Distant land
Distant sun
Heroes float
We are one
See the Taj Mahal
When the day is done
Morning breaks upon
The house of the rising sun
Mingus in the river drifts away
Like a Goodbye Pork Pie melody today
Mississippi Ganges that's all right with me
Mississippi Ganges that's all right with me
Two silver rivers one golden melody
Mumbai DJ
In the 70s
American Blues
Sing along with me
Memphis guitar man
Ravi Shankar song
He feels the music
Plays it all night long
Mingus in the river drifts away
Like a Goodbye Pork Pie melody today
Mississippi Ganges that's all right with me
Mississippi Ganges that's all right with me
Two worlds two rivers one golden melody
Distant lands
Distant suns
Heroes float
We are one

Trinity Footprints
04:48
|

|
Let the children play
Smoke a demon out
Let them read about the giant rock
That took the dinosaurs down
Sidewalks tumbling
Down faded roads
Silent chords sound the way to Rome
Out in old New Mexico
Singing in silence where the rooftops rose
I can see Trinity's footprints
Inside my soul
Its a new horizon
Scattered tribes
Show me electric spider lines
I can see the gathering strength
Through the gathering storm
Prey upon the ones yet born
Diminishing trees
Industry's shade
Draw the bottom line to your breast
And let the arrow escape
Choose your trophy
Choose a hurricane
Just remember your bullets can be boomerangs

Complicated Smile
04:12
|
|||
|
Sweet as summer rain
Falling once again
Moon upon your face
A smile that never fades
Love an endless pace
A million smiles away
We’ve walked so many miles --- my love
It’s a Complicated smile
Remembering the time
I held your hand in mine
Running in the rain
Spanish Harlem games
Every time I see
What you mean to me
Our love remains in style --- my love
It’s a Complicated Smile
Written by your hand
Pages in the sand
Every note a chance
Stay with me and dance
Each and every plane
Across the sea again
To an emerald isle---- my love
It’s a complicated smile

Searching For the Sum
04:11
|
|||
|
You Knock upon the sky
Then listen to the sound
Don’t question why
Your ear is to the ground
You crawl to walk
The straight uneven lines
But the trouble is
You think you have the time
I'm Searching for the Transcendental
I can’t find it in no Temple
Love ain’t no arithmetic for one
I’m just searching for the sum
Here with everyone
I’m just searching for the sum
So you Reach out
For some gold to grab
Life says let go
Or it is you will be dragged
So just walk on by
Surrender
When you are still
The universe complies
I'm Searching for the Transcendental
I can’t find it in no temple
Love ain’t no arithmetic for one
I’m just searching for the sum
Here with everyone
I’m just searching for the sum
Life’s what happens
When you shed your skin
But no mountain ever
Yielded to the wind
Blowing through the trees
By the old canal
When all is said and done
It’s a rusty carousel

Beloved
03:14
|

|
Beloved let your eyes half close
Underneath these stars we chose
In a time when we as children grew
Souls bright so barely used
Steeds slowly coming in view
Dream with me in another world
We knew
Call it medieval grace
Call it faith
I’d walk a thousand miles to see your face
And the radiant sparkle in your eyes
That never seems to fade
A passing woman in a field of grain
Waves to lovers sneaking kisses again
And all the windmills on firm earth
Turn and change
But flame on flame
Deep under deep
Desires sword lays across my knees
When you look with love upon me
Like the great tide that turns the shifting shore
The seasons and sunsets have come and gone like before
My soul’s salvation in surrender tonight
Will you my love
Will you be my bride
Call it medieval grace
