In the moonlight, in the distance
Drums were whispering a heartbeat
In the distance, in the moonlight
Waves were breaking up the shore
Across the universe
Giant gears were turning
And we were part of it
Back then the constellations
Seemed so close to me
So full of mystery
Barefoot down a gravel road
A young man spoke in my direction
With a slight Italian accent
Shared a full moon invitation
His voice just barely
Loud enough to hear
Still it lingers
Sweetly in my ears
All along those dusty roads
The crickets called out to the toads
All the way down to the coast
The night that I remember most
Across the universe
Shooting stars were falling
And so I made a wish
Back then the constellations
Were nameless to me
So full of mystery
I found you and you found me
A makeshift disco by the sea
Salt and seaweed in the air
Barefoot, free, without a care
We danced like children
Spirits in the night
Fearless, timeless
Weightless in the moonlight
It washed over me
Washed over me
Ooo over me, ah oh over me
Ah oh over me, ah, oh over me
In the moonlight, in the distance
Drums were whispering a heartbeat

Dreamers

In the beginning
The road rose up to greet us
The sun was warm upon our backs
Rain fell gently on our tracks
In the beginning
The stars were there to guide us
The earth was soft beneath our toes
The future ours to compose
We believed you and me
Had a date with destiny
In the end we would be
Nothing but melody
We were dreamers but we knew
That our dreams were made of atoms
Packed our bags and joined the ranks
Of an army without tanks
We were dreamers and we knew
That our dreams were made of radiance
We were dreamers, yes it's true
But our dreams were made of atoms
We believed you and me
Had a date with destiny
In the end we would be
Nothing but melody
Crossed the land
And sailed the sea
On a ship of poetry
In the end we would be
Nothing but melody

I thought it would be easy
To change your mind
I thought it would be easy
Just a question of time
Back when April dreamed of May
I thought of what I'd say
But June went by too soon
And August skipped July
I thought it would be easy
To change your mind
I thought it would be easy
Just a question of time
Back when April dreamed of May
I thought I'd find a way
But June went by too soon
And August skipped July
Back when April dreamed of May
I hoped that you would stay
But June went by too soon
And August skipped July (2)
I thought it would be easy
To change your mind
I thought it would be easy
Just a question of time (2)
A few more months like this
Give or take
I'm fine but trees are bare
And showing wear
A few more leaves
Coming down
Making mounds
On the ground (2)

Under the Sun

Early this morning
A mockingbird sang from a tree
I went back to sleep
And had the most wonderful dream
Of you and me
Magical and free
A different world
All that we could be
Under the sky of love
Under the sea of love
Under the sun
Castles in the sky
And though we're young
Barely getting by
I still believe
We'll get there if we try
And we will live in bliss
Forever after
Under the sky of love
Under the sea of love
Under the sun of love
Under the moon of love

Sleeper

The time has come
To take the steps that need be taken
Seems clear to me
The sleeper must awaken
The time has come
To share my clear intention
You might see
A gradual transformation
The time has come
To take a new direction
Can you see?
To make the right connection
I realize that this may come as a surprise
A ship of fools seeking uncharted destinations
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper must awaken
The time has come
To take the steps that need be taken
Seems clear to me
The sleeper must awaken
I realize that this may come as a surprise
There hasn't been much time
For heart to hearts and explanations
A ship of fools seeking uncharted destinations
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper must awaken
The sleeper must awaken
I realize
I realize
I realize
I realize
