Twice In A Lifetime

Next Time

There's a song I like to sing when I've been too long on the road.
Every time I sing it, I start thinking what I'm gonna do when I get there.
I might hunker down and read a book, or maybe take a nap.
Maybe rearrange my closet, I might just sit by the fire, when I get there.
But the one thing I won't do is think about the times we had,
'Cause every time I think about 'em I'll start crying.

So I won't be thinking 'bout the way your eyes glowed in the sun,
Or the way your hair laid softly on your shoulder when I get there.
And I won't be thinking 'bout the way your smile could light the room.
With so many things to think about, I'll be thinking 'bout them when I get there.

So when you close your eyes tonight you can sleep just fine,
Knowing I'm not thinking 'bout you.

And if by chance you cross my mind, it won't linger long,
I've got more important things to think about when I get there.

When I Get There

Lyrics:
Weather’s been dreary, body is weary,
Now the heavy days are draggin’ on,
Feeling alone ‘cause your lover has gone off without you.
Wonderin’ will you feel an end to the chill and,
Now the doctor thinks that somethin’s wrong,
Lookin’ ahead makes you linger in bed with a dark view.

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper,
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Here are tickets to the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
We’ll be fine, ‘cause friends are for all time.

You know you feel off, you think you’re gettin’ a cough,
And your mood is sinkin’ lower by the day.
You’re bein’ dramatic, it’s psychosomatic, I’m quite sure.
The evening news is addin’ to your blues,			
‘Cause it tells you that the gloom is gonna stay,
Startin’ to cry and you’re wonderin’ why you see no cure.

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper,
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Tickets to, the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
Life is fine, ‘cause friends are for all time.

Oooh, oooh, now the sun is fillin’ up our days,
Oooh, oooh, driftin’ together in a multi-coloured haze.  Woh-ho-hoooo  
             
Instrumental with ba-ba-ba’s…

Oooh, oooh, now the sun is filling' up our days,
Oooh, oooh, floatin’ together in a multi-coloured haze.  Oh-ho-hoooo  

Just gimme a call before your pillow gets damper,
Abandon it all like a happy camper, 
Share our song, you know we’ll never go wrong.
Tickets to, the sunniest weather,
Pour a drink and we’ll wing it together,
Love is fine, but friends are for all time.
Love is fine, but friends are for all time.

Words:

Fire serpents and dragons are stirring 
Deep down in the hard, cold iron of Earth. 

Slithering land wights are waking, 
And wriggling and stretching, 
Woken from their sleep by the return 
Of the song of the Sun, 
Its melody singing all dreamers awake,
To light the cauldrons and fasts to break. 

Lady Slipper yawns and opens her petals 
To a bold west wind ruffling her labellum.
Thunderclouds above ominously threaten. 

An ash in full livery, its leaves right on time,  
Stands next to the winter-nude of an oak. 
So the old wives mutter in iambic rhyme,
“Ash before oak, we’re in for a soak.” 

Great Spotted Woodpecker drills Mars’s drum 
In a military tattoo, to marshall the bugs,
The soldier beetles and bark-gnawing weevils, 

Now Luna turns russet red in Earth’s umbra, 
A covenant of balmier days without number. 

Wyrm moon, Cold moon, Sap Moon
Pulling on the tides, rising 
And not just in the flooded rhynes, but 
Coursing up the loins of men too, 
Their reveries of love fine-tuned 
To Jack in the Green’s reciting 
To the tremolo thrill of Pan’s piping

Labyrinth Spider stands guard on the dell, 
While Salamanders ring the bluebells 
To peal out harsh winter’s fare-thee-well. 

Pixie-cup lichen arrives in the Vale, 
And elves riding turkeys with blue ruffled tails
Then ... Amanita Muscaria sings her aria, 
And Cuckoo tells us Spring is finally here.

Ostara

Je t’aime déjà en souvenir

Je sais que rien ne dure toujours
Et que tu partiras un jour
Sur les ailes d’un courant d’air
Et comm' je ne peux rien y faire
Je t’aime déjà en souvenir

J’ai vu trop de passés pareils
À d’infinies fins de soleils
Pour qui j’aurais donné tout l’or
Du monde, mais en vain, alors,
Je t’aime déjà en souvenir

Refrain :
Tu vas partir, ma fille, tu vas partir
Pour te construire un avenir
Mais dans tes beaux jours à cueillir
Garde-moi dans ton souvenir

Bien sûr, pour l’instant c’est l’école
Et, de bonnes grâces, tu t’y colles
Mais dans tes beaux yeux qui pétillent
Je vois s’allumer des brindilles
Tu m’aimes déjà en souvenir

Si nos chemins en parallèles
Avancent sur la même échelle
Mes barreaux sont plus fatigants
Et plus proches du firmament
Chacun gravit ses souvenirs

Lorsque je tutoierai le ciel
Tu auras déployé tes ailes
J’en sourirai, mais pour l’instant
Dans le silence des yeux j’entends
Qu’on s’aime déjà en souvenir.

Refrain :
Je vais partir, ma fille, je vais partir
Et te laisser à l’avenir
Mais dans tes beaux jours à cueillir
Garde-moi dans ton souvenir.

I already love you in memory

I know that nothing lasts forever
And one day you'll be gone
On the wings of a breeze
And there's nothing I can do about it
I already love you in memory

I've seen too many similar pasts
To endless ends of suns
For whom I would have given all the gold
Of the earth but all in vain,
I already love you in memory

Refrain :
You're going to leave, my daughter, you're going to leave
To build a future for yourself
But in your beautiful days to gather
Keep me in your memory

Of course, right now it's school
And, with good grace, you stick to it
But in your beautiful sparkling eyes
I see twigs light up
You already love me in memory

If our parallel paths
On the same ladder
My rungs are more tiring
And closer to the firmament
Each one climbs his memories

When I reach the sky
You'll have spread your wings
I'll smile, but for now
In the silence of the eyes I hear
That we already love each other in memory.

Refrain :
I'm going to leave, my daughter, I'm going to leave
And leave you to the future
But in your beautiful days
Keep me in your memory.

Lyrics by Brin:

Tasting the blade of all his mistakes
And I know I should not go
I am following in the path of his sin
And I know I should not follow

Bitter berries on the vine
Bring me back there every time.
Turning words into a road.

Blade is cutting my tongue
Leaving bitter hurt for everyone.
I don’t want this life anymore.
Blade is cutting my tongue
Leaving bitter hurt for everyone.
I don’t want this life anymore.

Learning how to harbor hate
I don’t know what else to say
All my words into arrows.
Blade is cutting my tongue
Leaving bitter hurt for everyone.
I don’t want this life anymore.

Bitter Berries

Sanctuary

Left here brokenhearted
Beneath the falling rain
Can someone save me?

Across the great divide
The chasm opens wide
All seems lost

Thrown against the wall
Who will break my fall
I’m on my knees

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Now I stand alone
Holding up my hands
The sky is falling

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Your kingdom’s not
Of this world

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Through grace death
holds no mastery

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal
Home

Sanctuary (TOTHM and Cosmic Keanu)
