She said, he said.
He was a bit coy and felt like a toy that didn't do what it said on the box
This rocks! I said
You rock he said and run off to his den
When I met him again he presumed to call me by name
And then wren, his wren
To his side I flew
And when the winds blew my wings grew to see the storms through
But his eye wandered
And he saw and wondered about all the world but me
See, I said to him; this is me
Though wanderer you may be and have crossed the sea
This heart beats for thee
But he was gone
When I could not conform and I was torn
Naked and forlorn
Pain
No other memory to remain
No kiss in the rain
Last year I met a boy I wanted to love more than any toy I could own
That is what she said to me
Memory is a selective bitch
She'll roll and pitch this ship
Ditch all that is not rich with self deception
I shall make no mention of the time I said no
When I wanted not to know the many ways life made you sore
I shall forget the day we broke and the days went up in smoke
Last year I met a girl and she wanted to love me so
Last year I met a girl and today I love her more

Aurora
Arms tight around the pillow; lingering scent
Here comes the light, shadows away to dispel
Visions and dreams to dissipate
Hold the night
Hold me tight
Heart fraught with care and strife
Would know more of sweet delight
Night is fled
Dawn kisses face
Morning dew on lips, tender touch, soft caress
Open mouth, open heart; gentle sigh, lost in space
Dawn is broken,
Darkness is fled
Heart that was broken
To the lights seeks to bend

Song of the Weaver
I am love
"I am love"
I am compassion
"I am compassion"
I am the infinite mystery
I was never born
I will never die
I was at the beginning
I will be at the end
I was sown to the winds
I will move in the moment
I was raised to the stars above
I will dance in the sunshine
There is peace
"There is peace"
Out in the infinite Universe
The child clings to the Father's hand
And the world moves beneath his feet
You will be shadow
"You will be shadow"
You will be light
"You will be light"
You will be all that there was
All that there will be
You will be you
"I will be me"
I am war
"I am war"
I am the emptiness of the child
I am the well of rage in Mephisto's realm
I am sadness
I am the unkind word before a meal
That makes fire and ice
I am the Horseman
I am not yet come
"I am love"
I am love
"I am compassion"
I am compassion
I was born to the Old Woman
I was born to the fair maiden
She was a warrior woman
Fierce love as in old Aeden
I am you
"You are me"
I am the monk atop the lonely mountain
You are me
"I am you"
I am the father of the man
I am love
"I am love"
I am compassion
"I am compassion"

Here by the fireside
Here by the fireside we sing songs
Songs of love and songs of wonder
Life is a journey of rights and wrongs
And sometimes everything is torn asunder
But life is wonder up above or down under
So I heard a girl say, named Susanna
And all that you build and all that you plunder
Will pass on the winds before the thunder
This world is neither yours nor mine to barter
A visitor from distant lands I come to wander
Life is what you make it and no harder
Such things I have learnt on this road I wander

A Song for Keira
Here we stand by the fireside singing songs
Singing about tomorrow and the day that's gone
Thinking of the roads and tunnels long
We'll wander east and west 'til we get home.
The clouds are gathered, winds blowing,
Together huddled for the storm is coming
Pain pulls to the edge of night, falling
Searing and burning bright, we lie groaning.
Across the plains and up the mountains
With nature's towers and flowing fountains
We lay to rest your earthly form
A month and twenty days, your home.
Goodbye goodbye Goddess of peace,
Heart of innocence without sin
Your life with us a pleasant dream
One of us, forever we sing.
This world will not break our heavy hearts
For your laughter we have known, pure and light
Perfect forever you remain, peace to you we pray
One of us, forever we sing,
One of us, forever in our hearts.
