Anyone Can Whistle
02:54

Anyone can whistle, that's what they say, easy.
Anyone can whistle, any old day, easy.
It's all so simple: relax, let go, let fly!
So someone tell me why can't I?
I can dance the tango, I can read Greek, easy.
I can slay a dragon, any week, easy!
What's hard is simple, what's natural comes hard.
Maybe you can show me how to let go,
Lower my guard, learn to be free.
Maybe if you whistle, whistle for me.
It's all so simple: relax, let go, let fly!
So someone tell me why can't I?
I can dance the tango, I can read Greek, easy.

Maybe you can show me how to let go,
Lower my guard, learn to be free.
Maybe if you whistle, whistle for me.

The trees on the mountains are cold and bare
The summer just vanished and left them there
Like a false hearted lover, just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone
The coals on the hearth have turned grey and sere
The blue flame just vanished and left them there
Like a false hearted lover, just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone
Come back oh summer, come back blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back oh lover if just for a day
Turn bleak December once more into May
The road up ahead lies lonely and far
There's darkness around me and not even a star
To show me the way or lighten my heart
Come back my lover I fain would start
The poor baby fox lies all cold in his lair
His mama just vanished and left them there
Like a false hearted lover just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone
Come back oh summer, come back blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back oh lover if just for a day
Turn bleak December once more into May
Come back oh summer, come back blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back oh lover if just for a day
Turn bleak December once more into May
Come back! Come back! Come back!

No One Is Alone
03:21
|
|||
|
No one here to guide you.
Now you're on you're own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone, truly.
No one is alone.
Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide what's good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone.
People make mistakes:
Fathers,
Mothers.
People make mistakes.
Holding to their own,
Thinking they're alone.
Honor their mistakes,
Everybody makes,
One another's
Terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right.
Giants can be good.
You decide what's right.
You dedide what's good.
Just remember:
Someone is on your side,
Someone else is not.
While you're seeing your side,
Maybe you forgot.
They are not alone.
No one is alone.
Hard to see the light now.
Just don't let it go.
Things will come out right now.
We can make it so.
Someone is on your side.
No one is alone.

Secret Gardens
04:53
|
|||
|
My grandmother's house is still there
But it isn't the same
A plain wooden cottage
A patch of brown lawn
And a fence that hangs bending
And sighing in the Seattle rain
I drive by with strangers
And wish they could see what I see
A tangle of summer birds
Flying in sunlight
A forest of lillies
An orchard of apricot trees
Secret Gardens of the heart
Where the flowers bloom forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
Great grandfather's farm is still there
But it isn't the same
The barn is torn down
And the fences are gone
And the Idaho wind blows
The topsoil away every Spring
I still see the ghosts
Of the people I knew long ago
Inside the old kitchen
They bend and they sigh
My life passed them up
And the world in its way passed them by
Secret Gardens of the heart
Where the old stay young forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
But most of all
It's me that has changed
And yet I'm still the same
That's me at the weddings
That's me at the graves
Dressed like the people
Who once looked so grown-up and brave
I look in the mirror
Throught the eyes of the child that was me
I see willows bending
The season is Spring
And the silver blue sailing birds
Fly with the sun on their wings
Secret Gardens of the heart
Where the seasons change forever
I see you shining through the night
In the ice and snow of winter
