Isadora
Feeling so unreal
I've lost sight of all I knew
I need sunny days with you
I feel what it's coming to
it's a holiday
times that we've had before
when I'm not really sure
with you I need nothing more
Oh, Isadora
Oh, Isadora
you're still there.
When I'm close to you
you make the world go away
words we don't need say
spoken as in a play
if I said goodbye
you know we could never be
because I could never see
you far away from me.
Oh, Isadora
Oh, Isadora
you're still there.
Isadora, all the seasons fall
Isadora, all the seasons fall
seasons fall, seasons fall.
Oh, Isadora
Oh, Isadora
you're still there.
Isadora, all the seasons fall
Isadora, all the seasons fall
seasons fall, seasons fall.
Roads to Freedom
We may not always be
the way we are this time today
we may not always see
so eye to eye in every day
well, we've better things to do
and better sights to see
but this time is for me.
The days are long gone away
when we'd be holding on
all the nights that made yesterday
so hard to move along
climbing away from what we've been
every day we live again
we're free.
And there'll be other dreams
that come to nothing in the wind
somedays of wine and green
somedays you'll never seen to win
so seize this golden moment
it is only passing by
don't even have to try.
The days are long gone away
when we'd be holding on
all the nights that made yesterday
so hard to move along
climbing away from what we've been
every day we live again
we're free.
You and me on roads to freedom
you and me on roads to freedom...
Beautiful Country
Beautiful country
you mountains of heaven
your glistening rivers a twisting away
beautiful givers of summer's white kisses
boldly for winter we want you to stay
I well lay me down upon the soft solid ground of this land.
Beautiful country
you meadows of patchwork
you go to my senses
you are part of me
as my mind wanders across your horizon
I stand at the doorway to eternity
I well lay me down upon the soft solid ground of this land.
Solo Flight
Mama told me not to go for the ride
now it's burning me up inside
knowing someone's got a hold over you
some say this is only one thing to do
you've got to get out on your solo flight
you've got to get out on your solo flight.
You're nothing better, check out your feet
you may find you're tracked a long winding street
there are a lot of very strange things said now
they will try to tell you why, where and how
you've got to get out on your solo flight
you've got to get out on your solo flight.
Standing there I knew we'd have us the same
substituting different numbers for names
finding this is what is meant by the light
said I'm losing touch and losing my sight
you've got to get out on your solo flight
you've got to get out on your solo flight.
Everywhere you go
Everywhere you go I'll be about you
it'll be such a lonely world without you
I can't get away from the thought of you
the taste of you
lingers every day and every minute
know that one sweet day we're gonna come through
gonna be the day we're come through
all these days of wondering
seem like sand upon a beach
gonna wait forever in a circle
Everywhere you go I'll be about you
I can't think of anything without you
no use in thinking what is done or what will be
no excuse in sinking to find another sad day
that's the way it's always gonna be
about you, about you.
Face of Yesterday
No mystery to eclipse the sun
until the sculpture had begun
to etch and mold the dream
which soon became a passing dame
a song for god singing
a face of yesterday.
Build a lady's base of sand
and stretched his willing gentle hand
to seek for help to shape
the life he had depended on
which fell like rain and snow
a face of yesterday.
Man and music, low dusk gone
four simple instruments or more
when they play together
then they found his harmony
a cluttered symphony
a face of yesterday.
Candles are Burning
It seemed so strange that we should part
it takes no need and no heart
I come away but where are you
there's only words to hang on to
still candles are burning
still candles are burning.
I've known you for a thousand years
I've cried you through a thousand tears
this time you've shown your face too late
and for the first we had to wait
still candles are burning
still candles are burning.
How can I run from what is true
a world's begun since there was you
it's hard to lose what might have been
but what is real and what's a dream
still candles are burning
still candles are burning.
Candles are burning
my hands are being charred
we'll make the best of it
and finally fit where we belong
I can't be certain
that I'll see you again
but there will always be a flame with me
that never ends.
