We

She is free, but she does not know the price she has to pay
And he could be a lover in the life she leads throughout the day
And they both could live together
They could live in peace
They both could be in love together
And make the world at ease
Floating through a sea of troubles
That the world around them makes
And it really doesn't matter when you know love's pattern
Because you know that that is all it takes

And she could be a mother and a daughter at the same time for a man
And he could be a father and a son for her future family plan
And they could raise a lot of healthy children
Bring 'em up in harmony
And teach them all the good things in this life
But most important teach them how to be
To be open and attentive and loving
When the world around them shakes
And it really doesn't matter when you know love's pattern
Because you know that that is all it takes

She is thee, she's every woman that's living in the world today
And he is me, and I'm looking for the woman that tells me she is free
And we all can live together
We all can live in peace
We all can be in love together
And make the world at ease
Working through a sea of troubles
That the world around us makes
And it really doesn't matter when you know love's pattern
Because you know that that is all it takes



The Ballad Of Casey Deiss

Twas a man of youthful features
Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes
Watching out but looking inward
Tall and stately and full of life

In his life he spoke but rarely
In his mind he cried for light
Painting perceptions trying to capture
That which he saw in his questioning strife

Once in Lisbon, twice in London
Travelling around for all of his time
Looking for and finding a goddess
He took Diana to be his wife

Of the children they'd begotten
Two had died without knowing life
And the third I know not whereof
But if she lives, she will yet be kind

Casey had a mark of simple value
He had a star between his eyes
In his hands he held an axe blade
The Greek symbol of thunder and fire

On a night when the heavens were crying
He went down and took his blade
Chopping wood to warm his hearthside
The lightning came and my brother died

Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards
Tell him no tales of the canyon's might
But wish him peace and eternal wisdom
For he has died and he died in light



Victoria Emmanuele

Victoria Emmanuele, she looks so clean and lithe
Victoria Emmanuele, finds it hard to pay the price
Victoria, your mouth is open
You look like you're catchin' flies
You're sick and tired of all the games
The polyglot and the lies
Won't you,

Sing this song while you're walkin through your life
Walk this way and you know it's gotta treat you right
Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, she's stickin' to her guns at last
Victoria Emmanuele, she's sheddin' off an ugly past
She's subsidized by lots of love
Morality has just begun
Filled to the brim with light divine
She never feels the need to run
And she,

Sings this song while you're walkin through your life
Walk this way and you know it's gotta treat you right
Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, beginning to believe in life
Victoria Emmanuele, discovered how to know the height
Victoria Emmanuele, reality's not hard to find
And all your days and all your ways
It's the only thing we must define
And you,

Sing this song while you're walkin through your life
Walk this way and you know it's gotta treat you right
Victoria Emmanuele, is all right by me

Victoria Emmanuele, she's keepin' on in every way
She gets a little tired from time to time
But everybody does today
Too many people got specialized
Ain't nobody got the time to sit with their friends
And spend some love and put the washin' on the line



Bright White

Now I told you a long time ago
That I'd hold you
Never let you go behind
Anywhere I might flow
And I know you believe in me
And I hope you are seeing my dream
A whole lot of people in this world
Is a running around

And it's a long way in the face of fear
And there's a lot of men left without any tears
Anymore
And money is the name in the game of fame
But the music don't come out quite the same
Anymore

It's all about a bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
Fill me with your joy and rock me tonight
I said, bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way

I told you a long time ago
That I'd hold you
Never let you go behind
Anywhere I might flow
And I'll hold you in winter and spring
And behold you in everything I sing
Being in your arms is just like coming home

And it's a long way in the face of fear
And there's a lot of men left without any tears
Anymore
And money is the name in the game of fame
But the music don't come out quite the same
Anymore

It's all about a bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
Fill me with your joy and rock me tonight
I said, bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way
Bright white light
Shining through your mind and guiding your way


L Ballade

In the consecrated chambers
Of a mountain's winter day
I left her at the turning
To go on her seeking way

