2) Book of Days

One day, one night, one moment
My dreams could be tomorrow
One step, one fall, one falter
East or west, over earth or by ocean
One way to be my journey
This way could be my book of days
No day, no night, no moment
Can hold me back from trying
I'll fly, I'll fall, I'll falter
I'll find my day may be far and away
Far and away

One day, one night, one moment
With a dream to believe in
One step, one fall, one falter
Finding new day, new heights
New depths in reason
With the senses, keenly opened
Mind and my wings will mend

One day, one night, one moment
Seeing through a sky that's purely blue
And stretches out to forever
Forever calling me

One day, one night, one moment
With a dream to believe in
One step, one fall, one falter
Finding new day, new heights
New depths in reason
With the senses, keenly opened
Mind and my wings will mend

3) Caribbean Blue

Eurus

So the world goes round and round
With all you ever knew

Is Caribbean blue
If every man says all he can
If every man is true
Do I believe the sky above
Is Caribbean blue
Boreas
Zephryus
If all you told was turned to gold
If all you dreamed were new
Imagine sky high above
In Caribbean blue

4) Marble Halls

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
With vassals and serfs at my side
And of all who assembled within those walls
That I was the hope and the pride
I had riches all too great to count
Could boast of a high ancestral name
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me
You loved me still the same
That you loved me
You loved me still the same

I dreamt that suitors sought my hand
That knights upon bended knee
And with vows no maiden's heart could withstand
They pledged their faith to me
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
Came forth my hand to claim
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me
You loved me still the same
That you loved me
You loved me still the same

5) May It Be

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now

6) Only Time

Who can say where the road 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

7) Shepherd Moons

Eurus
Afer Ventus

So the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew
They say the sky high above
Is Caribbean blue ...

If every man says all he can,
If every man is true,
Do I believe the sky above
Is Caribbean blue ...

... Boreas ...
... Zephryus ...

If all you told was turned to gold,
If all you dreamed were new,
Imagine sky high above
In Caribbean blue ...

... Eurus...
Afer Ventus ...

8) The Memory of Trees

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
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
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
I wonder if the stars sign
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light 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
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
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.

9) Watermark

Cursum perficio.
Verbum sapienti:
Quo plus habent,
Eo plus cupiunt.
Post nubila, Phoebus.
Iternum.
Carpe diem, vita brevis.
Gloria perpetua.
