Hey hey, what a day All the voice in my head Sing you are beautiful To me Hey hey, wild winds play Pan’s spirit moves the Rowan tree and sings Sing you are beautiful To me Wild fields blur beneath your feet The daughters of time weave the path to meet And a magical love my heart shall bring When you look in my eyes, my very soul shall sing ...

Like a breath before morning Like the Earth after rain Like a sunrise now dawning I’ll embrace your pain Like a mist on spring meadow Come dance here free heart The song of life melts the shadow Healing time lights your path Bright sparks light the flame An Asperger’s heart Shines with bright love again Bright sparks light the flame A world often dark Shines with bright love again Bright Sparks An Asperger’s heart glows with bright love aflame Like a song on the wind Silence calling again Deep loving heart can hear your voice The inner wind knows your name Snow drop in a river An ocean of time Each drop of this moment, Your ocean calls; love divine Bright sparks light the flame An Asperger’s heart Shines with bright love again Bright sparks light the flame A world often dark Shines with bright love again Bright Sparks An Asperger’s heart glows with bright love aflame © David Charles Rowan

Over the Moon 03:36

Over the Moon the sleepy grass of a summer's afternoon knows autumn's wind shall blow softly, soon ... For one day our feet into light shall be home Until then, here in time, love is cast into stone the dance of the Earth with the Sun and the Moon turns the wheel of life, sometimes too soon and yet through all the changes the rise and fall of fools and sages failures and goals the outcast hovel king’s ransom hall we are bound in love, the light of the soul taking the path that leads over the Moon I hope what we learn isn’t learned too soon © David Charles Rowan

Love is the Lore 04:17
lyrics

This is a little bit of alchemy ... A little bit of you and me ... A lot of soul And lot of heart Ignite the flame come divine spark This is a little bit of paradise ... A little time of something nice ... An oasis in the madness A bright dream in the dark Cast the shadows now from my heart For what is life for ? All the pain of growing If it isn’t to learn of sunshine Of laughter before leaving Of summer’s bright return What is this life, what is time for ? If we give no time to learn Love is the Lore This is a little bit of poetry ... A little bit of reality ... We are souls exploring space time And so in love, our lights entwine Every hour with you is touched by a love divine This is a little moment, for a soul ... ‘Tis but a step on the great light road ... And yet it burns with precious flame The Lore of love is cast again Your kiss melts my heart, My soul sings your name For what is life for ? All the pain of growing If it isn’t to learn of sunshine Of laughter before leaving Of summer’s bright return What is this life, what is time for ? If we give no time to learn Love is the Lore © David Charles Rowan

No words can I find To capture your face No phrase or rhyme To paint your beauty For a reader’s eyes To embrace How can I say ‘Love’ this light, divine ...

Would you catch my heart while I catch my breath Would it be my name you call Would you be my love and delight in me Be the starshine when light falls Would your heart dance and laugh with me When shadow’s hand is long Would you lay my colours at winter’s bridge Will you sing with me at Beltane’s song Would you hold my heart in soft desire Would you love my very soul would you be my flame until time is done Be my sweet love when light falls © David Charles Rowan

Prometheus Rising 04:06
lyrics

Drifting from high planes Like Chiron she came Love in the temple of my mind Strange declaration ‘The instrument of pain’ Kicked the doors of Hades open wide So wise counsel would say Hey - it’s alright Pain is the gift of new life And some would strangely say That twist of the knife ‘Is a gift of love disguised as just unkind’ Wide open and abandoned My heart in her hand She summoned the hydra and stopped time When hope is falling remember the Sun Clouds live in sunshine - a star is just one When it’s your turn to burn light your mind from the Sun Prometheus rising tonight She said ‘it’s your turn’ © David Charles Rowan, 1999

