The wind is whipping with the rain
The boat is tipping on the waves
And love is sleeping unafraid

So dance upon the sea
On the waves of Galilee
Look around, what do you see now?

For love is rising up, be still
It's not surprising if you only will

Dance upon the sea
Love says, "take my hand and walk with me"
Yes dance on the waves
And watch the storm clouds roll away

The time is coming, now it's right here
Let go your troubles and all your fear

And dance upon the sea
On the waves of Galilee
Yes dance joyfully, again
Oh dance upon the sea
Take the hand that sets you free
Now dance on the waves
And watch all the storm clouds roll away

Love Is Sleeping

Sing, oh sing to me
Sad melodies
Sing them soft and low

Bring some eloquence
Some words of innocence
And sing them adagio

Now lay me down
Way down in your soul

Sing the mystery
The quiet history
The rhythm of the whole

Play that dulcet tune
Bring me back to you
Slowly, adagio

Oh come on now
And lay me down in your soul
Down, down
Where your rivers flow

Dream, oh dream for me
Be my reverie
Surround me with your glow

Yes sing, sing to me
Blue, blue melodies
Sing them adagio

And take me down
Way down where you go
Down, down
Where your breezes blow
Now lay me down
Way down in your soul

In The Kasbah

Susan says she's seen the signs
And she knows what's coming
Says it's in the rhythm of the times
And we should be running
'Cause when you see a falling star
It's telling you something

For too long now
It's been lurking in the shadows
But look out now
Here it comes

Is she a prophet or a seer?
Does she read the tea leaves?
When she says it's drawing near
I want to see what she sees

For so long now
I've felt a shiver in the shadows
I can't say how
I'm wading in the shallows
But still she calls out
Here it comes

She reads the writing on the wall
I see graffiti
Something wicked this way crawls
Eludes me completely

Been too long now
Sleeping in the shadows
She sings to me now
Is she dancing on the gallows?
Hold on somehow
When it comes

Here It Comes

Updated mix of a recent track:

The deeper we go, the stranger we find
And the more that we know, it beggars the mind
Contradictions, the riddles of time
Is it science fiction, reason or rhyme?

Strange, passing strange

Logic tripping in the astral realm
And the quantum shifting, now who's at the helm?

Strange, passing strange
It's so strange

Yes the deeper we go, the stranger we find
Something explodes in the back of the mind

Strange, passing strange
Oh so strange
Yes strange, very strange
Passing strange

The Stranger We Find (update)

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.
