Leave Tonight
I know every
I know I know I know
I know every rock and stone here
I’ve been having
I know I know I know
I’ve been having too much control here
I need to flow, dear
To be surprised
Let’s leave tonight
And find our way
In a different light
A different place
We’ll find our way
Let’s leave tonight

The Open Road
Step out of the door
Look for something more
Tell me how to turn my life around
What if happiness
Turns into cleanliness
And nobody is to blame but time
Nothing stays the same
I can hear the wheels approaching
Take me away, where no one knows me
I’ll start all over, be who I am
Without a story keeping me back
Clouds are breaking after the storm
Now’s awaiting
The open road

Today We Ride
It’s a new day, on a new road
Winding ‘round the hills unfolding
The river reflecting sunlight
Like silver gracing the mountainside
We’ve come to ancient, sacred land
Rain and wind go hand in hand
And only the strong survive
Where skin means hide, and shadow means life
Today we ride
Today we ride
This morning incomparable
Pure and simple. Peaceful
I’m hearing you say it’s magical
But I can’t say anything at all
And for a moment there’s no time
Clarity dawning deep inside
Today we ride
Today we ride
There is nothing ahead but the journey
And nothing in my head - I am learning
We’ll listen to the water sing
And to the leaves rustling
We’ll follow that bird we saw
And wait until it flies again
Today we ride
Today we ride
There is nothing ahead but the journey
And nothing in my head - I am learning

Island To Island
From island to island, on a worn down ferry
I pray: “If we need to swim, be ready”
The wind builds up to a storm - on our boat
Tourists and backpacks all over the floor
The weather settles, sea calms down
To a colour blue so deep it’s astounding
Suddenly a scream of surprise
Dolphins to the left of us, dolphins to the right
While we’re on the face of the earth, enjoy the ride
From hard times we come into the light
Sky will break, and the storm subside
Don’t give up, you never know what you might find
So the dolphins play with our boat, in front and behind
Into and out of the water they fly
People laugh out loud - I’m mesmerized
Don’t reach for my camera, don’t ever want to close my eyes
We reach the next island, it’s so quiet
Smells of wild mint and thyme
It’s not the destination that blew our minds
It’s between stations where wonders do arise
While we’re on the face of the earth, enjoy the ride
From hard times we come into the light
Sky will break, and the storm subside
Just around the corner, you never know what you might find

Heaven’s Closed
We’ve been traveling
I know I know I know
We’ve been pedaling up all day here
“You’ll be having a”
I know I know I know
“View from heaven”, that’s what they say here
But not today, dear
We’ve reached our goal
But there’s no show
I guess heaven’s closed
Only clouds and rain
And freezing cold
Let’s get away
Let’s just get away

New Ground
I came here to be on my own
This part of the journey I go alone
It’s nothing to do with you
Just something I needed to do
Been raining all day, but I smile
I breathe in the air and look at the sky
The light is so different here
Thundering waves that break on the pier
And the boat has turned around
It’s time for me to break new ground
Follow the river upstream
To the top of the hill, where no one can see me
And sing as loud as I can
Feel the grass under my hands
Tierra del Fuego trees withstanding
The ocean salt in the air
Far away running a mountain hare
So what did I come here to find ?
Birds on an island, or some peace of mind ?
To open my eyes and just see
Silence the voices inside of me
The distant lights of the town
It’s time for me to break new ground
Follow the river downstream
To the people in bars, the music that’s steamy
And dance for as long as I can

Journey

Journey
Whispering carefully
Windows open, letting in
A slow wind meandering
The room surrendering
And walls become halls
The door a vision
To a murder of crows foraging
Near the trees around
Calmly rising, traveling
The meadow, the lake
Pausing gently
Hovering
Now the city, crowned with trees
Murmuring “We shall protect thee”
From harm unknown, as yet undone
From thunder, snow
The setting sunlight reflects on you and me
In our house, for a ceiling the canopy
Lights reflect on you and me
And our house, for a ceiling the canopy

Questions
I will never
I know I know I know
Bring together
Sea and shore here
All this traveling
I know I know I know
Raises questions
Where do you go, dear ?
What makes it so clear ?
To ease my mind
In this space and time
And find that road
That takes me home
