Monkey and the Mushroom

This is the story of the Monkey and the Mushroom
How the knock of the spore opened door after door
For the mind of mankind to bloom
"What's the key?" said the Monkey to the Mushroom
He said "The word is the seed for the ground that you need"
For the mind of mankind to bloom
And the blossoming stars
Gracefully unfold
Into a sparkling garden
For all of mankind to behold
"Now I see" said the Monkey to the Mushroom
How the knock of the spore opened door after door
For the mind of mankind to bloom

Four of Cups
03:30
|
|||
|
With a cup of golden tea
Beneath a sky of sapphire blue
To uplift your downcast eyes
That's how I show my love to you
See My Love - See My Love
Do you See My Love for you?
Oh my love - Can't you see my love
In the things I do?
With a glass of ruby wine
Beneath the moon I hung for you
Above the hearth inside my heart
That's how you know my love is true
A half a glass of ruby wine
An empty cup of golden tea
A kiss upon a waning cheek
Is that how well you think of me?

Lord Franklin
04:06

|
It was homeward bound one night on the deep
Swinging in my hammock I fell asleep
I dreamed a dream and I thought it true
Concerning Franklin and his gallant crew
With one hundred sea men he sailed away,
To the frozen ocean in the month of May,
To seek a passage around the pole
Where we poor sailors do sometimes go
Through cruel hardships they vainly strove
Their ship on mountains of ice they drove
Only the Eskimo in his skin canoe
Was the only one that ever came through
In Baffin bay where the whale-fish blow
The fate of Franklin no man may know
The fate of Franklin no tongue may tell
Where Franklin along with his sailors do dwell
And now my burden it brings me pain
For my long lost Franklin I would cross the main
Ten thousand pounds I would freely give
To say on this Earth that my Franklin still lives

Love is Forever
02:49
|
|||
|
Turn out the light
She disappears inside the night
Wearing only a shadow
Where did she go?
Laughter sprinkles gardens
In language long forgotten
Perfume stains the air
But she's not there
Love is Forever
Forever is today
Love waits forever
She slips away
He wakes alone
To coffee and cinnamon
He vaguely recalls
A feeling of falling
Bright sunlight chases
Loves dreamy traces
Back into the cracks
Of his wall
Love is Forever
Forever is today
Love waits forever
He slips away

Wild Mountain Thyme

Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the Wild Mountain Thyme
Blooms around the purple heather
Will you go lassie go
I will build my love a tower
By the crystal flowing fountain
And on it I will lay
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together
To pluck Wild Mountain Thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go
And if my true love won't come with me
I will surely find another
To pluck Wild Mountain Thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go
And we'll all go together
To pluck Wild Mountain Thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go
