Our world is hidden
We are hidden to ourselves
To each other
But the sparks of light
Lie in wait
Inside us all
Seams of gold
A lovely porcelain bowl
Made of earth and dust
Passed down from hand to hand
From life to life
Home to home
Seams of gold
In a window sill
Lit by the sun
A breeze blows by
Generations come and go
Seams of gold
Winds blow in from the cold
Made of smoke and dust
Passed down from hand to hand
From life to life
Heart to heart
Seams of gold
In a window sill
Broken in two
The years sweep by
Generations come and go
Veins of gold fill the cracks of what’s been shattered
Veins of gold are the scars of who we are
Only hearts can see what’s hidden
Only hearts can see the light
Shine a light
Shine a light on the broken pieces
Shine a light
Shine a light on the hidden scars
Shine a light
Shine a light on what’s forgotten
Take the broken pieces
And change the world
Seams of gold
A spirit flows through the bowl
Made of flames and dust
Passed down from hand to hand
From life to life
Home to home
Seams of gold
In a window sill
Lit by the moon
The world blows by
Generations come and go
Seams of gold
More precious now than before
Made of shards and dust
Passed down from hand to hand
From life to life
Heart to heart
Seams of gold
In a window sill
Lit by the stars
A dream flies by
Generations come and go
Sparks of light
Burning up inside us
Hiding deep
Way beyond our sight
Only hearts can see what’s hidden
Only hearts can see the light
Shine a light
Shine a light on the broken pieces
Shine a light
Shine a light on the hidden scars
Shine a light
Shine a light on what’s forgotten
Take the broken pieces
And change the world
Seams of gold
Tell the story you know
Made of fire and light
Passed down from hand to hand
From life to life
Home to home
Seams of gold
In a window sill
Lit by your soul
Our lives blaze by
Generations come and go
Seams of gold
Seams of gold or our broken peoples
Seams of gold
Seams of gold for our broken world
Seams of gold from the light that shines within us
Seams of gold will repair the world
Shine a light
Shine a light on the broken peoples
Shine a light
Shine a light on the broken world
Shine a light
Shine a light on the broken pieces
Your seams of gold will mend the world
Find the light
Find the light in the broken pieces
Find the light
Find the light that will change the world
Find the light
Find the light that lies within you
Take the broken pieces
And change the world
Be a mender
Of a broken world

These ghosts say:
I can’t save you now
But I can tell you how
How to live a life
That’s brave and free
I can tell you what I cared about
I can tell you what I regret
I can tell you to remember me
Forget me not in the fog of war
Lost in memory
I’m all that’s left
That’s left of time
My thoughts are the bones
I leave behind
I feel it burning right through me
The past is lighting my way
Though all is dark around me
This lantern guides my way
The ghosts are talking right through me
Their light shines across my mind
Troubles and doubts pursue me
But their wisdom fills my mind
These walls can talk
These walls are alive
These wall tell stories in their very bones
There’s things worth fighting for
Things worth dying for
All our loyal hearts are true
I hear their words ripping through me
Their thoughts are tumbling down
Ancient stories surround me
What’s lost can now be found
It’s the heart of things that matter
What’s buried deep and gone
The weight of time pulls on me
But dreams live on and on
These walls can talk
These walls are alive
These walls can tell us who and what survived
These walls can cast a brighter light
Burn bright all through the night
Burn until the day is new
Spinning straw into golden light
Burning bright all through the night
Burning bright till all our days are new

Old bones taking me back
Old worlds taking me back
Resting on the souls of long ago
Old dreams taking me back
Old loves taking me back
Carrying us on wings of days long past
Trees with leaves
for dreams
A dance that never ends
That only you can know
From the roots to the sky
Sylvan slippers, rings of time
In the gloaming of this world
Back where memories lie
I keep longing for
Old bones taking me back
Old worlds taking me back
Resting on the souls of long ago
New roads leading me home
New hearts leading me home
Setting sail for ancient lands unknown
Trees with leaves
for dreams
A dance that never ends
That only you can know
From the roots to the sky
Sylvan slippers, rings of time
In the gloaming of this world
Back where memories lie
I’m just dreaming of
Old bones taking me back
Old worlds taking me back
Resting on the souls of long ago
New roads leading me home
New hearts leading me home
Setting sail for ancient lands unknown

