Summer Rain

Treasure (US Celtic Treasure)

1. Let Me Lie
Let me lie on grasses green
on my mother earth I lean
Let me lie on grasses green
on my mother earth I lean
Under burning sun
through my veins she runs

Let me breathe the forest air
it's the life force that we all share
feel my burning tears
heal me through as I lie here with you
heal me through
Let me sleep and keep me close
Heal me through
as I lie here with you
heal me through
Let me sleep and keep me close

Let me lie on grasses green
on my mother earth I lean
Under the burning sun
through my veins she runs
Heal me through as I lie here with you
heal me through
Let me sleep and keep me close
Heal me through as I lie here with you
heal me through
Let me sleep and keep me close

Under burning sun
through my veins she runs
her and I are one.

2. Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there
he once was a true love of mine.

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without no seam nor needlework
then he'll be a true love of mine.

Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Between saltwater and the sea-strand
then he'll be a true love of mine.

Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
he once was a true love of mine.

3. Shenandoah
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away I'm bound to go
Cross the wide Missouri

Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away, you rolling river
Tis seven long years since last I saw you
Away I'm bound to go
Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river.
Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away I'm bound to go
Cross the wide Missouri.

4. Summer Fly
In another younger day I could dream the time away
In the universe inside my room
And the world was really mine from June to September
And if it wasn't really so I was lucky not to know
And I was lucky not to wonder why
'cause summertime is all that I remember

A summer fly was buzzing every night when I was young
in the gentle world my childlike senses knew
and the world was just my cousin
and the wind was just the tongue
In the voice my lonely moments listened to

And I look at me today, all the dreams have gone away
and I'm where I never thought I'd be
Seeing things I never thought I'd see happen to me
And I lie awake at night till the darkness goes to light
hearing voices calling out my name
droning over and again the same message to me

Crying who's your partner, who's your darling, who's your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
It don't matter, you just make her lonely anyhow
Don't know why you even try to win

5. Whispering Hope
Soft as the voice of an angel,
breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
whispers her comforting word
Wait, till the darkness is over,
Wait, till the tempest is done,
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
after the shower is gone.

Whispering hope, whispering hope
Oh how welcome, welcome thy voice,
Making my heart
in its sorrow rejoice.

Whispering hope, whispering hope
Oh, how welcome, welcome thy voice,
Making my heart
In its sorrow rejoice.

6. Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
from glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
tis you, tis you, must go and I must bide.

But come ye back, when summer's in the meadow
or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here, in sunshine or in shadow
oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come when all the flowers are dying
and I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
and kneel and say an Ave there for me.

But I will hear, though soft you tread above me
and all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
if you're not here to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace, until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace, until you come to me.

7.  Summer Rain
Days of burning sun
Watch the colours run
into pools that catch the eye
Disappear as you pass by

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
and I know that I'll see you again
and I know that I'll see you again

Hear my prayer, answer my call
Breathe life into my soul
I am waiting for you to show
Come and hold me so

You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
and I know that I'll see you again
and I know that I'll see you again

Dreams of a day with you
fading away
You're my summer rain
you're my summer rain
and I know, and I know, and I know that I'll see you again
and I know, and I know, and I know that I'll see you again

Summer rain
you're my summer rain
and I know, and I know, and I know that I'll see you again
and I know, and I know, and I know that I'll see you again
Oh, oh, oh
Summer rain
Oh, oh, oh
Summer rain

8. The Last Rose of Summer (duet with Meav)
Tis the last rose of summer
left blooming all alone
All her lovely companions
are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred
nor rosebud is nigh
to reflect back her blushes
and give sigh for sigh

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one
to pine on the stem
since the lovely are sleeping
go sleep thou with them
thus kindly I scatter
thy leaves o'er the bed
where thy maids of the garden
lie scentless and dead

So soon may I follow
when friendships decay
and from love's shining circle
the gems drop away
When true hearts lie withered
and fond ones are flow'n
Oh, who would inhabit
this bleak world alone?

