Lyrics: J. Haden

Oh, I close my eyes
my own little hide away
in the still night.
Mmm, my black, my blue,
my darkness dies away
I become light
I found some home some
lonesome shelter here
and it feels right
True solitude, my wired up
and wild mind subdued
Fading into
the refuge of you
my solitude
There’s no one home
there’s not a soul in sight
how it fills me
Mmm, the hush the quiet
of alone at night
in the still scene
I don’t need another,
I don’t want a lover
no, this is real peace
True solitude,
my wired up and
wild mind subdued
fading into,
the refuge of you
my solitude
True solitude,
my solitude
Refuge of you,
my solitude

Lyrics: H.Veloso, J. Haden

Make it count, don’t quit now,
take a step to make things happen
no more doubt, see this out,
you might just get what you want
Gonna get me wings of fire
gonna fly me to the moon
set my sights a little higher
gonna be a brighter day
brighter day
Don’t delay, keep your pace,
no one waits for you if you stop now
you can see bigger dreams
getting closer every day
Stars align, sparks ignite,
and the space pushes you forward
to the sky, to beyond,
towering over the place
you once existed
Gonna walk across the ocean
turn the water into wine
make my sins a little hotter
gonna be a brighter day
brighter day
Gonna get me wings of fire
gonna fly me to the moon
set my sights a little higher
gonna be a brighter day
brighter day

Lyrics: H.Veloso, J. Haden

Sentimental things are popping
in my head
sure as stone I wish I had
a drink instead
sentimental things are pumping
in my heart
much to my surprise
I don’t know where to start
Inside, I’m out of my mind 
and outside the time goes on 
Gotta find another way
gotta make it through the day 
gotta trust my heart
and time will tell 
Gotta find a way to breathe
in the hands of destiny 
gotta hold my hope
and time will tell 
Temperamental waves
are washing over me 
sure as stone I wish
I had a drink or three
waiting on the ending
of a fairy tale 
all to see if you and me
will fit or fail 
Inside, I’m out of my mind 
and outside the time goes on 
Gotta find another way
gotta make it through the day 
gotta trust my heart
and time will tell 
Gotta find a way to breathe
in the hands of destiny 
gotta hold my hope
and time will tell 
Wanna make it through okay
gonna trust what fate will say 
gotta give away the grip I held
Gotta find a way to be
happy in my destiny
gotta hold my hope
and time will tell

Lyrics: J. Haden

Well what an unintended journey
scent on the breeze that leads
me back to you and then
I close my eyes and
we’re together again
A memory so close to surface
tip of my tongue the rumble
of your voice so near
how I can taste the smoke on
words you spoke into my ear
Electrifying conversation
something that throws my
senses into overdrive
holding tight to words
that were yours and mine
I feel them drawing ever nearer
I can’t compete these
recollections always win
I close my eyes and
we’re together again
Up come the familiar places
a spot on the sidewalk we
once stood and cursed the rain
and I can feel the wind from outside
in rush through my veins
Like velvet underneath my fingers
the softest touch the quiet hush
just memories
like a dream that seems
much to real to be
Trumpet Solo
Well what an unintended journey
scent on the breeze that leads
me back to you and then
I close my eyes and
we’re together again
A memory so close to surface
tip of my tongue the rumble
of your voice so near
how I can taste the smoke
on words you spoke into my ear
Electrifying conversation
something that throws my
senses into overdrive
holding tight to words
that were yours and mine

Music & Lyrics: H.Veloso

Make a move
There’s no surprise I’m
spending time with you
Do the things we haven’t done before
Write up the unwritten in the stone
Cry the uncried tear!
Should I choose
The nature that keeps living
in this gloom
drifting in the stream that leads me on
Lift the anchor keeping me in place
go flowing down a river!
Falling free
Praying for a better place to be
willing to believe and trust beyond
Drifting mindless reaching for the sun
swimming up the river!
See the signs
a desperate passion
taking course alone
The secrecy of what I feel is gone
dignify the thoughts I try to hide
I’m drifting down the river!
It’s the legacy of silence
in the calm before the storm
we prance around in darkness
until we find the light
I can choose
destroy the chains that
keep me in this room
wonder off to see the world beyond
opening the gates and going through
clear away the fear
Feeling free
Still looking for a better place to be
eager to believe and gaze beyond
mocking life and preaching to the sun
floating down the river!

Music & Lyrics: H.Veloso

Been goin’ round searching
for a place in the sun
or the promise of a ray of light.
A flash in the pan. Is it just a dream?
I’ll someday figure it out.
There’s mystery
in those flickering beams
going further down my empty faith
but when I open my eyes
to the hows and whys
I know I’ll understand it someday
Taking to space flight
Leaving the way that I used to be
All I wanna do is hook up with Barbarella
All I wanna do is hook up with Barbarella
My toes in the sand, sipping on a cool draft
as I’m nibble on a slice of life
I know of no shame for what’s going on
my soul is adrift in the clouds
So here I am
with the fate I have planned
laid before me like a shining prize
still I behave don’t know how or why
wishing on a piece of the pie
Bask in the sunlight
that is the place where I wanna be...
Don’t know where to go, if I’ll ever get back, cruising up in space in my rag-top
puffing on some herb, fly as high as the sky, amble on the moon in my flip flops
I think it’s time to lift it up...
I think this time I have to take off...
All I wanna do is hook up with Barbarella
All I wanna do is hook up with Barbarella
