Mary Black - Live [compilation] (2003) by Mary Black (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

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

Better keep your distance from this whale
Better keep your boat from going astray
Find yourself a partner and treat them well
Try to give them shelter night and day
'Cause here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
You can't even feel right

So you dream of Columbus
Ever time the panic starts
You dream of Columbus
With your maps and your beautiful charts
You dream of Columbus
With an ache in your travelling heart

See how the cormorant swoops and dives
Must be some thrill to go that deep
Down to the basement of this life
Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps
Not like here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded
You can't even feel alright

Chorus

And as tide must ebb and flow
I am dragged down under
And I wait the livelong day
For an end to my hunger

So I dream of Columbus
Every time that the panic starts
I dream of Columbus
With my maps and my beautiful charts
I dream of Columbus
And there's peace in a traveling heart
I dream of Columbus

Remember when we walked on hills of heather
Singing weaving mystical rings
Now in a while my precious child
You wil unfurl your wings
And I'll have lost what I believed
Had promised everything
But before you go my friend, my kind companion
Listen to this song I sing

Then go in peace and grow in grace and goodness
Know that you have nothing to fear
And dry your eyes my little one
And let there be no tears
Send me a dream from away beyond
I promise I shall hear
Oh beautifull beloved soul companion
Thank you for those beautifull years

And heaven hold and watch your way forever
May your every dream com true
Forgive all wrong, always be strong
And do what you must do
You stand before this open door
And you must now go through
My precious friend, my own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you
My precious friend, myu own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you

When times are hard and friends are few
And you need someone to help you through
Just call my name and I'll come running to your side
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

I will be there
When you are lost in the night
No where to run
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

When morning comes and nothing's changed
And the world around plays the same old game
Just call on me and I will ease your lonely heart
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

I will be there
When you are lost in the night
No where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid
I will be there
When every one that you believe still lets you down
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

Cause I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there

When morning comes and nothing's changed
And the world around plays the same old game
When everyone still lets you down
I will be there

When morning comes and friends are few
You need someone you need someone to help you through
I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there don't be afraid
I will be there

When you are lost in the night
No where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
I will be there

When everyone that you believe still lets you down
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid
I will be there

When you are lost in the night
No where to turn
I will be there
Don't be afraid don't be afraid

Chorus

In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here

On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire

Chorus

There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown

Chorus

On Racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By Lough Cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay

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 alchemists' stone

Chorus

For all of you who must discover,
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You 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

Chorus

For all of you who must discover
For all who seek to understand,
For having left the path of others
You find a very special hand

And it is a holy thing
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

The day won't open it's eyes
The heavens above must be sick
I'm stood at the windows since five
All decked out for the trip

Hey Hey I'm dying to meet with you
Hey Hey I'm living to speak with you
Hey Hey I'm waiting to meet you baby
Hey Hey Hey

Chorus

Big trip to Portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to Portland
My soul shall be healed

The master's out of my reach
He wanders around in the rain
Today is all that I seek
Today when I hold you again

Hey Hey I'm dying to meet with you
Hey Hey I'm living to speak with you
Hey Hey I'm waiting to meet you baby
Hey Hey Hey

Big trip to Portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to Portland
My soul shall be healed

I take a prize I win the day
You say you love me all the way
And I kill the pain that drags you down
You take us on from town to town

The sun's burning all thru' the day
It's doing the best it can do
I came with my bucket and spade
I came with the same things as you

Big trip to Portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to Portland
My soul shall be healed

Big trip to Portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to Portland
My soul shall be healed

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

Walking all the day
Near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Siver winged they fly
They know the call of freedom in their breasts
Saw Black Head against the sky
With twisted rocks that run down to the sea

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Talking all the day
With true friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news
Singing songs to pass the night away
Watched the Galway salmon run
Like silver dancing, darting in the sun

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Drinking all the day
In old pubs where fiddlers loved to play
Someone touched the bow
He played a reel, it seemed so grand and gay
Stood on Dingle beach
And cast in wild foam, we found Atlantic bass

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Dreaming in the night
I saw a land where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly
They twist and turn all in you e'er blue sky

Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland

He don't know how to lie
Or undermine you
He don't know how to steal
How to deal or deceive
So leave him alone, set him free
Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see

You say he's so helpless
Well what about you
You don't pull the strings
Don't you know anything
Just leave him alone, let him be
Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see

Would you teach him about heaven
Would you show him how to love the earth
Would you poison him with prejudice
From the moment of his birth

He in the name of love
He in the blood of the lamb
He that never lays blame
He don't even know his name
Just leave him alone, let him be
Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
The very one that spoke to you and me
Oh do you remember?

Tumbling curls of green by stained glass streaming light,
And a yellow coloured lampshade-used to keep us up all night,
And the smile upon your face, a tear upon your cheek,
And the night sky on the window-your heart calling out to me.

Chorus
Come running home again Katie, come running home again,
Cross my heart and hope to die, shall I cause another tear from your eye?

The mirror that wont talk and your nightgown on the door,
The old pedal singer just dont sing no more,
You can roll the reels for hours, from the movie from this book,
It's a question mark on this heart of mine, sends an elder back to look.

Chorus(followed by immediate): Katie.

