A Song About Fog
The songs it brings, the stories it carries C Am F
Through the dark pearls of night and the star of day C G
Bring forth thy prize, oh traveling old one C Am F
To carry my song far and wide C G C
The footfalls of those who travel through ages C Am F
Scattered dreams drifting in on the traveling veil C G
The world washed away, leaving only their memories C Am F
But Old One, you whisper their tales C G C
You take up my hand for to wander a while
Coming to understand in each story we tell
You breathe down the road, a silvery ocean
Now I too am so lovingly held C G C

Bloodletting
There’s a crack in the mirror 0 3 2 1
and a bloodstain on the bed There’s a crack in the mirror
and a bloodstain on the bed O you were a vampire
And baby I’m walking dead
O you were a vampire and baby
And baby I’m walking dead
I got the ways and means 0 3 5 8
to New Orleans I’m going
down by the river
where it’s warm and green
I’m gonna have drink
and walk around
I got a lot to think about oh yeah
There’s a rocking chair by the window down the hall
I hear something there in the shadow down the hall
O you were a vampire and now I am nothing at all
O you were a vampire and now I am nothing at all
I got the ways and means
to New Orleans I’m going
down by the river
where it’s warm and green
I’m gonna have drink
and walk around
I got a lot to think about oh yeah
They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night
They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night
They were naked as the day they were born skin all bone-china white
O you were a vampire and I may never see the light
Calvin's Girl
Fireside, whisperin’
On an autumn breeze
Voices singing through the snow
Come along with me
You wear the starlight well
But you long now for the sea
I promise nothing but my hand
Come along with me
You worked your way up to the top
Of all there was to be
You climbed so high but then looked up
There’s so much more to see
I promise you no mountains
I hold only one key
And that’s to laugh along the way
Come along with me…
To every game of Calvinball
To Invisibility
From transmogrification
Come along with me
We’re off on high adventure
But we’ll still be home for tea
Dinosaurs and jet pack wings
Come along, come along with me…
(Repeat for 2 revolutions, then wait 1)
The years pass by like paper planes
You give her hand to me
I promise to take care of her
As you once did or me
You never let your childhood go
And so neither will we
I see you in your daughter’s eyes
Calvin’s girl, come along with me…
Caravan
It started with an email Wednesday night G C D
By Thursday morning we had a site just right
By Thursday night we’ve pack up the show
By Friday morning we were ready to go
We all met at my front door
We passed around the maps and snacks
and pet the cats once more
Then we piled into everything that ran
And we ran off for a weekend on the land
Grab your bag and come along G D
We’re an army and we’re going strong G C D G
We’ll take the road that we’ve never seen G C D G
And we’ll know it when we get there G C
In Good Company D G (back to verse)
From dusk until dawn we’re singing our songs
Sharing old stories and laughing along
The moon smiling down, the sun shining bright
And even the thunder can’t ruin our night
We dance as the rain comes pouring down
Gypsies of each walk of life, all around
The fire burning keeps us warm
As we watch it come and watch it go
We dance to the storm
Grab your bag and come along G D
We’re an army and we’re going strong G C D G
We’ll take the road that we’ve never seen G C D G
And we’ll know it when we get there G C
In Good Company D G (back to verse)
Sunday morning we thank the land
For giving shelter to our merry band
We pack the cars and say good bye
To a place that holds so many memories
Just when we think the story ends, I ask:
“Hey, what are you guys doing next weekend?”
Grab your bag and come along G D
We’re an army and we’re going strong G C D G
We’ll take the road that we’ve never seen G C D G
And we’ll know it when we get there G C
In Good Company D G (back to verse)
Catnyp
We all know the lion statues
Of the library
Protectors of the knowledge held inside
But if you scratch the right one
Just behind the ear
Blue eyes show you where the secrets lie
Catnyp came to life one night
Along with all the Pages
Paper dolls with flat and inky smiles
The Pages bring the books to you
Day and night, two by two
But Catnyp tells the mice just what to find…
Battles or Biography
Muggles or geography
Step just right and you will see
A cat caught in a library
Waterfalls of history
Of truth and archeology
Of magic and of mystery
The Hidden Library….
In the windows you’ll see lantern light
Drifting through the night
For midnight is the busiest of hours
The Fair folk are calling books
Of Life and death and dreaming
And the love that every blackened heart desires
Catnyp is the search engine,
The stone card catalog
And his results come out as mice and rooks
And if you find the right one
The mice will tell you stories
Of everyone who’s ever held their book.