To pass o'er meadows green and bare
Or brown as her auburn hair
O'er all the waters on the face of the earth
To find that I really care

And the myriad reflections of myself
In her buttons on her oversize navy coat
But only reflections and never an image
In her mind's unfathomable moat

But some castles where she wanders
Are yet crumbling into dust
In this house of visions on top of the hill
The glass has turned to rust

So never again will I look in her eyes
Nor shall she hear my voice
But I hope she will find a better man
To love him and rejoice

And he will turn the secret key
Nay, I know it's not up to him
But somehow in his words and love
Answer her every whim

So seek ye lass for what you wish
But in your troubled heart
And let not your mind race ahead of your breast
For the quicker shall you part

And wait for the click that you speak dear of
And never will you run
light will splinter through open clouds
And you'll look straight at a face like the sun



Early Morning Hours

In the early morning hours,
When the dew is on the flowers
I can see
The day is near

And I can hear the church bells ringing
I can hear the birds are singing
Yes I hear
And it is real

And the splendor of the mountains
Through the glittering, splashing fountains
Are the thing that stops my breath
And make me weep

And the times that I spent roaming
Were a bright and shining omen
O'er the sea
Oh freedom be

And here I am still smiling
In the intricate asylum of society
Well I got to be

And the effluvium of excess
It is hidden at the behest of mentality
Of a low degree

And though it seems unstoppable
It is not yet improbable
That the man can have his cake and eat it too

And the times that he spent roaming
Were a bright and shining omen
O'er the sea
Oh freedom be

And I have fended off the dangers
From the friends and from the strangers
And the force is still inside me
And you know it only serves to guide me
Let me be
Only a day goes by you're free
Listen to me my friend you'll see
Listen to me

Listen to me my friend you'll see
Listen to me

And when the light it comes to guide me
I will not bow down and hide me,
no siree,
respectfully

And it is better to be humble
Than pontificate and bumble
Through the spree
Of the people tree

And like the Martlett of a legend
I am on my way to heaven
If I do not touch the ground
I'll make it home

And the times that we'll be roaming
Are a bright and shining omen
O'er the sea, Oh Lord, Lord freedom be

And I have fended off the dangers
From the friends and from the strangers
And the force is still inside me
And you know it only serves to guide me
Let me be
Listen to me my friend you're free
Listen to me my friend you'll see
Listen to me



I Took A Walk

I took a walk through the fields of America
I'll tell you what I saw in the middle of the garbage and erotica
I saw a man in pain crying to be free
Children in the rain, yelling out their glee
Well, singers on the plain, fused in harmony

Hey, Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee

People I have seen in the streets and communities
Running in a mortal fear of the violence and its companies
I saw a man in hand flying to the moon
Well, a rich man of the lands dying all too soon
I say people in the bands you really ought to learn this tune

Hey, Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee

I took a walk through the fields of America
I'll tell you what I saw, I saw a murder in a place called Attica
I saw a man called power who said you've got to fit my vision
I saw a man called law said if you don't I'm going to put you in the prison
I saw a man called peace who was shaking with the laughter of derision

Hey, Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America, they're gonna to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America, they're gonna to love you, please be true to thee

I took a walk through the fields of America
I'll tell you what I saw
I saw the blizzards and the tropics
I saw mountain streams running free and clear, Lord
Creatures of my dreams so beautiful I shed my tears
You great and wondrous land
I wonder why you cannot hear me now

Hey, Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America, they want to love you, please be true to thee
Oh America

America, America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America, America
America, America, America, America, America



Early In The Night

Early in the night
I can hear them crying early in the night
I can hear them crying early in the ...
Don't you see them goin' day by day
All the days are the same they say, well they
Keep on walking through their lives
All the days just go
Early in the night
Crying in the night, yeah, oh

I say, some will give and some will take
Stupidity is a choice you make
And the days keep rolling through their lives
All the days just go
Early in the night, oh
Burning in the night, yeah, oh yeah

