I know love will come tumblin’ down From the heavens right down to the ground I know love will come tumblin’, you see ‘Cause I need it to tumble right into me X2 I’ve lived my life so hidden Even though I have such fire in my heart Now I’ve got to mend the cracks The places that were torn apart Going start by calling to you, by believin’ that Love will come tumblin’ down From the heavens right down to the ground I feel love will come tumblin’, you see ‘Cause I need it to tumble right into me I bless the moment, I bless the time I turned to you, so I could finally Reach my hand up high Turn toward the sky and See if it’s raining love, ya I know love will come tumblin’ down From the heavens right down to the ground I know love will come tumblin’, you see ‘Cause I need it to tumble right into me

Blessings 03:26
May the white light surround you each and every day May the wisest oracle guide you on your way May the tears wash through you to a place that’s good May you be blessed and understood ‘Cause I know, that love can break a foolish heart Each and every time we turn away From the dream, the one where you and I Where we vanquish all our fears, fly in relief against the sky May the blue, blue waters flow through your mind ’Til you wash up on the shore and you start to climb The highest mountain, the greatest peak May your deepest thought be the one you speak ‘Cause I know, that love can break a foolish heart Each and every time we turn away From the dream, the one where you and I Where we vanquish all our fears, sail the ocean Where we ride the waves Fly in relief against the sky May the statues move the monuments May the vikings till the land May the ancient beasts rise up to put flowers in your hand May you open up your lips to the deepest sound And when you’re lost, may you be found ‘Cause I know, that love can break a foolish heart Each and every time we turn away From the dream, the one where you and I Where we vanquish all our fears, fly in resistance Where we sail the ocean, ride the waves Fly in relief against the sky

Have some tea my love with cream and sugar Share a moment of translucent love Pearl dreams strung on the little things Stay a while, read me a poem and I’ll Pirouette across the living room floor Beaded dreams strung with the little things Our love grows wide and that’s why I Comb your hair while I tell you my dreams It’a all in the little things Hey love, above, a jewel of many colours shining That we conceived in each and every shade Hey babe, we made a diamond band with pebbles in our hand Out of sand, with love You’re my love, my man, you ask me why I stand Perched on the pearly gates, ‘cause heaven waits For the opening we bring to the little things It’s all in the little things, ya Heaven sings through the little things It’s in the little things

Hold Me 03:15
Hold me like you’ll never let me go Teach me to believe in the impossible Time stands still to let the dreamer just dream on I have buried shiny treasures in my emptiness Etched in my face, the lines map out my very depth I have waited time and time again for you to hold me I’ve waited time and time again for you to console me I know you’re there somewhere I’m waiting for you to Hold me like you’ll never let me go Teach me to believe in the impossible Time stands still to let the dreamer just dream on I paint every colour of every kind of loneliness Every picture every portrait, every line Is of you and I, it’s all about us Well, don’t wait for too long cause I may only catch a glimpse of you Don’t wait for forever Cause I may never find you Reach for me, I’ll be there for you to Hold me like you’ll never let me go Teach me to believe in the impossible Time stands still to let the dreamer just dream on Let the dream go on……..

Reach 03:22
Hey baby can’t you see I’ve got a cloud over my destiny It’s got your name in big bold letters on the silver Lining, I’m whining, ‘cause you can’t seem to come with me and Reach for the end of the rainbow Go to that place where no one ever dares to go Reach for the end of the rainbow When you get there don’t let go Hey baby I don’t mind watching the seasons turn, go ahead take your Time, but I’m yearning, I long for you so desperately And I trust that one day that you’ll turn to me and together we will Reach for the end of the rainbow Follow the trail of colours that will pierce the veil Reach for the end of the rainbow, Then we’ll know Just how sweet our love can be, Then we’ll know Just how shiny just how blinding love can be Reach for the end of the rainbow, When you get there don’t let go I see the gold in front of me I’m told that we’re the ones who will Go higher and higher, ’til we see the end Reach for the end of the rainbow Go to that place where no one ever dares to go Reach for the end of the rainbow When you get there don’t let go

Home 03:38
Once a bird flew through my window, couldn’t find its way back home Nestled in the darkest corner, scared and all alone It turned and whispered to me, you have the power, you hold the key To the gates of the garden that will lead you home Home, it’s just around the bend Home, where all that’s torn can mend Home, it’s where I need to be Home, where I can fly free Found a bird with a broken wing, Brough it into my home It made the bitter, sweetest sound that I have ever heard All things that ring true, will keep you On the sweetest, the deepest open road back home Home, oh the sweet, sweet sound of Home, I hear the melodies of Home, it’s where I need to be Home, where I can fly free Once a bird flew through the ages, thought It was the only one Left a trail of crumbs behind it, to find it’s way back home Link hearts on the journey, link hands to move mountains And when you fly so high, look straight ahead to get back Home, oh, together we’ll fly home, spread your wings fly Home, oh the sweet, sweet sound of home, I hear the melodies of Home, yes, take me back to my home, I’ve got to get back Home, it’s where I want to be Home, where I can fly free

In and out of time In and out of ways to find The budding of a fragrant love That blossomed for a while In and out of time In and out of loves sweetest rhymes Even now I hear the echo I was your chosen rose for a while In and out of days In and out of ways to turn back time I still wish that I could be In the fragrant scent Under the weeping willow tree I love the way you walk beside me The way you called my name I love the way you took the time To enfold me in your arms Under the weeping willow tree In and out of time I unwind The images you left behind I still feel a part of me Weeping under the willow tree In and out of love’s bitter sweet Moments and memories In and out of an unlived love That I’m still thinking of Oh, I look for you Oh, I long for you I turn to you in my dreams But you’re not there

Find A Way 02:42
Find a way to your dream Don’t let the whim and the way of the world criticize you Find a way to your heart, turn from those who minimize you Open up to love I’m waiting for you Find a way to your dream, open up to a new beginning Find a way to your heart, fly with wings that are Opened up to love, I’m waiting for you Never thought you could speak the unspeakable Never could make the dream appear A vision of what might be possible Trapped in a crystal tea Find a way to your dream, unwind your way back to the past Find a way to your heart, mend you way back to me at last Open up to love, if not, it will haunt you I want to float with you through billow clouds I want to dancer the tango right out loud I want to, I want you to Find a way to your dream, open up to a new beginning Find a way to your heart, fly with wings that are Opened up to love, I’m waiting for you Open up to love, new directions…… Find a way to your dream, open up….. Find a way to your heart, new directions……

It’s a long way to heaven A hard road to climb The grit and the gravel get stuck in my toes Every time I tread there My shoes are thread bare It’s a long, long way to heaven It’s a long, long way to go now Ya, it’s a long way to heaven It’s a long way to heaven Every time I try to ascend They say ‘Go back girl, go back and make amends’ I try, I’m really trying It’s a long, long way to heaven It’s a long, long way to go now Ya, it’s a long way to heaven A long time ago you lost a piece of you rib Well I’ve been trying to get to that Womanly hybrid I’m wrong, so very wrong On the contrary, it’s evolutionary It’s a long way to heaven Only the brave and the wise know How to keep the dust and dirt from getting Caught in your eyes Wow, I’m guessing, I’m really guessing It’s a long, long way to heaven It’s a long, long way to go now Ya, it’s a long way to heaven Gotta go, gotta get back to, Gotta go, gotta get back there……..
