Lilac Land
The morning so sweet has a way of disappearing
That moment is lost to the day
The truth I believed has a way of interfering
With what I find I must say
My heart is now broken
And I fear we've run out of time
The new growth of spring comes alive in such profusion
I don't even mind when blossoms fall
Your voice on the phone, it fills me with confusion
I don't even want you to call
My heart is now broken
And we, we've run out of time
the well
And the spell it was broken
And I saw with my own eyes
I never knew that the water could rise so very high
There was a time I remember
There was a time it was otherwise
There was a time that the water didn't rise and rise
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
I never learned to turn my boat
into the waves to survive
I let the cruel,cruel water just rise and rise
Was there a time,can I remember?
Was there a time when it was otherwise?
Was there a time that the water didn't rise so very high?
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
But the wide open water leads to the sea
The wide open water can set you free
On the Aventine Hill 在阿文提诺山上
Cheap champagne instead of rain香槟如雨
A saffron dream come what will做一个番红花的梦
The birds that sing in the middle of the night夜莺歌唱
While the roses bloom on the hill在玫瑰盛开的山上
Peace within and the traffics outside远离尘嚣,这里宁静如水
The markets closed集市已散
The day we sing in the middle of the night那个我们歌唱的午夜
While the roses bloom玫瑰盛开
A lightning storm to keep you warm雷雨天气让你感觉温暖
Yellow light standing still黄光闪亮夜空
The birds that sing in the middle of the night夜莺歌唱
While the roses bloom on the hill在玫瑰盛开的山上
Peace within and the traffics outside远离尘嚣,这里宁静如水
The markets closed集市已散
The day we sing in the middle of the night那个我们歌唱的午夜
While the roses bloom玫瑰盛开
On the Aventine在阿文提诺
On the Aventine Hill在阿文提诺山上
within these walls
When I hold my hand above the flame
When I hold my breath beneath the wave
Come to me, find me there
Come save me, find me there
All I have is you
In this world too unkind
In this place too cold
In this night that is too long
When I lose sight of what is real
When I can't escape the way I feel
Come to me, find me there
Come save me, find me there
All I have is you
In this world too unkind
In this place too cold
In this night that is too long
In this world too unkind
In this place too cold
In this night that is too long
Red flower
Dear friend,you've lost your center
And cannot find the rhyme
That makes you whole
We can try to tell you
What you already know
But it's not for the telling
It's what you hold and let go
It's when the words come easy
They disappear
What's near is all you know
I can try to tell you
About the ebb and flow
But it's not for the telling
It's what you hold and let go
Let it float back to you,to your waiting hands
Red flower,floating back
Stars Never Fade
The world through your eyes looks so elegant
That perfect slanting light,the satin gowns
Could it really be such a place of harmony?
And the stars glitter off your walls
And your stars never fade at all
The moment is caught,saved forever
That gaze in the glass,the shadowed room
Could it really be or is it trick photography?
And the stars glitter off your walls
And your stars never fade at all
Your daughters are there,full of tenderness
That introspective look you know so well
Could it really be such a happy family?
And the stars glitter off your walls
And your stars never fade at all
A Silver Thread
A silver thread so fine, weaves through our shared days
Is this all we have, this moment so fine?
Will the wind still blow after you have gone?
It's so fragile, it breaks before you know
How I wish for a way not to lose it all
How can I save this moment so fine?
Will the wind still blow after you have gone?
The Turnaround
Up all night, just to feel the breeze
An attic room closed for centuries
The turnaround, the change of key
The open door, you gave to me
A dusty book with tipped-in plates
Brushes dipped in fresh white paint
The turnaround, the change of key
The open door, you gave to me
An open door might lead you
A million miles away
But this heart will stay
Beside you, beside you, beside you
Cruel Queen
The queen she divides her land into three
She is as cruel as she wants to be
Many an hour she sits there all alone
All alone, but always thinking
Which of my children loves me the best?
I'll give them everything, leave none to the rest
I'll give them all my land and my jewels too
But my love, none shall have it
Mother, dear mother, you've done me great wrong
You married me when I was far too young
The man was rich, but he left me with a child
I need your gold to feed him
Daughter, dear daughter, I've done you no wrong
I married you to a great lord's son
Find a new man for when I'm dead and gone
As for gold, I'll give you nothing
Mother, dear mother, if you see fit
Grant me your kingdom and I'll watch over it
I will rule your land as you would yourself
For I am most like you
Daughter, dear daughter, no, I don't see fit
To give you my land, you'll have none of it
Your words offend me for how could you presume
That you could rule as I do?
Which of my children loves me the best?
I'll give them everything, leave none to the rest
I'll give them all my land and my jewels too
But my love, none shall have it
Mother, dear mother, I do not want your land
I don't want your riches, nor jewels on my hand
My request is simple, it's every child's desire
I only want your blessing
Daughter, dear daughter, you're nothing but a fool
This world is governed by one and only rule
I will die with all my land and my jewels too
And my love, none shall have it
