http://psychosync.info/flash/music/flash/" rel="nofollow - http://psychosync.info/flash/music/flash/ It's on their official homepage. Just click on the song titles for the lyrics to each song on the album. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

I don't know if Sherry is posting much these days, but I'm pretty sure she has them if you can not find them in the internet. I'm sincerely hoping she is ok, because I have not seen, or heard from her at all, even in this board, and that is sad ... I have a feeling she is not doing too well if the recent events, and I would like to cheer her up ...  ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Hey Moshkito, I just saw this thread and wondered what "recent events" you were talking about? Pete's death? Hadn't seen him for years. Anyway, as you now know all is going VERY well. The new Flash album, "Flash featuring Ray Bennett & Colin Carter" was released May 21, 2013 on Cleopatra Records!  |

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Chuck, but I'm a peaceful soul, wouldn't kick anyone, anywhere.  Just to make it easy to "snag" the new Flash CD... http://www.amazon.com/Featuring-Ray-Bennett-Colin-Carter/dp/B00BY8DLF8/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365205161&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=flash+featuring+rob+bennett" rel="nofollow - http://www.amazon.com/Featuring-Ray-Bennett-Colin-Carter/dp/B00BY8DLF8/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365205161&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=flash+featuring+rob+bennett |

Unfortunately, for an official website there are several misspellings in the lyrics that give it a less than official look.
“Grey hazes is lifting” “awaken now you’re other self” “Far way a ship rides on a raging storm” “On a distance shore, so many fought and fell” And that’s just the first album. Whoever did the keying was too lazy to proofread I guess.

Hi David and Robert (Brainstormer), Sorry for the incorrect lyrics and typos. I hate to see that happen, too. Psychosync.info isn't an official band site and the band isn't responsible for any of the material found there, though they have tried to help with information from time to time. It's a fan site that has been maintained by a fan for many, many years as a labor of love. The band doesn't yet have its own site, they've been totally focussed on the music since the reunion, so we're linking to this fan site for now because it has the best all-around collection of info available at present, and we're glad to have the opportunity to acknowledge this fan's loyalty and effort.. Now that the new CD is done, I've asked Ray and Colin to correct the lyrics and we'll pass them along to the site asap.

Well, that was fast! I asked Ray and Colin for the lyrics and Ray sent his two songs right away. Still waiting to hear from Colin. I'll post them here to speed things up. Morning Haze ©1971 Ray Bennett Mysteries that stay unsolved Fumbling for that pot of gold Understanding lacks in days gone by Lions call or motor car Vision halts, can't see too far Looking through a haze from today, darkness stops the way Come the dawn Excite me Grey haze is lifting I can see now Grey lady peeps through her window Wonders on my colours She can't really see through morning haze Evening falls and smothers her window She can't see no more The day was too short, but green eyes met mine Come the dawn Excite me Grey haze is lifting I can see now Do do do ………… etc Loving slumber warms my heart My dreams are pierced now by you Spirit rises, greeting morning haze Evening falls and smothers her window She can't see no more The day was too short, but green eyes met mine Come the dawn Excite me Grey haze is lifting I can see now Come the dawn Excite me Grey haze is lifting I can see now Come the dawn Excite me Grey haze is lifting I can see now Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Children Of The Universe © 1971 Ray Bennett Children of the universe As much as sky and seaway You have a right to be here Keep your soul in company With graceful spirit 'round you Be alive with sympathy La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La oh oh oh oh All the worldly prophets say Believe in guardian angels Banish thoughts of misery Be prepared to live your life With little on your table Save your hunger for your soul La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La oh oh oh oh When the crimson ribbon light of dawn surprises you Awaken now your other self When the darkness demons call your name out loud and clear It must be known you cannot hear Love the girl and feel the world Get a little warmer Feel the touch of ecstasy Maybe someday we will learn As much as all we need to And you can be a child again La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La oh oh oh oh When the princess fell to sleep and angel voices sing And you set free your darkness fears When the crimson ribbon light of dawn surprises you Awaken now your other self (Instrumental) Children of the universe As much as sky and seaway You have a right to be here Keep your soul in company With graceful spirit 'round you Be alive with sympathy La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La Ouvya, Ouvya La oh oh oh oh |

Hi Sherry,
Thanks for clearing that up. That was my inner English teacher you saw in action there.  Right now I'm trying to keep him from informing you of the typos in your own post. 
Anyway, glad I could help get the ball rolling on that, and that Ray and Colin were able to respond so quickly. All three Flash albums have been longtime favorites of mine, esp. the first. Since this thread is about the lyrics, what's the origin of "La Ouvya"? Was it a more-or-less random chant or is there a specific source? |

Typos...plural? i found one and corrected it, but where's the other, Teach? Do tell. You've got me scratching my head! Does this mean I get an A-? La Ouvya was carefully crafted to fit, Ray says. No meaning or source.So glad you like the music. Have you got the new one yet? Did you go to the facebook site and "Like" them? Lots of stuff going on over there... http://www.facebook.com/FlashFeaturingRayBennettColinCarter" rel="nofollow - |

Ah...I think you'll find either spelling is correct, focused or focussed. Hope you like the new music.

Finally got the rest of the lyrics for the first Flash album from Colin... SMALL BEGINNINGS © Carter/Banks In the morning when you start your day In the rush and hustle of your day Take your time and work it out, then maybe you’ll see In the darkness of a brand new day Take your time and work it out, then maybe you’ll see In the morning when you start your day Repeat 4 times In the darkness of a brand new day In the morning when you start your day Repeat 4 times In the morning when you start your day Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Repeat 4 X Doo doo doo doo doo doo DREAMS OF HEAVEN © Carter/Banks The sky is turning grey and Stone street Glass moon New dawn The sky is turning grey and The sky is turning grey and Diamond cut Easy To Brush stroke No words can say feelings today The time has come to pay back everything you owe What are the chances of finding the answers There are some people who sit and they think The sky is turning grey and Repeat 3 times Never again Repeat 4 times TIME IT TAKES © Carter/Banks In the time it takes for me to sing this song The princess sitting in her prison tower Far away a ship rides on a raging storm
