lyrics

13. Talismans
1. Gather the magic around me.
Touchstones of time in a circle before me.
They don’t look like treasures to anyone else
But they wove themselves into my story

chorus
Talismans that can still reach you.
Instant connections to the world inside
They still have more lessons to teach you.
While taking you on a magic carpet ride.

2. Seekers of wonder go lightly
The more you collect the weaker their spell.
So gather the strongest ones round you tightly.
Select only those with the best tales to tell.

3. Like the Indian singer creating
80 years old but with a twinkle in her eyes.
She seems to get younger the longer she sings,
Words I don’t understand but I know they are wise.

chorus bridge
On a smile from you across a crowded room
Reminiscences flew of those shared before
A late summer sunset, a bright thunder moon
A kalaidescope revolving door of your life

4. An old cinemain a midwinter storm.
No heating and graffiti'd walls all around.
The images up on the screen kept us as warm
As the sprit we sipped as it burned its way down.

5. Memories and music surround me
Paintings and films, and my favourite books,
I don't know just how or why they all found me.
But they lend me their power each that time I look.

chorus
