We pretend we don’t have sides
And I like to think that I don’t
When I say I’ll never leave
I hope you believe that I won’t
Things were once so simple
As I held you in my arms
I couldn’t save you from anything
But I still tried to shield you from harm
CHORUS
Faccia della luna, (face of the moon)
The sky in your eyes
The sunlight in your smile
Was always a surprise
And I would have chosen
For you not to face this
But face it, brother:
You don’t face this alone
~
My years with you
Are defined by change
But each season
Seems to turn out fine
I know this one feels like the end
Of the road, but please-
Give us a little more time
We were always moving
Same directions
In different ways
Like telephone lines
On the same conversation
Confused by untimely delays

Wise One – hear us – the times are getting strange
Discern our past, our ancient days
She says listen close, I've got something to say:
Beauty of the middle way
Hear us, Hear us, Hear us
Teach us, Teach us
Listen, Listen, Listen:
Middle way
Teacher, time to teach us, we are asking for the way
Teachers, we’re all teachers, gotta listen every day
Teacher, time to teach us, we are asking for the way
Teachers, we’re all teachers – Listen – Speaking clear

Rumi's Waterbead
02:22

|
you've been scared of being absorbed into the ground
you've been scared of being caught up into the sky
now your waterbead lets go
to the ocean where you're home again

Am I reserved, uptight?
Unrelenting with my masks?
Don’t know when the time is right
My conflicting eyes that always want
to ask…
Let’s be body, let’s be soul
Don’t know the future, try now
Inspiration takes its toll--
Always hearing how it could sound,
Never get to find out
CHORUS
Look at the sky this evening
As it travels towards the west
Every detail always fleeting
In its movement and its rest
When I wake up I’ll stop waiting;
The sun won’t wait on me to move
If I’m foolish, I’ll fall laughing;
I’ve got nothing left to prove
~
So if I'm quiet, don't be shy
And if I'm staring into space
You can be certain that I
Just have sealegs on the ocean
That I found in your face
