Can You Understand?
(Dunford-Thatcher)
Dollars down the penny drain
Frozen in the clouds
Dream away the last of pain
In waterfalls of sounds
Float across the icy pools
Leaves with curl and sway
Now your mind is floating cool
And you can find the way.
Can you understand? You can really understand
When the darkness comes you still shine
Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now
Open up your dreams and make the way shine sunshine now
Can you understand? You understand
Can you understand? You understand
Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now
Open up your soul and make your lifeline sunshine now
Can you understand? You understand
Can you understand? You understand.
Dancing without moving now
Growing with your soul
One with all around you now
Related to the all.
Purple mist around your hair
Eyes are fading blue
Smiling into everywhere
Love is coming through.
Let It Grow.
(Dunford-Thatcher)
Taking time to find the right line
Talking easy with the thoughts you want to share
Leaning down, feel you're knowing in my mind
Stealing down, going down, feel you growing in my mind.
It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow.
Finding ways to find the real you
Spending days just holding hands and feeling free
Play around, watch the sunshine coming through
Come around, stay around, watch the loving grow with you.
It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow.
Loving you, the love you give me
Living, loving with the things we have to share
Poetry, hear the words you say to me
Stay with me, here with me, keep our loving flowing free.
It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow.
On the Frontier.
(Jim McCarty, Thatcher)
We all are standing unafraid on the frontier
We all are shadows in the shade on the frontier
When the dawn is come we will stand strong
Where we belong.
The day belongs to each of us our time is getting near
The way is wrong for each of us our time is getting near
The seeds of yesterday are breaking through
To you.
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now
We're on the frontier now.
We're on the frontier now.
So come on leave the dark behind and join the day now
It's peaceful revolution time to join the day now
Morning breaks, the light will shine
And find the blind.
We all are standing unafraid on the frontier
We all are shadows in the shade on the frontier.
Carpet of the Sun.
(Dunford-Thatcher)
Come along with me
Down into the world of seeing
Come and you'll be free
Take the time to find the feeling
See everything on it's own
And you'll find you know the way
And you'll know the things you're shown
Owe everything to the day.
See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
You are the part that you're giving.
Come into the day
Feel the sunshine warmth around you
Sounds from far away
Music of the love that found you
The seed that you plant today
Tomorrow will be a tree
And living goes on this way
It's all part of you and me.
See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
You are the part that you're giving.
See the carpet of the sun
The green grass soft and sweet
Sands upon the shores of time
Of oceans mountains deep
Part of the world that you live in
You are the part that you're giving.
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun
See the carpet of the sun.
At the Harbour.
(Dunford-Thatcher)
Out at daybreak to the sun
Seas are drifting glass
The tides were turning to the storm
Winds were moving fast
Women waiting at the harbour
Silent stand around
Weather storms another day
For men the sea had found.
Fishermen were laying nets
The barrels spread the bait
The seagulls warning echoed round
Winds that wouldn't wait
People gathered at the harbour
Waiting for the tide
Eyes half closed against the spray
And tears they cannot hide.
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stand around
Weather storms another way
For men the sea had drowned.
Hulls were creaking crashing sails
Rains were slating down
The oilskins flapping, decks awash
Slanting turning round
Thunder roaring at the harbour
Women drawn in fear
Huddle up to wait the time
And pray the sky will clear.
Howling winds and the raging waves
Cracked upon the boats
And torn from safety, torn from life
Men with little hope
Ghostly echoes at the harbour
Whispering of death
Women weeping holding hands
Of those they still have left.
Shadows falling at the harbour
Women stand around
Weather storms another way
For men the sea had drowned.
Ashes Are Burning.
(Dunford-Thatcher)
Travel the days of freedom
Roads leading everywhere
Come with me now and show how you care.
Follow the dying embers
Cross on the paths they lay
Breath of the past, the earth's yesterday.
Clear your mind, maybe you will find
That the past is still turning
Circles sway, echo yesterday
Ashes burning, ashes burning.
Colours are fading starlight
Silver the way to find
Walking the shadows there in our mind.
Changing the order slowly
Leaving the mist of time
Fingers are holding fragments of mine.
Clear your mind, maybe you will find
That the past is still turning
Circles sway, echo yesterday
Ashes burning, ashes burning.
Imagine the burning embers
They glow below and above
Your sins you won't remember
And all you'll find there is love
Ashes are burning brightly
The smoke can be seen from afar
So now you're seeing how far
Ashes are burning the way
Ashes are burning the way.
