Tide's In
Tide's in,
In again
Tide's in,
In again
Watch for that backbeat
As she slips behind you
Tide's in,
In again
Tide's in,
In again
Down by the shoreline
That's where luck will find you
Cockle shells and mussel shells
She kept them in a row
Tide's in,
In again
Tide's in,
In again
Magellan
Sometimes I stand
Sometimes I fall
But through each trial
I manage to recall
Sometimes I'm weak
Sometimes I'm strong
At every turn
There's something that carries me along
Magellan sailed across the waves
Marco Polo caravaned for days
They knew each journey has its start
Deep within the longings of the heart
Water Is Wide
-Traditional
The Water is Wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
Roll me along, Roll me along
Roll me along, Roll me along
Oh love is handsome and love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it's new
Then as love grows old, it bonds our souls
Like morning mist with summer dew
The Water is Wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
Roll me along, Roll me along
Both shall row, my love and I
Roll me along, Roll me along
Both shall row, my love and I
Ask Me To
Please don't ask me now
I can't imagine how
It will be
Between you and me
As the night rolls in
Keep a candle by your side
Hush the darkness
Watch for me as the planets rise
I will come to you
Underneath the stars
They'll sing for you
Ask Me To
Ask me, ask me to come
Ask me, ask me to come to you
Tiny bards of light
With whispers very bright
In wand'ring paths
Of perfect harmonies
As the night rolls in
They're the candles by your side
Hush the darkness
Listen now as the planets rise
They will sing for you
Underneath the stars
I'll come to you
Ask Me To
Ask me, ask me to come
Ask me, ask me to come to you
Somewhere
Somewhere
Opens
A riddle
Its folds
Soft spurs
Of fresh light
Tremble, they tremble and roll
Silk apple blossoms conspire as two
Riding whispers as monarchs do
Somewhere, somewhere a dream comes through
Somewhere
Enigma
Loosens
Its hold
Green eyes
Of insight
They glisten
Untold
Silk apple blossoms conspire as two
Riding whispers as monarchs do
Somewhere, somewhere a dream comes through
Broad wings
Boasting
Coasting
On winds defied
Mindful
Of a handful
Of gemlike
Things implied
Silk apple blossoms conspire as two
Wake me gently so my dreams come through
Somewhere, somewhere I'll show you too
I'll show you too
Kick It
Grab your hat, Kick it back!
Moonlight Holds The Key
This sunrise
Like Ravel it sounds to me
Brilliant reds blazing through
We'll get down
Don't know when to telephone me
Take my line, hold the blues
Monet bought
All the flowers at the corner flower shop
Candy there, ice cream too
Vincent brought
All his yellow paints along
Showed me just what to do
Oh, Moonlight Holds the Key
Debussy told me
In Love
Summer rides
Like the bells between your toes
Thunder shower passing through
I realize
All the fun we had when we were two
Deep rich tones, vibrant hues
Oh, Moonlight Holds the Key
Debussy told me
In Love
Southpaw lines
Floating from this old guitar
Every time something new
Don't ask me why
These designs are what they are
Colors fly, love to choose
This Moonlight
Holds the key to love you see
Debussy told me so
This moonlight
Holds the key to love you see
Debussy oughta know
Debussy oughta know
