ALIYAH'S SOJOURN

Cathedral ceiling divine sistine morphine
synesthesia symphony anesthesia awakening
tranquil tributary centrifugal wavelength
drifting free will celestial cynosure
greetings Father Christmas
perilous temptation
tiding Maestro Reaper
zenith zephyr asteroid voyage
cosmic frontier Promised Land
silhouetted vision quest wandering Prophet
karma ricochet crucible sacrifice faust feast
incandescent Magellanic Cloud
incorporeal crash landing
ecclesiastes O Aliyah elysian diadem
cascading light beckons
renaissance monarch myth galloping mist
Kiss of Life vibrant radiant avatar
tuft of gossamer wings riding destiny
oracle dove the world to come

BABY BLUE

once upon a time
she dressed so fine
princess on the steeple
all the pretty people
exchanging precious gifts
she's bemused
ribbons and bows and curls
napoleon diplomat discovers that
she's invincible now
she's still gotta secret left to reveal
satisfaction
on the road
turning wheel
she's like a rolling stone
winds of change cast a shadow
seven silver bugles cast a magic spell
gilded chariot sailing into the sky
you go your own way
i'll go mine
shine the light that surrounds you
farewell sweet baby blue

@court2 so true

[court2]

allegiance shifts like sands of time
all my life living behind enemy lines
now I realize you were never mine

American Lady
the light in your eyes
Amnesty baby
eyes like mine

emotion moves across twilight
the shining light divides
now I realize
you were never mine

American eagle
forest in your eyes
Armistice baby
freedom rides

American Lady
the light in your eyes
Amnesty baby
eyes like mine

times square
boulevard lady
runaway baby
american rock
dreidel baby
spinning top

american lady
american lady
american lady
american lady she moves, she moves

down on barbary lane
cannery row
fisherman's wharf
barrel keg 'o barley
stowaway sailor
carribean parakeet
in a birdcage says
rock me
baby, all through the night
painted ladies
saloon barmaid
queen of hearts
won't you spend a while with me
canary island
jack o' spades
princess of diamonds
make me smile
just for tonight

[court2]

Enchanted
spellbound
breathtaking
fair maiden in waiting
redwood forest
equus rendezvous
medieval kingdom diorama
harlequin masquerade
castanet minuet serenade
primeval fortress biosphere
vitrescent emerald citadel Forbidden Empire
violet and scarlet cloaked halcyon liaison
resplendent sapphire solitaire pendant
beguiling sanguine parlour games
chrysalis metamorphosis
celestial medusa dreamcatcher
windswept gossamer
pegasus terrestrial
incorporeal crash landing ecclesiastes
Beth reach for the stars
Beth reach for the stars
Beth reach for the stars
Beth reach for the stars

BLACK DIAMOND EYES (YOU AMAZE ME)

I took a shot in the dark
guess my theory
it came up cherries.
I asked you for a dance
your black diamond eyes
amaze me
you inspire me baby
to raise the level of my game
yes, you amaze me.
And somehow after we're free
I hope you will find your own joy
as you find your way
your black diamond eyes
sparkle in my mind
when my muse takes me by surprise
enlighten me.
Pray for my soul to keep
pray for my soul to keep
pray for my soul to keep
the only mantra my baby will ever need.
And someday after I'm gone
I hope you will find someone new
who will take my place
your black diamond eyes
look up to the sky
amazing
grace.
Harmony divinity serenity
you inspire me baby
to raise the level of my game
the answer in the sky
yes, you amaze me.

BLACK SWAN

silver shoreline
barefoot dancing
windswept and fancy free
parasol reverie
black swan pirouette
Yellow Mary, she's like a daisy unchained
everglade wilderness
Ibo Landing, drifting canoe to the sea
bonfire silhouette
chasing the dawning sun
calypso island
bird of paradise
pharaoh exodus
she gets high
she gets high
she gets high
moonlight serenade
daughter of the dust

B.O.A.C.

B.O.A.C. and the dormouse stirred 'twas Boxing Day
eight days a week and on the twelfth night the
doorman picks up the rice in a church don't mind if
I do get back judenrat roll over dakota boy
twenty flight rock gimme the B.O.A.C. blues.

The prince and the pauper twist and shout one lump
or two I'll have both don't mind if I do and the
mouse roared and the doorman sang roll over sweet
judenrat gimme the B.O.A.C. blues. Tweedle-dee and
tweedle-dum. Watusi.

And the people cane and the garden grew.

The doorman still sings that'll be the day the
music died. The doorman still sings chim-chim
chiree.

build a bridge to your heart
build a bridge to your heart
build a bridge to your heart
build a bridge to your heart

we all know what love can do
makes the world go 'round
we've all seen what peace can do
this child was lost and found

let's get it together people
say farewell to arms
revive the renaissance
make love not war

build a bridge to your heart
build a bridge to your heart
build a bridge to your heart
build a bridge to your heart

dreidel baby

american lady she moves, she moves

CONFETTI

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed
capsized by my own fears
sometimes it takes days
weeks months years
sooner or later
I'll get around to having tears
when the umbrella crowd whispers, "She's insincere!"
they think I lack compassion
don't worry it's only delayed reaction
baby, delayed reaction
When you feel empty handed
left your muse stranded
remember everyone likes your kinda compassion
effervescent fashion
sometimes it takes days
weeks months years
sooner or later
a delightful idea will appear
don't worry it's only delayed reaction
baby, delayed reaction
it's a party
confetti
it's a party
confetti
my world is birthday cake

CRY OF THE RAVEN ANGEL

Masthead of lanteen sail
grace unveil
billowing watery akhet
enfolding voyage.
O raven angel stellar nightfall
Miss raven angel tempest call.
Our sovereign surrender
marooned dhow moors
inside impossible bottle vitrescent
quiescent camelot cortege perfection.
Scarlet ribbon papyrus scroll ancient
libretto bittersweet memento
couture stiletto.
Regal ascension
coventry tudor
canopy boudoir
beneath the Eastern star.
Ephemeral fanfare
space-time momentum
unsung devotion
a beguiling hunt
set in perpetual motion.
Electric fairytale
grace prevail
to the Most High
minstrel of Enfolding Time

glory fades in the night
the raven angel cries.

DIAMOND SKYLINE

Festival lights; village street jazz beneath our
feet through misty breath on bended knee I will
plead till the end of time let me guard all your
lullabies.
Ash morning sky; picking up the pieces of life
wrapped in a flag mementos among debris O Father
guard sacred memories.
Long starless night feel my ancestors' temptation
wrapped in blankets my ragged soul's salvation
don't try to find me bonfire frostbite darken
alleyway; I know you've seen my kind before give me
a chance one last time I'll clean up, babe, I'll be
your immaculate valentine.

DRAGON LADY

heart of glass or

heart of gold

your kind moves too fast

I'm told

good things come to those who wait

baby, she's the devil incarnate

look to the west

look to the east

Great Migration born in captivity

dragon lady

she's made a sinner out of me

Trail of Tears

dragon lady

made a tiger out of me

c'mon, lay it bare

desire flames rising higher

desire meet me on the other side

desire rainbow sky

desire fly hummingbird fly
