Black
Black is the color of my true love's hair
All tumbling satin everywhere
If I should lose myself somewhere
My true love will find me there
Black is the color of my true love's eyes
Darker than a starless night
When I'm drowning and feeling blind
My true love will hold me tight
Black is the color of my true love's heart
Bleeding from Cupid's dart
We will never be apart
My true love and I in the dark
Spiral Back
Spiral back, we're sowing seeds
We walk at night
Slip by the houses in the dark
The path so many walked before
Whisper softly
We speak of things we could not say
Silenced once but never more
Spiral back, we're sowing seeds
Circle circle back in time
Tied together an unbroken line
The days grow long
We plant our dreams in the ground
Dancing with all those before us
Spiral back, we're sowing seeds
As we do now
So may it be done again
In the Garden
My heart reaches out
For you
For your heart
In the garden
My heart calls to you
Hear me
In your heart
In the garden

The Collector
My collection ever grows
Lovely faces like precious stones
All your lives are shining things
Floating through dreams on colored wings
If I could keep you with me
I would keep you with me
For all eternity
All your colors are part of me
Glowing brightly for all to see
If I could keep you with me
I would keep you with me
For all time
If I could keep you with me
I would keep you with me
For all eternity
I'll save you
I'll keep you
I love you
All of you
Pandora
Sometimes a small word has power
Sometimes it sets free a raging storm
And when the rain comes
One drop will start the flood
And wash it all away
I know that I should stop it all
But I can't stop myself
and these things can't stay the same
And when the rain comes
One drop will start the flood
And everything goes away
in the crashing waves
One drop will start the flood
And wash it all away
Let Go
Some things don't die
They fade away into the distance
Turn into dreams
Stories of the past
That inspire the future
You will speak of this one day
All of my lives come and go
Ever shaping the world I know
Everything will change
What was once will be no more
And go away
Shifting its shape into a memory
You will speak of this one day
All of my lives come and go
Ever shaping the world I know
Spinning and changing in ebb and flow
Take a breath and then gently let go
Mirrorworld
I've gone away and come back changed
Found myself in this strange place
A land of fire and and of dust
Removed from place and time
Dancing in spinning flames
Shaping with thoughts and hands
Feel the power all around
Energy from singing hearts
Falling into the future
Falling into the past
Everywhere and yet nowhere
Into the mirrorworld
Looking out from this side
And then never looking back
Together we all share
The one thing that will save our world
Falling into the future
Falling into the past
Everywhere and yet nowhere
Into the mirrorworld
All around are fire and dust
All around are light and love
Vision
Look inside into yourself
Tell me what you see
And is it you?
I'm the one who reaches through the scars around your heart
I'm the one who sees your beauty shining in the dark
You know the things that they told you
Were not true after all
Now shed your outside skin
And open up your eyes
I'm the one who reaches through the scars around your heart
I'm the one who sees your beauty shining in the dark
Lift your face and look into my eyes
I'm the one who knows who you are inside
All my tears will wash away the pain
Lift your face and look into my eyes
Green Velvet
We're talking in the darkened room
Candles flicker all around
And we're wrapped in green velvet
You're leaning close, whispering
Lips brushing on my ear
And we're wrapped in green velvet
You speak of darkness and decay
And how the world will always change
And beauty is that that everything changes
The nights are longer than before
I still have much to learn
Before the darkness comes there is
Just one candle left to burn
And we're wrapped in green velvet
