MIRRORS

Oh, we are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through

And the fire of a newborn moment is shining round you
Kiele aloha
Hey, a perfect stranger, a feeling of you,
Kiele aloha
Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are

We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through

And the fire of a golden light is shining round you
Kiele aloha
Hey, the wind is cold, and I long to hold you
Kiele aloha
Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are

We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through

And the streets are filled with bells, and the sky was falling
Kiele aloha
There are so many things I long to tell you, can you here me calling
Kiele aloha
Hey, come be with me for we are, we are, we are

We are perfect mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through

We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through

We are mirrors in the sun and we brightly shine
We are singing and dancing in perfect time
There is nothing in the world that we can do
To stop the light of love come shining through


WATER BEARER

Water Bearer! Water bearing one!
Water bearing one! Water bearing one!

I was born under the sign of the sun
Water bearer! Water bearing one!
My mama was young and the skies were rocking
On the day that I first saw the light
Water bearer! Water bearing man!
With the dusty heart of a beggar woman
I'm following you by moonlight
Water-bearer! Water-bearing man!
Now the rain's on fire through the redwood trees
I can feel your blood flowing in me.
Water-bearer! Water-bearing man!
Water-bearer! Water-bearing man!
Water-bearer! Water-bearing man!

I was born under the sign of the sun
Water bearer! Water bearing one!
My mama was young and the skies were rocking
On the day that I first saw the light
Water bearer! Water bearing man!
With the dusty heart of a beggar woman
I'm following you by moonlight
Water-bearer! Water-bearing man!
Now the rain's on fire through the redwood trees
I can feel your blood flowing in me.
Water-bearer! Water-bearing one!
Water-bearer! Water-bearing one!
Water-bearer! Water-bearing one!

Feel like the dry Sahara sand
She cry for rain to cool the land
Cool the flame thats burning me!
Cool the flame thats burning me!
Oh! Water bearer! Water bearing one!

It's dark on the mountain waiting for the sun,
The devil is sleeping and the lord of the light is waking
The dawn is slowly breaking
Hella Kiellessa niovya lo
He ana hella kielleya niova nya

And the morning comes so brave and free!
And the clinging clouds they turn and flee!
There's a rising wind and it's taking me!
Ella galalea kolotya lo
He ana hella kielessa niova nya
It's written on walls of stone in starlight
"There is a path across the night"

It's dark on the mountain waiting for the sun,
The devil is sleeping and the lord of the light is waking

"There is a path across the night"


PATH WITH A HEART

I search the night for signs of life and love
I travel endlessly, no time for rest or sleeping
I search the ground for footprints of my kind
Love is the only thing that will ever ease my mind

The road grows cold, the night is coming down
Far in the distance I can hear the drumbeats sound

My heart tells me, deep in the forest burns a light
Somebody, somewhere, never sleeps, waiting for me
To find him in the night
Love is the answer, you can follow it in the dark
The path with a heart. The path with a heart

The road grows cold, the night is coming down
Far in the distance I can hear the drumbeats sound
Somewhere in my heart there comes a song
The song of my long lost home and the land where I was born

My heart tells me, deep in the forest burns a light
Somebody, somewhere, never sleeps, waiting for me
To find him in the night
Love is the answer, you can follow it in the dark
The path with a heart. The path with a heart

My heart tells me, deep in the forest burns a light
Somebody, somewhere, never sleeps, waiting for me
To find him in the night
Love is the answer, you can follow it in the dark
The path with a heart

My heart tells me, deep in the forest burns a light
Somebody, somewhere, never sleeps, waiting for me
To find him in the night
Love is the answer, you can follow it in the dark
The path with a heart
The path with a heart
The path with a heart
The path with a heart


RIVER OF MY CHILDHOOD

River of my childhood, where the boats are green and gold, the colours of my soul,
Want to meet you baby where the corn is fair,
And tumbled everywhere!
Want to talk to you, I want to confess a secret love affair.

I want to hide my face against the wall
Ooh, I want to tell it all
I can't go on this way, keeping it cool,
The ice is melting!
Ooh, you're warm and strong,
Ooh, you turn me on like no-one in my life since I was born -
You're flowing in me like the...

River of my childhood, I wander down the dusty streets
Of the town of my first love,
It's a misty night I wait for the night in the window above
I can't keep away, I'm dreaming about you
Night & Day!

I want to hide my face against the wall
Ooh, I want to tell it all
I can't go on this way, keeping it cool,
The ice is melting!
Ooh, you're warm and strong,
Ooh, you turn me on like no-one in my life since I was born -
You're flowing in me like the
River of my childhood

I want to hide my face against the wall
Ooh, I want to tell it all
I can't go on this way, keeping it cool,
The ice is melting!
Ooh, you're warm and strong,
Ooh, you turn me on like no-one in my life since I was born -
You're flowing in me like the...

