Lyrics

Ayre

Verse 1

Voice of thunder
The cedar breaks
Hills rebound as
The desert quakes..
Red pillars climb
And spiral high……
Against the blue and
Eternal sky………

Verse 2

Arrow of time
Splits the land
A million years
Across the span….
In the silence
Your mind can fly…….
Into the broad
Eternal sky………
heyeee high yie
heyee high
Eternal sky………

{{Chorus}}

You can see it
As you stand
Here…..
At a place
Where……
The Cedar Breaks

Verse 3

Like a whisper
In the night
Soft reflection
Under starlight…..
The fire glows
And amplifies…….
Beneath the deep
Eternal sky………
heyeee high yie
heyee high
Nocturnal sky………

{{chorus}}

You can touch it
For yourself
Here…..
At a place
Where……
The Cedar Breaks

{{2nd chorus}}

Breath in the cool air
Let the quiet sink in
Bask in the solace
Song…………
Breath in the cool air
Let the quiet sink in
Bask in the solace
Of an uncluttered mind
A more reflective
Uncluttered mind

Verse 4

You can reach out
For the answer
In the rythum
In the moonlight…..
In the spirit
In the fabric
Of your Soul…..
heyeee high yie
heyee high
Eternal sky………

{{chorus}}

You will hear it
Like we did
Here…….
At a place
Where…..
The Cedar Breaks

Anchor

Everyone I thought was mine
Is slipping through the sands of time
Oh these lines….. Oh these lines
Everything that I hold dear
Is altogether what I fear
All these ties….. All these ties
Please be my anchor on the line {{repeat}}
When I’m washed out to sea
Will you hold on to me?
Just a picture in a frame
We both know it’s not the same
Time moves on…..Time moves on
And if I wrote my every word
Many still would go unheard
Oh, this light Oh my mind
Please be my anchor on the line {{repeat}}
When I’m washed out to sea
Will you hold on to me
Dreams will bring me my first hope
Like an old familiar poem
It wounds and heals…. It wounds and heals
Now it seems the legacy
Is greater than the whole of me
Oh, these lines……..Oh these lines
Please be my anchor on the line {{repeat 2}}
When I’m washed out to sea
Will you hold on to me

Light (Light Up The Land)

You offer your light whenever you can
To your brothers and sisters thru out the land
When life was the darkest for me my friend
You stood by me and offered your hand
And when I was able to stand by myself
We offered our light to someone else
Just like the river that starts from a spring
United we’re strong, together we’ll sing
Light up the land. Light up the land
Just takes one to make a stand
Light up the land…………………

To those who are weary I’ll be your best friend
To those who are hungry I’ll bring you bread
When you are tempted and being pulled down
I’ll reach out to you pull you up from the ground
And when my voice is someday still
There will be others to climb the hill
As their voices start to swell
Together they’ll stand and sing you this tale
Light up the land.
Just takes one to think he can
Light up the land…………………

Now we’ll offer our love, wherever we can
To our brothers and sisters throughout the land
When life’s the darkest for you my friends
We’ll stand by you and offer our hands
When you are able to stand by yourself
You’ll offer your love, to someone else
Just like the river, that flows to the sea
Together we’re strong we will light up a dream
Light up a dream,

Don’t Go

Don’t go…… don’t go. Stay forever dear
Don’t shed another tear tonight
Don’t go…… don’t go. All you ever need
Is all I’ll every try to be
I’ll give you love. I’ll give you happiness
In the hardest times. Through your darkest night
I’ll give you life. Hope and tenderness
And I won’t let go
Don’t go don’t go. Life is better spent
With someone to share each moment with
I’ll give you love. I’ll give you happiness
In the hardest times. Through your darkest night
I’ll give you life. Hope and tenderness
And I won’t let go
A lifetime went to fast
Not ready to live with just a past
You taught me all I need to know
Don’t teach me now how to go
You give me love. You give me happiness
In the hardest times. Through my darkest night
You give me life hope and tenderness
And I can’t let go
Don’t go…… don’t go
All I ever need is all you ever are to me

Dream

I dreamed a dream
And was carried away
Along a path……..
The lightning flashed
Exploded high
Into a dark and
Peppered sky……
Oh I saw a man
He was all dressed in white
He bade me on
with a simple song
As I walked into the night

