backroads

we’re takin’ backroads, gonna get there slowly
when the day comes, we’ll be ready
you’re gonna wish you were here if you’re not here yet...
come on, my love
come into the question with me
we’re here and it makes no sense if we’re not here for each other
all the snails come out in the rain
birds are silent from the car
smells go past we can’t snap their photographs, nor a shooting star
we’re here and it makes no sense if we’re not here for each other
you’re gonna wish you were here if you’re not here yet…
Slow down, my love
slow into this tension with me
we’re here and it makes no sense if we’re not here for each other
ways a mountain speaks to future lovers
little wild blueberries and silent mothers
comin’ down on the dark moon, almost fell twice but instead i swooned
we’re here and it makes no sense if we’re not here for each other
you’re gonna wish you were here if you’re not here yet...

coyote eyes

i went down to the hidden grove, where it is nobody knows, no
what I found was a hidden tree, with a hole that held me within its core
little stairs inside that safe, up and down I chose my game, and I continue
center folded into hands, so when we touch I understand what continues
up a branch into coyote eyes -- there I am in two coyote eyes
wah oh, wah oh!
then night falls, as all things do
the path goes forward, our walk is true
feet on sand and hand in yours
it must be late, but we must explore
what would i find behind those stars?
a chest of brambles and a clear heart
and on these rocks, made of moon
i weave new light upon ancient loom
well it’s been found this weave is all
for what’s been woven will fall
so don’t go frozen, my fiery friend
lift the sky with me again
wah oh, wah oh!

hemşin yaylalarina
yattum uyuyemedum oy
aradum sevduğumi
daha dayanemedum oy
yaz gelince yeşiller
sari eruk dallari oy
sevduğum nerde kaldun
hep gözlerum yollari oy
hemşin yaylalarina
gidilur mi karadan oy
artuk kavuştur bizi
yeri göği yaradan oy
hemşin yaylalarina
yattum uyuyemedum oy
aradum sevduğumi
daha dayanemedum oy

wah uh oh, wah uh oh
wah uh oh, wah uh oh
wanted things to be sad, but they weren’t, no, they’re not so bad
wanted things to be scary, but i’m over it now
i can fly here, i can fly here, whoa
i can fly here, i can fly here, whoa
Sometimes a girl’s just got to find her way
ain’t no guarantee it’ll be in a given range
she may pull, she may buck, she may not give a cluck
and when she does, ooh
wah uh oh, wah uh oh
wah uh oh, wah uh oh
i can fly here, i can fly here, whoa
i can fly here, i can fly here, whoa
siva siva sambo
siva siva sambo
mahadeva sambo
mahadeva sambo
here is to the death of all the traps that stifle truth
death to the illusion that we must ever part from youth
we are all, each of us, expressions of the infinite
brothers and sisters, wake up and see your part in it
wah uh oh, wah uh oh
wah uh oh, wah uh oh
i can fly here, i can fly here, whoa
i can fly here, i can fly here, whoa

made of heart
04:06

lose yourself in the light you are
come home to the place you thought you were so far from
and if you find yourself, I wouldn’t be surprised
these secret loopholes are the feelin’ of bein’ alive
so look in, look out, for the truth
lose yourself in the light you see
lose all your thoughts about what it was and what it could be
and if you lose your mind, well, you still got your heart
that’s the subtle art of knowing what you are a part of
sooner or later you will find
the separation’s in your mind
and if you want to feel alive
the difference is what you leave behind
so look in, look out, for the truth
lose yourself in the light you know
lose all your thoughts about where you’ve been or where you would go
if you could find yourself and keep all the parts
that’s the trouble with discovering, you were only made of heart
so look in, look out, for the truth

already there

i will meet you in the land where nothing changes
we are already there, no need for rearrangements
do not worry once my friend, it’s sure we’ll meet again
don’t believe those fairytales about separation
unfold the mystery of your heart, there is a precious seed planted in that darkness
i will meet you in the land where nothing changes
we are already there, no need for rearrangements
there is nothing meant to be that does not exist
if you don’t like your reality, it might need a kiss
be the change by loving what is
be the change be in love that we exist be it
a lover, your job, or a car
be here now, there is nothing else, no matter how far
you go, you far, you go in, you go to the stars
it is all a circle, all the same if we give permission
to ourselves to be
to yourself to be
unfold the mystery of your heart, there is a precious seed planted in that darkness
i will meet you in the land where nothing changes
we are already there, no need for rearrangements

tell me

tell me, how is it i know this is a blessing?
there's no pressing on, i only take what comes
i am calm after, right before
no fear of no form
tell me, how can they know what no one can?
quiet secret of soul, go exposed because it is impossible
to keep the all of it in mind, to keep the all of it in mind, keep the all of it in mind, all of it in mind
moment ripples out, dangerous in its perfection
if we choose to see it that way, changing
slide by slide by mind's eye
switch your filter, take it out
sister brother, share your doubts
let your mother hold you as her sacred soil
plant a new seed
letting be what you see, letting be all your needs
tell me, how is it i know this is a blessing?
there's no pressing on, i only take what comes
i am calm after, right before
no fear of no form
tell me, how is it you know just what to do?
where to put the next footstep, or does it only seem that way?
we are born every moment new,
we are born every moment new...
letting be what you see, letting be all your needs
letting be, letting be...
tell me, how is it i know this is a blessing?
there's no pressing on, i only take what comes
i am calm after, right before
no fear of no form
