One of a Kind
ROLL WITH THE OCEAN
FULL OF EMOTION
And If I were a dreamer
My heart would be the ocean
And if I were your lover
My heart would beat with emotion
I WISH YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I CARE
I WATCH THE WIND BLOW THROUGH YOUR HAIR
AND WAVES ARE ROLLING THROUGH MY MIND
SAYING YOU MY DEAR ARE ONE OF A KIND
YOU MY DEAR ARE ONE OF A KIND
And if I were the mighty sea
With the shore my only boundary
And if you decide that you need me
My waves will surely carry thee
My waves will surely carry thee
CHORUS
And if you were a white white dove
Then I could be the sun above
And if I were to light up your sky
Then to me you’d surely fly
Then to me you’d surely fly
CHORUS x 2
ROLL WITH THE OCEAN
FULL OF EMOTION
ROLL WITH THE OCEAN
LOVE AND DEVOTION

Higher

Higher
Higher than the stars that burn by night
Faster than the wind that aids my flight
Lost in darkness when shadows fall
Morning light has heard my call
Wings carry me across the plains
Weary, thoughts of home relieve the pain
I’ve miles to go but I’m cold and still
I’ve a burning heart and survive I will
I feel your ghost beside me
I fear the most I’ve let you down
Your heart beats on inside me
I feel it beating all around
Can you feel, can you feel the pain inside
Are they gone, are the shadows where it hides (it hides inside me)
Look again with open eyes,
Spread your wings take to the skies.
Lost in darkness when shadows fall
Morning light has heard my call
I’ve miles to go but I’m cold and still
I’ve your burning heart and survive I will
I’ve miles to go but I’m cold and still
I’ve your burning heart and survive I will

Searching for the Sun

Searching for the Sun
The sun was shining through the trees
I feel the air, the coldest breeze
Now what has begun
I’m searching for the sun
Darkness came with nightfall
Just came in and took it all
So now I’m on the run
Searching for the sun
When the day did first appear
The night-time was its only fear
Now the shadow holds the gun
I’ll never find the sun
I give up hope, I can’t go on
I’m cold and lost, the light is gone
The war was fought, the night has won
I’ll never find the sun
Day fall through
The night-time came and swallowed you
Even though there’s nothing left to do but carry on
We will carry on
Now the stars shine through the trees
I’m on my own, I’m on my knees
I’m still on the run
Searching for the sun
I’m growing weak, I must be strong
In the dark I don’t belong
So forever I shall run
Searching for the sun

Deirdre of the Sorrows

Deirdre of the Sorrows
The Red Branch Knights are set to kill
Or a prophesy shall be fulfilled
The child will grow to have the greatest beauty
That Ireland will ever see
For many men will come to die for she…
Is Deirdre of the Sorrows
Deirdre of the Sorrows
She was hidden by the king
For many fear the fate that you will bring
And the sadness that grows in you
May be broken it might seem
By a love that came in a dream
To Deirdre of the Sorrows
Deirdre of the Sorrows
Love could break the curse you bear
So guard your love and take good care
For battles raged for your perfect face
Was damned to bring about a fall from grace
While all you wanted was to be safe
Her tears did drop on rock and flow
The saddest story that I do know
The fairest lips there’s ever been
Yet no smile was ever seen
She was Deirdre of the Sorrows
Deirdre of the Sorrows
Deirdre of the Sorrows
Deirdre of the Sorrows
No sadder story do I know

What You Never Hear Can’t Hurt You
You are the one
You are my tune
The rising sun
The glowing moon
Its time to run
From there to here
Towards the sun
From darkest fear
WHAT YOU NEVER HEAR CAN’T HURT YOU
WHAT YOU NEVER SEE CAN’T BLIND YOUR EYES
BUT I WISH YOU WERE HERE BESIDE ME
FOR YOUR SMILE WOULD BRIGHTEN UP MY SKIES
Connect with now
And live today
Just take your bow
And walk away
What happened then
To loyalty
Waves never stop
Rolling endlessly
WHAT YOU NEVER HEAR CAN’T HURT YOU
WHAT YOU NEVER SEE CAN’T BLIND YOUR EYES
BUT I WISH YOU WERE HERE BESIDE ME
FOR YOUR SMILE WOULD BRIGHTEN UP MY SKIES
You must become
You can’t just be
The only one
To ever see
Some can’t decide
Some never will
Some dreams have died
Some live on still
WHAT YOU NEVER HEAR CAN’T HURT YOU
WHAT YOU NEVER SEE CAN’T BLIND YOUR EYES
BUT I WISH YOU WERE HERE BESIDE ME
FOR YOUR SMILE WOULD BRIGHTEN UP MY SKIES
LIKE THE FIRE THAT BURNS IN THE HEAVENS
YOU’RE THE FIRE THAT BURNS INSIDE MY MIND
JUST THE FURTHEST ROCK FROM SUNSHINE
YOU’VE JUST LOST YOUR PLANS
YOUR GRAND DESIGNS
When all is done
We’ll start again
And on you run
I still remain

