Gravel Walks 04:51
lyrics

The first time I walked on water A long boat took me away Across the World to far off places There was adventure in the air I saw the lights of famous cities The Background and the Fair Ploughed the stars and ground up diamonds I took you with me everywhere There are days we will remember There are nights we will not forget The sun is high up in The Circle And when the rain falls It talks and talks And Gravel Walks The first time I walked on water A long boat took me away Across the World to other places There was magic in the air Raised up stories Tall as voices The Detail and the Prayer The words ran into one another I took you with me everywhere In my mind there is a country Where you and I will meet again For when time is dear and older Back from there we will begin From this land I left to follow And journey to a foreign shore All I loved and all I carried To be here with you once more There are days we will remember There are nights we will not forget The sun is high up in The Circle And when the rain falls It talks and talks And Gravel Walks © J.

London bus pass on the table Yellow brolly by the door People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill Unmarked cars on every corner Killer rainbows in the street People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill London whitewash Daily paper Blue transparent window panes People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill Meet the man who sells the flavour Ice cream Smack scream Take away People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill London black cab Engine running Sleeping dogs Lay lady lie People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill Home is where the broken heart is Everything you do is right People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill London bus pass on the table Yellow brolly by the door People say they will We all live on Hungry Hill People always will We all live on Hungry Hill © J Eoin

Today I took my life Left home for the last time Wandered back outside Watched some people waiting None of them could see me They looked in all directions I danced around behind them First and gone in seconds Today I took my life Today I took my life Loved you for the last time Wandered back outside Watched some people waiting None of them could see me They looked in all directions I danced around behind them First and gone in seconds I Ran Away Lived to fight another Today I took my life Left home for the last time Wandered back outside Watched some people waiting None of them could see me They looked in all directions I danced around behind them First and gone in seconds Shadowman is clear Looks through you like water Today I took my life © J Eoin

Acrobat 03:25

There’s a tightrope here An acrobat could walk over A clown might fall End up in the water We laugh out loud Sing along with the crowd There’s a tightrope here There’s a mystery here A new land to discover A tree might fall Make a sound like thunder We talk all night Set the world to right There’s a mystery here I have always wanted to open up my eyes I have always wanted you by my side We were meant for each other There’s a place near here A stones throw from the centre Where no one knows It’s a secret adventure We step inside Let the stars decide There’s a place near here I have always wanted to see with my own eyes I have always wanted you by my side We were meant for each other © J Eoin

Her name was Anne She stood like a man Beside her comrades and soldiers Smooth as a stone A long way from home She was never away Her name was Anne She fought like a man Brave were her comrades and soldiers Sharp as a stone A long way from home She was never away I can see what you are thinking Follow your thoughts with my eyes Her name was Anne She died like a man At the hands of the enemy soldiers Cold as a stone A long way from home She was never away I can see what you are thinking Follow your thoughts with my eyes You thought I was sleeping I was only dreaming Rock-a-bye Ann © J Eoin

Waves 05:31
lyrics

Dust on the road blows along forever No one knows how far it goes The signs have holes Clear as the daylight No one knows which way to turn Over the hills Down through the valleys We rushed like waves breaking on the shore Higher than high Low as the thunder We danced in the sand by the Adriatic Sea The ways of the war are distant and futile Broken rules lie all around What few have seen Many more have witnessed Standing still in the fields Over the hills Down through the valleys We rushed like waves breaking on the shore Hidden from the view Living in the open We danced in the sand by the Adriatic Sea Those who know say little or nothing Everybody else just talks Words get lost End up with no meaning We tell it all among ourselves Over the hills Down through the valleys We rushed like waves breaking on the shore Sang from our hearts Rolled with the laughter We danced in the sand by the Adriatic Sea Over the hills Down through the valleys We rushed like waves breaking on the shore Higher than high Low as the thunder We danced in the sand by the Adriatic Sea Higher than high Low as the rumble We danced in the sand by the Adriatic Sea The side of the road falls away forever No one knows how deep it goes © J Eoin

