"Parallel Universe the Musical": Lyrics (Recording TBD)
"There's a River into Lifetimes" To be recorded
Can you see the edge of me?
Can you be more beautiful
On the window sill of Time.
Between us are Centuries
That seem like a few years
Of memories at the edge of love.
And when you say, “Hello,” that way,
I know you see the edge of me.
Are you free to feel divine?
Are you really beautiful
To the foggy touch of Time?
Between us are soft words
That last through a thousand fears,
Forgotten births and years.
Sometimes my friend, sometimes my love,
But we always long for the same sky above.
There’s a River into lifetimes, coming closer this way
To the edge of what’s forbidden, what I’m still afraid to say.
Oh, remember the River, remember me this way,
You’ll remember forever what we looked like today.
Oh, remember the River, remember me this way,
You’ll remember forever what we looked like today.
I know all the space of you.
I can see you’re blue and free.
You’re a boy, you’re a girl, or you’re me.
Between us are moments of passion and sympathy
Born to us like the day.
I’m ready now to say, “Goodbye,”
And I don’t even know why…
There’s a River into Lifetimes, coming closer this way
To the edge of what’s forbidden, what I’m still afraid to say.
Oh, remember the River, remember me this way,
You’ll remember forever what we looked like today.
Oh, remember the River, remember me this way,
-You’ll remember forever what we looked like today.

"On Every Planet There's Somebody" To be recorded
I will hold you to your promises to remember me,
To remember what we used to be.
I know every name for you.
--On every planet, there’s somebody
Who looks for you sometime –
A very special kind of knowing,
It leaves your soul so bare.
You can’t believe how many things
Are buried in your rings,
Transparent to the stare
Of the one who knows you where
No one can touch you, where
No one can see.
Just the one who knows
Where your soul goes,
Where your soul goes.
On every planet, there’s somebody
Who looks for you sometime –
A very special kind of knowing,
It leaves your soul sublime.
You can’t believe how many lies
Of love shadow your eyes
Until the one who hears
Every heartbeat, every tear
Makes you remember
The life of your dreams,
And the one who smiles
When you see between the seams,
The beauty of the scenes
Of love remembering…

"The Electrons of You " To be recorded
I walk in your shadows
And I see all the people
That you used to be,
So delicately painted
On the ceiling of my seas,
And your sweaters neatly folded
In the darkness of my ark
Warm my heart, warm my heart.
I wish you could take my hand
And see all the rings
That I have worn when I was many many things,
And I went through the electrons of you.
And I went through the electrons of you.
I swim in the moments
Between comets and a morning
Full of memories.
The steaming of the coffees
And the spice and ginger teas.
I remember seeing someone’s face
Appearing in their leaves.
And I heard you voice.
It made me freeze.
I heard your voice.
It made me freeze.
I wish you could take my hand
And see all the rings
That I have worn when I was many many things,
And I went through the electrons of you.
And I went through the electrons of you.

"Where Do You Go When You Leave Here " To be recorded
Where do you go when you leave here?
Do you know what you take and receive here?
I don’t know if you know my name.
I don’t even know if pain feels the same.
I don’t know what will remain of me
In your mind, what you will see that symbolizes me.
I am afraid to remember
What it’s like when we’re alone,
What it’s like when we’re at home,
What it’s like when you take my hand,
And your mouth feels like smooth running sand.
And your eyes see more of me
And I burn, and the feeling returns.
And I burn, and the feeling returns.
And I burn, and the feeling returns.
I so want to keep near the edge of sleep,
The picture of you near the leap into Memory…
Suddenly there you are,
And there is a power.
And I’m in a long, running mirror
On a River to Tomorrow
And I can see most of me
But I am not ready to See…
Is it true? Are you who
They say you are?
Is it true? Are you who
They say you are?
Then it’s over as suddenly as it began.
And it is near the end,
And it is simply night.
But I will come to you in the morning.
Sleeping far above in the dawn,
Where you float in the evening dome,
And you rest in the stars, at home.
But you will never be alone.
My eyes will gleam there, like shiny newborn stones.
My voice will hang there in crystal overtones.
My lips fly near yours, like beams of light they roam.
My name is in yours, in ancient poems,
In ancient times, in ancient rhymes
Gone home,
Gone home,
Gone.
Home.

"Mother Earth " To be recorded
I was always free.
Didn’t you know me?
When I’m singing in your trees
And you’re standing by me in the leaves,
Don’t be jealous of eternities.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.
You are just like me.
Volcano hearts in a deep blue sea.
When you fear the end,
I will be your long lost friend.
I will hold your hand again
As I did when we began.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.
Come and live with me,
And build a new family.
When we’re done, you’ll see new suns,
A world you’ve never seen before.
You will live in me as I live in you, forever more.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.
Mother Earth, Mother Earth,
Mother Earth, Mother Earth.