Around me rose
A fable myst
To draw me to
The wilderness
If I chose to let go
Of the rod…….
For it is straight and it is true
There for us to hold on to
Toward.. the tree… of life

And as I dreamed
I was not alone
Along the path….
The dust swirled
And drifted high
Into a red and
Swirling sky……
I saw them all
Rich, poor, bond and free
We heard the song
As we moved along
Toward a distant lightWhen you see
The fable myst
The more you look
The more you’ll miss
Please don’t waste
your time………
What you need to do your part
Sits right there within your heart
At….the tree……. of life

And in my dream
I ate the fruit
of the tree….
It was as white
As driven snow
Tasted sweet and
Filled my soul…..
I heard some laugh at me
As time went on by
But I was strong
I joined the song
And stepped into the lightI looked to see
If you were there
I voiced inside
A silent prayer
Hoping the morning sun
would shine…….
Upon a smile I’d come to know
To hold inside as I go
Toward…. the tree……… of life

Willow

The quiet only stillness knows
As mountains whisper their secrets show
A feather sweeps away all wrong
As meadows of gold their treasures hold
In a moment of tenderness
The proof of true love can exist
Wildflower trails and copper skies
Sing the perfect lullaby
Oh Sweet Lullaby
May the warm winds
Stir and the willows bend
Carry you into sleep
Stir you as the willows bend
Guide your dreams
Bringing you to me

Eyes so pure and words so kind
Only happiness you will find
Seeds will grow and rivers flow
Into a harvest the future holds
Oh Sweet Lullaby
May the warm winds
Stir and the willows bend
Carry you into sleep
Stir you as the willows bend
Guide your dreams
Bringing you to me
Always to me
In my dreams
Always in my dreams

Walk On (When You Walk On)

Verse 1

There’s a long and winding river
From the darkness to the dawn
It will carry and deliver you
When you walk on

Verse 2

No one here can say for certain
What lies in the great beyond
You’ll pass through that parted curtain
When you walk on

{{chorus}}

You may grasp at the illusion
The confusion of your mind
Ah but soon you will remember
To surrender one more time

{{chorus}}

You may fade out the doorway
Fly away above the throng
Those who stay carry your story
A little glory lingers on

Verse 3

Though the world you leave behind you
Will become a distant song
Every soul you loved will find you
When you walk on
When you walk on
Walk……on

My Dog

verse 1

Just a half grown dog, medium small size
Mesmerizing puppy eyes
And a licker, that wouldn’t quit
We met up at this, used dog garage sale
So for 50 bucks, the kids would prevail
And our family, just grew by one

So we taught him all the cool dog tricks
Speak, rollover, shake, and how to sit
But suffered from fetch attention deficit
In a backyard, with a fence and a gate
Was always looking for a way to escape
And explore the surrounding neighborhood

{{chorus}}

No gate could hold him back
No fence, he couldn’t find a crack
But no love was greater than that
of my dog
He could run at mach dog speed
Only bark if there was a need
But no love was greater than that
Of my dog

verse 2

He found an escape, squeezing under the gate
And staying out way to late
Not knowing where the little dog’s gone
I do not know who called the pound
Or why they ratted out my hound
But he spent a night in the county dog slammer

Could it be this dog was sent from above
To give our family so much love
And I wondered over the years
Now my kids are all grown, and I’m alone
Except this old dog and a half chewed bone
Then one day, he went to dog heaven

{{chorus}}

No gate could hold him back
No fence, he couldn’t find a crack
But no love was greater than that
of my dog
He could run at mach dog speed
Only bark if there was a need
But no love was greater than that
Of my dog

verse 3

And when I died came my judgement day
For my sins I feared I’d pay
I walked that misty path to heavens gate
I was ready to plead my innocence
Standing outside that heavenly fence
Alone, because there is no lawyers in heavan
Squeezing under that pearly gate
His K9 halo all in illuminate
Then running straight for me at mach dog speed
Was a half grown dog of medium small size
Mesmerizing puppy eyes
And a licker that wouldn’t quit
And I heard the angels sing

