Full Moon Lullaby
04:15
|

|
Beneath the full moon, stars above your head
I watched the orchids swaying in the breeze
I took a photograph of you with my mind
Before turning away to leave
(Chorus)
They say some flowers, they only bloom at night
And in the moonlight, love, you're such a pretty sight
I would write you a thousand full moon lullabies
If you'd change your mind and not say goodbye
Along the bamboo path, just as little as an ant
Lost looking for you behind each rock and plant
There are others, kind strangers on this road
But I want the one that I already know
(Chorus)
Waited up all night just to sail out at sunrise
But morning met me with a vision of red skies
I'll wait at the dock until the clouds have thinned
I'll wait for a heart that's fickle as the wind
(Chorus)
Now your memory drifts in with the salty wind
Your voice echoes in every cave we've been in
There's a song inside each shell that lays along the sand
Where I walk along and long to hold your hand
(Chorus)

Junk Sails

Clive built a ship with junk sails on it
And so traveled the world by sea
Lived no more than three months in one place since 1968
Oh, the sailor's life for me
Graham was a young cartography master
And so traveled the land and grew rich
Lost it all to a false love down in the South Pacific
Now, from his houseboat, he curses that bitch
Susan weaves in and out of the forest
Brings firewood and apples to me
Guided by her elder, she told me that her gift was for healing
Four months on an arctic expedition
Four months to go crazy alone
Send in help to rescue him so he can go and build a log home
Down in the redwoods of California
Machete gets high, reads Tolstoy and waits
To give his loving brother a kidney
Now he's done sleeping in the churches of Monterey
First female aviation teacher in the nation
Taught him to fly and they fell in love
Brought the brightest gem in Naramata
Brighter than all the stars up above

Voyage of the message in a bottle
Out there on the ocean
Bobs up and down so that it gives me a notion
Voyage of the message in a bottle
Out there on the sea
Write it out, roll it up, send it to me
Journey through storms and waves
With creatures of the water
A message travels, carried by a determined little bottle
There's a world down at the bottom, in the middle, and above
Tiny subplot at the surface for some drifting words of love
The ocean carries life, secrets, mysteries
Tales, tides, tragedies, and ships, if you please
And over in a lighthouse by the Graveyard of the Sea
I wait for a message in a bottle sent to me

Last November
03:11
|
|||
|
An early, foggy morning last November
As I watched the branches swing and sway
My feet the only sound
In that silent forest
As I wondered where you walked that day
(Chorus)
When my time to die has come and gone, love
All that's left behind will be my bones
What will happen to the love I hold for you, dear
When I'm laid beneath the dirt and stones?
By March the snow had long been deep, love
And I shivered in my little shack
As I sat and wrote to you a letter
Knowing that you'd never write me back
(Chorus)
Well spring, it surely has arrived now
The river's flowing and the flower's growing near
And though I try to accept that you won't come back
My little heart still beats for you out here
(Chorus)

A beautiful album. Sounds like it was made in the sixties. It's got rock 'n roll and romance and everything in between. I had a hard time picking my favorite track -Friend or Foe, Jump Down Baby, The Key, because there are so many great tracks on this album.
