We'll always be together through the flames of night Love and visions seem so bright Girl you got me feelin alight Do you feel the same as me tonight? Majestic smoke rising Through the face of time I checked my mind at the door With a shower of rain Feelin my heart beat Silent visions seem the same Girl you got me feelin alright do you feel the same as me tonight

Reaching for something Never know what it is Is it on earth or in my head? Never learned these things Taking me into the light Drawing me into the night Love is what we have Its all that we need Take me into your Open Heart Searching for anything to get me through these long nights is it in my control? Is it in your control? Taking me into the light Drawing me into the night

Runaway 03:23
As I walk along I wonder what went wrong with our love a love that was so strong and as I still walk on I think of the things we've done together while our hearts were young I'm walkin in the rain tears are falling and I feel the pain wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder Why why why wonder Why Why Why Why she ran away and I wonder where she will stay my little runaway run run run runaway I'm walkin in the rain tears are falling and I feel the pain wishing you were here by me to end this misery I wonder Why why why wonder Why Why Why Why she ran away and I wonder where she will stay my little runaway run run run runaway

Hey Captain Merwin Hey captain Merwin Where are you going, today? Oh Hey Captain Merwin Hey Captain Merwin Why did you leave us in space? Why did you leave us in space? Come back for us now Don't leave us stranded Come back for us now Don't leave us stranded Come back for us Don't leave us stranded

Feel It Now 02:41
All across the land a show of ghosts at hand a field of soft white trees with bright red leaves I've never seen this before I've never felt this before I've never heard this before and I've never seen this before All across the sea some people like me a wave of white foam with dark green smoke and I've never seen this before and I've never felt this before I've never heard this before and I've never seen this before all across the land a show of ghosts at hand a field of soft white trees with bright red leaves purple mountain trees feel my heart on my sleeve feel it now feel it now my head's on the ground my head's on the ground

Open Eyes 03:31
The sun shines over my blue face in such a weird way Talons of gold pierce my eyes in such a strange way Take me through open my eyes for I am lost forever more The night beats away my soul in such a weird way But the man of my heart keeps dark away Take me through open my eyes for I am lost forever more Take me through open my eyes for I am lost forever more
9.
She's Free 02:42
She's free Dead flowers in her hair fell through the sky in despair Blindly we wander free in the asylum of time's key Broken wings learn to fly crying eyes change their tide She's free Dead dreams in my mind leaves me nothing to find Red roses in her eyes she's so lonely, she's so kind Broken wings learn to fly crying eyes change their tide She's free

The Carnival 02:50
Cosmic carnival is where we meet We spend all day there traveling through space It's time to face the world everything swirls around this world Its all the same in the cosmic carnival you can stay as long as you'd like It's so beautiful It's so beautiful Cosmic carnival is where we meet you can stay as long as you would like

about

"Somewhere between the strands of pure fantasy and the lucid luminous lights of imagination, in a colorful semi-conscious state is where “Cosmic Carnival” resides. Never has there been such a perfect marriage of smooth psychedelic-rock confection with gliding velvety harmonies. The passages and changes in this music are a marvel – and so very addicting. There are light moments, dark moments, unbalanced moments, it’s all covered. I can’t listen to a single song without anticipating the song that comes next. The band is tight, the lyrics trippy and somewhat poetic as they contemplate the world around them, including a cover of the 1961 Del Shannon mega-hit, “Runaway”. “Cosmic Carnival” is recommendable to anyone interested in psychedelic rock, but especially those with authentic late 60s leanings."
