Ana 03:24
Play in the sand without a care lay in the sand I'll clean out your hair Ana my joy wash over me gather your joy wash over me Silence, it seems weighs like a ton might as well scream loud as I can Ana my child falling like leaves unwrap your smile share it with me (solo) And when the sun falls from the sky I promise the sun tomorrow will rise Ana my light I shine unto thee gather your light shine unto me (end)

My head is old and tilted to the grave when I'm gone who will my memory save? When I was young my hand was forced against me to a man I did not love though to the law we were married I he did not have Still nothing can keep the heart from wishing even in my bondage did I fly then a man who walked in strength and power spoke in song and rhyme "Will you follow me where I may go, child yes, I will follow you where you will go life is short and tailored for the living lead and I will go ---- Words soft and warm he no longer shared my heart grew cold and stumbled t'ward the grave What kind of man so drunk on power crack the whip on everything he rule? force a rose to cover up her flower turn a queen to a mule One of these days my darling soon and it won't be long you're gonna wake up a'callin' and I'll be gone Then death came so slow and uninvited left him to lord no more and left me with longing unrequited wealthy yet poor ----- One of these days my darling soon and it won't be long you'll wake up reaching for your sadness and find it gone Song after song a young man to me gave my heart grew warm and flowered from the grave don't you know that love is like an ocean of satin blue, so vast and free he was the bee to my blossom I the pear to his tree Then one day a storm came a'crashing river near swallowed us whole he was consumed by a madness his heart I could not hold This madness it had a hungry power for my life it took an aim I had no choice but to defend it the judge gave me no blame Dear God I loved him with a passion loved him till death did us part now I in my sorrow and confusion over must start Yes my head is old and tilted to the grave when I'm gone love alone will save love alone will save love alone will ...

Won't you wake me when you rise? as the day is breaking Won't you warm me with your smile? love to us is saying This day was made for you lest we be mistaken There's treasure through and through ours for the taking Said this day is open wide quietly unfolding Grace and beauty by your side ever softly saying This day was made for you lest you be mistaken There's treasure through and through yours for the taking (solo) Spirit guide me when I rise to be still and listen in your whisper to abide ever softly saying This day was made for you lest I be mistaken There's treasure through and through mine for the taking yours for the taking ours for the taking (end)

To Be Loved 04:47
Believe you me when those his age were children he was known for acting like a man and his passion toward the girls was legend casanova, they called him then After all, all he wanted was to be loved by someone, who his love did receive After all, all he wanted was to be loved by someone, who in him, did believe The only promise to us from life is changes most of which, in the end we can't control Still we wrestle through nights of fear and anguish curse of ages, return my soul 'coz after all, all we want is to be loved by someone, who our love does receive After all, all we want is to be loved by someone, who in us, does believe Love will starve the hungry coward a feast that's only for the brave love will dish the harshest beating to only those it came to save Love will starve the hungry coward a feast that's only for the brave love will dish the harshest beating to only those it came to save (end)

Tenderness 03:41
Forgive me for I am a child stolen from his mother's breast Never knew a mother's love never knew no Tenderness For years long and sorrow wide I staggered through this world alone This you must consider please before you cast your perfect stone Forgive me, still I am a boy though manly in my every way amongst the brambles I did grow far from eyes that looked away Tables how they seem to turn what you see as victory tomorrow brings you agony then leads you to a river blessed lashing out in my despair so many things I do regret but tears have made the bitter sweet now I know of Tenderness (end)

Father my father sadly I hear gone are your sons and your daughters Poor and abandoned they drowned in their tears strangers to comfort and laughter What I believe is sunken and dead It's hard to believe when nothing is left Brother, forgive me my peace I have lost before you stands a shadow What I have yesterday gained is awash and who knows if there is tomorrow? What I believe is sunken and dead It's hard to believe when nothing is left Sister, my sister I beg you, stay close gone is my heart in these waters Come is a sadness that burdens me so soon will be comfort and laughter We wade through the sour to get to the sweet So better must come, come, come This I Believe (end)
