Nothing But A Song 03:41
lyrics
Nothing but a song Your eyes say all that your mouth cannot say And I, I want to fly Fly like the birds over the lake In the early dawn With nothing on my mind Nothing but a song. Your hands Say all that your head will not dare And I, I want to cry, Cry out your name into the night… Till the early dawn With nothing on my lips, Nothing but a song. Wake up and see me, I’m right here beside you Or over the ocean in some foreign land Where’s there’s sand and there’s sand Or I’m high in a tower with cars down below Or I’m deep in the snow Here again I’m beside you, my heart seeking out your embrace Though I don’t really know you, I see in your face There is goodness, a child playing ball in the street dreaming always of dolphins… Your smile Is all that the world can’t destroy And we, we want to see Though all the pain, and all the tears… All that has gone wrong.. With nothing in our hearts… Nothing but a song.

Eternity & Beauty 02:44
lyrics
Eternity and Beauty Eyes as blue as the wind And everything inside waiting to begin… Where is the child that used to dream of a train Over the plains and the sky where the sparrows fly at dawn, along the lines of a cloud… in eyes as deep as the rain There’s no way to explain it .. How you make me feel when I’m near you… Eternity and beauty from a distant place join hands and take a bow..…

Mere Words 04:02
lyrics
Mere Words All these songs of love's first flight they don't sing ours just right So I stayed up half the night to write a song of love for you There are the words that say these things I don’t know one that brings all the joy that I could sing in a song of love for you This is crazy,I'm so hazy and not so sure of myself All the love I feel in my heart for you a mere song couldn't handle guess I'll abandon this project Who am I foolin'? I’m no poet just thought if you didn't know yet that I need your love to see me through This is crazy I'm so hazy and not so sure of myself All the love I feel in my heart for you a mere song couldn't handle guess I'll abandon this project Who am I foolin'? I’m no poet just thought if you didn't know yet that I need your love to see me through Yes, I'm a failure I couldn't see my way through to the end I know we're not through, my friend there's so much still left for us to do cause' there's no one quite like you no, there's no one quite like you

Happy Song 02:48
lyrics
Happy Song I want to write a happy song Forget for a moment all that is wrong Concentrate on all that’s right Like the stars that sparkle in the night Like your eyes when they are ready for my loving.. I wiggle my toes in the warm, warm sand I hold the sunlight in my hand I tickle my daughter and watch her laugh We skip together down the path And all of god’s creation comes alive for us.. Tudutudutudu There is a plan but we don’t know it Tudutudutudu There is a way, or maybe two.. Tudutudutudu And I will sing a happy song for you, Even when my heart is breaking into Twodutudutudu.. Lalalalalala There is a love and it is growing.. Lalalalalala There is a lot that we can do.. Tudutudutudu And I will sing a happy song for you, Even when my heart is breaking into Twodutudutudu.. I wish that I could close my eyes And wake up where the sun will rise The sun that paints the edge of night In red and purple shades of light Reminding me that somewhere there’s a dream coming.. True!dutudutudu… There is a plan but we don’t know it Tudutudutudu There is a way, or maybe two.. Tudutudutudu And I will sing a happy song for you, Even when my heart is breaking into Twodutudutudu.. Lalalalalala There is a love and it is growing.. Lalalalalala There is a lot that we can do.. Tudutudutudu And I will sing a happy song for you, Even when my heart is breaking into Twodutudutudu.

Shalom 03:31
lyrics
Peace Crept into the chambers of my heart And filled my soul Peace Like a storm from a distant place That suddenly sweeps e away And I am no longer bound in chains.. Peace Thousands in the city square Suddenly, shots in the air Years and the flame has not dimmed But y heart longs for more.. And will not reast until to comes.. Peace. And here you are, And here I am A moment of hope The cannons blast The children sing And here…a tear… At the end My feet will take me far away To the dock at the end of the horizon And the sunset will thrill my eyes Like the waves crying for the shore like the heart asking: when?

Don't Be Afraid 03:48
lyrics
Don’t be afraid of anything My son This sun may not always shine on you My boy This joy may not always be your lot My girl This world may not always call your name The sea you see, May drown all your dreams But you, raise your chin Don’t you let those demons in Don’t be afraid of anything… My child Complied in every book you’ll read Beauty, wisdom And secrets untold My friend, No end to the questions you may ask but who hears you when you dare break the mold…? then you, raise your chin. Don’t you let those demons in.. Don’t be afraid of anything Don’t be afraid of anything…. remember the light from whence you came.. remember, and go back again….. remember the light from whence you came.. remember! and go back again….. don’t be afraid of anything! My son This sun may not always shine on you Breath deep Don’t keep your fist forever clenched.. Don’t be afraid of anything….