Goblins in the Reading Room
Mint grows in the rugs
Salamanders in the lamps
Pixies keep the coffee mugs
Dwarven maidens make the tea
And make the garden grow
But Catnyp keeps the naughty ones
Frozen faces all in a row
As Pages fly the stacks hum softly
Songs long forgot
And to their voices Catnyp always smiles
For when no one is looking,
He prowls into their keep
To preen and purr and join their song a while
Slip through the cracks, behind a door
Or backwards through an archway
And bring along a treat fit for a cat
Mind your manners, and quiet, please
And never go into the stacks
Or you might find yourself scolded by a magic marble cat….

Child Of Stars
Child of stars, walkin by the ocean side
Trying to touch the moon again
I asked can I walk with you
In this place that may never be my home again

And we walked, down by the water
And we walked, down by the water
Slow we drifted down into the rolling waves,
He reached out to his friend
And as he sank he smiled at me and from his bone white hands
He brought alive his brothers in the darkened waves again
And we walked, down by the water
And we walked, down by the water
Bridge
They strap me to an 87 megaton bomb C G D G
Sending me and my team straight out to the stars C G D G
My last night on earth was spent with a a man C G D G
Going my way D G
He was trying to get home as I was running away C G D G
But Fate had us going to the very same place C G D G
He taught me that home isn't where you are C G D G
But where you wanna stay D G
Driving out into the night I caught a glimpse of him
Riding shotgun next to me on a single moonbeam
I said a little thank you for letting me along
His journey, and he on mine
And we walked, down by the water
And we walked, down by the water
Circus of Dreams
Come One, Come all, to the carnival
Where embers and cinnamon play
Come in and wander, over and under
While paper birds sing in their cage
Through tents in stripes of black and white
You’ll find wonders both magic and strange
Be assured if you wish to return
We’re only a wish away
Chorus:
For you see, my dear
It’s oh so clear
Nothing’s quite as it seems
For with the dawn we will be gone
For we are the Circus of dreams
A willow tree sighs as blue butterflies
Hover round a silver flame
Unfinished statues still captured in stone
Look closely, you might see them change
Wishes captured and written on leaves
As red as the Harvest moon
Lions grin and fires spin
In the colors of a pale afternoon
Chorus
For you see, my dear
It’s why we’re here
Nothing’s quite as it seems
For with the dawn we will be gone
For we are the Circus of dreams
Candles burn down and firelight dies
the dawn pulls its way to the sky
And with its first light our fancy takes flight
For we are the creatures of night
But as silence sets over the path
you may look back to see
a pair of green and glowing eyes
staring back with glee
Chorus
For you see, my dear
It’s oh so clear
Nothing’s quite as it seems
For with the dawn we will be gone
For we are the Circus of dreams
Yes with the dawn we will be gone
For we are the circus of dreams
Clockwise
Tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, Tick tock
Upon the mantle of the lordly sage
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Stands a clock of masterful make
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Tiny bells singing
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Silver pendulum swinging
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Midnight strikes every night
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Blackwood smiles in new moon’s light
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Follow the hands slowly round
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
It moves with a life all its own
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Chorus
Puzzle piece, Masterpiece
The pendulum march leads the way
The clock falls apart as its coming to life
As time slips away
Tiny books within the wood
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Keep the stories, bad and good
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Sit when the clock strikes for tea
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Gently pouring cups for three
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Tiny princess in silver gears
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Awaits her prince with silver tears
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Grey harlequin where a cuckoo might be
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Juggles silver balls, one, two three
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
She collects them, you see….
Chorus
The pieces move with every hour
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
From dragon’s tail to perfect flower
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Figures dancing, rearrange
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Hours pass for every change
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
In morning light the changes wane
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
By noon it’s just a clock again
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
But dusk will set the dance anew
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
And the blackwood clock begins to move
(Tick tock, Tick tock)
Take care, or the dance may take you, too!
Chorus

