all that beauty there walking in the world on that Venice beach you were walking with that girl you were so sweet when you passed by i said hello and smiled i can't remember what you said but it was something cruel i was used to that so i followed you into the shining sea we were alone as we swam the channel my heart beat like a hammer we reached the other shore that night all the stars were out glowing in the sky so i followed you into the summer night you were so sweet when you took my hand we maid love on the warm sand i never can forget that night all the stars were out glowing in the sky so i followed you into the summer night you were so sweet when you took my hand we maid love on the warm sand i never can forget that night

she goes on rolling down the river she takes you to your new home and you go with her on the muddy river she teaches you a new song

So 03:25
green light traffic on the street.. the boy with brown eyes smiles when he sees blue birds flying in the sky angle wings open when he hears the choir golden lights, flicker in the night may the saints bring a smile to the boy with brown eyes golden lights flicker flicker in the night may the saints bring a smile to the boy with brown eyes

it's late at night and my day is through but i cant ..let it go without letting you know that i feel possessed by a strange calm despite the world spinning so fast that you think it might spin out of control like the center of a storm but just for a moment i think you should know that you are at the center of the world in your breast is a heart that beats and music and love and understanding flows from a heart at the center of a storm but you may feel possessed by a strange calm despite the world spinning so fast that you think it might spin out of control

i walk along the beach kicking up pebbles a gull above the trees a flash of white time stands still in the sky the winter sun a lamp above the sea shines in the blue white waves along the shore voice of the ocean the sound of waves that fall on sandy beach a light snow starts to fall a chill, a breeze i look out on the white and silver sea alone, i walked this path a lonely child took comfort in this vast and empty world a sky that never ends a tiny bird i fly above the world on wings of song

wind and willow, fish and birds Thomas listens to the words of the songs that children sing in the church of love and wings Colin brings another dream wind and fire, tears and bones and he listens to the song of the tiger, oak and sward wind and willow, wind and fire here the tiger and the choir through the music and the silence may God's goodness always guide you over the rocks birds rise and fall in New England Tommy walks to the blue Atlantic shore hear the sea on Europe's coast wind and willow, wind and fire here the tiger and the choir through the music and the silence may God's goodness always guide you

i fell asleep and all of the words .. fell out of the the world. let freedom bring the burning sky. love in the night. a drowning child. .... a peaceful light the lost letter a day together husbands and wives two brothers cry a kiss in the night .. i fell asleep may my sons keep starlight and dreams a rushing river a bridge to somewhere the music we make the love we remember ..... and when we awake to a broken day the music we make is taken away .... but i fell asleep and all of the words .. fell out of the the world. let freedom bring the burning sky. love in the night. a drowning child.

some people work and some people play. that's what i heard anyway. but on this Earth of joy and pain everyone rides on a real train....

the sun rises in the sky over the land a white cloud drifts by a little boy rides a yellow bike an old man sits on the porch and i'll sing another song waiting for you to come along in the city i'll sit pretty till i find you the one that rises in my mind could be the boy that i might find strolling on the shore or driving to the store a pebble on the beach a diamond in the street and i'll sit here and write another song waiting for you to come along when you come through the door and i find you and i'll sit here and write another song waiting for you to come along when you come through the door and i find you when you come through the door and i find you