No one looks When she looks down If you could see her tears inside Your eyes would drown It doesn’t matter if it’s winter again She's holding on She has to find the strength in the pain She always finds people don’t care anyway Hey hey brother brother Bright spiritual warrior Your greatest strength is kindness Take care of your sister If the heart is a temple, the centre of your life Have the strength to be gentle, the wisdom to be kind It might seem cool to be cruel, sarcastic or unkind But crushing someone’s feelings turns the eye of love to blind So find the greatest strength of all Allow the wings of your heart to soar Be kind enough to honour Gaea Artemis, Isis, Freyer Come maiden, mother, wisdom - light Freyer Hey lover lover Let only sweetness touch your heart If someone feels a little bitter Then it’s better that you part Hey wounded brother Hey wounded sister There is a path; through the forest Peace and laughter come to rest there So find the greatest strength of all Allow the wings of your heart to soar Be kind enough to honour Gaea Artemis, Isis, Freyer Come maiden, mother, wisdom - light Freyer No one looks No one hears the sound If you could hear her silent cries Your heart would frown It doesn’t matter if it’s summer again She’s holding on She’s sure that time can heal anything She believes destiny has plans for everything Hey mother mother Your heart’s a cradle for your son Your hands make light ... or shadow The reach of childhood’s arm is long If the heart is a temple, the centre of your life Have the strength to be gentle, the wisdom to be kind It might seem cool to be cruel, sarcastic or unkind But crushing someone’s feelings turns the eye of love to blind So find the greatest strength of all Allow the wings of your heart to soar Be kind enough to honour Gaea Artemis, Isis, Freyer Come maiden, mother, wisdom - light Freyer © David Rowan. 1997 & completed 29th September 2013

The Heart of You 03:55
lyrics

I don’t know – what light made this life for I don’t know – what I’ll learn from this arduous road I don’t know – how to rest this thirst to know more I just know – my heart hears a distant calling ‘you really know – divine love is behind you’ ‘you really know – your true self is your soul’ ‘you really know – the love you’re looking for … is in the Heart of you …. From sorrow – we learn to walk with kindness From shadows – we lean into the light From deeds we sew – shaping tomorrow As you grow – your history passes calling ‘you really know – a lifetime is but a fleeting moment’ ‘you really know – home awaits your Soul’ ‘you really know – the love you’re looking for … is in the Heart of you …. And pain you know – makes bitter of this world of beauty And pain you know – burns a flame across this land And pain you know – grows into forgiveness Time to know – here … your higher voice is calling ‘you really know – divine love is behind you’ ‘you really know – home too awaits your Soul’ ‘you really know – the love you’re looking for … is in the Heart of you …. The love you’re looking for The wealth you’re hungry for The life you’re looking for The goal you hope to score The height you’re reaching for Praise you need so much more Strength to find the summer’s door Wisdom’s path your feet to walk The eye of kindness at your door The confidence to shine and soar All the love you’re looking for … is in the Heart of you … © David Charles Rowan

the Sweetest Spot There’s a beautiful place, in this beautiful world Where my fears and troubles worry me not I can feel my soul sing, my heart unfolds At the sweetest spot ... A dappled path through a tunnel of trees Sweet honey due, upon the breeze The beauty of all mother nature sees At the sweetest spot Wise old badger Cunning fox Sunlit eye forget me not haunting moon and wild cry my heart is held by soft green moss an inner light shines at the sweetest spot sacred grove and ancient stone pay no heed to the paths we roam my heart hears the calling, my feet return home at the sweetest spot © David Rowan, May 2013

The Haunting 03:22
lyrics

The Haunting How can I walk away ? How can I just say goodbye ? Your laughter still rings from pictures in cold empty rooms What can I say when you cry ? You tell me you love me Plead me to stay Your face haunts my mind A price for the guilty to pay Love is blind Yet changes its colours Seasoned in time ... If love comes to fall Still hearts touch above Deep inside me Forever, the haunting of love What does 'destiny' mean ? It brings us so close Tears us apart It's always the wrong time to tell you 'I must break your heart' I live for your love But no day is ever the same Love moves the strong So how can the weak be to blame ? Love is blind Yet changes its colours Seasoned in time ... If love comes to fall Still hearts touch above Deep inside me Forever, the haunting of love © David Charles Rowan 1984

Here he comes, the tiger cat ... Some of its muscle – it’s not all fat ... I’m really quite young ... I’m not as old as that So watch out kitten – I’m a really cool cat I’ve got friends and milk and plenty of food I’m a tiger cat, I’m not a fool Yeah I come and go, I do what I please Call all of us tiger cats are free Well, I like to sleep in the afternoon In the morning, and a night time too And if trouble comes to my door today I scratch real mean the tiger way ... I go up town, groove the scene I’ve got a reputation of being mean Well, we all of us know we are not what we seem Just ask the girl cats tiger’s seen There’s Flossy, Candy, Tricksy and Penn Though some of us are worried about old uncle Ben I say don’t mind, he’s a cat just the same Said I’m a tiger cat, remember my name © David Charles Rowan, 1985

