Still Life

Once i was lonely, living in dreams (shine shine shine shine)
Found my heart open now shine on me
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door ....

You so beguiling, smiling at me (shine shine shine shine)
Smiling and tender soft the breeze
Into my open heart like the sun shines
Into my open soul like the sun shines
A shaft of light through a now open door (shine shine shine shine)

I hear you whisper, gentle and free (shine shine shine shine)
Laughing and loving, shining from me (shine)

Skaila - playing stardust - in the moonlight
Turning into music - colouring the daybreak
Following the morning - skaila she plays on ...

Skaila she takes the shadow - into the distance
On reflecting rainbows, silhouettes of sunshine
Skaila she plays on

Skaila plays on spirals - circles turning
Falling into rivers - melodies are streaming
Playing all around us - skaila she plays on

Skaila she takes the sunshine - into the darkness
Where she finds the music - scattered in the right time
Skaila she plays on

Skaila plays on mirrors - stretching over
Tumbles into voices - echoing the music
Everyone is dreaming - skaila she plays on

In troubled times
I am surrounded by conflict
The world i see
Bound with the chains of limitation
And in this i'm confined
Filled with all that i am
I find all of my frailties
I can see no end

In troubled thoughts
I am aware of hesitation
My mind i see
Bound with the chains of reservation
And in this i'm restrained
Filled with less than i am
I find all of my frailties
I can see no end

(as you are, what you know
As you live, you will grow
Now that you have the key
You will come to be free
All the questions you ask
And the keys from the past
Say the answer is you
And you hold all the answers)

I'd grow if i knew
(all this you will find)
The way

(with peace in time
You will find haromony weaving
A tapestry woven with threads of expectation
So grow with your love
Fill with all you can be
Your heart will encompass
All you may need to be free)

Once she would dance on centre stage
While he was blinded by the light
She sang and danced, danced her glitter dreams for them
While he, he waited out of sight

But he won't wait there forever more
He told her so, she did not believe his words
So she would dance in those glitter dreams
She did not know he would leave

So she would dance his life away
'cause she was blinded by the lights
And when he left, left her glitter dreams behind
She danced, she danced into the night

But without love waiting in the wings
She would dance for him, she could not believe he'd gone
So now she dances her dusty dreams
The glitter's gone
Now the glitter's turned into dust, she dances on ...

Now without love waiting in the wings
She will dance for him, she does not believe he's gone
And now she dances her dusty dream
The glitter's gone
Now the glitter's turned into dust

On, on and on she dances all alone
She dances just for him
She sings come back, sings to him from centre stage
But now the light is growing dim

Turned to dust .....
Dust .....

Why do we love so carelessly
A broken heart can never feel the same
Why do we make everything so hollow, and then borrow
Someone's love, selfishly

Why do we take the easy way
No looking back, you never see the pain
Why do we hurt, people who we care for, and would bear for
If we thought, with understanding and with caring in our hearts
If we could see, if only we could see
All the love we lost - carelessly

Why do we take and not return
No going back, you never meet again
Why do we think, always of our selfish need and go with greed
When if we knew with certainty and caring in our hearts
If we could see, if only we could see, all the love we lost
All the love we lost - carelessly

Came the day you strayed into my life
And everything was turned around
Since the day you came into my life
My world is full of sweeter sounds

And the day's you've loved me in my life
Have changed my every point of view
Since the day you came into my life
My time i love to share with you

And i know that all my friends said you're deceiving me
I know that you were capable of leaving me
And you could stray away
Some lonely day

These the days, the best of all my life
Will live inside my heart and mind
Should you stray, the rest of all my life
I'll keep the love you left behind

These the days, the love of all my life
I live with all the love you give
Should you stay, the rest of all my life
I'll love you for each day we live

And i know that all my friends said you're decieving me
And i know that you were capable of leaving me
And you may stray away
And you could stray away some lonely day

These the days the rest of all my life
I know i'll spend them loving you
If you stray, the best of all my life
Will leave me and will go with you
