Well I woke up today and found frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky and gobbled summer down
And when the sun turned straight and cold and shiverin'
Trees are standing in a naked row
I get the urge for going and I never seem to go
I had someone in the summer time with summer coloured skin
And not another one in town my darling's heart could win
And when the leaves fell tumbling down and bully winds did rub their faces
in the snow
He got the urge for goin and I had to let him go
Chorus
Well he got the urge for going
When the meadow grasses are turnin' brown
Summer time is a fallin' down
Winter's closing in
And the warriors of winter gave a cold triumphant shout
All that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
You see the geese in chevron flight a flapping and a racing on before the snow
They've got the urge for going and they've got the wings to go
Chorus
I'll pile the fire with kindlin' and pull the blankets to my chin
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and bolt my wanderin' in
I'd like to call back summertime and let her stay for just another month or so
But she's got the urge for goin, and I'll have to let her go
Chorus...

When the morning comes
I gaze on you with desire
When the morning comes
My look will be perfectly plain
When the morning comes
My beloved one
When the morning comes
You'll know that we both feel the same
In the afternoon
Misgivings will pale into nothing
In the afternoon
We'll know what it is to believe
In the afternoon
And I covet you
In the afternoon
I'll give you no reason to leave
Done with time and patience
I moved with the crowd
Lonely in my silence
And being without
Then all in one instant
Straight out of the blue
Out of all its goodness
The summer sent you
Now it's evening time
And I reach for you lying beside me
Now it's evening time
Your kiss will be tender and sure
Now it's evening time
Just like every time
Now it's evening time
I love you as much as before
Done with time and patience
I moved with the crowd
Lonely in my silence
And being without
Then all in one instant
Straight out of the blue
Out of all its goodness
The summer sent you
All in one sweet instant
Straight out of the blue
Out of all its goodness

The moon was bright, the night was clear
No breeze came over the sea
When Mary left her highland home
And wandered forth with me
The flowers be-decked the mountainside
And fragrance filled the vale
But by far the sweetest flower there
Was the Rose of Allendale
Oh the Rose of Allendale
Sweet Rose of Allendale
By far the sweetest flower there
Was the Rose of Allendale
Where e'er I wandered east or west
Though fate began to lour
A solace still was she to me
In sorrow's lonely hour
When tempests lashed our lonely barque
And rent her quivering sail
One maiden's form withstood the storm
'Twas the Rose of Allendale
Oh sweet Rose of Allendale
Sweet Rose of Allendale
One maiden's form withstood the storm
'Twas the Rose of Allendale
And when my fever'd lips were parched
On Afric's burning sands
She whispered hopes of happiness
And tales of distant lands
My life has been a wilderness
Unblessed by fortune's wheel
Had fate not linked my love to hers
The Rose of Allendale
Oh sweet Rose of Allendale
Sweet Rose of Allendale
Had fate not linked my love to hers
The Rose of Allendale

Last year at Lady Mary's fair when I was in Dundee
I fell in with an old sweetheart and he being on a spree
His company I did accept and with him I did go
But to my sad misfortune it proved my poor 'through
We wandered east we wandered west we wandered through the lawn
He said he'd see me home that night but home I never saw
He kept beside me all the while resolved to have his will
And by and by we lost our way, at the back of Rare's Hill
For when we got to Rare's Hill, the laddie said to me
We can't go home tonight my dear, it's far to late you'll see
But the night is warm and in my bush, I've got another drill
And we can lie down here, content, at the back of Rare's Hill
For then he poured a nipper piece to quiet all alarm
When I awoke in the morning we were locked in each other's arms
He handed me the bottle, another glass to fill
And I drank his heath, in store o'wealth, at the back of Rare's Hill
And then the lad he said to me, "Oh lassie do not mourn"
"For while I draw the breath of life from you I'll never harm"
"If you will come to yonder town, my wedded wife you'll be"
"we'll be the happiest couple t'was ever in Dundee"
So it's may I never prosper, and may I never thrive
In anything I take in hand as long as I'm alive
If e'er I say I rue the day, my laddie had his will
Success to Lady Mary's fair, and the back of Rare's Hill.

I do not see the way out
I do not really know how
Like a shot in the dark
Went your hallowed ground
Had you taken too much
Kept me well out of touch
And refused to let me go
I cannot see to you pain
I do not hear you complain
You are now but a dot in the pouring rain
You created this mess now I'm bent to your stress
And it seems to suit you well
One and only two can be lonely
I'm my own child blessed and unholy
I your eyes the storm surely rising up
Do do do do
I do not see the way out
You cannot turn this around
Like a walk in the dark
You have weighed me down
I can't stand in your place
Can't take this away
It was all good to be true
One and only two can be lonely
I'm my own child blessed and unholy
I your eyes a storm surely rising up
Do do do do
Oh you never talk about it
No you never scream about it
You took a spirit young and whole
You turned this child into an old soul
Old soul
One and only two can be lonely
I'm my own child blessed and unholy
I your eyes a storm surely rising up
Do do do do
Oh you never talk about it
No you never scream about it
You covet things that you don't own
You turn this child into and old soul
Old sould
One and only two can be lonely
I'm my own child blessed and unholy
I your eyes a storm surely rising up
One and only two can be lonely
I'm my own child blessed and unholy
I your eyes a storm surely rising up

Oh my Donald he works on the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sails
While southward he rolls to the home of the whale
And he ne'er thinks o' me far behind
Nor the torments that rage in my mind
He's mine for only part of the year
And I'm left all alone with only my tears
Ye ladies that smell of wild rose
Think ye for your perfume to where a man goes
Think ye o' the wives and the babies that yearn
For a man ne'er returning from hunting the sperm
My Donald he works on the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and sets the sails
While southward he rolls to the home of the whale

Tumbling curls of green by stainglass streaming light
And a yellow coloured lampshade used to keep us up all night
And the smile upon her face, the tears upon your cheek
And the night sky on the window
Your heart calling out to me.
Chorus
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
The mirror that won't talk and your nightgown on the door
And the old pedal Singer just don't sing no more
You can roll the reels for hours
From the movie of this book
It's a question mark on this heart of mine
sends an elder back to look.
Chorus
Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
With the genius of a druid when the sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't anyway
'Cause though I made the great escape
I never got away.
Chorus

Something about this is precious, Something about this is sad
Something about this is better, Than I've ever had
Hard and lean, You know what I mean?
How do the roots become tangled? Why does the spirit grow tired?
Where is the key to your kingdom? Yes that's my desire.
CHORUS:
There are those who live to count the cost
And then those who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, In a dream, This living dream.
Up in a heap I'm not bothered, Down in the dumps I'm okay
Here in my heart you're the best road, That I'll ever take, I'm serene yeh.
CHORUS:
There are those who live to take the chance
And then more who find themselves content
I see heaven mapped out in advance
It is you and that's my journeys end, In a dream, This living dream.
I'm trying to hang on to the essence, I'm feeling more faint by the day
It took such a long time to get it, I don't want to see it erased
CHORUS:
There are those who live to count the cost
And then more who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, In a dream, This living dream
This living dream.

O Come all ye maids who live at a distance
Many's a mile from off your sway
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For me heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
When I sleep I dream about you
When I wake I take no rest
Every moment thinking on you
My heart o'er fixed in your breast
But although far distance
May be of assistance
If from my mind your love remove
For me heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
All the world shall be of one religion
All living things shall cease to die
If ever I should prove false to my jewel
Or any way his love deny
Oh the world shall change
And be most strange
If from my mind your love remove
For me heart is with him altogether
Though I live not where I love
So farewell lad and farewell lassies
Now I think I've made my choice
I will away to yonder mountain
Where I think I hear his voice
And if he hollows I will follow
Around the world though it is so wide
For young Thomas he did promise
I should be his lawful bride
Repeat first verse.

Phone calls and taxi-rides
And somebody's leaving
Misunderstandings get out of control
And the right words get left
And the wrong words get spoken
He's gone but not your pride
Chorus
Not much can help
The full heart that's breaking
Can't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to the bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
Look at you now
You're the picture of sorrow
Head in your hands
Like a scene from a movie
And all of the things
That seemed so important
Are leaves and are blowing away
Chorus
Nothing can help
The full heart that's breaking
You can't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to the bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
Walk through this town
On a cold Sunday morning
Soldiers in uniforms
Guns in their hands
The world all caught up
With barbed wire fences
I'm free I'm free as stone
Chorus
Oh nothing can help
The full heart that's breaking
Won't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
You're free free as stone

It was one of those days
When to shine was of no value
One of those days
When the language had no grace
We were miles apart
And I stood there with my head spinning
Just another poor soul
Trying hard not to lose faith
We had it engraved
We had the key to a union
But you wanted more
So we both kept on losing
Fat valley of pain
Fat valley of pain inside
And this pain will not end
'Cause loving you is what I was made for
You were like one of those rainbows
We glimpse for a few seconds
One of those dreams
That could last for a life long
Now I'm quizzing myself
And it's always the same question
Is it wrong to believe
When the feeling so so strong?
We had engraved
We had the key to a union
But you wanted more
So we both kept on losing
It's an ill-kept secret
That something here's going wrong
Oh but my helpless feelings
They keep on leading me on
Fat valley of pain
Fat valley of pain inside
And this pain will not end
'Cause loving you is what I was made for
Fat valley of pain

