01. Way To Mandalay
"A journey across the moors. A path well traveled when searching for the realm of a gypsy fortune-teller. But when the cards tell you something that you can't believe it is up to take the road less traveled. Do you blindly believe the cards, what you think you know to be true. It is a long road but you can decide on the Way to Mandalay.

02. 3 Black Crows
"Somehow fitting in this time that we live in that we struggle to understand. The birds soar overhead laughing at us and our ways. They live a life of simplicity — one we may never achieve."

03. Diamonds and Rust
"An incredible song written by Joan Baez."

04. Cartouche
"Inspired by the black kitchen of the 16th century in the underground of Prague, Czech Republic. A cauldron filled with the sights, smells and taste of the underworld. A bubbling brew of madness. In Egypt thousands of years ago pharaohs and kings believed that if you have your own Cartouche you will insure your immortality."

05. Queen For A Day
"Written from the eyes of a poor peasant girl. Her days are filled with long hours and hard work, but if she could be a Queen… if only for a day … what would she wish for? Ah, well a girl can dream, can't she?"

06. Ivory Tower
"To believe that no matter what your only imprisonment that exits lives within yourself. You hold the key to your own search and own prison."

07. Nur Eine Minute (instrumental)
"Sometimes the best things in a life happen so quickly! In just a minute… Inspired by Chopin…"

08. Ghost Of A Rose
"This song was originally inspired while watching the film Hillary and Jackie about cellist Jaqueline Dupree. When she played Elga's Cello Concerto she was all consumed by the passion of the music. If you have the innocence in your heart see everything as if for the first time if you have a love that transcends lifetime…If you believe you shall always live on."

09. Mr. Peagram's Morris and Sword
"Inspired by Ritchie's childhood teacher who would show the children the ways of Morris Dancing and traditional music in school. His enthusiasm made a deep impression on Ritchie and this is his way of saying 'Thank You'."

10. Loreley
"The legend of Loreley, the siren kept mythical by the rock of that name on the Rhine River in Germany. She would sing a haunting song to sailors and lure them to their deaths. How could you resist the song of Loreley…"

11. Where Are You Going From Here
"Philosophical song about life and the after life. About questions and disappointments. About living and the uncertainty of it all. About constantly searching…

12. Rainbow Blues
"One of our favorite songs by one of our favorite minstrels. A great JETHRO TULL tune."

13. All For One
"Everybody sing along! Taken a traditional melody by Pierre Phalese from the Renaissance."

14. Dandelion Wine
"Written one spring day while outside enjoying a glass of Dandelion Wine and welcoming in the warm weather. We drank a toast to you that day and remembered the moments we laughed together. May there be many more. Another toast!"
