Gravel Walks
04:51
|
|||
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

Hungry Hill
04:01
|

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

Shadowman
05:04
|
|||
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

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

Rock-a-bye Anne
02:34
|
|||
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

Waves
05:31
|
|||
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

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

Bermondsey Spring
03:31
|
|||
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

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

Legion Leaf
04:24
|
|||
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

Whispers Apart
04:24
|
|||
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

The Green Umbrella Tree
04:14
|

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