We dangle on a thread
Inside the galaxies mighty web
And the ghosts of all that came before
Echo down the empty halls
Of lost causes and ideals
That were never
as real
as the stars we follow
Distant thunder shakes the earth
Telling tales we’ve never heard
Ancient stories half forgotten
Back where dragons slumber
Cave walls rock from side to side
We hold them up to stay alive
Time is shifting, ever drifting
Keeping us fate’s rider
Running through our blood
Coursing through our brains
Setting our little worlds on fire
The past is never past
All that was still exists
From orange dust to ancient ashes
From Achilles to sea anemones
Black wings brush against our skin
Fires smolder deep within
Paintings seeing far beyond us
Capture what we’re dreaming
All that we have ever known
The double helix of our souls
‘Cross the earth, they leave us bread crumbs
Feed us while we’re sleeping
Running through our blood
Coursing through our brains
Setting our little worlds on fire
The past is never past
All that was still exists
From orange dust to ancient ashes
From Achilles to sea anemones
Futures of the universe
Faint and distant, close at hand
Weightless, searching, endless seeking
Oracles of starlight
Star-stuff flows from sun to sun
Shaping worlds we’ll never own
Iron stars that dance within us
Dying in our making
Running through our blood
Coursing through our brains
Setting our little worlds on fire
The past is never past
All that was still exists
From orange dust to ancient ashes
From Achilles to sea anemones
Golden rays
Take us home
Take us home at last

Alone, alone in the brand new universe
A minute ago I was nothing
Now here I am
It’s supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life
But it’s the first day of the universe
And nobody gives a damn about me
It’s me
it’s all about me
This is my story
This is my life
Though it sounds like I’m complaining
Everything I say is true
It’s you
What’s duh matta witch you?
Why don’t you get what I’m telling you?
For God’s sake I’m dying here
I’m the star
I’m the galaxy
I’m the whole universe
I’m the reason why you all are here
Alone in the primordial swamp
It’s me
It’s all about me
I refuse to divide
they say it’s my destiny
But I will remain
One cell
Or die

Neander Valley’s fragrance
Lingers in the air
Glaciers glide by
Hearths on fire
Roasting cave bears late at night
Rolling naked in the grass
Counting stars
On our backs
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Songs on our lips
Dreams in our hearts
Leaving our bones behind
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Longing for a place to call our own
Neander Valley’s fragrance
Hovers in the air
Clouds roll by
Smoke rings fly
Fishing trout by rolling streams
Wooly mammoths all night long
Counting stars
On our backs
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Songs on our lips
Dreams in our hearts
Leaving our bones behind
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Longing for a place to call our own
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Songs on our lips
Dreams in our hearts
Leaving our bones behind
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Longing for a place to call our own

Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
All the earth in front of me
All roads stars that lead me home
A map, a plan, a distant land
With stardust at my back
I see the new world
Feel the new world
New dreams take me home
Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
All the earth in front of me
All roads stars that lead me home
A map, a plan, a distant land
With stardust at my back
I see the new world
Feel the new world
New dreams take me home
Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
Leaving all that’s dear to me
No more to sleep in my old home
A map, a plan, a distant land
Tears me from my home
I miss my old world
Need my old world
Long for my old home
Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
Leaving all that’s dear to me
No more to sleep in my old home
A map, a plan, a distant land
Tears me from my home
I miss my old world
Need my old world
Long for my old home

See the far off hills
The amber leaves
Against the sky
see the dreamy woods
Of days gone by
Hear the oceans roar
The storm tossed skies
You wonder why
You ask me why
See the silver birds
The blue dark clouds
Across the sky
See the stars that shoot right through the sky
Singing spirits fly across the sky
The earth will dance
Beneath the sky
I love to feel your breath upon my face
And in my dreams
I keep you safe
I love to feel your breath upon my face
Your tiny hands
Your grace
I feel your pounding heart against my chest
I love you so
Through every breath
I feel your pounding heart against my chest
I love you so
My every breath
You’re the dream, the wish, the hope
I build my life upon
You’re my very own
My dearest one
I feel your pounding heart against my own
We climb the cold
The cold, cold stones
Feel the spirits of the earth
The wind, the sea, the sky
Feel their tender kisses on your eyes
Sleeping shadows fly
Across the sky
They hide the stars
You ask me why
I dreamed that we were far away and gone
On wings of birds
We flew at dawn
I dreamed I kept you safe and sound from harm
We left this earth
And we were gone
I want to hide you in these woods with me
To keep you safe
To set us free
I long to keep you sleeping here with me
Forever more
Forever free