Early in the night
I can see them hiding, hiding from the light
Hiding from the light ...
Hiding from the light ...
Hiding from the light ...
Hiding from the light ...
Hiding from the light



She Was Waiting For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And
You Know I Love You Baby But It's Getting Too Heavy To Laugh
(Woman)

The glow
Around your face
When you see
The lightning race
I know
I'm very near
And I can hear
The thunder

A woman
Of perplexity
A woman
For eternity
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man
I'm down
On my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe me
It's hard
To fall out
Of love
Completely
It's harder
To find a way
To come back
Discreetly
To speak
Of things anew
To weep
In quiet blue
Brocade
Upon your bed
Memories should fade
At least of you
A sceptre
Of ice and fire
A spectre
Of my desire
A girl-child
Of such loveliness
The woman
Of my emptiness
A woman
Of famed renown
A woman
Who kicks the clown
A woman
Of the land
A woman
For a man



Hey Miss Lonely

Hey miss lonely, won't you come here soon
Have you been standing on a star-flaked snowdune
Lookin' at the moon
Feelin' pretty funny sayin' what is that?
Hey miss lonely, don't you know, where are you at?

Well now, hey miss lonely, have you been to school?
Have you been learnin' everything that you can
About the golden rule
Teacher tellin' you who you ought to be
Hey miss lonely, don't you know, you ought to be free?

Hey miss lonely, don't you feel so sad?
Things are going by in a blinding flash
It's just a passing fad
Money's quite a problem got to work to see the world
Take a letter here, bring a message there
You start to wonder if anyone cares at all, cares at all

Fade awake thought words, foldaway bed
Redwinged blackbird, fly away Fred
Soaring free and easy high on a stormy sea, my baby
Don't you know that you can come to me
Come my baby, don't you know that you can come to me
Come my baby, don't you know that you can come to

Hey miss flipped-out, don't you ever want to scream and shout?
Telling this sphere about all the wrong there is, my dear
Got to remember that you're part of the day
Hey miss lonely, you can stay, don't go away

Well now, hey miss lonely, don't you feel the pain
I keep spending my cash, and I'm talking this trash
And I think I'm going to miss the train
Even though you're going to Morocco in the Spring
Hey miss lonely, don't forget your king
Will you remember to ring?

Because he's feelin' very lonely
And he's empty again, yeah
He's put you in a big brass bed now, mama
And it's tomorrow then
Got a lot of faith in his love for you be sure
Hey miss lonely, won't you be his cure
Nobody's pure,
Have fun on your tour



Do You Wonder

Do you ever see what you want to be
Do you wonder
Do you ever feel that you're not being real
Hear the thunder
And woman you're so enticing
You're the cake and not the icing
Can't you see?
And you'll wake up one of these mornings
To the sound of your own drummer
Wait and see

And you'll wake up feeling open,
Filled with the force of hoping
Makin' your big decision
In the face of all derision
And you'll find it so insightful
You'll be feeling so delightful
Can't you see?
And you'll wake up one of these mornings
To the sound of your own drummer
Wait and see

In the space that you're displacing
Ain't no sense in your evading
How to be
And the direction that you're facing
Ain't no use in all your racing
Just you be
And woman you're so enticing
You're the cake and not the icing
Can't you see?
And you'll wake up one of these mornings
To the sound of your own drummer
Wait and see

Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder, do you wonder



Moonshine

Yellow flowers
Bought today
I bought 'em from the man who lives in the other way
Wilting flowers
Couldn't stay
Not enough water gotta fill 'em to the brink today

Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming ...

I don't believe it can be verified
I don't believe it can be put right
It's too confused in all of its facets
It's too complex in all of its ways
They just continuing to tell me their trouble
They just continuing to tell me their lies
They don't believe in helping their brother
They're standing still and hearing his cries
If you believe that you got the power
If you believe it deep in your heart
You're on the run in front of a gunner
You're on the run and no one said start

I said moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming ...

