Come Into My Heart

There is the life that you make
And the life that you are
On the shore of my inner lake
I drink wisdom from the mouth
Of a divine swan
How did these words
Come so close to the truth
If I could only rediscover
What I once knew
And it's an boundless sea of life
Where I find all that I need
It's a boundless sea of death on which I stand
Just be quiet for a moment
Let the trees have their say
You will get lost in their chants
May every stone branch and flower
Know thy name
You will never find
You will never conquer the truth
But you may rediscover
What you once knew
And it's a void filled with blessings
Where I will return to rest
It's a string that makes the music
Of the universe
Come into my heart
Come into my heart
Come into my heart
Oh boundless spring of joy
Oh infinite gaze of wisdom
Oh oceanic sounds of spirit

Must It Be

When I look back
I can see my mistake
I'll put it all away
These unwanted thoughts
I hope I forget
All of this just the same
They saw me hovering
At the top of a parking lot
Ah ah
When I look back
I hear the soundtrack
In our movie
They played songs about love
I got too involved
I made too many plans
Wanted to save you when
Your parents locked you up
They locked you up
And I saw you in the window
Your voice on the phone
I'm in this with you
I'm not going home
And I tried my best
Being there to catch you
Is the happiest
I've ever been
But in the end
Who's going to catch me
Catch me
I can't recall
The images of today
The colors all fade to gray
There's nothing left
But the memories
Where I touch you so carefully
Like a sculpture of glass
You slipped through my hands
Ah ah
So when you turn the lights out
Dream of what you love
And wrapped in those uncomplicated shadows
You will never find yourself alone
You won't
Must it be
Oh, must it be
Answer me
Must it be
It must be
It must be

The Open Door
02:59
|

The north wind blows the witch's hair on a desert plateau
Rain pours from rooftops into crevices unknown
And the ocean rocks the island
Where the disciple reads his notes
In a castle on the Irish coast a nun prays until she floats
And charcoal clouds are gathering devouring the stars
The winds dance and crash into the trees
The end of time is nigh
The end of light and dark
The twilight of the gods called you and me
We call you and me
In a mountain monastery, trapped beneath the snow
Like a solitary satellite lost in the unknown
A saint lies dying, surrounded by his monks
He says I spent many lifetimes
Thinking it never was enough
Well now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Now it is
Does everything you love get swept away
Is there nothing you can do to make them stay
It's an insubstantial universe
Your grasping in the dark
And then you die
And go back to the start
But there is hope in surrender
To the mystery
You embrace what you really are
And expand infinitely
And go through the open door
You'll go through the open door
Yeah, go through the open door

True Love
05:33
|
|||
|
A rainbow reaches for heaven
In the valley where my tombstone lies
Another promising vision
Another dream I will leave behind
And I don't need to find you now
You're already here inside me
But just know that I am yours
And I will be
That's love
That's love
That's love
True love
There's no more space left in your world
And you're running out of breath
Look for the priceless pearl
It's already in your pocket
And in the haven of my solitude
I keep a vigilant watch
But I'll leave one door open
Lest you should ever feel lost
That's love
That's love
That's love
True love
And I don't need to find you now
You're already here inside me
But just know that I am yours
And I will be
I will be