9. One Fine Day
One fine day you'll find me
a thread of smoke arising
on the sea in the far horizon
and then the ship appearing

Then the trim white vessel
glides into the harbour
thunders forth a cannon
See you? now he is coming

I do not go to meet him
I stay upon the brow of the hill
I wait there, and wait for a long time

From out the crowded city there is coming
a man that is climbing the hill

Chi sarà? chi sarà?
E come sarà giunto
Che dirà? che dirà?

He will call Butterfly from the distance
I, without answering
hold myself concealed
a bit to tease him

One fine day you'll find me
a thread of smoke arising
on the sea in the far horizon
and then the ship appearing

This will all come to pass as I tell you
banish your idle fears
for he will return
I know . . . .
I know he will return.

10. Sonny
Sonny lives on a farm
in a wide open space
Take off your shoes,
stay out of the race
Lay down your head
on a soft riverbed
Sonny always remembers
the words Momma said

"Sonny don't go away
I'm here all alone
Your daddy's a sailor,
never comes home
Nights are so lone
silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
and not all that strong."

Many years have rolled on
Sonny's old and alone
his daddy the sailor
never came home
Sometimes he wonders
what his life might have been
still, from the grave, Momma's voice haunts his dreams

"Sonny, don't go away
I'm here all alone
your daddy's a sailor
never comes home
Nights are so lone
silence goes on
I'm feeling so tired
and not all that strong

Sonny, don't go away . . ."

11. The Water Is Wide
The water is wide
I cannot get over
and neither have
I wings to fly
Give me a boat
that'll carry two
and both shall row
my love and I

When love is planted,
there it grows
it grows and blossoms like a rose
it has a sweet
and pleasant smell
no flower on earth
can it excel

The ship there is
and she sails the sea
she's loaded deep
as deep can be
But not so deep
as the love I'm in
I know not if
I sing or swim

Oh, love is gentle,
love is kind
the sweetest flower
when first is new
but love grows old
and waxes cold
and fades away
like morning dew

12. Melancholy Interlude
Cold nights of loneliness
dark nights of emptiness
I stood there waiting
but the summer came too late

Seasons unfold
stories lie untold
and still my heart is waiting
Summer came too late

13. Abide With Me
Abide with me;
fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens;
Lord with me, abide.
When other helpers fail
and comforts flee,
help of the helpless,
oh, abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim
its glories pass away,
change and decay
in all around I see.
Oh, Thou who changest not,
abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death, oh Lord,
abide with me.

In life, in death, oh Lord,
abide with me.

Odyssey

1. Prayer
Let your arms enfold us
through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
till we see the light

Hush . . . lay down your troubled mind
the day has vanished and left us behind
and the wind, whispering soft lullabies
will soothe . . . so close your weary eyes

Let your arms enfold us
through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
till we see the light

Sleep . . . angels will watch over you
and soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing our soul?
So dream . . . while secrets of darkness unfold

[ChorusX2]

2. Both Sides Now
Rows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
but clouds got in the way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
from up and down, and still somehow
it's cloud illusions
I recall, I really don't know clouds
at all.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels
the dizzy dancing way you feel
as every fairytale comes real
I looked at love that way

Now it's just another show
you leave them laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know
don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions
I recall, I really don't know love
at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud
to say "I love you" right out loud
dreams and schemes, and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they same I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
in living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
from win and lose, and still somehow
it's life's illusions
I recall, I really don't know life
at all.

3. Never Saw Blue
Today we took a walk up the street
we picked a flower, climbed a hill above the lake
and secret thougths were said aloud
we watched the faces in the clouds
until the clouds were blown away

Were we ever somewhere else?
You know it's hard to say

I never saw blue like that before
across the sky
around the world
You've given me all you have, and more
and no one else has ever shown me how
to see the world the way I see it now
oh I
I never saw blue like that.

I can't believe a month ago I was alone
I didn't know you, I'd never seen you
or heard your name
and even now, I'm so amazed, it's like a dream
it's like a rainbow, it's like the rain.

Somethings are the way they are
and words just can't explain

I never saw blue like that before
across the sky
around the world
You've given me all you have, and more
and no one else has ever shown me how
to see the world the way I see it now
oh I
I never saw blue like that before.