BONG
Companion
I sit and wait beside the only tree for miles
The path before me barely visible at night
I wait there patiently alongside
As one by one they all come by
Seekers trying to find their way along
Em D (repeats)
I ride the winds on wings of black and heather
I never know where they all go, just where they’ve been
I have to say it wasn’t always like this
But that’s a life that I don’t miss
I hold the moment for all those who need just one
Chorus:
For I am the Guardian, and I am the Guide C D (repeats)
For all who journey here, I walk beside
I pass along all the things I learned
Cause nobody can know just where the story turns
Then a young man came with heart so heavy
Looking for a way to make it all make sense
I rode the top of the bag he had on
He had the tools he needed all along
He just needed a companion on the way
A girl danced through the misty shade
She liked my voice as I kept her rhythm true
She didn’t know just where this road might lead
But she was happy for the company
So I gave her one feather to remember
Chorus:
Yes I’m the Guardian, and I’m the Guide
I keep them safe from where the shadows hide
The choices that they make are on their own
But I’m always there to make sure they don’t walk this road alone
Then a flutter of wings caught my attention
A glow of white landed on the darkened road
He looked around and then he smiled at me
He came to sit with me beside my tree
And when I heard the footsteps on the path, I knew
Chorus:
That we are Guardians, and we are the Guides
For all who journey here, we walk beside
We pass along all the things we learned
Cause nobody can know just where the story turns
Yes we are Guardians, and we are Guides
We keep them safe from where the shadows hide
The choices that they make are on their own
But We’re always there to make sure no one walks alone Em D x2
And now we know that we’ll never be alone C D Em D x2 Em
Corvus
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
Yeah, I’m a real night-crawler come out in the day
Watching up and down the road for my next meal
Roadkill will do just fine
Or a mouse that the cat couldn’t find
Cause I’m a real tough cookie with a story on my back
I gotta certain something and a quip for every quill
Hold still, and you just might
Catch me on my next flight
Won’t you come and join me for a dance, my dear?
And learn a trick or two along the way
Never be afraid to let your voice be heard
We’ll dance your fear of flying right away
(What goes up must come down, but getting up there’s half the fun)
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
In a world where anything can be thrown away
I got my pick of the litter
Pick it out, pick it up, take it away
Sweet talk and a squawk in every work I say
Oh brother, won’t you come out and play
Murder’s not a dirty word where I’m from
I hold space for shadows, spinning yarns in mid air
Here kitty kitty with a few lives to spare
Doesn’t mean you wanna take me on for that mouse right there…
(Fuzzball never knew what hit him…)
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
So in the early mornin’ when the fog’s rollin’ in
Keep an eye on the treetops, cause if I’m sittin’ in
You’ll know that it’s just another night on the town
For a winged scrounger who sure gets around
Won’t you come and join me for a dance, my dear?
And learn a trick or two along the way
Never be afraid to let your voice be heard
We’ll dance your fear of flying right away
(Come on up and see me sometime and stay for a squawk…)
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow
Living in the places where the shadows go
Critters
Garden rows, tinkling bells
Sparkly stones to play on
But if harm should ever come to her
Out come the nightmare guns
Our lady love, she dreams us real
And we love her right back
But if you wanna date her, we better like you
Or you’re not coming back!
Chorus:
In the plumbing, in the walls
Between the books and cracks
We’re the eyes that you feel watching
Just behind your back
We love our dancing lady
We’d follow her through hell
And any who annoy our love
We’ll take them there as well
She dances in the firelight
We dance within the flame
She doesn’t know we live here, too
But she somehow knows our name
Chorus:
Small and wiley, dark and fast
We’re legion through and through
We love our dancing lady
And you better love her, too!
>>>Insert Critters here<<<
Bridge:
Hair barrets go missing
Keys just disappear
A dream once filled with color
Washes grey with darkest fear
We’re eye for eye, tooth for tooth
We’ll never be too tame
For everyone who hurts her
Is a target for our games
Verse:
Come dancing with our lady
And we’ll never do you harm
And we promise not to nip your toes
If you leave a shiny charm
And so we keep our lady safe
To dance and sing each day
But keep your darker thoughts from her
Or we’ll come out to play
Chorus:
In the plumbing, in the walls
Between the books and cracks
We’re the eyes that you feel watching
Just behind your back
Small and wiley, dark and fast
We’re legion through and through
We love our dancing lady
And you better love her, too!
The Critters
Buttonhole
Buttonhole is the shy one
Some doubt that she exists
But if you leave out lemon peel
She simply can't resist
Fauna
Little Fauna lives for storms
Be they snow or rain
Her axe always keeps her safe
