I walk the maze of moments
But everywhere I turn to begins a new beginning
But never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
And there I find another
It all seems so surprising
And then I find that I know

Chorus:
You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
If we stay here we're not together
Anywhere Is

The moon upon the ocean
Is swept around in motion
But without ever knowing
The reason for its flowing
In motion on the ocean
The moon still keeps on moving
The waves still keep on waving
And I still keep on going

Chorus

I wonder if the stars sign
the life that is to be mine
And would they let their star shine
Enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
But night has clouded over
No spark of constellation
No Vela no Orion

The shells upon the warm sands
Have taken from their own lands
The echo Of Their Story
But All I hear are low sounds
As pillow words are weaving
And willow waves are leaving
But should I be believing
That I am only dreaming

Chorus

To leave the thread of all time
And let it make a dark line
In hopes That I can Still Find
The way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
Begin a new beginning
Still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
It's either this or that way
It's one way or the other
It should be one direction
It could be on reflection
The turn I have just taken
The turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.

Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum.     Believe that every day has

Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum.     Believe that every day has

 The object of Roman religion was to secure the cooperation,
       benevolence, and "peace" of the gods (pax deorum)
  
 This line may be divided into "domine o venite o sacramentum
       (disces m)eo deo," which is difficult to translate and is
       questionable grammar.  It may be intended to mean both
       "lord o come o sacrament by/from that god" and "lord o come
       o (you) learn of/from my god."  Both sentences are necessary
       because the eo/meo trick can't be attempted in English
  
 The word "sacramentum" is a Latin word used to describe an
       oath.  Later it came to refer to a formal Christian rite,
       especially one considered to have been instituited by Jesus as
       a means of grace--often communion.
  
This Irish Gaelic line is the same as the first two lines of Athair Ar Neamh.
  
 This Latin is a quote from Horace's Epistles, Book I,
       Epistle IV, line 13.

China Roses ^

Who can tell me if we have heaven,
Who can say the way it should be;
Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet,
Angel's tears below a tree.

You talk of break of morning
As you view the new aurora,
Cloud in crimson, the key of heaven,
One love carved in acajou.

One told me of China Roses,
One a Thousand nights and one night,
Earth's last picture, the end of evening;
Hue of indigo and blue.

A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
My dream, my way.

I know that if I have heaven
there is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me.

I see the sun...
I see the stars....

 
Hope Has A Place ^

One look at love
and you may see
it weaves a web
over mystery,
all ravelled threads
can rend apart
for hope has a place in the lover's heart.
Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Whispering world,
A sigh of sighs,
The ebb and the flow
of the ocean tides,
One breath, one word
may end or may start
a hope in a place of the lover's heart.
Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Look to love
you may dream,
and if it should leave
then give it wings.
But if such love
is meant to be;
Hope is home, and the heart is free.

Under the heavens
we journey far,
on roads of life
we're the wanderers,
So let love rise,
So let love depart,
Let hope have a place in the lover's heart.
Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

Look to love....

 
Once You Had Gold ^

Once you had gold,
Once you had silver,
Then came the rains
out of the blue.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.

Now you can see
Spring becomes autumn,
leaves become gold
falling from view.
Ever and always.
Always and ever.
No-one can promise a dream come true,
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.

What is the dark;
shadows around you,
why not take heart
in the new day?
Ever and always.
Always and Ever.
No-one can promise a dream for you,
Time gave both darkness and dreams to you.

On My Way Home ^

I have been given
one moment from heaven
as I am walking
surrounded by night,
Starts high above me
make a wish under moonlight.

On my way home
I remember
Only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I'm on my way home
I can remember
every new day.

I move in silence
with each step taken,
snow falling round me
like angels in flight,
Far in the distance
is my wish under moonlight.

Wild Child ^

Ever close your eyes
ever stop and listen
ever feel alive
and you’ve nothing missing
you don’t need a reason

Let the rain fall down
everywhere around you

let the day surround you
you don’t need a reason
let the rain go on and on

What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day

from the helter skelter
every day you find
everything’s in kilter
you don’t need a reason
let the day go on and on

Every summer sun
every winter evening
every spring to come
every autumn leaving
you don’t need a reason
let it all go on and on

What a day

Only Time ^

Who can say
where the roads goes
where the day flows
- only time
And who can say
if your love grows
as your heart chose
- only time

Who can say
why your heart sighs
as your love flies
- only time
And who can say
why your heart cries
when your love lies
- only time

Who can say
when the roads meet
that love might be
in your heart
And who can say
when the day sleeps
if the night keeps
all your heart

Night keeps all your heart

Who can say if your love grows
as your heart chose
- only time
And who can say
where the road goes
where the day flows
- only time

Who knows - only time
Who knows - only time

Deora Ar Mo Chrói (Tears On My Heart) ^

How beautiful the day and night;
the earth is singing in the wind,
the voices rise and touch the sky
telling all the earth’s believing,
and in the night sighs fall down,
and from the skies sighs fall down on me.

