2.
On An Island
Remember that night...
White sails in the moonlight
They walked it too...
Through empty playground,
this ghost's town
Children again on rusting
swings getting higher
Sharing a dream
On an Island.... it felt
right
We lay side by side,
Between the moon and the
tide
Mapping the stars for a
while
Let the night surround you
We're half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the
warmth beside you
Remember that night,
The warmth and the laughter
Candles burn...
Though the church was deserted
At dawn we went down through
empty streets to the harbour
Dreamers may leave ...but
we're here everafter...
Da da da da da....
Let the night surround you
We're half way to the stars,
Ebb and flow
Let it grow..... feel the
warmth beside you...
4. Take A Breath
Take a breath
Take a deep breath now
Take a breath
A deep breath now
Take a breath
When you're down is where
you find yourself
When you're drown there's
nothing else
If you're lost you'll need
to turn yourself
Then you'll find out that
there's no one else
To make the moves that you
can do
When you fall from grace
your eyes in blue
Your every breath becomes
another world
And the far horizon's living
hell
Take a breath
A deep breath now
This kind of love is hard
to find
I never got to you by being
kind
If I'm the one to throw
you overboard
At least I showed you how
to swim for shore
When you're down is where
you'll know yourself
Then if you're drown there's
nothing else
When you're lost you need
to find yourself
Then you'll find out that
there's no one else
9. A Pocketful Of Stones
He's sending stones skimming
and flying
Circles spinning out his
time
Though the earth is dying
his head is in the stars
Chances are this spark's
a lifetime
Out of touch he'll live
in wonder
Won't lose sleep he'll just
pretend
In his world he won't go
under
Turns without him until
the end
Rivers run dry but there's
no line on his brow
Says he doesn't care who's
saved
It's just the dice you roll,
the here and now
And he's not guilty or afraid
One day he'll slip away
Cool water flowing all around
In the river and on the
ground
Leave a pocketful of stones
and not believe in other lives
Until then he'll live in
wonder
He won't fight or comprehend
In his world he won't go
under
Turns without him until
the end |
3.
The Blue
Shameless sea
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for
you
Still, marooned
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Ceaselessly
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Waves roll
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Wait for me
Shamelss you, the sea
Soon, the Blue
So soon...
6. This Heaven
All the pieces fall into
place
When we walk these fields
And I reach out to touch
your face
This earthly heaven is enough
for me
So break the bread and pour
the wine
I need no blessings but
I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money
buys
When I see the faith in
my children's eyes
I've felt the power in a
holy place
And wished for comfort when
in need
Now I'm here in a state
of grace
This earthly heaven is enough
for me
So break the bread and pour
the wine
I need no blessings but
I'm counting mine
Life is much more than money
buys
When I see the faith in
my children's eyes
8. Smile
Would this do
To make it all right
While sleep has taken you
Where I'm out of sight
I'll make my getaway
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home
To your smile
Wasting days and days
On this night
Always down and up
Half the night
Hopeless to reminisee
Through the dark hours
We'll only sacrifice
What time will allow us
You're sighing... sighing
All alone
Though you're right here
Now it's time to go
From your sad stare
Make my getaway
Time on my own
Needing a better way
To find my way home
To your smile
10. Where
We Start
Where we start is where
we end
We step out sweetly, nothing
planned
Along by the river we feed
bread to the swans
And then over the footbridge
to the woods beyond
We walk ourselves weary,
you and I
There's just this moment
I light a campfire away
from the path
We lie in the bluebells,
a woodpecker laughs
Time passes slowly our hearts
entwined
All of the dark times left
behind
The day is done
The sun sinks low
We fold up the blanket,
it's time to go
We walk ourselves weary,
arm in arm
Back through the twilight
Home again
We waltz in the moonlight
and the embers glow
So much behind us
Still far to go