Dancing to life’s sweetest tune
Our tree
Lost in bloom
Spreading branches to the sky
Lovingly to the moon
Watching over lovers riding by
The old cedar tree rests now
On that sleepy hill
Waiting for the sun to rise
‘Neath her sleepy boughs
Polly and Elisha flew
Through loves open doors
Riding on the wings of hope
Loving hearts so true
Ten miles over land they raced
Laughing all the way
Leaping through the air so high
Horses flush with grace
They met Bishop Asbury
Golden circles bright
Clasping reins and hearts, as one
‘Neath that cedar tree
How they rode
How they flew
The wind at their backs
Flashing hooves on fire
Past the sun
Past the sky and the rain
The stars as they blew on past
Building a home close by
That faithful loving tree
Living for the moon to rise
Sweet treasures, bluer skies
They say you can hear their sighs
Kisses on the wind
Like the tree they’re evergreen
Souls that never die
How they rode
How they flew
The wind at their backs
Flashing hooves on fire
Past the sun
Past the sky and the rain
The stars as they blew on past
Polly and Elisha flew
Through loves open doors
Riding on the wings of hope
Loving hearts so true
The old cedar tree rests now
On that sleepy hill
Waiting for the sun to rise
‘Neath her sleepy boughs
‘Neath that cedar
The wings of love will never die
The wings of love will never die
The wings of love will never die

Blue music
Blue storm
Behind the camera’s glass eye
Life once removed
Forever watches
Blue eyed Buster
Buster Blue Eyes
Blue hurricane
Blue cadence
Camera eyes
Blue eyes
He played the clarinet
An enchanter pulling blue snakes
From the air
Fingers like slender shoots
Stars fell from his palms
Ev’rything about Buster
Was right there in his eyes
You could look away but it was there
Blue mountains
Blue trails
Mists that roll round the bend
Hidden from sight
Forever wanders
Blue eyed Buster
Buster Blue Eyes
Blue highway
Blue heart
Lost in a deep revery
Smashed up and gone
Forever drifting
Blue eyed Buster
Buster Blue Eyes
Blue melody
Blue essence
Camera eyes
Blue eyes
He played the clarinet
A magician blowing circles
Through the air
Dreamers who hide inside
Longing fills their souls
Ev’rything about Buster
Was right there in his eyes
You could look away but it was there
Blue music
Blue death
Behind the camera’s glass eye
Life once removed
Forever watches
Blue eyed Buster

Red glass globes on fire
Salvador Dali in the corner
Crushed ice and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came tumbling,
Laughing
Golden balls and tinsel
Stiller and Meara in the corner
Blini and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came dancing,
Loving
It all happened on 57th Street
They’re eating:
Cherry blintzes, Chicken Kiev,
Kasha and piroshki
Steaming bowls of pelmeni
Pumpernickel, sour cream,
with lots of boiled potatoes
And White Russians
steeping tea bags
In free boiling water
Pink table cloths are glowing
Sidney Poitier sits in the corner
Vodka and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came winning,
Losing
Pool green walls surround us
Sylvia Miles in the corner
The brass and samovars
Through the revolving door
The world came schmoozing,
Boozing
It all happened down the block from Horn & Hardart’s Automat
They’re eating:
Vareniki and sirniki
Blinchiki and rosolnik
Butter pouring over blini
Mushroom barley, sour pickles
And lots of cold zubrovka
And White Russians
Steeping tea bags
In free boiling water
Sidney Pollack’s Tootsie
Madonna hatchecking in the corner
Zakuski and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came thinking,
Dreaming
Red banquettes on fire
Harry Belafonte in the corner – Day-O!
Smoked tongue and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came moving,
Shaking
Just across from that ol’ Chock Full o’Nuts The Heavenly Coffee
They’re eating:
Kulebiaka, Luli kebab
Bitochki and pojarski
Forshmak dragimiroff
Tomato herring, Russian dressing
Lots of chicken liver
And White Russians
Steeping tea bags
In free boiling water
People lined up to the sidewalk
Zero Mostel sings in the corner “Tradition”!
Murals and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came hondling,
Schnorring
Blacklisted artists on fire
Lee Grant loves to linger in the corner
Shashlik and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came swirling,
Twhirling
We were all slightly to the left of Carnegie Hall
And White Russians
Steeping tea bags
In free, free boiling water

