After Halloween

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Red and gold, and halloween have passed us by,

The charcoal branches lean against the rosy sky,

You are so far away, yet I could touch you if I may,

But don't you worry now, I'm only dreaming anyway.

You may be lonely, you may be just on your own.

You could be anywhere, someplace that I have known.

But who am I and do we really live these days at all?

And are they simply feelings we have loved and do recall?

Oh the sea has made me cry,

But I love her, too, so maybe I love you.

For tears are only made of salt and water,

And across the waves the sound of laughter.

October it has gone and left me with a song

That I will sing to you although the moment may be wrong.

Could it be the sea's as real as you and i?

I often wonder why I always have to say

I'm only dreaming anyway.

(repeat last verse)

All Our Days LyricsWe search for everything

Keeping what we would win

Orchids or tiny flowers

Wooden huts or ivory towers

Centuries or hours

Dark are the winter days

Holy in many ways

Vaults of time unshaken

Whilst as through them we are taken

Sleeping forests wake

Ice melts on the lake

Birds begin in making their way back home

The frost and the fire goes

East winds and winter snows

Sun upon the daffodils

Dancing on the verdant hills

Lambs in the fields

Warmer grows the morning sun

Days of youthfulness and fun

The prime of the year begun

The song of summer to be sung

Everything is one

Working day is done

Watch the river running through our lives

How slowly the colours change

We feel the drops of rain

Mists of evening rise again

We rarely stroll the shadowed lanes

As autumn night draws in

We sit upon the sand

Warmth draining from the land

Watching the ruby sun

Setting on the ocean

The echoes in the caves

The flame upon the waves

Memories for saving all our days
