I Did it All For You

How can you break my heart in two?
When I thought that I was through
With the lack, the need, the game
How can I come to rest again
Funny when old friends come across
Bringing back all there needs there lost
And so, the daunting hold of time
How can you be mine?
I miss when I could fly
I walk this earth for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
I miss when I could fly
I walk this earth for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
The strength we gain, the hope we lost
The fight we fight, the battle cross
The fun we lived; the pain the gain
How can I come to rest again
Funny when old friends come across
Bringing back all there needs there lost
And so, the daunting hold of time
How can you be mine?
I miss when I could fly
I walk this earth for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
I miss when I could fly
I walk this earth for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
Tonight, the dread-full spell I cast
And set us whole and free at last
Let's dance the dance that old friends do
The August danse du mois d'août
What did you say ma belle amie?
Now that you are free you come to me
Funny when old friends come across
And so do the daunting hold of time
I miss when I could fly
I walk this earth for you
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
I miss when I could fly
I miss when I could fly
I did it all for you
I did it all for you

A Dream Within A Dream
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting from now
Thus much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream
Yet if hope as flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none.
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
All but a dream within a dream
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
How few; Yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep;
While I weep... While I weep
Is that all we see or seam
Is but a dream within a dream
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! Can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Lobo solitario in Mexico…
Lobo solitario in Mexico…

A Summers Walk in Maine
04:05
|

Blue was the color of her shoes
The fragrance of the rain
On a summer walk in Maine
Juniper berries colored blue
Golden eagle passing trough
As the pine whispered her name
Would I ever meet someone like you
I pondered
In this lifetime or another
I wondered, I wondered, I wondered
Come back to me my lost twin soul
In my spirit there's a hole…
In my spirit there's a hole…
In my spirit there's a hole…
Blue is the color of my vein
As her ghost dance in the plains
While I whisper this refrain
Would I have lived my life in vain
Have I not taken the plane
For a summer walk in Maine
Would I ever meet someone like you
I pondered
In this lifetime or another
I wondered, I wondered, I wondered
Come back to me my lost twin soul
In my spirit there's a hole…
In my spirit there's a hole…
In my spirit there's a hole…
Can you speak of better days
Mighty Greeks and Kings of Spain
When two souls are the same
Has we both departed ways
I recall a hurricane
As the pines howled her name
Would I ever meet someone like you
I pondered
In this lifetime or another
I wondered, I wondered, I wondered
Come back to me my lost twin soul
In my spirit there's a hole…
In my spirit there's a hole…
In my spirit there's a hole…
Blue was the color of her shoes
The fragrance of the rain
On a summer walk in Maine
Juniper berries colored blue
Golden eagle passing through
As the pine whispered her name
Blue was the color of her shoes
The fragrance of the rain
On a summer walk in Maine
Juniper berries colored blue
Golden eagle passing through
As the pine whispered her name

Blue Jay

Crowded places all the same : predictable
Funny folks who play the game : laughable
The sacred mention of your name : adorable
Heavenly feelings, who is to blame : unconditional
Elated fire in my heart
All to do with worlds apart
If you fall and look for blame
I will love you just the same
Once I heard trough fallen grace
Angels love you and embrace
Despite your frown and your disgrace
Your birthplace or your race
Merely swindlers mass astray : predictable
Sheepish men hoarded and slay : laughable
A holy walk with you in May : adorable
Two elevated soul's cliché : unconditional
When the storm of wintry days
Throws our love into a maze
You will fall and look for blame
But I will love you just the same
Chiming blissful melody
Aureoles your company
While I keep my hurt at bay
As I hear the Blue Jay
When the storm of wintry days
Throws our love into a maze
You will fall and look for blame
But I will love you just the same
Chiming blissful melody
Aureoles your company
While I keep my hurt at bay
As I hear the Blue Jay
As I hear the Blue Jay
As I hear the Blue Jay

