A Thousand Moments
Rushing to the eastern light
The sleepers’ fragile dreams disperse
Indifferent stars are put to flight
Philosophers return to earth.
Eiffel in the morning sky
Elusive in the distant haze
That moves away, but creeps behind
As I descend familiar ways.
Have you ever felt so far away?
One thousand moments passed you by today.
The early train is standing by
Purring in the sunlit bay
My eyes close in the sudden sky
Another moment locked away.
Did you pause upon the lover’s bridge?
And did you think about the love you missed.
Have you ever been in love before?
One thousand moments that you never saw.
Have you ever felt so far away?
One thousand people pass you every day.
How will I remember this
Beyond the grey metropolis.
A thousand monuments to bliss
The million moments in a life.

Suburb Sleepers
On far suburban night-grey roads
Sunlight sweeps away in rows
The sleeping shadows that lie below
The stirring leaves, and curtains in the breeze.
A million souls in un-plain sight
Try to hold their dreams from flight
Now day is equal with the night
Familiar moments will build them up again.
Oh - suburban streets
If I could sleep, amongst you now.
The hazy blossomed boulevards
The swings left hanging in the yards
Comfort that I can’t discard
The sleepers in their far familiar homes.
Speeding glimpses, random lines
Romantic absence of design
Join the web-like compass spines
The far familiar monuments to bliss.
Oh - suburban streets
If I could sleep, amongst you now.
The moments pass, the moments grow
Amongst you now, the sleep goes on….
The moments pass
The moments grow
Amongst you now
The sleep goes on…

The Summer Sky
So the moments built the day
Limitless and far away
Speed the beautiful moon
Through the summer sky
The deep blue sky.
Intoxicating light
In the weightlessness of night…
When love and life were fighting for
The light that never shone before
And from that world of grey
You chose to walk away
And not return again.

Beautiful Moon
This time, last year, high in the Alpine
Watching the sun climb, a moment with you.
Now I wonder, above the tree line
The snow tops, the skyline; the moon lost in blue.
If I try to close my eyes
Take this moment to remember
I need another cloudless day
To find you once again.
Beautiful Moon
In the midday sky
Nothing between you and I
But a hundred satellites
And this moment.
This time, last night, lost in the shadows
Then in the twilight, the first star appeared.
Holding each other, the warmth still remaining
The tree line was fading, the heavens were clear.
As we tried to close our eyes
Cowbells sang across the silence
Somewhere in the cloudless night
You lit the world below.
Beautiful Moon...
Limitless blue
Surrounding me and you
Though you’re so far away
I still see your face
So beautiful…
Beautiful Moon
In the deep blue night
One more lonely satellite
So curious and bright
A million moments…
