Can you feel it coming? Feel it in the wind. Feel it bearing down upon you like the weight of all your sins. Can you feel it coming? Change comes for us all. When you feel that wind bear down, you know the time has come. First was the wind. It came into my heart, it made me feel again. First was the wind. It came and i knew there was nothing to do. For all things change in the wind. The walls we build they crumble. Even walls so high we use the walls to hide ourselves, but the truth blows in in time. The walls we build they crumble, even walls so high, we use the walls to hide true selves but the truth blows in in time.

Moon, Moon, on the water, I've been taken for your daughter. Moon, Moon on the water, lay me down upon your alter. Take that light make it right, the sun will shine it's way too bright. On this night I will be free, just you look and you will see. You move all tides, you see all sides, you're like my mother of the night. Take this piece from me this eve and can we live forever please?

Long Day 02:57
I made my money and paid my rent, my time this day has all been spent. End of the day that I thought would never end. I'm so tired that I only want to send, myself into a dream that somehow mends the emptiness in my soul OH! I'm not dumb but I can't understand how a girl supposed to come up by the work of her hands. 'Cause at the end of the day all I want is my man and a place that I can lay my weary head.

Oh I'm leaving now on the south bound train now. Just gotta get away. I'm going underground, you can't stop me now, and I may be gone for days, OH! I may be gone for many a day! Oh the train rolls up hear the whistle blow, sounds like freedom calling to my soul, 'cause I can't take no more no more. Gotta go where I know that I can be alone. Oh I ain't been to the doctor 'cause I know what he'd say, that this hair of mine is gonna turn to grey, I'm gonna simmer down I'm gonna cool off for a while, I ain't coming back until I come with a smile, oh - I ain't coming back without a reason to smile. Oh! I ain't gone forever just until it's through. This blowing over hurricane that follows us two. I ain't gone forever don't you worry or fret. I'll be back rolling on in just when you least expect. Don't know when I'm coming home, don't know how I'll get there, all I know is I got to go, although I don't know where. Although I don't know where.

Gonna be another sunrise in this city, gonna be another sunrise in this town. Gonna be another sunrise in this city so I know I can't let the dark night bring me down. I know I can't let the dark night bring me down. They say falling's for the sake of the rising. Oh you can fall so far. They say that falling's for the sake of the rising. Don't you forget to follow your star. They say falling's for the sake of the rising. I've fallen so far. They say falling's for the sake of the rising. Don't you forget who you are.

Oh you stir me up, take me on a ride, stir me up, deep down inside, you stir me up, skies are blue, but they turn stormy when I get with you - ooh. Sometimes I wonder, yeah I wonder, what makes you do the things you do. The more I wonder, yeah I wonder, the more I think I don't get you. I've got the stormy day blues. Raining in my heart, I've got the stormy day blues.

I awoke one morning feeling sadness deep and loss. I knew it meant I'd have to change every thing I'd got. It laid on me so heavy down. I knew I'd have just one chance to break away. I had to make myself anew and that meant that I had to go I had to leave my everything and go back to the winter snow. It came upon me suddenly though slowly it crept in. There were so many reasons why, staying was a sin. I felt like coal a smoldering, about to go so cold the fire's just gone out. And I found myself in darkness to let spring come again. Sometimes the best laid planing, it can go awry. And before you know what's happening you're looking to the skies. I'd like to stay in paradise, but I can't chain my spirit if it wants to go.
8.
You, made me change my mind. Just when I begged the universe, for time alone to heal and hurt, just when I thought a hundred years of solitude were what I'd do. I can't go on not loving you, it's something that I've gotta do, I didn't know the missing piece could be so simple me and you. My friends warned me not to make plans to be alone, in this city where life moves fast. I had so many plans to be alone, I'm so glad they didn't last. There's beauty to see in the world if you see with your heart wide open. When our kind of friendship comes along, it's more than just words spoken.

Island Girl 03:55
You could call it destiny that took me far away. But now I know, that it was fate, that brought me back today. From the time I left my island home, I knew right from the start. That the sand and skies the ocean waves would be always in my heart. These are the things, that brought me home. These are the things that make me feel like I can face the world. These are the things that brought me home. These are the things that make me an island girl. It's the way I feel at sunset, walking down the beach. It's the way I feel, when I breathe the gentle air with ease. It's the way my soul is healing, in the mana of the earth. It's the endless skies the endless seas and a tiny bit of turf.
