lyrics

The sun is up and the girl is waking
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
It’s a beautiful day
“Is it me in the dream that I remember?”
Wonders little girl,
“Who am I today?”

She talks to the moon at night
And in the morning, radios Mars
so many of her, she’s everywhere now
She’s looking down
She’s a morning star

From the east the winds, they blow
They blow with dreams that rise
From east of Egypt
As the lion dreams, winds blow
And the dreams they sail across
Sail across to me
Sailing on the sea
Rising from the lion’s heart
Rising up through me

We make up songs about Tesla’s ray gun
Building rocket ships for frogs in astronaut suits
She makes a face then falls down laughing
Can’t believe the funny way the animals play
They jump to the rhythm of her song and dance
As we telephone stars
is somebody out there, is someone listening
Forever friends, promise
Cross your heart

From the east the winds, they blow…

Though winds may blow
And sands of time may beat
against me now
this is what I hear her saying
They never will erase my heart

where the music is
And the music and number of
soul align
where the music is
Where the music is, so the
numbers of soul align

There’s a light that burns the fading night to brilliant sunrise
There is a shroud of night that births from her depths, desire
If the weight of a fearful choice,
or deft disguise leaves me heavy
Light like a diamond shines and weightless with the sea I float
So many ways to hear the wind
And to sail this dream
But the heart like a diamond
shines through the end.
and the music and number of
soul align