And when I move away from view
my voice is singing in the wind,
it rises up to touch the sky
telling all that I believe in,
and from the night earth shall sing,
and from the night earth shall sing,
and from the night earth shall sing again.




Flora's Secret ^

Lovers in the long grass
look above them
only they can see
where the clouds are going
only to discover
dust and sunlight
ever make the sky so blue

Afternoon is hazy
river flowing
all around the sounds
moving closer to them
telling them the story
told by flora
dreams they never knew

Silver willows
tears from Persia
those who come
from a far-off island
Winter Chanterelle lies
under cover
Glory-of-the-sun in blue

Some they know as passion
some as freedom
some they know as love
and the way it leaves them
Summer snowflake
for a season
when the sky above is blue
when the sky above is blue
Lying in the long grass
close beside her
giving her the name

of the one the moon loves
this will be the day she
will remember
when she knew his heart
was loving in the long grass
close beside her
whispering of love
and the way it leaves them
flora’s secret
telling them of love
and the way it breathes
and looking up from eyes
of amaranthine
they can see the sky is blue
knowing that their love is true
dreams they never knew
and the sky above is blue




Fallen Embers ^

Once, as my heart remembers,
all the stars were fallen embers.
Once, when night seemed forever
I was with you.
 
Once, in the care of morning
in the air was all belonging.
Once, when that day was dawning
I was with you.
 
How far we are from morning,
how far are we
and the stars shining through the darkness,
falling in the air.
 
Once, as the night was leaving
into us our dreams were weaving.
Once, all dreams were worth keeping,
I was with you.

Once, when our hearts were singing,
I was with you.




Pilgrim ^

Pilgrim, how you journey
on the road you chose
to find out were the winds die
and where the stories go.
All days come from one day
that must you must know,
you cannot change what’s over
but only where you go.
 
One way leads to diamonds,
one way leads to gold,
another leads you only
to everything you’re told.
In your heart you wonder
which of these is true;
the road that leads to nowhere,
the road that leads to you.
 
Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
in you?
 
Each heart is a pilgrim,
each one wants to know
the reason why the winds die
and where the stories go.
Pilgrim, in your journey
you may travel far,
for pilgrim it’s a long way
to find out who you are…
 
Pilgrim, it’s a long way
to find out who you are…
 
Pilgrim, it’s a long way
to find out who you are…




One By One ^

Here am I yet another goodbye!
He says Adi`os, says Adi`os,
and do you know why
she won’t break down and cry?
- she says Adi`os, says Adi`os, Goodbye.
 
One by one my leaves fall,
One by one my tales are told.
 
It’s no lie she is yearning to fly.
She says Adi`os, says Adi`os,
and now you know why
he’s reasons to sigh
- she says Adi`os, says Adi`os, Goodbye.
 
One by one my leaves fall,
One by one my tales are told.

My, oh my! She was aiming too high.
He says Adi`os, says Adi`os,
and do you know why
there’s no moon in her sky
- he says Adi`os, says Adi`os, Goodbye.
 
No Goodbyes
for love brightens their eyes.
Don’t say Adi`os, say Adi`os,
and do you know why
there’s a love that won’t die?
- don’t say Adi`os, say Adi`os, Goodbye.
 
- don’t say Adi`os, say Adi`os, Goodbye.
- don’t say Adi`os, say Adi`os, Goodbye.
- don’t say Adi`os, say Adi`os, Goodbye.




Lazy Days ^

Lazy old day
rolling away
dreaming the day away
don’t want to go
now that I’m in the flow
crazy amazing day
 
One red balloon
floats to the moon
just let it fly away
I only know
that I’m longing to go
back to my lazy day
 
And how it sings and how it sighs
and how it never stays
And how it rings and how it cries
and how it sails away… away… away

The Frog Prince ^

Deep in my dreams,
I saw you close by my side.
And the words you said to me,
made me reel down deep inside.

My hand in your hand,
so warm and so lovingly.
Leaving all my dreams behind,
wonder who my prince will be?

Chorus:
What is this wonder,
that love can make you feel?
Am I deep now in slumber,
or is my prince real?

Now, now my dream,
is standing close by my side.
Saying words I wish to hear,
and I'm reeling deep inside.

Chorus

Morning has come,
my dreams are left far behind.
As I walk through Paris streets,
I know now what I shall find.

This smile on my face,
will carry a love I have known.
Like a fairytale come true,
oh, what joy this love has shown.




