Blanket of love
03:12
|
|||
|
She wrapped me up in a blanket of love,
like only a woman knows how
And even though there’s a world between us,
her love is still with me now.
We met in the mountains, fell in love in the jungle,
so far away from home,
We went our own ways and came back together
to find our love had grown.
She's a free spirit woman
I'm a free spirit man
we don't know where we’re bound
and even though we are happy together
we don't want love to slow us down.
The more we’re together the better it gets,
but again we have to say goodbye.
We're both so young and flying free into that open sky.
She wrapped me up in a blanket of love, mysteriously charmed,
it shines on me like a beacon, i want to get back into her arms.
She's a free spirit woman
I'm a free spirit man
we don't know where we’re bound
and even though we are happy together
we don't want love to slow us down.
And the hours will pass
And change will come
and our love may get cold,
but for now I have a blanket of love for me to hold
She's a free spirit woman
I'm a free spirit man
we don't know where we’re bound
and even though we are happy together
we don't want love to slow us down.
And she's a free spirit woman
I'm a free spirit man
we know it’s love we found
And even though we love each other
We’re not ready to settle down.

Famous Man

Do you want to be a super star
Would you believe me if I said you are
You can create a masterpiece
It doesn’t create a mind at ease
My song is your song, maybe
Every song is our song too
Were sharing this world in this moment
Come on everyone we already have it all
Are you going to be a famous man
Creating gold with your hands
People lining up to be your friend
Maybe they will love you then
Where did it get you George Harrison
Where does it get you Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens)
Where does it get you
Where does it get you in the end
If you try to be someone else
That can get you down
Being someone else is not possible
Try you wont get nowhere
I want my masterpiece baby
Will it come to me
Don’t struggle don’t fight
Just let the music do what it do
Are you going to be a famous man
Creating gold with your hands
People lining up to be your friend
Maybe they will love you then
Where did it get you George Harrison
Where does it get you Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens)
Where does it get you
Where does it get you in the end

Blue mountain

Blue mountain standing strong
on a night warm and long
Blue mountain shining with the moon
are you sleeping or are you on the move
Blue mountain on the north side
tonight the other colors run and hide
Blue mountain flying in my eyes
tomorrow it will where a new disguise
And this road leads nowhere
Too late to turn back
I saw a blue mountain
And I should be happy with that
Blue Sky, wake me up wake me up,
if you can please fill up my golden cup
Blue Sky I am looking up at you
look at me and tell me what I should do
Blue Sky you’ve been around for so long,
do you have a clue whats going on
Blue Sky flying in my eyes
tonight you will where a new disguise
And this road leads nowhere
Too late to turn back
I saw a blue sky
And I should be happy with that
Blue Ocean where are you now, ive lost you somehow
Blue Ocean please wait for me I will be back relatively quickly
Blue World hear me singing, I can’t find any meaning
Blue World turning slowly waiting for my lover to hold me
This road leads nowhere
It's too late to turn back
I saw a blue mountain
And I am happy with that

Storm rising

a storm is rising rising up again
no use fighting natures gonna win
shadow walking wind blowing
no need for anybody knowing
where I'm going what I'm doing
is it all an illusion
eyes open I'm thinking
no need for any words escaping
shadow walking wind breaking
this is not a night for the taking
well now what is going on
i must be going wrong
trying to hold on
a storm is rising rising up again
no use fighting natures gonna win
a storm is rising rising up again
no use fighting natures gonna win
legs movin storm brewing
no need for nobody doing
worlds sleepin I'm creepin
Now the hunger is deepening
earth movin trees swaying
this is not a night for playing
shadow walking wind breaking
is this a night for the taking

Gypsy and the Beast
04:10
|

|
If you go east you’re sure to meet
The gypsy the monk and the beast
Its not there fault they were born that way
Born that way on a stormy day
The gypsy girl she was broken down
No more people were coming around
She lived her life all alone
Will things change she doesn’t think so
So she came up with an evil plan
To build a fire and destroy the land
But as the fire began to grow
She changed her mind, why I don’t know
Its not my fault I was born this way
Born this way. on a stormy day
The beast he cried I want some of your fun
I said ok now here is some
he said ok now I want more
I said im going to have to shut the door
That was not that long ago
I don’t know where he is anymore
But I hope that he found his way
Found his way through that stormy day
And at the top of the steepest hill
There lives a monk who says he is filled
Filled with love and an open mind
Never hating he is always kind
He looks through me and says hey now boy
Your going to have sorrow your going to have joy
Don’t worry about the way
Things will be fine even on a stormy day

