THE CHILDREN OF RARN

We are children of Rarn
We've trodden the vales of the sun
The child will cry
On swans they fly
We are the children of Rarn

And we are the seekers of space
We've seen our master's face
It's young and gold
And silvery old
We are the seekers of space

OM.

JEWEL

I've got a little babe
With jewels upon her lip
I've got a little babe
With jewels upon her lip
Her hair's like a river
It's fast and slowly drips

She bathes in thunder
The elves are under her
She bathes in thunder
The elves are under her
She walks the wind
And has a panther
With silver fur

Her thoughts are gold
Her eyes electric blue
Her thoughts are gold
Her eyes electric blue
She sleeps upon the dreams
Of me and you.

THE VISIT

My eyes went up
It was sunrise
The sky turned black
It was noon

A ship of the silverest
Metal
Shadowed out
All of the moon

A shape
That was golden and crimson
Extend a claw
To my frame

I sunk in the sand
Like an infant
I screamed
But my tongue was lame

My heart on a platter
They'd stolen
My eyes
Were all fiery flame

A sound like sweet dove
I did stutter
And then the ship
Swum the skies again

CHILDE

I want to give every childe
The chance to dance
I want to spread my feet
In the silver heat

I want to give every man
A kingdom fair
To hide inside
His golden hair

I want to give every face
A secret place
Where to take their tears
So there's no disgrace

I want to give every childe
The chance to dance.

THE TIME OF LOVE IS NOW

Light up your face
With all the love within you
Say your word
Make it heard

Light up the wind
With all the kings inside you
Shout it out
Have no doubts
For the time of love is now

Light up your head
With things the children said child
Make a start
From your heart

Light up the world
With poems from within you
Shout it out
Have no doubts
For the time of love is now

And your days of love
Are always in a dream
You know.

DIAMOND MEADOWS

If I could have grown
All upon my own
If I could have grown
I grew
If I could have grew
I do

If I had a throne
You could call it home
If I cry my tears are yours
To open any frozen doors

Hey let's do it like we're friends
Let's do it do it
Hey let's do it like we're friends.

ROOT OF STAR

A root of star
I gave to thee
From the canyons of the sea
A jewel of frost that was lost
In days of dreams when we were free

A shield of bronze a thousand gongs
That calls the queen of dreams to me
A mask of jade I shyly laid
To thy form of finery

A root of star baby.

BELTANE WALK

Trucking down by the roadside
Met a man with a starhide
He said boy wouldn't you like to look
But could it give me love
Give me little love from her heart

Bopping down by the whirlpool
I met a girl she was god's tool
I said girl wouldn't you like to rock
But could it give me love
Give me little love from god's heart

Walking down by the westwind
I met a boy he was my friend
I said boy we could sing it too
And we do
Give us love
Give us little love
Give us little love from your hearts

And then we'll walk.

IS IT LOVE?

Is it love
Is it love
Is it love that makes us rock

We're gonna rock
We're gonna rock with love

Is it love
That makes us rock.

ONE INCH ROCK

Met a woman she's spouting prose
She's got luggage eyes and a roman nose
Her body is slung from side to side
Need a lift she said much obliged
I'm riding piggy-back
Then I came to her shack

We go inside the place it's a mess
She said my name's the liquid poetess
She unties her mouth
And her buckskin dress
She drinks from a bottle
labelled tenderness
I'm in one hand in the other's a can

She puts me in the can
And smiles through the wall
I got the horror's cos I'm one inch tall
Next thing I know's a girl by my side
Dressed in a bayleaf she's trying to hide
I asked her name she said Germaine
Do the rock do the one inch rock.

SUMMER DEEP

Summer deep is in the hills again
His lady is a lioness
Winds of birds blow through the fields again
Invaders from the true worlds

A coat of grapes is on my back again
I ride upon my zebra
Pterodactyl beak hat on my brow
The truth is like a stranger
Be like you could
All my friends say.

SEAGULL WOMAN

One day she came like a seagull woman
One day she came
One day she came like a seagull woman
One day she came
One Day

One day we change from children into people
One day we change
One day she went like a seagull woman

SUNEYE

Love you
Oh girl I do
Love you

Come the sun
See it run
Across the sky
Cosmic eye
Is for you
And no one else

Love you
Oh girl I do
Love you

Come the sun
See it run
Across the sky
See it cry
For you
And no one else

Tree wizard puretongue
The digger of holes
The swan king
The Elf lord
The eater of souls
Lithon the black
The rider of stars
Tyrannosaurus Rex
The eater of cars.

THE WIZARD

Walking in the woods one day
I met a man who said that he was magic
Wonderful things he said
Pointed hat upon his head
Knew why people laughed and cried
Why they lived and why they died

Shadows followed him around
He walked the woods without a single sound
Golden eagles at his door
Cats and bats played on the floor
Silver sunlight in his eyes
The wizard turned and melted in the sky.
