Calling

1 - U.N.I.
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

How does my north connect to my south?
How does my heart connect to my mouth?
How does my skin connect to my soul?
Is the sum of my parts anything whole?

What do my eyes reveal of my dreams?
How can I laugh when inside I scream?
How does my song connect to my name?
Can they be ever one and the same?

N I want you, N I need you
N I, N I, NINININeed you
N I want you, N I need you
N I N I N I

And I want to set my insides loose
Come to terms and sign a truce
If I can't find the mystery code
How will I ever carry this load?

N I want you, N I need you
N I, N I, NINININeed you
N I want you, N I need you
N I N I N I

And I know you're getting tired of the fight
To connect my left side with your right
To connect two arms and legs and all four chambers of the heart
And understand forever who we are, who we…

How can we live with anguish and fear?
How can we shelter all that is dear?
How can we take our fate in our hand?
I'm talking to you, you'll understand.

That I want you, N I need you
N I, N I, NINININeed you
N I want you, N I need you
N I, N I, NINININeed you
N I want you, N I need you
N I, N I, Need you
N I want you

The Universe begins with you and I
Universe begins with U.N.I., U.N.I.
The Universe begins with you and I
The Universe begins with you and I
Begins with you and I
You and I


2 - Too Proud
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Too proud to admit that love is gone
Too proud to admit the falling from Eden
Too proud to admit and much too strong
The landing was rough and the seat belt unfastened
Now it's gone away (and you gotta let go)
Now it's gone away (there's nothing to fear)
Now it's gone away (and you gotta let go)
It's gone away

Concentrate, concentrate
Reinstate your former state of mind
Concentrate, concentrate
Reinvent yourself with space and time

Your name is kin to the winds, sister
You're kin to the winds, sister
But you've an alabaster frame

And you're too proud to admit that love is gone
Too proud to admit the falling from Eden
Too proud to admit and much to strong
The landing was rough and the seat belt unfastened
Now it's gone away (and you gotta let go)
Now it's gone away (there's nothing to fear)
Now it's gone away (and you gotta let go)
It's gone away

Concentrate, concentrate
Reinstate your former state of mind
Concentrate, concentrate
Reinvent yourself with space and time

Your name is kin to the stars, sister
You're kin to the stars, sister
But now your perfect body's maimed

Still you're too proud to admit that love is gone
Too proud to admit the falling from Eden
Too proud to admit and much to strong
The landing was rough and the seat belt unfastened
Now it's gone away (and you gotta let go)
Now it's gone away (there's nothing to fear)
Now it's gone away (and you gotta let go)
It's gone away
Concentrate.


3 - By the light of the moon
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

By the light of the moon, I sing to you
By the light of the moon, I raise my voice
I raise my voice by the light of the stars
In a big black void and straight into your heart.

By the light of the moon, I sing to you
By the light of the moon, I raise my voice
I raise my voice by the light of the stars
In a big black void and straight into your heart.

I don't have to many words, I am not sophisticated
Listen to the crying birds, they call you in my name
Let me be your desert wind rattle you when you're sedated
For a soul so far elated cannot experience shame

By the light of the moon, I sing to you
By the light of the moon, I raise my voice
I raise my voice by the light of the stars
In a big black void and straight into your heart.

I don't have to many words, I am not sophisticated
Listen to the crying birds, they call you in my name
Let me be your desert wind rattle you when you're sedated
For a soul so far elated cannot experience shame
By the light of the sun, I'm happy and gay
All pristine and squeaky-clean, the good and proper way
By the light of the sun, I'm an innocent lamb
But the light of the moon reveals the wild horse that I am...
Reveals the wild horse that I am...

I don't have to many words, I am not sophisticated
Listen to the crying birds, they call you in my name
Let me be your desert wind rattle you when you're sedated
For a soul so far elated cannot experience shame
It's all annihilated by her flame
It's all annihilated by her flame!

By the light of the moon, I sing to you
By the light of the moon, I raise my voice
I raise my voice by the light of the stars
In a big black void and it's going straight into your heart.

By the light of the moon, I sing to you
By the light of the stars, straight into your heart
By the light of the moon, I sing to you
By the light of the stars, straight into your heart…


4 - Lama
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

He's so compassionate, he's, oh, so kind
All in peace, he says all in time
He's wrapped in wisdom and wisdom he speaks
So compassionate that I could freak

Time is running out on him, God is out to lunch
Time is running out on his decision
Every day that passes proves that God has lost his glasses...
Or could it be that tears have blurred his vision

He's so compassionate, he's oh so kind
All in peace, he says all in time
He's wrapped in wisdom from his head down to his feet
So compassionate but oh so weak

Time is running out on him, God is out to lunch
Time is running out on his decision
Every day that passes proves that God has lost his glasses...
Or could it be that tears have blurred his vision

Lama, Lama, Lama, Lama

He's so compassionate, it's all for their sake
I don't know philosophy but I do know ache
This ache is bigger than words on TV
So compassionate, how can he be?