Now I'm looking through a tunnel back into the room,
With the genius of a Druid, when the sunlight floods the tomb,
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't any way,
'Cause though I made the great escape, I never got away.

Chorus

Schooldays over, come on then john
Time to be getting your pit boots on
On with your sack and your moleskin trousers
Time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning a pitman's pay.

Come on then jim, it's time to go
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and shovel
You start at the pits today


Time to be learning the collier's job
And earning a collier's pay.

Come on then dai, it's nearly light
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the miner's job
And earning a miner's pay

Repeat first verse

When I lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my minds on happiness, yes
Some of the time but not for long
I get a feeling of something that's yet to come
I get a picture telling me what's undone

Chorus

When I find out that you don't love me honey
When I find out that your going away
There'll be no surprise
Because I saw you running
Saw you running from where I lay
There'll be no surprise
Because I saw you running
Saw you running from where I lay

Well I've got an eye upon the road
And I've got a hand to hold my heavy load oh yes
I've got a man and I've got a gun
One is for fighting oh the other one is just for fun
One is for fighting oh the other one is just for fun

Chorus

When I lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my minds on happiness, yes
Some of the time but not for long
I get a feeling of something that's yet to come
I get a picture telling me what's undone

2x Chorus

Phone calls and taxi-rides
And somebody's leaving
Misunderstandings get out of control
And the right words get left
And the wrong words get spoken
He's gone but not your pride

Chorus

Not much can help
The full heart that's breaking
Can't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to the bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone

Look at you now
You're the picture of sorrow
Head in your hands
Like a scene from a movie
And all of the things
That seemed so important
Are leaves and are blowing away

Chorus

Nothing can help
The full heart that's breaking
You can't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to the bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone

Walk through this town
On a cold Sunday morning
Soldiers in uniforms
Guns in their hands
The world all caught up
With barbed wire fences
I'm free I'm free as stone

Chorus

Oh nothing can help
The full heart that's breaking
Won't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
You're free free as stone

It was one of those days
When to shine was of no value
One of those days
When the language had no grace
We were miles apart
And I stood there with my head spinning
Just another poor soul
Trying hard not to lose faith

We had it engraved
We had the key to a union
But you wanted more
So we both kept on losing

Fat valley of pain
Fat valley of pain inside
And this pain will not end
'Cause loving you is what I was made for

You were like one of those rainbows
We glimpse for a few seconds
One of those dreams
That could last for a life long
Now I'm quizzing myself
And it's always the same question
Is it wrong to believe
When the feeling so so strong?

We had engraved
We had the key to a union
But you wanted more
So we both kept on losing

It's an ill-kept secret
That something here's going wrong
Oh but my helpless feelings
They keep on leading me on

Fat valley of pain
Fat valley of pain inside
And this pain will not end
'Cause loving you is what I was made for
Fat valley of pain

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 life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
Then your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the deadmen in self addressed crates
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
And heaven has its way
When all will harmonise
And know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

Stories never end 'til you come to conclusions:
Carolina ruadh has a hand in my confusion.
Waits for me to choose which quarter to bend in.
To Susie-Make-Me-Blue, or the redhead I'm attending.

Oh Carolina ruadh has my heart and all I want to do's
Go down the windy road where my Carolina goes:
Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
Mo Charolina ruadh, do you love me?
Tell me true, tell me......
Standing on three queens, thought the game was over.
Then, from the blue, Carolina's at my shoulder:
Laughter in her eyes and a smile
That touches all the guys

On down the crooked road where Carolina goes to school
--Mo Charolina ruadh, do you love me?
Tell me true, tell me..

The sheep's in the meadow
The cow's in the corn
Now is the time for a child to be born
You'll laugh at the moon and you'll cry for the sun
And if it's a boy he'll carry a gun
Sang the crow on the cradle

And if it should be that this baby is a girl
Never you mind if her hair doesn't curl
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
A shadow above her wherever she goes
Sang the crow on the cradle

The crow on the cradle
The black on the white
Somebody's baby, is born for a fight
The crow on the cradle
The white on the black
Somebody's baby is not coming back
Sang the crow on the cradle
Sang the crow on the cradle

Bring me my gun and I'll shoot that bird dead
That's what your mother and father once said
The crow on the cradle what can we do
This is a thing I must leave up to you
Sang the crow on the cradle
Sang the crow on the cradle'

Tumbling curls of green by stained glass streaming light,
And a yellow coloured lampshade-used to keep us up all night,
And the smile upon your face, a tear upon your cheek,

'Cause though I made the great escape, I never got away.

Chorus

From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down
At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was
If it was mine I should be glad
That I still function in this cage
But if it's yours it only makes me more lost
To see a tear rolling down
To see a tear rolling down

This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe.

I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love
Above the noise on the quay their voices rise
They must have something so strong in the face of such change
That they can promise and promise all night
Oh, their undying love, hear their undying love

This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say

So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe.

Oh, what you wouldn't give to be down on the pier once again
Far away from the cries of this war-weary horde
Time up there in the clouds must be hard to endure
When your heart's unsure

It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave
I feel I'm sentenced to a death without appeal
I can pretend it's all a dream
And what I'm seeing will disappear
But the end I can see is all too real
Knowing you're taking leave
Knowing you're taking leave

This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye, babe
Goodbye, babe
