Setting Sail
02:02

Oh how long we have waited for our ship to set sail
Take us away and carry us out to sea
In the water
We are free... x3
With a pinless compass
Setting sail...x3
In the heart of the earth.

Hum Strum
04:05
|
|||
I'd rather take my time and lose some sleep at night
Rather than hurry fast towards some peace of mind
I want to hear my voice when I am silent and the silence when I speak
Even though the music's gone, I won't let it weaken me
Hum to the West and Strum to the East
Two hearts, two drums to pound, two separate beats
Listen to my heart and it beated
It beated to it's own drum and the drum slowly faded
I faded till I could no longer hear it
Instrumental
Bridge, Chorus
My heart moves to the beat, to the rhythm, to the heart of the earth
From the rain and the water and the tide of the moon
In the circle of life, circling breath of the tree down through it's roots.
In the heart of the earth.

Great White North
05:03
|
|||
The cold white snow fills our backyard.
We are alone, living up in the tundra far from where we came from
The turning wheels of the cars slow at this time of year
The birds song becomes silence to my ears
I don't mind living like this, it's the very first time that I've found peace
With no rules and little resources, quietly up in the Great White North
Late in the evening, we fasten our snow shoes
Walk out in to the night
Above the fir trees, the glow of the dancing Northern Lights
I don't mind living like this, it's the very first time that I found peace
With no rules and little resources, quietly up in the Great White North
(vocal stuff)
I don't mind living like this, it's the very first time that I found peace
With no rules and little resources, quietly up in the Great White North

The Alchemist
04:07
|
|||
All our lives we are dreaming of gold
We forget it's these moments and not what we're sold
We focus and fret until we get old
Put a price on our heads
Treasure gold over lead
Cus no amount of treasure has the right to be measured
Lead will stay lead when turned by a pessimist
No gold can made for pleasure, were the words of the alchemist.
(Instrumental)
Put a price on our heads, treasure gold over lead, x2
Cus no amount of treasure has the right to be measured
Lead will stay lead when turned by a pessimist
No gold can made for pleasure, were the words of the alchemist.
(Put a price on our heads, treasure gold over lead)....

Aurora Borealis

Lover take me away
let my deepest dreams unveil
you know i've let them go astray
Drop the anchor, rest the sails
Now in the stars, their purpose revealed
In time all things are
A message from the Gods
supposing their real
It pulls on my body
takes my imagination
consumes my thoughts
a foul vacation
Now we go on home.
Across the shadows fill
fill the darkened sky
Only the green of the northern lights
And I often feel frightened
by the thunder in her eyes
It's a crystallized dream when it shines
all the wonders of the world in her eyes
(In her eyes...x3)
Aurora
Aurora
Aurora
Borealis
(in her eyes...)

Almost Always
03:51
|

I look back and I see you on the roadside but I drive away
We shed a tear then we move on with our heads up
Cus we are bound by fate
But I will love you, almost always
An outlaw with a mugshot and a warrant.
No bank, no home, no phone.
Seven dollars attached to his name, he goes where he is not known
But I will love you, almost always
I came to you and I found you in the country and that's where you'll stay
Live out your every day in sunlight and try to stay awake
But I will love you, almost always x3
The things I can't change, the time that we spent
The way I feel for you the words that I meant
They have all faded now.
Though moments remain clear
The one thing I hold dear
Is that I will love you, almost always x2
I look back I still see you on that roadside but I drive away.

A caravan pulls in to the Eastern land
dust did not touch the brass of the wheels
travellers from a far off star
under a mountain, over a veil
they knew not the tales of the old
and heeded not the wails of the old
With a pinless compass, setting sail x2
Too few rest in a place too cold for words
and fewer left run with wild herds
Almost none, ride beneath the sun
Almost all have not begun
Many hours spent, spending them
and fewer left contending when
When the mountain makes its call x2
When the mountain makes it call x2
With a pinless x3 compass!

Lover where have you been?
The ground is dry but the tide is coming in
and I don't know if I'll stay afloat
Cus in the water I can breath, don't ya know?
We've been dragging a heavy hand over shapes in the sand
But the water will wash it all away.
And I don't know if I'll stay or if I will go.
Cus in the water I am free, don't ya know?
With a pinless compass setting sail x4
