Old bones taking me back
Old worlds taking me back
Resting on the souls of long ago
Old dreams taking me back
Old loves taking me back
Carrying us on wings of days long past
Trees with leaves
for dreams
A dance that never ends
That only you can know
From the roots to the sky
Sylvan slippers, rings of time
In the gloaming of this world
Back where memories lie
I keep longing for
Old bones taking me back
Old worlds taking me back
Resting on the souls of long ago
New roads leading me home
New hearts leading me home
Setting sail for ancient lands unknown
Trees with leaves
for dreams
A dance that never ends
That only you can know
From the roots to the sky
Sylvan slippers, rings of time
In the gloaming of this world
Back where memories lie
I’m just dreaming of
Old bones taking me back
Old worlds taking me back
Resting on the souls of long ago
New roads leading me home
New hearts leading me home
Setting sail for ancient lands unknown

These ghosts say:
I can’t save you now
But I can tell you how
How to live a life
That’s brave and free
I can tell you what I cared about
I can tell you what I regret
I can tell you to remember me
Forget me not in the fog of war
Lost in memory
I’m all that’s left
That’s left of time
My thoughts are the bones
I leave behind
I feel it burning right through me
The past is lighting my way
Though all is dark around me
This lantern guides my way
The ghosts are talking right through me
Their light shines across my mind
Troubles and doubts pursue me
But their wisdom fills my mind
These walls can talk
These walls are alive
These wall tell stories in their very bones
There’s things worth fighting for
Things worth dying for
All our loyal hearts are true
I hear their words ripping through me
Their thoughts are tumbling down
Ancient stories surround me
What’s lost can now be found
It’s the heart of things that matter
What’s buried deep and gone
The weight of time pulls on me
But dreams live on and on
These walls can talk
These walls are alive
These walls can tell us who and what survived
These walls can cast a brighter light
Burn bright all through the night
Burn until the day is new
Spinning straw into golden light
Burning bright all through the night
Burning bright till all our days are new

Alone, alone in the brand new universe
A minute ago I was nothing
Now here I am
It’s supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life
But it’s the first day of the universe
And nobody gives a damn about me
It’s me
it’s all about me
This is my story
This is my life
Though it sounds like I’m complaining
Everything I say is true
It’s you
What’s duh matta witch you?
Why don’t you get what I’m telling you?
For God’s sake I’m dying here
I’m the star
I’m the galaxy
I’m the whole universe
I’m the reason why you all are here
Alone in the primordial swamp
It’s me
It’s all about me
I refuse to divide
they say it’s my destiny
But I will remain
One cell
Or die

Neander Valley’s fragrance
Lingers in the air
Glaciers glide by
Hearths on fire
Roasting cave bears late at night
Rolling naked in the grass
Counting stars
On our backs
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Songs on our lips
Dreams in our hearts
Leaving our bones behind
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Longing for a place to call our own
Neander Valley’s fragrance
Hovers in the air
Clouds roll by
Smoke rings fly
Fishing trout by rolling streams
Wooly mammoths all night long
Counting stars
On our backs
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Songs on our lips
Dreams in our hearts
Leaving our bones behind
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Longing for a place to call our own
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Songs on our lips
Dreams in our hearts
Leaving our bones behind
We’re all Neanderthals
Under the skin
Longing for a place to call our own

Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
All the earth in front of me
All roads stars that lead me home
A map, a plan, a distant land
With stardust at my back
I see the new world
Feel the new world
New dreams take me home
Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
All the earth in front of me
All roads stars that lead me home
A map, a plan, a distant land
With stardust at my back
I see the new world
Feel the new world
New dreams take me home