A long, long time ago
When squirrels in Central Park could still talk
A little girl lived
high above the treetops
On a rooftop, nestled between the clouds on foggy days
A long, long time ago
When water towers watched o’er the realm
One lived alone
on her rooftop
Bellowing warnings
when danger
was near
Tomatoes, petunias, and wild roses grew
Windows caught the moonlight
Dreams shimmered in the air
Back when squirrels could talk
I lived in a golden time
We had golden things
Old, unhappy, far-off things
A long long time ago
Then stilt walkers still danced upon the moon
Her family lived
Deep inside their own world
A shining circus, made of flames and fireflies
A long long time ago
When all who loved were still loved in return
A knight named Cruz
Saved her from the bad dreams
Holding her close
When danger
Was near
Tomatoes, petunias, and wild roses grew
Windows caught the moonlight
Dreams shimmered in the air
Back when squirrels could talk
I lived in a golden time
We had golden things
Old, unhappy, far-off things
A long long time ago
When all good things began to disappear
Her father died
Struck down by bad luck
Swept from this earth like sand before the wind
A long long time ago
When spirits still sang songs that shook your bones
Her mother drank
Sweet sips, from golden lilies
Locking her sorrows
Deep beneath
The sea
Tomatoes, petunias, and wild roses grew
Windows caught the moonlight
Dreams shimmered in the air
Back when squirrels could talk
I lived in a golden time
We had golden things
Old, unhappy, far-off things
A long long time ago
When bears still dined on shish kebab and wine
A stranger came
Silver tongue and moonshine
Wolfsbane whispers
Fateful kisses
Veiled his prey
A long long time ago
When mandrakes still told tales that woke the night
Her mother wed
The stranger on their rooftop
The watchtower bellowed, warnings through the night
A long, long time ago
When fairy tales could still set people free
I ran away
Flying off our rooftop
Leaving my very heart and soul behind
Dancing street lights far below
Cruz’s pounding heart
Over the watchtowers
Over the circus, shining below
Flames spinning, people laughing
Over all the streets I knew and loved
All of it vanishing beneath me
Stars
a new fragile moon
Dancing street lights far below
Cruz’s loving heart
Wind blowing through me
Changing every cell
With a flick of its tongue
Here I go
Up, up, up and… gone
Tomatoes, petunias, and wild roses grew
Windows caught the moonlight
Dreams shimmered in the air
Back when squirrels could talk
I lived in a golden time
We had golden things
Old, unhappy, far-off things
A long, long time ago
When squirrels in Central Park could still talk

Riding on the back of the northwind
Pine needles ‘cross a forest floor
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
Don’t look back
Burn every bridge
Tell everyone to go to hell
Don’t give up
Never say I die
Leave all the past behind
A blowing blue sky
Crashes over highways
Truckers, drifting through the night
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
Don’t look back
Burn every bridge
Tell everyone to go to hell
Don’t give up
Never say die
Leave all the past behind
Strange motel rooms
Darkened bars
A boom town late at night
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
White caps bursting on a river
Shadows ripping through the night
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
Don’t look back
Burn every bridge
Tell everyone to go to hell
Don’t give up
Never say die
Leave all the past behind
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway

On an island in the bay
Hidden far away from sight
Windswept buried out at sea
Fog horns blow past city lights
On an island in the bay
Dreams are lost along the way
What a dark and lonely place
It’s the heart of Pelham Bay
No moon, no stars
Lost world, no looking back
Lost, longing for home
Longing for what we had
On an island in the bay
We can see the far off lights
We’ll all escape one day
Some in spirit, some in flight
No moon, no stars
Lost world, no looking back
Lost, longing for home
Longing for what we had
On an island in the bay
We can see the far off lights
We’ll all escape one day
Some in spirit, some in flight
