One More Time

The last few weeks have been a blur
And I've spent the nights on the verge of tears
And the days in hopeful anticipation
Of the hour when I might get to
Hold you again
Will you ever know that for those few weeks
How the moon shone down from the sky for you?
And the morning light that drenched my bedroom
Awoke me only that I might
Hold you in my arms once again?
Let me love you one more time
One more time
Before you go
Little goddess standing there
Behind your eyes and behind your guard
I could see you in your loveliness
If you'd stayed would you've showed that to me?
If only in the silent midnight
Just us alone?
And have you ever been in love?
Has a boy ever broken your heart?
Or has one ever written a song for you?
And poured out his feelings at your feet
That he might get to call you his own?
Let me love you one more time
One more time
Before you go
'Cause when I feel, yeah, I fell hard
I can't shake the feeling we were doomed from the start
Those few hours would've never been enough
When you let me in and then left me with those
Scratches all down the side of my neck
I wrote this song just a little too late
And it might not be finished till you've gone away
Ba da da da da da
...
...
Let me love you one more time
One more time
Before you go

Going Back

I'm going back in the morning
To the land called Australia
I'm going back now in the morning
To the land I once called home
I've got my bags all packed now
With everything that I might need
Yeah, I've got my bags all packed now
With every little thing that I might need
The only thing that I'll be missing
I'll take with me in my memory
The only thing that I'll be wishing
Is that you'll stay here and you'll wait for me

When you wake up in the morning and open up your eyes
Do you think god and feel glad to be alive?
When the morning sun shines down upon your face
Do you really feel it, baby, or do your thoughts slip away?
We gotta get back, baby, we gotta get back there
We gotta get back
Gotta get back there
Woah
The sick god watches from his dome in the night sky
The stars are dimly shining you can barely see their light
My quest is to give form to the desperate look upon his face
And when my soul goes wandering up there it'll take its place
We gotta get back, baby, we gotta get back there
We gotta get back
Gotta get back there
Woah

Seeker

Seeker, traveller
I recall the morning you set out
The first beard blooming upon your youthful cheek
Seeker, wanderer
Gradually sides are drawing up
People have become estranged from one another
Seeker, young man
Many tears are moistening the earth
While we wait for your return
Seeker, lost one
Many years now have passed us by
And I am no longer a young girl
Seeker, captive of the
Dream theatres immutable throes
Initiate of the guiding spirit
Seeker, vision seer
Tell us of what flashed before your eyes
Tell us the words of the ancient ones

One-Woman Blues

I wanna be a one-woman man
I wanna be a one-woman man
I'm tired of running around town
She gotta have a head of long hair
She gotta have a head of long hair
Want that hair down, baby, down to her breasts
I wanna be a one-woman man
I wanna be a one-woman man
I'm tired of running around town
She gotta have a pair of thick thighs
She gotta have a pair of thick thighs
My legs are long, yeah, they're long enough
I wanna be a one-woman man
I wanna be a one-woman man
I'm tired of running around town
She gotta want a lotta kids
She gotta want a lotta kids
Want that place a-jumpin', baby, with six or seven kids
I wanna be a one-woman man
I wanna be a one-woman man
I'm tired of running around town
I wanna be a one-woman man
I wanna be a one-woman man
I'm tired of running around town

Song of a Cloven Man
04:37
|

Long I have spent searching in this dry and vacant place
The people's faces that I see are strange and unfamiliar
Their words come out as if of a foreign tongue
And for all their words and thoughts my soul remains unquenched
Ohh
Ahh
In the night I met a man at the nexus of the ways
From up beneath his hat he shot his gaze from his piercing eye
He pointed me down in a valley where he said there rolled a stream
Said if I know what I want I oughtta follow it to where it springs
Ohh
Ahh
When I find you up there on the mountainside
And look at last into your dark eyes
When I find you up there beside that spring
I only ask for one more thing
Let the rain fall down
Let the rain fall down
Till the sun comes up in the morning
Let the rain fall down

A Dirge for a Young Man
04:55

I can't quite get back there again
Under the sunshine with you
I can't quite recall your voice now
It is fading from my mind
The memory of your face
Drifts closer day by day
To the threshold of oblivion
To be forgotten forevermore
Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
My heart breaks for the loss
This world endures now that your gone
The world feels emptier without you here
And its joys aren't as full or real
There's so much that I left unsaid
So much life you were yet to live
Forever twenty never twenty-one
Despite the weight of all these years
Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
Lay your wild hair down
Lay your wild hair down
Lay your wild hair down
