Abide

Some things abide
While others pass away
Like the ocean’s tide
That rise and falls each day

There’s things we keep
While some we give away
And others still are lost
Somewhere in the fray

Let it pass away (x4)

Some friends may go
While many others stay
And loves may die
To rise again some day

There’s fears we hold
And those we cast away
Like a worn out shoe
That we’ve outgrown in play

Let it pass away (x4)

Some things abide
While others pass away
Like the ocean’s tide
That rise and falls each day

Let it pass away (x4)

Let it pass away (x2)

Walk Away (SinQ Remix)

I’ve felt the dizzy heights
Don’t wanna take the fall
Well, I’ve climbed and seen the sights
Just wanna take it all in
Then walk away, yeah (x2)

I’ve come close to the fire
Nearly burned my hands
I won’t be lifted higher
To be dropped to the sands
No

No, I’ll walk away
Find my own space
I’ll hide away
Til I feel safe again

Maybe I’m acting scared
See, I been hurt before
And my old heart just ain’t prepared
To take a chance any more
No

I’ll walk away
Find my own space
I’ll hide away
‘Til I feel safe again
I’ll walk, I’ll walk away
Again
Find my own space
Again
I’ll hide away, til I feel safe again
I’ll walk, I’ll walk away
Ooh

Walk Away (Bitstream Dream Mix)

I’ve felt the dizzy heights
Don’t wanna take the fall
I’ve climbed and seen the sights
Just wanna take it all in
Then walk away

I’ve come close to the fire
Nearly burned my hands
I won’t be lifted higher
To be dropped to the sand
No

I’ll walk, I’ll walk away
Find my own space
I’ll hide away
Til I feel safe again

Maybe I’m acting scared
See, I been hurt before
And my old heart just ain’t prepared
To take a chance any more
No

I’ll walk away
Find my own space
I’ll walk, I’ll walk away
Find my own space
I’ll hide away
Til I feel safe again
I’ll walk, I’ll walk away
Find my own space
I’ll hide away
Til I feel safe again

Ring (Lovespirals Version)

Come away, oh human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand

You cannot stay another day
Come away, at once, I say
The world’s more full of weeping than you understand

It’s in my hands to find you to find you
Reason after reason to find you
Come away
(x2)

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
Gray sands with light, far off by furthest Rosses
Tis there that we shall foot it all the night

We’ll be weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight

It’s in my hands to find you

It’s in my hands to find you to find you
Reason after reason to find you
Oh Child, come away
(x3)

Adapted by Anji Bee from the poem, “The Stolen Child,” by William Butler Yeats which was the inspiration for Kristen Perry’s lyrics on the original version of “Ring” released on ‘Flux’ in 1998

When Lovespirals first toured in 2002 to support the release of their debut album, ‘Windblown Kiss,’ they needed more music for their set, so Anji worked up her own version of the LSD song, “Ring.” This version was performed perhaps only a handful of times and never recorded except in a fan video.

You Are The Gun

You know your city’s dirt and grime
Just confuses my mind
Doesn’t look so pretty, but I don’t care
I’m gonna move on and find some air
Right now all I can feel
The sting on my neck
The burdens don’t make it feel so free
But you bring it on home to me

I won’t run, I won’t run,
I won’t hide
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride

You are the gun
That shoots it on home
You are the one
That drives it on home
Out in the night
I found my key
Out in the night
Never knew love could flow so free

I won’t run, I won’t run,
I won’t hide
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride

I won’t run, I won’t run,
I won’t hide
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride
I won’t run, I won’t run,
I’m gonna ride
I won’t run, I won’t run,
never again

Windblown Kiss

A windblown kiss
Carried over the sea
On sunlight’s rays
Dreams of delight
Dance their way to me

Einen luftkusse
Uber die meere
An eninem sonnenstrahl
Reizende traume
Tanzem mir zu

One can cry only so many
Sea salty tears
Oceans of missed kisses
Over the years

— By Anji Bee (BMI), German translation by Kristiane Joy

Swollen Sea

Will you return here?
Engulfed by a bleak fear
Have you been swallowed
By the swollen sea?

Where have you gone to?
Pray tell it’s not true
That you’ve been swallowed
By the swollen sea

Drowning, drowning — oh no (x2)

Swim back, please swim back
Oh swim back, please swim back to me
Swim back, please swim back
Oh swim back, please swim back to me

Will you return here?
Engulfed by a bleak fear
Have you been swallowed
By the swollen sea?

Where have you gone to?
Pray tell it’s not true
That you’ve been swallowed
By the swollen sea

Drowning, drowning — oh no (x4)

Our Nights

Floating along on an ocean breeze
The island coast in view
You’ll be the captain and I your mate
We need no other crew
The weather is fair, the sky is clear
The waves are very few
Nobody out on this perfect day
So I’m all alone with you

Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights
Our nights (x2)

Out in our boat on the open sea
The summer light is strong
Everything’s different, time is changed
The days can feel so long
All of our cares seem to disappear
Nothing could be wrong
Let us stay here forevermore
It’s where we both belong
Belong (x2)

Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights
Sailing along here in Avalon
The sun’s so warm and bright
How I enjoy our lovely days
But look forward to our nights

Our nights (x4)

Old Kazoo Blues (Hidden Track)

That girl mistreated me
She really done me wrong
That girl mistreated me
She really done me wrong
That’s why I’m singing
This low-down ole blues song

She made a fool of me
It tore me all apart
She made a fool of me
It tore me all apart
She made me feel so bad
It nearly broke my heart

She got me feeling down
She got me feeling so blue
She got me feeling down
She got me feeling so blue
Guess there ain’t nothing left
But to play my kazoo

That girl’s been telling lies
She plays it off so cool
That girl’s been telling lies
She plays it off so cool
What does she take me for?
I ain’t no little girl’s fool

Oh So Long

As the days pass
From dusk to dawn
I count the minutes
And the hours
‘Til you come home again

And it’s oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

As the years pass
From frost to thaw
I count the days
And the months
‘Til I go home again

And it’s oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

— By Anji Bee (BMI)

I Can't See You

I don’t recall the last time we met
Oh dear, seems you have yet to forget
But I, I’ve moved on
There’s nothing that I regret

No I, no I can’t see you
No I, I can’t be with you
Don’t try to kiss me
I’ll only push you away
Don’t say you miss me
There’s some things that one shouldn’t say
We both know it’s over
And it should stay that way

No I, no I can’t see you
No I, I can’t be with you
Don’t hold my hand
I think you know the score
Please try to understand
I’m not your girl anymore
Go on, don’t force me
To show you to the door

No, no, no no

Non je, je ne puis pa vous voir
Je ne puis pa etre avec vous
Je suis desole
Je ne veux pas voux

No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

— By Anji Bee (BMI)

How The Thieves Ride

Oh when the dust blows
How it clouds my eyes
Oh how I wish I could see you

Oh how the thieves ride
They scream through the night
Oh how I wish I could lose them

I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna lose them
I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna leave them behind

Oh when the shells fall
And wicked men play games
Oh how I choose to refuse them

Now as the day ends
And clouds close my eyes
Oh how I wish I could see you

Oh when the thoughts bite
And drain my hollow head dry
Oh how I know I must forsake them

I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna lose them
I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna leave them behind

I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna lose them
I’ll refuse them
Then I’ll lose them
I won’t abuse them
But I’m gonna leave them behind
Behind (x3)