It feels like now, it feels like always
and it feels like coming home

[Chorus]

Oh oh . . . oh I
I never saw blue like that before.

4. Dell' Amore Non Si Sa
Speak to my heart, tell that you know
The pain of my longing, it seems to whirl
Speak, oh my star,
Tell me if he will come
August night full of desire
Search for my love I hold this fire
Wanting an angel to smile walking by my way

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To explain it
But you, my starbright friend
Please tell me if he will stay

Dell'amore non si sa
quando viene o se ne va
dell'amore non si sa
quando sarà
da dove arriverà

My brother star straight from my dream
speak to me until morning is dawning
Tell me it's true
[This line uncertain]

Oh, sometimes it seems so hard
To attain this
But you are who tell me
All things, only the truth

Dell'amore non si sa
quando viene o se ne va
dell'amore non si sa
ma quando amore arriverà
tutto intorno cambierà
nella notte brillerà

Tutto cambierà
Tutto rivivrà con te

5. What You Never Know
What you never know won't hurt you
what you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
what you never know won't say goodbye.

What you never know won't hurt you
what you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
what you never know won't make you cry.

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
My heart is torn in two
I'm falling for you

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know unless . . . you try

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
My heart is torn in two
I'm falling for you

I'm falling . . .

What you never know won't hurt you
what you never know won't say goodbye

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
My heart is torn in two
I'm falling for you

6. May it Be
May it be an evening star
shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
oh, how far you are from home.

Mornie utulie
believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
a promise lives within you now.

May it be the shadow's call
will fly away
May it be your journey on
to light the day
When the night is overcome,
you may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie
believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
a promise lives within you now.
A promise lives within you now.

7. Quanta Qualia
Anima mea (my soul)
Mane! (Wait!)
Quanta Qualia (how great and how wonderful)
Conventus gaudia (the joys of the meeting)
Erunt. (will be)

8. You Are Water
When I'm lost in a tunnel
of shadows and fear
With no light, only night
and I listen for a kind word
but nobody's here,
oh so blue . . . oh but you

You are the one voice
that gives me my own voice
oh, don't you know
You are water
on a hot summer's day
for a thirsty daughter
who's finding her way
You are water
I found my oasis
I'm drinking from the fountain of dreams
You are water

You hear the melody of my song
you stop time, heal my mind
You show me struggle can make you so strong
plant the seed, let it sleep

You are the one voice
that gives me my own voice
Oh, don't you know
You are water
on a hot summer's day
for a thirsty daughter
who's finding her way
You are water
I've found my oasis
and now I've got my arms wide open
Now i've got my wishes in motion and
I want to thank you
yeah, I want to thank you
Every step that you take
shows me the way

You are water
on a hot summer's day
for a thirsty daughter
who's finding her way
You are water
I've found my oasis
and now I've got my wishes in motion
You are water

9. She Moved Through the Fair
My young love said to me,
my mother won't mind
and my father won't slight you
for your lack of kind

She stepped away from me
and she moved through the fair
and fondly I watched her
move here and move there

And then she went onwards
Just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening
moves over the lake

Last night she came to me
My dead love came in
So softly she came
that her feet made no din

And she laid her hand on me
and this she did say:
It will not be long now.
And she moved through the fair.

10. My Heart Belongs to You
Through the window of my soul
all the secrets that I hold
will be yours to share for
always, always.

Like a whisper in the wind
the gentle breeze touches my skin
and I know you're with me for
always, always.

I can feel it in the air,
the fire that we share
can only come from deep within.
It's a light that burns so bright,
it guides you through the night
and leads you to me
so find your way back and

Hold me
touch me
let the love come rushing through me
I'm yours with every breath I take
forever and ever
Hold on
to love
cast it down, that's what we're made of
Never let go, for my heart's sake
'cause my heart belongs to you.

I lie awake to hear you breathe
only you can fill the need
that builds and burns so deep
inside me, inside me.

