25 Years

25 years since I woke up trembling
25 years since that terrible dream
I could see that the world was crumbling
Nothing is ever as it seems

Tried to run but my feet were frozen
Tried to scream but there was no sound
In my head voices echoing
Girl you should know better by now

*Long ago, Far away…
In the mist of yesterday

And you tried so hard to save me
How do you save someone from themselves
All those years, wasted wishes
Drowning in the wishing well…

25 years since I woke up trembling
25 years since that terrible dream
I could see that the world was crumbling
Nothing is ever as it seems

Olde Village Lanterne

Don't shed a tear for me
I stand alone
This path of destiny
Is all my own
Once in the hands of fate
There is no choice
An echo on the wind
You'll hear my voice...

Some choose to fall behind
Some choose to lead
Some choose a golden path
Laden with greed
But it’s the noble heart
That makes you strong
And in that heart, I'm with you all along...

*The olde village lanterne
Is calling me onward
Leading wherever I roam
The olde village lanterne
A light in the dark
Bringing me closer to home...

So when you think of me
Do so with pride
Honor and bravery
Ruled by my side
And in your memory
I will remain
I will forever be within the flame...

Now at the journey's end
We've traveled far
And all we have to show
Are battle scars
But in the love we shared
We will transcend
And in that love, our journey never ends...

I Guess It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

Standing in the rain
The cold and angry rain
In a long white dress
A girl without a name

She stood beneath the light
Glowing like a candle bright
I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

I pulled along the side
And offered her a ride
Like the rolling mist she floated inside
As we pulled away
She had nothing to say
So I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

*I believe something’s can’t be explained
They are hidden in the mist and in the silver rain…

The road was long
It ran on
When I heard her singing her silent song
I knew the melody
From my memory
But I guess it Doesn’t Matter Anymore


Finally she spoke
Come pull off the road
Saying she was headin’ home
I turned and she was gone
I was all alone
So I Guess It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

As I turned away
No reason to stay
She had faded back into the grey
A whisper in the trees
You could hear it in the breeze
Say I Guess It Doesn’t Matter Anymore

The Messenger

World Of Stone

Bring to me all of my arrows
Bring to me my crossbow too
I fear we might need them both
Before the night is through

Once a world of glittering hope
This world is not the world we knew
The only light left to shine
Is between me and you

*On our own
In a World of Stone
We are not alone

I had once believed in angels
They were everywhere I looked
A gentle hand guiding me
To give more than I took

But I have died a thousand times
Watching all these angels fall
Their lonely eyes haunt me still
We will avenge them all

*Bring me mead and bring me ale
To help us face this fight again
Good fortune will shine down on us
Together we will win

And they will never break our spirit
We will never turn and run
And we will rise stronger still
When we stand as one!

Faerie Queen

Over on the hill
There grows a flower
Growing quicker still
More perfect by the hour
Deep within that flower
Is a tiny chair
All a-fringed with gold
The fairy queen sits there…

It is in her breath
That the wind does blow
It is in her heart
As pure as winter snow
It is in her tears
Crystal raindrops fall
And within her years
That she is in us all…

*Oh dark eyes
Help me see
Just one look
She is gone
Look on me
We are one
Fading with the setting sun…

As the willow bows
To her majesty
All the forest flowers
Love her mystery
Who would not admire
Who could not adore
Who does not desire
Who wishes to see more?

Just Call My Name (I’ll Be There)

So many nights I sat here waiting
There were times I couldn’t go on
Still my heart was anticipating
It made me be strong
Made me hold on…

There were some calling me crazy
I’ve been accused of being naïve
But I don’t need no one to save me
Cause I got you, you make me believe

*I’ll Be There in the night when you need me
Just call my name
I’ll be there close your eyes and you’ll see me
Just Call My Name

I don’t need to know the answers
I don’t want to understand
We were born to take the chances
I know the truth when you hold my hand…

I had waited a lifetime lost on the open sea
Praying for an angel to be sent to me

Now the night don’t last forever
Every moment is a song
Cause we face the night together
Something so right could never be wrong

Olde Mill Inn

Down at the Olde Mill Inn
We'll laugh and dance and sing
We'll drink all day and Bill will pay
Down at the Olde Mill Inn

Down at the Olde Mill Inn
The ships are sailing in,
We'll drink a toast with Judy our host
Down at the Olde Mill Inn

* The moon is full, the bar is too, when we come to town
We'll have a beer, cause Jerry's here, so spread the cheer around....

Down at the Olde Mill Inn
The bartenders name is Kim
And with a smile she'll serve in style
Down at the Olde Mill Inn...

Down at the Olde Mill Inn
We'll laugh and dance and sing
We'll drink all day and Bill will pay
Down at the Olde Mill Inn

Down at the Olde Mill Inn
We'll laugh and dance and sing
We'll drink and play the hours away...
Down at the Olde Mill Inn...

Windmills

Far from the worn path of reason
Further away from the sane
He battles his shadows and demons
Fighting to light the way

And the dust and the dirt cloud his vision
Onward he rides unafraid
He fights the good fight for good reason
A star that refuses to fade

Still he braves his path…
Windmills only laugh

She was wounded and wild when he found her
He saw her through child’s eyes
She fell for the spell he was under
Each day a brand new surprise

And she watches with strange curiosity
She wants so much to believe
Hoping to break the chains of reality
Dying to set herself free

*

Though he may appear tattered and broken
His clothes are shabby and bare
Still he glows like the flame of a candle
With passion of one who still cares

There was always a rhyme to the reason
Peering out from tired eyes
The truth finally came in treason
So wrong, but so justified…
So wrong but so justified…
Windmills close their eyes…

 

Once In A Garden

Once In A Garden
Where dreams could be found
Once children’s laughter
Was the only sound
The butterflies kissed our hair
Once in a Garden
I still see us right there

Once on a hilltop
Beneath the old tree
Swings made of tires
Made us feel so free
No one had worries, troubles were few
Once in a Garden
Where innocence rang pure and true

Hours of make believe
Playing in the sun
Dreaming with wonder
What would we become
My best friend
Holding my hand
We’d run by the sea
Through castles of sand

Once in a forest
Just like Robin Hood
Flowers were our play mates
We only saw good
In everything, be it right or wrong
Once in a Garden – I still can hear our song…

Call It Love

I’m standing here
Watching the waves break on the sand
Holding your hand
And wondering if there was a time
When I felt more comfortable
I could conquer the world
With you by my side
We’ve gone down
So many lonely roads
Searched for what we’d known was
Right around the corner and I knew
From the time I saw your face
From our first embrace
That you were the one…

We could call it luck
We could call it fate
We could call it heart’s desire
We could call it a dream
Even though we’re wide awake
Let’s Just Call It Love

I feel like
I’ve known you my whole life
That every day and night
Was made just for us
I don’t know what I ever did before
You walked through my door
And changed my whole life…
