Sunset on the canyon
Mauve and blue and gold
Venus and Mars start to shine
The light fades and the night sky unfolds

Pleiades and Orion
Distant falling star
No need for the spirit to wander
It's peaceful right here where we are

And the mountain plays an old Spanish melody
And the moonlight puts on a sweet, lonesome harmony

Wind roll down from the ridge above
Playing the trees and caressing the rocks
And the birds and the sky with your love
All the other sounds are derived from your song
Sweet Mother of Music, can I please come along

(Canyon Wind Voice)
(bridge)

All things here, even the sky has a Voice
La Ventana whispers
And the rocks and the cliffs rejoice
Old Lady of the Plains
With her secrets untold
Subtle Music out in New Mexico
(Canyon Wind Voice)

I grew up a northwest Texas girl
And there's something about the open sky
Still sets my heart a whirl
Cause there's nothing like a Texas night
Or a sky full of colorful clouds
You grow up strong and proud
Deep in the heart of Texas

My grandfather was a cook on the Santa Fe Trail
He had a horse named Fred,
An old wide-brimmed cowboy hat
And a black cast iron cooking pale
He would ride the open range
With a fiddle in his hand
Had a country band
Deep in the heart of Texas

Give me the wind in my hair
A clear bright star to guide me there
And a canyon full of sage and mesquite trees
A world full of sky
Oh me, oh my

Yodel-le-de-ooh
The Land of the Endless Blue
Aei-Yie-Yie-Yie-Yie
Yodel-le-de-te-ah
How my heart yearns for you

And there's a big show at sunset and at dawn
And the Spirit of the Old West
She just lives on and on and on and on
I sit here with my guitar
Just the Wind and the Moon and me
And I am free deep in the heart of Texas

Gotta slow way down
Seems like the hands of that old clock
Been turning too fast around
One thing I know
I gotta slow way down

Gotta take some time
To do the things that I want to do
Maybe some time before I'm through
I might start to feel
Like it can heal this aching heart

I get up Monday morning
Got the whole week in sight
But by the time I go to bed
It's Friday night
Never seem to find the time
To pause and reflect
All the while my mind keeps saying
Overload! Reject! Reject!

All my friends, they feel it too
It's such a crazy fast lane world
What are you gonna do
One thing I know
I gotta slow way down

The things I would do
Are the things I do not
The things I need the most
Are the things I forgot
Still it seems the things I do
I do and do and do a lot
Always something more on the list
And I never know what it is

It's true, it's true, it's true
There's always more on the list
Than I can realistically do
I know, I know, I know
I gotta slow way down

Full Moon coming around again
Clear night, soft, cool wind
Radiant beams of rainbow light
The edge between the vague and clear
Shines through the dancing of the shadows and the light

Old Man tell me some secrets tonight
Black Horse, I want to watch you shine
And sparkle in the moonlight
And I want to ride in that canyon sky
The beat of the drum, motion's rhythm
Merge with the music of the mountain as we fly

And She calls me here
And the truth is so clear in Her eyes
So I sing Her my songs and I say
Sweet Moon, Golden Dancing Moon
Send me your reply, send me your reply

And She says
The craziness comes, and the craziness goes
And the cycle comes around again
Like the phases of the moon, the ocean's rhythm
The Sound of the Voices on the Wind

(Wind Spirit Voice)

Rugged, lichened rock
Knurled and twisted tree
Silver, blue, green and gold lizard
Shifts his eyes to look at me
Stand on the edge looking out with wind in your hair
The Spirit moves, vibrations merge
The Truth is there

And She calls me here
And I see it so clear in Her eyes
So I sing Her my songs and I say
Sweet Moon, Golden Dancing Moon
Send me your reply, send me your reply

And She says
The Current moves forward
We're swept into the blending of the Multi-Varied Rays
The Brothers of the Light, the Ancient Ones,
The Old Ways

Cleanse my Heart and heal my Sight
Make me strong and full of Light
The Warrior stands, the Black Horse gleams
The Angel sends Her golden dreams
Golden White Light Beams

Soaring through the clouds we fly
Breathing in, purify
Quiet rest and gentle sound
Your smile around my Heart

Sacred Mountain gleaming white
A distant mesa's violet light
Cathedral forest, turquoise sky
The Undercurrent's soft reply
Voices low and high

Council on the ridge beyond
Magic Moonwind sing your song
Flash of light and clouds roll by
A Canyon Lullaby

(Sacred Mountain Chant)

And I see that Black Horse on every rock and tower
On every ridge and every trail
The Old Man whispers of Quiet Power
The Dual Reality
The Silent Strength prevails
The Dual Reality
The Moonwind wails

And I feel those changes coming on
And I feel those changes coming on
I feel a storm coming
Come on, come on

(1st Verse)

Swirling Light, Infinity

Gonna take my baby on a morning stroll
Down by the water where the breezes blow
It's so peaceful there and he wants to go
Down by the pond

And the air's so full that the honeysuckle smell
Take a deep deep breath and your heart just swells
And the wind in the trees sounds like tinkling bells
Down by the pond

