Lyrics
RIVER QUEEN
There's a river
she's the queen
Running from
mountains so clean
Flowing down
white as a bride
People know her
seductive and wild
Still we love
her eternal pulse
We are frightened
when she reminds us
of the power
that she holds
Treat her gently
she's got her own soul
From time to time
the queen is running wild
and sometimes crying
just like a child
From time to time
she decorates
the walls around
and celebrates
One day she became
this raging thing
that no one's ever seen before
Like hell came raining down
from above
What had she become
She tore down the town
while she screamed out loud
Black rain poured down from the clouds
The message was clear
The queen will decide
It's not to be misunderstood
From time to time
the queen is running wild
and sometimes crying
just like a child
From time to time
she decorates
her walls around
and she celebrates
There's a river
she's the queen
Still running from
mountains so clean
She's so beautiful
but she can be mean
Still we love her
She's the river queen

THIS PLACE CALLED LOVE
I still recall, the first words we said
First time we touched
The wine we shared
The dream we built
The life we lived
contains stories that never leave
The views we had, the plans we made
Still holding hands
I’m glad we stayed
When you call my name
I look at you
Now we are here, I know it’s true
Years gone by, we left our traces
More to come, fill in blank pages
Words engraved in the ring of gold
We ended up in this place called love
We got so far, still got pages to write
Pictures and memories
are clear and bright
What might come
I don’t know
All I know, is that I love you so
Years gone by, we left our traces
More to come, fill in blank pages
Words engraved in the ring of gold
Here in this place called love
Years gone by, we left our traces
More to come, fill in blank pages
Words engraved in the ring of gold
We ended up in this place called love
In this place called love

THE ISLAND
Welcome to the island
and life here by the sea
The path is over where
sun shining through the trees
Take it slow and easy
storms are left behind
Enjoy this place and I believe
you'll find your peace of mind
Stay here if you like
you’re always welcome here
Your spot is anywhere
signed imagineer
When your ship left harbour
luggage in your hand
Don’t need it anymore
step lightly on this land
Island life can let you know
what to keep and best let go
Island life is good for you
sharpens sight for all thats true
Find your ship and be prepared
rules are different when you're here
Kindly see yourself and others
in good time we’re sisters and brothers
We all have an island
waiting for your tide
You’ll find your map behind
a barrier inside
When you are at ease
the course ahead is clear
You can set your sail again
and find a treasure there
Island life can let you know
what to keep and best let go
Island life is good for you
sharpens sight for all thats true
Find your ship and be prepared
rules are different when you're here
Kindly see yourself and others
in good time we’re sisters and brothers

SOMETIMES
Sometimes I sit here and think,
how different life could have been
If I walked the other way,
who knows where I could have been
What if I missed that train,
where would I be today
If I didn’t get out that night,
things could have turned out another way
What if I answered the phone,
who could it be that called
What if I opened that door,
would I enter, or just ignore
Sometimes I think, I’ll never be free
from the choices I made
and thoughts of what could have been
Sometimes I’m certain
Sometimes I just know
I’ve got it all right,
no need to wonder no more
Sometimes I sit here and think,
would it have mattered at all
If I ended up somewhere else,
and I really did answer that call
No one seems to know
the answers, I am looking for
But somehow I let it go
I did my best, I can do no more
Sometimes I think, I’ll never be free
from the choices I made
and thoughts of what could have been
Sometimes I’m certain
Sometimes I just know
I’ve got it all right,
no need to wonder no more
Sometimes I sit here and think

THE HEALER
In this state of confusion,
damn the warnings, I seek her out
Is the healer an illusion?
Moving on, I'm killing doubt
It’s like I've lost my own free will,
like I am led, gives me a chill
Welcome, you've found this place
You have been lost in your own maze
Welcome from years astray
Look in the mirror, don't look away
Don't look away, oh no
I need to break my meditation,
get away from the healer's gaze
I look around in desperation,
tasting terror, feel my heart race
It’s like I've lost my own free will
Like I am led, gives me a chill
Welcome, you've found this place
You have been lost in your own maze
Welcome from years astray
Look in the mirror, don't look away
Don't look away, oh no
If I take your pain away,
for a week, a month or a day
And you do not change your ways
I know it soon comes back to stay
Welcome, you've found this place
You have been lost in your own maze
Welcome from years astray
Look in the mirror
Don't look away
Welcome, you've found this place
You have been lost in your own maze
Welcome from years astray
Look in the mirror, don't look away
Oh no, don't you look away
Don't you look away

THE BOOK
The book is open, the story's there
If you will, you can read it here
All this time, all that we've been through
It still goes on, about me and you
Chapter one was dreams and desire
Our hearts, were totally on fire
We were one, something more than ourselves
The book was sitting quietly, on the shelf
Champagne and parties, it went on and on
No worries, no trouble, it was not yet dawn
We loved, and we laughed, and we lived our dream
Summer turned to autumn floating down that stream
Time went on, chapter seven came along
And suddenly, it all could be gone
Tried to repair with words so gentle
Forgiveness can blow out like a candle
For weeks and months it's all depression
Waiting in darkness for confession
Then carefully slowly, a gentle smile
Lights up your face, and gives me hope for a while
We promise to try, and reach for chapter ten
We're closing the book, and start a new again
And now all can see, the truth in this story,
is you and me
The book is open, the story's there
If you will, you can read it here
