BOOMERANG Happy New Year, my darling Kiss the future, forget about the past In your presence, I feel weightless You are holy, my missing half Without you, I was dissolving I was stretched across the Wailing Wall Around you, I am revolving Without you, I am nothing at all. ch. Your love it saves me, tidal waves me We’re like a forest fire I will always come back to you like a boomerang I hear the sound of that high lonesome A thousand sighs crystallized Our love is beyond our knowing Stately, in azure, majestic light Lay before me gold and silver And a promise of eternity None of that to me matters I’d trade all that for one glimpse of thee. ch. I feel your body move beneath me Swelling, undulating Like the ocean, light in motion I am kneeling, I am waiting Our love is storming, oceanic I will throw stars at your feet I love you down to the marrow Come inherit the earth with me ch.

FRIENDSHIP SET ON FIRE Your hillflower grace, your gentle face, shimmering in the sun Your pilgrim soul, I paid the toll, my heart weighs a ton For all we have endured, a lifetime in the mire Then I took your hand and we leaped out...a friendship set on fire ch. Look at us now, we made something beautiful Look at us now, we made something beautiful I miss you now, I'm trying now for the night to more than pay For the aimless, longing of the dying day. I stood by you, you stood by me, when everything was dire Now we are one, my love, at long last….a friendship set on fire ch. I am receding out, pulled lower than the tide of dreams I am conquered, I surrender…to this tempest sea Our souls ascended, higher than we dared desire And then the darkness gave way to light, our friendship set on fire ch. We took the pain, and made it something beautiful We took the shame, and made it something beautiful We blew up the past, and made it something beautiful Look at us now, we made something beautiful

This is Ours 05:35
lyrics

THIS IS OURS Come to me now - Lovie baby Time to set out - Our reverie We ventured out - A pilgrimage Full of ardor - We made a pledge As rogue lovers - Libertines This petty world - Can't hold our dreams We're wanderlust - Fathomless Sublime, my love – Transcendent ch. Deeper now – waves crashing We see it now – aurora flashing Look at the stars, this is ours I yearn for you - I burn for you I hunger for you - I'd die for you I'm awed by thee - A mystery Mesmerizing - and beguiling I'm disarmed by you - becharmed by you You, I venerate - You, my soul mate I ache for you - languish without you How I long for you - I'm in anguish without you ch. Reverie – sweet revelry Castles in Spain Spin me like a weather vane Look at the stars, this is ours We reunited - Then we confided Then we collided - then we ignited ch.

Always 05:28

ALWAYS Your eyes are like truth serum You shook me down to my core I couldn’t hold back these feelings anymore I want you every waking hour In every daylit dream And in all those little spaces in between We made our perfect moment Watching day turn into night The astral plane is about to take flight Now don’t worry baby No, it won’t be too long I stayed up for days writing you this song (ch) Sha-la-la-la-la... You gave me new eyes And reason to dream new dreams You’re with me now in silence and mystery True love is perfect balance Where everyone stays whole You stay on your wave and I’ll stay on my road Well, the bells of our union Chime infinitely We will be one somewhere we can’t see (ch) Now you know how much I want you You’re haunting me…and I haunt you. I’m always with you…in stride with you Beside you….inside you In love with you…always. You’re always with me…in stride with me Beside me….inside me In love with me…always. (ch)

GERONIMO I grab my heart and go It’s the only way I know Honey, take my hand I don’t know where we’ll land Oh Geronimo You know I got it bad Feel like I’m going mad I’m crazy in love I don’t care who knows Oh - Geronimo Baby don’t be afraid They can’t hurt us now Like the motion of the sea Our love’s a mystery Olly olly oxen free You look me in the eye You read my troubled mind I was stumbling around In the lost and found ‘Til you came along and lit my world I was made to see the light in you Made to fit inside you I only know one truth, You are my muse I will love you ‘til the end of time So look at the stars Honey, we are You’re the heart of my heart, The soul of my soul Come on Lovie Baby let’s go

Calliope 04:17
lyrics

CALLIOPE I was waiting in the station You were a spangled Spanish queen A vision all a splendor Specter of my dreams Your sad eyes enraptured me And so I held fast You got that sidelong beauty That does not photograph ch. Come shine on me…something has awakened me Now I can see…the vision of Calliope And something went off inside As I shared my awful truth You just looked at me and said ‘That’s how I feel too.’ I’d always felt something Between the light and me Now I know you’ve always been And will always be. ch. We set sail into the headwind One light above the sea This love is as old as time We’ve asked and we received. And we’re just two passengers Who just happened upon We vowed to hold on to this gift ‘Til it’s time to pass it on. ch. I wrote songs to ghost lovers That never had an ear The vision of Calliope Is getting very clear.

Sunshine Smile 04:10

SUNSHINE SMILE I was on the outside I was looking for a place to hide I was getting blown away I couldn’t find the leeward side Hear that slow symphony Build like the ocean’s roar She’s got that lunar beauty Sends me crashing on the shore I asked the mirror in my mind Who is my speeding muse? I slam the shutters of my eyes To see it’s you. ch. See her coming She’s my sole desire She got a sunshine smile Love light shining Soul deep desire She’s got a sunshine smile And the ground beneath me shakes Time now to be brave. ‘Cos those who stand for nothing Get nothing but age. The door swings wide open You freeze and watch it close, Beware the unlived life It’s like a lethal dose. ch.

Our Own Private Nowhere 05:01
lyrics

OUR OWN PRIVATE NOWHERE Please – help me to find me Please – I feel like I’m whipping in the breeze You reversed me and you immersed all of my fears You nursed me with Nick Drake songs that filled my ears ch. What a different sound This second time around We dared dream aloud In our own private nowhere I have loved thee long before the sun shined Four horseman ride, seven trumpets blow, and still our love survives ch. We rode on fate's spinning wheels Impelled by desire Broke through barbed wire To our own private nowhere Your eyes are like the sun shining on the sea Brilliant, blinding, colors colliding unto me ch. Our dreams go past the dawn And the emerald beyond We ventured on To our own private nowhere I was born a skin too few All I aspire is to love you We are gloriously ensnared In our own private nowhere Coda: Our own private nowhere Take us higher than we’ve ever been before Our own private nowhere We’re going out farther than we’ve been before To our own private nowhere Hear them bells chime infinitely

LOVIE GIRL Lovie girl You’re all that’s pure in this world All that the light touches could be yours Just be brave, walk through this door O Lovie girl You’re all that’s right in this cruel world Time to wipe away all those tears Dreamland awaits, nothing to fear Lovie girl You could light up this dark world Lift up your arms, reach for the sky Shine on baby, shine your light Lovie girl Be brave, little solider girl If you’re feeling like you can’t pull through You can borrow all my faith in you Lovie girl You’re all that’s good in this crazy world I could only see what was dreary and dull But you showed me what was beautiful My Lovie girl….lovie girl…