Sky Anvils 04:59

The cock crew in the morning I was awake and you were still Paradise was taken I heard the trains You called out numbers in your sleep Back behind the station The door was locked The one way in Stayed most days Long as I could Life moved slowly through the afternoons Never one of us Always someone else Sleeping in the corner Dreaming as the cars went by Talking to myself Listening for the sound of your voice Following footsteps In the middle of the street Skipping like a stone Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets Attract me to you Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets Attract me too The years flew without warning The days were like a rush You said it yourself Remember why you came and what you did No one asks or wonders where it all goes Back behind the curtains The pictures on the wall Stayed most nights Long as I could Left later in the early hours Only one or two On a quiet night Sitting in the corner Wishing as the cars went by Talking about myself Listening to the sound of your voice Counting footsteps From the middle of the street Stepping like a stone Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets Attract me to you Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets Attract me too Never one of us Always someone else Standing on the corner Watching as the cars go by Talking to myself Listening for the sound of your voice Following footsteps In the middle of the street Skipping like a stone Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets Attract me to you Sky Anvils and Glass Magnets Attract me too © J Eoin

Leaves always come back again The sun shines and birds start to sing We walk by The river at low tide Love in the Bermondsey Spring Clouds always roll back again They bring the snow and the rain We walk by Bridges hold the sky Love in the Bermondsey Spring Roads always lead back again From here to where we first began We walk by You and I Love in the Bermondsey Spring © J Eoin

For the young and the old For the brave and the new The ways of our fathers are no longer true Too much has been taken There’s nothing left for you Songs from the Green Wood Tall Tales from the Blue No means never Never means no No means never Never means more No Nay Jack Ramble No never No more The waters are rising There’s a flood on the plain The waves from the ocean will draw you back in Washed up on the shore by the wind and the rain The turn of the tide The wax and the wane No means never Never means no No means never Never means more No Nay Jack Ramble No never No more Guns on the corner There’s a fire in the land War on the street There’s a knife in your hand The line it is drawn The general last stand This world is one country to the very last man No means never Never means no No means never Never means more No Nay Jack Ramble No never No more For the young and the old For the brave and the new The ways of our fathers are no longer true Too much has been taken There’s nothing left for you Songs from the Green Wood Tall Tales from the Blue © J Eoin

I will not forget the way You looked as you were falling down Head first to the floor So far away you never landed Today I went back to that place But you were not there You were gone I closed the open door Turned the key and took it with me If you want to know You must ask yourself I will be the one to call I remember everything As it happened As it was I will not forget this after all I will not forget the way You looked as you were falling over I saw you hit the floor So hard and fast I started running Today I went back to that place But you were not there You were gone I closed the open door Turned the key and took it with me If you want to know You must ask yourself I will be the one to call I remember everything As it happened As it was I will not forget this after all I wrote my finest line And left it on a Legion Leaf So when you passed by You would know I was waiting too © J Eoin

Sometimes she said when you’re not here I listen to the whispers from your heart Sometimes she said when I’m alone I find myself fading in the dark Overtaken by the wind Lost and forsaken Drifting in Sometimes she said when you’re not here I listen for the whispers in your heart Sometimes she said the moon and stars Are all that stand between us and the night Sometimes she said they cross the sky Crash below the waves Out of sight Roll like thunder Break the sound Fall to pieces Raining down Sometimes she said the moon and stars Are all that stand between us and what’s right I’m still standing I’m still here Sometimes she said when you’re not here I listen to the whispers from your heart Sometimes she said when I’m alone I find myself fading in the dark Overtaken by the wind Lost and forsaken Drifting in Sometimes she said when you’re not here I listen for the whispers in your heart We’re just whispers apart Just whispers apart Whispers apart © J Eoin

Bless the wind And wild about you Listen to my voice Watch over me I saw your face You were dreaming up the World Under the Green Umbrella Tree Bless the Sun And child about you Listen to my voice Watch over me I saw your face You were laughing in the Rain Under the Green Umbrella Tree Bless the hill And sky about you Listen to my voice Watch over me I saw your face You were talking down the Moon Under the Green Umbrella Tree I’ll wait for you Until you come and wait for me Under the Green Umbrella Tree © J Eoin
