Moon Dance 04:19
The moon was alive; it sang to the creek, turning the mud into silver, one eve as I entered the stage of a show so dazzling the chill couldn’t hinder, …and was it a dream, or was I just abound by the spell of the moon. But why did I come here tonight when lights of the city shine so bright? I left them far behind, and followed the road that leads to the sight of the moon. The song-birds replied and joined in the dance to the sky mud-bank and dune. The liveliest song went on with spotlight and chorus, abound by the spell of the moon. But why did I come here tonight when lights of the city shine so bright? I left them far behind, and followed the road … But why did I come here tonight when lights of the city shine so bright? I left them far behind, and followed the road that leads to the sight of the moon I was bound by the spell of the moon…

Cool Wind 03:46
Cast out to sea, a thousand miles surrounding me, so I stare across the waves, then close my eyes, and I drift away, as the cool wind softly blows past. I’m on an island, and my eyes are open. Tell me who I am. Now I understand. Standing still, I watch the world from my windowsill. Then I take my wings and fly away to the place where the cool wind softly blows past. I am on an island, and my eyes are open. Tell me who I am. Now I understand. …

Oh I don’t know what I would do without you. Someone’s turned the light out. And I miss all the songs you sang to me. Your words are like a river. No! We didn’t come all this way to live our lives apart. So, now on Valentine’s Day, I sing to you my heart. And you’re a thousand miles away from me. If only we were closer. But I still feel your heartbeat deep inside every time I think of you No! We didn’t come all this way to live our lives apart. So, now on Valentine’s Day, I sing to you my heart. And every night I lay there thinking of you and visions of our future. I wish that you could come back home to me cos darling I will always love you. No! We didn’t come all this way to live our lives apart. So, now on Valentine’s Day, I sing to you my heart.

I was dreaming of you – golden hair and pale blue eyes. Then the dream came true, and you were standing by my side. The moon was in your eyes and clouds were passing by. Oh, a mid-summer night, I’m dreaming of. I had fallen for you, and woke up in the world of love, and you had fallen in too, and there was no-one there to wake us up. The moon was in your eyes and clouds were passing by. Oh, a mid-summer night, I’m dreaming of I was singing to you, a song about a wonderland, and you were singing it too, though you couldn’t understand. But the moon was in our eyes and clouds were passing by on a mid-summer night, we fell in love. ...
