@SONG: Desert Rose
 

Desert Rose that dances, in heat of the sky,
I must pattern my life about you;
You can make the most when the waters run dry,
Look into the well deep inside you.

My Desert Rose,
Born are the few;
Always with me,
A vision of you.

Acrolith reflection, that floats through my dreams,
Arid is the dust underneath me;
Something far away, a mirage so it seems,
What I long to see, oh, could it be?

My Desert Rose,
Born are the few;
Always with me,
A vision of you.

My Desert Rose,
Born are the few;
Always with me,
A vision of you.

My Desert Rose,
Born are the few;
Always with me,
A vision of you.
Don't fade away.
Don't fade away.


@SONG: High Landrons
 

Way down here on the edge of these snows,
I hear a strong wind whine;
Goin' to where the freedom bells ring,
Into the Highlands I must climb.
On this journey, I have been here before,
tryin' to reach the other side;
i just can't get through the top of these hills,
Without a mountain guide.

Took such a while to find you,
Oh could you show me the way?
To get to the place I once knew,
You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons.

Up ahead, I know the trailway stops,
From there on, only eagles fly;
Burning (with) visions of the way back to you,
They're burnin' through the eastern sky.

Now and then I see a shooting star,
Lighting up the silver blue;
It's shining all the way down the mountain skyway,
Oh, it's shining straight from you.

Took all my life to find you,
Oh could you show me the way?
To get to the place I once knew,
You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons.
Up ahead...

Took all my life to find you,
Oh could you show me the way?
To get to the place I once knew,
You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons.
Up ahead...

@SONG: Nothing Can Keep Me From You
 

Close my eyes, see your reflection
In my life, you always are;
Now I know, my true direction,
'Cause I see, your shining star.

Call out my name,
When you do, I will let you know,
Now my attention's on you;
I was down on the ground,
But I don't need to think about it,
Nothing can keep me from you.

Been so long, to get the reception
Of your smile, I keep in view;
And all your love, and your sweet affection
Makes me feel, so close to you.

Call out my name,
When you do, I will let you know,
Now my attention's on you;
I was down on the ground,
But I don't need to think about it,
Nothing can keep me from you.

Just call out my name,
When you do, I will let you know,
Now my attention's on you;
I was down on the ground,
But I don't need to think about it,
Nothing can keep me from you;
Nothing can keep me from you.
If you could just, give me one more try;
'Cause I'm down on my knees,
And I hope, there's no hang about it,
Nothing should keep me from you.

@SONG: Fourty Mile Town
 

I got a way I can find you,
Down the melody ranch, I know you're there most everyday,
That's where you like to spend some time alone.
I need to talk to you,
Tell you what I feel, like warm hellos in the morning mist,
And you're the magic that turns my heart around.

Seems to me, we're really living way too fast,
Oh when we should let the story of love last.
Sometimes I just want to go and drift away...
And move on to some fourty mile town.

I got a way I can see you,
Close my eyes to watch the ancient water flow,
Like a crystal dance that paupers know so well.
That's the way kings keep dreamin',
Hold their head up high and live below fourty mile skys,
The way that it can be in ocean towns

Things of this world, guess we never really own;
Oh that mountain falls, and then we're goin' home.
We should try to make the best and get away...
And work on towards a fourty mile town.

Seems to me we really need to feel love more,
Oh, and ordinary simle opens the door.
Sometimes all I want to do is dream away...
And wake up in some fourty mile town.


@SONG: East Wes
 
[instrumental]


        There are silk clouds floating through a room,
         Inside the clouds, there is a King's Crown;
            The crown is made of beautiful panels,
                     Of different colors;
           Inside the panels, there are three keys,
       The keys open into a meadow with a long pathway,
                       Longpath Meadow.
