Angels Around Your Head (Master Tapes Version) Lyrics

There's a way to this but it comes too late

And they say a vision can seal your fate

I know I'm chained because now I can see

There are Angels Flying Around Your Head

I walk around like this town's latest clown

The fingers point and the eyes do stare

But it's you who digs the simple rhymes I bare

You me close and heal my doubts

And my mind is rich because I just found out

There Angels flying around your head

There Angels flying around your head

Around your head

Around your head

Around your head

There Angels flying around your head

Our life's are made by moments just like these

They fill the void with the love you hold

I can't pretend to feel nothing

When the love you give is everything

There Angels flying around your head

There Angels flying around your head

Around your head

Around your head

Around your head

There Angels flying around your head

Tender Spirit Tender Heart

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way

As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

Of a world so hard to bear well it was never meant to be

When you're too open to the pain so much to lose nothing to gain

And you can't turn that ship around when your compassion brings you down

And you wanna be released look for goodness where it's found

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way

As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

You been holding back some ways all the things you held inside

You know the world may never see all the beauty that you hide

All your passions and your dreams all of life and what it means

How you navigate the days how on this earth you find your way

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way

As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

Tender spirit tender heart ain't it always been that way

As you walk on down the line try not buckle 'neath the weight

Ascendance

Ascendance aint nothing but higher ground

When your caught up in the undertow

And life can bring you all so low

Into the chasm where you might find some semblance of something

Just like Ascendance

Ascendance yeah aint nothing but

Nothing but

Nothing but

Nothing but higher ground

Your heart strings break they're pulled so tight

You're rolling in the dead of night

Say when the nightmare becomes a sweet dream

Of something just like ascendance

Ascendance aint nothing but

Nothing but

Nothing but

Nothing but higher ground

Ascendance is not hard to find

It's just freedom in your state of mind

To choose the highways and byways to vistas of new life

And something just like ascendance

Ascendance yeah aint nothing but

Nothing but

Nothing But

Nothing but higher ground

Ascendance yeah

Paradise

When your soul walks the path of the darkest night

Don't expect no relief from the blue moonlight

You can't wrestle angels and expect to when that fight

No you can't defeat the things you know to be right

We travel all days all days

We travel all days all days

We travel all days but it's a long way to paradise

You were stung by the truth in the lies that you told

You were enchanted by treasures that your hands could not hold

You swopped your soul at the crossroads for a dead end street

You were shipped wrecked on a iceberg in the boiling heat

They said that mountain could never be climbed

But you reached the peak only to find

Those cats giving honours never formed no line

Wasted all your precious time

And it's a long way to paradise

All your good books have been turned to pulp

You're surrounded by gurus and they offer no hope

And covering your bed in feathers and twigs

Don't make it a nest and Cutis Mayfield said

Don't accept nothing but the supreme best

Belief

Oh the things that we believe

Can form a snare around your feet

Leave locked down where you don't really want to be

Oh the things that we believe

They say we pluck them like apples from a tree

And if the ones we leave behind are the loving kind

Would we be surprised to find

Our children's destiny

Such such a bitter seeds

And what is true for you

May not be true for me

So why fight so needlessly

When what we only want

We only want is to live in peace

Oh the things that we believe

Can form a snare around your feet

leave you locked down

Where you don't really want to be

Birds Fly South for The Winter

Birds fly south for the winter,

They look for warmer climes

They take their lives at their command

They are not tide to just one land

Birds fly south for the winter

They don't wait for need and hunger

Through cross winds west and east

For harvest for a feast

Oh sweet soul of mine

Won't you learn to clime

When I reach those times

I need some peace of mind

Birds fly south for the winter - yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter – oh yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter - they do, they do, oh yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter to drink from pure clean lakes

Oh they fly as one

To find that healing sun

Oh sweet thirst of mine

Won't you be satisfied with some pure clean water

To sooth this soul of mine

Birds fly south for the winter - yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter – oh yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter - they do, they do, oh yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter - yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter – oh yes they do

Birds fly south for the winter - they do, they do, oh yes they do

The Amazon

Walking out in the Amazon

Five thousand miles from home

Walked away all the fears I had

Sorrows from my soul

I was not alone and I'm so at home so at home with you

Rainfall fell down in the Amazon

Chilled me to the bone

Washed the fears from heart scales from eyes

So I could see it's true, I was not alone

And I'm so at home with you

I'm so at home with you

I'm so at home with you

I feel at home with you

And I'm so at home so at home with you

Have you ever been down to the Amazon

Five thousand miles from home

I was not alone I was not alone

Sometimes it's hard to see what's right in front of your eyes

Sometimes it's hard to trace the tracks and pathways our lives

But I was not alone and I'm so at home so at home with you

Butterfly

How can you be so low, you so beautiful

Well that was never meant to be

And it's been two long years since you and I first met

It's only now I feel this way

And it's been so few words you and I have shared

How come they mean so much to me

So fly come on now fly come now

My butterfly you know you set my world alight

Is there a warmer place than the warmth of your smile

Well that's a place I've never been

And when we bring you low come and hear us say

Show us our good our life's can be

So fly come on now fly come now

My butterfly you know you set my world alight

And if your beauty would climb higher maybe then we all could see

And if we only knew what knew maybe then we could be free

So fly just fly wow fly just fly

Just fly wow fly just fly

Healing Time

I awoke a 3 AM in a cold sweat life hit me like a wave I could not run from it

In every city every town every stretch of ground the wounds of life abound

So how long, how long how long how long

Must we kneel and pray for healing time healing time again

In the cold cold light of day when life hits you like a wave how we run from it

In every city every town every stretch of ground the wounds of life abound

So how long, how long how long how long

Must we kneel and pray for healing time healing time again

So how long, how long how long how long

Oh Lord how long

Must we kneel and pray for healing time healing time again

Jericho

My mother told me son you better run run and the road will be rocky

And the wind will hold you back

My father told me son you better run run and the road will be rocky

And the sun will burn your back

But have faith for you will find you will find

It's a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear

Such a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear.

But if you make it there with just one prayer

Those walls will come tumbling down

If you make it there with just one prayer

Those walls will come tumbling down

They come tumbling they come tumbling they come tumbling down

My Mother told me son you better run run and the load will be heavy

And may scorn your back

But have faith for you will find you will find

It's a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear

Such a long way to Jericho such a long way I swear.

But if you make it there with just one prayer

Those walls will come tumbling down

If you make it there with just one prayer

Those walls will come tumbling down

The Golden Rule

Too Many trying to love now, bringing only pain

There's a dimensioned missing named the golden rule

As we spend all the time that we do

Causing all the pain that we do

Can make wish we only knew the golden rule

Too much heartache and not enough for love sake

Too much pain is still not enough

Too much heartache and not enough for love sake

Too much pain is still not enough

Let's learn from our mistakes the golden rule

Let's put right our mistakes the golden rule

Forgetting is our greatest mistake the golden rule

As Years Go By

I find myself at a halfway house caught in between and with no way out

I don't want for anything I'm just wasting everything

As the years go by

Devil dogs playing in my head saying every vow that you made is dead

Well they're only here to haunt you and how they're going to haunt you

As the years go by

It's going to some how take a hold of you

It don't matter what you try to do

Picks you up and carries you away

Until you feel there's nothing left to say

As the years go by

You used to be kind to the brave and new

Now you don't care for that point of view

Revolutions cannot change you

Don't even slightly rearrange you

As the years go by

Let them go just let them go yeah

Let them go just let the go yeah

Let them go Just let them go