Dreams ^

You're everything my dreams have seen.
But, what are dreams?
I'm walking where my dreams have been.
But, what are dreams?

Can I believe these spells I feel?
I'm wary now.
Can I believe, or is this real?
I'm wary now.

Just like some new-born creature, I.
What are dreams?
A child in need of love and care.
Tell me what, tell me what, are dreams?
					            
Can I believe these spells I feel?
I'm wary now.
Can I believe, or is this real?
I'm wary now.

Just like some new-born creature, I.
What are dreams?
A child in need of love and care.
Tell me what, tell me what, are dreams?

'S Fágaim mo Bhaile ^
And I Leave my Home


Maidin 's tús an lae

's fágaim mo bhaile.

Tá mo chroíse go brón

's fada ar shiúl m'óige.


Curfá:

Oíche 's mé liom féin.

Spéartha dubh go domhain, a choích.

Ag cuimhneamh ar laetha a bhí

gan ghá agus gan ghruaim.

Éistim leis an ghaoth.

Uaigneas mór, go deo, a choích.


Deireadh an turas mór,

táim brónach, buartha 's briste.

I mo dhiaidh nach mbeidh níos mó,

ach, tá sé i ndán dúinn, a pháistí.

Repeat last line


Curfá


Is fada anois an lá

a d'fhág mé mo bhaile.

Níl áthas i mo shaol.

Níl ann ach an marbh.

Repeat last line


Morning and the start of the day

and I leave my home.

My heart is grieving

and my youth is long past.


Chorus:

Night and I am alone.

Endless deep black skies.

Recollecting the days that were

carefree and happy


I listen to the wind.

Great loneliness, forever, and ever.


The end of the great journey,

I am sad, sorrowful, and broken.

After me, there will be nothing more,

but, it is our fate, children.

Repeat last line


Chorus


Long ago was the day

that I left my home.

There is no joy in my life.

Nothing is left except the dead.

Repeat last line



  The song is very dismal and, almost certainly, refers to those people who left 
Ireland, probably at the time of the famine (1843 - 1847). Many people left my 
native Kerry during and after this period. It was common to have what was called 
Tуrramh Meiriceбnach , an American Wake. This was conducted just as a wake would
be for the dead, because it was felt that the person going to America would never
be seen again and was effectively dead as far as the people left behind were 
concerned. The quays from which emigrant ships left for the New World were often 
called бit na ndeуr, the place of tears.



I May Not Awaken ^

When the warmth of the day becomes the night 
Who could sleep beneath a strange moonlight? 
No guiding star 
So far from home 
Walked the way o' promise to find but snow 
Throughout, the voice of the winds brings nothing more 
Than low echoes 
So far from home 

Even from a child 
A wish is not enough 
For me, for me the sky may fall 
And even from a child 
A dream is not enough 
Could be, could be the sky may fall 
Could be, could be the night ends all 

No rains could weep as I have wept 
To know a simple dream will not be kept 
I am a child 
So far from home 
One by one the sky falls 
I may not awaken 


Only If... ^

When there's a shadow, you follow the sun. 
When there is love, then you look for the one. 
And for the promises, there is the sky. 
And for the heavens are those who can fly. 

Chorus: 
If you really want to, you can hear me say 
Only if you want to will you find a way. 
If you really want to you can seize the day. 
Only if you want to will you fly away. 

Da da da da, da da da da da. 
da da da da, da da da da da, 
da da da da. 

When there's a journey, you follow a star. 
When there's an ocean, you sail from afar. 
And for the broken heart, there is the sky. 
And for tomorrow are those who can fly. 

Chorus

Da da da da, da da da da da. 
da da da da, da da da da da, 
da da da da. 

Ooh go doe bay mwa. 
Ooh go doe bay mwa. 

Chorus 

Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile 
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile, 
d'aile... 

Ooh go doe bay mwa. 
Ooh go doe bay mwa. 

Chorus 

If you really want to you can seize the day. 
Only if you want to will you fly away.



Paint the Sky with Stars ^ 
 
Suddenly before my eyes 
Hues of indigo arise 
With them how my spirit sighs 
Paint the sky with stars 

Only night will ever know 
Why the heavens never show 
All the dreams there are to know 
Paint the sky with stars 

Who has paced the midnight sky? 
So a spirit has to fly 
As the heavens seem so far 
Now who will paint the midnight star? 

Night has brought to those who sleep 
Only dreams they cannot keep 
I have legends in the deep 
Paint the sky with stars 

Who has paced the midnight sky? 
So a spirit has to fly 
As the heavens seem so far 
Now who will paint the midnight star? 

Place a name upon the night 
One to set your heart alight 
And to make the darkness bright 
Paint the sky with stars.