Better keep your distance from this whale
Better keep your boat from going astray
Find yourself a partner and treat them well
Try to give them shelter night and day
'Cause here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
You can't even feel right
So you dream of Columbus
Ever time the panic starts
You dream of Columbus
With your maps and your beautiful charts
You dream of Columbus
With an ache in your travelling heart
See how the cormorant swoops and dives
Must be some thrill to go that deep
Down to the basement of this life
Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps
Not like here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded
You can't even feel alright
Chorus
And as tide must ebb and flow
I am dragged down under
And I wait the livelong day
For an end to my hunger
So I dream of Columbus
Every time that the panic starts
I dream of Columbus
With my maps and my beautiful charts
I dream of Columbus
And there's peace in a traveling heart
I dream of Columbus

Long long before I put a face on love
The one thing I knew was that
Like anything love can surprise you
One kiss and you brought me a lifetime
Do you know what that means to me
You give me the answer to whether I bleed
Deep in the darkest night oh, I wake you
To tell you I know that life is so beautiful with you
And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt
This open road
Is long and beautiful
For every minute you need me I want to need you
In every fear life is brand new
Deep in the darkest night oh, I wake you
And tell you I know that life is so beautiful with you
And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt
This open road
Is long and beautiful
And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt
This open road
Is long and beautiful
And time will tell
What hurt and what I felt
This open road
Is long and beautiful
And time will tell

When I lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my minds on happiness, yes
Some of the time but not for long
I get a feeling of something that's yet to come
I get a picture telling me what's undone
Chorus
When I find out that you don't love me honey
When I find out that your going away
There'll be no surprise
Because I saw you running
Saw you running from where I lay
There'll be no surprise
Because I saw you running
Saw you running from where I lay
Well I've got an eye upon the road
And I've got a hand to hold my heavy load oh yes
I've got a man and I've got a gun
One is for fighting oh the other one is just for fun
One is for fighting oh the other one is just for fun
Chorus
When I lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my minds on happiness, yes
Some of the time but not for long
I get a feeling of something that's yet to come
I get a picture telling me what's undone
2x Chorus

Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
Cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world's on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride
Ring the bells St.Peter
Where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand
For the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow
Ring them bells Sweet Martha
For the poor man's son
Ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one
Oh the shephered is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains they are filled
With lost sheep
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the day is through
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When the innocence dies
Ring them bells St.Catherine
From the top of the room
Ring the bells from the fortress
For the lillies that bloom
For the lines they are long
And the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong

My heart is low, My heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
The tears that drip from my bewildered eyes
Taste of bittersweet romance
You're still in my hopes
You're still on my mind oh
And even though I manage on my own
My heart is low, My heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman, only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
When restless eyes reveal my troubled soul
And memories flood my weary heart
I mourn for my dreams
I mourn for my wasted love
And while I know that I'll survive alone
My heart is low, My heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman, only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know

Cast my boat out to the ocean
and set it sails to the wind
Gentle breeze blowing into my heart
I'm alive in this gentle world
A life carefree
A life carefree
And in this love that you give me
You have to share the joy and mystery
The wonder of your smile
and the power of your words
That changes me
That changes me
Sometimes I could fly
When your heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
and all because of you
Gave my heart to another love
Crashing waves of pain came over me
In my distress you came and rescued me
Still the storm talked away
Of life carefree
Of life carefree
Sometimes I could fly
When your heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
and all because of you
When I found myself far away from you
Thats when I hear your voice
Reminding me, calling me, lifting me
Out into the blue
Out into the blue
Sometimes I could fly
When you heart it touches mine
Deep into the blue
Where my soul is lost
and all because of you

If I gave my heart to you
Would you promise to be true
It would break my heart in two
If you left me waiting anticipating
Till some other magic day
I may steal your heart away
Then you would take my hand
And then understand me
When you'd really see me
In a world of different dreams
Where all things aren't what they seem
When you would take my hand
If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart to you
For only truth remains
Cause all things are just the same
The excepting part of truth
If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart
If I gave my heart to you

I know it's the same old song I'm singing
But this time these words are just for you
That's the only thing that's new
I know that I've sung about a million
Borrowed lines and phrases from a few
This one's till as good as new
Without the fanfare I love you
By day I move words around like flowers
I deliver by the afternoon
";Cause the piper calls the tune
Today I made full use of the hours
I explored the smallest avenue
And that feeling still came through
Without the fanfare I love you
Sure I've lost my way sometimes
But I've had to pay
Sometimes I've gone completely overboard
Moved a million phrases round, tried to make them leave the ground
Still the only line that's soared
Bidding all the rest Adieu
Sounding still as good as new
Without the fanfare I love you
Hello, do I still have your attention?
I forgot to mention thanks again from the captain and the crew
And so without the sweet perfume or roses
I hope you can still believe it's true
Stripped of all that much ado
Without the fanfare I love you
Without the fanfare I love you

Like a jazz refrain the midnight train is callin'
Hey, you'd best go soon the late night moon is fallin'
Let the nightbirds whisper to themselves
This train pulls out at twelve
High tides breakin' on the shores, church bell tolls
Chorus:
There's a train that leaves tonight
I might just ride on
Nothin' here that makes me wanna stay
There's a train that leaves tonight
I might just ride away
I just can't hope to tell you 'bout the stillness and the quiet
'Bout the frozen fields so lonely and the train songs in the night
About the sounds of nothin' moving, night fields all aglow
I simply got to leave you my heart cries out to go
Chorus

The sheep's in the meadow
The cow's in the corn
Now is the time for a child to be born
You'll laugh at the moon and you'll cry for the sun
And if it's a boy he'll carry a gun
Sang the crow on the cradle
And if it should be that this baby's a girl
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
With rings on her fingers DNA bells on her toes
A shadow above her wherever she goes
Sang the crow on the cradle
The crow on the cradle
The black on the white
Somebody's baby is born for a fight
The crow on the cradle
The white on the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Sang the crow on the cradle
Bring me my gun and I'll shoot
that bird dead
That's what your mother and
father once said
A crow on the cradle what can we do
This is the thing I must leave up to you
Sang the crow on the cradle

I
Once in a while I can smile that old smile
And I know I'm in trouble again
Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder
Will turn you again and again
Chorus
I couldn't change it, I've never arranged it
That's what the strange bit's always been
II
O give me the time and the sweet taste of wine
And I'll tell you that story again
Of the look in his eye long before all the lies
and the parting began to begin
Chorus
III
Strange thing this ol' love business
Strange thing this ol' love
Strange thing this love business
Look what love has done to us
IV
O the making you cry and the saying good-bye
And the whole damn thing is insane
Even though you get older that old tap on the shoulder
will turn you again and again
Chorus & repeat III

I
City walls where the neon spits as it falls
Two dark shadows fade in the night
This is no place for love
and in the park where the streetlight kisses the dark
Silent waves and times they're own
They'll have their own way now
II
In the nighttime neon sunset leaps
out of the heart of the city streets
To the pavement where the dancing girls go down
to another world
Where the bright lights always sine
From the pale love and the painted face
cheap disguises of another race
Where the sweet life and the flowing wine makes me
Light in my head Dan takes the trouble off my mind
But I know that goes so far
Chorus
We could be like lovers too dancing in this frozen room
Hold me, hold me, stand so close
Take the time don't leave, don't leave me here there's danger
III
I heard the voices in the night, flashing in the hills
The smell of burning on the wind
We could be in danger from the strangers here inside
From the glory in their lives
And the passion in their eyes
Chorus & repeat II

I
Seems like the morning lights hereafter
Can weigh much more than you can hold
Somehow tomorrow's lines and laughter
Can turn around and look so cold
II
And you can hang your head in sorrow
The restless nights when troubles come
And stand alone and face tomorrow
And know not why but what has been undone
Chorus
How you gonna hold on to that greatest dream of all?
How you gonna hold on when you need to fall?
III
I know it breaks your heart to wonder
What it was he'd ever said or done
There'll be no sleep amongst the thunder
There'll be silence but no peace after he's gone
Chorus & repeat III

A tall tree turn and face the west
Oh we're running with the wind
A high clifftop we're waiting with the rest
For this journey to begin
Chorus
But these broken wings won't fly
These broken wings won't fly
These broken wings won't fly at all
And Oh how we laugh but maybe we should crawl
And ask to be excused
We shout loudly, have answers to it all
Oh but we have been refused
Chorus
Girl child
You're dancing with the stream
Growing with the silver trees
Your young questions
You ask me what it means
Oh but I am not at ease
Chorus

Remember when we walked on hills of heather
Singing weaving mystical rings
Now in a while my precious child
You wil unfurl your wings
And I'll have lost what I believed
Had promised everything
But before you go my friend, my kind companion
Listen to this song I sing
Then go in peace and grow in grace and goodness
Know that you have nothing to fear
And dry your eyes my little one
And let there be no tears
Send me a dream from away beyond
I promise I shall hear
Oh beautifull beloved soul companion
Thank you for those beautifull years
And heaven hold and watch your way forever
May your every dream com true
Forgive all wrong, always be strong
And do what you must do
You stand before this open door
And you must now go through
My precious friend, my own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you
My precious friend, myu own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of Barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
As you walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of Barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of Barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
As you lie in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields or Barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of Barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

