Lyrics for CD Move Like Water


SPIN

You’re in my dreams
Up on the screen

You don’t need to know
Where I go
To be with you

Sometimes when I swim
I can breathe water in
Without fear
But it’s never clear
Just where I am

I lay my hand on your heart
Softly breathe, slowly start
You hold me up, I pull you down
I hold you close, we spin around

Awake or asleep
I want to keep
The kisses I take
The waves that you make
Wash over me

I lay my hand on your heart
Softly breathe, slowly start
You hold me up, I pull you down
I hold you close, we spin around


NORTH

Beauty above me
Beauty below me, to my left and to my right
I met my love beneath the moon, beneath the Full Flower Moon
Laughing and walking, I tried to say “I love you”

East
Direction of the child inside us
South
Direction of the hero
West
Direction of the fading light
North
Direction of goodnight

Hearing the thunder
I can believe we did not weave the web of life
I met my love beneath the moon, beneath the Night Fire Moon
Searching and waiting, I tried to say “I love you”

East
South
West
North

Here on the mountain
There is an answer in the hoop of earth and sky
I met my love beneath the moon, beneath the Strawberry Moon
Weeping and shining, I tried to say “I love you”
“I love you”

East
Direction of the child inside us
South
Direction of the hero
West
Direction of the fading light
North
Direction of goodnight
Goodnight


LIFE CAN BE

Life can be so silly sometimes
Life can also be sublime
Life can be just dumb and dull
But life with you is wonderful

Life can take me for a ride
Life can be so full of jive
Life is mostly push and pull
But life with you is wonderful

Life with you is wonderful
It fills me up and makes me go
Life with you is wonderful
It fills me up and makes me go

But when I’m sleeping
My brain is thinking
Of so many dreams

And when I wake up
Don’t want to get up
But this day could hold anything
(‘cause life with you is wonderful)

Life can be so thrilling sometimes
Life can lose all reason and rhyme
Life can be so full of bull
But life with you is wonderful

Life can be so small and soft
Life can sometimes get me off
Life can be so damn brutal
But life with you is wonderful

Life with you is wonderful
It fills me up and makes me go
Life with you is wonderful
It fills me up and makes me go

And on the weekends
I visit my friends
And life seems pretty good

But when it’s Monday
It’s back to “get paid”
But it’s worth getting through
(‘cause life with you is wonderful)


INSTEAD

In my house, in my room
In my fantasies, I’m here with you
In my mind, in my bed
I’m always lying here with you
Instead

In my life, I get wired
I get occupied, I get tired
I go on, it gets loud, it goes dark
I get through
I would tell you what I do
If I knew what I do

In my house, in my room
In my fantasies, I’m here with you
In my mind, in my bed
I’m always lying here with you
Instead
Instead


SHE

She sings a song I cannot hear
She wrings her hands when I’m not near
She waits until to me it’s clear
She is the voice that whispers in my ear

When she speaks, I listen
When she cries, I melt
When she walks, I follow
When she screams, I mumble

She waves a flag I cannot fight
She wants my joy to be a light
She floats around me like a kite
She smiles sweetly when it is night

When she falls, I wonder
When she calls, I glow
When she asks, I wander
When she knows, I know


FLIGHT

In their minds they were like birds
They thought it was possible
To evade the Earth’s grasp
In their minds they were like birds

In their minds they were like birds
The help they needed to realize their wish
Proved dangerous
In their minds they were like birds
But what was the point of wishing to fly?
Gravity was too strong

In their minds they were like birds
They thought it was possible
To evade the Earth’s grasp
In their minds they were like birds

It’s not as if wings could sprout
But I’m afraid to strap on a rocket

In their minds they were like birds
But even birds one day will fall
In their dreams they were like birds
But even birds one day will fall


STARSTUFF

I was standing there alone and then you took my hand
In it I felt something soft, like a grain of sand
Only smaller – it must’ve been stardust
The stuff that sifts down through the air
The same stuff that’s floating down, down over Alpha Centauri

And to your lips you took my hand
And so my thoughts wandered from that grain of sand
From that grain of sand or the stardust, but if I’m thinking or not
The stardust continues to fall

The stardust continues to fall
And coats our hands, our bodies and our tears
And as the years pass, I know this dust will cover us
As surely as I am standing here, holding your hand


DELIGHT

Delight is here, from year to year
I steer towards you watching as the road less travels starts to fill
Delight in my heart, I can’t even start
To contain the life you give, to contain the light you shed

Wonder fills my eyes, but so do tears
Of hope, of pain, of delight
In sounds I hear your voice, in sights I see your smile

I don’t need to see you, you can be here when you’re not
Delight is always heeded, feelings I want can’t be bought
Delight in my heart keeps it beating
I sense no limits, the eternal delights me