See the far off hills
The amber leaves
Against the sky
see the dreamy woods
Of days gone by
Hear the oceans roar
The storm tossed skies
You wonder why
You ask me why
See the silver birds
The blue dark clouds
Across the sky
See the stars that shoot right through the sky
Singing spirits fly across the sky
The earth will dance
Beneath the sky
I love to feel your breath upon my face
And in my dreams
I keep you safe
I love to feel your breath upon my face
Your tiny hands
Your grace
I feel your pounding heart against my chest
I love you so
Through every breath
I feel your pounding heart against my chest
I love you so
My every breath
You’re the dream, the wish, the hope
I build my life upon
You’re my very own
My dearest one
I feel your pounding heart against my own
We climb the cold
The cold, cold stones
Feel the spirits of the earth
The wind, the sea, the sky
Feel their tender kisses on your eyes
Sleeping shadows fly
Across the sky
They hide the stars
You ask me why
I dreamed that we were far away and gone
On wings of birds
We flew at dawn
I dreamed I kept you safe and sound from harm
We left this earth
And we were gone
I want to hide you in these woods with me
To keep you safe
To set us free
I long to keep you sleeping here with me
Forever more
Forever free
Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
Leaving all that’s dear to me
No more to sleep in my old home
A map, a plan, a distant land
Tears me from my home
I miss my old world
Need my old world
Long for my old home
Across the sky, across the sea
Every step in front of me
Leads me into the unknown
Across the sky, across the sea
Leaving all that’s dear to me
No more to sleep in my old home
A map, a plan, a distant land
Tears me from my home
I miss my old world
Need my old world
Long for my old home

Red glass globes on fire
Salvador Dali in the corner
Crushed ice and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came tumbling,
Laughing
Golden balls and tinsel
Stiller and Meara in the corner
Blini and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came dancing,
Loving
It all happened on 57th Street
They’re eating:
Cherry blintzes, Chicken Kiev,
Kasha and piroshki
Steaming bowls of pelmeni
Pumpernickel, sour cream,
with lots of boiled potatoes
And White Russians
steeping tea bags
In free boiling water
Pink table cloths are glowing
Sidney Poitier sits in the corner
Vodka and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came winning,
Losing
Pool green walls surround us
Sylvia Miles in the corner
The brass and samovars
Through the revolving door
The world came schmoozing,
Boozing
It all happened down the block from Horn & Hardart’s Automat
They’re eating:
Vareniki and sirniki
Blinchiki and rosolnik
Butter pouring over blini
Mushroom barley, sour pickles
And lots of cold zubrovka
And White Russians
Steeping tea bags
In free boiling water
Sidney Pollack’s Tootsie
Madonna hatchecking in the corner
Zakuski and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came thinking,
Dreaming
Red banquettes on fire
Harry Belafonte in the corner – Day-O!
Smoked tongue and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came moving,
Shaking
Just across from that ol’ Chock Full o’Nuts The Heavenly Coffee
They’re eating:
Kulebiaka, Luli kebab
Bitochki and pojarski
Forshmak dragimiroff
Tomato herring, Russian dressing
Lots of chicken liver
And White Russians
Steeping tea bags
In free boiling water
People lined up to the sidewalk
Zero Mostel sings in the corner “Tradition”!
Murals and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came hondling,
Schnorring
Blacklisted artists on fire
Lee Grant loves to linger in the corner
Shashlik and caviar
Through the revolving door
The world came swirling,
Twhirling
We were all slightly to the left of Carnegie Hall
And White Russians
Steeping tea bags
In free, free boiling water

Riding on the back of the northwind
Pine needles ‘cross a forest floor
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
Don’t look back
Burn every bridge
Tell everyone to go to hell
Don’t give up
Never say I die
Leave all the past behind
A blowing blue sky
Crashes over highways
Truckers, drifting through the night
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
Don’t look back
Burn every bridge
Tell everyone to go to hell
Don’t give up
Never say die
Leave all the past behind
Strange motel rooms
Darkened bars
A boom town late at night
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
White caps bursting on a river
Shadows ripping through the night
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway
Don’t look back
Burn every bridge
Tell everyone to go to hell
Don’t give up
Never say die
Leave all the past behind
Washing off the stain
A renegade
A rogue and a runaway

On an island in the bay
Hidden far away from sight
Windswept buried out at sea
Fog horns blow past city lights
On an island in the bay
Dreams are lost along the way
What a dark and lonely place
It’s the heart of Pelham Bay
No moon, no stars
Lost world, no looking back
Lost, longing for home
Longing for what we had
On an island in the bay
We can see the far off lights
We’ll all escape one day
Some in spirit, some in flight
No moon, no stars
Lost world, no looking back
Lost, longing for home
Longing for what we had
On an island in the bay
We can see the far off lights
We’ll all escape one day
Some in spirit, some in flight

