1	1	I Surrender I opened up the pathway of the heart The flowers died embittered from the start That night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrendered I looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy And tonight the stars are all aligned and I surrender My mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrender Recording angels and the poets of the night Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight Searchlights fill the open skies and I surrender Outrageous cries of love have called me back Derailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracks You tell me I've no need to wonder why I just surrender I stand too close to see the sleight of hand How she found this child inside the frightened man Tonight I'm learning how to fly and I surrender I've travelled all this way for your embrace Enraptured by the recognition on your face Hold me now while my old life dies tonight and I surrender My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender An ancient evening just before the fall The light in your eyes, the meaning of it all Birds fly and fill the summer skies and I surrender She throws the burning books into the sea "Come find the meaning of the word inside of me" It's alright the stars are all aligned and I surrender My mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and I surrender My body turns to ashes in her hands The disappearing world of footprints in the sand Tell me now that this love will never die and I'll surrender My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender	I Surrender	I Surrender Full version from Dead Bees On A Cake
1	2	Krishna Blue She's here in the snowfall At dead of night The mood is of courtship The final fight She's all that I need All that I am The voice of compassion inside the man If you open the gates The madness begins I'll follow you down I'll follow you back in She's here in the lifelines In every curve Suspended in silence Between each word It's all in the way that she moves The grace and the light that will see me through It's coming true She's prising the rope from my hands The fear and the hopes that I held onto It's coming true Colour the river I swim back to you Krishna blue Waist deep in water She starts to sing The voice is familiar And draws me in She's lighting the fires I dowsed by hand Erasing the figure drawn in sand You open the gates The madness begins I follow you down I follow you back in And here in the darkness The boundary gone The flame is alive And burning strong It's all in the way that she moves The grace and the light that will see me through It's coming true Colour the river I swim back to you Krishna blue In the softest belly And the warmest heart In your open hands I lay my head In the never ending I fall apart In the silent forest And the brilliant red And through the stream of words There comes a sound And I listen Child like To her voice Spellbound It's all in the way that she moves The grace and the light that will see me through It's coming true She's prising the rope from my hands The fear and the hopes that I held onto It's coming true Colour the river I swim back to you Krishna blue	Krishna Blue	Krishna Blue From the Dead Bees On A Cake album
1	3	Godman Welcome to Sun State The language of light The energy's impulse The loud, dark, iron The purpose of history The Eurasian Steppes From treshold to treshold Astonishment. You've misunderstood the place where you stand Godman. From different maps Dead bees on a cake You're sweeping the forest Man, it's getting late The milkweed is growing Through cotton grass You borrowed the car But you didn't ask. You've misunderstood the place where you stand Godman. The everything's dark You're wrapped up Born into brightness You've misunderstood the place where you stand	Godman	Godman Single version
1	4	The Shining Of Things Take My word for it This never should have happened What in the world d'ya think Got into me We fire at will And as we watch the pieces shatter We find were closer Than we've ever been She calls my name and I come running I have lost the voice I listened too And in the blindness As my world stops turning Theres a sadness like I never knew But I still see the shining of things As the morning breaks It hardly seems to matter I hear a shallowness In everything I say We've played the night out In all too familiar fashion To wear the heart-ache Through another day She calls my name and I come running I have lost the voice I listened too And there's a stillness now The rain's stopped falling Theres a sadness like I never knew But I see the shining of things	The Shining Of Things
1	5	Wanderlust Help me I feel like I'm weightless Floating right out of your hands And there's only so much I aspire to Taking one day at a time And deliverance has many faces But grace is an aquaintance of mine Tell me how could it have happened You know that we're not the marrying kind. Travel light, don't think twice We're leaving the shadows behind. It's given us, yeah This wonderful wanderlust. It's given us this wonderful wanderlust It's given us this wonderful wanderlust I don't doubt it, I feel it, yeah Wanderlust Wanderlust Help me, this waterboys wasted Falling right out of your sky And there's nothing that could do without you Loving the state that I'm in Between no longer and not yet On the threshold of some bright affair The match was struck and I was fired The embers of a drowning man Tell me why won't I listen Or acknowledge that I don't understand Losing light, a selfish kind And we're out on the road again. It's given us, yeah This wonderful wonderlust. It's given us this wonderful wanderlust It's given us this wonderful wanderlust I don't doubt it, I feel it, yeah Turn the headlights on full I want to take in it all And let it wash over me The bridge looks so high From the ledge that we climbed But we climbed them so that we could be free Give me no dreams of what the future brings I need to know when I have gone too far, oh Repeated lightening strikes Up and down the spine They search us out wherever we go In a world full of lies That tug at the truth I'm taking no sides Now I recognise you. Wanderlust Wanderlust It's given us, given us This wonderful wanderlust Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Wander---lust I don't doubt it No	Wanderlust
