Lyrics from Shepherd Moons

Caribbean Blue

Eurus...
Afer Ventus...
...So the world goes round and round
With all you ever knew-
They say the sky high above
Is Caribbean blue...

...If every man says all he can,
If every man is true,
Do I believe the sky above
Is Caribbean blue?
Boreas...
Zephryus...

...If all you told was turned to gold,
If all you dreamed were new,
Imagine sky high above
In Caribbean blue...
Eurus....
Afer Ventus...
Boreas...
Zephryus...
Africus...

How can I keep from singing?

My life goes on in endless song
Above earth's lamentations,
I hear the real, though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation

Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear its music ringing,
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?

*What though the tempest loudly roars
I hear the truth it liveth
And though the darkness round me close
Songs in the night it giveth

*No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to this rock I'm clinging!
When love is lord o're heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?

When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing?

In prison cell and dungeon vile
Our thoughts to them are winging,
When friends by shame are undefiled
How can I keep from singing?

*This verse is not included in the 1991 US release liner notes of Shepherd Moons. This is as close as I can get to the actual words by listening to the cd.

Angeles

Angels, answer me,
Are you near if rain should fall?
Am I to believe
You will rise to calm the storm?
For so great a treasure, words will never do!
Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you, mine to give...

Here, all too soon the day!
Wish the moon to fall and alter our tomorrow
I should know, heaven has her way
Each one given memories to own

Angeles, all could be
Should you move both earth and sea
Angeles, I could feel
All those dark clouds disappearing...

Even, as I breathe
Comes an angel to their keep
Surely, if this is, promises are mine to give you, mine to give...
Angeles...
Angeles...

Evacuee

Each time on my leaving home
I run back to my mother's arms,
One last hold and then, it's over

Watching me, you know I cry
You wave a kiss to say good-bye,
Feel the sky fall down upon me!

All I am, a child with promises
All I have are
Miles full of promises of home

If only I could stay with you
My train moves on, you're gone from view
Now I must wait until it's over

Days will pass, your words to me,
It seems so long, eternity,
But I must wait until it's over

Marble Halls

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
With vassels and serfs at my side
And of all who assembled within those walls
That I was the hope and the pride
I had riches all too great to count
And a high ancestral name
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me!
You loved me still the same
That you loved me!
You loved me still the same

I dreamt that suitors sought my hand
That nights upon bended knee
And with vows no maiden's heart could withstand
They pleadged their faith to me
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
Came forth me hand to claim
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
That you loved me still the same
That you loved me!
You loved me still the same
That you loved me!
You loved me still the same
