[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 502, member: 1"] [B]Going for the One[/B] (anderson) Get the idea cross around the track Underneath the flank of thoroughbred racing chasers. Getting the feel as a river flows. Would youlike to go 'n shoot the mountain masses? And here you stand no taller than the grass sees. And should you really chase so hard. The truth of sport plays rings around you. Going for the one Going for the one Get in the way as the tons of water Racing with you crashing thru the rudder. Once at the start you can gamble That you really surely really mean to finish. After seeing all your sense of fear diminish. As you treat danger a pure collection. As you throw away misconceptions. Going for the one. Going for the one. Going for a Listen in time Taken so high To touch to move Listen to life Touching touch time Travel twilight Taken so high. Roundabout, sounding out, love you so Love you so Love you so Now the verses I've sang Don't add much weight to the story in my head So I'm thinking I should go and write a punch line. But they're so hard to find In my cosmic mind So I think I'll take a look out of the window. When I think about you I don't feel low. N'should I really chase so hard. The truth of sport plays rings around you. Going for the one. Going for the one. Going for to Listen in time Taken so high To touch to move Listen to life Touching touch time Travel twilight Taken so high Taking your time Turn on to love Turnstile to one Tender timing Rocking rolling Listen in time Taken so high To touch to move Listen to life Touching touchtime Travel twilight Taken so high Taking your time Turn on to love Turnstile to one Tender timing Rocking rolling Turn on to love Turnstile to one Tender timing Rocking rolling Moments decide. Moments delight. Moments in flight. Talk about sending love. [B]Turn of the Century[/B] Realising a form out of stone. Set hands moving. Roan shaped his heart Thru his working hands. Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun. In his room, his lady She would dance and sing so completely. So be still he now cries I have time, oh let clay transform thee so. In the deep cold of night Winter calls, he cries 'don't deny me!' For his lady, deep her illness. Time has caught her And will for all reasons take her. In the still light of dawn, she dies. Helpless hands soul revealing. Like leaves we touch we learn. We once knew the story. As winter calls he will starve. All but to see the stone be life Now roan, no more tears. Set to work his strength. So transformed him Realising a form out of stone. his work So absorbed him. Could she hear him? Could she see him? All aglow was his room dazed in this light. He would touch her He would hold her. Laughing as they danced. Highest colors touching others. Did her eyes at the turn of the century Tell me plainly When we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me. Like leaves we touched we danced. We once knew the story. As autumn called and we both Remembered all those many years ago. I'm sure we know. Was the sign with a touch As I kiss your fingers. We walk hands in the sun. Memories when we're young. Love lingers so. Was it sun through the haze That made all your looks As warm as moonlight? As a pearl deep in your eyes, Tears have flown away, All the same light. Did her eyes at the turn of the century Tell me plainly When we meet how we'll look As we smile time will leave me clearly. Like leaves we touch, we see. We will know the story. As autumn calls we'll both remember All those many years ago. [B]Parallels[/B] (squire) When you've tried most everything and nothing's taking you higher. When you come to realize, you've been playing with fire. Hear me when I say to you, it's really down to your heart. It's the beginning of a new love in sight. You've got the way to make it all happen. Set it spinning turning roundabout. Create a new dimension. When we are winning we can stop and shout Making love towards perfection. I've been all around the world and seen so many faces. Young and old a story told, filling in my spaces. Now without a trce of doubt I feel it every hour. It's the beginning of a new love inside. Could be an ever opening flower. No hesitation when we're all about To build a shining tower. No explanations, need to work it out. You know we've got the power. Parallel our sights. And we will find, that we, we need, to be, where we, belong. Parallel our heights Display our rights, and wrongs, and always keep it--strong. It's the beginning of a new love in sight. Could be an ever opening flower. No explanations, need to work it out. You know we've got the power. It's the beginning of a new love inside. You've got the way to make it all happen. Set it spinning turning roundabout. Create a new dimension. When we are winning we can stop and shout Making love towards perfection. [B]Wonderous Stories[/B] (anderson) I awoke this morning Love laid me down by a river. Drifting I turned on upstream Bound for my forgiver. In the giving of my eyes to see your face. Sound did silence me Leaving no trace. I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories. Beg to hear your wonderous stories. He spoke of lands not far Or lands they were in his mind. Of fusion captured high Where reason captured his time. In no time at all he took me to the gate. In haste I quickly checked the time. If I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories. Had to hear your wonderous stories. Hearing Hearing Hearing your wonderous stories. Hearing your wonderous stories. It is no lie I can see deeply into the future. Imagine everything You're close And were you there to stand So cautiously at first and then so high. As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky. I bid it to return To hear your wonderous stories. Return to hear your wonderous stories. Hearing, Hearing, Hearing, Hearing, Hearing, [B]Awaken[/B] High vibration go on To the sun, oh let my heart dreaming Past a mortal as me. Where can I be? Wish the sun to stand still. Reaching out to touch our own being Past a mortal as we Here we can be We can be here, Be here now. Here we can be. Awaken suns high stream thru awaken Gentle strong dreams begin here awaken Mass .)(. mass Touch star,song,age,less touching Workings of man Set to ply out historical life. Reregaining the flower of the fruit of his tree. All awakening, all restoring you. Workings of man, crying out from the fires set aflame. By his blindness to see that the warmth of his being Is promised for his seeing, his reaching so clearly. Workings of man Driven far from the path. Rereleased in inhibitions So that all is left for you All is left for you All is left for you All this left for you now. Master of things. master of light. Songs cast alight on you. all pure chance. Hark thru dark ties. as exists cross divided. That tunnel us out of sane existence. in all encircling mode. In challenge as direct. oh closely guided plan. As eyes see young stars assemble. awaken in our heart. Master of soul. master of time. Set to touch. setting sail. All impenetrable youth. over all of our lands. Ask away. and as we look. That thought be contact. forever closer. With all thats clear. shall we now bid. Be honest with yourself. farewell, farewell. Theres no doubt, no doubt. High vibration go on To the sun, oh let my heart dreaming Past a mortal as me. Where can I be? Wish the sun to stand still. Reaching out to touch our own being Past a mortal as we Here we can be We can be here. Like the time I ran away And turned around And you were standing close to me. Like the time I ran away And turned around And you were standing close to me. [/QUOTE]
