Man's Road
(America)
Horizon rising up to meet the purple dawn
Dust demon, screaming, bring an eagle to lead me on
For in my heart I carry such a heavy load
Here I am, on Man's road
Walking Man's road...
I'm hungry, weary, but I cannot lay me down
The rain comes, dreary, but there's no shelter I have found
It will be a long time till I find my abode
Here I am, on Man's road
Walking Man's road...
Moon rising, disguising lonely streets in gay displays
The stars fade, the nightshade, closing makes the world afraid
It waits in silence for the sky to explode
Here I am on Man's road
Walking Man's road...
Where do Unicorns go?
(America)
In the sea, the fish have learned to fly
On a moonlit night, on wings of silver
As the enchanted stars sail serenely by
Do they know?
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea,
and never seen again...
Go, go and ask the magpie,"Where do unicorns go?"
In the trees, the birds have learned to speak
Many coloured, they keep their secrets
In a parade of clouds
Playing hide and seek,
Do they know?
Where do unicorns go?
Where winged horses fly?
Narwhals lost at sea,
and never seen again.
Does myth and mystery lie?
Where the unicorns go?
Now that I'm a Woman
America
(Amalthea)
Once, I can't remember
I was, long ago, someone strange.
I was innocent and wise,
And full of pain.
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is strange.
Once, when I was searching
Somewhere out of reach,
Far away,
In a place I could not find
Nor heart obey.
Now that I'm a woman
Everything is changed.
Everything is changed.
Everything has changed.
That's all I've got to Say
America
(Lir)
I've had time to write a book
About the way you act and look,
But I haven't got a paragraph.
Words are always getting in my way.
Anyway, I love you.
That's all I have to tell you.
That's all I've got to say.
And now, I'd like to make a speech
About the love that touches each,
But stumbling, I would make you laugh.
I feel as though my tongue were made of clay.
Anyway, I love you.
That's all I have to tell you.
I'm not a man of poetry.
Music isn't one with me.
It runs from me.
It runs from me.
(Alternating Lir and Amalthea)
And I tried to write a symphony / Once when I was searching
But I lost the melody / Somewhere out of reach
Alas I only finished half / Far away
And finish I suppose I never may / In a place I could not find
Anyway, I love you / Nor heart obey
That's all I have to tell you / Now that I'm a woman
That's all I've got to say / Now I know the way
That's all I've got to say / Now I know the way
(Together)
That's all I've got to say