Smooth Forms of Rock
05:25

Smooth Forms of rock
Smooth forms of rock curve forever on
In layers of red to green
And they darken down to the muddy earth below
Where you may never be seen
Patterns in the sand of where the water has been pulled away
Look like grainy earth, leading you
To the sea far off beneath the majestic sky
I cannot move no matter how I try
THIS FEELING IS TOTALLY NATURAL AND PURE
THERE IS NOONE HERE NOW, I AM ALL ALONE I’M SURE
THIS COULD BE ANYWHERE OR NOWHERE
THE ONLY THING I HEAR IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE AIR
THE AIR
MOVING EVERYWHERE
Strange things happen in the middle of the night
But I wish I was holding you
Tossing and turning and falling into your deepest sleep
There is nothing I would rather see or do
Patterns in the air of where your hair has been moving through
Look just crystalline, as you walk the line
To the sea far off beneath the majestic sky
I cannot move no matter how I try
THIS FEELING IS TOTALLY NATURAL AND PURE
THERE IS NOONE HERE NOW, I AM ALL ALONE I’M SURE
THIS COULD BE ANYWHERE OR NOWHERE
THE ONLY THING I HEAR IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE AIR
THE AIR
MOVING EVERYWHERE
There will be a time and a place
So we must move through this space
Find our place, take our time to roam
We’re coming home
THIS FEELING IS TOTALLY NATURAL AND PURE
THERE IS NOONE HERE NOW, I AM ALL ALONE I’M SURE
THIS COULD BE ANYWHERE OR NOWHERE
THE ONLY THING I HEAR IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE AIR
THE AIR
MOVING EVERYWHERE

The Days of Wonder
YOU’RE IN THE SUNSHINE
IN THE SHADOWS AND THE TREES
YOU’RE EVERYWHERE I LOOK
YOU’RE IN THE AIR I BREATHE
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF WONDER
YOU’RE IN THE SUNSHINE,
IN THE SHADOWS AND THE TREES
YOU’RE EVERYWHERE I LOOK
YOU’RE IN THE AIR I BREATHE
THESE ARE THE WAYS OF WONDER
There was a girl who thought her heart was spent
With one last breath she spread her wings and went
The air was cold, it whistled by her face
That girl will find her place
YOU’RE IN THE SUNSHINE
IN THE SHADOWS AND THE TREES
YOU’RE EVERYWHERE I LOOK
YOU’RE IN THE AIR I BREATHE
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF WONDER
YOU’RE IN THE SUNSHINE
IN THE SHADOWS AND THE TREES
YOU’RE EVERYWHERE I LOOK
YOU’RE IN THE AIR I BREATHE
THESE ARE THE WAYS OF WONDER
There was a boy who left without a trace
He met a girl from a very far-off place
She taught the boy that nothing is as it seems
That boy lived in his dreams
YOU’RE IN THE SUNSHINE
IN THE SHADOWS AND THE TREES
YOU’RE EVERYWHERE I LOOK
YOU’RE IN THE AIR I BREATHE
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF WONDER
AND FAR OFF ACROSS THE SEA
I BELIEVED IN YOU, AND YOU BELIEVED IN ME
YOU ARE LIKE ROLLING THUNDER
And in the end when all is done
We’ll be back where we started from
I think that if we see this through
I think that we can make our dreams…
make our dreams…
make our dreams…
make our dreams come true
YOU’RE IN THE SUNSHINE
IN THE SHADOWS AND THE TREES
YOU’RE EVERYWHERE I LOOK
YOU’RE IN THE AIR I BREATHE
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF WONDER
AND FAR OFF ACROSS THE SEA
I BELIEVED IN YOU, AND YOU BELIEVED IN ME
YOU ARE LIKE ROLLING THUNDER
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF WONDER