Big bad man's law doesn't carry much sway
When you come around here
You can still scratch my back
And I can still change sides
Don't carry no torch 'til you have it in type
That I'm doing okay
It's only one man's outlook
It could be one more lie
Look at it closely
Counterfeit mostly
Yesterdays's brushwork
Using yesterdays' paint
And everything that I believe
And every note that you receive
They're just vanities to you
Hear that Liverpool wind as I'm making my way
For the very last time
Is this a resurrection?
And do you really care?
I can't relish no kiss 'til I happen to hear
Your honeycomb nouns
Let you down so often
I'll do the same again
Look at it closely
Counterfeit mostly
Yesterday's stories
It's the same all over the world
And everything that I believe
And every note that you receive
They're just vanities to you
Busy little bodies have a story to tell
Even if it goes against the grain
Tiny little seeds have got an ocean to swell
But who am I to rock the boat
And everything that I believe
And every note that you receive
Look at it closely
Counterfeit mostly
Yesterday's brushwork
Using yesterday's pain
Look at it closely
Counterfeit mostly
Yesterday's stories
It's the same all over the world

Love showed me it's riches late last spring
Took me to it's breast and gave me wings
I truly did believe
And still I was deceived
Love made me it's witness one fine spring
Life seemed dark and beautiful at once
All mixed upside down and back to front
It was hard to know what's what
The light went on and off
Life was stark and plentiful at once
Maybe time really does heal wounds
Maybe love doesn't know
A mere heartbeat from happiness
A stone's throw from the soul
Days lived with a will
Days as fine as can be
Days grace on my morning pillow
Days I'm longing to see
Sunlight blows the winter one last kiss
Me I hold my breath and make my wish
We live through thick and thin
Where evil sometimes wins
Me I try my best and think of this
That maybe time really does heal wounds
And maybe love doesn't know
A mere heartbeat from happiness
A stone's throw from the sould

I cannot stop this child from touching me
I see not fault in watching her bloom
She knows where fire begins and where sparks might fly
Yet I feel she may be consumed.
She done turns on the B stage
She shook hands when the shoe fit
I wanna know how the land lies
I'll let you in on a secret.
I did not steal away when love rode by
I did not let myself be unkind
It's so heard to say where love meets lust
I often think I'm losing my mind.
I trade notes with the press league
They send back their suggestions
I wanna know where I come from
But all I get are directions.
Chorus
I can't get started, can't get pain
What's wrong?
Big ideas, the find intentions
They're all gone
It takes two flagons of courage
Pounds, shillings and pence
You wind up going nowhere
It doesn't make sense.
I see my brother's face grow dark with care
I spend my time avoiding his gaze
I pray that God might make his dreams come true
I'd give so much to feel he's been saved.
A bright spark in the playground
Dead loss as an anchor
You don't call him a misfit
He's just stuck for an answer.
Chorus (2)

Baby every cloud has a silver lining
Baby every dog really has his day
And it matters to me to see you smiling
Why don't you blow all your cares away
Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free as the leaves in the autumn
You may be sad but it will never last.
Chorus
Mabye by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark

Its taste was sweet like summer wine
The heart that beats in double time
So he waltzed right in and bowled you over
And you're still reeling from the feeling when he's gone
The door is closed the lock is turned
And all the memories and letters have been burned
Chorus
So when you pick the handsome flower
Don't forget the thron upon the rose
It's cut is deep and the scar lasts forever
It follows love whereever love goes
Just how we fall it's hard to know
When what we feel we seldom show
So we show the parts we feel are best
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
And you think you know him and he thinks the same
When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game
Chorus
Win or lose it's just the same
Tears of joy tears of pain
They're hand in hand they come as one
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
For all the bruises for all the blows
I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose
Chorus...

Faith won't heal up everthing
The wound grows and you believe in love
Walk around feeling cut in two,
Wide open, with your hear on view
All you bereaved, all you besotted boys in need,
When love won't heel you, wh, why believe she will?
O Lyubvi malyu otchayanno
Say it on your knees
Oh, so sharp, and way too cool,
Love's bright and biggest fool
has to work on speaking slow,
To think hard, and to lie low
Will you believe? All you bedazzled boys in need,
V krayu dalyokum, chuzhie ne nuzhny.
Chorus
O tyubvi malyum otchayanno
Say it on your knees,
Crying like a baby, ";Plese, please, please!";
Crying, hoping maybe,
O tyubvi malyum otchayanno
Say it on your knees,
Candle is a splendid thing:
The room glows, and the candle sings
";Fly up to the only light,
";Ev'ry, ev'ry tiny wing!";
The moth inside you bolts off to join the beautiful;
He flies and dies,
So quickly, quickly wise.
Chorus...

Lying here watching the time pass
I could think of a million things I'd rather do
Travel at my own pace
Put myself asleep if I wanted to
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Than be lashed to a wave that I can't haul
Might as well be a slave
Lying low in the shade of a prison wall
Lying here watching the time pass
I could cry for the helping hands that I refused
We were good friends but I did refuse
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Drinking sun through a chink in a prison wall
Down here down where the end is
You absolve me from every crime I ever planned
I was so surprised I did not think that you would understand
Chorus
Might as well be behind bars
Growing old in a carpeted hall
O might as well be a slave
Ever safe out of the rain in prison walls
Might as well be behind bars
Getting used to the sound of my keeper's call
I might as well be a slave
Always safe out of the rain in prison walls.

I'm walkin' along golden mile with a soldier's twirl
I must be the luckiest soul in the whole wide world
O foolish thing here I go again
There's no faith more innocent than blind faith
And that's all I've got
So I'm scaling the walls of my dreams
Ready or not
O foolish thing here I go again
Chorus
Don't be afraid darling no need to be afraid darling
You don't have to be afraid from now on
It's just the way darling we get delayed darling
But we won't be delayed from now on
I know no power on earth nor up above
That would alter the way things are
You are my love
You're my pride and joy on the golden mile
If only it could be captured how I feel for you
And if I could just freeze it I feel I'd never be untrue
O foolish thing here I go again
Chorus¡­

Across the evening sky
All the birds are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire
I will still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad deserted shore
your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, then you know
It's time for them to go
But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
You know I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone
While my love is near me
I know it will be so
Until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I do not fear the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

What does it matter if the sun don't rise
It's midnight forever in my Jimmy's eyes
What should it matter if it comes on to spring
When I'm finding winter in everything
Lived in this cold wind city all of my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going
It doesn't feel right
See it all now
From so far away
All of the wisdom that I held so high
Shining and useless as this April sky
The hedgerows are singing and it comes on spring
But I'm finding winter in everything
Lived in this cold wind city all of my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going
It doesn't feel right
See it all now
From so far away
So what should it matter if the earth may slide
Sky break in pieces or the stars collide
The little of sense left in this world or ours
My Jimmy took with him in the wee small hours
Lived in this cold wind city all of my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going
It doesn't feel right
See it all now
It's so far away
I'm finding winter in everything
I'm finding winter in everything

I
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er
Ad neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And we shall row, my love and I
II
For love is gentle, and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew
III
There is a ship and she sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know now how I sink or swim
Repeat II then I

We don't always live in harmony
And often there are times when we are enemies
I fight with you, and you fight with me
Trying to get the balance right.
Sometimes we cause each other pain
Sometimes our wills are not the same
And often we tire of the strain
Trying to get the balance right.
Chorus
Like a circus pair
Hight up in the air
Working on their act
We need that kind of pact
High above the ring
Watch them balancing
See how they unite
We too can get it right.
We don't always seem to get along
And one of us often acts too strong
Sometimes we find we're goin' wrong
Trying to get the balance right.
Chorus
We don't always live in harmony
And often there are times when we are enemies
But I love you and you love me
When we get the balance right
When we get the balance right
We can get the balance right.

There is a time in life it seems
For believing in dreams, for me it's gone
And though I realize today
Dreams are empty anyway, I still feel wronged.
Chorus
I felt cheated when you went away
But not as defeated as I felt the day
You came back and we found so little to say.
There is a time in life I know
When we all must outgrow young ideals
And the wisdom that we gain
Is paid for with the pain I now feel.
Chorus
There is a time in life it seems
For believing in dreams for me it's gone.

Night owns my white bones but
What's left is still saying
Strange prayers in high places
Wild airs with wilder graces
Birds fly with no motion
What draws me draws the ocean
Chorus
Down on my knees again,
Still believing
In the time of reason no more
Down on my knees again
Still believing
Peace of mind is worth any chore
Great dreams and laid schemes
Just blown down by high winds
And strong signs from old forces
Wild dogs run trackless courses
Night changes sweet mountain
Vain hopes need cold fountains
Chorus
Night owns my white bones but
What's left is still saying
Chorus...

