1. Rising from the Night [3:50]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

Back up. You've got to think how.
Back up. It's safe inside your dream.
Back up. Mind's on the blink now.
Back up. Live in your past again.

Catch up. Time's on the hurry.
Catch up. You woke in time to run.
Catch up. Now don't you worry.
Catch up. But don't you come undone.

Your heart is aching, you don't want to see
You've got you crying again
But in your tear I can see my smile
Come on out of your pain.
You've got to.

Make up. Go tell your lover.
Make up. There's no use feeling blue.
Make up. Smile at each other.
Make up. Release that part of you.

Wake up. Tell all the world to.
Wake up. Time to feed the dove.
Wake up. Do something for you.
Wake up. Communicate your love.

Give some time to know what the dream is.
Live it out and feel how you believe it.
Hear the ocean singing in the moonlight.
It's the hour of rising from the night.

Look up. See what is higher.
Look up. You know you wonder why.
Look up. Find your desire.
Look up. You know you've got to try.

Say what. You feel in your heart.
Say what. You see inside your world.
Say what. You feel that is nearer.
Say that. You know you've got to start.

See the place where we would like to be,
then let's just open the door.
And if we fall there is no use crying,
wel'll just give it some more.

Give some time to know what the dream is.
Live it out and feel how you believe it.
Hear the ocean singing in the moonlight.
It's the hour of rising from the night.

3. Down to the Wire [3:45]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

Down to the fun and sun and screaming TV you're hoppin'
Paying to keep the witty, chic politician talking
Give it a minute to discover it's you you're knocking
Taking your time to go running around in circles
Stopping your mind to go running into hurdles

Down to a plan you've got your long list you keep checking
So many schemes and things you make it too much to reckon
Slow down a minute to discover you hand is sweating
Taking your time to running around in circles
Stopping your mind to go running into hurdles

What's the use of this running away?
Take a chance, you know you'd rather play
Down inside you've got something to say
It's not so long untile you meet your end
If you don't set it straight they'll do it again
And if you do we can all only win

Down to the wire tracking each block of time you're buying
Getting away is only something that you keep tring
Step back a minute to discover your soul is crying
Taking your time to go running around in circles
Stopping your mind to go crashing into hurdles

What's the use of this running away?
Take a chance, you know you'd rather play
Down inside you've got something to say
It's not so long untile you meet your end
If you don't set it straight they'll do it again
And if you do we can all only win

4. It May Be Too Soon [3:02]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

My eyes on the fire I drift inside you
Filled with the sky
Stilled by a vivid desire
My heart all aflame I search beside
Calmed by the rain
Drawn to the life of your way

Can't deny this passion inside us
Can't explain the path of the rain
Can't return to the life that's behind us
But I know we can find just a little piece of mind

My thoughts in a dream I look behind me
Dazed with a smile
Made of the life of I have now
My heart much the same I wait outside you
Glad for today
That I know it'll all be ok

Can't deny this passion inside us
Can't explain the path of the rain
Can't return to the life that's behind us
But I know we can find just a little piece of mind

5. Lady [4:17]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

The lady's in love again
Rainbows and laughter
Down by the ocean breeze it swept her all away
Soft winds and quiet tides flowed in to find her
And like the sun she flees at dawn across the sea

Wait on the shore
The wave will rush again to kiss you
Wait for the moon to rise above the night
Awake again
The sky is gently whispering morning
And find your dreams among the light

Lady in love again
Stars shine beside you
Don't know which way to go
You're blinded by the sight
What now, you're growing old
Can't find your mind again
What love awaits your heart, your soul
You'll never know

Wait on the shore
The wave will rush again to kiss you
Wait for the moon to rise above the night
Awake again
The sky is gently whispering morning
And find your dreams among the light

6. Chains [4:20]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

Within this moment abides with such mystery
The art of feeling alive
Uncomprehending just all that there is to be
I take one breath and arrive
It's in a thoughtless way the mind's free to wonder
Just as some touch we say provides like no other

In my own time I betake to some destiny
And never knowing the way
I compromise in the light of what all I see
Night is the starry dream of daybreak calling out to say

Chains upon the way of nature
Will never serve to tame her child, her child
Blame can fray the wings of rapture
It never serves to capture a smile

Within this moment there lies in the human sea
A vast and opening tide
I contemplate just what pain and joy means to be
knowing that life's embrace will show me all of ecstacy

Chains upon the way of nature
Will never serve to tame her child, her child
Blame can fray the wings of rapture
It never serves to capture a smile

7. Love's Splendor [4:55]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

He catches her smile
And she cradels his love
They flow like soft silver doves on a whisper
She looks to his eyes and he sees all her soul
And there these two hearts behold all love's treasures
And in the light of their dream in a world that can
seem so ussunder it shadows our way
There's shines some room in us all for towering joy to befall
This is love's splendor
Let it find us today

They fly winged with fire
And their dance has begun
The dance of two lives as one -- sweet surrender
Sail, bound with this prayer --
That you know to laught in the sun
if the way for a time seems undone -- please remember
'Cause in the light of your dream in a world that can
seems so ussunder it shawdows our way
There's shines some room in us all for towering joy to befall
This is love's splendor
Let it find us today

We'll never know why
Beyond words, beyond reason,
it's just love's secret season come to find you
And in the light of your dream in a world that can
seem so ussunder it shadows our way
There shines some room in us all for towering joy to befall
This is love's splendor
Let it find us today

This is love's splendor
Let it find us today

8. The Price [4:06]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

Just in time to feel the season calm the flame
I guess it took us to just stop believing
And put away the magic of our hearts again

But you should know I've always loved the friend I made
The sudden tumbling of your laughter
And how your touch would ease me like a lullaby

You should know how deep your love still lives in me
And how a golden soul shown in your arms
You should know how deep I loved to let you be
To find the prince that I once had for my own

I know someday you'll find your treasures there inside
The magic softness of your armour
Will show like silver lightening in your open eyes

And then somehow you'll see the friend you had in me
And all was there that you had wanted
Just like the sun's parade behind clouded rain

And now you know how deep your love still live in me
And how a golden soul shown in your arms
And now you know how deep I loved to let you be
To find the prince that I once had for my own

Who shines beyond the darkness like the sun

9. The Way I Love You [4:09]

Music and Lyrics by Marguerite Conti
© 1990

Waited for so long to see your smile
Worlds apart we missed some touching
Yeah, it's been awhile, but Honey
Time will never change the way I love you
Oh don't you know Sweet Darliin'
Time will never change the way I love you

Now that you're near please always know Baby
In your arms and in your lovin'
I've found my whole world, and Honey
Time will never change the way I love you
Oh don't you know Sweet Darlin'
Time will never change the way I love
They way I love you

Well I know you think that you lost your feeling
But don't you think about it Babe
'Cause it really ain't worth seeing
I know you know love that the
river keeps flow on flowing free

So come and take my hand
I'll lay my head right on down beside you
I'll just watch your eyes
You can hold on to me tight if you need to
We'll just watch the sun pass
And through the night I'll hold you near

And time will never change the way I love you
Oh don't you know Sweet Darlin'
Time will never change the way I love you
Oh come and lay beside me
Time will never change the way I love your
