WINGFUL OF EYES
Words and Music
by Mike Howlett

There is a feeling we all know
Something happened long ago
When you remember who you were
Makes you what you are today
You are a kite upon the wind
Blowing through eternity
And you were always meant to fly
You are a wingful of eyes

And you rise
And you're floating in ecstasy
And your eyes
And your eyes are open wide
You'll be dancing to the seven skies
Your eyes are wise, you're wise, you're wise
Your eyes, and you rise...

Learning to turn our fears into hopes
Turning, it's turning the angeless we long for
And a great wind is blowing, it's sowing love
The seed of a new age
And the seed that they're sowing, it's showing us
How we will, will, will be...
Now we're learning how to live to love
To live to love to live
Love to live to love to live
To live love - live love, live love love

Why is the pussy in our well?
Mustn't be the cat that fell
Where can we find our heart's desire
Living in the fire?
There was a lion in our glen
Who met a unicorn
Now you were always meant to fly
You are a wingful of eyes

CHANDRA
Words by Mike Howlett, Music by Patrice Lemoine and Mike Howlett

Did you get it? Did you get it?
You're just another fish in the sea, yeah
Did you get it? Did you get it?
You gotta get it right
And you get it jerked when you get it right
When you get it, you won't forget it
When you get it, you won't regret it
When you get it you'll start to see
Your course the same as me

You call, you grow
You know, you blow
You fall, to the wall
You laugh

Now you know it's good to be back here in the world again
Don't you know it's great to be in love with a girl again?
Down here in the battlefield of time
Don't get lost to reason or rhyme
Humpty Dumpty in the forest of man
Really ought to get it together again
Wouldn't you like to fly? Wouldn't you like to know why?

You die, you try
To fly when you're high
You're low, you know
You grow to flow
To laugh in the path
But you fall
You get it after all

SHAMAL
Words by Mike Howlett, Music by Gong

Deep - deep within you
In a secret place
Deep - deep within you
Everything you want to know lies
You're just killing time
Don't matter what you found
Doesn't break out your mind
Running around in space
Running through the wind
In a special place
Standing in the middle

Deep - deep within you
Deep - deep within you
Deep - deep within you

There's a strange wind blowing through us all
There's a strange wind blowing through us now
