Fallen Angel
we are scattered dust and starlight
on a black and timeless sea
to find your home
this side of Heaven
let your tears wash over me
Fallen angel
fallen angel
you can fall
into my arms
I remember in Galliee
a wise man spoke to set you free
left me standing
standing alone
with my hands
still full of stones
Fallen angel
fallen angel
you can fall
into my arms
This love came on like sunrise
felt so sweet
felt so strong
how can it fade?
how can it shatter?
how can it vanish like a song?
fallen angel
fallen angel
you can fall
into my arms
fallen angel
fallen angel
oh please fall
fall into my arms.

Flying
Waiting for the phone to ring
makes the evening so damn long
There's too much time for wondering
where did I go wrong
You've got to fight or
you've got to be sick or
you've got to see someone
You've got to think or
you've got to get some rest or
you've got to be on the run
Now I think I understand
When you're flying across the ocean
there aint no place to land
I've got some letters to write
got some books that I can read
some prayers to say and some tears to shed
and we'll see where that leads
Throw off all that's heavy
while you're flying through this night
We who were not made for oceans
we have the gift of flight
Now I think I understand
When you're flying across the ocean
there aint no place to land
I walk along the river
Let the child within me play
In the silence the trees and rocks
are glad to see me any day
Now I think I understand
When you're flying across the ocean
there aint no place to land
I think I understand
when you're flying across the ocean
there aint no place to land

Grandfather Song
Now you're eighteen and all on your own
out looking for somewhere to call your home
And you come to me now for a drink on the day
when childhood waves goodbye
and skips away
I am your grandfather
You came like a sign
You happened to find me just at
a time when I was feelin old
Old and alone
with no son, no daughter,
no grandchild of my own
So here's to a dancer in a foreign land
who danced for the King and slept with the band
I was just a boy then, I stood in the crowd
kind of bashful and speechless
but I clapped real loud
Now I am your grandfather
and this is your song
You'll find someone you can love
It won't be long
But if he's no good
just tell him goodbye
Come over and see me
if you need to cry
We were born in Orion at the beginning of time
I was an old man then but I felt just fine
You danced through the galaxies
I played in the band
Whirlpool and the Milky Way
were just one night stands
Now I am your grandfather
You came like a sign
You happened to find me just at a
time when I was feelin old
Old and alone
with no son, no daughter
no grandchild of my own

Harmony
Sometimes I think I can hear you
Sometimes I think it's just a dream
and I'm living with all this falling snow
and things aint what they seem
I'm not supposed to say what I'm doing
I'm not suppose to say where I've been
I'm not supposed to care if you're lonely
I'm not supposed to say who I am
But I am half a harmony
Single notes across the sky
and I don't know where to find you
Don't know where that secret lies
I am a child down by the ocean
A boy out on the road
and a man looking out on a new life
and scared of letting go
I want to feel you in my heart
want to hear you in my soul
want to sing beside you
gulls and waves and shore and sand
This is my word my heart my hand
Oh I am half a harmony
single notes across the sun
but I am challenging the silence and the noise
I will know you when you come

High Country
(Fougère Patterson)
Nobody crowds me any more
And I aint got no landlord at my door
at my door
In the high country
the high country
Not too many people come to see me
Maybe they just don't know
where to find
where to find me
in the high country
the high country
And I wish I had my old time friends here by me
Still I know I got them
Here inside
Inside me
In the high country
the high country
the high country"
