BEYOND AND BEFORE
Sparkling trees of Silver foam

cast shadows soft in winter's home

Swaying branches breaking sound

In lonely forests trembling ground.

Masquerading leaves of blue

Run circles round the morning dew

In patterns understood by you

Reaching out beyond and before

Time like gold dust brings mind down

To levels hidden underground

Say a few words to the wind

That's all thats left of winters friend.

Reaching the snow

In the days of the cold

Casting a Spell out of Ice

Now that your gone

the summers too long

and it seems like the end of my life

Beyond and before

Sparkling trees of Silver foam
cast shadows soft in winter's home
Swaying branches breaking sound
In lonely forests trembling ground. Masquerading leaves of blue
Run circles round the morning dew
In patterns understood by you
Reaching out beyond and before

Reaching the snow
In the days of the cold
Casting a Spell out of Ice
Now that your gone
the summers too long
and it seems like the end of my life
Beyond and before

Time like gold dust brings mind down

Time like gold dust brings mind down

I SEE YOU

I see you la la la la la la la la la I see you

I see you la la la la la la la la la I see you

I see you la la la la la la la la la I see you

Sun smiling sun through the cave of your hair

Wind washing tulips out of space sitting there

I love you

At your door second floor first world war

Who listens

tell your friend I'm aware that she care

Green specks bright spiraling out in the sky

catch my eye turn my head have to look don't know why

I see you

Everywhere behind your hair over there

I see you

I see you though your eyes can tell lies I sympathize,

I see you

Sun smiling sun through the cave of your hair

Wind washing tulips out of space sitting there

Everywhere behind your hair over there

I see you

I love you at your door second floor first world war

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

YESTERDAY AND TODAY

Why is there you when there are few people around making me feel good?
Why is there me when air is free, some I can see better than I should?
There's only us simply because thinking of us makes us both happy.
I think of you ev'ry way, yesterday and today.
I think of things that we do, all the way, ev'ry day.

Stand in the sea, sing songs for me, sing happily, making me feel good.
Watching your eyes, feeling your sighs, saying goodbyes better than I could.
There's only us simply because thinking of us makes us both happy.
I think of you ev'ry way, yesterday and today.

I think of nothing but you, things we do, things we do

LOOKING AROUND

Looking around me

There's not so much in life that I miss

Things that I can't see

I'll touch and I'll feel then I'll kiss

Then I saw you standing there

With a smile I couldn't share

Just looking around, everywhere.

Tunes that I can't hear,

would take me for a while my smile

Fares that are too dear

I'd rather walk out another smile

Then I heard a tune so right

It was in the light of night

just listening around everywhere

All the things I've wanted to do

take so much time to get around to you

just reach out and catch and hold on

having trails of dust and lust

but never even lying or trying

just keep on moving and never dying.

Smiles that I don't see

I'll make them up as I go on

Laughs that just can't be

I'll make and laugh at everyone

Then I saw you in your place

with a laugh upon your face

Just looking around everywhere

All the things I've wanted to do
take so much time to get around to you
just reach out and catch and hold on
having trails of dust and lust
but never even lying or trying
just keep on moving and never dying.

Looking around with my feet on the ground full of words and of sound bring smiles all around

Satisfy me with your words that can be full of sound and I'll see I'm just looking around

HAROLD LAND
Harold Land with a wave of his hand, said goodbye to all that,

He paid his bills, stopped the Milk, and then put on his hat,

He tried to say his last farewells as quickly as he could,

Promising that he would return, but doubted that he would,

doubted that he would.

Now he's marching soldiers in the rain

as on to war they rode.

A long thin line of human mind,

damnation as their load!

In the mud in coldness dark he'd shiver out his fear,

What disappointing sights he'd seen instead of one's so dear

instead of one's so dear

Going home,

He's going home to the land he loved so well,

Going home, he fought for two whole years he never fell,

He's going home, He's going home.

Harold Land with a wave of his hand stood sadly on the stage,

Clutching red ribbons from a badge but he didn't look his age,

only two years had passed between his leaving home and back,

He had lost his love and youth while leading the attack

Leading the attack

In conversation it could be said,

Well after war your heart is dead,

Well it's not hard to understand,

There is no heart in Harold Land.

EVERY LITTLE THING

When I'm walking beside her,

people tell me I'm lucky

Yes I know I'm a lucky guy

I remember the first time

I was lonely without her

can't stop thinking about her now

Every little thing she does

she does for me yeah

and you know the things she does

she does for me

When I'm with her I'm happy

Just to know that she loves me

Yes I know that she love me now

there is one thing I am sure of

I will love her forever
‘cause I know love will never die
Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me

Every little thing she does

She does for me, yeah

And you know the things she does

She does for me

When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes I know that she love me now
there is one thing I am sure of
I will love her forever

‘cause I know love will never die

Every little thing she does

She does for me, yeah

And you know the things she does

She does for me

Every little thing, Every little thing,
Every little thing, Every little thing.

SWEETNESS
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for my moods and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside
and when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide
Today she bought me in and told me where she'd been
She put my mind at rest and put the sweetness in
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way.
Tell me how would you feel with no world of your own
and nobody to hold, I just can't see the way
I'm so glad it's today and you're here.
You're here

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for my moods and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way.

Oh how I need her so,
I know she'll never go. Doo doo doo doot n doo.
She'll never leave me, believe me, no. Doo doo doo doot n doo.
She'll never go, no no no no no no no no no no no no

SURVIVAL
Sunshine is creeping in and somewhere in a field a life begins,
An egg too proud to rape the beginning of a shape of things to come,
That starts the run, life has begun, fly fast the gun.
The Mother flew too late and life within the egg was left to fate,
not really knowing how the world outside would take it when it came,
and life's the same for things we aim, are we to blame?
Don't doubt the fact that there's life within you,
yesterday's endings will tomorrow's life give you,
all that dies, dies for a reason,
to put its strength into the Season,
Survival, Survival,
They take away and they give,
The livings right to live,
the livings right to know.
The egg breaks all is out, the crawling bird begins to scream and shout,
Where is the parent bird, a loneliness arose and heard its name-ring in for life begins, survival win, survivals sin.
So soon the evening comes with it runs the achingfear of hate
Could someone still remain who thinks hestill could gain by escaping fate? it's much too late,don't underrate, appreciate.
Don’t doubt the fact there's life within you
Yesterday’s endings will tomorrow life give you
All that dies
Dies for a reason
To put its strength into the seasons
Survival,
Survival
They take away and they give
The living’s right to live (its all that we need to give)
The living’s right to know
And we're all going
And we're all going
And we're all going somewhere!
