You could spend your whole life Looking for the key Or simply realize you’re already free That love is always a possibility You could spend the moments Afraid to see them pass Or remember that that’s only the half Everything goes but everything is coming You could spend your whole life Wedded to one side Or marry them both and never deny you belong to the temporal and eternal always a choice love is always a possibility

Lady 03:50
Lady I could see you smile from a mile away And your light it gently played on my heart Lady The mark that you made has always stayed with me You wounded me so tenderly right from the start I love you Lady Bodies intertwined Yours breathed with mine, sweet joy I laughed like a boy on Christmas morning All I’d give away To bathe in this Beauty and bliss With you I love you don’t you know that no-one comes close, don’t care what we’re supposed to do I’d rather choose to be true to this feeling when I Was cold and tired By your fire you let me stay You remind me the way to the warmth in my heart I love you I was afraid of losing you But you’re deeper in me than that Any way you wanna be it’s alright with me I’ll be free for what the moment brings lady What can I say I hope you will stay and share your days with me
3.
I love you You may not feel that I do But I do I love you I love you You may not believe that it’s true But it’s true I love you I do I love you You may not see it come through But it comes through Somehow because I love you
4.
When my body is frail And my mind is failing Will I be your embarrassment? if I speak out of turn And forget what I’ve learned again Will you keep a distance between us? And quietly disown me? When my hair is white And eyes become lighter Will you still recognize me? If the day comes when I must depend on you for help Will you recognize yourself in my eyes? Will you stay or turn away? In a way I’m already there Bare against the spare sky Even though the sun seems so sure in its light The faint moon foretells the night In a way I’m already gone My spirit’s song is on the wind Free as it always longed to be It was never a prisoner in this body It’s almost time to go Now’s the time to say goodbye In a way she’s always been here So near as to disappear I must go with her the silent veiled sister But in a way I’ll always be here When the life within me leaves my body Will you be at my side? Will you send me on my way with a blessing or rue the day? Will you try to deny the truth That to live is to die?
5.
I am your long lost lover I am what you tossed away and rediscovered hold me in your arms again drop your guard and your demands for I may not see your face again I am what lies at the bottom Beneath all your hats and coats quickly forgotten I am not so far away as I seem I’m as close as can be So why must it be that you should spend All your days looking for me? Don’t say you won’t go with me I long for you to be mine completely If you give yourself to me there will be sparks like you’ve never seen
6.
Sleep, sleep, Missira Sleep, sleep, let there be quiet Sleep, sleep, Missira The world can wait Don’t you worry There’s no need I know you’re tired From all that you hold Let it go And sleep Sleep, sleep, Missira Close your eyes Come into a silent way I know the mind goes Wherever it will Let it still And sleep Awaiting you there is an indigo pool A glistening watery wishing jewel Submerge to a music so strange and so new But beautiful and somehow familiar to you colors shapes textures the depths reveal the dreams that you dream are already real Sleep, sleep, Missira Sleep, sleep, deep in the quiet
7.
Bless our eyes that we may see a world alive with beauty Bless our ears that we may hear love singing each day newly Bless happy smiles when we are near Bless our parting sorrow’s tears Bless all that we receive May we share it graciously Bless our minds that we may be Free in calm and clarity Bless our hearts that we may sow Seeds of kindness where we go Easy now with yourself Lay your burdens down Rest awhile in this warmth Let your soul return Bless our food that we may get Nourishment and joy from it Bless the words we speak this day That they may brighten our way
8.
You can hear the sound of the softly mourning dove Crying low in the weak light of a cloudy day From the trees a plaintive echo as the leaves they turn and go So vividly they show but not to stay You can smell the damp earth in the scent upon the wind singing sore beneath the burden of a heavy sky And though the mountains seems so strong they still tremble at the song and resound with the longing in a silent sigh If you’re going home you’ve got to go alone You can share another’s world but only live in your own Only when you can be with your own mystery can you claim the fullness of your own power and beauty You can taste the ocean’s sting in the misty evening As the sun boldly bleeds in a passion pink And though the light will fade away, the night anticipates the day and glows in it’s own way at the lonesome brink If you’re going home you’ve got to go alone You can share another’s world but only live in your own Only when you are free for your own mystery Can you claim the fullness of your own power and beauty