Life is the crossing of the sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship. In death we reach the shore, and go to our different worlds What you are you do not see - you see your shadow We read the world wrong - and say that it deceives us Men are cruel – but man is kind We read the world wrong - and say that it deceives us missing the sun you also miss the stars Chorus: My life doesn't follow the curve, thoughts whirl around me like stray birds ... my path finds a parallel world, like stray birds ... My life doesn't follow the curve, thoughts whirl around me like stray birds ... my path finds a parallel world, Sirens call me, like stray birds My heart is home - homeesick today, for the one sweet hour Across the sea of time We live in this world - when we love it I cannot choose the best - the best chooses me We read the world wrong - and say that it deceives us Men are cruel – but man is kind We read the world wrong - and say that it deceives us missing the sun you also miss the stars Chorus: My life doesn't follow the curve, thoughts whirl around me like stray birds ... my path finds a parallel world, like stray birds ... My life doesn't follow the curve, thoughts whirl around me like stray birds ... my path finds a parallel world, Sirens call me, like stray birds Song concept and choruses © David Rowan, December 2012 Verses and title inspiration © R Tagore, ‘Stray Birds’, Published; Forgotten Books.

I feel it rising Don’t want to live it again So surprising How we think we deal with pain Two worlds colliding Past and future look the same Thunder no lightning It don’t feel like cleansing rain So low These pictures of myself Keep falling - calling Solo Breaking my old shell I cry - when a part of my life dies The greatest power is to master yourself The greatest mystery is ‘How ?’ The greatest fear is to know well yourself The greatest strength you’ll ever know is ... ... to change your inner world I feel it rising Feel like I can breath again No shadows hiding The light of wisdom heals with change Solo These pictures of myself Keep dawning - calling Soul grows Leaving my old shell I’m high - when a new star lights my life The greatest power is to master yourself The greatest mystery is ‘How ?’ The greatest fear is to know well yourself The greatest strength you’ll ever know is ... ... to change your inner world © David Charles Rowan, 1998

Some people say That it's hard to survive So you've got to be hard to come through And if you Give things away to help someone They say there's something wrong with you ….. There's something wrong with you You've got to fly high as children die Surely the madness has to stop ! But I forgot Only the sane care for themselves It's not what you are It's what you've got Well, each to his own I follow my own road The light of love my only goal So won't you shine on me Shine on me It's give and take But the give's gone astray The state of the wealfare is cruel I'm told I'm only worth what I can buy And money's worth more than life Money's worth more than life Well, each to his own I follow my own road The light of love my only goal So won't you shine on me Shine on me An eye for an eye but our hands are tied So do as you would be done to It's hard to survive And money's worth more than life And money's worth more than life © David Charles Rowan, 1986

It’s so very strange indeed To have a holy war When holy men say peace Were just Earth’s children after all Getting good is evolution We’re science and we’re spirtual You’re nurturing your nature Transforming your world Whatever your future Your Karma will suitya Shine Out the Best of You ! Shine Bright like a Harvest Moon ! We’ve got different ways to be And our own self mystery We’ve got an equal value Strange idiosyncrasy We all have our own dharma Our imprint destiny We’ve got a range of choices A soul and a chemistry Designing your future Your Karma will suit ya If there is a one Truth - you’re trying to find It’s inside - Inside of everyone It shines - Shines without a name So now it’s time To let your light side free again Shine Out the Best of You ! Shine Bright like a Harvest Moon ! Some find the truth in buildings Some find it in the stars Some think women are from Venus and men are from Mars Some find the truth in their genes Some don’t know where to start Some find the truth in books and ideas Some find it in their hearts It’s not so much reurection As just realising your perfection Learning to go with your own flow Follow your feelings and you’ll know Sometimes you’ll feel just alone Sometimes the long and painful road You’re the creation of your choices And every road leads home Remember your future Your Karma will suit ya Shine Out the Best of You ! Shine Bright like a Harvest Moon ! Remember your future Your Karma will suit ya Harvest everything you are .. ! © David Charles Rowan, 1996

So now, we’re strangers again Now the memory’s dim Would you deny it all ? Your eyes betray your smile And then just for a while I saw you inside ... Will the eye of love ever find me ... ? Love comes Love goes Love flows In a strange way ... The future brings a memory ... which is not me In a strange way ... So now, time to dream again Drift into to another plane Can your heart find it all ? The mind’s eye clambers over stile Your soul sees the endless mile No shadow to hide Your light ever surrounds me Love comes Love goes Love flows In a strange way ... The future brings a memory ... which is not me In a strange way ... So now, we’re strangers again Now remembered friends My name your heart will call The mind’s eye clambers over stile Your soul sees the endless mile No shadow to hide Your light ever surrounds me Love comes Love goes Love flows In a strange way ... The future brings a memory ... which is not me In a strange way ... Love comes Love goes Love flows In a strange way ... © David Rowan, September 1981
