Half Moon 02:43
lyrics
buy track
Half moon over the hill I saw a falling star it echoed a thought from my soul and sent a flame ablazing to see my Beloved face to face and all in all melting into One I am I am free free oh free free oh free Seagulls squal crystals so clear their substance calls memories so dear mother earth bull with a bell she strokes my head and sings into my ear plucks like a string and makes a harmony of hearts Trees, I thank you for your arms that care She tering my body from winds fury and air You wake up my madness drive my spirit wild as I shalter patterns age old Thank you I remember deep and soon deep and soon

Homecoming 04:37
lyrics

Soft as a gentle breeze I come to her side though my heart is breaking hers is open wide Chorus: Oh, I’m a wanderer oh I’m a longing for love who’ll never never leave one who is true, to her inner self like the waves I break onto the shore come home! Cold as the winter winds she blows through my soul I feel like a beggar in a desert when in the distance I hear her call Warm as the summer rain the tears flow down her face and in her eyes I see a reflection of everyone, everytime and every place Chorus:

Since I met you I’ve been longing to say you’re like a bubbling river you carry me away to where I’m knowing to where I’m free strong as a mountain our love will always be Now you’ve gone overseas to where the angels speak and their thoughts are woven into earths fabric and I feel you inside me and me inside you this journey you’ve taken bring all our dreams true Chorus: Holy tide a wave we’ll ride high or down deep sunshine or moonshine peep moonshine peep moonshine peep

You walk upon the earth with the sun at your face dressed all in white cotton your body radiating grace Chorus: I wait, I tremble I call your name oh take me make me yours yes, I pray You look into the skies stars twinkle in your eyes moon sings her silent praise lighting dark to sunrise Chorus: You touch into my heart shredding clouds into a rain like threads into my pain you sew love back again

Long as the mountains rise in peaks and open skies we’ll never compromise our truth Arise! Chorus: Fight for our living fight for our giving fight for our making women strong, women tall Long as we walk at night in fear of our lives our brothers take our rights, now break Arise! Chorus: Long as my sister lies behind his iron eyes our voice call in cries for freedom!

City Landscape 03:10
lyrics
buy track
She creeps into her room when night is breaking day hears the siren call through her window she’s reminded again she’s a loner in a city landscape She looks along the concrete hall her shadow grey a blood stained wall her rhythms like on arrow that burning constantly fighting loneliness in a city landscape Her eyes are sunken deep something keeps her from her sleep she’s hungering for a freedom something she can keep, for a loner in a city landscape Her heart’s a native tree so row and bursting free her words are lightning striking to pierce my sky – vast dreams striking illusions in a city landscape At night she walks down darkened streets compassion breaks her lonely streak she cries for free born children held in dogmas chains fear their master in a city landscape She creeps into her room when night is breaking day hears the siren call through her window she’s reminded again she’s the holder at humanity bone.

Over the Ocean 04:07
lyrics

Over the ocean my lover lies the light is flowing right into my eyes Chorus: Ocean is timeless it ebbs and flows I’m in no hurry this time to let go How can I argue when what you say is true still I’m feeling so blue maybe I’m losing you There have been others but they’ve come and gone now my heart is solid this time I’m not wrong Chorus Still I’m feeling so new Oh I’m wanting you

Spirit Traveller 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Looking out my window tonight see the bridge and its coloured lights some are red, some green oh my passion lies unseen Chorus: Tho I live in this material world you’re my special love we’ll be together in the end just like one in one Poplar tree you’re so tall strong in the wind your whistling calls my spirit – travels far to the one that I adore Chorus: Harbour waters, oh so blue depth makes her invisible I’m a raindrop falling full I lose myself in you Chorus:

Seed Springs Night Time 02:44
lyrics
buy track
Seed springs night time from the ocean, comes the wind and blows it away it is flying in truth seeking the dawn, the breaking day Body’s growing mighty stronger mothers wisdom shows the way she is fighting against oppression making clear her say Chorus: Women rising from the earth her essence one at birth she’s a love child rocked in motion to a tune born of devotion She’s not looking for a fortune she’s not knocking on fates door she is taking all her choices making a stand for all She’s all women those who wonder those who’ve heard the clarion call She’s black, red white and golden she is making love her law Chorus:

Nayane mamata bhara hasite mukuta jhara Ajana pathik ekdo Hiya kanpe thara thara e k’ bhava manahara e ananda keva seje dilo Man cahe seda dekhi laje bhaye naki taki e madhur madhu kotha chilo The mind wants to see but from fear and shame I cannot look So from where comes this sweetness. Your eyes are full of affection your laughter falls like pearls This unknown traveller has come my heart is a flutter with this beautiful feeling who could give me this bliss