When lightning comes to play
She rearranges everything
From shells to spoons to stone
And where you'll find the shampoo next
Only Buttonhole knows
She spins around like a carousel
To a rhythm all her own
Her axe is sharp and jagged
And older than she knows
The spirit house upon the shelf
Is where she makes her home
and if any try to talk to her
She says, "I want to be alone."
Static follows her everywhere
As she runs about the house
But her aim is true when scaring off
Every bug and mouse
Dust Bunny
Dust bunny is our Captain
He keeps us all in line
And he always keeps his watch tight
As he is keeper of our Time
Firrigard, the Christmas Critter
When the Christmas tree comes
Firrigard comes to life
He swings about like Tarzan
from the ornaments and lights
He runs us forward backward round
Til every deed is done
Then makes sure we all have a perfect
Seat to watch the fun
He reties all the ribbons
Into impossible bows
And he loves to play matchmaker
By moving the Mistletoe
He makes us laugh, he makes us growl
He keeps us fit to stalk and howl
And he always keeps the sharpest eye
Beneath his heather cowl
He spices all the cider
whether you want it or not
And he nips just a spoonful
Just as long as its hot
Esler
You're lucky if you see young Esler
More than once or twice
She's light of foot with foxie ears
And a nose for every spice
Magdalen T. Shrout
Back in the coat closet
You’ll find Magdalen T. Shrout
And whenever there’s a party
That’s when she’s about
Whenever peppers are hung to dry
It always make her bolder
So never mind when you hear a rattling
In the wooden spoon holder
She nicks the gloves folks leave behind
But not just on a whim
She unravels the woven ones
And knits them up again
The frying pan is her pride and joy
Cast iron, perfect for eggs
But don't forget to wash it out
Or she'll throw beans at your head!
For Magdalen makes all the clothes
For Dust Bunny and his band
So if you’re ever at these parties
Go ahead, give her a ‘hand’
The Critters
Orpheus
In the attic you'll find Orpheus
the oldest of our band
He's keeper of the stories and the songs of the clan
Taka
Taka looks like an old librarian
From Victorian Hyde Park
But don’t let the bouffant fool you
Those fangs are razor sharp
Keep an eye to the oak out front
For a squirrel of purest white
He runs errands for Orpheus
But no one knows quite why!
She loves the wing chimes in the hall
And collects fresh water shells
And our lady has stopped wondering
Why the books reshelve themselves
At midnight you may hear a voice
Like dust on a gravel road
You may hear your name in a song
You're not sure how you know
They all go back in order
Each volume in its place
But if you put one back wrong
She just might eat your face
Pickles
Pickles got left in the fridge one day
He never did that again
But he earned his name and used it well
To our sweet lady’s ends
Whizzer
Whizzer lives in the bathroom sink
Not under it, in the drain
He moved in when she replaced the floor
And never moved out again
Though the scent of dill does follow him
To table, hall and toaster
Believe me when I tell you
What he does is never kosher
He blesses all the band-aids
He sleeps with his helmet lit
He tunnels through the garden
To make the seeds all fit
He sings the ice in cups to crack
He whistles cats to pounce
And he’s the one who makes the glasses
Not break, but bounce
He’s brown with dirt and minty fresh
He’s quick with a pebble, too
So careful of the flowers
Or you’ll find one in your shoe
Sparkle
Sparkle lives in the far right cupboard
She's keeper of the tea
So when the kettle's boiling
You know just where she'll be
Never ask what's in your cup
If you're sick or feeling down
just know that once you finish it
you're sure to come around
For she always brews the tea you need
Black, Green, Sweet, or spice
So no matter which tea you choose
You'll never get the same once twice!
Daughter Of The Red
Cast the bones, read the stones
Working for the dead
Nothing too unusual
Just a little taste of red.
Walking with a fearsome sight
Green eyes take me in
10 of 6 does mark the spot
With a perfect hat and a gleeful grin
We’re just Envy green and Cinnamon
Moving through the morning
Moving through the morning
Followed by the rabbit
Stalked along the way
Not sure what he’s looking for
But he left the white coat home today
He’s one of mother’s faithful
Caught somewhere in between
But I guess that’s what happens when
You’re the new Red Queen (yes, well)
The Doormouse raised his sleepy head
Told me to beware
The Jabberwock lives on this block
And he doesn’t play fair, well
Envy green and Cinnamon
Moving through the morning
Moving through the morning
Bridge:
Mama loved the sound of her own voice,
She wanted things her way
But sooner or later I always knew
That the Bandersnatch would have his day
Then that day came and she was gone
But no tear of mine was shed
For a green-eyed man, he took my hand
For my hatted love, I wear the red
East or West, up or down
We grow, we shrink, we fall
But a single smile against the dark
Disappears, despite it all
Verse:
So we make it through as best we can,
Serving queen and kingdom, all
But keep an eye to the setting sun
If a hood and hat should come to call
We're just Envy Green and Cinnamon
Moving through the morning
Moving through the morning
Disenchanted
A blessing or a curse of golden hair