Mermaid's Song
03:29

Once I met a mermaid from a Nova Scotia Bay
On a lonesome lonely shoreline, she looked upon my way
Can I tell you of the fire and heavenly desire?
When I saw behold and perfect, a deep longing I have craved, craved, craved…
Chorus
She’s heading to the water, and she is never looking back
She’s heading to the water, and she is never holding back
She’s diving in the water, and she is never coming back
When I think of Andrea
When I think of Andrea
When I think of Andrea
Surly I have seen attractive souls along the way
Which kept my boat from sinking a little more each day
But when many thoughts of her went flowing to my brain
Each day for ever more, I call her name in vain, in vain, vain…
Chorus
Suddenly I woke up! It is nothing but a dream
And still full of passion and longing for a Queen
Now my focus and my drive are to never lose the touch
Of the women who completes me, the one I have loved so much, much, much…
Chorus
Surly I have seen attractive souls along the way
Which kept my boat from sinking a little more each day
But when many thoughts of her went flowing to my brain
Each day for ever more, I call her name in vain, in vain, vain…
Chorus

Hola hola Valy! ...Hola hola Valy!
Even today I recall above all
The spirit of fairies dancing for me
Angels and god bounce to this little girl
Who hold in her hand this beautiful world
Hola hola Valy! ...Hola hola Valy!
I have witness the birth
Of the happiest time
When the stars and the earth
Join in symphony
She dances and sings
Round and round up and down
With mermaids and dolphins, rainbows and bees
Hola hola Valy! ...Hola hola Valy!
On a warm summer day
I have witness the play
Of a brightful beam
Through this pandemic dream
Contemplate sultans
And notice the smile
The grace and the light
Of this heavenly child
Hola hola Valy! ...Hola hola Valy!
Even today I recall above all
The spirit of fairies dancing for me
Angels and Gods bows to this little girl
Who hold in her hand this beautiful world
Hola hola Valy! ...Hola hola Valy!

Tyger Tyger, burning bright;
In the forest of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame your fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of your eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of your heart?
And when your heart began to beat.
What dread hand? What dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain,
In what furnace was your brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And water’d heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger, burning bright;
In the forest of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of your eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of your heart?
And when your heart began to beat.
What dread hand? What dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain,
In what furnace was your brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And water’d heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger, burning bright;
In the forest of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?
Dare frame your fearful symmetry?

Amore
04:06

I put my pirate patch on
My double vision is gone
I left the shore to sail away
With thousand crows in disarray
plenty of rum needless to say
Chorus
And she calls it Amore...Amore
And she calls it Amore....Amore
She leaves the house slamming the door
A few days past she asks for more
Withholding sex to get her way
Calling back casually the next day
Chorus
She holds me broken in her keep
I mighty dragon, in her beak
When midnight strike she's fast asleep
And there beside her I am her sheep
Chorus
When I think that all is well
She mesmerizes me with a spell
For all the guilt in which I dwell
My Phoenix wings I cannot soar
Chorus
It's great to see the sun still shine
With ivory gold it brings to mind
Freedom, jade, gold and green
Until upset she intervene
Chorus
With millions stars I see away
Breaking the waves I must obey
My longing heart wanting for more
Lord then at last I see the shore
Chorus
I put my pirate patch on
My double vision is gone
I left the shore to sail away
With thousand crows in disarray
Plenty of rum needless to say
Chorus

I miss you Izzi
And if that’s all right
I miss you Izzi
And if that’s all right
I want you Izzi
you are my shining light
I feel you Izzi
Trust me when I say
I love you Izzi
You are the love of my day
When lovers come apart
Their hearts grow fonder
Time without each other
Makes us stronger
I miss you Izzi
comely hold me tight
I want you Izzi
Let's walk this stormy night
I need you Izzi
Hold my hand and say
I love you Izzi
You are the love of my day
When lovers come apart
Their hearts grow fonder
Time without each other
Makes us stronger
I love you passionately
And that's o.k
Cause we fly high enough to know
That there is nothing left to see
But the feeling that we have you and me
Oh! The taste of your lips
The warmth of your touch
The sound of your voice
The perfume of your body
When lovers come apart
Their hearts grow fonder
Time without each other
Makes us stronger
