You are the wind in my ears
A crystal face reflecting love
Appearing here in 1861
Silver Heels, saving us
Never die, when you fly
You are the sun in our heart
Velvet stars the sick are healed
Slip away, Spring is near
Silver heels, saving us
Never die, when you fly
Silver heels
Long black veil
Flowers drop, saving us
Never die, when you fly

There's no daylight here in Baffin Bay
But finding Sir John, there's no other way
In the cold men and dogs starve alike
Retreat to the Advance for a night
On Dr. Kane's Arctic Expedition
We can't fail on this mission
Back on the ice searching for our friends
My mind numbs, exhaustion ascends
Thankful to the Inuit and their generosity
Helps us return to strength with velocity
On Dr. Kane's Arctic Expedition
We can't fail on this mission
Load the whaleboats we're leaving
No signs of Sir John that we're perceiving
Dr. Kane our brave leader quips
"Say goodbye boys to the ships"
On Dr. Kane's Arctic Expedition
We have failed in our mission

Seeing things for today
Endless waves of blonde hair
Hearing things for today
Looking for that gleam in your eye
Feeling things for today
Reach out and live today
Living in your own way
What to do with a perfect day?
Run around with my old friends
Shooting film since '69
O Claudia looks so fine
Bright lights all around
The nightlife is why we're here
City sounds all around
Looking for that next big break
See the heartache
Reach out and live today
Living in your own way
What to do with a perfect day?
Run around with my old friends
Shooting film since '69
O Claudia looks so fine
Everything comes crashing down
Dreams and hopes are memories
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
Reach out and live today
Living in your own way
Shooting film since '69
O Claudia looks so fine

Be An Ant

Oh to be walking free
Garden grows, Blueberry nose
Light a plant
Be an ant
See me
Walking alone
Cold night
The sunlights bright
Oh to be walking free
Garden grows, Blueberry nose
Light a plant
Be an ant
Hear me
Screaming free
Wild shoes
Sing the blues
Oh to be walking free
Garden grows, Blueberry nose
Light a plant
Be an ant

An investment in adventure
Six feet of rubber for this venture
Roll me out of Cayuga Island
I don't know if I'll see dryland
The Daredevil of Niagara Falls
Enclosed by red rubber walls
Down, Down, Down he goes
Will he live? No one knows
The rubber ball bobs up and down
Getting ready to feel the comedown
50 minutes that will live on forever
Am I dumb or am I clever?
The Daredevil of Niagara Falls
Enclosed by red rubber walls
Down, Down, Down he goes
Will he live? No one knows
Red Hill riverman waits for me
Takes me out of that cold sea
"I could do it" were my words
To the people gathered in a herd
The Daredevil of Niagara Falls
Out of those red rubber walls
Down, Down, Down he went
And up a new hero arose

The Wheatfield

Moving along in silent acceptance
A shallow ravine of impending doom
Blank faces, they're slightly deranged
Rushing minds, they're all alone
Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road
Faded coats of blue witness horror
Trampled beauty stains the world
Mysterious spirits quiver in gray
Forever keeping their eternal secrets
Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road
Death explodes in the quiet morning
Morning dew drips off their faces
Red waterways of dreams drift on by
Building the dam of things never to come
Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road
Rushing forward in the cloud of smoke
Lead like bees swarm 'round their head
Friends and enemies, they fall the same way
The only peace that they'll ever know
Oh Wheatfield Road
Oh Wheatfield Road

Dreams Upon The Mast

I am a sailor now like before the war
Sailing on the seas of space and time
Drifting through the cosmos, I leave no trace
The world glides on by
Echoes of an unseen past
Deeper in the afterglow
Dreams raised upon the mast
I explore the stars now, like before the war
Comets swirl in the sky and then disappear
As I sail around this giant sphere
Lonely house by the bridge to nowhere
Blue enchanted lights lead the way
As I sail into the darkened fray
The world glides on by
Echoes of an unseen past
Deeper in the afterglow
Dreams raised upon the mast
Like dreams raised upon the mast
Like dreams raised upon the mast
Like dreams raised upon the mast

Run to the Night
02:51
|

|
Living in a dream where time has stopped
Frozen souls from bodies dropped
It's time for you and me to be
Dying in a life that never was free
Angry people that's all we see
It's time for you and me to be free
Run to the night
Cuz life is such a fight
Run to the night
Only you can be free
Living in a dream where time has stopped
Empty people is all we see
It's time for you and me to be free

Strange visions I see
Now it is time
Now I see we are one
Now I see you are the only one
Strange visions I see
Now it is time
Now I see we are one
Now I see you are the only one
Strange visions I see
Now it is time
How can we go on?
Now that time is gone

Memories of you
They don't know what will be
Because this world finds its way back to love
Do you think this is the right way?
We only need today
Because the happy man finds a place in her heart
I'm driving up this North road
Pushing the pedal to the floor
And when I get there, the beauty of her eyes
Is all I need
Too much time has passed
Now we see each other at last
Cuz this world finds its way back to love
The child that is deep inside us
Keeps the miracle alive
Because the happy man finds a place in her heart
I'm driving up this North road
Pushing the pedal to the floor
And when I get there, the beauty of her eyes
Is all I need baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Lady Moonshine shine so high
Lady Moonshine shine so high
Oh I feel love
She shines so bright it warms my life
Embrace her mind and be loved
Lady Moonshine shine so high
Lady Moonshine shine so high
Oh I love her
It's time to leave but not for long
We'll see you soon with the shining girls
Shine so brightly
Shine so brightly
Oh with love from us
Shine so brightly
Shine so brightly
Oh with love from us
(We love you!)
