Caged Bird
I know why the caged bird sings
longing for the things just beyond her reach
I know why the light at dawn
can be mournful when you know
it’s time to move on.
just beyond where the eye can see
just beyond where the mind can be free
i have spent lonely days
trying to understand the way
but i come up empty
i have asked inside a dream
what’s my reason or my worth for being
ust beyond where the eye can see
just beyond where the mind can be free

Buffalo Bayou
Let me take you to the place I love to go,
In the country down by the valley below.
They call it Buffalo Bayou,
A place where our love can grow.
I’m longing to be there by you.
Where the water flows.
From my window you can see Tennessee.
With her green trees far as the eye can see.
We're almost to Buffalo Bayou
A place where our love can grow.
I’m longing to be there by you.
Where the water flows.
We followed the path through the forest to the water so blue
A 1000 starlings took flight as I reached out for you.
You took my hand, and you said follow me.
to a land where our love be can roam free.

Beating Heart
Drop by drop the rain is falling
a gentle rhythm calling
I can’t wait to hear your beating heart
wild and true how love can change the shape of everything you knew
time and space have no place in a beating heart.
working heart
thinking heart
searching heart for the reason
growing
trying
turning around like a season

Solo un Goccio

Solo un Goccio
solo un goccio
un goccio di speranza
dammi questo
che posso galleggiar
richiedo poco
un piccolo sorriso
mi bastera’ un goccio
per potere volar.
solo un grano
dentro i miei pensieri
un bel sollievo
un grano bastera’
cosi’ coltivo
il piccolo germoglio
poi tutto quel che voglio
un bel giorno verra’
non ci vuole molto
per continuare
sognare e cantare
della gioia che verra’
mi cambiera’ la vita
della gioia che verra’
riempiera’
la vita

Summer in Austin
All week long they’ve been predicting hurricane winds and 3 days of rain.
Yesterday the wind started blowing, dark clouds moved in but the rain never came.
Summer in Austin this year
it gets so lonesome when no one is near
life has changed from how we remember
perhaps come December we’ll be close again.
Some old friends have gone by the wayside
then unexpectedly some have stepped in
out the window the wide world’s in trouble
it’s time to redouble some good will again
Summer in Austin this year
some days fill up like a bucket of tears
life has changed from how we remember
perhaps come December we’ll be close again.

Lean to Me
Only talk to me of the beauty that you feel
and the song you hear that is real
Only show me shadows that fall through the trees
as we talk, take my hand, walk me
all of the jasmine is blooming tonight
the rain has stopped the air is cool and i love you
only take me into the night where every breath is sweet
lean to me
lean to me

Old New York
It was a perfect early Fall day
the day we met to say Hello
Bright rays shining off the concrete
cement and steel we used to know
Old New York
Silent sidewalks
in the morning
cuz everyone sleeps late in Old New York
a little bit of blue sky
framed by the buildings steep
it’s clean somewhere up high
above the garbage in the street

Rayito de Luna
Como un rayito de luna
Entre la selva dormida
Asi la luz de tus ojos ha iluminado
Mi pobre vida
Tu diste luz al sendero
En mi noche sin fortuna
Iluminando mi cielo como un rayito
Claro de Luna
Rayito de luna blanca
Que iluminas mi camino
Asi es tu amor en mi vida
La verdad de mi destino
Tu diste luz al sendero
En mi noche sin fortuna
Iluminando mi cielo como un rayito
Claro de Luna

When the Rain Falls Down
All my life I’ve loved the Sunshine
Texas made me love the rain
wild wild wind lets my spirit fly
Picks me up when the Rain Falls Down
Picks me up when the Rain Falls Down
Picks me up when the Rain Falls Down
Bamboo knockin on my window
Bird sings out the warning song
dark clouds roll in covering up the Sun
Picks me up when the Rain Falls Down
Picks me up when the Rain Falls Down
Picks me up when the Rain Falls Down

Manhã de Carnaval
Manhã, tão bonita manhã
De um dia feliz que chegou
O sol no céu surgiu
E em cada cor brilhou
Voltou o sonho então
Ao coração
Depois deste dia feliz
Não sei se outro dia haverá
É nossa manhã, tão bela afinal
Manhã de carnaval
Canta o meu coração
A alegria voltou, tão feliz
A manhã desse amor
