Valley to Mountainside
Valley to mountainside
high up and look down at
sea salt to ozone and
fly out and don’t look back
Valley to mountainside
climb up and
look out and
tumble back down
Valley to mountainside
high up and look down at
sea salt to ozone and
fly out and don’t look back
Valley to mountainside
climb up and
fly out and
Don’t look back

Staying in, looking out
Looking back, moving on,
Looking in, staying out
Moving back, staying in
Leave no trace, take no more

Paqaratz in the city and they’re gnawin’ at each other
Gonna round ‘em up and send ‘em off and bring in another
Paqaratz in the cabinet what we gonna do
Gonna pick ‘em up and pack ‘em off and bring in a new
Paqaratz in the city and they’re getting in a stew
There’s a sage in the gallery takin’ in the view
And the Doc’s in the science lab cookin’ up a brew
And the rats in the cabinet are jumpin’ at each other
Gonna pick ‘em up and pack ‘em off and bring in another

Sun, stand still, fires burn, I will swim in waters that shine, and flow towards the rising sun
Sun, stand high, and long, come dance through the waves, and hear the song that heralds the dawn
Sun, stand still, fires burn, I will herald the dawn

Princess Julia

Look at me I’m Julia, this is my tiara
Place it gently on my brow, brush my hair to one side
Here I come I’m Julia, walking like a princess
Very softly spoken, talking like a princess
Look at me I’m Julia, my dress is like a ballgown
Chiffon and taffeta, crinkles when I spin round
Let me in I’m Julia, you know who my mother is?
I know who my father is, my birth right, I know it is
Julia sashays down the hall
Julia flies like a swan
Julia stands by the wall
Everyone knows she’s the one
Everyone knows she’s the swan, she’s the one
She’s Julia the princess, stepping through the old town
Don’t think she doesn’t know, you’re wishing her to fall down
Fall down, fall down
Julia the princess get up and beat it, Julia the princess , have your cake and eat it

Shadowland
03:04
|

|
When the ship comes in and the moon looks down
Let’s raise a glass a glass to the sound of the sea
As the waves go dancing over the sand
And I catch my breath and raise my hand
To the warm wind blowing across the bay
Over the hills and far away
So raise a glass as the night comes in
And steal a kiss in the shadowland

The Stonemason's Dream
03:37
|
|||
|
The master mason studies the bare ground and sees the sacred building of his children's future
His grandchildren’s house of prayer
His great grandchildren’s sanctuary
The master mason peers at the rock face and the quire rises up before him
He stumbles over a rock fall and the nave emerges from the stones
He spots a cairn, and the transept appears before his eyes
Crosses a quarry and a tower materialises in the air
The master mason hears the bells ring out loud and clear against the exposed precipice
The master mason looks at a pile of stones and sees a cathedral
Rock by rock in a lifetime the foundations take form
Stone by stone a lifetime more to carve the arches
To raise the beams, shape the vaults, set the gallery
He won’t see it finished
But he knows
That this magnificent cathedral will live and breathe for generations thereafter
That this green and blue planet will live and breathe for generations thereafter
The visionary forester catches a spinning seed as it flies by
She sees a mighty sycamore stand up tall
The forester stakes a lone beech sapling
And the dappled light of the future woodland flickers in her eye
She gathers a handful of acorns and an ancient oak wood grows high up before her
Season by season, little by little the foliage becomes dense, and the forest deepens
She won’t see it mature
But she knows
That this green and blue planet will live and breathe for generations henceforth
Rivers will flow clean and clear
Oceans will teem with life
The air will be fresh and pure
Daylight clear and luminous
The night sky shimmering with planets
Afar