River of my childhood, where the boats are green and gold, the colours of my soul,
Want to meet you baby where the corn is fair,
And tumbled everywhere!
Want to talk to you, I want to confess a secret love affair.


SONS OF THE FREE

A summer dawn is coming
There's a rare lightning on the sea
And on the fishing fleet and the men coming home
I wanna run down there, wanna meet them
Oh I love to be with the sons of the free!
Love to be with the sons of the free!

They're born of the wind
There ain't no man gonna rule them
Their feelings run deep and strong
They got a real heartbeating through them
Oh I love to be with the sons of the free!
Love to be with the sons of the free!

They're moving! Moving on!
They're moving! Moving with the sun!

Love to be with the sons of the free!
Love to be with the sons of the free!

The stars are singing
There's a high tide in my heart
I can hear the men on the beach
They're bringing good news from afar!
Oh I love to be with the sons of the free!
Love to be with the sons of the free!

Oh I love to lie! Oh! I wanna live and die
With the sons of the free!

Oh I love to lie! Oh! I wanna live and die
With the sons of the free!

With the sons of the free!

Oh I love to lie! Oh! I wanna live and die

THE SUN IN MY EYES

How clear is the night!
The early flowers of the Spring are showing
How warm is the wind!
I can feel your hair in my fingers flowing

Hey! You, you are the sun in my eyes!
And I wanna come to you like the empty sky!
So you can shine in me like the endless dawn
And I can hold you, hold you through the storm.

How blue is the sky!
In your eyes I see my life unfolding
my heart is beating and the world is on fire!
I wanna drink with you this cup I'm holding!

Hey! You, you are the sun in my eyes!
And I wanna come to you like the empty sky!
So you can shine in me like the endless dawn
And I can hold you, hold you through the storm.

MY DAMSEL HEART

With my damsel heart of secret art
And my Romany rings flashing in the dark,
You got angel eyes, you got a devil's smile,
And with my young maiden's charm I'll keep you for a while.

I'll come ride with you now that summer's in the glen
For you are the lord of all these merry men.
You've been gone so long you're more stranger than kin,
But if you come knocking on my door you know I'll let you in.

I know you through the mask you wear,
As you hold the shining room,
You are one of the hundred horseman,
Who ride beneath the moon!
You are one of the hundred horsemen!
Oh, I know who you are!
You are one of the hundred horsemen,
And you're riding on my heart.

With my damsel heart of secret art
And my Romany rings flashing in the dark,
You got angel eyes, you got a devil's smile,
With my young maiden's charm I'll keep you for a while.

I'll come lie with you now the fields are full of rain.
Oh, you take me like the wind and you heal me again,
With your sweet-tasting blade you cut my apple in the dark
Oh, you are the only one who ever reached my heart.

I know you through the mask you wear,
As you hold the shining room,
You are one of the hundred horseman,
Who ride beneath the moon!
You are one of the hundred horsemen!
Oh, I know who you are!
You are one of the hundred horsemen,
And you're riding on my heart.

With my damsel heart of secret art
And my Romany rings flashing in the dark,
You got angel eyes, you got a devil's smile,
With my young maiden's charm I'll keep you for a while.


EASY

Oh I don't know if its the rain falling
Theres something in my eyes like the shining sea
Oh I don't know if its a new love calling
There's something growing in me and it's strong and free

Oh its easy to tell you I love you!
Letting go of everything that's holding me
Cos you're a real man, you're warm and strong
And lying here beside you is where I belong
So come on come on I wanna taste the wild honey
Its sweet on your lips and its making me feel
At ease with the man in me

Keep on keep on keep on moving to me
With the grace and the rhythm of the warm rain falling
Keep on keep on keep on doing it to me
I got a feeling its gonna be a bright new morning

Oh its easy to tell you I love you!
Letting go of everything that's holding me
Cos you're a real man, you're warm and strong
And lying here beside you is where I belong
So come on come on, Oh baby don't tease me
You know there is nothing that ain't gonna please me

And lying here beside you is where I belong

Cos you're a real man, you're warm and strong
And lying here beside you is where I belong


SONG OF THE LAMP

Babe the night is warm! I'm coming home
Is where the heart is beating
Babe the moon is young! just like
We've never been gone, a vigil its been keeping.

See my lamplight its still burning!
Do you want to take a light from mine to feed your flame?
Though I've been gone so long, the light's been shining on
Guiding me home through the wind and the rain.

See the swallow fly, he's seeking
The warmth of clearer skies
Babe it's growing colder, the summer
The summer is nearly over.

See my lamplight its still burning!
Do you want to take a light from mine to feed your flame?
Though I've been gone so long, the light's been shining on
Guiding me home through the wind and the rain.

See my lamplight its still burning!
Do you want to take a light from mine to feed your flame?
Though I've been gone so long, the light's been shining on
Guiding me home through the wind and the rain.

