De-plumed

The Choir De-plumed Lyrics
1.Dreams


2.15 Doors


3.Black Cloud

Suspended from the Heavens
Sheltered by Your hand
Riding on a black cloud
I tremble for my brothers
With houses in the sand
Riding on a black cloud
The thunder makes me shiver
But You give peace of mind
While some are deaf to winter
Or blinded by red wine

Riding on a black cloud...

I would not be found laughing
At tales of love and death
Riding on a black cloud
Or fatal inclinations
To savor mortal breath
Riding on a black cloud
For some are tales of sorrow
And some of hope and fear
Dear God have eyes of mercy
Your spirit I revere

Riding on a black cloud...


4.Clouds

The blood remains as red
That colors our spirits white
The blood remains as warm
That paints black skies with fire

The Word remains as high
That commands the snake to crawl
The promise ever true
That shatters the venom vile

But clouds are round about You
Clouds are round about You
Clouds are round about You
And shadows veil Your eyes

The love remains as pure
That poisoned seas will ne'er dilute
The love remains aflame
That many waters can not quench

But clouds are round about You
Clouds are round about You
Clouds are round about You
And shadows veil Your eyes

The Ghost is ever bruised
Who defends me when I fall
The Ghost is ever sure
Who holds tight for precious life

The blood remains as rich
That poor sinners drink like wine
The blood remains as warm
That paints black skies with fire

But clouds are round about You
Clouds are round about You
Clouds are round about You
And shadows veil Your eyes


5.To Bid Farewell

Away we go again
Too early in the morning
Just one more thought or three
Before I say goodbye
Insurance policies
Are in the second drawer, love
Now, listen close to one last

Sad sigh
For the words I never would say
If I were to bid farewell my love today
A glad sigh
For the promise of a new day
If I were to bid farewell and fly away

I've sung a thousand songs
Give or take four hundred
Tried to ride the clouds
I know you came along
I feel some turbulence now
And if this were farewell, friend
Would you hear one final

Sad song
For the songs I never would sing
If I were to bid farewell my friend today
A glad song
As the bells beyond the night ring

And though I walked beneath the Moon
The sun was in my eyes
So this is not a sorry tune
But Heaven help me

A sad sigh
For the words I never would say
If I were to bid farewell the world today
A glad sigh
For the promise of a new day
If I were to bid farewell and fly away
A sad sigh
For the songs I never could sing
If I were to bid farewell to you today
A glad song
As the bells beyond the night ring
If I were to bid farewell and fade away
If I were to bid farewell and fade away
If I were to bid farewell and fade away


6.A Sentimental Song

Children tremble
Flowers fade so sadly
Love is strange to understand
Winter winds blow
Does the truth sting badly?
Let your tears fall into my hands
Let your tears fall into my hands

Listen closely
And I will sing for you
A sentimental song
And you will know just how I feel
Listen closely
I will sing for you
A sentimental song

Hide with me tonight
Love endures the weather
Let the rain make everything new
In the morning
We will dance together
Let my song fall down around you
Let my song fall down around you

Listen closely
And I will sing for you
A sentimental song
And you will know just how I feel
Listen closely
I will sing for you
A sentimental song
And you will know my love is real

Listen closely
And I will sing for you
A sentimental song
And you will know my heart is true

Listen closely
I will sing for you
A sentimental song
And you will know how I love you


7.Love Your Mind

And I don't see why
You're over there and I
I can't understand the words
You're saying to me
Slide a little bit closer
Now, show me the way you feel
About the cloud formations

Baby I love your mind
I love your mind
Baby I love your mind
And I want your touch

And if I pull over
So you can have a turn
Will you take us both into
Oblivion?
Do you really think the sun
Is gonna melt us, everyone
Do you blame the moon for
Hypertension?

I love your mind
I love your mind
Baby I love your mind
And I want your touch
Baby I love your mind
I love your mind
Baby I love your mind
And I need your kiss

And if I come closer
Honey hold on tight to the wheel
When you feel like
Driving us into a ditch

Baby I love your mind
Baby I love your mind
Honey I love your mind
And I want your touch
Baby I love your mind
I love your mind
Baby I love your mind
And I need your kiss
And I want your touch
And I love your mind


8.Spring

Hey, everybody out
Let's play outside
Ooh, that dreaded ear-buzzing
Yeah, it's poison time
We never saw the world more green
Nor the sky so clear
Spring is finally here

Love is alive in you
Love is alive in you
Believe in your own reflection
See it in my eyes
Love is alive in you
Don't say it isn't true
Believe in the resurrection
See it in my eyes

Follow any line
On your face
Oh, identify the pain
Yeah, now feel it fading
I think I know you better now
Than a season ago
Well enough to know

Love is alive in you
Love is alive in you
Believe in your own reflection
See it in my eyes
Love is alive in you
Don't say it isn't true
Believe in the resurrection
See it in my eyes

I know you so much better now
Than I did at the start
Find it in your heart

Love is alive in you
Love is alive in you
Believe in your own reflection
See it in my eyes
Love is alive in you
Don't say it isn't true
Believe in the resurrection
See it in my eyes


9.Leprechaun

You know I really do dig your style
It's true
So I sincerely hope you will appreciate mine too
And it appeals to me how love is a mystery

Honey, turn the porch light on
High steppin' across your lawn
If you're thinkin' it's a leprechaun
Well, it's only me living free tonight

I never wish to alienate you by seeming obscene
For love of life and chlorophyll
My favorite light is green
And now I hope you're diggin' this way I dance a jig

Honey, turn the porch light on
High steppin' across your lawn
If you're thinking it's a leprechaun
Well it's only me livin' free tonight
Honey turn the porch light on
Honey turn the porch light on
If you're thinking it's a leprechaun
Thinking it's a leprechaun
Well, it's only me


10.Hey Gene

Lyricist:Daugherty Derri, Hindalong Steve J, Michaels Dan

I suppose you're doing all right now
Making beautiful music on a white cloud
The Father, Son and a holy host of angels
Surely sent up three cheers
Even as your mortal friends shed a few tears
We miss you down here

Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we laugh when we think of Eugene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we cry when we think of you, Gene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we love you anyway

I suppose you've found some
Peculiar creatures to get to know
You always were a curious kind soul
Sad you had to go so soon

Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we laugh when we think of Eugene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we cry when we think of you, Gene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we love you anyway
Hey Gene, flap your wing

Flap your wings

Now I feel the dust and gravel under my feet
I suppose you're walking down golden streets
Everybody always forgave you, a child of mystery
And I remember you were merciful to me

Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we laugh when we think of Eugene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we cry when we think of you, Gene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we love, give Jesus a kiss for us

Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we laugh when we think of Eugene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we cry when we think of you, Gene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah, we love you anyway
Hey Gene, hey Gene, flap your wings, flap your wings

I suppose you're playing a harp now


11.Enough To Love

If I could touch with my fumbling hands your scars
If I could know in my rebel mind your heart
If I could see with my lusting eyes your face
If I could taste on my withered tongue sweet grace

Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Enough to die
Enough to love

If I could hear with two muffled ears your voice
If could find in my troubled life true joy
If I could feel with numb fingers your spirit
If I could drink for my barren soul your tears

Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Enough to die
Enough to die
Enough to love

If I could touch with my trembling hands your scars

Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Enough to die
Enough to live
Enough to love