Something must be done
About my state of heart
Woke with it this morning
and now it's nearly dark
I don't know what to do
the blame must lie with you
Chorus:
Falling, falling, I'm falling for you.
I'm falling, falling, falling
and you're living in a glass jar
Sitting in your place
Inside your window draped in lace
I feel my fingers scratch the pane
I don't want to fall in love again
My heart is in your hands
A Prince in these love lands
Something must be done
about my state of heart
The throne stands empty in the dawn
lies empty in the dark
My heart is in your hands
Prince in these love lands
Chorus

And it's over now
The guns have flowed
The nightmare flashed
On a cradle road
As the guilty rain came down
No child to hold
Through anxious fears
No gentle hand
To catch the tears
That soak this ancient ground
The smile that breaks so gently
Belies a troubled head
Like a voice that holds the secrets
Of the life you might have led
Eyes with pale indifference
In danger and in grace
But the glance that knows the death-knell
Left its shadow on your face
In the deep enduring darkness
As your loyal friends go down
Touched by the violent crown
'Til their hunter's hunted down
Chorus
The web is slowly woven
The endless dreamers shed,
In the dawn the curfew is broken
On the Sunday morning's dead.
Centuries of thunder
Take the Castle in the flood
To the cold night air of London
Where you hands are bound in blood.
Mid winter deepened
As the parting turned inside
A thousand times you cried
But the shadow never died.
And it's over now
The guns have flowed
The night mare flashed
On a cradle road.
As the guilty rain came down.
No child to hold
Through anxious fears
No gentle hand
No graceful years
Just bitter ancient ground.
But it's over now

Some days the fog in Monterey comes
Blowing from the grove above, and then tears away
The drifting patches lift and fold
Then sunlight cuts them white and cold
In Monterey -- fog comes, oh, then
It tears away
A heart sick lover comes to stay;
She leaves the one she loves behind,
And then tears away.
She walks the hill in sudden wonder;
Is she dead or just undone?
She's lost her way -- love comes, oh, then
It tears away
Some nights this girl in Monterey
Lies dreaming in her room above, then tears away:
Her eyes are on her lover's face;
He smiles, and she can hardly wait --
Is it night or day? -- dream comes, oh, then
It tears away
But now that morning's on its way
Too soon the dreamer's drowned in fog that tears away
The clouds that cover Monterey
Crowd by as if they're here to say
";We never stay -- she comes, oh, then
She tears away";
Some days the fog in Monterey comes
Blowing from the grove above, then tears away;
It comes--oh, then
It tears away.

The sky collapsed around us, You didn't seem to care
I hailed you through the raindrops, You weren't even there.
I juggle with the breakfast, You fret behind the sheets
I want you to be steadfast, You want to be released.
CHORUS:
Oh my pretty darling, Where did we go astray
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you'd come to stay.
We're all dollied up for the circus, Oh isn't it grand
We're laughing, jumping and kissing, We're beating the band.
I've got no more smiles to win you, No tricks to turn your head
When love cannot continue, There's not much to be said.
CHORUS
It's all cut and thrust at the circus, And maybe makes three
You're twisting my words into serpents, I'm down on my knees.
Oh my pretty darling, I thought you'd come to stay
I thought you'd come to stay, I thought you'd come to stay.

Looking back
Down that long road you have travelled
And I see
All the pain that you have suffered
A young girl waks on ancient sand
Desert flower in her hand
Barefoot on the red heartland
Innocence makes few demands
Heart and soul
My soul sister
Got that special part of me
Such sweet love
And deep devotion
Who would tame what's wild and free?
Here we are
In this crazy, crazy world
Circumstance
Can lead you on to desperation
Love can save the weary heart
Or it can tear us all apart
I would rather take that chance
Than to never trust again
Heart and soul
My soul sister
Got that special part of me
Such sweet love and deep devotion
Who would tame what's wild and free?
Looking forward
Down that long road we might travel
And I see
All the joy that is recovered
See the young boy by the river side
He throws a stick to the other side
It carries with the rising tide
Sometimes we might reach too high
Heart and soul
My soul sister
Got that special part of me
Such sweet love and deep devotion
Who would tame what's wild and free?
Loving heart so wild and free
Who could chance what's wild and free?

The moon was full
And their hearts were empty
When I stopped to watch the river go down
Saw the gleaming eyes
On your blind two corners
Heard the Shuffle of the Buckled
As they come to lay their money down
Ooo not even with his money down
And he fades in the shadows
Of the walls of night in this town
He just fades in the shadows
Of the walls of night in this town
My heart was numb and my eyes stopped running
And the wind chilled my bones where I stopped
To watch that river go down
And the song on this street
Boasts no chest proud anthem
It's the shuffle of the buckled
As they come to lay their money down
Chorus
The moon was full
And their hearts were empty
When I stopped to watch the river go down
Ooo not even with his money down

Schooldays over, come on then John
Time to be getting your pit boots on
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
Time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning a pitman's pay.
Come on then Jim, it's time to go
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and shovel
You start at the pits today
Time to be learning the collier's job
And earning a collier's pay.
Come on then Dai, it's nearly light
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the miner's job
And earning a miner's pay
Repeat First Verse

Half the time I don't even hear what people are saying
Half the time I'm so far gone not a word gets in
I'm here you're there okay but I just want to tell you
Risn
Which side of the coin we show is open to debate
Either way I accept what the wind brings
I'm here you're there okay but I just want to tell you
Risn Risn
Is it the way that I'm too late?
If there's a chance you know I'll wait
Risn
Other hands claw but mine can be gentle
No bad blood within me
This is a thing so rare oh it's great to be near you
Risn Risn
If all is fair in love and war
Why am I here and you're so far?
Risn
My heart's beating under a cloud
I can't get away from you now
Risn
My heart's beating under a cloud
There's nothing out of it now
Risn Risn

I'm the latest apparition
Cutting slices in the night
I come through without permission
Moving in and out of human sight
I'm the tapping on your shoulder
I am the raving in the storm
I'll take shelter in you rafters
I'm the shiver when you're warm
I'm the gold in California
I am the well in Mexico
Like the vultures in the valley
I will wait for you to go
I'm the gypsy in you pocket
I am the horseman in your dreams
I'm the reason dogs are barking
I am the hand that stops the scream
I am the baby's cry that isn't
I am the distant relative
I'm the scratching in the ceiling
I am advice you shouldn't give
I'm the ghost of a travelling salesman
My foot will be there in your door
Though I can walk through walls and windows
I will knock just like before
I am the darkness in your daughter
I am the spot beneath the skin
I am the scarlet on the pavement
I am the broken heart within
I won't take a train to nowhere
I will not touch just anyone
Ask a stranger why I'm waiting
In the chamber of a gun

I remember when we were sweethearts
I was safe with you, you were my protector
Those days are over, now I need someone
Someone to keep me safe from you
Love was all we had, we were young and sure
Who¡¯d expect their love would turn to war
I don¡¯t know who to pity more
How much pain can love endure?
I should leave you but I can¡¯t seem to
You say I¡¯m sorry dear and I believe you
Though the next time may be the worst yet
How easily I forgive, how quickly you forget
The poison words, the ugliness
When low on hope and deep into debt
The promises that bring regret
For loving you is this all I get?
The poison words, the ugliness
the cold remains of married bliss
to all our dreams a fatal kiss
Oh what kind of love is this?

Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now, Lord I remember how
Couldn't get enough of kissing
Do you know how much I'm missing?
No you don't, but I do
Days like a slow train trickle by
Even the words that I write refuse to fly
All that I can hear is your song haunting me
Can't get the melody out of my head you see
Distractions I've been using
Do you know how much I'm losing?
No you don't, but I do
But I do and I wonder if I'm past the point of rescue
An is no word from you at all the best that you can do
Never meant to push or shove you
Do you know how much I love you?
No you don't, but I do.

Hey little brother the winds of the world
Have ruffled your soft and weakened wings
And though I can't hold you as I look into your eyes
I can see the film that disappointment brings
I know it's rained upon your childhood dreams
The games you've been playing
Weren't quite what they seemed
How can I tell you don't bang your head against the wall
The wall I've been banging and praying might fall
Your time will come on another day
And your dreams will flame and in the fire play
On another day
I know it's hard for you to understand
There are no flying angels come to lend a hand
No smiling faces lined for you to meet
It looks like that in twisted glass
From the kind side of the street
Chorus
Repeat 1st verse
Chorus

I found your letter in my mailbox today
You were just checking if I was okay
And if I miss you, well you know what they say
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
No need to ask me if we can be friends
And help me right back on my feet again
And if I miss you, well just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
There's a blue moon shining
When I am reminded of all we've been through
Such a blue moon shining
Does it ever shine down on you?
You act as if it doesn't hurt you at all
Like I'm the only one who's getting up from a fall
Don't you remember now don't you recall
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
Just once in a very blue moon

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said but it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
Money's gone, and spending ends
They don't come no more
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend, my Huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
Dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend, my Huckleberry friend

Chorus
A message of love, right to your heart
Comes from above, to make a new start
To spark a new flame,
that will ring the world round
Playing destiny's game
And creating her sound in a message
of love
Tell all your friends, our time is here
We're on our way, the message is clear
We're an act of creation, now
and forever
We're a river of nations
We're coming together in a message
of love
Chorus
Spirits of love, spirits of life
Help us be strong, help us to do right
Here is our chance, to heal the old scars
Learn a new way to dance to the song of
the stars
With a message of love
Chorus
I hear the butterflies dreaming, in the
shimmering air
I feel the power of life, a flowering
fire everywhere
I sing the tree, and the dove the eagle,
fox and the hare
The right to exist is our right, we
all share
It's a message of love
Chorus
When evening falls, focus your mind
When spirits call let your body unwind
And open your heart, and do it today
And do what is right, and do not delay
Because a message of love

