PHOTOGRAPH
In this world it makes me shimmer and this world it makes me scream
With all the hope we have inside us, still life is but a dream, but a dream

And all the hours we hold on to and all the love we think we share
Everybody’s walking we’re just walking up a stair walking a stair


I’m studying your photograph,
I’ve saved it all these years it’s left a mark
On everything thing I think is beautiful

I’m studying your photograph,
Trying to recall trying to get back
To a time somewhere where everything was beautiful

I watch the sun upon the water and we’re talking to the trees
I see the angels and their faces and their begging me please begging me please

Just when I think the world is dying, she’s just starting to live
There’s a moral to this story, she says forgive, forgive, forgive

FREQUENCY

I’ve got this crystal and I’m holding it in my hand
and there’s a light in the middle
and it’s shooting light all around me
On all the walls the most beautiful colors
And I feel like I’m
Leaving my body behind

If you don’t like what you see,
Change your frequency
If you don’t like what you hear
The time is coming the time is coming now

It’s late at night and I’m swimming in the ocean
The water is dark and it’s moving all around me
It's loving me into it and I’m not afraid
Cause I’ve got the moon and I’m singing my song to the moon

I’m walking down this path and I see a bolt of lightning
It strikes something in front to of me and
I’m holding on to anything
And nothing seems the same anymore
I just want to cry all the tears
The world has ever left behind --

WE ARE NOT STRANGERS ANYMORE

I took you to the edge, I told you to get undressed
And you did, because I told you
I held you against the wall until you melted like wax
Into me, because I love you

I held you up against the backdrop of the darkness
Until you screamed it, because I need it
Ripped the top off of the geyser and held you until morning
With nothing in-between us
We are not strangers anymore

I took you deep inside the candle of your light
And you were, because I told you
I forced my love upon you against my wishes to control you
And it was, because I love you

I told you not to stay, but you did it anyway
And you cried when I told you
We mustn’t fuss or fight, it’s a shame to waste this light
In your eyes, we are not strangers anymore

CONVERSATION WITH AND ANGEL

Yes, there is heat
And it comes from some place inside
I’m trying to describe to an angel
What it’s like to be alive

The sky is clear blue
The air the color of tea
I know I’m not really alone
The place just looks empty
What it’s like to be alive

And sometimes
When your out on a drive
And the sky is throwing colors
Feels like you’re on a circus ride

And sometimes his hands
So gentle and alive
Moving slowly over you
Makes you want to cry
What's it’s like to feel alive

Sometimes when I shut my eyes
I feel like I’m breaking through
I know you are here
I can’t see you - but I know you’re here

And there’s a strange way
That time halts and disappears
When you are surrounded by light
And love, and you find you’re laughing through tears

Here, take this rock in your hands
Can you feel the solid cool?
No? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean
I didn’t mean, to upset you

I’m not cruel, really
Really I’m not
I just working hard
To untie the knot, that keeps me earth bound
When I want to fly - this is what it’s like to be alive

A THIN BLUE LINE

Can you tell me I am wilting here,
Is it going to rain?
Rolling over underneath the spheres
Calling out your name

Is anybody haunted?
In a midnight hour who's to say why we bend to say our prayers
Is anybody worried?
In a midnight hour I love the way you stay and I’ll hold you until the light of day

Just a thin blue line rising from her cigarette and vanishing in air
Just a thin blue line between me here and you over there
Just a thin blue line

I’m a stranger, stranger to you now
Watching cells divide
Come in closer, when your thinking’s clear
It’s a lonely ride

GOING TO CALIFORNIA (Plant/Page)

Spent my days with woman unkind, smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind got a brand new start
I'm going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told there’s a girl out there
with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane
never let them tell you they are all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey
I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountians and canyons start to tremble and shake
the children of tomorrow begin to awake

It seems that the rath of the gods got a punch in the nose
and it started to flow I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line and I’ll reach it in time,
and I’ll meet you somewhere where the path is straight and high

To find a king without a queen they say she’s plays guitar and cries and sings
Find a while mare in foots steps of dawn
trying to find a women who’s never been born
Standing on a hill in a mountain of dreams
trying to tell myself it’s not as hard as it seems

TASTE OF FATE

I’m hearing rain inside my head and all the while the tears are coming
The levy’s breaking
Floating high above this place while my steps I’m trying to retrace
It leaves me shaking
Talk to me the way you do and coax the flame to rise
Coax the flame to rise like a moon
Here is comes, here is comes, head, heart and sky

