1. Dimension

I fell down in the desert baby, yeah
I had nothing but a piece of paper, oh yeah
I had to write something down
And I found myself alone

Then I let go of everything
Into another dimension

Purple haze is in the sky
See the angel’s wicked eye
All these things we must try
‘Til we see the reasons why, oh yeah

Lightning crash on the hill tonight, yeah
I got a feeling everything is gonna be alright
Then a horse came running to me
Said we’re gonna go to the sanctuary

Then a storm begin to blow
Into another dimension

And purple haze is in the sky
See the angel’s wicked eye
All these things we must try
‘Til we see the reasons why, oh yeah

I got lost in the desert baby, yeah
I found temples made out of paper, oh yeah
They were drummin’ with golden bones
Buildin’ dreams up out of their homes

Then I let go of everything
Into another dimension

Yeah

2. White Unicorn

Have you been to the carnival
I would like to see you
There’s a whole lot of people there
Who would like to be you

With the white unicorn
Across her shoulder
Made you think that she might’ve been
Someone who’s older, yeah

And I know it’s on your mind
We’ve been drinking on the wine
That we drank from the serpent’s vine
Now we live in another time

We could live together
We could live together

She lives on the borderline
That they call hazy
And the tent that she lives in
Has the name of her lover, yeah

And I know it’s on your mind
We’ve been drinking on the wine
That we drank from the serpent’s vine
Now we live in another time

Sister can you tell me when the day turns to night
She left without a word and wandered inside
How many days must I still wonder why
And see her face in every passer-by

We could live together
We could live together

And I know it’s on your mind
We’ve been drinking on my wine
That we drank from the serpent’s vine
Now we live in another time

We could live together
We could live together
We could live together

3. Woman

Woman
You know you’re a woman
You got to be a woman
I got the feeling of love

When you’re
You’re talking to me
You see right through me
I got the feeling of love

She’s a woman, you know what I mean
You better listen, listen to me, yeah
She’s gonna set you free, yeah

You’re kinda looking at me
Like I got to set you free
I can’t be nobody

You’re kinda looking at me
Like I got to set you free
I can’t be nobody

She’s a woman, you know what I mean
You better listen, listen to me, yeah
She’s gonna set you free, yeah

Woman
You know you’re a woman
You got to be a woman
I got the feeling of love

When you’re
You’re talking to me
You see right through me
I got the feeling of love

She’s a woman, you know what I mean
You better listen, listen to me, yeah
She’s gonna set you free, yeah

4. Where Eagles Have Been

Well we always seem to worry
Life’s becoming such a flurry
Can’t you see that there’s lights in the dark
Nothing’s quite what it seems in the city of dreams

Rainbows tinted with gold
All the stories we’ve been told
Still her love is yours to behold
Nothing’s quite what it seems in the city of dreams

Oh

You say it’s not the real world
Though it seems so real to me
And I know that we’re never turning back
Can you see what I see, girl

I had a vision
Of festive days
She’s like an eagle
In the misted haze, oh

Sit and wonder at the sky
Watch the river flowing by
Now it ends and we’re here at the start
Nothing’s quite what it seems in the city of dreams

Oh

You say it’s not the real world
Though it seems so real to me
And I know that we’re never turning back
Can you see what I see, girl

I had a vision
Of festive days, oh
She’s like an eagle
In the misted haze, oh

Oh break my chains, girl
Show me to the land, oh
Where people live together
And try to understand

5. Apple Tree

Dear sir, can you remember me
I’m the one that picked the apple tree
Dear sir, can you remember me
I’m the one that picked the apple tree

Dear sir, can you remember me
Have a look inside the family tree
Dear sir, can you remember me
Have a look inside the family tree

Your daughter is so fine to see
Unraveled some mystery in me
When I see the apple in disguise
Oh my love I can recognise, no

Dear sir, can you remember me
I’m the one that picked the apple tree
Dear sir, can you remember me
I’m the one that picked the apple tree

Dear sir, can you remember me
I’ve seen the forest for the tree
Dear sir, can you remember me
I’ve seen the forest for the tree

Your daughter is so fine to see
Unraveled some mystery in me
When I see the apple in disguise
Oh my love I can recognise, oh

Dear sir, can you remember me
I’m the one that picked the apple tree
Dear sir, can you remember me
I’m the one that picked the apple tree

6. Joker & the Thief

I said the joker is a wanted man
He makes his way all across the land
See him sifting through the sand
So I’ll tell you all the story
‘Bout the joker and the thief in the night

He’s always laughing in the midst of power
Are we living in the final hour
There is always sweet and sour
So we are not going home

Can you see the joker flying over
As she’s standing in the field of clover
Watching out every day
I wonder what would happen if he took her away

What you see, well you might not know
You get the feeling coming after the glow
The vagabond is moving slow
So I’ll tell you all the story
‘Bout the joker and the thief in the night

All the people that you see in the night
Hold their dreams up into the light
The wildebeest is searching for sight
And we are not going home

Can you see the joker flying over
As she’s standing in the field of clover
Watching out every day
I wonder what would happen if he took her away

I said the joker is a wanted man
He makes his way all across the land
See him sifting through the sand
So I’ll tell you all the story
‘Bout the joker and the thief
I said, I’ll tell you all the story
‘Bout the joker and the thief
I said, I’ll tell you the story
‘Bout the joker and the thief in the night

7. Colossal

I saw the colossal landscape
Of which I never was a part
It was a magical day
Of which I’d never seen before

The first time I saw
Colossal girl
The first time I saw
Colossal girl

Such glowing mountains before us
Pillars of life all fade away
Of all the things I need to say, girl
All of these words are in my way

