LYRICS
81
I found a little plot of land,
in the garden of Eden.
It was dirt, and dirt is all the same.
I tilled it with my two hands,
and I called it my very own;
there was no-one to dispute my claim.
Well, you'd be shocked
at the state of things —
the whole place
had just cleared right out.
It was hotter than hell,
so I laid me by a spring, for a spell,
as naked as a trout.
The wandering eye that I have caught
is as hot as a wandering sun.
But I will want for nothing more,
in my garden:
start again,
in my hardening to every heart but one.
Meet me in the garden of Eden.
Bring a friend.
We are gonna have ourselves a time.
We are gonna have a garden party.
It's on me!
No, sirree, it's my dime.
We broke our hearts,
in the war between
St. George and the dragon,
but both, in equal part,
are welcome to come along.
I'm inviting everyone.
Farewell to loves that I have known,
Even muddiest waters run.
Tell me, what is meant by sin, or none,
in a garden
seceded from the union
in the year of A.D. 1?
The unending amends you've made
are enough for one life.
Be done.
I believe in innocence, little darling.
Start again.
I believe in everyone.
I believe, regardless.
I believe in everyone.
Sun Giant
What a life I lead in the summer
What a life I lead in the spring
What a life I lead when the wind, it breathes
What a life I lead in the spring
What a life I lead when the sun breaks free
As a giant torn from the clouds
What a life indeed when that ancient seed
Is a-buried, watered and plowed
What a life
What a life
What a life
What a life
What a life I lead in the summer
What a life I lead in the spring
What a life I lead when the wind, it breathes
What a life I lead in the spring
More Than Life
Belief in the breeze,
The smoky morning haze.
The sun on her face,
and the touch of lovers' hands.
The pain that comes today,
Is here, then goes away.
And we are homeward bound,
And I,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life.
To touch something real,
Will help your wounds heal,
Like the sun on your face,
The dreams of starry nights.
And we are homeward bound,
And I,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life,
I want this more than life...
I want this more than life
New Soul
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake.
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
This is a happy end
Cause' you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take your far away.
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la....
Momma Momma
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong
'cause I pick up my head, can't tell where I belong.
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad,
Momma Momma, something's hurting me bad,
I have a yearning for something that I never had.
Oh, sometimes I feel my life has come and then it's gone,
Sometimes I feel my life has come and gone.
I live in this world but I'm only looking on.
I can't understand, it's too far over my head,
I can't understand, it's too far over my head.
I'm living the life but I'm really dying instead, yeah.
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
Momma Momma, I fear you reared me wrong,
'cause I lift up my head and I can't tell where I belong.
Momma Momma Momma Momma, something's terribly wrong.
Dreamer
Don't want to hear no sad songs
I say to the darkness
But it doesn't respond
I ask if I sing a new one
Will I always sing alone
So long I have known only sorrow
How could I fade to here
The sound of all the sleeping hearts
The timid hopefuls waiting for a path to be clear
I can hear a sweet melody
Beneath it all
And it says brave dreamer
Dream a new you won't always dream by yourself
You won't be dream by yourself everybody's gonna sing along
Loneliness has bite my heart
I know its wounded your heart too
But our longing is our revolution
Its going to bring world anew
I can hear a sweet melody
Beneath it all
And it says brave dreamer dream anew
You won't always dream by yourself
You won't dream by yourself
Everybody's got to sing along
But is it possible
I'll say yes its possible
Made it possible
Oh I can hear a sweet melody
Beneath it all
And it says be brave dreamer
Dream anew
You won't always dream by yourself
No you wont dream by yourself
No no you won't dream by yourself
Everybody's gonna sing a long
May It Be
May it be an evening star,
Shines down upon you.
May it be when darkness falls,
Your heart will be true.
You walk a lonely road;
Oh, how far you are from home....
Mornie utulie (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now....
May it be the shadows call,
Will fly away.
May it be your journey on,
To light the day.
When the night is overcome,
You may rise to find the sun.
Mornie utulie (darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen),
A promise lives within you now....
A promise lives within you now....
New Myth
Story let me live
The stars are known and fixed for all children
Story you're a poem
Rush right past the words to the symbol
Who'll memorize us, like the echo and the shadow know?
Who'll leave us better told?
New myth just been born has never felt so old
Story let me die
Get to the garden and leave your body outside
Story sell me same
Sap through the tree running stream,
We all know blood and vein
The choir's singing in a language that we don't know
You've never known me better than now
And this newest song sings like the oldest sound
Say my name like it's never been before
Like the oldest book that gets new life with new title
Who'll memorize us, like the echo and the shadow know?
Who'll leave us better told?
New myth just been born has never felt so old
Canyon Girl
A canyon girl 'neath imaginary skies is beckoning
In a fictional world, I fear I got no business being in
But, cover me, cause I'm going in
And I won't return back to the run of the mill again
A canyon girl from the end of the winding road is calling
From a faraway place, that's the furthest point from the one I'm living in
So, wait for me, cause I'll be climbing in
And I won't return back to the run of the mill
Get Good
Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom?
Like a blanket around you
You were weaving colors when I saw you
Put your velvet on the moonlight
Or have you lost your constellation eyes?
Well you could give it time
I wish I could be there
Wish I could make it right
Don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
That's no trick, that flicker of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
You'll figure it out...and get good again
Na na na na na na,
Na na na na na na na
Stone wall running hills of green
A golden, dusted dandelion scene
A powder soft serene
Oh, it's been so long since powder soft serene
Yeah, it's been so long
Don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
That's no trick, that flicker of radiance
You'll feel lucky, darlin', I promise you this
You'll figure it out...and get good again
Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na
You said you don't know why but you don't feel free
You know it's not true but I know what you mean
I want to thank you for being so good to me
I just wanted you to know
Are the echoes coming back to you?
Is wisdom seeing patterns on a loom?
Like a blanket around you
We'll look out for each other
I'll look out for you
We'll look out for each other
Don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
That's no trick, that flicker of radiance
You'll feel lucky, darlin', I'm sure of it
You'll figure it out...and get good again
Well I feel good, I, and again, and again
Well I feel good, I, and get good again
Na na na na na,
Na na na na na
In a dream,
A dandelion field in a dream
A dandelion field in a dream
