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... |

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging
Onto the banks of an urban morning That hungers 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, unshamed, 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 To ponder his death and his life eternally One bright blue rose outlives all those Two thousand years and still it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally |

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? The Broom of The Cowdenknows How blithe each mom was I to see My lass come o'er the hill She skipped the burn and ran to me I met her with good will Chorus Oh the broom, the bonny, bonny broom The broom O' The Cowdenknowes Faen would I be in my aen country Herding her father's ewes She neither herded ewes nor lambs while the flock asleeping lay She gathered in the sheep at night And cheered me all the day Chorus It's hard that I should banished be Gang oe'r lea and moor Because I loved the fairest lass That e'er on earth was born Chorus Adieu ye bonny ewes adieu farewell all pleasures there To wander by her side again Is all I crave or care |

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... |

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... |

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... |

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... |

Adam's at the window
Staring at the 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 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 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'll drink from the canvas cup The son of a swan will then lose 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 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 Adam's 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 And Adam will have his way Adam will have his way Adam will have his way |

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm 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 have come to keep us far apart A broken promise or a broken heart Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away I need you at the dimming of the day Come the night you're only what I want Come the night you could be my confident I see you on the street in company Why don't you come and ease your mind with me I'm living for the night we steal away I need you at the dimming of the day I need you at the dimming of the day |

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. |

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... |

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... |
