Sleepy River 03:09
Close your eyes my dear and dream You’ll float downstream on Sleepy River You can deny, life is but a smile Asleep on Sleepy River Feel the warm sun on your face Those lazy waves on Sleepy River Don’t you worry now, About the life you knew before this Don’t you know, Your troubles and your woes can’t find you in your boat So close your eyes and float down Sleepy River So no one can wake you now No one can wake you now So close your eyes dream You’ll float downstream upon Sleepy River

Feel Alive 05:21
Amidst the fading conversations Swirling smoke amidst the night A jug of wine between a few friends of mine Swapping smiles cross the night like falling stars Silhouettes made of these mountains Fall like pedals from the sky A soft guitar playing all the things you are And a drunken choir wobbles out a tune These are the moments These are the moments of your life Sparkling embers between the days and the nights These are the moments of your life Falling between the cracks Of day into night and night into day Into the fading light The fading light All my life To feel so alive Staring up With our backs against the earth Falling straight into the universe Every thought that’s said Wonder fills your head Every star a tunnel to a new way of life Reciting Kerouac and Martin Luther King Watching the night fall thought the centuries And every thought wonder fills your head Every possibility coming true In front of you Chorus; These are the moments These are the moments of your life Sparkling embers between the days and the nights These are the moments of your life Falling between the cracks Of day into night and night into day Into the fading light The fading light All my life To feel so alive Every time I come here I feel so alive That I can’t describe how it feels to be alive
