song lyrics:
Inarticulate
Speech of the Heart album
Well I'm higher than the world
And I'm livin' in my dreams
I'll make it better than it seems
TodayAnd I'm higher than a cloud
And I'm living in the sound
I'll make it better than it seems
TodayHigher than the world
But my head is in a swirl
I gotta give a life a whirl
TodayHigher than the clouds
Wrapped up in the sound
I'll make it better all around
TodayHigher than the world
But my head is in a swirl
I gotta give a life a whirl
TodayHigher in my mind
I'm going leave these blues behind
And I'll find what I find
TodayCause I'm higher than the world
And I'm wrapped up in my dreams
I'll make it better than it seems
TodayYes, I'm higher than the world
And I'm livin' in my mind
I got to hold on to what I find
TodayJust a little bit higher
Little bit higher(Transcribed by ear; corrections requested and welcomed!)

Rave on John Donne, rave on thy Holy fool
Down through the weeks of ages
In the moss borne dark dank poolsRave on, down through the industrial revolution
Empiricism, atomic and nuclear age
Rave on down through time and space down through the corridors
Rave on words on printed pageRave on, you left us infinity
And well pressed pages torn to fade
Drive on with wild abandon
Uptempo, frenzied heelsRave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass
Rave on fill the senses
On nature's bright green shady pathRave on Omar Khayyam, Rave on Kahlil Gibran
Oh, what sweet wine we drinketh
The celebration will be held
We will partake the wine and break the Holy breadRave on let a man come out of Ireland
Rave on on Mr. Yeats,
Rave on down through the Holy Rosey Cross
Rave on down through theosophy, and the Golden Dawn
Rave on through the writing of "A Vision"
Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave on, Rave onRave on John Donne, rave on thy Holy fool
Down through the weeks of ages
In the moss borne dark dank poolsRave on, down though the industrial revolution
Empiricism, atomic and nuclear age
Rave on words on printed page(Transcribed by ear; corrections requested and welcomed!)
Oh won't you stay
Stay a while with your own ones
Don't ever stray
Stray so far from your own ones
'Cause the world is so cold
Dont care nothing for your soul
That you share with your own onesDon't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
Just one more day
One more day with your own ones
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing bout your soul
That you share with your own onesThere's a stranger
And he's standing at your door
Might be your best friend, might be your brother
You may never knowI'm going back
Going back to my own ones
Come back to talk
Talk a while with my own ones
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothing 'bout your soul
You share with your own onesOh won't you stay
One more day with your own ones
Don't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
This old world is so cold,
Don't care nothing for your soul
You share with your own ones(Transcribed by ear; corrections requested and welcomed!)
Your street, rich street or poor
Used to always be sure, on your street
There's a place in your heart you know from the start
Can't be complete outside of the street
Keep moving on through the joy and the pain
Sometimes you got to look back
To the street again
Would you prefer all those castles in Spain
Or the view of your street from your window paneAnd you walked around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
And the street only knew your name
Well the street only knew your name, your nameWell Walter and John, Katie and Ron
Used to hang out by the corner lamp light
Get together and sing some songs
Like rhythm and blues you make me feel alright
That were long before fortune and fame
Nothing to lose and so much to gain
Everyone knew who everyone was
And they knew it because of the streetAnd you walk around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
While the street only knew your name
Well the street only knew your name, your nameAnd you walk around in the heart of town
Listening for that sound
While the street only knew your name
The street only knew your name, your name
Sing it, bebopaloola
Bruce(?) and John
Well the street only knew your name(Transcribed by ear; corrections requested and welcomed!)
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting on that shore
To hear the cry for home
You won't have to worry anymore
When you hear the cry for homeWhen you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for homeI'll be standing
I'll be standing within reach
When you hear, hear the callI'll be waiting
I'll be waiting in the breach
For you, when you hearWhen you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home(Instrumental)
When I listen
When I listen to the song
Well it feels, it feels so freeAnd you tell me
You will come and go with me
When you hear the cry for homeWhen you hear the call
You won't have to think at all
Hear the cry for home
spoken (one more, one more time)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
(One more open it up, open it up) (spoken)
When you hear, hear the call
You won't have to fake at all
Hear the cry for home
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
Hear (When you hear, hear the call)
