Candle In the Winds
(A Tribute to Princess Diana)

Goodbye England's rose
may you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart

You called out to our country
and you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
and the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here
among England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost
these empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
for our nation's golden child

And even though we try
the truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
the joy you brought us through the years

Goodbye, England's rose
from a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
more than you'll ever know





Skyline Pigeon

Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway

For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors
Of the world outside
Thinking of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn
From purple into grey

For just a Skyline Pigeon
Dreaming of the open
Waiting for the day
He can spread his wings
And fly away again
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind

Just let me wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay
To laugh and cry, to live and die
In the brightness of my day

I want to hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun





Can You Feel The Love Tonight
(from the soundtrack movie, The Lion King)

There's a calm surrender to the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