Don’t tell my brother I’m no angle
Don’t tell my mother I’m no saint
Don’t tell my lover I’m not faithful
For this I kneel, I pray and I wait
Don’t leave me standing in the garden
Just for tonight please stay away
I feel so cold and alone here, alone to taste my fate

It’s hard to keep my will from crashing down the way you throw your love around
Leaves me aching
Here I thought you were the one the one who understood
Now I find out you were only faking
You are the one to bring me back, to bring me
Back to live in dreamtime
Where there’s only one head, one heart, one sky

It’s hard to keep my will from crashing down it’s all I have left to call my own
The city rises up and groans and takes a breath and
Tried to find something it truly owns
In between the cracks there lies a secret we all know
And we’re sworn to keep it
There’s only one love, one voice, one heart, one mind

FURTHEST DISTANT ORBITING SATELLITE

I know you didn’t expect to hear from me, you thought that I was gone
But I had a dream you were worrying and wondering what went wrong
In the same way a star explodes and a universe is born

I’m your furthest distant orbiting satellite
And I feel like I’ve been drifting all my life

I know you are too busy now and you just don’t have the time
But I had to call you up to hear your voice over this line
And I promise not to hurt you, the explosions are behind
I’m your furthest distant orbiting satellite

Can you answer a call from deep space
I’m out here and I’m going under
I see you in the moons face
and everywhere I wander

I’m your furthest distant orbiting satellite
and I called to say I’m missing you tonight, just missing you tonight

MY LUCK HAS CHANGED

I woke up -- this morning
Something’s feeling different now
The sun light in the doorway
Was begging me to get up and walk out and into a cityscape
I don’t know where, but I know it’s something good

chorus-
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I think my luck has changed
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I feel my luck has changed

It was raining when I met you
Drank coffee as the city smeared
There was something - different - today you said hello the sky cleared
as we walked into the park, still talking after dark,
I don’t know what this is, but I know it’s something good --

Tell me if I’m dreaming, you can wake me gently when you say good-bye
But if I’m not dreaming then the only limitation is the sky, yeah, yeah, yeah....

BREATHE

If love is just another word
And time is just another set of hands
If this is just another perfect day, oh, why
If you are just another friend,
Why does touching you make me feel this way
There’s so much to understand

I want to break bread with you
to dance amongst the dead with you
To fall into the arms of the sea and to breathe
I want to -- I want to say I can be true
To feel your body breaking through
is to breathe, breathe again

If the world is really breaking down
and everything around us isn’t real
Why would we be afraid, oh why?
If you are just another soul
and I am just another shooting star
Then everything is coming ‘round –

Shallow water dream a steam,
merry into ocean great
If love can capture every dream
then why the hell then would we wait

YOU MISTOOK ME FOR A BOY

You mistook me for a boy
To be so near and yet so far away
If I could I’d kiss you now
I’d kiss you hard, I’d kiss you deep

Don’t tell me that my plans are crazy
Don’t tell me that I’d might as well get some sleep
Don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m thinking
You’re the only one whose every gotten this deep
Don’t tell me that I’m cute when I’m angry
Don’t tell me I remind you of someone else
Don’t tell me that I’ve got to get grounded
There’s just something I’ve got to say

You mistook me for a boy
I walk through you hall in my mind
I slip in your room and watch you sleep
Is it love or is it crime?

You mistook me for a boy
Now I’m under you and you’re over me
I don’t say the right things I don’t wear the right clothes
She is more of a girl than I will ever be
My ships are in your harbor
My men are awaiting my command
I don’t say the right things I don’t wear the right clothes
This is all, this is all that I will every be

SILENCE WILL NOT SAVE US NOW

Give me something to believe in when the world is set on fire
There’s a breaking down and giving in
Although we swore that we were right
Now the fuse it lit and all the colors are burning bright this time

Our silence will not save us now
Open the door and let me breathe somehow
The water is rising coming in under the door
Our silence will not save us now

Standing on the front line
My friends we are not shamans now
We don the gear of warriors
Take this and make sure mother knows that I love her, that I love her

Give me something to believe in, when the world is set on fire
There a breaking down and giving in
Although we swore that we were right
Now the fuse it lit and all the colors are burning bright this time