I never wanted C D
A golden stair you asked for Em
Every single day C D
Em
You locked me in here Em
But you couldn’t take the moonlight C D
And now I’m cutting loose to find Em
All the things that you never taught me C D
You can keep my hair G
I don’t need it to feel pretty C D
You can keep my tower G
I don’t need it to be strong C D
I’m racing out to find the place G
where the sun and the moon C D
Have coffee when you can’t see Em C
either one at all D
G C D
I’ve tied the only thing Em
you loved about me to the window
I’m down and gone and Em
leaving all I know behind C D
I hitched a ride Em
on a story all my own C D
And when the sun comes up Em
Never been so happy to be blinded
C D
C D
So I’ll keep running Em
Until I find an ocean Am
Then hop a ship and find C
what’s on the other side D
I’ll race any dream Em
I find along the way Am
I’ll never know what might have been
But that’s all right D
C
So many years Am
spent silent and afraid G
But my wings are on the open road
And I’m learning how to soar D
I never asked to be your precious
Princess, pet, or puppet C D
Call me selfish, call me immature
And call me vain C D
C
G C D Twice
Em
Em
I’ll never stop until Em
I hit that far horizon C D
Even if I never make it Em
The ride is worth the price I pay so…
C D
You can keep my hair G
I don’t need it to feel pretty C D
You can keep my tower G
I don’t need it to be strong C D
I’m racing out to find the place G
where the sun and the moon C D
Have coffee when you can’t see Em
either one at all C D
I’m running with both arms open G
to what comes my way C D
I just can’t stop G
And I don’t ever want to try C D
I broke the skin and found the colors G
Beyond black and white C D
And I no longer care if you get mad… Em C
Cause I’m chasing down the morning C
And into the world I fall… D
G C D Twice
Having coffee with the Sun and Moon Em
and never looking back at all.. C D G
The Dreaming
Dreamtime is where song and story
Pass from hand to hand
Ages live on in each child
Who sees to understand
The dream of man
is that we think that we're in charge
Narrating all that we see
Near and far
But those long before us us
Knew better the way
The sacred rock stays the same
Each must walk to know their way
When not all ways are known
Walkabout will test and tell you
What you need to grow
Tongues and faces change in time
But the Dreaming needs no mask
It gathers all into the story
That echoes distant past
The Dreaming has lasted
10k years
And with each story it grows
But will we ever speak it's secrets
Only the Dreaming knows
Drink of water run for ages
Dance to the tune of flame
Know your story's never in vain
The Dreaming keeps you safe
For when you're gone the Dreaming stays
Family
The trees, they whisper
What do they say?
You look to me and smile
“You’ll know someday.”
You find a Yew tree
You sit and sigh
I hold your hand
And just cry
Hair of sunrise
Mine of night
All I remember
Is your smile, so bright
I sing there with you
You drift away
Show me, for I
Know not the way
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
I watch in wonder
As Magic breathes
Wherever you are near
Secrets you weave
I return alone
And at my door
A little girl in rags
Shivering cold
The years, they leave us
One day you know
You take my hand and
We walk one time more
Her hair a sunrise
Grass green are her eyes
I give a secret smile
For I know why
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
Teach me, Mother
I’ll teach her, Mother
I’ll teach her, Mother
I’ll teach her, Mother
Follow That Road
If you're coming in the summer, you'd be better to split off on Thirty-Five A D
There's the Starlight Drive-In Movie, on your left, just beyond the county line A D
Right after that, you'll see two silos. One is silver; one is blue. D A
'Bout a quarter mile further, make a left onto Highway Forty-Two. A D E
Then follow that road, cornfields just as far as you can see. A D
Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me.
A D
If you're drivin' by in autumn, you should follow up the river to Bear Lake. A D
That's the time to see the colors. There's an old covered bridge you'll want to take. A D
Late at night, be careful. Just be sure to look for deer out on the road. D A
And if it's early in the morning, sometimes it gets foggy. Take it slow. A D E
But follow that road, sugar maples far as you can see. A D
Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me.
A D
If you get the notion in December to drop by for just a day, A D
There's that tiny little road that no one knows about. It's safe to go that way. A D
It's up between two fields, so the sunlight melts the ice by afternoon. D A
You'll see two houses by the fields. Someone's always there. If not, they'll be back soon. A D
E
So follow that road, snowdrifts just as far as you can see. A D
Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me.
A D
BRIDGE
You'll remember in the springtime how the puddles look like pieces of the sky, A D
Fallen down by the roadside to delight any stranger passing by. A D
The softness of the grass on Raven Hill where we counted stars at night-- D A
You must know how much I miss you, and that any way you get here is all right. A D E
Just follow that road, wildflowers just as far as you can see. A D
Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me.

