Into the Shining Day Am/C/F/E :// Into the shining day, hand in hand we make a way. Under the loving sea I am for you. You are for me. Beneath the heavens above, life is life only after love. Over the great abyss, we can remember this like a kiss C/C/G7/G7:// Relax. We will do what you want to do. I just want to be with you & pass the days together. Beyond the instrument the music ascends, to the deepest mystery where you are the door & I am the key. Besides your gentle touch I don't want very much Over the great abyss we can hold onto this Like a kiss Relax. We will do what you want to do. I just want to be with you & pass the days together.

Hooked Upon The Fall F Dm/F Dm/F Dm/Am C F Dm/F Dm/F Dm/Dm C This life is a carnival; it's a ball. Telling fortunes, reading palms, writing poems in the stalls, laughing loud, playing clown, spinning 'round in a waltz. Since the day that I first fell in love I've been hooked upon the fall Dm Am/C Dm/Dm Am/ 1stC F :// 2ndB E Fell through the floor, fell & fell through the core of the earth & the fires of hell looking up at the darkness & silence above I keep falling & falling & falling in love You poke my prophet out You show the devil how death is all sweetness & light In my dreams we are acting out scenes from The Garden of Delights Your love is blanket to an Eskimo Your love is a hat to the bald Your love lets the caller & the called disappear & be lost inside The Call Right through the floor I fell & fell through the core of the earth & the fires of hell I look up at the darkness & silence above & keep falling & falling & falling in love

A/C#m/Bm/Dm A/C#m/Bm/E Deep down in your love I have put my love, because Deep down in your sea my love is meant to be. F/F/G/G Down where the sun don't shine I put this love of mine Deep down in your sea Let it be where it wants to be Deep down in your dark My love has shined a light Deep down in your darkest night Deep down in your sea my love Down where the sun don't shine I shine this light of mine Deep down in your dark showing me who you are deep down. In your sea

Lit At Noon 02:39
Chords: C/E/F/GF I am yours. I am lost in you. I am lost is where I long to be lost as a candle lit at noon lost as a snowflake in the sea Lost I love you. I am lost inside your spirit beautiful and bright I love to be so lost in you, lost as a light is lost in a light.

A/C#m/D/E The more I reach out for control, the more you slip away. The more I try to let you go, the more you want to stay D/D/E/E A/C#m/D/E I just want to get along. The more you try & hide away, the more I want to know. The more you want to see in me, the less there is to show. I just want to get along. Me & you have got to learn to get along cause we belong to the same brain baby. You're mine & you're not mine. You're here & you're not here. Me & you have got to learn to get along cause we belong to the same brain baby I'm yours & I'm not yours. I'm here & I'm not here.

about

Iris Freeheart is a visionary celebration of the many paradoxes of the human mind, music for revolutionary movements and intimate moments. Longing music, music for people who love, have loved, are currently loving and want so badly to love they can't wait another hour. An immense energy occupies the ever-so-narrow space between Iris and the audience, between these voices and your ears. Could it point toward some kind of transcendence?

"In the fall of 2007 I found a document that made me very happy for the first time. 93 typed pages scattered on the side of highway 87 in upstate New York. I don't know who wrote it. No one does. I've looked everywhere and in every way I can think. But I been calling her Iris Freeheart.

It feels right somehow. Finding these words changed everything for me. Before that I never sang. I was just a normal, hitchhiking to my boring job. Now singing’s all I do. I heard songs in those words. So I learned music and transcribed what I heard and reproduced this magical document as hymnals to share with others so they can feel the same great feelings I been feeling since that day. That's what I've been doing all this time. Now I would like to share it with you."