Time is running out on him, God is out to lunch
Time is running out on his decision
Every day that passes proves that God has lost his glasses...
Or could it be that tears have blurred his vision

Lama, Lama, Lama, Lama
Lama, Lama, Lama, Lama…


5 - Space
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Space, gimme wide open space
With the sun and the rain in my hair
And the wind in my face, oh...
Space, gimme wide open space
With the sun and the rain in my hair
Every breath that I take, oh...

Space to cross, no pain, no fear
Space to cross, far away from here
Space to cross, no pain, no fear
Space to cross, far away from here

Space, gimme wide open space
With the sun and the rain in my hair
And the wind in my face, oh...

Space to cross, no pain, no fear
Space to cross, far away from here
Space to cross, no pain, no fear
Space to cross, far away from here

Your face and mine, the color of the earth
We both will scream, we scream when we give birth
We both will cry when our parents leave us
We both will die someday

Space, gimme wide open space
With the sun and the rain in my hair
And the wind in my face, oh...

Your face and mine, the color of the earth
We both will scream, we scream when we give birth
We both will cry when our parents leave us
We both will die someday

Space, gimme wide open space
With the sun and the rain in my hair
And the wind in my face, oh...
Space to cross, no pain, no fear
Space to cross, far away from here


6 - Too painful
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

If I were to open my eyes and stare at the sun
The delicate brown would burn
It's too painful, too painful
But I never never learn

If I were to go to the sea with an open wound
The salty waves would sting
It's too painful, too painful
But I haven't learned a thing

I haven't learned a thing
I'll never never learn
Never never never never learn...
I haven't learned a thing
I'll never never learn
Never never learn...

If I were to hold on to a high note
Until I cracked my voice
It's too painful, too painful
But I know I have no choice

I know I have no choice
I'll never never learn
Never never never never learn...
I know I have no choice
I'll never never learn
Never never never never learn...

Still like a child drawn to touch the flame
Never mind, I would tell you
Never know why I do
Passion will rise above all wisdom
Still like a child drawn to touch the flame
Riding a roller coaster
Tell me I go too fast
Tell you I know but I can't stop
It's too painful

I know I'll never never learn
Never never never never learn...

If I were to follow my dreams and take to the road
Would you be here when I return?
You say...
Never, never, never learn.
Never, never, never learn.
Never, never, never learn.
Never learn, never learn, never learn.
Never learn, never learn, never learn.


7 - Calling home
(Noa / Pat Metheny)

Hey, there...
Tell me what's going on
It's hard for me to feel you when you're far away.
You know, I worry... Are you sad or all alone again?
(I would do anything)
Just to know are you happy where you are?
(I would do anything)
To be there when you need me?
And hold you close, and to kiss your hair
Sit on your bed, now count to three
Open your eyes... it's me

Hey, there... Hey, there...
Everyone says "hello"
I try to keep them posted on your whereabouts
But all they manage is to be polite and send regards.
(I want to scream and shout)
Do you know there's a crater in my heart?
(I want to scream and shout)
Do you know I've perfected the painful art of an empty space
Sit on my bed, pick up the phone
Hear your voice say... I'm home.
I'm home, I'm home, I'm home…
I would do anything…


8 - Mark of Cain
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

I am a young woman with calloused hands and feet
With an evergrowing problem buried in me deep
It has stripped me of my beauty with an overwhelming pain
And on yesterday's proud forehead
It has burned the mark of Cain

It happened long ago though it seems like only yesterday
I had come back home after years of wandering astray
Walked familiar streets, never knowing fate would find me there
And ever since I've been crippled 'neath this burden I must bear.

The mark of Cain, the child of pain of trouble and of war
Mother nature cannot comfort nor the coolness of the sea
Lord above, how can I love this thing that I abhor?
Child of pain is growing in me

Within me he is waging war battling for breath
Battling for blood and a body of his own
I've considered the solution but that would be my death
For while I've waited and debated, he has grown

Deep in my heart, I wish I could love him
Erase our past with a mother's embrace
I want to start fresh but within me I'm fearful...
Will I find my opressor in his tiny face?

The mark of Cain, the child of pain of trouble and of war
Mother nature cannot comfort nor the coolness of the sea
Lord above, how can I love this thing that I abhor?
Child of pain is growing in me

Deep in my heart, I wish I could love him
Erase our past with a mother's embrace
I want to start fresh but within me I'm fearful...
Will I find my opressor in his tiny face?