Verse 1
Deep in London's beating heart Em
Lies a wall Cm Bm
A locked door it be Em

For if the wall steps aside Em
Be not afraid of what you see Cm Bm

Chorus
You'll find all shapes and sizes Cm
If you go into the dream Bm Em

With the scent of smoke

Step aside fool Em
She's too much woman for you Cm Bm

About a witch's forked tongue Cm Bm Em Cm Bm

She burns you down Em
brings your spirit to the brink Cm Bm
Then moves your feet into a swing Cm
That only the deepest kiss defeats Cm Bm Em
Well, aren't you sweet....

If I Were The Rain
If I were the rain, if I were the rain
Would I be able to reconnect the pieces of your broken heart
The way the rain connects the earth and sky?
If I were the rain, if I were the rain
Would you catch me every time I fell down
Catch me like a raindrop in your hand
If I were a star, if I were a star
I’d fall into your dreams and light your way
The way a star is company to the moon
If I were a star, if I were a star
Would you come to visit me in the night
Would you remember me when the clouds
block you from my sight
If I were a tree, if I were a tree
Would I reach deep enough to touch you when you’re gone
Across the land, across the sea, and far beyond
If I were a tree, if I were a tree,
Would you catch my leaves upon the winds
in colors of red and brown
Bits of me to take and call your own
Lighthouse
Verse: G D G D
A rover had my father been
And I bound for the sea
But though I mounted up to sail
One did wait for me
Chorus: A D G D, A D G
A lighthouse, reaching out
As through the dark I roam
A beacon through uncharted seas
Showing me the way home
Twas on my third day out at sea
She tossed our way a squall
But through her harshest wind and rain
A beam of light did call
Chorus: A D G D, A D G
A lighthouse, reaching out
As through the dark I roam
A beacon through uncharted seas
Showing me the way home
Many seasons, many years
A rover I became
But there’s no greater sight to see
Than a light upon her waves
Bridge: D A G D (ends on G 2nd time)
Though the sea had always held my soul
My heart was bound ashore
If either mistress had her way
The other would be no more
At last my sailing days were done
A harborin’ no more
But though I leave, I find at last
A smile at my door
Chorus: A D G D, A D G
A lighthouse, reaching out
As through the dark I roam
A beacon through uncharted seas
Showing me the way home
Chorus repeat, final line:
A lighthouse, to call my home (ends on D)

