Young 03:30
Young ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP When we are young We’re falling on our head ‘Cause we can’t restrain The ill-timed wearing of our welcome When we are young We’re falling on our heart In a lover’s bane ‘Cause we are lacking in our wisdom Like the summer dying fast We’re fumbling the hold. . . The hold on who we are When we are young. . . Landing hard in a tragedy With our potential that we don’t see When we are young. . . Living in our head, trying to break free From the grace we show so awfully When we are young We are. . .young

My Animal 04:10
My Animal ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP Something lurks inside Fortune lost, star-crossed Dr. Jekyll's Hyde In my heart, in my pride And I'm wondering who's the master. . . In a strange unknown There are places I fear to go Where a creature roams In the forest of my soul. . . My animal. . . Something moves within Tucked away, in the fray That calls out to my fear. . . "It is me, I am here" Threatening my ever after Threatening my gift of love. . . In a strange unknown There are places I fear to go Where a creature roams In the forest of my soul. . . My animal. . . My animal. . . Like Twiddledee and Twiddledum My love, the show has just begun I don't know what you see in me Hoping your kiss will set me free Our time is here, so are you sure I'm not the Black dog of the moor To mend my heart before I fall Destroy this monster, make it disappear. . . In a strange unknown There are places I fear to go Where a creature roams In the forest of my soul. . . My animal. . . My animal. . .

Way You Live Running ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP Remember when you would kiss the sky? I remember then, watching you fly. . . And on your wings Above all things How I could swing much higher than I did before we met I don't forget It's different now. . . Are you running? What emotion grieves inside? You're running now. . . The way you live running. . . Always gone like something's catching up somehow You would not be swayed from the way we were 'Cause you were not afraid of love. . . Picture time-worn photographs as little postcards of who we are Forever locked in time Don't let age spoil you. . . Climb on my wings and find those things my love can bring Grown stronger than it was from when we met You will forget What's different now. . . Are you running? What emotion grieves inside? You're running now. . . The way you live running. . . Always gone like something's catching up somehow. . . . . .Like the wolf and the wind come to blow your house in . . .Like the yang lost to yin. . . Climb on my wings and find those things my love can bring Grown stronger than it was from when we met You will forget What's different now. . . Are you running?. . .
4.
The Other Side ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP Light the candles brightly one by one Imagine you are shining like the sun Like the sun. . . Don't come undone, you're the sun. . . Illuminate old photographs of me. . . Catch the moments Hold those moments There's no mystery in all your searching. . . Just the hands of time that turn for you to find my love is true When I will run again, away with you. . . Days endure for always 'til they're gone Circumstances never counted on But you are strong You will go on, as you belong to every sunrise I was blessed to see. . . Catch the moments Hold those moments There's no mystery in all your searching. . . Just the hands of time that turn for you to find my love is true When I will run again, away with you. . . I'm waiting for you I'm waiting for you On the other side I'm waiting for you On the other side I will run again, away with you On the other side. . . Catch the moments Hold those moments There's no mystery in all your searching. . . Just the hands of time that turn for you to find my love is true When I will run again, away with you. . . When I will run again, away with you. . .

Divin' Down 04:23
Divin’ Down ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP When the zephyr’s blowin’, you caress the sands And the spring tide’s flowin’ through your hands Here, each moment, little truths of you are found Going under, I am divin’ down I’m divin’ down deep in the ocean Into your sea of emotion Holdin’ the notion that you care Is Davy Jones around here? Is he on your side? . . .No breakwater near to shield my pride But friends keep tellin’ me that luck favors the brave And your signal’s sendin’ me beneath the wave. . . I’m divin’ down deep in the ocean Into your sea of emotion Holdin’ the notion that you care I’m divin’ down deep in the ocean Lookin’ for love and devotion, adrift in your motion Are you there in the good night, romancin’ the moonlight? Up from the depths of your passion, your manner and fashion How I could drown as ever before. . . But I’m divin’ down. . . . . .Holdin’ the notion that you care I’m divin’ down deep in the ocean Lookin’ for love and devotion, adrift in your motion Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?

Only Survivors ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP Lonely isles. . . Am I coming or going from these keys of no defense? I'm stranded here My good ship's disappeared Guessing I'm the only survivor A paradoxical mystery No trace. . . Lost in spacious wilderness and sea Oh, where else could I be? Winsome sounds. . . Fleeting through jet liquid night Rising from the water's edge I could be wrong Is that a Siren's song? Should I fear the only survivor of every sailor's fantasy? Her calls, enchanting as the stars of Pleiades Oh, who else could she. . . Slowly, you appear. . . From the depths. . .in the distance. . . The color of your hair says you're the one You are the moon and sun to me You blind me. . . You blind me. . . She says, "I am the only one" Only survivor "And you are my only one" Only survivor "And we are the only ones" "Now, sow your flames in me Put on these chains you see Oh, who else should I be?" "Only Survivors. . ." Only survivors. . . "I am the only one" Only survivors "I am the one. . ." Only Survivors. . .

Real Magik 04:22
Real Magik ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP He might find her in the meads Or on the Isle of Apples His wounds, She will be healing Enchantress of the king All the magik in her hands. . . All the magik in her hands. . . All the magik in her soul Is trying to find a way to draw his mind To what he needs to know She could show him every sigil And ancient craft Cleanse him under a waning moon. . . All the magik in her hands. . . All the magik in her hands. . . All the magik in her soul Is trying to find a way to draw his mind To what he needs to know Draw his mind to what he needs. . . Somewhere far in unconscious strands Memories of the Summerlands. . . Memories of lead turned to gold. . . Myths and legends to recall The dark must fall. . . Light conquers all. . . All the magik in her hands. . . All the magik in her hands. . . All the magik in her soul Is trying to find a way to draw his mind To what he needs to know Draw his mind To the secret she has known Deep in the mind, the real magik

Annabel In The Moonlight ©Jeff Jewkes / ASCAP Annabel in the moonlight, Caught in the Benguela, In the moonlight. . . From a deepening haze,  Came breaching in, starboard waters Raised high was your tea cup A toast to your poor doomed Dunedin Star Annabel in the moonlight. . . Have your thoughts  Drifted like wandering shoals From the roar of the breakers? Has your cup become filled with  The sands of the shore? In this foreign soil, a foreboding toil To be cast away. . . To be cast away. . . You’ll be waiting. . .  Endless waiting. . . Endless hoping for a light to come. . .
