Take Your Time
03:28
|
|||
through the fingers of the dawn
slips a new light, we’re children reborn
take your time, take your time
seasons come, people grow
wounds heal, so deep below
take your time, take your time
show me now, what surrender brings
peace and solitude, some wondering
take your time, take your time
i am free, just like you
to make the choices, to be true
take your time, take your time

The Edge of the Land
03:50
|
|||
rolls and rolls of barbed wire waves
years and years of industry fades
attack a shoreline, where a shipwreck once lay
at the edge of the land
decades of daily strife
fisherman’s pride and head-scarved wives
make for inspiring lives, for the city’s children
at the edge of the land
new wavelengths, ocean sensations
the tide spins round and around once more
departures, new arrivals
culture, it breathes at the shoreline
memories of people passed
ideas flown and nets cast
reaching out for what the future holds
grab it tight and don’t let go
at the edge of the land
the passion fires of yesterday
still burn bright and can’t be washed away
by the salt tide that ebbs and sways
shapes our land into what we see today
at the edge of the land

Silence On The Hillside
04:42
|
|||
we are all tiny people
full of love bigger than our hearts
when the sun rises, it reminds me
we are never truly apart
silence on the hillside
you know, it feels like night time
but the birds sing, and the sun shines
and it’s deserted down in the valley
people with family
sharing quiet stories at home
leaves are forming all around us
whispering that spring is around the bend
a time for kindness and productivity
a reminder that the shadows of stress will die
silence on the hillside
you know, it feels like night time
but the birds still sing, and the sun shines
and it’s deserted down in the valley
people with family
sharing quiet stories at home

Roads
04:06
|

and it all comes rolling back
some of these memories have been kept hidden
far off the beaten track
on the roads in my mind
i see you dancing in that confident way
now i know, you were roaming around
in your infinite circle of doubt
and it all comes rolling back
some of these memories have been kept hidden
far off the beaten track
on the roads in my mind
i hear you laughing in that forgotten way
now i know, it was all
just a show

Shannon Road
03:47
|
|||
plain-clothes police are breathing
down the necks of those who are creeping
and i’m driving away from saturday night
and i’m going past the top of your street again tonight
and the streetlights, they flicker on and off
on and off, on and off
it’s the shannon road silent disco …
someone’s burning his old wardrobe on the green
and all the kids are laughing
barefooted on the grass
and the cold is coming in, it’s september again
and the streetlights, they flicker on and off
on and off, on and off
it’s the shannon road silent disco …
you’re not here anymore, you’re not here anymore
and all the apples on the tree, in the garden that was yours
are all falling to the floor
because you’re not here anymore, you’re not here anymore
and the streetlights, they still flicker on and off
on and off, on and off

Wormhole
03:24
|
|||
you are like headlights
in the darkest night
uncovering the clearing sky
like walking after rain
or sleeping when you’re tired
and i’ll shelter under the warmth of your love
twelve hours of moonlight
with the mist in the air
and darkness brings midnight
and it throws away my care
with the morning comes sunrise
and the wood pigeon’s call
and i rise from my pillow
and i climb out of the wormhole
sadness is a teacher
who we must come to know
he lets us know where we can go
like the wind that bites my cheeks
or like the jasmine in the evening
you make me strong, come the day
twelve hours of moonlight
with the mist in the air
and darkness brings midnight
and it throws away my care
with the morning comes sunrise
and the wood pigeon’s call
and i rise from my pillow
and i climb out of the wormhole
(dgdgbd, capo 1)

Go Your Way
05:24
|
|||
drawing water from the well
spilling over on the grass
walking home my heart is filled with pain
you go your way oh my love
you go your way oh my love
as i wander through the trees
picking up the windy leaves
i wonder where you will be sleeping now
you go your way oh my love
you go your way oh my love
and i hope the west wind speeds your travel
and the sun shines on your hair
make believe that i am with you
you go your way oh my love
you go your way oh my love
friends and strangers bring stories
when asked where you have been
magic stories they do tell to me
you go your way oh my love
you go your way oh my love
and as i sit mending your clothes
that you will never wear
looking daily for you, i do prepare
you go your way oh my love
you go your way oh my love …

Sweet and Gentle
04:47
|
|||
all my answers come to me
in the night time, so softly
sweet and gentle, as the snow falls
so quietly
all your answers come to me
in the night time, so softly
sweet and gentle, as the snow falls
so quietly
so quietly

Forevermore
03:42
|
|||
tie me down, say what you will
make it quick, i know it’ll hurt like hell
it’s the fourth time we’ve been here before
and i’m so close to closing the door
forevermore, forevermore
before you go, i wish you well with your travelling
may the darkness turn to light within
god only knows what’ll happen then
you don’t know whether you’re coming or going
forevermore, forevermore
and i’m sending all of my love to you, oh
and maybe then, when you open the door
the sun will shine and fall on the floor
and it won’t feel like it did before
you’ll know what it means to be loved
forevermore, forevermore
so tie me down, say what you will
make it quick, i know it’ll hurt like hell
it’s the fourth time we’ve been here before
but it won’t happen anymore