Delight is there and while I stare
The main road empties

In sounds I hear your laugh, in sights I see your hands
Reaching out to me, delight and desire
Delight and desire


LOÏE & MARIE

Meeting in the garden
Serendipity
Chemistry, fluidity
Loïe and Marie

“Give me light to dance by
Luminosity
I want silk shot through with starlight,”
Loïe told Marie

In the lab’ratory
You will find Marie
Sometimes all that can’t be seen
Is all that she can see

Crystal radiation
Dream of energy
But “this is how I move like water”
Loïe told Marie

“Stay a while,” Marie replied
“Share a pot of tea”
Chemistry, fluidity
Loïe and Marie

Loïe and Marie
Loïe and Marie
Loïe and Marie
Loïe and Marie


GIRL WITH A GOLDEN FRAME

There are no other levels
There is no God or devil

I bring complete devotion
But my needs could fill an ocean
Some days I feel so ready
Most days these days I feel so incredibly ready

Girl with a golden frame
I don’t like to explain
Girl with a golden frame

I want, I feel
You cut and I’ll deal
I know I should keep moving
But I just can’t keep from looking, looking at what I do

Girl with a golden frame
I don’t like to explain
Girl with a golden frame

Girl with a golden frame
Filled with gems and endless tears


OCTOBER

What is love? I wish I knew
There’s no solution - everything I thought was wrong
What is love? What’s there to do?
Don’t know what’s true - I keep trying to write this song

The questions keep on coming – the road divides and I don’t know which way
I’m just hoping, I’m just hoping to keep my skin from burning
So many are turning away everyday

Will it end? I wish I knew
Summer is over – still this goes on
Will it end? I stay confused
I’m still not sleeping – and I’m up before it’s dawn

And when the wind blows at night, it isn’t silent, isn’t right
I listen, always listen – I’m waiting
And hidden like a hand in glove, there are so many ways to love
I can’t wait for that sign from above anymore

Will it end? I wish I knew
Summer is over – still this goes on
Will it end? I stay confused
I’m still not sleeping – and I’m up before it’s dawn

And when the wind blows at night, it isn’t silent, isn’t right
I listen, always listen – I’m waiting
And hidden like a hand in glove, there are so many ways to love
I can’t wait for that sign from above any more

What is love? I wish I knew
There’s no solution - everything I thought was wrong
What is love? What’s there to do?
Don’t know what’s true - I keep trying to write this song


PART-TIME JOB

No wisdom, no time, no treasure, no answers
Had nothing all mine, ‘til my part-time job
My mom stayed at home, her life was a trap
But now stars and moons, spill into my lap

I got myself a part-time job, I got a part-time job
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I got a part-time job
I used to be really productive, before I was part of the grind
Productive and very constructive, and losing my mind

Now three days a week, I walk through that door
Didn’t know what I was missing and now I want more, I want more
And all that I do and all of you people
I am aching for you and my part-time job

I got myself a part-time job, I got a part-time job
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I got a part-time job
Changing my life in a heartbeat, I could’ve laid there in bed
I could’ve taken it easy, or I could be dead

My mom stayed at home, her life was a trap
But now stars and moons, spill into my lap
No wisdom, no time, no treasure, no answers
Had nothing all mine, ‘til my part-time job

(Thank God I don’t work full-time!)


NOT ENOUGH

Sometimes you need me, I try to be there
Always you feed me and always I care
Touching your fingers, knowing your fears
Laughing your laughter and tasting your tears

Sometimes you need someone, but you don’t call
Sometimes you make it through, sometimes you fall
That’s where I wanta be, sometimes it’s rough
Knowing you feel like I’m there’s not enough
Knowing you feel like I’m there’s not enough

Not enough, when I want to be there in your reaching arms
In your reaching eyes
But you close your eyes and wrap me around you when I’m not around
And you close your eyes

Here is my reason and here’s why I strive
Bringing my life to you makes me alive
Hearing your secrets, spending a while
Bringing you peace of mind, seeing your smile

I know you’re strong, I know you’re free
You can take care of yourself, but let me
That’s where I wanta be, sometimes it’s rough
Knowing you feel like I’m there’s not enough
Knowing you feel like I’m there’s not enough

Not enough, when I want to be there in your reaching arms
In your reaching eyes
But you close your eyes and wrap me around you when I’m not around
And you close your eyes


WONDER

Tell me Tell me
Tell me of the wonder

Don’t tell me what you see
Don’t tell me what you hear

Tell me Tell me
Tell me of the wonder

Don’t tell me what you see
Don’t tell me what you hear

When you see me walking, watch my step
When you hear me talking, hold your breath

Tell me Tell me
of the wonder

When you hear me laughing, don’t forget
When you see me passing, no regret

Tell me you can tell me
Tell me of the wonder

You don’t have to draw me pictures
You don’t have to write me words
Just tell me
