Clear Blue Skies

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

In the morning I walk to clear my mind but it just doesn’t work this time
‘Cause I can’t apply and I’m easily led by the different playmates in my head
In the daytime clouding up the skies are things to do, things to try, hills to climb
Hurts to mend, sometimes sleep’s my only friend

But in the evening when I close my eyes, nothing only clear blue skies
And I can see for miles and miles to the other side of confusion

In the sleepy afternoon all I do is sit around and think of you
I know there should be more but I can’t get my mind up off the floor
The middle of the road radio plays a special request for Mary Jo
In the every day I’m up to my eyes. Am I half dead or half alive?

But in the evening when I close my eyes, nothing only clear blue skies
And I can see for miles and miles to the other side of confusion

I sink into the night where the peace of dreams covers me

In the evening when I close my eyes, nothing only clear blue skies
And I can see for miles and miles to the other side of confusion.

(what on earth am I to do? Can’t do much else but think of you (x4)

Eleanor October

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

You can make me crazy, you can make me high
How did I get so lucky? I can’t believe you’re mine
I’ve a feeling you were here before somewhere before my time

Eleanor October you’re a real good friend of mine
Little blue forget-me-not, sunny celandine
You’re the little star of evening. You’re miss Rise and Shine

You’re dancing in the doorway, bouncing off the walls
You trip the light fantastic and you’re laughing as you fall
You’ll go lightly through the world, try to understand it all

Eleanor October……

When everything is upside down you know what to say
Only you can save the day
You’re riding to the rescue, you try to take the hill
Sometimes it seems impossible but I always know you will
And I love you when you’re angry and I love you when you’re still
CHORUS: Eleanor October…

Sea Of Hearts

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

Another Saturday night and you’re dressed up to the nines
Get there just before the midnight rush comes down
You step in to the flashing lights, beats pulsing in your blood
Everybody’s an actor, everybody’s trying to be cool.

Feel your body taken over by the beats
Move to the rhythm of the longing and the heat
You feel like you’re having fun but you’re really marking time
Secretly searching to catch that someone’s eye

And oh don’t you know this could be the night, the start of something fine
Love could find us on a crowded dancefloor when the music quietens down

The night’s getting older still he hasn’t made his move
Suddenly his hand’s in your’s, he leads you to the floor
You’re swaying in a sea of hearts all reaching out for love
Could this be the night, the night you’re dreaming of?
Could this be the night, the night you’re dreaming of?

The In Between

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

The evening station’s quiet like it’s resting
Red and orange creep along the track
The light is falling petals in the park
The city’s waiting for the dark

But here in the In-Between it’s all possible it seems
As creation holds it’s breath
Light itself suspended in between two worlds
On one hand life on one hand death

Every barroom, every corner
There are people trying to believe
And young girls with their babies know there were carefree days
They try hard to retrieve from their memories

But here in the In-Between….

Deep inside the shadows grace is waiting
To descend like tongues of fire on those who love
Faith and hope rewarded, given shelter from the storm
Below is twining with above

And here in the In-Between….

The Sign

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

As you go by you reach and touch the Snips ‘n’ Style sign
Your spreading fingertips so fine, spreading fingertips so fine

In another time we sat amongst the music and the wine
And you sat staring straight to me, you sat staring straight to me

But I was shy. I couldn’t look too long into your eyes
But I heard what you were saying alright, I heard what you were saying alright

I didn’t answer back because my life was on a different track
Too aligned to make another pact, too aligned to make another pact

So I let you go, wondering at how little you did know
Of what could come and what could grow, what could come and what could grow

I see you in my dreams where everything’s as easy as can be
And in those dark hallways where we meet there are kisses long and kisses deep

And what I need the most is to slip into that moment like a ghost
And this time maybe I’d show that sign, this time….maybe.

