SEASHELL EYES

The light was bright around her
The morning that she came
She made faint hearts grow stronger
They'd never be the same

Graceful and alluring
Her skin so soft and warm
It looked so reassuring
Protecting us from harm
But no one's seen her

Chorus:
Seashell eyes and silken mane
Beauty never ends
Her presence holds the forest still
Inviting us to live in peace

She's always there when needed
Her colours never fade
A kiss that brings the morning
When children call her name

Powerful in reason
Moves in a sea of light
She's there to lift our feelings
To see us through the night
But no one's seen her

Repeat chorus

Graceful and alluring
Her skin so soft and warm
It looked so reassuring
Protecting us from harm
But no one's seen her

Repeat chorus

Inviting us to live in peace


SUMMON THE ANGELS

All the birds on earth take flight
Gather every child in sight
Take the day, embrace it well
Summon the angels

Silent as the coolest night
Floating on the oceans' tide
This could eternal life
Summon the angels

Summon the angels
Summon the angels

I have a secret
I'd like to share with you tonight
Come here
Out of the darkness
I walk into a pool of light
I feel no fear

A hand reached out and touched me
And everything above me
Was all so clear
I saw a thousand doves
Do you believe in love

Chorus:
A stream of white vibrating light
Summon the angels
Free to roam the earth
Through the sun, the sand, the surf
Summon the angels

If you believe me
I'll share with you the golden songs
I hear
A new beginning
A time of love for everyone
The way is clear

So close your eyes
Come with me
Through colours that surround me
A silent breeze
Will bring a thousand doves
Do you believe in love

Repeat chorus

All the birds on earth take flight
Gather every child in sight
Take the day, embrace it well
Summon the angels

Silent as the coolest night
Floating on the oceans' tide
This could eternal life
Summon the angels

I saw a thousand doves
Do you believe in love

Repeat chorus

All the birds on earth take flight
Gather every child in sight
Take the day, embrace it well
Summon the angels

Silent as the coolest night
Floating on the oceans' tide
This could eternal life
Summon the angels


BRAZILIAN SKIES

Shining like diamonds
Out on the open sea
The endless sea
Didn't I tell you
That I was wild and free

Journey with me
And I'll tell you what I see
A lonely man who lost his way
From the point of love I say

Chorus:
Didn't I tell you
Under Brazilian skies Always together
Love will remain in our eyes
This feeling
Will always stay with me
This romance can never be

High on the mountain
Breathing the air so sweet
So complete
You were so gentle
Loving was so carefree

Stand here with me
As I look towards the sea
A change of play we must obey
From the point of love I say

Repeat chorus

I am at peace
When I hold you close to me
The lonely man has found his way
From the point of love I say

Repeat chorus


TURN OF THE CENTURY

Realising a form out of stone
Set hands moving
Roan shaped his heart
Thru his working hands
Work to mould 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, love

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 bathed in this light
He would touch her
He would hold her
Laughing as they danced
Highest colours touching others

Did her eyes at the turn of the century
Tell me plainly
How we meet, how we'll love
Or 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 thru the haze
That made all your looks
Warm as moonlight
As a pearl, deep 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 search
We will know the story
As autumn calls we will both remember
All those many years ago
