OUTSIDE

OUTSIDE

I’m keeping a fly
Keeping a fly for you
Outside
Keeping a fly
I’m keeping a fly for you
Outside
Outside

STRANGEL
English

STRANGEL

Welcome to the wind
Please step all the way back to the boat
Count the stars
One two three four
That’s what we are fighting for

Like the pleasure and the pain
Like the wind through the rain
“if you stay with me” she said
“you’ll never make it alone”

Strangel, what kind of ground, what kind of ground
Strangel, what kind of ground are you dancing on ?

I’m keeping the flowers, though they have no stems
Run horses, down to the sea, run to the edge of the land

Strangel, what kind of ground, what kind of ground
Strangel, what kind of ground are you dancing on ?

“crystal” she said, and then I started to glide

Run horses, down to the sea, our friends need a helping hand

Strangel, what kind of ground, what kind of ground
Strangel, what kind of ground are you dancing on ?

SPEED OF NIGHT
English

SPEED OF NIGHT

Lay down by my side
Let us watch the universe
Steal a little time
Take a little breath

Speed of night, speed of night

Four wings, one night
Two souls touching on one side
But both sides of the universe

I hear the moon, the witness
I hear the hand that caresses
The head of the sleeper
And as the night evanesces
The distant siren madness

Speed of night, speed of night

I hear the whale underground
Carrying people around
The city’s maze
Oh whale, your journey is long
Take us to where we belong

Yes you can enter my heart
A little dance for a start
Yes you can enter my heart
Please leave the door open

Speed of night, speed of night

Lay down by my side
I whisper in you ears
The few words I have learned
The few words from the wind

DONNEZ LES ESPRITS
English

DONNEZ LES ESPRITS

Fire woman take my missing hand
With your glow you’re painting my shadow
We’ll find a way, walk across the dancers
We’ll find the pieces missing in the heart

Donnez les esprits, donnes les esprits

For those of us living the cloud, is it blue ?
For those who know what it’s all about, is it true
What they say in the riversky ?

Keep your promise, keep your promised land
With your bow now you aim at my shadow

Donnez les esprits, donnes les esprits

I’ll pay a visit to the medicine man
I’ll wait for you in the dreaming light

For those of us living the cloud, is it blue ?
For those who know what it’s all about, is it true
What they say in the riversky ?

Donnez les esprits, donnes les esprits

MOON REVOLUTIONS
English

MOON REVOLUTIONS

I’m flying, flying over the visible men
I’m knowing I once was one of them
I’m flying above the towers of greed
Calling all the dreamers
Calling the moon revolutions
Now I’m with the eagle
Travelling night and day
Calling the moon revolutions
I’m dreaming
I’m coming to your place, visiting your face
We’re walking through a land
We both have in our hand
Now I’m with the eagle
But I’m no man of prey

Look down the statue has raised both her hands
What does it mean to you ?
I can remember the name of the land
What does it mean : together ?

Now I’m with the eagle
Dreaming night and day

Look down the statue has raised both her hands
What does it mean to you ?
I can remember the name of the land
What does it mean : together ?

The men started the dancing
The women are gently swaying
What are the children singing ?
Outside
Oh, little wind, we have no place to hide
Outside, outside
Dance little wind, show us the world around
Oh little wind, show us the ways to kiss the ground
What side, outside
Pas fermer les cieux ce soir
Pas fermer les cieux
What side, outside

I’m the arrow now
I’m piercing up the sky
I’m looking for a heart
Looking for my eagle heart
What are the children singing ?
What are the children singing ?
I’m calling the moon
What are the children singing ?
What are the children singing ?
Calling the moon revolutions
Calling the moon revolutions
Calling the moon revolutions

KISSING THE SUN
English

KISSING THE SUN

Soon we will be on our way
Say goodbye to yesterday

Soon we will be in the light
Swimming in the open sky

Rain boys and girls
Here comes the magic swirl
Strap it on

We’ll spread our wings around the stars
Watch the way we drop our scars

We will be kissing the sun
Everybody knows
We will be kissing the sun
One and one
With the one you’ve chosen

We’ll spread our wings as we get higher
Spread our wings into the fire

We will be kissing the sun
Everybody knows
We will be kissing the sun
One and one
And the thing explodes

Rain boys and girls
The healing swirl

(we’re gonna) spy the spy
(when) we’ll be back we’ll give a call
Meet the pigs in heaven

We will be kissing the sun
Kissing the sun
We will be kissing the sun

THE DREAMHOUSE
English

THE DREAMHOUSE

What are they doing in the dreamhouse ?
What are they doing my friends ?

Are they practicing a language
Learning to turn the page
Finding words of praise
To keep their eyes ablaze ?

What are they doing in the dreamhouse ?
What are they doing today ?

Are they caressing the light
Holding each other tight
Are they visiting the heartscape
Giving their dreams a shape

I’m getting heaven from you
I’m getting heaven from you
I’m getting heaven from you
I’m getting heaven from you

What are they doing in the dreamhouse ?

I think I know now what is wrong from what is right
Cos what is right tends to fade away from sight
I was lost in a daze I heard you call my name
I’m leaving now my friends but you know I wish you well

What are they doing ?
What are they doing ?

I think I know now what is wrong from what is right
Cos what is right tends to fade away from sight

What are they doing ?
What are they doing ?
What are they doing ?
What are they doing ?

LOINTAINE

LOINTAINE

Lointaine, où étions-nous
Quand la nuit se fit nôtre ?
Lointaine, où étions-nous
Et nous l’offrions à d’autres

Certains t’ont vue dans la chaleur
Certains t’ont vue dans les hauteurs
Certains t’ont vue dans donner du coeur
Certains t’ont vue…
Offrir

Lointaine, où étions-nous
Quand la nuit se fit rêve ?
Lointaine, où étions-nous

Certains t’ont vue dans la chaleur
Certains t’ont vue dans les hauteurs
Certains t’ont vue dans donner du coeur
Certains t’ont vue…
Offrir

Lointaine, où étions-nous ?

CHILD IN THE TREE
English

CHILD IN THE TREE

Child in the tree
You’re so high
Child in the tree
Look at the world down there

Child in the tree
You’re to high
Child in the tree
Nobody’ll get you down again

Someone must have been talking
The blue men came along
Someone must have been talking
The whole place ran away

Child in the tree
You’re so high
Child in the tree
Just when the poison gets inside

Child in the tree
You’re too high
Child in the tree
Nobody’ll get you down alive