As the moon lights up the sky
there's a thousand reasons why
my heart will only beat for you
You're the reason that I live
so now all I've got to give
I give it to you
Just don't fight the feeling

[Chorus]

Don't give up, but just give in
I will always be here waiting for you
Waiting for you
Love will see us through

Hold me
touch me
let the love come rushing through me
I'm yours with every breath I take
forever and ever
Hold on
to love
cast it down, that's what we're made of
Never let go, for my heart's sake!
'cause my heart belongs to you

My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to you
My heart belongs to you . . .
you.

11. Ave Maria

(Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria . . . etc)

12. I Say Grace

You know sometimes I feel like I
I gave it my hardest try
Is anything left? I lost it on the last roller-coaster ride

(I say grace)

When I get cold 
(I say grace)
This is what I say
When my baby asks; 'How was your day?'
I say grace

Took a rock from the garden I made here
In the backyard with a little love and some care
I come here when the world gets too crazy
I come here when I'm just feeling sad

We all need a place we can go where
You pick your dreams out of thin air
I work in this garden of faith every single day

I say grace for the blue painted sky
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I've traveled down
I say grace for the love that I have found

Used to want to be at the top of the ladder
Even when you leap, you just come back down
When time gets a hold of my horses
I think I'll just laugh and go for the ride

Now while I look out my window
Where I planted my heart and my soul
It does a girl a world of good
To watch her garden grow

I say grace for the blue painted sky
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I've traveled down
I say grace

I've been through the hardest of seasons
Holding my heart in my hand
But every kind of thought has a reason
Now I understand

When the roof caves in – lets the sunshine in
Life is beautiful – now at the end of the day

I say grace for the blue painted sky
I say grace for my lucky stars that shine
When I look back on the road that I've traveled down
I say grace

I say grace
I say grace

Pure

[English translation:]

Stormy are the waters
Of restless Waiapu
If you cross them, girl
They will be calmed

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

I write you my letter
I send you my ring
So your people can see
How troubled I am

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

Oh girl
Come back to me
I could die
Of love for you

I could die
Of love (for you).

2. Never Say Goodbye
If I could take this moment forever
turn the pages of my mind
to another place and time
We would never say goodbye.

If I could find the words, I would speak them
then I wouldn't be tongue-tied
when I looked into your eyes
We would never say goodbye.

If I could stop the moon ever rising
day would not become the night
wouldn't feel this cold inside
and we'd never say goodbye.

I wish that my dreams were frozen
then our hearts would not be broken
when we let each other go.

If I could steal this moment forever
paint the picture-perfect smile
so our story stayed alive
we would never say goodbye.

3. Who Painted the Moon Black?
Did you see the shining moon
turned into a black balloon
just as you walked away from me

Did you see how hard I've tried
not to show the pain inside
just as you walked away from me

Who painted the moon black?
Just when you passed your love back
Who painted the moon black?
Oh won't you, won't you come back?

It must have been the darkest night
not even a star in sight
just as you walked away from me now

[ChorusX2]

Who painted the moon . . .

Did you see the shiny moon
turned into a black balloon
just as you walked away from me

[ChorusX2]

Who painted the moon...

4.  River of Dreams
River of dreams, take me with you tonight
Lying in your arms, we'll drift to
islands of water that gleam
and glow under the stars
as we glide through the dark
to the heart of the night

River of dreams, gently hold me again
I remember all you told me
All of the secrets you whispered
as we crept away from the daylight
that melted back into the night

Was I awake?  or did I dream
the kiss of waves
The silver slipstream
that tumbles at it turns again towards the sea

River of dreams, softly flowing away
let me follow where you're going
and make me a part of you
deep in the heart of you
let my reflection be clear
in the water of life
that tumbles as it turns again towards the night.

5. The Beat of Your Heart
Carry me away from this dark and lonely room
Light me in your arms, all I want to know is you
chase away the darkness with everything you are
I will find my strength in the beat of your heart

Picturebook of memories, how we used to be
some people spend a lifetime waiting for their dreams
but I won't find the answers by looking at the stars
I can find my strength in the beat of your heart

Time held in our hands
will change into years gone by
If I can hold onto you
I'll leave all my fears behind

Holding on, we drift like two flowers on the sea
riding on the waves, letting go of what we'll be
but I won't find the answers by staring at the stars
I found all my dreams in the beat of your heart.

