My Baby 03:34
lyrics
buy track
My Baby Even from the start I could feel your heart, you’re a part of me Everywhere I know I can feel your soul deep inside of me And when you go, I hear your voice reminding me It’s ok, you say, “You’re my baby!” Your body and your mind, your spirit flooding mine like a waterfall Running through my soul, like the ancients told you’re a part of all And when it’s cold I know the sun will find us, and when it’s dark we shine My my my my my my baby! And when you go away to be the one to stay tears me right in two Flying cross the sea if I could simply be waiting there for you How far we go, the miles between won’t measure I’ll be the shore holding your horizon, I’ll be the torch to guide My my my my my my baby!

Magic Beauty Pain 06:05
lyrics

Magic, Beauty, Pain I. No, it isn’t my imagination The smile only tells you half I have seen the rays of glory And the stories Captured in the photographs Of the magic and the beauty And the sunset over Gyumri And the ocean, and you laughing in the rain We were dancing at another party Was it New York, or Cagliari You were waving when we took that ride in Spain Everywhere I see you Standing there I see you Were our smiles just a little strained? If this is it, I’ll take it Stand right there, I’ll take it Caught in the light so clear and plain All the magic and the beauty and the pain II. You know you always moved me baby Sometimes love is not enough I have seen the circles broken And the greatest heart I’ve ever known all locked up But the magic and the beauty And the sunset on the blue sea And the pine trees, and the march on the boulevard We were singing at another concert Was it Berlin, or Copenhagen? You were waving from the soundboard in the park Everywhere I see you Standing there I see you Were our smiles just a little strained? If this is it, I’ll take it Stand right there, I’ll take it Caught in the light so clear and plain was the magic and the beauty and the pain III. Take care of your soul my son As you hold your fists so proud and strong I have seen your dreams on fire And you can make that flame burn on and on and on When a boy, becomes a man And he starts to understand All the choices how they follow us along You were playing at another party Was it Brooklyn or was it Harlem Every picture, every story, every song In every one I see you Oh so clear I see you Your smile leaves something to explain If this is it, I’ll take it Stand right there, I’ll take it It shines together once again In the magic and the beauty and the pain IV. Now I’m looking out my window The clouds are perfect in the blue sky I surrender to the winds of life If I don’t do nothin’, the river still rolls by Everywhere I see you Oh so clear I see you And nothing there that I would change If this is it, I’ll take it Stand right there, I’ll take it The magic, beauty and the pain The magic, beauty and the pain Magic, beauty, pain Magic beauty pain

93 Stories 04:58

93 STORIES Stare at the ceiling, lie in my bed Some 93 stories I play in my head Nothin is wrong honey, turnout the light This is getting too deep, it’ll all be just fine Talk about this and we talk about that And I choke when I talk us right under the tracks Send me a message…show me a sign Take me back to the place that I know in your eyes Like a candle that burns in the brightest of hearts The sun and the moon around each little star Hands on the clock pushin’ slowly through time Turnin’ my world upside down Dream… yeah a dream, wake me up baby it’s really not hard as it seems Dream…yeah a dream, take me back to the place in your eyes I wanna be Maybe I just been here too many times in my safe little room in the back of my mind Where all of the colors are what they should be and I don’t have to move and I don’t have to breathe Measure the distance, the miles of a heart in the blue of an end, in the black of a start I never was good at just drawin’ the line, though I try to be cool, I just drop it sometimes. Like a candle that burns in the brightest of hearts The sun and the moon around each little star Hands on the clock pushin’ slowly through time Turnin’ me round and around Dream… yeah a dream, wake me up baby I’m really not hard as it seems Dream…yeah a dream, take me back to the place in your eyes I wanna be Now I’m lookin forward though sometimes I stare at the here and the now, the when and the where I push and I pull and I laugh till I cry, then it all disappears in the blink of an eye Yeah a dream, wake me up baby I’m really not tough as I seem Dream…yeah a dream, take me back to the place in your eyes I wanna be

Green Grass 03:48
lyrics

GREEN GRASS I don’t know, maybe moved around too much Didn’t mean to break your heart But the promises were made And the suitcases were packed We were on our way to the greener grass I feel your rhythm I feel your soul I suddenly feel your pain The bass line’s shifting, syncopated underneath Yellow bird in the window there I see why you go where The Green Grass is greener Greener than before I see the road roll on before me Take me to your door I promise you a new life You don’t know where we’re going Take a look at where we are Trees and skies and we’re all still aching inside Dreamers dreaming, down on the corner singing Green Grass is greener, greener than before I see the road Roll on before me Take me to your door I promise you a new life (It’ll promise you a new life)

Let's Rock 03:54
lyrics

LET’S ROCK By Elizabeth Lee and Luca Gallina Fill up the red plate we pass around we got lunch right after preacher Your pretty dress you don’t wear except for Sunday Your smiles are breaking my bones You turn a blind eye, expect the people to run the way that you walk It’s up or down there’s no right way in the middle, It’s leave or be left behind And I said Ay Yai Yai Yi Come on baby let’s rock Have you ever seen a bird fly, or watched the sunset across a mighty river or seen the face of a man in different colors, which is the cross that you bare? Are they such a disappointment, who comes from love you invited to your party? You shut the door but a candle left a mark there in your water filled veins Ay Yai Yai Yi Come on baby let’s rock Come a little closer and let me whisper some names you might remember Familiar faces and voices that remain there in your mind when you sleep Dreams can turn to nightmares, I always loved you but I never really liked you It makes me laugh that the one who stands above you carried your sister to bed and I said Ay Yai Yai Yi Come on baby let’s rock.

