I Hear Your Voice

J’entends vibrer ta voix tous les bruits du monde.
--Paul Eluard

I hear your voice in every sound
I stop, I turn, I move all around
A sudden noise and you can be found
I hear your voice

I feel your touch inside the wind
I stop, I turn, I move all around
A sudden breeze and you’re here again
I feel your touch

Love is the root of every song
And you are why I sing along

I see your face when you’re not around
I stop, I turn, I move all around
A sudden glimpse and you can be found
I see your face

Love is the route I’m traveling on
And you are the way I move along

I sing your name when you're not around
I stop, I turn, I move all around
A sudden song and you’re every sound
I sing your name

This was written in 2007. I just rewrote some of the lyrics, found a new key to sing it in, and finally recorded it just now.

And I'd forgotten till just now that I'd recorded an instrumental version of this on Oct 18, 2007. You can compare and contrast the two versions at your leisure.

Awake, O Sleeper

Awake, O sleeper
For the night is filled with song
Awake, O sleeper
Before the tune is gone

Awake, O dreamer
For the song has touched your ear
Awake, O dreamer
While it still lingers near

Get up, get up
Don't be down
Sit up, sit up
Don't be down

Awake, my soul
For the stillness waits for you
Awake, my soul
Before they close the gates on you


Rise up, rise up
Wise up, wise up

Compostela (A Field Of Stars)

Walk through a field of stars
Leave your dust behind
Keep your staff moving
Let the road clear your mind

Walk through a field of stars
The path can't be changed
The way ahead is worn
The way back ain't the same

Compostela
Compostela
Compostela

Walk through a field of stars
Picking up some shells
Just over that hill
You can hear bells

Walk through a field of stars
Below the Milky Way
Flashing flowers above
Shining on St James
