You are my ocean

Waiting for the moment
That’s sometimes hard to find
moving in slow motion
weighing heavy on my mind

I am out of practice
I’m even out of time
I  feel like a prisoner
doing time

you and I went swimming
in the deep blue sea at night
The nights’ stars lit the ocean
They know who we are

I am like a runner
running out of time
I am like a sculptor
running out of lime

Let’s start at the beginning
let’s not contemplate the end
And forget what was in the meantime
maybe we  can still be friends

Looking at the moment
What would we sacrifice
You are my ocean
you’re my star filled sky

I waited at the station
to find you were somebody new  
that time and space had changed us
you weren’t how I remembered you

and I must let you wander
this earth on your own
that friends don’t stay forever
sometimes they're just gone

You Are My Ocean

Ave Maria by Paolo Tosti +
Nadia Selvaggi, voice & piano
Remixed 2023

Paolo Tosti (1846-1916) was an enormously popular songwriter in three languages. Born in Ortona, Italy, he toiled in obscurity until he moved to Rome and secured the patronage of composer Giovanni Sgambati. His performances quickly impressed the future queen of Italy, and his trip to England became a huge success that made him the singing teacher to that country’s royal family. He was knighted by the British crown in 1906. https://genius.com/artists/Francesco-paolo-tosti

Ave Maria (Paolo Tosti)
Per le fulgenti cupole dorate
la melodia dell'organo suonova;
lento moriva il dì sulle vetrate;
una nube d'inceso al ciel volava,
e dolcemente da ogni labbro uscia:
Ave Maria.
 
Nella blanda mestizia di quell'ora
tutta serenità di paradiso,
il cavaliere che sospiro ognora
m'apparve, e a lungo ci guardammo in viso:
fu vana allora la preghiera mia,
Ave Maria.
 
Dall'azzurro del ciel stendi la mano
a me infelice dal dolore affranta;
deh! ch'io non pianga e non t'invochi invano,
arridi all'amor mio, Vergine santa:
abbi pietà di me, Vergine pia.
Ave Maria.

Enchanted Sky

Track mixed and mastered by Woods Studio

Cornered by your loving hand
I cannot use the exit I had planned
I have tried, but every path is blocked
Where’s the key and why are all the doors locked?

I stay up and sleep in a chair
When I wake, someone’s waiting there
In the past I’d find myself alone
Wash my face and walk out in the sun
No debt to anyone
My life - my own

Cornered
I’m cornered

Once I could chose to take a call
And never knew where my next steps would fall
At the time, I called that being free
Now I think I have always known
I couldn’t stay alone
I’d finally have to be

Cornered
I’m cornered

Senso

Cornered

Waiting (Original Mix, featuring Karra)

MIX-MASTER - WOODS STUDIO
BACKUP VOCALS - FOG CITY FOGEY


At a time and a place
So ill defined
I get lost inside my own foggy mind

Dusky doubt, cloudy thoughts
A blanket of gray
The sun is exhausted
It goes home for the day/gives up for today
But then there’s that bright smile….

Who better, who better
Than you to come clear the air
Who better, who better
Than the one close at hand and yet beyond compare

Former friends, an ex or two
Might gather someday
I’ll make myself scarce
They’ll have plenty to say

On a bridge, down below
The water flows
It takes the past with it
I don’t care where it goes
From here I’ll need a guide 

Who better? Who better?
Any destination will do
Who better, who better
I only ask that I end up there with you
(All I ask is I end up there with you)

Be here with me
Through the days to come
I know you’ll be
My better half and then some

Empty suits 
Airless room
I’m bored with the board
My mind drifts away
And I may well have snored
Could a hero broke me free

Who better? Who better?
With or without a cape
Who better? Who better?
To plan and lead our escape

Any destination will do
if I’m with you

Who Better

LYRIC

Far along the beaten path
No end in sight 
What supplies we have are poor and running low
We’ve so far to go

Some split off
We’ve seen their camps
Maps they study by weakening lamps
The light will die out and then
They’ll join us again

We march on
It’s our purpose
 We march on
We endure thus we survive
And that’s our true goal
Stay alive

In the distance mountains loom
The darkening skies mean winter soon
We’ll find an old tree down
Build a fire to gather round
But not a shelter
We’ve lost that skill
Our arms are weak
As is our will
Besides we don’t have time
There are mountains we must climb

We march on
Tired but trudging
We march on
No use judging
Why we do
It’s just another day
to get through

Elders tell of a homeland
Their own elders told them of and
Maybe it’s all true
Who knows what they knew
But maybe it’s all true

The trail is lost
We’re on our own 
Our courage sapped
Our fear has grown
We can’t give into dread
Salvation lies ahead

So we march on….

LYRIC

Sir
I called you sir
It was a different time
And that's just how things were

Role
You played your role
And it was quite a fine performance
I was so naive
It’s hard now to believe
I never saw through you, ‘sir’

Gone 
That world is gone
For both the worse and better, maybe
It's moved on

Sir
Did you ever let your guard down
And let the truth slip through
Was there a real ‘you’
Or were just a man I knew as ‘sir’

Now
The world of now
I wonder if it would astound you
Frighten and confound you
But could it be inside
You would feel some pride
At how it could be
If you lived to see 
A world somewhat free for you, sir

I Am The Word (Brian Peters)

There’s always something
At the back of your mind
Like a lost memory
You can’t create it
You can’t leave it behind
It’s where it’s supposed to be
-
I am the Word
Down the corridors beyond sleep
I am the Word
In the waters where the deep calls unto deep
-
There’s always something
At the tip of your tongue
That you can’t understand
When you try too hard
Then you get it all wrong
But it’s there in your hand

There’s always something
At your fingertips
That you can’t even feel
But it’s turning through
The waters like a ship
On a giant wheel