Perdition 03:22
lyrics

Perdition Traveled for miles just to heal your pain Bring you comfort in my simplest of ways Give you tokens from a family gone And all I get from you is all that I done wrong Your words won’t cut me ‘cause I got the light And I ain’t your perdition Flappin’ your mouth like a runaway train Sprinkles of poison dusting everything you say Talking ‘bout God… all the Fire and Brimstone So practice what you preach cause you’re just reepin’ what you sow You ain’t the center of this world and I ain’t your perdition Help me forgive ‘cause I can’t forget You can keep your sorrys cause you don’t regret Open my heart… help me open my mind I know you suffer… I don’t want to be unkind But we don’t seem to share the way I ain’t your perdition Take me back, back to the good old days The feelings I have left for you are fading away Step on a crack, don’t break my back I ain’t your perdition

Heavy Load Here we are now... well the truth be told Been quite a while now, Lord knows I know I been holdin’ onto an empty rope Without you beside me, well what’s the point Pictures ...memories, wrap around me with no release and I don’t complain that there ain’t no peace But without you beside me well I just can’t see And I have done all what, that I can And there is nothing here... to help me understand So I just keep hangin’ on to the air you breathed Without your sweet smile, what is there to believe? Except I’m your Angel and you’re my man And that’s the best… the best I can And now I’m just too tired to keep it on I think I must have just cried a little way too long A little way too long Heavy load …heavy load…heavy load I just can’t carry it no more So God I’m askin’ for your embrace to lead me on to my one escape I think I’m done here and I just can’t wait To be beside him when I awake And you don’t need to cry that I am gone He was the only love I have ever known And I’m going home.. I’m going home We’re just movin on... just movin on I’m your angel and you’re my man I’ll stand beside you the best I can And you don’t worry it was all so planned Yes, I’m your angel and you’re my man.

A VOICELESS CRY They're coming in from the road, now They’re coming in from the road With their dusty eyes And their thirsty souls And their dusty skirts They’re coming in With their joyless eyes Mouths cracked and dried And their burning breath They’re coming in The sound of green footsteps is the rain They’re coming in Hearts old and lined With cracks and sighs And their eyes instead dried river beds All the young girls Brought up on pain And the desert cries They’re coming in The sound of green footsteps is the rain They’re coming in A voiceless cry Will it reach the sky up to heaven? They're coming in from the road, now They’re coming in…

BY AND BY Seems to me the world’s gone crazy And if the world’s gone crazy, wouldn’t I? Seems to me there’s a map on the table Read it if you’re able, says the end is nigh I wish I was an eagle flying high I wish I was the north star in the sky I wish I was a hero ‘Cause we need some kind of hero By and By I got a bird, I got a bluebird baby Whispering maybe, the end is near Will you come, will you come see me? Down by the rose tree where the truth is clear I wish I was a mountain or the tide I wish I was the darkness where you hide I wish I was a hero, God knows we need a hero By and by Seems to me the world’s gone crazy And maybe, just maybe, so am I Seems to me we been looking for a hero when maybe, just maybe, it’s you and I (we’re the ones) We can be the eagle flying high We can be the north star in the sky We can be the heroes, God knows we need a hero, yeah By and By

If I Could See 04:47

IF I COULD SEE If I could see where I could go The unlit paths, three steps more And with your voice you’d lead me on If I could see where I could go, I would be gone If I could hear a wave less shore The gentle sand, your quiet soul And like the wind that lifts the snow If I could hear a waveless shore, then I would go I can see the winding road to Galilee Will it turn the wheel that takes me Home, Galilee If I could hold your lily hands embroidered lace, so sweet a scent I’d keep them wrapped around own If I could hold your lily hands and not let go I can see the winding road to Galilee Will it turn the wheel that takes me Home, Galilee If I could see where I could go This crumbling world of losing hope I’d keep your voice in soft refrain Three steps more I’d go again I can see the winding road to Galilee Will it turn the wheel that takes me Home, Galilee If I could kiss your lips so sweet And linger there forever I’d climb a mountain to swim the sea If I could kiss your lips so sweet And we become one Forever.

Universe 05:01

UNIVERSE SONG Surfed down to the earth this morning Comin’ straight from next to nowhere Interstellar just arrived Got no planet, no horizon Been rowing starry waves Ridin’, smokin’, moonlit rays Roller coastin’ all around Don’t know where I’m really bound for I’m no man of wealth or taste I got no time to waste I know a place where love is first I’m widening on the Universe, yeah Roamin’ through the endless spaces Crowded by the alien natives My track’s a billion freeways of shooting stars in any season I just can’t stop and stay Mindin’, but the mind delays I wonder what I live for Maybe just to leave, nothing more No matter wealth or taste I got no time to waste I know a place where love is first I’m widening on the Universe Starlit bodies melt the city Broken glass that falls like rain on all that was once alive buried in the moonlit sky I just can’t stop and stay Mindin’, but the mind delays I wonder what they live for Maybe just to leave and nothing more No man of wealth or taste I ain’t got no time to waste I know a place where love is first I’m widening on the Universe You see no matter what’s your taste Got no time to waste I know a place where love is first I’m embracing all the Universe… I’m home.
