Here we are now in Bica
Arranging thoughts in my head
Belem, Alfama, the Mercado
Finally here in Bica
Having trouble finding a home
Dreams of Portland, the desert, and you know
But time to be here now, on St. Anthony‘s day
There were mermaids atop the calçada
Bica, I don’t want to be anywhere else
Let it go, forget now
People were out celebrating
Old rituals had begun, plans were made
Young ladies looking for a suitor,
The day arrived, it had come at last
Bica, the spirit here was so alive
Seize the day, seize the night
Please be here, by my side
On the plane home, in my ears
A song that I know upsets me deeply
And I know it got you too
What a funny time we’re living through
Bica, I’ve got questions, have you got the answers?
With it all in front of me

Family Tree

Forget the family tree
Forget what you see
Put it all behind
And we’ll recover
Until then we’ll meet
Until then we’ll greet
Formally, hands shaking
And we’ll recover, we’ll recover
Forget now, Forget now
While we’re still here
Not while we’re here
Not right here
Forsake the family tree
For what’s here today
Don’t you forget about me
And we’ll recover, we’ll recover, we’ll recover
So Goodbye, Goodbye
What does it mean a legacy, a fallacy
Don’t let the ties that bind
Force us away
At arm’s-length, at bay
And we’ll recover, we’ll recover, we’ll recover

All that counts is here
Petals on the rocky sea
Smoking cigars
And listening to the tree
Catch your next breath
Catch your next breath
What is my dream?
My dream is here with you
Walking on Balmès afraid, afraid
Where the men crave the same
Catch your next breath
Your next breath
Around the question goes
How, when, to answer
As it all comes into view
The choice we made, here, unspoken
Catch your next breath
Your next breath
As dusk slips away
The night unfolds the scene
Deep in the heart, deep in the beat
That’s where I want to be
After every step
After all of this
Work it out with me

Don't Let Your Eagle Die
04:04
|

|
I needed, wanted, something to get me through this
I had to follow you down from this higher place
Let fly,
Don’t let your eagle die
Oh what joy, the wind as collider with me
Turbulent but free,
Take me higher, up and under
Let fly,
Don’t let your eagle die
Give me courage, faith, and good reason
To keep me here, let the sky carry me
Glide through the night
Arc into the sky (glide, glide),
Arc into the sky
Let fly,
Don’t let your eagle die
Arise, arise
Fly, survive
It’s hard to survive
The night, sunrise

Enough is Enough
04:04

Sometimes, enough is enough
For it takes up all the hours of the day, that I’ve got
What would I give, for it to not be the same
I know what it takes, but I just can’t get it
I know why it is, but I just can’t have it all
It’s been a long time, to waste all of mine
The whole room shakes,the silence breaks,
The damage it does
What the damage now awakes
Unearthed inside of me
I know why it aches and how to cure it
I know what to do now to ease it
You had your time, get out of mine
I know what it takes, but I just can’t get it
I know why it is, but I just can’t have it all
You had your time, get out of mine
Enough is enough, enough is enough is enough
Enough is enough, enough is enough is enough, is enough
To take all my time,
To waste all of mine,
You had your time,
Get out of mine

Fear No End
03:42
|

|
So let go, time won’t stop
For no one, constant it goes
Count them all, counting all the stars
Into the night, I let fly arrows
I fear no end, I fear no
I fear no end
Find another way, another light
Burn all your desires, into the night
So tell all, your hopes and fears
Time will pass, see it turn
I fear no end, I fear no
I fear no end
I fear no end, I fear no
I fear no end

Well it could be worse,
And not have the choice,
Relax,
Take it easy
What’s there to worry about
Now you’ve clawed it all back
Like the swimmer who can’t swim
I needed to know, how it goes
I tried to learn how, the lengths that we take
But I did not realise, freedom, fear, hand-in-hand together with them, be free again
So here I go, push away from the edge
Down the middle, around the bend
People stop, stare, I’m not the only one about
But it don’t matter,
You got out there and went for it
The doer, your future
Not the watcher, but participator, the racer, go-getter
Faster, forward, here we go
Like the swimmer needs the shore
The people helped me out of the water
The joy it gave to me
‘Are you crazy’ one guy said
‘You’re not supposed to go in there’
I missed the signs
As I went faster,
Faster, forward, further, deeper
I left them all way back, I left them all way back
I can’t remember the way back, I left them all way back
Like the swimmer needs the shore,
Like the swimmer needs the shore

Wax Wings

Slowly with love,
Wax wings
Though I got down, the best
Part was up, at least I got up
Scribbled on the door, the beauty I saw
On the bottom to the left
All good things come to an end
So why not just start again
Wax wings
Helped me to fly, all through the night.