"Can You Say I Love You" To be recorded
When moments of truth are known
Do you think you can find your way home?
When the edges of night
Find your face on fire
With the flames of today’s desire,
With the flames of today’s desire,
For truth and for youth and for moments at dawn,
When the veil of your soul is drawn,
Can you say, I love you?
Can you say it, every day?
How many ways do you hide from your life,
Instead of living in love today?
When moments of love are near,
Can you come closer, can you dare
To love something new?
That you find in you?
That you did not know was there?
That you found in someone’s stare?
A surprise for your eyes,
Where the tears are so bare,
And you try not to cry,
But you still have to care,
Can you say, I love you?
Can you say it, every day?
How many ways do you hide from your life,
Instead of finding your love today?

"Your Name Is So Familiar " To be recorded
Your name is so familiar,
Your hand – I think you’ve touched me before.
Although I can’t remember your face,
I think I am part of your race.
Where were you then?
Back when I can’t remember when?
Remember when, remember when
We first began as woman and man.
Throughout the universe, One
Day you’ll see.
Through my eyes you look just like me.
Where are you Friend?
Please let me hear from you
Now and then.
This song is so familiar,
Your touch – I think we’ve been here before.
Although I can’t remember the end,
I really don’t want to pretend.
Where are you Friend?
Please let me hear from you
Now and then.

"She Sat on the Moon" ("The Goddess Song") - To be recorded
Narration to background refrains:
She sat the Moon.
It’s a quarter Moon. She’s half its size.
Near her is the sun. It’s twice as big.
It’s yellow and it glows. It’s very nice.
She’s thinking about the Sun.
Watching it. Calculating it.
How it burns the Moon.
How it makes her skin warm.
How it woos her with its heat.
How it’s neat. To sit in the Sun.
To feel it burn the Moon.
How it makes her skin warm.
How it woos her with its heat.
How it’s neat. To sit in the Sun.
To feel it burn the Moon.
To let the Sun dry your tears
before they turn into rain.
The question is not the Sun.
The question is not the Moon.
The question is WHO – is this?
Who would sit on a quarter Moon.
And cry tears of rain.
So that’s our mystery.
And – she likes to sing… J
Song Lyrics:
When the Sun burns the Moon,
Will our tune of love remain?
Will the edges of space
Be the same?
And the places we go,
Will they fill up with you?
Can you see in the Stars?
Can you see me, blue?
In that Sun? Burning time,
Burning words in love that rhyme.
With the heart of the race
That’s lost in space?
Will you know me again?
Can you feel me, my friend?
I have always been
Where you have been…
When the Sun and the Wind
And the dream of love began,
Love of life, times of sand,
Child of man…
And I sang to you from Stars
And you knew my name, my heart.
Now you share that same gold strain,
Though you streak the times with pain.
I will always love again.
I’m a Goddess and a friend
Of burning moons that never end,
And the men that never bend…
I will see you fly
In your tears and in your sighs.
Hear the sound of a thousand years
In your eyes…
When the Sun loves the Moon,
I’ll return again and soon,
I’ll return again and soon,
I’ll return again and soon,
When the Sun loves the Moon.

"On the Moors of Your Soul " To be recorded
I long for a window
Where there is no sill.
I long for a time
When I can be still.
On the moors of your soul,
On the shores of your sighs,
Drinking light from your
Sweet silver water eyes…
On the moors of your soul,
On the shores of your sighs,
Drinking life from your
Sweet water eyes…
I long for the thrill of
A moment in blue.
I long to live
On the moon there with you.
On the moors of your soul,
On the shores of your sighs,
Drinking light from your
Sweet silver water eyes…
On the moors of your soul,
On the shores of your sighs,
Drinking life from your
Sweet water eyes…

"Blue Diamonds " To be recorded
Blue Diamonds in the snow.
Blue Diamonds for the show
Where the Lady wants to go.
What does the Lady want to know?
She sees you.
She wants you
To glow…
Blue diamonds in the sea.
I remember arms surrounding me.
How did she find where we would be?
What does the Lady want to see?
She knows you.
What you could be.
She’s set your ships free.
She wants to be
More than the Sea.
She is alive.
Why can’t you see?
She’s in the stones,
The sleeping domes.
She wants your eyes
In her Blue Diamond skies.
Blue Diamonds, hear them sing.
They fill with love
She hears them ring.
She wants to set you free of Time.
She wants the sounds to move your mind.
She wants you to see the sights.
Of her Blue Diamond nights…

