Miracles Take Time – David Elias
For Paul Pena
on and on now
don't be late
silver wings
on silver plates
autumn lingers
can't escape
miracles take time
sing me now
your hands must rest
your body lingers
'gainst the fences
of its own strength
time has tested
miracles take time
tell me now
remind me soon
how silk roads wind
under the moon
carry a windless
silver tune
miracles take time
lightly now
and none to bear
yet songs to sing
and words to hear
silent tears
your heart has shared
miracles take time

Poor Polly – David Elias
Settle down the question now poor Polly
Was it you who rode away or was it you who drowned
Was it Halfway Jim who did you in poor Polly
Or did he sweep you off your feet
And ride to higher ground
Settle down the question now poor Polly
Was there silver in that wedding dress
And diamonds on the ground
Were there three horsemen who knew you well poor Polly
Did they tie you in that chair
And bid you never make a sound
Settle down the question now poor Polly
Did you ride out with your lover straight across the border
Where's the papers that he left behind poor Polly
To vindicate your brother
Identify your daughter
Settle down the question now poor Polly
How many days before we hear your cross chain on the floor
Why waste your time with such small time poor Polly
You could have had most anyone
And struggled never more
Settle down the question now poor Polly
You hunger for the truth as you drink from every stream
Will we ever see your pretty eyes poor Polly
Or do you leave us running endlessly
Right back into your dream

White & Blue – David Elias
Red eye mind
done gone along
Red eye mind
done gone along
Green eye winks
summer's gone
Red eye mind
done gone along
The sparrow sings
the swallow falls
The sparrow sings
the swallow falls
Misty wren
sees none at all
The sparrow sings
the swallow falls
White and blue
the sand and sea
White and blue
the sand and sea
In the middle
you and me
White and blue
the sand and sea

Silver Pen

Silver Pen – David Elias
She caught a long train gone
There wasn't nothing to it
In the red red dawn
She just had to do it
Heard that lonesome song
And she could sing right through it
She caught a long train gone
She found a change of heart
In the changing light
Whatever made her start
Could not have been more right
She took her namesake's part
In the dead of night
She found a change of heart
She found a new home town
And she moved right in
And the freeway sound
It didn't come again
And in a drawer she found
Another silver pen
In her new home town

River Of Dreams

River of Dreams – David Elias
I sleep by the fire
Your song's in my dream
I run off to find you
You're nowhere it seems
Blue clouds float higher
Metallic skies gleam
Shadow the answer
This river of dreams
A fortnight's a long time
To wait by the door
Your footsteps don't echo
They been here before
I pull my coat tighter
Look out one time more
Your shadow's the answer
It lies on the floor
I'll cast one more time
To the river of dreams
With a net made of willow
And sycamore leaves
I won't look behind me
As tears turn to streams
Echo those answers
In rivers of dreams
