beautiful world you and i, in this beautiful world under tiny fires burning in the sky you and i, in this beautiful world where i’m feeling so big and so small at the same time and you told me how you loved me like the rocks they love the waves and your words sweep me away beyond the dusk and you took me to your banyan tree on the day that I first came and I lost myself somewhere between love and lust you and i, in this beautiful world where your love’s too big for just one girl to hold you and i you and i you and i in this beautiful world where in one long moment i’m feeling so young, and so old and you told me how you loved me with the words you couldn’t say and I smiled and with my eyes I said the same and you drew from me emotion that was caught within the seams and I have to choose myself or you it seems and you told me when I let go that you could see translucent wings invisible to all the eyes but yours and you laughed so, when you smiled at me as I was dancing on the beach we felt so close and now we’re out of reach you and i, in this beautiful world where I finally see how to read behind your eyes you and i you and i you and i in this beautiful world where we’re holding hands and drinking chai neath those tiny fires in the sky…..

Sinbad Says 05:43
sinbad says on a sultan’s roof the wind she plays across the seas a prayers wail and Oshan dreams all his troubles away neath October skies sweet Sophia lay a thousand eyes each their own they pray and the world outside what’s on the news today on the cobbled stones of Istanbul Sinbad says, it’s written full world peace is inevitable on the cobbled stones of Istanbul Sinbad says, it’s written full world peace is inevitable under Turkish sun how Marco draws charcoal lines, what beauty saw and Julian plays, black and white so quiet and Ebert paints in strokes of tea washes bronze the world he seas and we all bow to this precious now on the cobbled stones of Istanbul Sinbad says, it’s written full world peace is inevitable peace is inevitable…..

Halfway 03:59
halfway sing low sweet honey bee row row row your wooden boat to me sail on, oh gently cross the seas oh love of mine...chase my melody humming birds they shall lead your way glide the wind, oh through another day bicycles fly on our red hibiscus way ride on, my love...to these strings i play... winter turns a frozen river dream skate on pearls, oh so melancholy can you hear one distant heart beat hear the sounds of my love ring the bells upon my feet .....fly the sky like our wings say we could climb the tide like our jim... like our jim he said we would night falls now, and the day she fades away disappear like watercolours in the rain rock a bye my baby upon my moonshine train oh tonight my love, i'll meet you half way yes tonight my love...i'll meet you half way sweet kipi love...i'll meet you half way.....

Feathers and String (free) 04:21
feathers and string standing in your kitchen tears running down my sides holding tight my little green bag you pull me back inside and hold me as I cry you let me paint your walls that night in fuchsia, red and green i painted the morning in transparent light you had a beard and pony eyes i held my head upon my knee you trace my face like i’m a queen all my walls come tumbling down all my walls come tumbling down my armour of feathers and string me and my feathers and string you sing of crystal ships and now the storm is almost gone holding tight my little red heart we travel south you kiss my mouth a million words that I can’t say i sing for you to hear i ask the past to fall away the world to disappear just for one day maybe for a year maybe for a year all my walls come tumbling down all my walls come tumbling down my armour of feathers and string me and my feathers and string i am all feathers and string me and my feathers and string you told me that your answer it wasn’t the right one my tears like rain are dancing cause maybe there’s no room in your heart for me like I wish that there could be all my walls come tumbling down all my walls come tumbling down my armour of feathers and string me and my feathers and string milk and honey won’t you bring to me and my feathers and my string milk and honey won’t you bring to me and my feathers and my string me and my feathers and string i am all feathers and string me and my feathers and string….

the bravest song the line that divides the truth from the lie is sometimes so pale when you stand on the side and some things it seems are bigger than we like the force of a love that showed me to see the light that you shone from a heart you saw dammed allowed me to show you the woman i am the woman i am sweet bravery of surrender i don’t know if we’re beginning, or we’re ending are we beginning, or we’re ending is this beginning are we ending… we planted a seed we’re letting it go to stand on that sideline and see how she grows so now here i stand my face toward the sun so you cannot see how i’m coming undone i’m coming undone sweet bravery of surrender i don’t know if we’re beginning, or we’re ending are we beginning, or we’re ending is this beginning are we ending you said, you want to be the man to protect not the man to replace all the armour i've shed but i’m not made of steel and i’m not made of glass and somewhere between lies this question I ask is it me who you love? is it you who’s my man? could you be, would you be could you be, would you be? sweet bravery of surrender i don’t know if we’re beginning, or we’re ending are we beginning, or we’re ending is this beginning are we ending… is this the start is this the end how do we part where are you my friend is this the start is this the end across the seas do you think of me is this the start is this the end where do you stand are you my man is this the start is this the end where is your heart to you this song i send…

eternal springtime i walked into your house tonight you walked behind me and you asked me should I turn on the light i said no, let’s leave it dark for a while you held me with your coffee coloured eyes i held your gaze but I had no place to hide you told me it’s about letting go but its letting go I don’t know it’s like the rising sun of this eternal springtime rising sun of this, our eternal springtime you held me in a place I couldn’t move sharpened all my senses, told me exactly what to do and so i breathed so deep into the ground and tried to quieten the heart of my sound my body it is beating like a drum the air it feels unsteady, I can hear a distant hum and this energy is moving like a train i saw us in the mirror we blew me away and when we said goodbye my fingers touched your face and when we said goodbye all seasons four embraced and when we said goodbye we blew me away…
