September Song I People know there’s something wrong but they just can’t put their finger on it wandering through the dawns of Sister Time The hills are burning fire everywhere the days go by but we no longer care Falling Falling Somewhere… II Autumn rain the soft despair of the girl who saw hearts everywhere leaves are turning in the Autumn air and still she dreams of a home somewhere Falling Falling Somewhere… III While beauty sleeps the beast has a field day while beauty sleeps the beast takes control and we’re left yearning for a world that’s fair with sunlight dancing in the golden air Falling Falling Somewhere Yes, we’re falling Falling Falling Somewhere Where will we land…

The Woods Are Getting Weirder I Like I told you the woods are getting weirder coyote howls, they be getting louder shut the gates – weirder’s getting closer there’s not much that you can do Strange It’s so strange Strange II I don’t think I can make it any clearer so let’s go take a little wander by the lake, pigeons become dragons tyrannosaurs ride their magic wagons In a glade, a magpie masquerade underground secret creatures’ plans are made just like love and the human race these treacherous paths only lead to one place Strange It’s so strange Strange III Yes indeed, the woods are getting weirder we’re swept along by their ancient songs shadows of trees are marching in the breeze- the woods are weird and the world’s gone wrong! Strange It’s so strange Strange

Distant Hearts Upstate on the highway I’m driving driving through the mountains hoping they are happy hoping they are well I see distant hearts are burning distant hearts are burning watch that light ahead What’s ‘round every corner it’s glowing feel the heart heat, it’s growing spirits in the air spirits in the air I see distant hearts are burning distant hearts are burning watch that light ahead Passing through the fields over top the valleys hoping they are happy hoping they are well I see distant hearts are burning distant hearts are burning watch that light ahead Yes, upstate on the highway I’m driving driving through the mountains watch that light ahead watch that light ahead I see distant hearts are burning forgotten friends are yearning history pages turning old memories churning and distant hearts are burning….
