She's come undun She didn't know what she was headed for And when she found what she was headed for It was too late...
She's come undun She found a moutain that was far too high And she found out she couldn't fly And it was too late...
Now it's too late, She's gone too far She's lost the sun...
She's come undun She wanted truth but all she got was lies Came the time to realise That it was too late...
She's come undun She didn't know what she was headed for And when she found what she was headed for It was too late...
Now it's too late, She's gone too far She's lost the sun... She's come undun (2x)
Too many moutains And not enough stairs to climb Too many churches And not enough truth to find Too many people And not enough eyes to see Too many lies to lead And not enough time...
She's come undun She didn't know what she was headed for And when she found what she was headed for It was too late...

There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he, And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return

Minuano Music by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays Lyric by Kurt Elling Originally titled "Minuano (Six Eight)" from the 1987 recording Still Life (Talking)
Day comes slowly - absorbing the darknesses softly. Night leaves gently - her beauty is spent, and she rises. I step into the lightness - I hear you. You're calling me out of my sadness. Your flowering wonders are calling me home.
Darkness lingers - but always surrenders to loving. Darkest midnight - is swallowed in oceans of laughter. I follow into lightness - I hear you. You're calling me out of my sadness. Your flowering wonders are calling me home.
Dancing along a dawn that leads to you - Singing a song that blossoms in a fugue as morning settles on Dreaming into a sky of brilliant blue - Noticing clouds are whispering that you will dance with me very soon
Already been as high as Kathmandu - `Willing to go as far as Timbuktu Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today - maybe today will finally be the day
Flying along a dawn that leads to you - Singing a song that makes itself anew - a music magic wand Reaching into a sky of brilliant blue - eagles are calling out to say the you will dance me very soon
Already been as high as Kathmandu - Willing to go as far a Timbuktu Nowhere's too far away - I may catch up with you today - maybe today we'll make our getaway! Like light from the stars made ten thousand years ago - comes love, like a gift of sight Growing stronger every moment on the way home.
