On a day like this, a hundred lifetimes ago You on a shore, across the point I looked through my hands and you drew me your mind When you were mine When you were mine When you were mine When you were mine On a world like this, a hundred turns left to go Deep in a room, which I’ve never seen Outside it’s so cold but I’m waiting for time When you were mine When you were mine When you were mine When you were mine Plenty of islands between now and then Rocks break the boats of the painted face men And they drown, and they’re born And they live once again And this all happens When you were mine In a storm like this, a hundred kisses of snow You with another so easily sleep What’s real and what’s dreamt become close and entwine When you were mine When you were mine When you were mine When you were mine ---

Oden in the sky up high Let the ravens of yours fly To guide us on our sail to foreign shores Let your ravens fly The wind blows through my hair and fills our sails with hope and pride Caress these lines of oak wind, do not throw us all aside The wild cold deep black ocean’s waves as wide as sky above Carry us, oh Gods of sea, don’t take us down below Now approach the shore at dawn All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born Clad in morning dew asleep The city’s walls rise before us men from the seas Carrying cold steel at our sides No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise Down the coastlines with the wind we reign Men of the North we leave the shores in flames Shores in Flames…ahh, Shores in Flames Shores in Flames…ahh, Shores in Flames Fire! ---

Nothing’s so loud As hearing when we lie The truth is not kind And you’ve said neither am I But the air outside so soft Is saying everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close, to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, hear it say Nothing’s so cold As closing the heart when all we need Is to free the soul But we wouldn’t be that brave I know And the air outside so soft, Confessing everything Everything All I want is to feel this way To be this close to feel the same All I want is to feel this way The evening speaks, I feel it say And it won’t matter now Whatever happens will be Though the air speaks of all we’ll never be It won’t trouble me ---

Gracefully she’s circling higher She has the wind beneath her wings And looks down on us, she said Robbed of my innocence Had no more time to play I sure got my feathers burned But I’m stronger than the flames Here she comes, here she comes I’ve been waiting for so long Here she comes, rose again from the flames My little phoenix Eternity is set in her eyes Throwing sparks back at the world That’ll never die and I think She was robbed of her innocence Had no more time to play She’s only a little girl But she’s stronger than the flames ---

Love comes to you and you follow Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the wind with its arms All around me Lost on a wave and then after Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the wind with so many around me Lost in the city Lost in their eyes as you hurry by Counting the broken ties they decide Love comes to you and then after Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise Lost on a wave that you’re dreaming Dram on on to the heart of the sunrise Sharp distance How can the wind with its arms all around me Sharp distance How can the wind with so many around me I feel lost in the city ---

Sunrise, and the new day’s breakin’ through The morning of another day without you And as the hours roll by No-one’s there to see me cry Except the sunrise… The sunrise and you. Aaah, aaah Aaah, aaah oooh Tired eyes drift across the shore Looking for love and nothing more But as the sea rolls by No-one’s there to see me cry Except the sunrise… The sunrise and you. Sunrise - bless my eyes Catch my soul - make me whole again ---

A lady with a violin playing to the seals Hearken to the sound of calling Who tied my hands to the wheel? The zodiac turns over me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see? I tied myself to the wheel The winds talk to my sails, not me (Come to me) Somewhere there my fate revealed I hear but how will I see? ---

Hate New York City It’s cold and it’s damp And all the people dressed like monkeys Let’s leave Chicago to the Eskimos That town’s a little too rugged For you and me, you bad girl Rollin’ down the Imperial Highway With a big nasty redhead at my side Santa Ana winds blowin’ hot from the north And we was born to ride Roll down the window, put down the top Crank up the Beach Boys, baby Don’t let the music stop We’re gonna ride it till we just can’t ride it no more From the South Bay to the Valley From the West Side to the East Side Everybody’s very happy 'Cause the sun is shining all the time Looks like another perfect day I Love L.A. (We love it) I Love L.A. (We love it) _[ETA: Actually I love NYC, it’s my 3rd favorite city in North America. As for Chicago…well…]_ ---

I’ll never forget the day We motored stately into big L.A. The lights of the city put settlin’ Down in my brain. Though it’s only been a month or so, That old car’s buggin’ us to go. We’ve gotta get away and get back on The road again. ---