Chorus
Gabriel Gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Oh Gabriel Gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Heaven knows I love you
And heaven knows how true
I'd be for you
People have their failings
And I know that I've got mine
I know I've been ungrateful
I know I've been unkind
Chorus
Gabriel Gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Oh come on Gabriel Gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Down into the valleys
And out across the sea
Our dreams go
Caught up in a loving
So much stronger than we knew
That could tear our world apart
Or with some fate just pull us through
Chorus
Gabriel oh Gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Gabriel Gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Time will wait for no one
And time will take it's toll
And we'll grow old
Weary from the fighting
Worn out from a war
Where no one can surrender
Or wants to fight anymore
Chorus
Gabriel Gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Gabriel Gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Gabriel Gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Oh Gabriel Gabriel
This heart's in hell

It's time to go, Jenny
No need to close the door
What if the dust gets in the house
It doesn't matter any more
You and the dust have been at war for far too many years
Now the war is over Jenny dear.
Chorus
Leaving the land
Leaving the land
Leaving all I've ever been and everything I am
Leaving the land.
Remember when I brought you here
Those long bright years ago
For all that time you've been my heart
And this land has been my soul
The long bright days are over now but still the heart beats on
But Jenny dear the soul is gone.
Chorus
I't time to go, Jenny
Drive quickly down the track
We'll never see what lies ahead if we keep on looking back
Behind is just an empty house
Old memories and ghosts
And our small dream gathering dust.
Chorus

First when I came to the town
They called me young and bonny
Now they've changed my name
Called me the Leaboy's honey.
I'll dye my petticoats red
And I'll face them with a yellow
I'll tell the dyester lads
That the Leaboys I've to follow.
It's over hills and dales
And over dykes and ditches
Say will I like the lad
Who wears the moleskin breeches
The black horse draws the cart
And he's as proud as any
Say will I like the lad
That drives them on so canny
Feather beds are fine
And painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all
To jog away with Johnny
Oh, for Saturday night
It's I that'll see my dearie
He'll come whistlin' in
When I am tired and weary.
First when I came to the town
They called me proud and saucy
Now they've changed my name
Called me the Leaboy's lassie.

You've got no reason to say you're all alone
There will be a change of season
That'll win a heart of stone
Chorus
Love is just around the corner
And standin' out of view
Love is just around the corner
For you
I can see a smile tomorrow
A reason to go on
The sky is always darkest
Before the new day dawns.
Chorus...
Don't ever stop believing
The sun is going to shine
It's worth giving and receiving
If you only give it time
Chorus...
Don't think you've found salvation or that the day is won
When you reach your destination
The journey's just begun
Chorus...

[Instrumental]

He said, darling, I'm in love with your mind
The way you care for me, it's so kind
Love to see you again, wish I had more time
He was laughing as he brushed my cheek
Why don't you call me, baby, maybe next week
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought he was saying good luck, he was saying goodbye
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, oh, I misunderstood
I thought he was saying good luck, he was saying goodbye
Things I tried to put shine in his eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
He said the thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends you and I
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought he was saying good luck, he was saying goodbye
But I misunderstood, oh, I misunderstood, I misunderstood
I thought he was saying good luck, he was saying good
I thought he was saying good luck, he was saying good
I thought he was saying good luck, he was saying goodbye
He was saying goodbye, he was saying goodbye
He was saying goodbye, saying goodbye
He was saying goodbye, oh, he was saying goodbye

The letter stopped in a minor key
A Christmas card that you drew for me
Done by the hand that I knew so well
Disguised the message that you could not tell
I see you bent above your potter's wheel
The piece you've throwing is the piece you feel
The softest colour and an eye so true
For cups and bowls that are shaped like you
Chorus
You work in porcelain cut by wire
Now as ever lovers walk through fire
When we were breaking we made no sound
The pieces almost touching on the ground
And now your silence says there's someone there
She stands behind you as she strokes your hair
How does she hold you like a long lost friend
Or are you like me on your own again
And so I write you in a minor key
Wondering if there's something left for me
I'm only writing so that I can sleep
I never found another love as deep
Chorus

Traveling at night, the headlights were bright
And we€™d been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it€™s warming fire
Chorus
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it€™s own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still
The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go,
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight
Chorus
Traveling at night,
The headlights were bright.
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet scene of home in the breeze
Chorus

I looked into a mirror made of lines
With tiny symbols here and there to make the image mine
A woman stood and painted, and showed me what to find
The different parts, the fire, the air,
and where my life would climb:
and where it joins another, and what would always bind:
Chorus:
It¡¯s a golden thread to hold you all of my days,
Hold my head against you, now and for always,
Sewn me up, shown us a long, long time;
Makes you my life, makes you my life.
The moving finger writes and goes away;
I¡¯m weighed upon a balance here
and I¡¯m told that I can stay
The kettle heats, the water speaks up, says I¡¯m not alone;
My whole life is a tapestry, and hanging in my home.
And here it joins another, by what will always bind:
Chorus
An when you looked your angel flew away
And what it meant was your protection¡¯s gone another day
And what has come to change you,
and have you come what may
Is fashioned by an old triangle, green as April haze,
And blue is just a colour, but blue is here to stay.
Chorus (2)

If we leave here today
we could be a thousand miles away
Take to that road see how far it goes
And on that great ocean road
Oh the country¡¯s in our bones
All the trouble that you know
empties out as you go
Chorus:
Oh come on walk with me, talk with me,
tell me your stories
I¡¯ll do my best to understand you
You¡¯re flesh and blood, flesh and blood
Don¡¯t refuse me your love
More than words can express
More than wealth or success
Oh there¡¯s a thousand things to do
So let¡¯s start here with me and you
All the pain that you feel
All the hurt that seems so real
Oh come on walk with me, talk with me,
tell me your stories
I¡¯ll do my very best to understand you
You¡¯re flesh and blood
You can¡¯t go on holding back
the flooding river
Keeping all that fear inside
I understand how trouble haunts you
Yes and I do know how you feel
There¡¯s a thousand things to do
So let¡¯s start here with me and you
Gonna take a little time
Let¡¯s see what we can find
Oh come on walk with me.........

Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
You lonely travellers all
The cold north winds will blow again
The winding road does call.
And will you never return to see
Your bruised and beaten sons
O I would, I would if welcome I were
For they loathe me every one.
And will you never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
And can you never swear a year
To anyone but he.
No I will never cut the cloth
Nor drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to he who lies
Asleep alongside of me.
Repeat First Verse

I'm really close tonight
I feel like I'm moving inside him
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know him
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
Chorus
And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down one me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Don't hide it from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
I hear them all moving inside you
You know - I'll be waiting when you call
Chorus
The finger of blame has turning upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall, I fall
Chorus

I'm giving up on TV it's not making sense
Gotta trust ourselves it's the last line of defence
Spinning into space running out of time
Gathering together all the useful things we find
Chorus
So don't say okay and be half-hearted
I'm afraid that this feeling goes on
Sacrifice the world face a killing sun
You gotta get it all together it'll bring us all undone
We're running up hills that we already climbed
Over the top and falling down the other side
Chorus
The ghosts are at the window they're again tonight
Looking in on us so we have got to get it right
We've walking on their bones everywhere we go
Spirits in the wind and the memories in the stones
Chorus
How we gonna get the healing done?

CHORUS
With your dark hair in the Donegal breeze,
Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground,
But, there's madness in the sycamore trees,
And there's no salvation to be found.
Right now the only thing that my mind ever holds,
Are long dark silences or screaming that explodes,
Burning rocking beds with visions of a land,
Long dark tunnels, questions and calm,
But, with you, you know I have no doubts,
And fear will have no sting,
With your brilliant eyes and your lost and broken wing,
My head upon your shoulder as you take me in your arms,
Continents will crumble, we will find no harm.
CHORUS
With your dark hair in the Donegal breeze,
Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground,
But, there's madness in the sycamore trees,
And there's no salvation to be found.
Well I'll brace myself against the dark, endeavour to go on,
No matter how long it takes, and even though I might be wrong,
And I will ask a little favour of whatever God I find,
And I will come back for you darling, when I find some peace of mind.
Well I don't know about tomorrow, it will be here and gone,
I don't know about tonight, it'll be too long,
Sometimes I think I'm dying, and I don't care how,
All I know is that I want you, and I want you here and now.
CHORUS
With your dark hair in the Donegal breeze,
Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground,
But, there's madness in the sycamore trees,
And there's no salvation to be found.

I have written this song
For you to take with you
When you go away
Something to sing and slowly swing to
On your colder days
I have made a start
With a verse and a Chorus
The rest I leave to you
And when next I see your smiling face
We might sing it right through
Chorus
I'll be your sweetheart always
And I'll love the memories of the Diamond Days
I'll keep a candle burning
'Till we sing again the Diamond Days
If the words don't rhyme
Then I will forgive you
That won't be the crime
But the staring space
Upon the page
That might look like mine
I have made a start
With a verse and a Chorus
The rest I'll leave to you
And when next I see your smiling face
We might sing it right through
Chorus

Every now and then you like to take it easy
Sit right back and view the situation
The future is brighter
Soon we'll be riding on the crest of a wave
Chorus
Goodbye to all your troubles
Change of heart the world will start today
It's a new beginning
See it shining like a brand new star
Well if you're thinkin' that you'll end up crying
Maybe all you need is to get away from friends
And the walls around you
Find a shore step into the sun
Chorus
I won't be a burden upon your shoulder
I will give you wings so you can fly
To lands where you're dreams surround you
Find a shore step into the sun
Chorus...