Red moon rising, dogs are howling
Throwing stones at Willy on the other side
Octogenarians intermarrying
What you gonna do when the light goes out?
Madly scrambling in the brambling
Up the mountain like a frightened trout
Killing relieves the hunting imperative
Maiming relieves the sadist's delight
They don't believe in what they are doing
I do believe that they are uptight
Safe and secure in maudlin commodities
Smug and pedantic into their lives
Stupidity can never make answers
Pathos is there in all of its might

I said moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain

Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter
Talk about after, yeah, there's gonna be laughter
Talk about after, heh, there's gonna be laughter someday
Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter someday

Another sunshine
Oh, sunshine
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, yeh
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, ah
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new ...



Breakthrough

All your tears come rolling down your cheeks
I been watching you build this for several weeks
Do you want to stay with me now, do you want to be so free, so free

Eight long years, you've gotta forget the days of pain
All your life you cannot fight every drop of rain
If you need me call me over, if you want me hold me closer, so near

Don't wake up and start your day so down
I'll be there to make like I'm your clown
With your laughter you fill my heart now, with your sorrow you're tearing me apart, my heart

Turn me round, I've got to find a way
Woman gotta live, gotta be a mother
Woman gotta give, gotta be a lover
Woman ought to live her life the way she feel
Woman ought to have the choice to make the deal

Hush your crying, brush my lips on yours
Miss your sighing, swept out on the moors
In your pain it's not so plain if I'm the one
That is to blame, my name

When he's grown and gone his way in time
Send him strong and full of love and lime
He's the one now make him happy, we're not done yet
I'll be his pappy, he's free



Troof

And the truth shall make you free
And the light is all around us
Even though some people really couldn't give it a damn
But those people gonna find out that the world
Is here to feel
And oh my God I do feel real, feel so real, real

Take my heart and lead me through
Will you be with me tomorrow?
Spinning my soul with all your love and care
And if you do decide to leave me
Then you must know the way I feel
And oh my God I do feel real, feel so real, real

Since the time I saw your face
I have wondered how to touch you
Bright light shining through the depths
Of my very core
And if you do decide to leave me
I will lose my even keel
But I'll still know I did feel real, felt so real, real

And the truth shall make us free
And I speak of a love unending
Even though some people really won't give it a chance
But we are here to make it stronger
For as many as want to feel
And oh my God, we could be real, could be real, real



Song For Northern Ireland

Come to thee, the peace, on a green and lovely island
If you please, if you please
Where the gorse is brightly growing
In the mirror of the morning
And the sweeping hills surround you
And the time it cannot bind you
With the cattle grazing slowly
While the sun is setting lowly to the ground
Such a golden sun above thee
When the rain is not upon thee
And the emerald glint abounds thee
And the colors dost astound thee
Can you see them through the bloodbath?
Can you see them through the tears your people shed?
And the wrath of God now smolders
And the weight's upon your shoulders
And the weight is never ending
'Till you're stopping all the killing
Don't you see?



Mr. President

Great God! What do you see
It's falling to the ground
The very fabric of our lives
Is turning upside down
We learn to kill before we read
To turn the bastard round
We got the means to foil the world
Does that mean we got to do it now?

Hey Mr. President I really do hope
That you don't watch your T.V.
And keep your fingers
Away from those buttons

For me and my family and my friends afar
And the ones we haven't met
We are aware of your sophisticated toys
And the violence they beget
We don't approve of the way things are
Much less the present set
Things gotta change in the next ten years
'Cause we don't intend to buy the farm yet

Mr. Prime Minister won't you administer
Decrees to decrease the war
It really ain't funny when you're
Makin' that money from

Gore and blood and spillin' his guts
And he really doesn't understand why
We been fillin' his head with
Vicarious dreams, 'bout the paradise
In the sky, and if you don't kill him
We'll kill you is our insidious reply
'Cause it's gone full circle
And returned again
And nobody really knows why

Hey Mr. Premier won't you take another year
To let your people be
Elevating, tolerating
All that they could be creating
