Alela Diane - Every Path

Alela Diane - Every Path

All the back roads, all the highways
Distant countries that I've passed through
Every Path has led me back to you
Every Path has led me back to you

Down by the river by the light of the moon
I feel the echo of your current in my core as I roam
As I roam, as I roam, as I roam, as I roam

Every path has led me back to you
Every path has led me back to you

When I'm around I want you near
Handsome fellow, will you hold me dear?
I've seen blue eyes and straight white teeth
Golden minds and sturdy feet

But Every Path has led me back to you
Every Path has led me back to you

Down by the river by the light of the moon
I feel the echo of your current in my core as I roam
As I roam, as I roam, as I roam, as I roam

Every path has led me back to you
Every path has led me back to you

Put your hand upon by breast
My little darlin' I know of restlessness

My little darlin' I know of restlessness

Alela Diane - The Ocean (Berlin)

Alela Diane - The Ocean

Lido, Berlin, GER
April 10, 2009

She was always walking,
Singing to her footsteps
Dirt ditched paths and pine cones

Digging up glass bottles

Rusty springs from feather beds
Old hubcaps on a picket fence
She planted beds of flowers
Stayed outside for hours

In spirit she's drifted to The Ocean
All those years of waiting for the water
She''s watching long shadows call in the tide
But the sunset by the sea is in her mind

The sunset by the sea is in her mind
And she was always hoping
To someday leave the mountain
Domestic chores and children
The darkness of the winter

Painting all these mermaids
Wandering to the seashore
She wanted him to follow
But his heart is with the hillside

In spirit she's drifted to The Ocean
All those years of waiting for the water
She's watching long shadows call in the tide
But the sunset by the sea is in her mind

These days you'll find her walking
Singing to the deep sea
But she will always love him
Lost up in the Mountains

The sun set on The Ocean
Gathering shells and beach glass
Dancing with the rolling waves
It gives her peace of mind

But she will always love him
Lost up in the mountains