Steam from my coffee floats and swirls
In the air
Blowing off the little deck
The boat that carries me straight back to you
That far off dock
The ropes that tie us to the shore
The safe harbor of your arms
Stillness in a storm
The map around my heart
Follows an ancient mariners guide
That warns me of forgetting
All you’ve lost
Love lost in the mist
Buried deep in my heart
Haunting all my thoughts and dreams
The ghost that spirits me
Straight back to you
The map around my heart
Follows an ancient mariners guide
That warns me of forgetting
All you’ve lost
Love lost in the mist
Buried deep in my heart
Haunting all my thoughts and dreams
The ghost that spirits me
Straight back to you
My heart carved and buried deep
Shut off from the light
Lost in the ashes
Some phoenixs don’t rise
Some phoenixs don’t rise
Some phoenixs don’t rise

View of a pearl strung bridge
Our life floated in the air
You in my arms
Wrapped so close
You and your dad and me
Just for a moment
Hovering high above the world
So sweet
The moon
Was our shield
The stars
Kept us safe
Since the day that you were born
You’ve been my outside heart
Roaming free
Our circus in the sky
Moon drenched river guarding us
From all the bullets
Flying by
The moon
Was our shield
The stars
Kept us safe
Since the day that you were born
You’ve been my outside heart
Roaming free
Roaming free
Roaming free

Lost in the stars in the big dark sky
All alone – you and I
All the odds against us
They turned out to be so right
On that first night when I caught your eye
Stretching time – you and I
All the world around us
Telling us to say goodbye
Two creatures with no luck at all
Till that night – you and I
All the ghosts surround us
Daring us to tell them why
You left this earth it was do or die
No more us – no you and I
Never was a chance
Just no way we could survive
Lost in the stars in the big dark sky
All alone – you and I
All the odds against us
They turned out to be so right
All alone – you and I

Clouds are so impossibly pink
Gloom is a vanishing thing
Ships on the edge of the world
Beckoning us to the brink
Road to the cliff
Secret path to the sea
Love floats – heavenly
The world stretches out – vista’s opening
The day is incredibly free
Lingering
Languidly
Out of time, out of space, out of joy
Into dawn, into day, into song
Night time descends
Shadows linger and sway
We’re wrapped in a gossamer web
This is where happiness lives
So voluptuously astray
Lingering
Languidly
Out of time, out of space, out of joy
Into dawn, into day, into song
Night time descends
Shadows linger and sway
We’re wrapped in a gossamer web
This is where happiness lives
So voluptuously astray

Moon tossed waves
Slipping out to sea
Horses of foam prancing back to land
And to the sky
So much time
So much love
So much longing
In the iridescence
Water spilling over glasses in the sink
Shutters blowing back against the crisping air
All our lives tangled into fiery sparks
All our dreams
Woven into summers endless threads
Moon tossed waves
Slipping out to sea
Moon tossed waves
Slipping out to sea…
Moon tossed waves
Slipping out to sea
Horses of foam prancing back to land and to the sky
So much time
So much love
So much longing
In the iridescence
Water spilling over glasses in the sink
Shutters blowing back against the crisping air
All our lives tangled into fiery sparks
All our dreams woven into summers endless threads
Moon tossed waves
Slipping out to sea
Moon tossed waves
Slipping out to sea…

I woke up this morning
Here’s what the world said to me
I woke up this morning
It was in my NY Times and on the TV
Against all odds
No woman died today
So how can it be?
When I read every obituary
I’m asking “how can it be?”
When I read every single obituary
Seems mighty strange to me (that)
No woman died today
Tell me who decides this?
Who tells us who is dead?
Tell me who decides this
And what the paper says
It’s happening all around us
But they say it isn’t so
I guess it’s some kinda way to tell us
No woman died today
A senator died this morning
A farmer died last night
A poet died in China
But that just don’t make it right
Tell me how can it be?
You go ahead and count those obituaries
Ohh, it just can’t be
Why don’t you go ahead and count all those obituaries?
If women are half the people of the earth
Tell me why, oh why
Did no woman die today?
I guess we should all be happy
‘Cause the good news is
No woman died today