I found all my dreams in the beat, the beat of your heart.

6. Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
was blind, but now I see.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear!
the hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
we have already come
Twas grace that brought us safe thus far
and grace will lead us home.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we've first begun.
than when we've first begun.

7. Benedictus
Benedictus qui venit nomine Domini
Hosanna in excelsis

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the highest

8.  Hine E Hine (Maiden, O Maiden)
E tangi ana Koe

There is love for you
Mother's arms their strength will keep

See where there comes the morn
Hine, E Hine!
Long rays of early dawn
Hine, E Hine!
Shining to Reinga far
Where thy noble grandsires are
Nestle Aroha!
Hine, E Hine!

9. Across the Universe of Time
When the sea falls from the shore
as the light sinks low, will I see you anymore?
As the rain falls from the sky
can I bring you back, from a distant lullaby?

Show me your vision, the story begun.
Two lights are rising and burning as one.

In the deep blue of the night
shine the millions of stars and my spirit burning bright
Spinning on, into the sun
Flying higher, now my journey's begun

And the cold, cold wind
it blows me away
the feeling all over is a black, black day
But I know that I'll see you again
and I know that you're near me.

There's a star calling my name
its echo is true, while its song is not hte same
Take my hand and lead me away
bring me back to you, in your arms I'm going to stay

Show me your vision, the story begun
Two lights are rising and burning as one

All those years drifting in space
I have known you well, yet I've never seen your face
You turn around, looking at me
Laughter in your eyes and now I can see

And the cold cold wind
it blows me away
the feeling all over is a black, black day
But I know that I'll see you again
and I know that you're near me.

10. Dark Waltz
We are the lucky ones
we shine like a thousand suns
when all of the color runs together
I'll keep you company
in one glorious harmony
waltzing with destiny forever

Dance me into the night
underneath the moon shining so bright
turning me into the light . . .

Time dancers whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven
sacred geometry
where movement is poetry
visions of you and me forever

Dance me into the night
underneath the moon shining so bright
turning me into the light . . .

Dance me into the night
underneath the moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin, oh
let me wheel, let me spin
let it take me again
turning me into the light . . .

11. In Trutina
In trutina mentis dubia
Fluctuant contraria
Lascivus amor et pudicitia
Sed eligo quod video
Collum iugo prebeo
Ad iugum tamen suave transeo

In the wavering balance of my feelings
Set against each other
Lascivious love and modesty
But I choose what I see
And submit my neck to the yoke;
I yield to the sweet yoke.

12. Heaven
A star shining in a universe far away
my heart knows that we shall meet again some sweet day
And you, you will be the flame that burns in my breast
and oh, I know just by knowing you, I was blessed, yes I was truly blessed

Heaven, heaven, ooh, waiting there for me
Heaven, heaven, ooh, always let it be
Heaven, heaven, ooh, waiting there for me
Heaven, heaven, ooh, always let it be

So why, tell me why the good die young, my old friend
I pray that heaven waits for everyone in the end
and love, love is how we cross that bridge to the light
a star, that is what you are in my darkest night
be always by my side

Heaven, heaven, ooh, waiting there for me
Heaven, heaven, ooh always let it be
A star shining brightly
A star shining brightly
Always let it be

Heaven, heaven, ooh, waiting there for me
Heaven, heaven, ooh, always let it be

13. Wuthering Heights
Out on the wailing, windy moors
we'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper - like my jealousy,
too hot, too greedy.

How could you leave me?
When I needed to possess you
I hated you - I loved you too.

Bad dreams in the night
told me I was going to lose the fight
leave behind my wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights

Heathcliff
It's me, Cathy, I've come home
and I'm so cold
let me in your window
Heathcliff
It's me, Cathy, I've come home
and I'm so cold
let me in your window

Ooh it gets dark, it gets lonely
on the other side from you.
I pine a lot, I find a lot
falls through without you

I'm coming back for
cruel Heathcliff
my one dream
my only master

Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering, wuthering heights

[Chorus]

Ooh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it, let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy

[Chorus]

Heathcliff . . .
