Now I'm Off 04:54
lyrics

Now I’m Off All that I want is to be that I am The sea and sand are laid Live in the morning dew, Melt in the tide, Where heart and mind are made The pleasant dream is still a dream of its kind It looks behind to save And all the struggle between man and his mind Are of the same embrace What it costs in the game of this Gain and loss, And striving Now I’m off to the end of this Self so strong… But dying When all reaching is gone Night turns into dawn I could awake now To the muse of this song Who is left but the soul? The dry desert wind in me blows I must make this journey – To finally come home What it costs in the game of this Gain and loss, And striving Now I’m off to the end of this Self so strong… But dying Copyright 2010 David G. Tate

Fourth of July 05:59

Fourth of July Fourth of July Spinning my wheels Catching my eye Let it come from beneath the pain I never knew you would show me that But in the moment, sung by the night I never walked across a thinner bridge Without the aid of my eyes And without the fear of falling Cause I fell for you And I would fall again I’ll let you go and be at peace with myself Cause it’s all that I can do about it baby When we were dancing in the heat of the night You showed me something beautiful I won’t forget So let it flow in you, walk with you Break new ground there’s fire in you still We’ve got a chance to become more than ourselves But I’m putting it in your hands now child I was a pauper in my mind And then I looked Walking you home You asked what I saw in you It’s more than I know I just went where the river moves I never knew you were soft like that I didn’t think and you let me in If it’s one night than, let it be that But I let you under my skin And I would fall again I’ll let you go and be at peace with myself Cause it’s all that I can do about it baby When we were dancing in the heat of the night You showed me something beautiful I won’t forget So let it flow in you, walk with you Break new ground there’s fire in you still I’ve got a chance to be at home in my self So I’m putting it in your hands now life I climbed up high upon the ledge… And than I jumped ~ Align ~ Yeah we’re more than this Step back and feel your life embellished Yes I’ll go with this – I’m given all I need to relish In truth my beloved Copyright 2008 David G. Tate (BMI)

Fall to You 05:18
lyrics

Fall to You What will you say when I go Some things will fade, some will grow I took my time, but than time was taking me Had to leave you behind And set myself free I fall to you Courage it takes to the road She told me, “pack up your bags boy and go” If I had to choose between you You know just what I’d do Cause in my mind your arms still hold me And I fall to you I fall to you If there’s a chance we have it now Than there’s a chance we’ll have it then When the winding of my road Brings me close to you again All that I know is there’s a purpose Much larger than the pain I fall to you Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Beyond the Veil 04:58
lyrics

Beyond the Veil One across the sea Beneath the mountain Where my dreams were taking seed The silent vision that we hold The meeting of two roads Windy waters high That I must cross before our stars will be aligned beneath the tapestry we sew finally coming home I’m guided through this fog Divine – unknowing what you are Weaver of the dream Leading the lost into a world of simple being Let dragons fierce be free to roam Together, but alone I’m guided through this fog Divine unfolding of your heart Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Open 03:40
lyrics

Open Come sooth me Sweet dream See through me As the veil lifts I was young and full of hope Warm wind among the treetops… Come one to the call of ages Come one it’s all I need to see Return to the place where you are from Come hear the end beginning Come be the tree within the seed Embrace this ever winding road Come find the part you’re missing Come wake the dreamer from the dream Come free of patterns you would hold From ancient caverns I went In search of what would set me free… But found the answer ~ long ago I’m open now Come – open now Time opens I’m open now Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Service of the Song 05:59
lyrics

