Ocean (Live) 05:19
lyrics
buy track
Colour me purple in your evening light Wash me upon your shore in the night Carry me above your crashing waves with ease Blow me along your coast in the breeze In my dreams I bathe in the water And sail to a faraway land In my dreams I fly across the ocean And I dance upon your sparkling sand Soothe me and heal me with your salty waves Hold me close and wash my tears away I hear your waters lap in deep conversation Within your presence I find my inspiration And I dance And I dance And I dance upon your sand

Eternal Beauty 03:32
lyrics

I feel the rush of life in me I feel the pain that bleeds in me When I am you and you are me When pure spirit lives in me I feel the sea-storm crushing me I feel the bright stars watching me When rain falls her tears touch me When trees hold and protect me Eternal beauty You are in all I see Eternal beauty You set me free I feel that memories fade into me I feel the passion born in me When the sun awakes for me When the wise moon sets for me And I feel anger burns in me I feel regret takes over me When fear and doubt capture me When gilt twists the truth in me

Freedom of my youth 04:21
lyrics

It’s a Tuesday afternoon I’m sitting in my room As the sunshine pours through my window The cars are passing by The busy old wind sounds a sigh I’m overwhelmed with emotion The freedom of my youth The way you look at me The way you sit and be I watch with inspiration As I daydream You remind me of who I am You tell me that I can And I like the way you make me feel The freedom of my youth All these things ahead of me All theses things unknown Memories of exploring And the ways in which I’ve grown I’m still here but nearly there In a world of ‘in-betweens’ Un-pealing secret layers Unveiling my new seems I question things I’m meant to say Instead I sit and pray I search for my own path I listen deep within I learn to walk before I run I study hard and earn my fun But nothing’s set in stone This is the freedom of my youth I’m following my own heart I’m ready for a new start I’m going where the wind blows And everywhere along the way I keep my goals all clear in sight And I keep my suitcase light I’m open for persuasion This is the freedom of my youth All these things ahead of me All theses things unknown Memories of exploring And the ways in which I’ve grown I’m still here but nearly there In a world of ‘in-betweens’ Un-pealing secret layers Unveiling my new seems I’m following my own heart And I’m ready for a new start I’m going where the wind blows And everywhere along the way I keep my goals all clear in sight And I keep my suitcase light I’m open for persuasion This is the freedom of my youth

One day 04:00

I’m sitting here as the rain is pouring As my tears are falling Down, down, down Wishing you weren’t walking On your own I want to be beside you I just want you to know You’re never alone I wanna laugh disco dance And have bubble baths with you Eat Chinese take-outs With chopsticks and you I want to kiss you Draw pictures and fly kites With you, you, you So I’ll wait for you ‘Till the miserable morning And leave the midnight search Behind in my mind I’ll be here when you need my arms to Keep you safe and warm And I will keep you Far away from harm I wanna laugh disco dance And have bubble baths with you Eat Chinese take-outs With chopsticks and you I want to kiss you Draw pictures and fly kites With you, you, you I’ve been wanting you for so long I’ve been wondering can I be the one? Can I be? Maybe baby I will be all yours one day

I let you go 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Sky-scapes on hill-scapes mountains set the land And I walked with you as once we walked hand in hand The sky lines the hillside the grass against the sand And I sang to you as once we sang, hand in hand I let you go where have you gone? I let you go and it’s one year on I let you go and it’s been so long Where have you gone? You told me then that you loved me so I feared if your love I returned I could never let you go You looked upon gently underneath starlight But I told you my heart I could not give, not this or any night I thought that you would wander for a while But I never thought you would travel so far I miss your eyes yours smile I think of you each night I ask the angels where you’ve gone I pray the next will be the day of your return at dawn Days are long and all is lost as I’m without you here For I’m a fool who loved you true but my heart froze in fear I feared that I might love you more and you would break my heart But now I know this could not be worse than one year apart And when you return to me I’ll tell you of my love And I’ll never let you feel alone I wish on stars above Let my love return to me to him my heart belongs I will not let my fear return and of love I’ll write my songs