"How Many Times Have You Been Here?" To be recorded
How many times have you been here?
And I haven’t seen your face?
How many times have you dreamed here,
The dreams of another race?
The dreams inside my space
Are the dreams of another race.
The dreams inside my space
Are the dreams of another place.
How many times have I seen you?
But I couldn’t say your name.
How many times have I been you?
And known all of your pain.
And known of all your pain.
And I have felt the same.
And known all of your pain.
And I have felt the same.
How many times have I touched you,
But you don’t feel these things.
How many times have I loved you?
Do you remember the wings?
Do you remember wings?
Do you remember wings?
Do you remember wings?
Do you remember…things?
Things you were.
Things you were told.
Were you so young? Were you so old?
Were you so warm? Were you so old?
Things that you learned.
Things that you sold.
Things you begin
That never end.
Things that don’t end
Don’t ever begin.
Some things never end.
They just never end.
How did you know that I’d be here?
How many names did you give?
Some names can’t ever be spoken
Like some lives can’t ever be lived.
Some days are closer to home.
Some days are there but not known.
Some days you can’t find your things.
Do you remember wings?…

"String Theory" ("What Are You Doing in My Heart?") To be recorded
Above you is a string.
You pull it, and down comes everything
You love for all times,
The puppeteer in your nursery rhymes…
A region of space (
Where you haven’t seen your face.
A soldier appears.
What is he doing in your tears?
You haven’t seen him in years.
What are you doing in my dreams?
How do I know you, when you sing?
Why am I crying in this scene?
Why am I telling you everything?
What are you doing in my heart?
How did you get there?
When did you start?
How did you find the strings
To Everything…?
Above you is a heart.
You break it
And it falls apart
The pieces are gold
Where memories are sold.
A woman appears, how do I know her?
Is it me?
Who can I be?
And who are you in reality?
What are you doing in my dreams?
How do I know you, when you sing?
Why am I crying in this scene?
Why am I telling you everything?
What are you doing in my heart?
How did you get there?
Where did you start?
How did you find the strings
To Everything…?

"Is It Always You?" To be recorded
Wonderful silhouettes of you
As the sun of my soul
Finds your eyes
And they close
The hole in my mind
Is it always you?
Will I know what to look for?
Will you haunt every time
That I love? Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
Were they all pictures of you
Coming through
On some faces of blue
I designed
To fool my mind…?
Is it always you?
Do you live in my mirrors?
Can I see through myself?
Can I part all the rivers?
Can I part all the rivers?
Can I part all the rivers?
When I can live with my heart
Out in space
Pouring through every face
In a star,
Will I see where we are?
Is it always you?
Will we always remember?
Can we find the way?
Will we be there forever?
Will we be there forever?
Will we be there forever?

"My Home Away from Home" To be recorded
Alone at last.
It’s been so long.
I know you’ve come home.
I know the tones of blue
That are you.
Remember me,
Remember me,
Remember all
The ways we see
Across the words
That cross my mind.
Have you always known
You are my home away from home?
Your name is mine.
We walk one path.
We feel one love.
We wear one mask.
We hear the winds
That join our future and our past.
Remember me,
Remember me,
Remember all
The ways we see
Across the words
That cross my mind.
Have you always known
You are my home away from home?
I take your hand.
I hold your eyes.
I know you understand.
I know you walk the miles
With me, and we can
Just be.
Remember me,
Remember me,
Remember all
The ways we see
Across the words
That cross my mind.
Have you always known
You are my home away from home?

"In the End Love" To be recorded
I wish we could begin again.
We’ve lost so many, many friends.
The Earth may never come again.
Our faces may not see old friends
In the sea, in the sky –
But they will not let this planet die.
In the end, love,
In the end, love,
In the end, love,
Is the only way
To begin again.
I wish we could remember them.
The ones who died when we were men.
Their souls may never come again.
Their cries may never sing again
In the sea, in the sky –
But they will not let this planet die.
In the end, love,
In the end, love,
In the end, love,
Is the only reason
Why we live.
We forgive…..
In the end, love,
In the end, love,
In the end, love,
Is the only reason
Why we live.
To forgive…

"Black Orchid Eyes " To be recorded
Love got away from me,
Love got away from me,
Love got away from me
That day.
The Black Orchid Eyes.
Black Orchid,
Black Orchid,
Black Orchid
Pools touched me
And lifted doubt
Beyond my reach
Onto the beach,
Where I lay falling,
Where I lay falling,
Where I lay falling
Into the Sea.
The Black Orchid Eyes.
Black Orchid,
Black Orchid,
Black Orchid
Pools touched me
And lifted doubt
Beyond my reach
Onto the beach.