{{chorus}}

No gate could hold him back
No fence, he couldn’t find a crack
But no love was greater than that
of my dog
He could run at mach dog speed
Only bark if there was a need
But no love was greater than that
Of my dog

Myst

verse 1

The Myst is rising……
See the shining of the sun
In the cool of morning
Light has begun
So comes your smile
This is where it starts
A look from your eyes
Straight to………. the heart

verse 2

The Myst is rising……
To see those in need
Without judgment
You plant another seed
So comes the truth
Let your spirit soar
Feels like a true friend
Knocking at………. your door

Verse 4

The Myst is rising…..
From choices that we make
Starts with a sacrifice
For another’s sake
So comes the morning
Of a brand new day
You can make a difference.
Hey…What do…. you say?

{{ending chorus}}

It’s the voice of freedom
From those who are strong
A united motion
Come and sing………. along

The Legend of Re-Run

verse 1a

No one knew where he came from
Just wandered into town
No collar……no dog tag
But good to have around
Quiet dog, didn’t say much
When he spoke it was only…..woof
Named him Re-run, took him in
To keep us varmint proof

verse 1b

Re-run was there to guard our farm
Guard the neighbors farm too
Chased foxes and weasels away
Dog chores he would do
One night at Mcdonalds farm,
Angry rosters and hens
Broken eggs and feathers flew
Trouble in the chickens pens

{{chorus a}}

Run run Re-run, run they all depend on you
Varmits are coming, so what are we to do?
Dependable ….He’s’ always alert
He doesn’t hesitate
Run, run Re-run, run…. running to save the day

verse 2a

I still remember that misty night
Who could ever forget
Sleepy farmer slipped and fell
And his wife threw a fit
Dark night at Mcdonalds farm
For as he wiped his eyes
All he saw was Re-Run
And he let his anger fly

verse 2b

Re-Run just bobbed and weaved
Flew faster than a Lark
Objects flew and creased his fur
As he fled into the dark
Such a night at Mcdonalds farm
It’ll never be the same
It even woke the pigs up
And Re-Run got the blame

{{chorus b}}

Run, run Re-run, run…They’re all after you
Dog catcher’s coming, deputized to pursue
The innocent dog….got the blame
Dogs don’t have alibis
Run, run Re-run, run….running to stay alive

verse 3a

The dawn old a different tale
Raccoon tracks everywhere
Re-run was chasing those raccoons
Back to their rocky lair
Farmer blamed an innocent dog
Me oh my. ….oh no
Riddled with guilt
He mumbled E I E I O

verse 3b

Re-run left old Idaho
Won’t be back to soon
Some say he’s with coyotes
Howling at the moon
Heard he ran to Wyoming
But who could ever say
I think he ran to Utah
Looking for a better way

{{chorus b}}

Run, run Re-run, run ..They’re all after you
Dog catcher’s coming, deputized to pursue
The innocent dog….got the blame
Dogs don’t have alibis
Run, run Re-run, run…. running to stay alive

Rock Creek Hollow

Fierce cold wrapped around her
As she stared blankly on
Only numbing pain awaited
As they somehow moved along
A path above the Sweetwater
On a trail of frozen rock
And in despair……
Hell’s fury fell
As they held onto the Rod
And she can’t stop
To look or turn around
Where she steps
Is hallowed ground
Along the trail they had to follow
Across the ridge to Rock Creak Hollow
Where a crop of willows lie
Against a stream ……
That gently flows ……

I wonder if I asked them
To know who was to blame
And if I find the answer
Would I somehow feel the same
I stand above the Sweetwater
On a trail I’ve come to know
And time was left ……
Where dreams should flow
A long time ago
Now I just stop
To look and turn around
As I step
On hallowed ground
Along a trail I had to follow
Across the ridge to Rock Creek Hollow
Wherein Still some faithful lie
Against a stream ……
That gently flows ……

So listen to the spirit
Like you never have before
As you make your connection
Only now in metaphor
You’ll walk above the Sweetwater
In the warmth of the sun
And there you’ll find ……
That your journey
Is never really done
As you walk
Just stop and turn around
When you step
On hallowed ground
Along a trail you’ll surely follow
Across the ridge to rock creek hollow
Where in still some secrets lie
Against a stream ……
That so gently flows ……