See my lamplight its still burning!...


YOU SET MY GYPSY BLOOD FREE

Come be with me for I stand as I am
With the fear of the silence that freezes my soul
When the lights have gone down and the cold wind blows
Can you feel it around us? There's nowhere to go
Oh listen! I want you to know!

You set my gypsy blood free!
You waken the dancer in me!
I wanna run through the dew of the night
To bring flowers to lay at your feet!
I have nothing to give you to light up your life
But the wild call of heartbeat to heartbeat
That seeks to be one.

Come be with me for I stand as I am
With the wonder of skies and the endlessly changing
Deep moving of oceans in love with the moon
And the sweeping of starlight across the dark heavens
Oh listen! I want you to know!

You set my gypsy blood free!
You waken the dancer in me!
I wanna run through the dew of the night
To bring flowers to lay at your feet!
I have nothing to give you to light up your life
But the wild call of heartbeat to heartbeat
That seeks to be one.

You set my gypsy blood free!
You waken the dancer in me!
I wanna run through the dew of the night
To bring flowers to lay at your feet!
I have nothing to give you to light up your life
But the wild call of heartbeat to heartbeat
That seeks to be one.

I have nothing to give you to light up your life
But the wild call of heartbeat to heartbeat
That seeks to be one.

I have nothing to give you to light up your life
But the wild call of heartbeat to heartbeat
That seeks to be one.


WOMAN OF THE NIGHT

The sky is on fire with sweet desire!
The night is aflame, feel like I'm born again!
It's dark in the street but it feels like
Heaven is all around me!

Oh! I am a woman of the night.
Oh, Babe, I'm warm and tender.
Man of the light! Oh, I wanna surrender,
Oh, you'd be happy with me,
I really know how to set your fire!

The sky is on fire with sweet desire!
It's a magical life! And it's open invitation!
Under the sky, hey, won't you join in the celebration.

ANSWERING YOU

You're calling me! Across the endless snow!
You're moving to me everywhere I go!
Come with me on a sleigh ride.
See the diamonds in the snow
I'll gather them all like jewels for you
So you will know

Oh I am answering you! With every breath and every step I take
I am answering you! With every move and every sound I make
you are the morning wind on an open flame
You're the sun in my eyes, you're the healing rain.

You're calling me! Across the endless night
You're moving to me like a distant light
You waken me like the summer sun
Summoning the Spring to come
And everything I say and do, like this song
Is telling you

I am answering you! With every breath and every step I take
I am answering you! With every move and every sound I make
you are the morning wind on an open flame
You're the sun in my eyes, you're the healing rain.

You waken me like the summer sun
Summoning the Spring to come
And everything I say and do, like this song
Is telling you

I am answering you! With every breath and every step I take
I am answering you! With every move and every sound I make

I am answering you! With every breath and every step I take
I am answering you! With every move and every sound I make


LOVE OF A LIFETIME

The dawn wind is blowing, the night is nearly gone
I watch you softly sleeping, a child in the sun
I just want to wake you, tell you what I'm feeling

This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Please don't go! The nightingale's still singing in my soul
This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Want you to know you are with me everywhere I go.

I want to meet you in the summer,
Want to walk on golden sands,
Touching eyes, touching souls, touching of hands,
We may come and we may go
You're always where I am!

This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Please don't go! The nightingale's still singing in my soul
This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Want you to know you are with me everywhere I go.

The dawn wind is blowing, the night is nearly gone
I watch you softly sleeping, a child in the sun
I just want to wake you, tell you what I'm feeling

This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Please don't go! The nightingale is singing in my soul
This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Want you to know you are with me everywhere I go.

This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Want you to know you are with me everywhere I go.

This is the love of a lifetime,
It's like clear, rushing water,
Please don't go! The nightingale is singing in my soul


SONG OF THE HEALER

Sally:
We sail the rivers of the twilight sun
We have no harbour when our fishing's done
We have no home but that of the windy mountain,
Follow the sun till the day is done
And the moon's on fire!
We had a king,
Touched our eyes with healing!

We wander barefoot on the sunset sand,
The summer lingers on our master's hand,
He is a man of love he is a man of wisdom
Rising at dawn, keep the children warm
With his cloak of honey!
We had a king,
Touched our eyes with healing!

Brian Burrows:
We had a king,
Touched our eyes with healing!

We sail the rivers of the twilight sun
We have no harbour when our fishing's done
We have no home but that of the windy mountain,
Follow the sun till the day is done
And the moon's on fire!
We had a king,
Touched our eyes with healing!

We have no master now but the stormy ocean
Wild and free like the man of the sea
Who walked on the water
We had a king,
Touched our eyes with healing!

(This last half verse, appearing on the lyrics sheet,
was actually never included in the song.)
