Where has it gone
The heat of the sun
The time that we had

Where did they go
The long summer days
Feet in the sand

The races to run
Not to be won
The water gun wars

I heard all the tales
But not told as well
As when they were yours

The secrets of life
Encoded on discs
Spinning their dreams
The laughter and tears
Of so many years
In the glow of a screen

Our fears and our hopes
Strung out like ropes
Over chasms unseen

But there's no regrets
When you know you're blessed
When you believe

The heroes and foes
And stories of old
You knew every line

I was once whole
Body and soul
And will be in time

The secrets of life
Encoded on discs
Spinning their dreams
The laughter and tears
Of so many years
In the glow of a screen

We never leave
Just take to the sea
For distant white sands
Wait for me there
I'll never forget
I'll come when I can

White Sands

Do it Different

I saw the sun rise
Born out of blood
Then came the rainclouds
Bearing their flood

Nothing is given or taken away
The sun I awoke to is here for a day

Now here come the ocean
Here comes a wave
To bury the mountains
In a saltwater grave

So sing me a love song
Sing me to bed
Before the water
Is over my head

Over my head
Over my head
Sing me to sleep now
On the cold ocean bed

The moon is a mystery
Her secrets she keeps
Buried like treasure
On the floor of the sea

Sing me a moon song
Call on the tides
To wash over me now
All through the night

All through the night
Call to the tides
To wash over me now
All through the night

The current will rock me
All through the night

Moon Song

Though you walk in the shadow
There is nothing to fear
Oh my love you will pass through the valley of tears

And the mark is upon you
From the day you were born
You don't choose your name but you make it your own

You woke on a path you never have seen
Alone in the night, lost in a dream
Dark is the valley, a moon without glow
Trust your direction, you'll find your way home

In this room full of smoke and full of heat
Like the world is on fire
Yeah the building is burning and no one survives
No one gets out alive

The air, it is half gone
We will not last long
Fill up your glass and we'll drink to the flames

If we will burn let us burn bright
I'll give you my heat cause you are my light
From ash we emerge, and ash we will be
We'll fall to the earth and wash to the sea

The Valley

Like a bird with frost coated feathers
On your winter wing, far from your home
Will you stay ahead of the weather
Will you fly away and leave me alone

Ink made of spit and ash, tapped in with bone
Draw me a treasure map to find me a home
Where I'm never alone

Do I sleep when you need my comfort
Am I far away when you need me near
Is it cold and lonely beside me
Have I kept you safe or left you in fear

Whittled in old growth wood, a heart on a spear
Carved into granite cliff then erased by the years

What you got ain't always what you want
You can never be what you're not, but it is what it is
Things you need, sometimes they make you bleed
They say nothing good comes free
