@SONG: Hand-dancing (4:30)

song swaying in the air
i'm hand dancing in your hair
you're hand dancing in my soul

(18/VI/74)


@SONG: January In the Halifax Airport Lounge (3:19)

distant times in distant lands
worthless money changing hands
"changing them to what?" -- i wonder
as in the dust the jet plane thunders
carries every feeling into gloom
i miss you like i miss the flowers in bloom.

there's a crisis in the outer world
in the sky the smoke trails curl
some Winnipeg boys are Cyprus-bound
i hope they live to touch home ground
i hope we live to touch, if just once more
i need you like the river needs the shore.

in life so delicate and strange
understanding seldom comes in range
we stumble through familiar scenes
never thinking what it means,
in this cluttered landscape to be loved
i need you like i need the stars above.

(2/II/75)


@SONG: Starwheel (3:16)

Orion's high in the south-west sky --
you're bound to move on and so am i.
on this world we've had time to burn --
how come nobody ever seems to learn?
see how the starwheel turns.

crystal drift on the whistling wind --
constant change is the space we're in.
you may use a slide rule or a golden crown
but nothing's worth it that you can pin down --
see how the starwheel turns.

don't go playing no shell game with God --
only Satan's going to give you odds.
we're given love and love must be returned --
that's all the bearings that you need to learn.
see how the starwheel turns.

(23/I/75)


@SONG: Lament For the Last Days (5:24)

the crescent moon is rising slow
swiftly blades in ice do grow
on the branches star-bleached snow
waits while time is passing

outside the door the dancer whirls
chiming bells and shining curls
flying footsteps in the snow
rhyme the rhythm of ruin

beside the wall the beggars call
"Man have mercy on us all"
the night-bound choir inside chants on --
a hymn to brick and pistols

you can stumble, you can fall
or you can make the nations crawl
but when death comes in to call
he don't care about it.

oh, Satan take thy cup away
for i'll not drink your wine today
i'll reach for the chalice of light
that stands on Jesus' table.

(23/II/75)


@SONG: Joy Will Find A Way (a song about dying) (3:50)

make me a bed of fond memories
make me to lie down with a smile
everything that rises afterward falls
but all that dies has first to live.

as longing becomes love
as night turns to day
everything changes
joy will find a way

(6/1X/74)


@SONG: Burn (4:08)

look away across the bay
yankee gunboat come this way
Uncle Sam gonna save the day
come tomorrow we all gonna pay
(Chorus:) and it's burn baby burn
when am I going to get my turn

something dead under the bed
local diplomats hang their heads
never mind what the government said
they're either lying or they've been misled

(chorus)

Phillipines was yesterday
Santiago and Greece today
how would they ever make
the late news pay
if they didn't have the CIA?

(chorus)

here it comes, the loaded gun
"must keep the commies on the run"
you'd buy or bury everyone
for liberty and life
and just plain fun

(chorus)

(28/I/74)


@SONG: Skylarking (3:20)
(Instrumental)


@SONG: A long-time-love song (4:41)

can't trace this conversation --
words fragment and fall
into blue shadows by a white-baked wall.
through shimmering spaces a single thrush calls --
a song when it's over is no song at all.

(Chorus:) and you know I long to feel that sail
leaping in the wind
and i long to see what lies beyond that rim
oh, ever-new lover and friend
sing me that love song again.

time measured in summersaults
and flickering kids' play --
cross-world and southward it's a fine summer day
translucent life-span evaporates away
to bead on the cool grass in a cyclic ballet

(repeat chorus)

(25/XI/74)


@SONG: A Life Story (6:16)

sky-wild
far cry
wings-slash-free
Christ is born for you and me

wind rush
reed bend
storm tossed sea...
Christ is nailed upon a tree

mists part
sunrise
Shining Key...
Christ is risen to lead us free.

(13/XII/74)


@SONG: Arrows Of Light (4:55)

arrows of light
come
pierce my soul
pierce my soul

breath of the bright
wind
make us one
make us one

life is singing
like a great bell ringing