Gonna get my boys and get a boat
A picnic and a paddle and we'll just float
Between the lilies, listening
To nature's morning symphony

Put a worm on a hook takes a special knack
The fish jump up and the boys jump back
Kingfisher dives for his morning snack
Down by the pond

Great White Egret or Blue Heron flies
Sun on the surface puts a sparkle in your eyes
Cool blue color, towering pines
Symmetric reflection on the water line

Gonna take a walk with that man of mine
Smell the kataba and the honeysuckle vine
We'll cruise and dream, it will be just fine
Down by the pond

What happened to my life she screamed
I feel such waves of insensitivity
Somewhere down the road the strife it seems
Cast me in this maze of futility
I used to see visions of light
Now there is so much confusion and pain
I used to be a poet
Now I just want to hear the voices again

Somewhere some timeless, spaceless place
I seem to remember being there
And those towers of white
And those golden streets of light
I've seen it somewhere
And it causes me to roam
And to feel so all alone
Like a Voice calling me home
I heard it somewhere

Turn back toward the dream
Turn back toward the meaning
Turn back toward those feelings that I used to know
Turn away from this confusion
Turn, this doubt and disillusion
Turn, I need some restitution
Turn, spiritual revolution now
Turn, some kind of restoration somehow

I used to be so sure, she said
About what I felt and what I could believe
Now the world looks like some smooth talking gambler
And he's got all of the aces up his sleeve
But don't you judge me too harshly
I mean, why should you condemn or approve
We all create our own illusions anyhow
Sometimes it seems like you win
Sometimes it seems like you lose

(Chorus)

I looked deep in her blue eyes and she said
Well I really must go
Cause just as sure as the crow flies
There's an answer I have got to know
And this is such a transitory place anyway
I mean, we're not here long
But we gotta carry the load
She got this far away gleam in her eye
And then she looked out on down the road

Somewhere some timeless, spaceless place
I turned and watched her go

A million planets from here
The air is fresh and clear
It seems so far yet so near
A million planets from here
The elves and fairies live there
And mermaids with golden hair
They live in peace and treat each other fairly
A million planets from here

And they live in a place beyond time and space
And they sing songs of joy and caring
And they respect the land and reap of her gifts
And they dwell in joy and sharing

Away, away we will fly to that land in the sky
Away, away when they come to find us
On dreams and light beams we'll sail so high
Leaving all our worries behind us

In the Land of Dreams
We are unhampered by the form
We are untouched by the storms of life
That leave us helpless every day
In the Land of Dreams
Life is full of love and care
There is no room for sorrow there
There is no reason for despair

I spread my wings and fly
Over cliffs and canyons high
I am a golden eagle in the sky
Rainbow rivers passing by
And I can feel the wind
Flowing past me in the sun
Knowing that all life is One
And every moment it's begun again

Spirit is a never ending climb
To the Source of Energy
Struggling we leave our past behind
In an attempt to become free
If we could just let go and take the ride
And enjoy every single breath
We could unleash the power of the other side
And find the Fountain of Resourcefulness

Fear is like a wall that blocks the Way
But there is a door we can pass through
To greater vision and another day
A purer life for me and you
Join me, Join me in this joyful song
Tap the Source of Energy
With greater number we can become strong
And change the course of history

Don't be afraid

Spirit is a never ending climb

Everybody follows his own path
Everyone looks for a light of some kind
Everybody deals with his own wrath
The poor and the gifted, the seeing and blind

And the energy is for you and me
And I hope you can tap into yours
And the peace I find in my Heart and Mind
Is the Light that will always endure
The Light will endure

Life spinning round in a circle
They say you receive the same you give out
Trapped by desire and impatience
The battle is strong, the faith and the doubt

But Old Lady Rose, she just sings in my Soul
Just like someone is singing in yours
And the Melodies and the Harmonies
Are the Light that will always endure

The Light will endure
Look for the Magic

Spirit of Faith come down
Descend to us we pray
For we need Your strong and gentle arms
To help us through each day
We are marching for the Spirit
We are dancing for the Soul
Come down Great Spirit to my life
And make this poor heart Whole

I heard the Voice of a thousand angels
Singing in the night
And they said
Hold on, We are here
It will be all right

Deep in my Heart was a strong desire
And a Vision of the Light
Shine on brightly
Star within the night

They sang
Oh, There is a Mystery
Right beyond this veil we see
Oh, There is a Melody
You can sing along
You can sing along

Deep in my Heart there's a Golden Kingdom
Shining in the Sun
There are mountains and rivers
Dancing all as One

Look deep within for that strength and power
You're needing every day
And the Spirit within you
Is sure to show the way and sing

(Chorus)

You can fly if you try
You can see the Light
Shining in your Heart

This life is a dream, an unfolding drama
Such a transitory thing
There are changes daily
We cry and we sing

I don't want to waste another single minute
I want to breathe it all in
And I want to see Truth and Beauty
Again and again and again and I want to sing

(Chorus)