Happy Train
03:10
|

Hello morning light
Shining so bright
I been trying to catch the day
But I keep losing my way
Though theres no reason why
This time im going to try
to make something shine
to please me time
Im ready to get onboard,
the happy train
Where everything is beautiful
In its own way
I gotta break on out of the same old patterns
that are just wasting my time
And get on out of all the restrictions that are in my mind
When that light comes shining through things are gonna change
Everthing’s gonna look much brighter, riding on the happy train
Do I have the energy
Have I been brainwatched completely
Am I in control
Of myself anymore
I know there’s beauty all around
I want to make it found
Sometimes it’s easy to see
Sometimes it feels so far away for me

Hong Kong Song
03:13
|

Im going to write you a song
sitting at the top of a hill in hong kong
I had you yesterday but now your gone
Off by yourself to taiwan
I would have gone with you but I wasn’t feel strong
I am wearing my sweater and the sun is shining on me
and now that your gone
I miss you in the dawn
I want you by my side
I want you in the morning
And I want you in the night
I want you in my arms
Cuz girl we get along
Girl we get along
Its ok to be apart
Im not ready to be attached at the heart
If were beginning now we’ve had a good start
Ever since cupid threw his dart
I remember where we were
When it flew through the air
And hit us both square
And left us both bare
so now I want you near
I want you here I want you near I want you dear
And if your in hong kong
There is a place on the hill
Where I wrote you a song
About how we are good together
now im here all alone
your love is like a dream Im happy to have known
maybe soon we will talk on the telephone
we both like to travel so I can meet you on the road
because when we are apart
I feel it in the heart
I want you by my side
I want you in the morning
And I want you in the night
I want you in my arms
Because girl we get along
Girl we get along

the prisoner

Hey man what do you see when youre walking free
Hey man how does it feel doing what you want is it real
They say I did something wrong locked me up, they cant take my song
I don’t mind shadows in the night creeping now as I wait for the light
Im alright alright
So when your walking around
Freedom found
Hear the sound
This time
Please tell my baby im behaving
And that I don’t need saving
Though my world is changing
Im alright
I just hope I can find something, something out of the nothing,
Being where I am right now my heart is breaking when im down
The world has cut me off, so much beauty has been lost
If I were to die in here would anyone even hear
So when your walking around
Freedom found
Hear the sound
This time
Please tell my baby im behaving
And that I don’t need saving
Though my world is changing
Im alright
Now my fire is burning
And now im not learning
Now Im yearning

Can't sit still
03:35
|
|||
|
Turn off the light I feel alright
No need for vision vision getting in my way
I don’t need anything, I don’t need anything
Im tired of running running in circles again
My mind is racing its getting the best of me
It keeps on telling me just what I need
I don’t need anything I don’t need anything
I want to feel free feel free just where I am
But I keep on moving up down and all around
This way and that trying to be found
Where, I don’t know
So I turn off the light and play a song in the dark
Its just me now, singing alone from the heart
If that don’t please me I don’t know what will
Im looking for some peace but I cant sit still
Im just a boy im just a man
Trying to make, make my own reality
I live in my own world I singing my own song
Everything I know, everything is in my head
All that is real is what I can feel
So I want to feel like a star shining through outer space
With a light so strong it could brighten every dark place
I want to turn on the light the light within my heart
Maybe its sleeping or lost someplace in the dark,
I had it once before and it left me so fast
I want it again, but this time to make it last

Rise moonfish
02:42

i went to the alleyway to see the moon
it was dancing in the water
and the stars were on the move
i went to the alleyway to see the moon
cause I was feeling lonesome and blue
it said
whens the last time you danced the night away
come on boy put yours blues away
when was the last time you danced the night away
some know how to work and some know how to play
yoga on a full moon is bad for your soul
you need some heavy rock and roll
yoga on a full moon is bad for your soul
you need some rum and some coca,
coca, coca, cola
hey mr moon my name is jon
i like it when your light is on
hey mr. moon can i do it too
you dont have to ask, your free to make your move
I am the moonfish, you are the sunfish
Lets get together to make the big switch
I am the sunfish, you are the moonfish
Lets get together to make a sweet wish
Rise moonfish, rise