Little Fingers

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

Sunday morning mission bell, ringing out redemption
Calling, calling. Listen
It’s ringing in the winds that blow, can’t you hear the chime?
With love like little fingers tapping out the time

Belladonna, dark red tongue, ringing out redemption
Calling, calling. Listen.
It’s ringing in the winds that blow, can’t you hear the chime?
With love like little fingers tapping out the time

Lark of angels, heavensong, and it’s ringing out redemption
Calling, calling. Listen.
It’s ringing in the winds that blow, can’t you hear the chime?
With love like little fingers tapping out the time.

Shadowland

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

There are nights when I lie on my pillow awake
And my heart is aching for something I don’t know
I am more than willing to pull my weight.
I don’t rely on fate to get me something I can earn
I left my land behind and now I find it’s not the kind of life that I had hoped

Won’t you help me leave this shadowland
Help me leave this shadowland
This new frontier, this new frontier is a shadowland

I did not expect an instant home sweet home
A song, a sweet love poem, no icing on the cake
I just wanted to work real hard and make a life.
I’m on the edge of a knife, hands tied behind my back
And I feel so let down with all these walls around.
I want to reach the higher ground where the air is fresh and clean

Help me leave this shadowland
Help me leave this shadowland
This new frontier, this new frontier is a shadowland

Look at the face before you with open eyes.
Underneath the open skies we’re all turning towards the sun
And the light from the heavens is pouring down on every field, on every town to dispel the shadow way
Come on now cut some slack. Come on don’t turn your back
Come on step up to the mark and keep an open mind

Come on and leave this shadowland
Come on and leave this shadowland
This new frontier, this new frontier needs no shadowland

Groove Around The World

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

Gonna wrap a groove around the world, Gonna wrap a groove around the world
Cause there’s gotta be a groove around the world

Well we won’t be needing Gothic, the project needs some light
And people who are ready for extraordinary flight
We need the wisdom of the ancients, we need the men who walked the moon
And all the people who believe the start is coming soon

Cause we’re gonna wrap a groove around the world, Gonna wrap a groove around the world
Cause there’s gotta be a groove around the world

We’ll groove from the Himalayas, around the Cape of Dreams
From the North Pole to the Southern Cross and all points in between
Cause there’s gonna be a groove around the world, gonna wrap a groove around the world
Cause there’s gotta be a groove around the world

And what will be the net result of the grooving of the world?
A new-improved-all-in-experience for every boy and girl

Cause we’re gonna wrap a groove around the world, Gonna wrap a groove around the world
Cause there’s gotta be a groove around the world. There’s gotta be a groove around the world
around the world, around the world, around the world

Rules Of Love

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

Nice and easy, cool and slow. That’s how you told me it had to go
Don’t get too close too soon. It’s a passion play to you
You love me I’m assured but you need lots of room to be yourself
And have some fun
Still I’m your no. 1

You think you know the rules of love (X3)
Well I believe you can’t rule love

You come on hot and then so cold. You’re keeping me on hold
You want it watered down into the ghost of something good
I lie awake in the middle of the night, the fears you planted gripping me tight
With 20/20 vision and second sight in your eyes I might do right

You think you know the rules of love (x3)
Well I believe you can’t rule love

You know you think that you’re in charge, but you’re just messing with your heart
And it’s all under control but you’re destroying love’s sweet soul

After All Was Cast Away

(cop. con. Mary Greene)

Now as days and days have gone
Here is what it comes to now –
Empty rooms up and down, living in a liquid town
Where pride and lonliness collide

After all was cast away
Found some means to numb the pain
Still I hear that voice again
Through the turning of the days…you

Can I forgive so great a sin?
Was it mine or was it your’s?
Not seeing where one starts, where one ends
That’s what hindered me the most
So I stumble on and on

After all was cast away
Found some means to numb the pain
Still I hear that voice again
Through the turning of the days…you

‘Answer this before I go’, comes a question from my heart
‘Do you hear the small voice of regret? Can you turn the tide
to goodness now? Salvage much that’s close to lost?’

Like it now or like it not
We were once a union fine
Can I admit the part I played in driving such a thing away
you may be gone but this remains-

After all was cast away
Found some means to numb the pain
Still I hear that voice again
Through the turning of the days…you