Look At The Moon 03:23
lyrics
Look at he moon Look at the moon my love…the way it glimmers in the night.. We are not the first nor the last basking in her light Do you think she sees how your eyes when they look certain then surprised , could make the coldest iceberg melt.. Look at the moon my love…the way she whispers to a star… We are not the first nor the last to adore her from afar… Do you think the moon understands the simple beauty of your hands, when they are longing to be held… Do you think she knows the language of our prayers? Do you think she knows, or even cares? Do you think she hears our names? In her eyes we’re all the same … From her cradle way above.. The moon sees only love… Look at the moon my dear… at all the stories she can tell We are not the first nor the last to fall under her spell… Do you think she hears my heart, breaking the loneliness apart, wishing my mouth could be as bold… Do you think she knows the language of our prayers? Do you think she knows, or even cares? Do you think she hears our names? In her eyes we’re all the same … From her cradle way above.. The moon sees only love… Look at the moon..she knows.. That every moment something grows. We are not the first nor the last, to trust her with our woes.. I know the moon would rise, if she could only see your eyes, if she could understand the power they have over every song I sing…..

Little Star 04:49
lyrics
Little Star Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder why you are down here.. What are you doing on my father’s coat? Why are you spoiling my mother’s dress? No..i don’t want to guess.. I’d rather close my eyes, Like a diamond in the sky… Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder why you are so dim? What are you doing with a big black name? Sewn with a needle and a thread of shame? Maybe this is just a grown-up’ game? I’d rather close my eyes, Like a diamond in the sky… Ooh, Who am I today? Ooh, Who was I before? Twinkle, twinkle, I will sing, For tomorrow always brings, Opportunities to begin again Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder why you are Right here… Hear my heart beat where you lie Thunder is rolling in a clear blue sky No I don’t want to cry! I’d rather close my eyes, Like a diamond in the sky… Ooh, Who am I today? Ooh, Who was I before? Twinkle, twinkle, I will sing, For tomorrow always brings, Opportunities to begin, again… She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes She’ll be carrying six white horses too.. One white horse for every million, Next she’s coming round for me and you! Twinkle , twinkle, silent night All is calm but nothing’s bright down here.. Woe, when a mother and her child Fear for their lives as they run and hide I’m trembling inside, Please let me close my eyes , And sleep in heavenly peace…

Deep As Your Eyes 02:18
lyrics
Deep as your eyes there’s a time of day i get melancholy something i can’t explain when I watch the sky turning red and holy promising morning rain i feel a cold wind in my heart and just before i start to cry a love as deep as your eyes, deep as your eyes.. there’s a time of day, it’s a changing hour all my defences fall then I close myself like a gentle flower nobody hears my call where can i find a friend, a voice who can erase the tears, the lies with a love as deep as your eyes, deep as your eyes.. love without questions or fear.. now and here, hear me hear me.... I feel a cold wind in my heart and just before i start to cry a love as deep as your eyes, your love is deep as your eyes..

about

Dear friends
This album has been simmering slowly in our minds over the past four years, and now finally we have brought together the best of our musical offerings, our “Love Medicine”. The collection includes songs inspired by interesting people and places, like “Nothing but a Song” and “Happy Song”, inspired by Milton Nascimento and Joao Bosco, our Hebrew version of a Gilberto Gil song called “Shalom- A paz” (all three our tribute to Brazil and its great artists) and a gorgeous new tune by Pat Metheny that I wrote lyrics to (a poetic sketch of the man and his genius!), featuring his gorgeous playing. Thank you Pat, our one and only!!
We are also honored to have a duet with the wonderful Spanish singer-songwriter/poet/philosopher/painter Joaquin Sabina, whom Gil and I admire greatly: the song “You” was written after an inspiring meeting with him at his amazing home in Madrid, where he has 30,000 books!! He translated my lyrics into Spanish, recreating the song in his own inimitable style. Gracias Joaquin!
The album also includes two additional covers: one is the great classic Bangles song “eternal flame”, co-written by (and dedicated to!) our friend Billy Steinberg. The other is a less known but absolutely lovely song by Bobby McFerrin, whom we had the honor of sharing the stage with last year.
“Don’t be afraid of anything” is dedicated to my children…Ayehli, Enea and Yum. In “look at the moon” I tried to finally fulfill that famous Paul Simon lyric I’ve known since my teens: “if you wanna write a song about the moon, if you wanna write a spiritual tune …just do it, write a song about the moon.” :-). “Little star” is my first attempt to ever to write a song about the Holocaust. I don’t think I can do better as a songwriter than this song. I have seldom felt as proud of any piece of my own work.
“Deep as your eyes” is a song that has been hiding with Gil and me for many years, and here, it has finally come into the light…through the tears, what joy…
The last song on the album is our message to all of you, and the torch by which we live our lives: “love your brother, and sister, as you love yourself”.
Hope you enjoy :-)