The day won't open it's eyes
The heavens above must be sick
I'm stood at the windows since five
All decked out for the trip
Hey Hey I'm dying to meet with you
Hey Hey I'm living to speak with you
Hey Hey I'm waiting to meet you baby
Hey Hey Hey
Chorus
Big trip to Portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to Portland
My soul shall be healed
The master's out of my reach
He wanders around in the rain
Today is all that I seek
Today when I hold you again
Hey Hey
Chorus
I take the prize I win the day
You say you love me all the way
I kill the pain that drags you down
You take us on from town to town
The sun's burning all thru' the day
It's doing the best it can do
I came with my bucket and spade
I came with the same things as you
Chorus
Big trip to Portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to Portland
My soul shall be healed

Babs in the wood walking thru' snow
Big bad wolf at the window
Not much choice in the matter now
Some must lead some must follow
Touch can mean distance to some people
Touch can mean prison or be like a cage
I always thought that life could be more simple
Specially in this day and age
Chorus
They got the time they got the need
The world's getting weird the wolf's running free
But that's another story this their story
Babes in the wood eager and keen
Soft as the fern underneath them
Wet to the skin from their own hot glow
No more wolf at the window
Touch can mean distance to some people
Touch can mean I own you forever and a day
If only life could be more simple
Specially in this day and age
Chorus
But touch can be a blessing to other people
Touch can bring blossom to things that decay
I think life should be that simple
Specially in this day and age
Chorus...

As I'm leaving a change come on my eyes
These streets persuading me with mumbled strange goodbyes
Through the water through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones and I'm almost gone
There's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
Through the water through the ring
To the sould of everything
Cry my eyes out to the winds and I'm almost gone
Almost gone
And I'm dreaming just staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now and street light waterfalls
Through the water through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out on the stone and I'm almost gone
Through the water through the ring
To the soul of everything
Wash my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
Almost gone

I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow,
Like peace was the break between wars,
I'm still partly new now, but mostly older,
And I can not say I'm so sure.
CHORUS
I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it,
All of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark,
On his ark.
I may look back at today and feel foolish,
My old view was right all along,
I will rush in, where no angels are walking,
And fight for the right to be wrong.
CHORUS
'Cause I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it,
of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark,
On his ark.
Between my potential and the deep blue sea,
There's a rock and a diamond either side of me,
Between our potential and the break of day,
There is nothing at all in our way,
Nothing in our way.

These are the moments that we love so well
Precious moments caught within a spell
All too soon our lives thay fade away
These are the moments that we wish would stay
If I had my life to live again
I would choose to be with you my friend
Time moves slowly and it goes so fast
And who knows how long the days will last
So cherish deep within you
The love you get today
Let the moment linger
Cause tomorrow steals that away
Yes tomorrow steals that away
These are the memories that we made so well
Lives like stories that we long to tell
When we're old with not too much to say
We'll have the memories that we made today
We'll have the memories that we made today

From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down
At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was
If it was mine I should be glad
That I still function in this cage
But if it's yours it only makes me more lost
To see a tear rolling down
To see a tear rolling down
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe.
I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love
Above the noise on the quay their voices rise
They must have something so strong in the face of such change
That they can promise and promise all night
Oh, their undying love, hear their undying love
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe.
Oh, what you wouldn't give to be down on the pier once again
Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde
Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure
When your heart's unsure
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave
I feel I'm sentenced to a death without appeal
I can pretend it's all a dream
And what I'm seeing will disappear
But the end I can see is all too real
Knowing you're taking leave
Knowing you're taking leave
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe

As I leave behind Neidin
It's like purple splashed on green
My soul is strangely fed
Through the winding hills ahead
And she plays a melody
On wind and streams for me
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember me?
And we wind and climb and fall
Like the greatest waltz of all
Float across the floor
Her sweet breath outside the door
And it's time that I was gone
Cross the silver tear
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember me?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember me?
As I leave behind Neidin
In the hall where we have been
Rhododendrons in your hair
In the mountain scented air
I still feel her spirit song
Cross the silver tear
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember me?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember?
Won't you remember me?

O love is never easy
It¡¯s almost always out of your way
It¡¯s not the path of least resistance
It¡¯s not some words you get to say
It¡¯s a stream running up a mountain
It¡¯s a wave rolling out from the shore
Wish I could say I never felt that way before
I have a friend who¡¯s lonely
She is chasing after her dreams
And she is the one and only
One who knows how hard it could be
Chorus:
There¡¯s a treasure on her island
Buried in the city of news
Wish I could say we didn¡¯t have that much to lose
Yeh one friend tried to end it
He could not see the good in his life
In his mirror or his pocket
And his hopes had come down like a knife
It¡¯s a stream running up a mountain
It¡¯s a wave rolling out from the shore
Wish I could say I never felt that way before
There¡¯s a treasure on these islands

Farewell my lovely Johnny,
a thousand times adieu
You are going away from the holy ground
And the ones that love you true
You will sail the salt seas over
And then return for sure
To see again the ones you love
And the holy ground once more
You¡¯re on the salt sea sailing
And I am safe behind
Fond letters I will write to you
The secrets of my mind
And the secrets of my mind, my love
You¡¯re the one that I adore
Still I live in hopes you¡¯ll see
The holy ground once more
I see the storm a risin¡¯
And it¡¯s coming quick and soon
And the night¡¯s so dark and cloudy
You can scarcely see the moon
And the secrets of my mind, my love
You¡¯re the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes you¡¯ll see
The holy ground once more
But now the storms are over
And you are safe and well
We will go into a public house
And we¡¯ll sit and drink our fill
We will drink strong ale and porter
And we¡¯ll make the rafters roar
And when our money it is all spent
You¡¯ll go to sea once more
You¡¯re the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that you¡¯ll see
The holy ground once more

I was born on the holy ground
A running child in fields of clover
I was living in the grandeur
Of my father¡¯s land
mmm...
By the side of the swirling sea
I spent the days of childish wonder
And the rocks I held in my young hands
I never felt them slip away
Well the sun shone bright upon the waves
And the wind blew high as I was leaving
And I sailed so far away
Looking for adventure
mmm...
But I would not stay where the city streets
proclaimed so loudly man¡¯s endeavours
Though music is a pretty thing
in fine company
And the wilderness took my breath away
I felt I had to find my way
Where no-one ever goes
mmm...
It was in the south that my new home lay
With a dark eyed boy and wild horses
With humming birds and roses there
in old Mexico
There the winds of change they blew so far
Of liberty and revolution
And it seemed that each man heard in his breast
the drumming of a nation
mmm...
Repeat the first verse

They sent you down a paper friend I hear
and you went back on all the vows you once held so dear
There you stretched so calm and quiet
and things looked good now don¡¯t deny it
You walked on air for fifteen minutes
and after that there was nothing in it
You don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
no you don¡¯t need those kind of friends
You say you¡¯ve lost your sense of time again
well you¡¯ve been using that excuse since who knows when
You went the way of all young rebels
ignore the Gods embrace the Devils
But they¡¯re no good for you in your state
so why not drive them right out of your gates
¡®Cos you don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
you don¡¯t need those type of friends
No one knows what you¡¯re feeling
and life goes on in its own sweet time
Your passions flame for no reason
you haunt the city for something that shines
even one thing to rhyme
And if I meet you on the rounds today
I hope you won¡¯t turn on your heel or walk away
Yes I know it takes so much effort
but facing up can be so much better
So what if dreams they all come to nothing
just blow your nose and keep on looking
¡®Cos you don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
you don¡¯t need those kind of friends
Yes you don¡¯t need those paper friends at all
you don¡¯t need those paper friends

There you may stand in your splendour and jewels
swaying me in both directions
One is the right one, the other for fools
How do I make my selection?
The city lies silent in the warm morning light
The sand is as golden as saffron
Oasis of love sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones who have none though they¡¯ve tried
Someone is drowning down there in the flood
But this river will dry by tomorrow
Is its ocean or stream this love in my blood?
Bringer of joy and sorrow?
The end of the journey must soon be in sight
Birth is the start of the swansong
Oasis of love sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones who want some by are denied
No one is given the map to their dreams
All we can do is to trace it
See where we go to
Know where we¡¯ve been
Build up the courage to face it
While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light
Roaming the land of the ancients
Oasis of love sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died
While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight
Searching for trees in the forest
Oasis of love sweet water of life
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died
God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride

It¡¯s a cold old world that we¡¯re walking through
They ought to tell you at the start
But it¡¯s warm as toast walkin¡¯ two by two
Lay down the burden of your heart
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you¡¯ll never miss it
Just show me, angel, where it hurts
And let your mammy kiss it
It¡¯s a fine fine line between love and hate
It¡¯s hard to tell the two apart
But what strength I have I offer you
Lay down the burden of your heart
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you¡¯ll never miss it
Just show me, angel, where it hurts
And let your mammy kiss it
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you¡¯ll never miss it
Just show me, angel, where it hurts
And let your mammy kiss it

