Once Once upon a sweet time You stood on a hill Alone and unreal And I kept walking Once upon a sweet time The world ceased to spin I looked back and grinned And we were caught in Darling love me now Won’t you love me now As I move so brave in your sea Darling love me now Till the dark climbs down And we’re wild, and naked and free Under dark desert night One boy and one girl On the edge of the world And chimes rang slowly Once upon a sweet time We stood on the wind She wrapped us within And your eyes, your eyes Your eyes… Darling love me now Won’t you love me now As I move so brave in your sea Darling love me now Till the dark climbs down And we’re wild, and naked and free We are wild and naked and free We are wild and naked and free… Tel Aviv Song Dawn breaks my reverie Vagabonds come to me Here there and everywhere I sing them songs Nine thousand windows And nobody’s home We have hearts like volcanoes All set to explode To explode I’m walking, I’m walking This sweet of a Tel Aviv street You’re standing there smiling You don’t know How you do to me And I’m singing as I’m walking This sweet of a Tel Aviv Sweet of a Tel Aviv street I see you there smiling You don’t know How you do to me I’m singing Sweeeeeet love melody Sweeeeeet Tel Aviv melody Sweet, Tel Aviv melody Sweet, Tel Aviv melody Sweet. Night owls make their sounds And I have been lost and found Many times over And over again Whisper me new tales Of serpents and nightingales Fly through this light time This night time This light time I’m walking, I’m walking This sweet of a Tel Aviv street You’re standing there smiling You don’t know How you do to me And I’m singing as I’m walking This sweet of a Tel Aviv Sweet of a Tel Aviv street I see you there smiling You don’t know How you do to me I’m singing Sweeeeeet love melody Sweeeeeet Tel Aviv melody Sweet, Tel Aviv melody Sweet, Tel Aviv melody Sweet. Dawn breaks my reverie Vagabonds come to me Here there and everywhere I sing them songs Unknown I was a girl laid next to him I was a girl who slept upon her wings I was a girl who stayed up late I was a girl who fed the hands of fate I was a girl who bled in blue I was a girl who waited for the moon I was a girl who cried for man I was a girl who traded gold for sand And the waves washed her away… I was a girl who loved the lost I was a minstrel’s song of silver frost I was a girl who wrote of lions I was a girl who spoke in tongues my own And the waves washed her away… Ithaca As you set out for Ithaca May your voyage linger on Thoughts held high amongst the stars No your demons don’t belong As you set out for the Isle of Time May your body feel the stir Visions new delight your skies She is where you’re destined for Whoa whoa whoa Ebony and coral Amber and peal Egyptian cities call you And the voices In your soul Ithaca Lights your eyes And all your ships are sailing Ithaca Frees your mind Your destiny, your destiny Your destiny’s unveiling As you set out for Ithaca Where your Cyclops dares to hide Poseidon bares all before Your traveler’s heart so wide Oh as you set out for Ithaca There is no need to fear Your fortune lay in the journey She is wiser for your years Whoa whoa whoa Ebony and coral Amber and peal Egyptian cities call you And the voices In your soul Ithaca Lights your eyes And all your ships are sailing Ithaca Frees your mind Your destiny, your destiny Your destiny’s unveiling As you set out for Ithaca You will find her rich or poor A never ending traveler’s tale Unfolds upon her shore… City Moonshine Fragile Heart I write you of this night Of a city moonshine fragile heart This heart of mine today Feels, she is made, of glass Yet another bus On yet another fragile day This you and me of us From here, to there, and back again From here, to there and back again Love Weave me The ghosts of our world Breathe me Love Weave me Breathe me Like we’ve never been A day more hard than some To kiss your mouth and walk away Play me like an accordion Till the bellows Blow me through Your gates My belly feels the call My belly all anticipates The you and me of all Your hand holds mine Beneath the mists of fate Beneath the mists of fate Love Weave me The ghosts of our world Breathe me Love Weave me Breathe me Like we’ve never been Sing me sing me the time Where the white and the black birds fly… Love Weave me The ghosts of our world Breathe me Love Weave me Breathe me Like we’ve never been 5:30am There are words on the wind And I breathe life in And I taste the sky And wonder why I forget to remember How to live this life And the city she Breathes on my skin As I watch a lilac night roll in And a day disappear Oh the birds are all I hear All I want to do is Lay lay lay All I want to do is Stay stay stay Everything else just fades away All I want to see is your face All I want to see is your face Well a city bus rolls on by As I Close my eyes, dream of fireflies, Warm nights You and I don’t forget to remember How to live this life And this city she beats in my blood As the northern lights call me From above So far, so far You are My love All I want to do is Lay lay lay All I want to do is Stay stay stay Everything else just fades away All I want to see is your face All I want to do is Run run run to you All I want to do is Come come come with you All I want to be is one one one With you All I want to see is your…. All I want to see is your… Your face smiling through the window See a new expression that I don’t know Feel your piano fingers on my.. Watch you sleeping til the sun rise high Hear you sing Jim Morrison to me Save tonight I’ll leave at 5:30am Back on the bus to my city life again Leave at 5:30am All I want to see is your face… Unseal Reveal Winter chill is at my door again Hard to tell where my skin begins and where warmth ends I ain’t answering no call I ain’t answering no call Today’s the day to withdraw again Solitude I choose My company I can’t refrain And it’s your words on which I draw It’s your words on which I draw You wrote Unseal reveal There are snakes entwined This place of rhythm, where I rest You wrote Unseal reveal There are snakes entwined there We can dance here sister We can dance here sister We can dance here sister Scarlet ravishes the sky to the west A staircase to the sun She hides behind the clouds their grey And I’m safe within these walls I’m so happy ‘tween these walls To the girl who wrote the words of which I sing It’s for you I dream It’s for you that I am thinking and Your poetry’s my score Your poetry’s my score You wrote Unseal reveal There are snakes entwined This place of rhythm, where I rest You wrote Unseal reveal There are snakes entwined there We can dance here sister We can dance here sister We can dance here sister…..

burning in the sky you and i, in this beautiful world where i’m feeling so big and so small at the same time and you told me how you loved me like the rocks they love the waves and your words sweep me away beyond the dusk and you took me to your banyan tree on the day that I first came and I lost myself somewhere between love and lust you and i, in this beautiful world where your love’s too big for just one girl to hold you and i you and i you and i in this beautiful world where in one long moment i’m feeling so young, and so old and you told me how you loved me with the words you couldn’t say and I smiled and with my eyes I said the same and you drew from me emotion that was caught within the seams and I have to choose myself or you it seems and you told me when I let go that you could see translucent wings invisible to all the eyes but yours and you laughed so, when you smiled at me as I was dancing on the beach we felt so close and now we’re out of reach you and i, in this beautiful world where I finally see how to read behind your eyes you and i you and i you and i in this beautiful world where we’re holding hands and drinking chai neath those tiny fires in the sky….. sinbad