The first time I saw
Colossal girl

Well she’s running to the hills again
Can you tell me if she’ll ever return
She must be mother nature’s child
‘Cause she’s running to the call of the wild
She’s talking to the trees again
Telling me that she’s one of them
Looking at the bird in the tree
Though she’s never gonna notice me, yeah

Now is my love a confession
Will I just put it back today
If I had a love to give you
Would you still throw it all away

The first time I saw
Colossal girl
The first time I saw
Colossal girl

Well she’s running to the hills again
Can you tell me if she’ll ever return
She must be mother nature’s child
Cause she’s running to the call of the wild
She’s talking to the trees again
Telling me that she’s one of them
Looking at the bird in the tree
Is she ever gonna notice me, yeah

Can you remember the first time we met
Living together in colossal times
Some things are given with no reason why
Living together, oh what a time

I’m just a gypsy with wondering eyes
I’ll tell you secrets that send you to sleep
And all I can give you is all of my love
These are the things I can give you to keep, oh

And I’m just a gypsy with wondering eyes
And I’ll tell you secrets that send you to sleep
And all I can give you is all of my love
These are the things I can give you to keep

8. Mind’s Eye

When the time is right and the night is bright
We will see the things we’ve come to find
I’ve been searching for just a little more
But the days, girl, just slip away, oh yeah
And the red sunset that we just met, girl
I can see forever

Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try
Come and see the mind’s eye
Transfixed upon the why
Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try

Well they say it’s right if it feels alright
When your love burns up in the mire
So I burnt a fire for a last desire
See it burning higher

Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try
Come and see the mind’s eye
Transfixed upon the why
Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try

Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try
Come and see the mind’s eye
Transfixed upon the why

The mind’s eye
Right now

Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try
Come and see the mind’s eye
We can find it if we try

9. Pyramid

Can you see it’s a-full of lightning
All the futures that I see are whitening
I see the time of yesterday
Become the time that we have today, oh

Oh I’m looking for a hidden meaning
Can you tell me if it’s just a feeling
See the light is shining in your eyes
Is it love just in disguise

I saw the light shine out today
I saw the light shine out today
And it told me that, ah
That you’re not the one for me
That you’re not the one for me

Can you hear the ancient calling
I see the empires we’ve built are falling
All we have is the human touch
The clock is ticking even as we rush, oh

10. Witchcraft

Wrote a letter to you and threw it away
Spirit tried to call me I had no words to say
Oh, sister can you tell me if it’s gonna be ok

The chains and bangles were ringing aloud
Calling out without a sound

And she had witchcraft
And she drank from the craft

Her eyes are the opening to her soul
Spirits lie where secrets can be told
Oh make her an offer, your fortune can be sold

The chains and bangles were ringing aloud
Calling out without a sound

And she had witchcraft
And she drank from the craft

The chains and bangles were ringing aloud
Calling out without a sound

And she had witchcraft
And she drank from the craft

11. Tales from the Forest of Gnomes

Oh my friend don’t get caught in yesterday
All the things we’ve heard have left and made their way

Lower your guns even if love has turned to spite
We may find the enemy waiting inside
Light the candle to see what may unfold

If you listen to the sound within your mind
You may find the answer flowing in the tide

Say goodbye to your sorrow
And hello to tomorrow
Well I hear the fiddlers call
Say that love is here for all

So I wrote her a letter
And I tried to forget her
Well I don’t know where I’d go
Can you hear the river flow

Say goodbye to your sorrow
And hello to tomorrow
Well I hear the fiddlers call
Say that love is here for all

Lower your guns even if love has turned to spite
We may find the enemy waiting inside
Light the candle to see what may unfold

Oh my friend I hope you’re done with yesterday
All the things we’ve heard have left and made their way

Say goodbye to your sorrow
And hello to tomorrow
Well I hear the fiddlers call
Say that love is here for all

So I wrote her a letter
And I tried to forget her
Well I don’t know where I’d go
Can you hear the river flow

Say goodbye to your sorrow
And hello to tomorrow
Well I hear the fiddlers call
Say that love is here for all

Say that love is here for all
Say that love is here for all
Say that love is here for all
Say that love is here for all

Lower your guns even if love has turned to spite
We may find the enemy waiting inside
Light the candle to see what you may be

12. Love Train

What did you see, girl, on the love train
I said what did you see, girl, on the love train
I said I gotta get back, girl, on the love train
I said I gotta get back, girl, on the love train

I saw different faces in different places
I gotta get back, girl, on the love train
I saw different faces in different places
I gotta get back, girl, on the love train

What did you see, girl, on the love train
She had golden lockets with no name
Telling me all things are the same
I said I gotta get back, girl, on the love train

I saw different faces in different places
I gotta get back, girl, on the love train

I saw different faces in different places
I gotta get back, girl, on the love train

I saw different faces in different places
I gotta get back, girl, on the love train

Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, oh

13. Vagabond

Oh girl, I don’t know all the reasons why
I found the answer looking in your eye
I go out walking all day long
Take away this lonely man, soon he will be gone

‘Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free
Yes I can see you, girl, can you see me

You don’t need to know what I do all day
It’s as much as I know, watch it waste away

‘Cause I’ll tell you everything about living free
Yes I can see you, girl, can you see me

Go and see the sorcerer look into the ball
You may find the answer written on the wall
The left one was a dancer
Can you see the answer, oh

Put her on a mansion on top of the hill
Please don’t make her do the things against her will
I found something special, I don’t know why
Looking into her pretty little eye

‘Cause I’ll tell you everything about being free
