Lyrics
The Giraffe City
Every single night I go
to see my love
To the city of the giant domes
so high above
And while our tribes were trading
our meats for all their wares
I climbed up to this city
and forgot about my other cares
Love is walking on the land
Gather footprints in the sand
Gather those things we always planned
On a night like tonight
I see your smiling face
and feel your warm embrace
and never want to see the ground
Love is walking on the land
On a night like tonight
The city floats from sight
with every passing day
The city floats from sight
don't float away
I run on sandy plains
and in the fading light
I see the city's domes
Footprints in the sand
I keep the pace
And run around the reedy grass
and see her face
And see her sad eyes brighten
and hear her happy laughs
And hold her till she takes me
on toward giant giraffes
The Friend Who Forgives
On the Windermere there is the isle of Belle
met my friend there on the lingy fell
She looked me in the eye
I thought I heard her sigh
I stood there with my hat
I knew that was that
And in this shaping world
where everybody lives
The very greatest beauty
is the friend who forgives
On the Windermere there is the isle of Tom
found my friend there standing very calm
He looked me in the eye
I thought I heard him sigh
I stood there with my hat
I knew that was that
And in this shaping world
where everybody lives
The very greatest beauty
is the friend who forgives
On the Windermere there is the isle of Birch
my friend found me on a midday search
I looked him in the eye
I couldn't help but sigh
He stood there with his hat
We knew that was that
And in this shaping world
where everybody lives
The very greatest beauty
is the friend who forgives
The One Hundred Trillion House
Go easy thrive be awake
Never falling to that mistake
Your value isn’t their call
See the dazzling grace of your all
What’s to look forward to when the future looks bleak?
The good inside ourselves is the beauty we seek.
Bright lights now time to begin
A great party for all within
Harsh critics heard from the street
Give you guidance, can’t stop the beat
What do we say now then when the present looks bad?
There’s lots of good in the world about which we’re glad.
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Wave to the band move on your feet
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Laugh at your golden balance sheet
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Look how you’ve won a fabulous prize
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Value yourself you’ll realize
That the secret is to understand
That you’ve got the great gift in the land.
Happy singing all through the place
Dancing bodies floating through space
Great beauty tied in a bow
Flawed but perfect and more than we know
What’s to look forward to when the future looks bleak?
The good inside ourselves is the beauty we seek.
Party’s ending time to take care
Of the mansion to which you’re heir
Neighbors judge us both right and wrong
While you listen keep singing your song
What do we say now then when the present looks bad?
There’s lots of good in the world about which we’re glad.
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Wave to the band move on your feet
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Laugh at your golden balance sheet
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Look how you’ve won a fabulous prize
You are a house of a hundred trillion cells
Value yourself you’ll realize
That the secret is to understand
That you’ve got the great gift in the land.
Enjoy Life and Make Wise Choices