The Narrow Way
I watch the rats as they run by
I follow the sound as voices cry
Men, women, young and old
Trying to escape the cold
The narrow way, no longer flat
Drifting down to pull me back
The cold it licks my every step
Doesn’t matter how far I get
The longest night
That’s ever been
The Narrow Way
It pulls you in
The floor it rises, I try to climb
The ceiling cracks, I’m out of time
The walls they tilt as I start to slip
The darkness creeps as I lose my grip
My legs can’t move the water so high
The lights let go and so do I
The darkness holds me deep and still
Down ‘til I don’t feel the chill
No light, no air
No time, no sound
We’re going down
Into the Narrow Way
Out Of The Light
AFCG
In the light of the full moon you came to me
Showed me all your world was, and all I could be
A Foundling child, embraced by a Fae
But you never told me, “Say goodbye to the day.”
I’d never see the sun that day
Never seen the sun since that day
You took up my hand, took me out of the light
And together we wandered the ever twilight
But your world was never mine, we knew this day would come
It was always we two, now I’m down to one
Gonna see the sun today. I wanna see the sun today
It’s autumn leaves on fire, stretched wide ‘cross the sky
But as I watch the twilight end, I can feel your good-bye
I look to the wind, will I see you again?
But the wind doesn’t answer, will it ever again?
But I saw the sun today, yes I saw the sun today
You defied your own people to take me in
And for seven long years we remained in your glen
Seven more years, a wandering dream
From dragon to ocean, to our house by the stream
Your sword would lead us, my staff just behind
And years passed like stardust in the endless night
I was daughter and sister, partner and kin
You were father and brother, teacher and friend
I awake every morn to the sun on my face
And I still hear your laughter far away from that place
And I wonder if you think of me in the soft summer rain
And I wonder if you’d want me if I came home again
Cause you’re worth the sun, any day
And I’m coming home to stay
End on A

She Moved Through The Faire
My young love said to me, my mother won´t mind
And my father won´t slight you for your lack of kine,
And she stepped away from me and this she did say,
It will not be long love ´til our wedding day.
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair,
And fondly I watched her move here and move there,
Then she went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying no two were e´er wed,
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt it last night that my young love came in,
So softly she entered her feet made no din,
She came close beside me and this she did say,
It will not be long love ´til our wedding day.

Snow White, Red Road
The queen would have her head Em
For she could not have her power Em

A child lighting candles Em
with a touch and a thought Em
Followed when the winds called her name C D
Her courage as dry Em

Stream of Consciousness
Catching leaves in autumn
Carry them away
Tripping over stones as
I’m moving on my way
I know each rock and pebble
Known the mountain all my life
I skip under the sunlight
Give the rain a home at night
Bubble, tumble
Wash it all away…
People try to know me
A few may know my name
But my bottom’s deep and my song is wide
Come back, I’m not the same
Take from me
What you need
You always know
Just where I’ll be
Waving to the moonlight,
as she watches far away
Solo over verse
Been wished upon a thousand time
There’ll be a thousand more
And I hold each wish close until
It’s ready for the shore
Faces on my surface
I remember every smile
I keep their memory to keep me warm
In Winter’s chill awhile
I change with every season
I grow with every day
The years may pass me by but I
Will always come to play
So if you want to sing with me
Or simply share some shade
Come take a dip along the trip
Or even come to stay
Bubble, tumble
Wash it all away
Waving to the moonlight,
As she watches far away

Forgotten days, rusty keys Am Aadd9
Grey and dusty windows
A broken door locked
And left long behind
A legend out of fashion
Left out in the cold
Lost along the barren wastes of time
Needing a new face to bring it back to life
Am Aadd9 A11
A fairie tale, an elvish song Cmaj7 Em Aadd9
Passed out of human memory
A story hushed
And left along the way
But fairie tales are living things
That never have an ending
An open door can be walked through both ways
Every tale has something left to say Hold Cmaj7
Time is not a heartbeat Am Aadd9
It’s a never-ending dance
As gods and monsters sail across the sky
It moves the feet of everything
All life and death entranced
Watch them journey on across the night
And everywhere the story’s left behind…