Late glow on an early winter evening in Dockland
with my ship of dreams moving easily across the sound
Reminiscence is weighting me down with a vengeance
tide water so deep I think I¡¯m going to drown
But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction
In the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold
I don¡¯t even have to try and I¡¯m gone out of here without notice
gone out of Dockland without a care in the world
It didn¡¯t hit me when I met you coming out of the shambles
It didn¡¯t hit me when you took me to the summer field
I didn¡¯t flinch when you told me that you¡¯d get what you wanted
I never had what it takes to have a heart of steel
But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction
in the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold
I didn¡¯t even have to try and I¡¯m gone out of here without notice
I¡¯m gone out Dockland without a care in the world
gone out of Dockland
And yes I loved you the time that is was
and yes you may rip me whenever you want
So it goes on a crystal clear morning in Dockland
and heaven knows if I¡¯ll ever live to love again
Struck down by the kiss of an angel in limbo
laid low by the act of the going
But in the wink of an eye I am rising above the affliction
in the wink of an eye I am come back in from the cold
I didn¡¯t even have to try and I¡¯m gone out of here without notice
gone out of Dockland without a care in the world
I¡¯m gone out of Dockland without a care in world

Chorus
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
Chorus
There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
Chorus
On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay
Chorus

When I see you coming
In your trespass shoes
Hear the song you're humming
How can i refuse
With your half drunk bottle
And your slurring tongue
Singing sentimental
Don't it always make me feel so young
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
When the push comes down to shoving
When the four winds blow
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Now my heels are snagging
On these pavement stones
Days and nights are dragging
Till I get you home
With your four o'clock shadow
and your cowboy songs
Singing sentimental
Don't it always make me feel so strong
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
Push comes to shove and worse for better
when the four winds blow
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
With your forehead furrowed
And your facts all wrong
Oh so temperamental
Oh but baby when it's said and done
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
Push comes to shove and worse for better
Only goes to show when the four winds blow
Been alone
We've been together
Stood at toe to toe
Getting older doesn't matter when lights down low
Push comes to shove and worse for better
Only goes to show
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do
Ain't nobody ever loved me like you do

I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded like the summer run through
So we walk doen the shore line one last time together
Feel the wind blow our wandering hearts like a feather
But who knows who's waiting in the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We're gonna go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious and the seasons so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appears or how far the first night when I held you near
You've gotta rise from these ashes like a bird of flame
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine
For all that we struggle for all we pretend
It don't come down to nothing except love in the end
And ours is a road that is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds as it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing you just can't compromise
Step out of the shadows
You gotta go where we can shine
Oh we're gonna go where we can shine
Shine

I was broken by the power
I was swallowed by the need
I was hiding in the corner
When a voice called to me
He understood my mystery
Healed the wounds of my despair
And with his grace he tenderly
Brushed the tangles from my hair
I'm feeling better by the hour
I think I just might be o.k.
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
Think I can live with what remains
As I sorted through the wreckage
Sitting in my silent fast
On my bed of hard earned ashes
Still repenting for my past
My body ached and shook with anger
As I walked through narrow gates
Ans I left those walls behind me
And with them my mistakes
I'm feeling better by the hour
I think I just might be o.k.
Though bridges burn and ashes shower
Think I can live with what remains

Stories never end 'til you come to conclusions:
Carolina ruadh has a hand in my confusion.
Waits for me to choose which quarter to bend in.
To Susie-Make-Me-Blue, or the redhead I'm attending.
Oh Carolina ruadh has my heart and all I want to do's
Go down the windy road where my Carolina goes:
Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
Mo Charolina ruadh, do you love me?
Tell me true, tell me......
Standing on three queens, thought the game was over.
Then, from the blue, Carolina's at my shoulder:
Laughter in her eyes and a smile
That touches all the guys
On down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
--Mo Charolina ruadh, do you love me?
Tell me true, tell me..

I went to church on Sunday
My love, she passed me by
I knew her mind was changing
By the roving of her eye
By the roving of her eye
By the roving of her eye
I knew her mind was changing
By the roving of her eye
My love's fair and proper
Her waist is neat and small
She is quite good-looking
And that' s the best of all
And that' s the best of all
And that' s the best of all
And she is quite good-looking
And that' s the best of all
Oh, Hannah, loving Hannah
Come give to me your hand
You said that if you're married
That I will be the one
That I will be the one
That I will be the one
You said that if you're married
That I will be the one
I will go down by the river
When everyone's asleep
I'll think of loving Hannah
And then sit down and grieve
And then sit down and grieve
And then sit down and grieve
I'll think of loving Hannah
And then sit down and grieve
I went to church on Sunday
My love she passed me by
I knew her mind was changing
By the roving of her eye
By the roving of her eye
By the roving of her eye
I knew her mind was changing
By the roving of her eye

I have been wond'ring
what I'm gonna do
while you are sleeping
am I sleeping too
well I'm just sittin' here lovin' you
close my eyes and lovin' you
oh I'm just sittin' back
sittin' here lovin' you
If you've been wond'rin
just what I would do
if I weren't sleeping
had I not found you
well I'd be outside finding you
I'd be walkin' down avenue finding you
oh I'm just sittin' here lovin' you
Oh the reason that you never see me runnin' round
fingers on my forehead couldn't calm me down
and I can't even get me up and on my feet
I have to take care of some bus'ness on the street
oh I have been walkin' all my streets alone
I'd keep on walkin' to keep from goin' home
I couldn't quite barely conceive of you
now I can't conceive of ever leavin' you
oh I'm just stittin' back
sittin' here lovin' you
oh I'm just sittin' here lovin' you
oh I'm just sittin' back
sittin' here lovin' you

There's a wilderness
It's a no man's land
Between Alice Springs and the ocean
Seventeen hundred miles of burning sand
And a silken thread keeps a hold on you
When the emptieness like a potion tends to fray your reason strand by strand
And there's no more need for the mask your wear
When the last goodbyes have been said
So kiss the cheeks of you dearest friends
And turn to the desert ahead
Now you're on your own like a sailing ship
You're the captain, crew and sailors
Turn around and this is what you see
Chorus
This me facing me all alone
'Cause I choose to be with the wind and the sun on me only me
Now you dream so much about being lost
Your ghost by a coolebah sleeping
Haunts you and whispers in your ear
Give up give up this lonely road
No one knows the promise you're keeping
You can't touch the emptiness out here
But the grace that mends this broken wing
The blue sky to regain
Will lift those feet and raise those eyes
To face the desert again
As the dawn reveals the journey's end
In truth it's only beginning
And it's as big as your eyes wish to see
Chorus

Harking is bonnie
And there lives my love
My heart lies on him
And will not remove
It will not remove
Oh for all that I have done
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie
For Anachie Gordon
He's bonnie and he's rough
He'd entice any woman that ever he saw
He'd entice any woman and so he has done me
Oh I never will forget my love Anachie
Down came her father and he's standing by the door
Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie
For Anachie Gorden, he's barely but a man
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands?
Oh the Sulton's lands are broad and his towers they run high
You must marry Lord Sulton and leave Anachie
With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread
And before I'll marry Sulton it's gold to my head
With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
And you that are my parents to Church you may me bring
But unto Lord Sulton I'll never bear a song
To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee
And I'll die if I don't get me love Anachie
Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home
And when she and her maidens so merry should have been
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
She went into her chambers she cried all alone
Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet
For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet
Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me
But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie
And down came her father and he's spoken with reknown
Saying you that are her maidens go loosen off her gowns
But she fell down to the floor so close down by his knee
Saying father look I'm dying for me love Anachie
The day that Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
And the day that yound Anachie came home on the tide
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
Saying oh it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands
Oh so long on the sands, so long on the flood
They have married your Jeannie and now she lies dead
You that are her maidens go take me by the hand
And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in
And he's kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in

Adam's at the window
Staring at teh apple trees on fire
Waiting for the windfall
That brings the smile of kings and their desire
Door blows in behind him
A floral pattern summer dress so gay
Burning in the sunlight
Too late to wait
For darkenss won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the coareless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown
Chorus:
And Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam's on the island
Living in the land of love
Shadows lurk around him
Drunk on the royal jelly of pure love
Full and ripe the fruit hang
For when the prince arrives he will want more
And more and more he will drink from the canvas cup
The son of a swan will then loose his plumera
And he will wear a new age suit
And haunt the joints in town
And play a silver magic flute
And call his lovers down
And call his lovers down
Chorus:
And Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam's at the easel
Painting in the wrinkles and the grey
Waiting for November
Easy with the darkness of the day
Smiles a tear of gladness
And Adams at the window once again
Burning in the sunlight
Too late to wait
For darkness won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the careless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips, her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown
Chorus...
Repeat Chorus...

