The Dream 05:17
The Dream (Stevenson, Floyd, Eden) when the earth was ripe and the time was right to say love when our worlds were one and the only sun was our love all that ever had been had been wrapped in the dream of our lives watching rainbows cross the sky in the vanishing dream of our lives falling up then, then turning down the days of secret places singing loud, but watching how the age is shown on faces backing into corners emotions become just a blur in the dream of our lives, games of night that were stolen and shared and then forgotten pastor, I’m running! master, you’ll see! soon I’ll be gunning down people like me my mind is behind her their minds have grown cold the dream is of love, they’re feeling too old if you were here now and back with me we’d find the dream that we sought laughing, glowing, living, growing, running in a straight line toward open country

Love is the Answer 
(Stevenson, Eden) I was living in a cell with no mind of my own. I was thinking yeah of a life alone. But no one there was on my side to save me And there seemed to be no end to loneliness. 
In a singular life with no purpose at all. There were faces laughing at every turn. In a downward plunge toward hatred & fear and my body was starting to burn. Oh then came the sun! Oh then came the light! And then came my love! Then came my life! Then came love on silver waves. Then came the cherished velvet dancer. And now I find with all my searching: you know, love is the only answer. So when the sun is cold and the future looks dark, you know, love’s been forgotten. And brother if you can’t believe in yourself, you better find someone who will, yeah. Oh how can I tell you how she makes make me feel free? How can I tell you: Love’s inside of me? And now with love secure in my mind, yeah I can share it with all I meet. Ah but it took your touch to make me see: you know, love is the only answer.

Body Trip 04:18
Body Trip (Campbell, Eden) You play the heart game and you’re ready to lose screened-in porches filling memory banks of pretty Pollyannas and the friends they knew
you tripped over in your world of love Body trip Let’s play the touch game and we’ll make our own rules touching only certain places We’ll travel up & down in line far from the ground but never look at each other’s faces Body trip Don’t break our new rules stay below the mind forgotten hearts and fortunes screaming For if we ever find we’ve touched inside the mind our living might develop meaning Body trip

Lowland Blues (Stevenson, Eden) 
Go down to the lowlands, 
take along just what you know. The grass is greener everywhere,
so where’d you like to go? Knocking at the door. Go down to the shore. Pity be on mankind: all he ever wants is more to be free. Out of sight and out of mind. Fill your cup from all you see. There’s more to what you think you know. There’s more here than just me. Knocking at the door. Go down to the shore. Pity be on mankind: all he ever wants is more to be free Virgin martyr sails with me on my poor ship of fools. Who knows where my name has journeyed searching for the truth? Walking from the sea. Fighting the disease. Pity be on mankind: all he real needs is p

It All Comes Back 
(Campbell, Eden) Someday somebody’s going to question how you say you’d like to feel. Somebody’s going to show you the view of what it real. But it all comes back to you. Nobody can show you the right road 
or how to think. You can lead a horse to where it’s at, but you can never make it drink. Yes it all comes back to you. When you find yourself you’ll realize that there is no other. But if you need a clue you just might find it in your brother. Come on back. Yes it all comes back to you.
