ANGEL Angel looked down from the sky to the ground She could see what was going on Whole lot of people were rocking and a-reeling Shaking in the body zone Something asleep inside her deep Woke to want that groove So she clothed her soul in an old silk robe and descended down the stairway into the world Her brand new body so strangely rearranged She could hardly feel the wings on her back But the beat of the blood in her feet and the flood Of the emotional heart-attack Said she'd arrived and in holy grand style And she thought her disguise was complete But as she bent her knees to the groove that pleased I saw her light shine into the world my angel! Well I knew right away, what it was I can say For the light fell from her like rain And everyone she touched as she danced through the crush Ceased to feel their pain As she lent to the groove her inimical moves I'd never felt so high To serve the muse I never refuse I pray she will stay in the world my angel! Ray beam Star light Earth glow Long night... composed 6.1994 Evan--Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Bells Lael--Voice, Rainstick, Bells Ted--Acoustic Lead Guitar, Voice Skwerl--Percussion Scott Elnes--Fretless Bass Guitar

HOW LONG Dad finds my pipe in the pocket of my coat Three days after I promised that I wouldn't take another toke He leaves the words unspoken that his trust in me is broken An' I feel invaded inside of me 'cause he read from my own diaries Yet behind two silent doors we both sing in separate harmonies How long, how long must I wait for your love? How long for your love? How long, how long must I wait for your love? How long for your love? The bread of faith was stale when he brought it to the table And she knew then that he had been untrue She cried, "Ed, why'd you do it?" And he said, "There's nothing to it." But he longed to search her eyes for the forgiveness that he craved But they kept the walls between them and their hearts continued bleeding Crying to say: How long, how long must I wait for your love? How long for your love?... And in the street all eyes are searching And in the halls our hearts are burning Sacred fire is whipped to sparks, scattered by the wind Some of us are lost on the inside Some of us are lost on the outside But all of us know right where we belong Crying: How long, how long must we wait for our love? How long for our love? How long, how long must we wait for our love? How long, for our love?

THUJA Thuja, child of Cedar You don't have to run You don't have to hide The wild wolf penned inside your ribcage Has been set free Has been let free Thuja, child of Cedar Gathered oils from her friends The trees in the old old forest Mixed them with cool clear water from the stream And took them inside of her Thuja, child of Cedar Thuja, child of Cedar If you're the only one who can do it You know you will do it And I love you (I love you) A golden ball grew inside her belly A glow so everyone could see And words she spoke And the light she passed through her hands To those deeper in need For those whose life we feared And for me, standing here Thuja, I am renewed, I love you Composed 5.2.1994 Evan Kimble--Voice, Acoustic Guitar Lael--Voice Ted Ford--Voice, Acoustic Lead Guitar Skwerl--Percussion Brian Couch--Bass

MY FRIEND GRACE at long last i lay down my pain closed the wound buried the ashes and aired out my room i had been chasing away my best friend but one morning i opened my door and grace walked in no one else would have come around my black cloud when i saw him on my door step i laughed and i wept out loud with a rag he washed the blood from my face how did i deserve my friend grace? he said to me "by these eyes i see high on your forehead the sickness of dread "two old friends have gone away — they have changed— they will not come back this bitterness must fall from you come in to me" with a hand he touched my face how i did embrace my friend grace Composed 1.12.1992 Evan Kimble--Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Killer Bees Sitar Lael--Voice Ted Ford-- Acoustic Lead Raga Guitar Skwerl--Percussion, Tablatic Conga Brian Couch--Bass

LONG LUSH NIGHT Shooting stars falling down all around a long lush night For loving you laying down on the ground a long lush night with you (with you) I sweep the hair from your eyes, they're the prize I'm seeking Diamonds try to compare, but your eyes are brighter to view (to view) I cross the border of your skin there is no returning Stars and mists and planets spin here within your secret wind Secret spirit wind I walk a path dusted with stars My body is scattered to ashes And spirals down to the origin Blown by your secret spirit wind Let my heart lull your sleep the night is deep and dawn is coming I am not who I was and your secret wind is the cause My hands are light, my road is right, my joy is bright as a long lush night with you as a long lush night with you as a long lush night with you...

10. TAKE NO PRISONERS (time) The clouds broke in half and at last appeared the sun — or the moon I don't know who it finally was And the three dear sisters of legend and lore whispered, here we are, come to hurt you once more I said, thank you, thank you for I'm deep in my lessons deep in my lessons and I needed one more To forgive you (forgive you) To forgive me (forgive me) My jealousy, guilty, will rob me no more The bite of my bitterness bit me before, like a rabies shot and a kick at the door and I hated you and longed for your failure But the three dear sisters of legend and lore whispered, here we are, weren't we here before? I said, yes, thank you for I've no wish to stay here no wish to stay here and you remind me i must rise To forgive you (forgive you) To forgive me (please forgive me) My jealousy, guilty, will rob me no more I owe nothing to credit, and I am at last my own keeper, and I'll keep nothing more and take no prisoners in the war of emotion I released the resentments of habit and fault, and I washed from the walls the speeches we wrote to each other And I tried to meet your eye but the words stuck in my throat so I buried the rotten egg of fear in the back compost And I ran over here — to tell you — I'm ready... The clouds broke in half and at last appeared the sun — or the moon I don't know who it finally was And the three dear sisters of legend and lore whispered, here we are, over there is the door I said, thank you, thank you for it's time I was going time I was going it's time I was gone To let you be free (you be free) To let me be free (me be free) My sanctity holds me till I sleep like a child I owe nothing to credit and I am at last my own keeper and I'll keep nothing more and take no prisoners in the war of emotion Composed 6.30.1994 Evan Kimble--Voice, Acoustic Guitar, Grand Piano Lael--Voice Ted Ford--Voice, Acoustic Lead Guitar Skwerl (Greg DeSimone)--Percussion
