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 When it's 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 its evening time and I reach for you lying beside me Now its evening time your kiss will be tender and sure Now its evening time just like every time In the 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 instance 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 Summer sent you |

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......... |

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 spend 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 hearts 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 and nothing else really counts |

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) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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? |