Service of the Song Sun falling It leads my dreams The calling to be free I love you Like fire needs air to breath This flame is fading… Ectstecy Eye of the storm and rain around my door It keeps me wet and wanting more Their fury is mighty, bring me back and grace me Unveil your sweet breath ~ A year of silence broken by this note The sigh of reveling in every word we wrote Becomes a part of me As a world I live inside when I’m alone Begin the heart of me To roll in width virgo Has heaven sung so sweet Let go of what I hold And as these boundaries Make way for something new inside To grow I’m the servant of the song All you need is love to let it come through Life and tenderness live on with a will unspoken Rain unbroken ~ Dawn Sun falling It leads my dreams Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Not Alone 05:50
lyrics
buy track
Not Alone Will I ever see you smile with such abandon Will I ever turn and walk into those depths Yes the wind has taken me From this haunting memory To the sweet seducing pull Of love once kept In the dawning of a life Where I have only just arrived In the falling of a fear that I once knew And I had to let you go With the secret of the soul In the turning of what’s real Right back to you “I’ll walk with you I’ll show you the way I’ll cherish you As the night loves the day” I’m not alone And I never ever was Cause we all are one In the stillness All voices cry May a new world now arise Fly from the depths Of your Darkness Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Rainy Days 04:10

Rainy Days Rainy days I left Come shine on me And open up my door There’s a consequence and I knew it With my mind in that dark room You save me Angel Out here Where the wind makes no sound but the calling of your name Fortunes fool Jumping off your cliff again I was young and whole when my world began to shatter The crack undoes the egg Living the mystery Alone in this I travel Let it take me to you Grace Out here Where the wind makes no sound but the calling of your name Fortunes fool Jumping off your cliff again You soothe me And bring me to my senses Smoothly And soften my defenses When I’m lonely child Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

I Look Inside 04:16
lyrics

I Look Inside There are times when I’m sold On the story they’ve told So little light to guide me through grey skies that moan so now I’m reaching out for someone to tell me you’re good as you are So damn tired Of trying to reach for that star So I look inside and I yearn Lost in the way that I thought we would burn But now I’m just sitting here Stranded in a blanket of rain Will it ever be That good again ~ There are times when I hold on So tight to it all And times when I turn my back and run Yeah but all that means nothing When she comes to call And all my masks fall If there is one thing I’ve learned From the journey we’ve made It’s that I can’t put my fate in One other place But to the path I’ve been given And the will to create The man I wanna be So I look inside and I yearn Lost in the way that I thought we would burn But now I’m just sitting here Stranded in a blanket of rain Will it ever be That good again ~ Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Change is Coming 04:53
lyrics

Change is Coming I’ve been so restless With my head in a cloud The hands of angels Carrying me out I’ve walked through firing Of my own self doubt I sought the answer Everywhere without These were old footsteps When the line was crossed And the heavy chains Were lost The last breath is so long One can’t let And hold on Change is coming In my resistance Falling to your knees These hands were made for Greater things than me So don’t be believing In the stories that you tell I am waiting for your glory To open up my sail I was turned and tossed On the open sea Till my grip was lost And eyes made to see The last breath is so long One can’t let And hold on Change is coming The last breath is so long One can’t let so hold on Change is coming Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Music 04:53
lyrics

Music Somewhere beyond the stars We all exist in art And we have come this far But long to go … There in the distance lies Clearness in cloudy eyes We fall, dissolve as night Into gold I love to sing and let it go Music to soothe the soul You can’t loose it It’s part of you You know As we’re turning out The world we live in breaks And crashes down And the one real voice in every soul Gives itself unto the only road This voice is one note of the whole In this Music to soothe the soul You can’t loose it It’s part of you You know Cry out The life is livid now The life is living now Copyright 2008 David G. Tate

Sea Without a Shore 04:21
lyrics

Sea without a Shore How I like to be By the sea Alone And how she comforts me To release what I hold On a sea without a shore Sail on dear friend Carried by the wind Of your heart Storm and storm again Crashes down and in But always follows Calm And the moon is growing dim Pulling at the sands with a soothing hand Hear the message sent And the dream will end That I could know you So we will leave the sad and lonely shell To play in freedom, truly this is home And when the clock Ticks it’s final tock We will know The silence of our soul Copyright 2008 David G. Tate
