Intro: (Sherlock Holmes) "Pon my word, Watson, you're coming along wonderfully. You've really done very well indeed. It's true that you've missed everything of importance, but you've hit upon the method, and you've a quick eye for colour. Never trust to general impressions, but concentrate yourself upon details." Perfection... is it all is seems? Perfection... your idea of heaven. Like a mouse you see up close, So the molehills become mountains. Nothing can escape your eye,or your observation. Criticising what you find, Magnifying glass in hand Like Sherlock on a mission. You are like a scientist. I wait for you to have a clue... proof to prove that you exist. Love is complicated to a microscope mind The heart is simple and real And how I feel is elementary. Rejection... is all it seems to be. Reflection... changes my perception. There's no loss without the gaining, We're enough as we, imperfectly. Look at all the details... ever-dense to send me down, Prove you right so I am wrong, Guilty til proved innocent... Will you hear my alibi? Life is complicated To a microscope mind The heart is simple and real And how I feel Is elementary Perfection... is it all is seems? Perfection... your idea of heaven. Like a mouse you see up close, So the molehills become mountains. Rejection... is all it seems to be. Reflection... changes my perception. There's no loss without the gaining, We're enough as we, imperfectly. There's no loss without the gaining, We're enough as we, imperfectly. Have you a clue? Have you a clue? Have you a clue? Have you a clue? There's no loss without the gaining We're enough as we, imperfectly.

Yes You (Do) 05:49
Why is the world so unkind? I don't know what's on your mind. Seeking the answers to find An eye for an eye will make you blind. As do I, you're playing a part Who said you are? Why do I, when nobody gets me but... As do I, you're playing a part Who said you are? Why do I, when nobody gets me but... Nobody gets me but You, yes you. You, yes you do. You, yes you. You, yes you do.

Soften my heart When there's a part of me Who won't accept the "me" That's not ok to be. I am not what I think myself to be I'm not what I believe myself to be... Roll it round, break it down Knock it on the head now... 'Cos nothing works like this. Not cars, nor money, nor sex, Nor want, nor need. 'Cos nothing works like this... So wonderfully. Soften your heart If there's a part of you That's not ok with who You think you are. You are not what You feel yourself to be. You're not what you believe yourself to be. There's a truth inside, Surrendering the lies. There's a truth inside... Surrender to it.

Epitaph 04:28
Soaring descent as a red leaf's descending When there is neither wind, nor noise of rain But only autumn air and the unending Drawing of all things to the earth again. So be it! Let the snow fall deep and cover All that was drunken once with light and air The earth will not regret her tireless lover Nor he awake to know she does not care. (My additional lyrics) Can I please, can I please, can I please Can I please? Can I please find release? Can I please, can I please, can I please Can I please? Can I please find sweet release? Love is something other than a physical reaction

Open 04:21
This close, So open I could hear you Speak not just with your mouth... Word of thoughts and feelings continue unspoken. I sometimes wonder Where it's got me... It doesn't stop me. These things still arise through your eyes. There's a twist in the tale To this strange story, Nobody hears When I'm not thinking... These patchwork feelings Sewn together of all memories Fits together, Like the puzzle we are. This close, So open I could hear you Speak not just with your mouth... Word of thoughts and feelings continue unspoken.

To be close to you is beautiful, You a gift that I adore... And I'm wrapped in a moment Here with you... And nothing else exists... Only this moment here with you. Oh, together we are beautiful... Love a gift that I adore. And I'm wrapped in a moment Here with you... And nothing else exists... Only this moment here with you. And every moment is connected - Just like a telescope, each one extends. And I I said Said you know me... As I know you. And I I said you know me... Yes, you do. You do. Every moment is connected Here with you. Here with you.

I'll sing you a song... Sing you on your way. I'll show you a sign... Sign that things are changing. I'll sing you a song... Sing you on your way. I'll show you a sign... Sign that things are changing. I will sing to you Of oceans blue... Of yellow sands And emerald lands. Oh, I'm loving you More than I can say, So I'll sing you a song Of our love and all beautiful things. I'll sing you a song... Sing you on your way. I'll show you a sign... Sign that things are changing. I'll sing you a song... Sing you on your way. I'll show you a sign... Sign that things are changing. I will sing to you Of oceans blue... Of yellow sands And emerald lands. Oh, I will sing to you A dawn-filled sky On a mountain high Where eagles fly. Oh, I'm loving you More than I can say, So I'll sing you a song Of our love and all beautiful things. So I'll sing you a song Of our love and all beautiful things.

This is her Eurdy (‘treasure-house’) of favourite collaborations over the years. She describes this eclectic collection as her “Cabinet of Curiosities”... there's something here for everyone.
