See the Wood can it be moving
Rattling in my Fantasy
Playing games just like a Trickster
Are you coming to get me
Shedding skin your fangs are bared
Protecting what I think is real
Seeing you I run away
Avoiding things I cannot feel
Wood and Snake
Won’t harm us skin can break
One’s the fire that keeps us warm
The other a venom make
Wood and Snake
Stand still or run away
Confuse the two they both will bite you
Sworn to feet of clay
In our minds we make up stories
Scaring us along the way
See the snake our mind so focused
Only on our Yesterday
Save the wood and build a fire
And dream the morrow what you’ll do
Fire and ash like scattered dreams
The Phoenix rise and carry you

On this track I sing Ya Layli throughout, an Arabic phrase often song improvisationally. It translates as “oh my night,” and is common in love poetry song.

While some of these vocalizations are general, in the improvisational section I sing Sidi Amān. Sidi is a sign of respect, and Amān is sung to express longing.

Slip So Far Away
05:53

You know that I know
You know that I can see you
There is no place to go
You know that I will find you
Why do you run away
Can’t you see that you will have to face it anyway
I know you think its better for me that you leave
But really you are just afraid of what I might see
Why do you Slip So Far Away
There’s so much more to see
If we can’t have today
We’ll never be free
And it can all come crumbling down
Not a reason to go
Look me in the eye don’t run away
Or your heart will never know

Sí la mar era de leche If the sea were of milk
Los barquitos de canela The boats made of cinammon
Yo me mancharía entera I would quite dip in
Por salvar la mi bandiera To save my banner
Sí la mar era de leche If the sea were of milk
Yo me haría un pexcador I would be a fisherman
Pexcaría las tus dolores I would fish for your sorrows
Con palavricas d’amor With words of love
Dame la mano tu Palomba Give me your hand my dove
Para suvir a tu nido To come up to your nest
Maldicha que durmes sola Unlucky are you that sleep alone
Vengo a durmir contigo I am coming to sleep with you

When I saw the truth of All my heart exploded
Moments like this I wish I were a million people
Please don’t leave me stay a while
I need to feel you here
A fleeting glimpse is not enough
Come be with me once more
I’ll take your hand and you’ll take mine
We’ll walk along the shore
We’ll dance and play and cast our shadows
This love forever…and ever…and ever…
Indama ra'ayto lhak'eek'ata bi'akmaliha insharaha k’albee
(Fa)tamanayto fee lahathaatin kahad’ihi law anee milyoona insanin
Arjooka la tatrokni
Ibk'a li borha
Ahtajo an ohissa bika bijiwaaree
Fala yakfeeni an armok'aka fak'at
Ta’ala, kon ma’ee marratan okhraa
