Книга Песен

And some people say that

We shouldn't cross this line

But there is no line

Only the sky

I want to see you smile

Want to feel us get up and fly

Shouldn't we?

Things gonna get real slow today

Things gonna get real slow today

Takes one prisoner

Takes one to show him the way

Then comes this lesson in natural history

MOTHER

This city is on fire tonight

Sweet forest fire silent and unseen

The sleepers awaken

Your eyes are open I know you're smiling at me

Some people say you're not here anymore

But your trees stand proud

And laugh and let them pass

So mischievous and holy

And this is a question I'll never want to ask

There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing

There's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea

I am your child, mother

Crying to be consoled

I recognize you now

Do you recognize me?

There's a part of me that wants to be silent

Immersed in your movement

Stung by your grace

And here is your song, and I'll sing it

I'm coming home

I've never been away

There's a moon out there and she wants to be growing

There's a river down here and she wants to go back to the sea

I am your child, mother

Crying for you to console me

Now that I know you

Do you recognize me?

There's a moon out here and she wants to be growing

Here's a river down here and she wants to go back to

the sea

I am your child, mother

Crying to be consoled

Now that I know you

Recognize me!

RADIO LONDON

UP IN SMOKE

Book of love in front of me

Tries to bite my chin;

Angel right behind my shoulder

Waits to do me in;

I wish I had a heart

To walk me like a dog -

But life's a sweet thing,

Going up in smoke.

Used to be a passenger,

Now they take me as their own;

Used to be a fisher-king

But now my cross is gone.

I wish I had some faith,

But all I do is talk -

And life's a sweet thing,

Going up in smoke.

We could be engineers,

We could drive a coach;

Could be real New Age

With positive approach.

I wish I still could laugh,

I wish it was a joke -

But life's a sweet thing,

Going up in smoke.

ELOISE

Eloise

Standing in the rain outside

Wondering if the sky is really made out of air

There she is, always looking right at me

But is she? I can't really tell

And I don't really care

Eloise

Something of the child

Something of the bride

And sometimes

Just not there.

Help me, please,

Discover about your secret life

And the purpose behind the clothes that you wear;

I just need some time to settle down,

Just need some time to settle down,

I need to get my feet on the ground,

Before I can dance with you;

But now,

I can't even see you now;

And she smiles, and she turnes,

And she says: "I know,

I know…"

Eloise

Staring at the sea

Seven white birds

Sing

Lost in her hair;

I've heard she is

Lethal for the likes of me

Well, I can't really tell

And I don't really care.

I just need some time to settle down,

Just need some time to settle down,

Just need to get my feet on the ground,

Before I can dance with you;

But now,

I can't even see you now;

And she smiles, and she turnes,

And she says: "I know,

I know…"

HEADING FOR THE ABSOLUTE ONE

Women today gained entrance to the City Of Light:

Oh Joy Undescribed — security there was never tigh

Saint Peter by the pearly gate -

He looks funny, but he's doing alright;

He's taking the preventive measures -

Must have been too late…

The lingeried ladies are walking on by;

The angels take cover — they think it isn't right;

And if the party's gonna go on tonight -

I don't know, who will set it all straight;

Who'll take away the empty bodies

And paint the clouds white — white again;

So, my love,

I think that enough is enough;

Tired of this second-hand fun,

I'm heading for the absolute one.

Descriptions in the holy books leave me feeling rather stiff,

For there's much more that my spirit has to give;

We played it perfect for the moon and the sun;

This story's over, the credit is gone -

So it's one for the road — and I'm

Heading for The Absolute One.

BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

These are the best years of our lives — sweet and peaceful

The best years of our lives — enchanted and fey

Like the seeds we're sown,

Like the seeds trampled -

After the gardener did what he's paid to do,

Now it is finally time…

These are the best years of our lives — it's all that matters

The best years of our lives — fragile and clean;

Like a child, we're blessed;

Like a child — spaced out;

And may Lord have mercy on those, who invoke our displeas

In these best years of our lives.

And I'm coming from a different world;

And I really dont know how it's done here;

And I would honestly ask you to help me, babe,

To work with me, trust in me,

And cover my ass — and then I'll look away…

These are the best years of our lives -

and our captain's locked up;

And his choir of angels waits for this city to fall.

Before this sky, and them bells ringing,

I say — I know how you feel, God, I know how you feel.

If we knew our way out, we'd never be stuck here at all -

These are the best years of our lives…

LISTEN TO THE QUIET ONE

It's coming back now,

Back to the center,

Rest in twilight.

Talking in a different language,
