You saw me touch the hand of the mermaid,
A chance encounter on the beach,
You felt inclined to get to know me,
I took a picture for you to keep.

That night we wined and dined by the ocean,
Driving back to the city listening to the 90's
26 floors high on life, we were dancing
I took a picture for you to keep.

Moonlight glistening, on the ocean blue,
I was soul-searching, cherry blossom tattoo,
We left footprints, on the cold wet sand,
A connection only you and I can understand.

I fell in love with a Milano boy,
You're all I think of, I have no choice,
I yearn, to see your face again,
And return, to that place again.

Little boat house, phantom of the piano,
Old photographs and chocolate dreams,
On the balcony, you stood beside me,
Sister took a picture for me to keep.

In your eyes I saw that you could love me,
Pure intentions, sweet like tangerines,
You held me close as the sun rose, but I had to leave,
In your mind a picture for you keep.

Love is worth waiting for, if it is true,
I am still searching for, cherry blossom tattoo,
I hope one day, this songs finds you,
And I will pray, that you'll find me too.

I fell in love with a Milano boy,
You're all I think of, I have no choice,
I yearn, to see your face again,
And return, to that place again.

I want to live in a house on a cliff,
Over-looking the sea,
I want to give you all that I have to give,
Because you complete me.

Oh I need you tonight,
I want you tonight,
This burning desire,
That I feel inside,

To see you tonight,
Be with you tonight,
This yearning for you,
Is so true.

I want to wake in the morning to your face,
Smiling at me,
I want to make love to you everyday love,
You're all that I need.

Oh I need you tonight,
I want you tonight,
This burning desire,
That I feel inside,

To see you tonight,
Be with you tonight,
This yearning for you,
Is so true.

I want to breathe you in,
And feel you from within,
Hear you whispering - my name
Again and again,
I want to breathe you in,
And feel you from within,
Hear you whispering - my name
Again and again,

I want to live in a house on a cliff,
Over-looking the sea.

House on a Cliff

This song is dedicated to my great-grandma "Tai-Lao-Lao". Some of my fondest memories from early childhood are of seeing lanterns get released into the sky for the annual Moon Festival. I remember my Tai-Lao-Lao holding me as I watched the sky light up...

A romantic festival of hopes and dreams...of peace and love. The legend of Chang Er - who flew to the moon lives on...

Music is my language,
Dancing is my stride,
Painting without reason,
I'm here just for the ride,
Falling drops of flames,
Burning through the sky,
Streaks of devastation,
Thats where beauty lays,
If there is a reason,
I don't want to know,
Like the change of seasons,
Theres forces that will show,
The end is a beginning,
Nothing stays the same,
This world in which we live in,
Will never cease to change.

Everybody laughs,
Everybody cries,
So honor your emotions,
They remind us we're alive
Silent expectations,
Scream of wrong and right,
Trials and tribulations,
Are lessons in disguise.

A storm is now approaching
And I will dance in the rain,
Destiny keeps calling,
But I'll always be a stray.
