’m still alive
If I could only find her, the lady I love most
Perhaps she could help me die; until that time you might call me a ghost
Doubt thou the stars are fire; doubt all that’s above;
Doubt truth is a liar; but never doubt that I love.
I reach out to touch all of those who pass me by
Won’t someone catch my troubled hand?
When I met her, I was floating on air
She threw her arms around me, and we didn’t have a care
She said she’d be at my side; that we were blessed from above
Could she have known back then that her man would become a ghost in love
So, this is how it feels, to be a ghost in love.
Oh, this is how it feels, to wait for the one you love.
I so know how it feels to lose the one you love.
This is how it feels.

I Know You Are Near

When the snow lines the window, and I’m moved by the light
When the trees are made of moonbeams, in a silvery night
When the flash of a bird’s wing means the flight holds no fear
When the sky brings a rainbow
That’s when I know you – that’s when I know you are near
When the moon’s on the water and the stars bright above
When the feel of the springtime brings the meaning of love
When a storm passes over and the sky becomes clear
When the lark flies the meadow
That’s when I know you – that’s when I know you are near
For love marks the seasons; it’s all love can do
They’re always together and they all become you
Butterflies, butterflies fly, so why cannot we?
Nature’s eyes, nature’s eyes smile; and there in that place we are free
When the shape of a snowflake resembles a star
When a breeze on the hillside brings the clouds from afar
When the leaves gold and trembling hold the dew like a tear
When new rain brings welcome coolness
That’s when I know you – that’s when I know you are near
For love marks the seasons – chorus
When the flame of a candle burns through the night
When the winter is ending, the first snowdrop in sight
When the mist of the morning hails all you hold dear
When the seasons remember
That’s when I know you – that’s when I know you are near
For love marks the seasons – chorus

Kiss
06:42

I thought I was a portrait, with a face I could hide from the world
As she closed her eyes beside me, we kissed and made love on the wall
And didn’t mind who would have seen it all
I thought we could make a difference, with what we might show to the world
She closed her eyes beside me, so we kissed and made love on the wall
And didn’t care who the hell saw it all.
There is no explanation for how love goes; there is no equation for what love can hold,
There is no exception to the book of the lover’s rules,
So you can kiss, you can kiss, and damn it all
Yes, you kiss, and not mind who sees it all
Know that a moment will last forever, where flowers will stay fresh in her hair
Forever a golden meadow, in our passionate embrace on the wall,
So we kiss, unafraid to show it all
So when love is a picture, it opens up doors; the sweep of a brush stroke breaks every law; and when that boundless elation is entirely yours
Oh you kiss, yes you kiss, and damn it all
Now we kiss, and not mind who sees it all

Fool For Love
06:26
|

When you’re looking for love you’re like an earthworm
Finding your way up to the sky
Love’s like looking for a needle in a haystack
You’re the luckiest if you get to see the eye
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from above, I’ve been a fool for love.
When you’re talking and there is no conversation
When you stand with roses waiting for the train
When you move a dozen mountains and feel good about that
It doesn’t mean that someone else will do the same
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from above, I’ve been a fool for love.
There’s nothing giving you a signal that you’re overboard
There’s nothing nudging you to tell that you’re wrong
There’s only starriness and loveliness and friendship at the time
But it’s something that will never last for long
There’s not a hint that in your strange imagination
There’ll be a clue you might be stepping out of line
There’s only cluelessness and dreams gone wrong and roses in your hand
A face that can only say life is fine
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from above, I’ve been a fool for love.
When all the orchestras are playing and there’s so much comfort
To build up walls of steel and crap seems so unfair
When all the blandness and the ice cream make you wonder where you’ve gone
Sit with roses in the dark and who will care?
Why is it nearness brings so many complications?
Why do the fault lines reappear without the cracks?
There’s no solutions that can answer all the questions that I have
Roses wither in the dark and that’s a fact
I’ve been a fool for love, I’ve been a fool for love, I thought it came from high above, I’ve been a fool for love.

Eastern Dream

Love, sweet as honey, comes so clear in a dream
A hand print on damp sand dunes, speaks of all we have seen
I saw you in a vision, in the desert afar
You freed me from my prison, held by a dark star
Hark, now, see my dream in the night
Know now, how sand glows in moonlight
Be now the one you were long meant to be
Stay now in our warm eastern dream
Middle – ooh ah.
We journeyed there by camel; the stars were the brightest I’d seen
I prayed to our dear Hanna, to bring a vision to me
Then came my salvation; it rose with the warm Eastern sun
We would lie at the oasis till the spell was undone
Hark, now, we are safe on this night
Know now we are freed from the fight
Be now the one you were long meant to be
Stay now in our warm eastern dream
So put your hand now in my hand and the love we have shared
Will flow back into us, I am no longer scared
I’ll know we at last reached heaven by the smile on your face
We made the cold dark journey, and arrived with good grace
Hark, now, hold my dream in the night
Know now, the soft dunes in moonlight
Be now the one you were long meant to be
Stay now in our warm eastern dream

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