Firelight 03:42
lyrics
buy track
It was the first day of spring equinox on Easter morn Flowers began to bloom under the full moon taking form And silently I watch the stars by firelight glow Flames of wisdom sparking ideas to grow The night so young the moon so old I felt new life beginning to unfold Fire burning Dancing turning Drumming learning By firelight and O Dark eves turn lighter and morning is brighter As the shorter days gain length The grass grows green greener and the wind is warmer All life is gathering strength My cold cheeks see the sunlight shine from far behind the cloud line Blue skies remember their place in the summer and O And silently I watch the stars by firelight glow Flames of wisdom sparking ideas to grow The night so young the moon so old I felt new life beginning to unfold

Brown-Haired Maiden fresh and fair Light and bright with lightsome air Tuesday when I trusted the All the week was worth to me Young were we when first fond love Found us in the hazel grove Sweet thy kisses were to me And thy voice sweet melody Brown-Haired Maiden with a witching smile Full of love and free from guile Softly ‘neath the Hawthorn tree Came thy whispered truth to me God be with the Brown- Haired Maid In the sunshine and in the shade Every Tuesday saved for thee Brings a year of bliss to me

Fly 04:00
lyrics

Don’t listen to the anguish inside It’s only telling you to hide Don’t listen to the fear outside It only wants you to cry And don’t let the dark clouds Overshadow your glow The only truth I know Is to shine my light and O Fly away on wings of love Fly away to peace above Fly away in search of the new And fly away across oceans blue Let the golden rays warm your face As you enter a new time and space Let the wind and rain wash away your pain There is new pleasures to gain They say that time is a healer Lets pray that saying is true From dark to light and day and night Comes the time to take flight Fly away on wings of love Fly away to peace above Fly away in search of the new And fly away across oceans blue across oceans blue across oceans blue

In your dreams 02:54
lyrics

The sunlight shines on the ocean blue The waves break free as you call my name I see you walking that path alone I’m wondering what you’re thinking Is it true do you think of me? Or have you left ‘us’ all behind you? I really need to know Am I still part of your future Yeah and I I wanna be, I wanna be In your dreams You are here in mine Yeah and I wanna be, I wanna be In your dreams Babe you’re here in mine The moonlight shines on the cold grey hills The stars gleam bright in the midnight sky If I wish upon the brightest star Maybe you’ll return to me Is it true do you think of me? Or have you left ‘us’ all behind you? I really need to know Am I still part of your future Yeah and I I wanna be, I wanna be In your dreams You are here in mine Yeah and I wanna be, I wanna be In your dreams Babe you’re here in mine Babe you’re here in mine Babe you’re here in mine Babe you’re here in mine

Dark clouds 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Dark clouds of your fear returning When the light is lost Remember there is always a path to follow Through the snow fields and night frost Listen to your heart’s words of warning Don’t follow what you think you know Walk through waves of wisdom And forests filled with snow Let your mind be taken over Allow your intuition to rule If you are ready to let go Your passion becomes your tool, say Fear I won’t let you return I’ll crush you up and make your burn Fear I won’t let you return From you I’ll teach my mind to learn Fear I won’t let you take hold My heart is too string and vision bold Fear I won’t let you take hold It’s clear to me you freeze me cold These dark clouds I’ll start to deal with While the days are young I’ll banish this weather from my kingdom With weapons from my tongue I stood in my truth in the light And I ran through obstacles ahead The shapes and shadows in front of me All heard me when I said From you I’ll teach my mind to learn To learn

Home 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I never thought I’d find you here And I never thought love could be so near But now I feel my heart can’t be wrong Now I feel I’ve found where I belong Home Feels like home Feels like home Feels like home I’ve been living in the north of this isle And I’ve been loving you and this weather for a while The beauty I feel I can’t pin down It’s sort of like a Sunday in this town There is no reason to question why The mountain stream reflects so in the sky So a mystery it shall remain Now I know that no place is the same as home

For my love 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Early I wept one evening in June As the clouds gathered softly around the moon I stared at the sky for the light it was dim And I thought of the time when I held him For I know not where my love has gone And I know not with whom he shares a home For the time has past with no words to say But this song I’ll sing for my love each day