He don't know how to lie
Or undermine you
He don't know how to steal
How to deal or deceive
So leave him alone, set him free
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see
You say he's so helpless
Well what about you?
You don't pull the strings
Don't you know anything?
Just leave him alone, let him be
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see
Would you teach him about heaven?
Would you show him how to love the earth?
Would you poison him with prejudice
From the moment of his birth?
He in the name of love
He in the blood of the lamb
He that never lays blame
He don't even know his name
Just leave him alone, let him be
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel, the very one

Seemed like I'd gone off the side of a mountain
Couldn't be sure I was even alive
Fallen from the icy heights, landed with a broken cry
In this valley of shadows and sorrow, and sighs
Can you save me, baby?
Nobody lives without love, nobody gets to give up
You can try to lock your heart away
But love will come back for you someday
Nobody lives without love
Thought I could live out my life as a stranger
Hide from the heartbreak that love always brings
Make it to the higher ground, try to turn the volume down
Couldn't stop the sirens from singing, sing for me, baby
Nobody lives without love, nobody gets to give up
You can try to lock your heart away
But love will come back for you someday
Nobody lives without love
You came along like a flash of pure lightning
Crashed into my life like a runaway star
Feel myself falling like gravity's angel
Now I'm standing here offering a stranger my heart
Nobody lives without love, nobody gets to give up
You can try to lock your heart away
But love will be back for it someday
Nobody lives without love
Seemed like I'd gone off the side of a mountain
(Nobody lives without love)
Couldn't be sure I was even alive
(Nobody lives without love)
Thought I could live out my life as a stranger
(Nobody lives without love)
Hide from the heart break that love always brings
(Nobody lives without love)
Seemed like I'd gone off the side of a mountain
(Nobody lives without love)
Couldn't be sure I was even alive

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
And your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark to hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip and heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way, and heaven has its way
When all will harmonize
And know it's in our hearts The dream will realize
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers

When times are hard and friends are few
And you need someone to help you through
Just call my name and I'll come running to your side
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I will be there
When you are lost, lost in the night, no where to run
I will be there
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
When morning comes and nothing's changed
And the world outside plays the same old game
Just call on me and I will ease your lonely heart
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I will be there
When you are lost, lost in the night, no where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I will be there
When every one that you believe, still lets you down
I will be there
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
'Cause I will be there, don't be afraid
I will be there, don't be afraid
I will be there
When morning comes and nothing's changed
And the world outside plays the same old game
When everyone still lets you down
I will be there
When morning comes and friends are few
You need someone, you need someone to help you through
I will be there, don't be afraid
I will be there, don't be afraid
I will be there
When you are lost, lost in the night, no where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I will be there
When everyone that you believe, still lets you down
I will be there
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I will be there
When you are lost, lost in the night, no where to turn
I will be there

There is a lighthouse in the harbor
Giving guidance with its light
But I had no one to return to
As I wander through life
From the first time that I saw you
Standing silent by the shore
I knew my search was over
And I would look for love no more
Deep in the waters of love I am falling, sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love calling
Going once, going twice, going gone
Going once, going twice, going gone
There is a ship on the horizon
Making its way against the wind
And from the place where I stand watching
I swear my ship is coming in
Deep in the waters of love I am falling, sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love calling
Going once, going twice, going gone
Going once, going twice, going gone
Deep in the waters of love I am falling, sinking like a stone
Deep in my heart I can hear love calling
Going once, going twice, going gone

Words are flowing out
Like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai Guru Deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light
Which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of earth
Are ringing through my open views
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love
Which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru Deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva

This child he means the world to me
There is no more enchanted
A child can take this place of ruin
And magically enhance it
I see him in a golden room
With the book of life before him
Strange instruments upon his charts
And the crystal glow inside him
He's your Wonder Child
And my dreams come true
You've searched all of your life
I see him now flying over the universe
This child will build a violin
One will follow the traveler's love
Another will the bow apply
To reach the one above
I see her in the golden room
With the moon and stars above her
Her simple smile is heaven's gate
With the queen of all beside her
She's your Wonder Child
And my dreams come true
You've searched all of your life
I see her now flying over the universe
Your Wonder Child
And my dreams come true
You've searched all of your life
I see them now flying over the universe
Your Wonder Child
And my dreams come true
You've searched all of your life
I see them now flying over the universe

I was young I spoke like a child
I saw with a childs eyes
And an open door was to a girl
Like the stars are to the sky
It's funny how the world lives up to
All your expectations
With adventures for the stout of heart
Lure of the open spaces
There's two lanes running down this road
Whichever side you're on
Accounts for where you want to go
Or what you're running from
Back when darkness overtook me
On a blind mans curve
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon
And St. Christopher
Now I've paid my dues 'cause I have owed them
But I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman
In such stubborn times
And I've run from the arms of lovers
I've run from the eyes of friends
I've run from the hands of kindness
I've run just because I can
Now I've grown and I speak like a woman
And I see with a womans eyes
And an open door is to me now
Like to the saddest of goodbyes
When it's too late for turning back
I pray for the heart and the nerve
And I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
And St. Christopher
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon
I rely upon the moon

It reads like a fairytale
And that's what it was
Young man in his prime
Young girl from the cross
The most perfect of strangers
And then the night closed in
And the holy ground took care of everything
Now she was a fine one
And he was a handsome man
One look was enough
And away they ran
They spent many happy hours
And then the night closed in
And the holy ground took care of everything
Oh what's the use in complaining
In for a penny in for a pound
I remember the loving time
And nothing else really counts
And I recall the promise they made
With a faith I can but admire
That she'd be the one he adored
And he'd be her heart's desire
It didn't come true in the end
They went their separate ways
He couldn't change what he was
She wasn't ready to wait
They couldn't live in the daylight
They let the night close in
And the holy ground took care of everything
I remember the loving time

This old house is falling down around my ears
I am drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone, you hold me, sway
I need you at the dimming of the day
You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days've come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now, all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
And I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night, you're only what I want
And come the night, you could be my confidant
I see you on the street in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me?
I am living for the night we steal away
And I need you at the dimming of the day

(Chorus)
My heart is low, my heart is so low
As onlv a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
The tears that drip
From my bewildered eyes
Taste of bitter sweet romance
You're still in my hopes
You're still on my mind
And even though I manage on my own
(Chorus)
My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
When restless eyes
Reveal my troubled soul
And memories flood my weary heart
I mourn for my dreams
I mourn for my wasted love
And while I know that I'll survive alone
(Chorus)
My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's
As only a woman's heart can know
My heart is low, my heart is so low
As only a woman's heart can be
As only a woman's, as only a woman's

I never cared about the car I'd drive
Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd ride.
Just as long as I could get somewhere
And not get hurt I could breathe out there
I knew I could be free out there...could be me
I never cared about the word prestige
About no inside track or no noblesse oblige
Just as long as I could pay my way
And pull my weight and say my say
As long as I could pay my way... I could say
(Bridge)
I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions
I would not make my stand
in the house of corrections
Now I can see at last that everything is changing
And if you want to hold on fast the future needs arranging
(Chorus)
Now I'm looking forward to you
Now I'm looking forward to you
My former view was backward
My backward view was blue
Now I'm looking forward to you
Love had a weight designed to bring me down
My hands would sweat and my heart would pound
Now I've learned it and I've turned around
And I hanker for that anchor sound
I hanker for that anchor sound
Once designed to bring me down
(Repeat Bridge)

Oh Mary Jane, she step on the train
Head for the city lights
Yearning inside to swim with the tide
And taste it all night
Bag on her shoulder, breathing the cold
There by the metal tracks
She saw it all shine and swore in her mind
She'd never go back
And she don't mind the late night, late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night, late night radio
Couldn't have dreamed the things that she'd seen
There on the avenue
She stared right into a million eyes
That looked her right through
Telling Red Joe, the places she'd go
And wiping the table clean
She got no idea the demon of fear
Or what a broken heart means
And she don't mind the late night, late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night, late night radio
Na na na na not at all
Na na na na not at all
Na na na na not at all
Na na na na not at all
Na na na na not at all
Na na na na not at all
New York was dark, dirty and stark
Burning with yellow wings
Everyday come with fever and hum
Who knows what it brings
Walking a wall without a thought
To fall and hit the ground
Oh sweet Mary Jane with eyes like rain
Alive to the sound
She don't mind the late night, late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night, late night radio
She don't mind the late night, late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night, late night radio

The moment I wake up, before I put on my make-up
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now and wonderin' what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, forever you'll stay in my heart and I will love you
Forever and ever we never will part and I will love you
Together, together that's how it must be
To live without you could only mean heartbreak for me
I run for the bus dear, while riding I think of us, dear
And say a little prayer for you
At work I just take time and all through my coffee break time
I say a little prayer for you
Darlin' believe me, for me there is no one but you
Say you love me too, 'cause I'm in love with you
Answer my prayer now, say you love me too
Just answer my prayer now, say you love me too
The moment I wake up, before I put on my make-up
Answer my prayer now, say you love me too

I skimmed across black water
Without once submerging onto the banks of an urban morning
That hunger's the first light
Much much more than mountains ever do
And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin
And emerges unlearned, unashamed, unharmed
For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature
And I am the geek with the Alchemist's stone
For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others
You'll find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand
For having left the path of others
You'll find a very special hand
And it is a holy thing and it is a precious time
And it is the only way
Forget-me-nots among the snow, it's always been and so it goes
To ponder his death and his life eternally
One bright blue rose outlives all those
Two thousand years and still it goes
