I am not a poet, living is the poem
I am not a singer, i am in the song
And i've got a story that i cannot write down
And i'm with you but i'll always be alone
I may not be right, but i don't think i am wrong
Every note's an answer, every word's a sign
Every man's a dancer, following his own time
I've found a tearful language that translates what i am
And i cried out loud, but they didn't understand
I cried so hard i may never try again
I may never try, i may never try again
Cleansing in the water, heal me in the light
Mend you ageless daughter, i've been awake all night
'cause if your sands are shifting, i'll need to know what i forgot
I don't want much, but i need an awful lot
I've found a tearful language that translates what i am
And i cried out loud, but you didn't understand
I cried so hard i may never try again
I may never try, i may never die again
I may never cry again
I may never try again
I may never die again
Stoneground words
Sand me down to the nerve
Made to live on stouneground words
Imagine that, you've done all that
And i come back for more
Imagine that, i lived on that
And i will live for more
I entered dancing and looked for my partner
I thought the path could be a double road
You played my heart like a drum beating warning
Oh, i guess i'm gonna dance this one alone
I'll go to the garden that follows the seasons
Live in the field where the healing grass grows
Go to the mountains where air's clear for breathing
Clear is just another way to see
I feel to know
Cleanse in the ocean, bathe in the power -