The mark of Cain, the child of pain of trouble and of war
Mother nature cannot comfort nor the coolness of the sea
Lord above, how can I love this thing that I abhor?
Child of rape is growing in me.
Child of rape is growing in me.
Child of rape is growing in me, growing in me, growing in me


9 - All is well
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Another day, another small town
A summer breeze
The bougainvillaea is still in bloom, his room
(Phone rings, no one answers)

The morning comes, they take their showers
They go to work, they do their hours
It's a routine, they lean on.
(Phone rings, no one answers)

His books are on the shelf
Craving curious fingers
His favorite after-shave lingers still...

(Phone rings, no one answers)
(Phone rings, no one answers)

The evening news, they hear them saying
Tonight's the game, his team is playing
They go to bed instead.
(Phone rings, no one answers)

Out in the quiet street
One stray dog is crying
And if their eyes don't meet
All is well.

(Phone rings, no one answers)
(Phone rings, no one answers)
All is well...


10 - Camilla
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Camilla, come here
Camilla, come over here
Where are you hiding?
Come out, come out, Camilla

Camilla, come here
Camilla, come over here
Where are you hiding?
Come out, come out, Camilla

Don't raise your head, don't raise your eyes
Don't ever uncover your mouth
Don't let me ever see you cry or laugh or shout
Don't raise your standards too high
Don't raise your standards too high
Don't you go reading
Don't you go reading
Just keep breeding

Camilla, come here
Camilla, come over here
Where are you hiding?
Come out, come out, Camilla

Don't raise your head, don't raise your eyes
Don't ever uncover your mouth
Don't let me ever see you cry or laugh or shout
Don't raise your standards too high
Don't raise your standards too high
Don't you go reading
Don't you go reading
Just keep breeding

And the bird of paradise flies
Somewhere in the jungle
Her colors brilliant and bright
Her rapture free and wild
So beautiful it'd make you cry...
So beautiful it'd make you cry...
But that's far away from here.


11 - Manhattan - Tel-Aviv
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Manhattan - Tel Aviv,
With a detour to the deep southside
Where it's very violent
A bouquet of violets lies trampled to the ground

Manhattan - Tel Aviv,
With a detour to the deep southside
Where it's very violent
A bouquet of violets lies trampled to the ground

Falling, calling, tryin' to survive
Doin' a quick-step keeping in stride
Falling, calling, tryin' to survive
Doin' a quick-step keeping in stride
With the changing tide

Manhattan - Tel Aviv
With a detour to the deep southside
Where it's hot and steamy
Don't go around too dreamy, you'll be trampled to the ground

Falling, calling, tryin' to survive
Doin' a quick-step keeping in stride
Falling, calling, tryin' to survive
Doin' a quick-step keeping in stride
With the changing tide

Can I find a future here? Everything is so unclear
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Can I ever find a life under threat of fire and knife
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Changing tide, changing tide, changing tide...

Manhattan - Tel Aviv,
With a detour to the deep southside
It's a game we play
And it's very scary with all those maniacs running around, you know

Manhattan - Tel Aviv,
With a detour, 18 years old
Caught under the wheels
It's a pretty bad deal but this is my hometown

Falling, calling, tryin' to survive
Doin' a quick-step keeping in stride
Falling, calling, tryin' to survive
Doin' a quick-step keeping in stride
With the changing tide
Changing tide, changing tide, changing tide…


12 - Cascading
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down
Cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down

Hair, on my shoulders bare
It's there to extend the soul
It's long to cage it would be wrong
Like my mother's song gently unfolds

Cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down
Cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down

Stream, careless and serene
It flows between the boulders
It's cool, Angel on a stool
Drops on her shoulders

Cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down
Cascading, cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down

Wish I could fall like a baby's sleep
When a baby dreams what a baby feels
Run away from this place with its big old words and big ideals...
And big ideals

Now you, look what you have done
You've come and crossed the border
Oh, no! What do I do now?
Guess I'll jump into your water...

Cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling down
Cascading, cascading, tumbling, tumbling
Falling, falling, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down


13 - Savior
(Noa / Noa-G. Dor)

Savior, my savior
Pouring out over desert sands
Through parched skin and madness
On chamber after chamber
'Til it's all run out
But, oh, my savior, my savior

You said remember, you said remember
Remember when you're all dried out
That which was sacred
That which was sacred
Remember

Savior, my savior
Pouring out over desert sands
Through parched skin and madness
On chamber after chamber
'Til it's all run out
But, oh, my savior, my savior

You said remember, you said remember
Remember when you're all dried out
That which was sacred
That which was sacred
Remember

Savior, my savior
Pouring out over desert sands
Through parched skin and madness
On chamber after chamber
Parched skin and madness.