Sacred broken fantasies 7 5
But how can you say goodbye
To something that was never meant to die

The stars become the messengers Am Aadd9
And when those stars fall down
They echo all the stories in their care
The boys and girls who catch them
Become the bards and minstrels
Who spread the stories out for all to share
But listen close or you’ll never hear them there Am Aadd9 A11

(We are singers of the rain)
(Together)
Holding on to learn to fly
Digging in to stand my ground
Sisters of water dancing
Brothers of fire sing
(Beneath the gaze of sorrow)
(Courage fleeting in the night)
(Dancing on the riverside)
(sing)
Chorus:
Weave them together
Weave them together
Weave them together
Bring them together
(We are Children of the moonlight)
(Dancing to the fire)
(We are singers of the rain)
(Together)
Bridge:
Misty hours of dreaming
Washes over green and gold
Being the dance and the dancer
One shining moment to hold
(dreaming)
(Gold and silver drift away)
(Bring the morning onward)
(To hold for all of us)
Tracing the rivers of twilight
The stars swim in black and blue
Rolling light that cannot warm
All the old flowing new
Chorus
Weave them together
Weave them together
Weave them together
Bring them together
(We are Children of the moonlight)
(Dancing to the fire)
(We are singers of the rain)
(Together)
Widow’s Garden
In the Sleepy Hours of Dawn they come callin’
In the wilds of the wood they come crawlin’
Every tree a road, every flower a star
Into the Widow’s garden, they roam
Twas a time they played with little children’s toys
Beneath a weepin’ willow, with a lovely little boy
But now the tree is silent save just for the wind
But into the widow’s garden still they roam
CHORUS:
For time takes all things on, be they mountain, sea or storm
But they never are forgotten, no matter what time has worn
For those that live forever have the longest memory
And no matter what time has lost they still see
One day when the boy was young there came a summer squall
And a single fisherman that night never did make it home
His picture fell down from the wall in a pile of shattered glass
And in that moment she knew he was gone
The little boy he ran away not believing a single word
He fell into the darkened wood, where his tiny cry was heard
Next mornin’ he awoke among the petals soft and blue
Into the widow’s garden, he was home
CHORUS:
For time takes all things on, be they mountain, sea or storm
But they never are forgotten, no matter what time has worn
For those that live forever have the longest memory
And no matter what time has lost they still see
Though the sea had took her bonnie beau and her son had up and grown
Still the Widow keeps her garden, where little blue flowers grow
And every morn ‘tween dusk and dawn, upon the creepin’ dew
Into the widow’s garden they roam
CHORUS:
For time takes all things on, be they mountain, sea or storm
But they never are forgotten, no matter what time has worn
For those that live forever have the longest memory
And no matter what time has lost they still see
Into the widow’s garden, they roam….

World Walker
I would be your Solace when Sorrow comes for tea
And close the door behind when she is gone
I would wrap you in the starlight if it would dry your tear
I’d sprout wings of fire to protect your dearest dreams
Chorus:
Child of Long Dead Trees
Fallen from the farthest stars
Onyx heart bleeds rubies for you under amber skies
Beauty seen so clear only to you
I part the way between the worlds protecting those that cross
But I would let the world collide to touch your fragile heart
Everything I ever was, now more with your sweet smile
The beast I am is just a girl to you
Bridge:
The rivers you have crossed would wash lesser girls away
You come to me and I kneel at your feet
You voices it rings out to the sky gods, you laugh the pain aside
And now I know just what it means to be
Bodyguard Neanderthal is not my cup of tea
But running away just leaves me heart behind
To hear you sing I would keep the moon from falling down
Because my home is anywhere you are
Chorus:
Child of Long Dead Trees
Fallen from the farthest stars
Onyx heart bleeds rubies for you under amber skies
Beauty seen so clear only to you
