Can I Tell You

R: Williams/P.
Ehart/D. Hope/S. Walsh

Can I tell you
something

Got to tell you one thing

If you expect the freedom

That you say is yours

Prove that you deserve it

Help us to preserve it

Or being free will just be

Words and nothing more.

¿Puedo contarte...?

Bringing it Back
J.J. Cale

Thirty days have
September
In a jailhouse I remember
Well, I got caught with too much soul
Bringing it back from Mexico
Bringing it back from Mexico

Spanish lights
and pretty faces
Trip you out to where the place is
Load you up and let you go
Bringing it back from Mexico
Bringing it back from Mexico

Across the border
is where you'll get her
And when it's good there ain't no better
I think I'll get me some to go
A-bringing it back from Mexico
Bringing it back from Mexico.

Lonely Wind
S. Walsh

When I'm needin'
a friend I can talk to the wind
God I sure am glad that I found him
Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me
Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him
Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day
On a warm summer night you can hear him say

Cry for me, sigh
for me, sad breezes flow
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know
My lonely wind must blow

Mighty friend
that is mine, can you give me a sign?
He'll leave nothing but only to hear him
I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow
And that's all the more reason I fear him
Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain
But on the eve of this day
I'll join in his refrain

Cry for me, sigh
for me, sad breezes flow
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know
My lonely wind must blow

When I'm needing
a friend I'll remember the wind
And my life here with the breezes of sorrow
I'll be leaving him soon 'cause I've got to make room
For the lonely that will find him tomorrow
On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling
And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing

Cry for me, sigh
for me, sad my breezes flow
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know
My lonely wind
My lonely wind
My lonely wind must blow.

Viento solitario

Belexes
K. Livgren

Oh, I cannot tell
you to make up your mind
And gather together the best of your kind
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake - ah

Look at the heads
buried deep in the sand
Hiding from evil made by their own hand
The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait
You've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've tried
So much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake - ah.

Journey From Mariabronn
K. Livgren/S.
Walsh

Two began together,
lived as one
Each one to the other had become
More than a friend, living to meet a common end
They were true, each one knew all is well

Still the elder
knew it could not last
Hidden memories from the young one's past
Drew them apart
Bath knew that deep within his heart they must part
Each their own separate way

It puzzles me
how we can be so close and yet worlds apart
Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two
From the very start
I screamed for the devil to let me be
I called to the heavens to set me free
Today I prayed for the answer and not one
Of the gods in the sky would rescue me

Dreams of fortune
fill the young one's mind
Learn the worldly ways of hope to find
Love on the way, searching to find the light of day
In his soul he had found his own way

But to each other
they will soon return
Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame.

The Pilgrimage
K. Livgren/S.
Walsh

Dark and silent
brooding, stillness falls
Sounds caress the waiting empty halls
Pilgrims flock from miles around
Seekers in the night abound
All have come to feel the sound of joy

Patient eyes are
watching from below
Mirror image flashing in the glow
Hands are joined in energy
All approaching ecstasy
Harnessing the power in the air

Awesome in their
patient majesty
Pouring forth the fruits of harmony
Hands are joined in energy
All approaching ecstasy
Harnessing the power in the air.

El peregrinaje

Apercu
K. Livgren/S.
Walsh

The mist of time
is stil concealing
The vision that I seek
Those who died have all borne witness
If only they could speak

Now and then we've
all been given
A glimpse of bygone days
I'd give all to see it clearly
Not shrouded in the haze
Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment
Were you with me?
Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?

Each man has a
memory
Much more than the eye can see
Yet still others linger deep inside you
Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you
Look beyond your eyes
At the dark and moody skies
For they're standing in your way
And I feel the light of day

Now the earth
gives forth its secrets
Held in mountain sea and plain
They have never been forgotten
Only locked inside my brain
While I slept I had a vision, I remember
You were with me
We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door.

Death of Mother Nature
Suite
K. Livgren/S.
Walsh

Every day she
gets a little weaker
The beauty she once knew has come and gone
We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters
The blood is on your hands, the time has come
And now she's gonna die

We've strangled
all her trees and starved her creatures
There's poison in the sea and in the air
But worst of all we've learned to live without her
We've lost the very meaning of our lives
And now she's gonna die

Once she ruled
the earth with love and wisdom
But we were much too smart to live her way
With greed and lust we tried to rise above her
The ignorance of man will reach and end
'Cause now we're gonna die.
