Songs From Renaissance Days

Is it right that it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time

A special kind of beat i feel
Makes my pulse race, makes me reel
It spins me round and upside down, i feel the power
The turning of my life is measured by the hour
You make my day

Lucky is as lucky does
And thanks to you i fell in love
I tumble down not knowing what i came here for
It seemed my plans were always kept behind closed doors
You hold the key and unlocked me

Chorus 1:

Is it that it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
Early morning calls me back
I wake in another world that others seem so hard to find
Make the most of what you have
Dancing time in rhythm pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen

It's a dream

You've waited for so very long
I took the chance i made you strong
I grow with you, you saw in me potential fire
And when i thought the peak was reached, you took me higher
You held the key that unlocks me

Chorus 2:

Is it right it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
Early morning calls me back
I wake in another world that others seem so hard to find
Make the most of what you have
Dancing time in rhythm pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen

It's a dream

Chorus 3:

Is it fine it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time
Early morning calls me back
I wake in another world that others seem so hard to find
Make the most of what you have
Dancing time in rhythm pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen

Repeat chorus 2

Make the most of what you have
Dancing timel in rhythm pulls
You keep supplying energy
You're the body machine
They wish they could be like you
A perfect balance rarely seen
Is it right it should be this good
I'm feeling changes all the time ...

"let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"i've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and mrs. wagner's pie
And walked off to look for america

"kathy," i said as we boarded a greyhound in pittsburgh
"michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from saginaw
I've come to look for america
I've come to look for america

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "be careful his bowtie is really a camera"

"toss me a cigarette i think there's one in my raincoat"
"we smoked the last one an hour ago"
So i looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"kathy, i'm lost," i said, though i knew she was sleeping
"i'm empty and aching and i don't know why"
Counting the cars on the new jersey turnpike
They've all come to look for america
All come to look for america
All come look for america

Sitting here alone my thoughts of you
I hold your photograph
It's simple black and white
You wear that smile that won my heart

The time we had was short
You had somewhere else to go
The drafty waiting room
The train pulls in, you go

Chorus:

You ask me if it hurts when i think of you
It's only when i laugh
Time heals now i am cried out
A brief encounter deep in france
A table set for two
Hands held, i melt into you

I wrote some letters to old friends
The good old days
I didn't know you then
To mention you to them would be absurd
But then you mean so much

Ice that's on my window panes
Slowly starts to thaw
The image of my tears reflects on you
That's all

Chorus

My days will pass as years
Till you return to me

The reason that it hurts when i think of you
It's only when i laugh
Time heals and now i am cried out
A brief encounter deep in france
A table set for two
Hands held, i melt into you

Repeat chorus twice

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now i live to sing

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now i live to sing

You know it's hard away from you
Travelling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely

Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights

Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams i take your hand, you walk with me

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again i look for you and find you there

Desintation homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now i see
Hard to be really free, i'm missing you near me

Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights

Chorus:

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you

Repeat chorus twice

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you

Island of avalon fools, heroes equal share
Truth, legend, fantasy open every mystery
Feudal kings that bore no child
Witches fires burning wild


Chorus:

Island of avalon, truth or lie
All is well, sound the bell

Merlin would please his king, potions, antiquities
Silas, god of the trees, men of fabled imagery
Descendents of your mystic crown
Walk your land where ghosts abound

Chorus

Island of avalon as real as we pretend
Superstition without end, these countless names you lend
Stories with no boundaries
Overflow our histories

Chorus
