Could this be the stream I have entered in, Or am I dreaming again? And what would that mean, that the war is won, or has it just begun? We’re leaving tonight, not a moment too soon We’re leaving behind the things we once knew If this is goodbye, may I stay true And hope that I find my way But there’s no rush to make it Right on time to our new destination Gotta get up, gotta make the bet Got to get around, got to get down off the mountain This is the life I lead, this is the blood I bleed This is a story, but it’s true Come take a ride with me, Drink from a mountain stream Enjoy the view And when I’m right between the two The peaks and valleys, how many we’ve been through Strobing in and out, vibrations all around I wake up and there’s nothing left to be found Long days, always, forever Through the darkest night we will weather The fire burns, the wheels turn Can’t have the sunshine without the rain Music in motion, take me away In the darkness, there’s a light Music in motion, all through the night

Once upon a time, never crossed my mind That everything would change Under lockdown, tangerine clown Never thought it would last, but he stuck around Welcome to the world to follow Traces of the past entwined Helter skelter in reverse Emperor without a shirt Joker’s laugh while devils cry Fallen angels learn to fly Are we right side up? Are we upside down? Will we learn to sing, hear every note that rings Without a sound Welcome to the world to follow Traces of the past entwined Know that it might be a world to call you its own

Tragicomedy 03:17
You design what you witness One sees black, the other gold But you’re blindly religious Stick to the only side you know So if you ask me, I see what I see Maybe it’s just part of the whole Though it may not seem Like we’re in the same stream, We’re caught in the same undertow We might not have planned on it But it’s all we have, it’s what we get So why hold on to what might have been When we all play a part in this tragicomedy Boundaries start to bend, We all depend on another in the end Give up, start again, when doubts creep in There wisdom can begin To wash away the lines in the sand Like a summer rain And I can’t understand, but somehow I know When the plot unfolds, that we’ll be alright When the curtains fall We might not have planned on it But it’s all we have, it’s what we get So why hold on to what might have been When we all play a part in this tragicomedy

Turn another page, write another tune We spend all our days searching for a clue We don’t hold the cards, future is unclear I don’t know where we’ll be this time next year But today why don’t we forget I need to get away for a moment I want to talk with you, Go around the block with you Go outside, clear my mind from this endless review Far away from crowded streets Sunrise on a secret beach Anywhere you want to go Lead me there and I’ll follow And when it seems like our dreams are slipping away Falling like the leaves on an autumn’s day Every year, the colors change But our love will remain Let’s get lost in the crowd Like strangers in a strange town We play our own tune You write the words, I’ll wait for the cue I know that we’ve been walking on the edge of the world But I hope you can see what matters to me is just one girl Pieces fall down as they may But our love will remain If it’s our fate, what can we do? Pick out a star, hope a wish comes true Medieval streets, lit by the moon That’s shining down on me and you

Joke's On Me 03:08
Coming in from the edge of town I was stuck in my head, spinning round and round Sky’s getting dark, there were rain clouds On the mountain pass, but I wouldn’t slow down You said we shouldn’t drive, I wouldn’t change my mind, And now there’s hail on the window Down south, power’s out I’m listening, did I hear you say Hold tight, it’s dangerous, Buckle up, there’s ice on the highway Tried to stay in my lane But we’re slipping in the rain Onto the wrong side of the road Joke’s on me now Been stuck in this haze So many long days Is it my fate, or is it a phase? I got off track, took it too far Hope that we make it next time I pray that we survive I used to have nine lives Eight down, there’s only one to go Joke’s on me now Like it’s always been

That joins beloved with love In the night, you guided me More surely than the light of the day Stare into the fire, Of love’s anxiety Burning ever brighter And you’re there waiting for me Oh night that guides! Oh night, more lovely than the dawn That joins beloved with love In the night, you guided me More surely than the light of the day

Flow 02:29
Connection to the flow Turn your heart to a precious stone Let it wash like a wave of experience

Once 04:45
Can’t believe the fool I have been Fell into the deep before I learned how to swim Oooh so Patiently, you pulled me back in I lost myself but you threw me a line, once again Ooh, we’ve wandered near and far Now we’re back to the start, it’s time to open the door On and on, we’ve played the part But for once in my life, it’s straight from the heart Dissatisfaction, a chain reaction My doctor tells me I ask good questions No more waiting, no escaping You can hear my heart, it’s breaking I’ve been living life on the run, But no more can I hide for myself What is yours, no one else’s to find The two of us done nothing wrong We melted two down into one Spring, summer, winter, fall The seasons change, we’ve been through them all Wind, water, fire, snow Watch the sky fall down on the earth below Any way you measure, nothing lasts forever We may never see the morning come Three hundred sixty degrees Miles to go, wherever they lead Tomorrow’s memories, are yesterday’s dreams Ooh, we’ve wandered near and far But for once in my life, I know where 2 start On and on, we’ve played the part But for once in my life, it’s straight from the heart Ooh, we’ve wandered near and far To get back to where we started, which is right where we are (On and on) The two of us done nothing wrong We melted two down into one Spring, summer, winter, fall The seasons change, we’ve been through them all

Is it conspicuous? Was I distinct enough? Well, let me call my own bluff How could I know the reason, I don’t know the result (Drifting by, floating on the water, sinking into wonder) I’m wondering What could it be, that’s leading me along? Beyond where I can see, chasing my own shadow When I’m already where I want to go There’s something more, I keep searching for But my feet are already on the floor Maybe it’s better I get up Maybe it’s better I move on Maybe uncertainty is all I can depend on (Drifting by, floating on the water, sinking into wonder) I’m wondering - Days grow longer, shadows growing taller And I forget myself, when I wander I thought I saw you, saw you there waiting Bitterness delayed me, but now I’m here with you
