                                Blind As Hope / LYRICS

1 BLIND AS HOPE

Blind as hope drinking red wine

Watching soap without you

I'm so dutiful I speed down

Every slope.

 CHORUS

But if I could raise all my life to your gaze

I'd be free from all lack 

Fearlessly open I'd see

There's no turning back - no turning back.

Here my flesh

Fades with each breath

For you were my oxygen

And now there's nothing left.

CHORUS

Everyday I see you every day - every day and I see you walking away away. 

Am I better or am I worse

Heaven then earth

Each day is a mircle 

Of hunger and thirst.

CHORUS

2 TAPESTY

Come now call me by name

Far far across the lake

Come now my love and tell me again 

Tell me this heart will break.

Come now speak soft in my ear

Your voice I'm always longing to hear

Come now wherever you be

Speak with the land that's holding me.

Weave her a tapestry in meadowsweet

And drape it across her eyes

For she only sees such misery

Blood red in endless sky.

Come now lie down with me

And wee the stars shine bright

See my love in every spark

Watch my love ignite.

Weave her a tapestry in meadowsweet

And drape it across her eyes

For she only sees such misery

Blood red in endless sky.

3 LACRIMOSA

If you go now

Go away

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

If you come back

But you don't stay

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

If you go away

If you go away.

If you leave me

Leave today

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

If you go away 

If you go away.

(Of all the places I have seen

 There's nothing left

Of all the faces I have been

 There's nothing left) 

4 ENDGAME

This is where I want to be

Here where you lie distracted 

Next to me. 

CHORUS 

If this is where our endgame starts to start 

Follow your dream follow your heart

Follow your dream follow your heart.

Leave the light on when you go

My eyes are blind to everything

I need to know. 

CHORUS

Your disappearing

Floating over the horizon

Gently and as one we come apart.

CHORUSES.

5 CALL MY NAME 

Call - won't you call my name

Call - oh won't  you call my name

Say that it's not over now

Oh my love - say it's not over now

My love call - oh won't you call my name again.

Come - take me back in your arms

Once more - have me back in your arms

My love it's not over now

No it's not over now

Call won't you call my name again.

What am I - Who am I - How can I - Be without you

Where am I - How can I - Why can I - Be without you

What am I - Who am I - How can I - Be without you

6 THE MEMORY

And when the mind has played it's final game

And when the ship has left the shore

Oh the memory

Oh the memory

When the clouds clear and all is unknown to me 

My head of gold my heart is emerald green

Oh the memory

Oh the memory

7 LONGEST DAY

I see you so far away I feel more yours than mine

People and house are falling through time

Rainbow cars are travelling into a sunset sign.

And we climbing very slow

Through our longest day

All we truly know

Only love can say

Leaning through each afternoon ocean blaze of blue

Drowning on purpose in this love for you

From the crying motorway empty cars drive through.

And we climbing very slow

Through our longest day

All we truly know

Only love can say

8 TIMELESS LIGHT

Is there no way to make this right I feel so tired and worn

Remember when you ran to me in colours I will write

Impossible parade to fool and blind my sight.

In timeless light

In timeless light

Did I stand by and let you go I feel always unsure

Foolish I descendied all the stations of my flight

Cold laughter in the dark so tireless in my plight. 

In timeless light

In timeless light

Will I discover that the dream of you running from me

Keeps recurring endlessly to lacerate my site

To show how far I fell from such a bitter height.

In timeless light

In timeless light

9 A LITTLE MISADVENTURE

Fly high draw my rapture to you

My butterfly blue

Our day is unbroken.

Bright sky on my heartbeat you flew

My butterfly blue 

The dream has a woken.

Glide by every moment anew

My butterfly blue

The silence has spoken 

10 MYSTERY AND WONDER

Weep and so am I

Gone is the season of happiness

Clouds have filled our sky

Now I am lost and invisable.

Saw a day go by

Mystery and wonder

Saw a bright parade

Saw through this masquerade

We can be free - free.

Like a stone forgetting

Swift is the flight of loves departing

When the sun is fallen

Dark is the dream I feel starting.

Saw a day go by

Mystery and wonder

Saw a bright parade

Saw through this masquerade

We can be free - free.

Fathoms Deep / LYRICS

 

1 PORT ERIN

From the east a dust cloud rose dark against the sky

I knew then they were after us

By noon next day we came upon a well that had run dry

I preyed then for a miracle.

CHORUS

I thought back to the time an island fresh and green

The sun in your hair your face all the joy I had seen

We walked to Port Erin fair your hand slips into mine

O why did I leave to sail over oceans in time 

So bitter now the wine.

We hid inside a roofless church waiting for to die

While birds of prey were circling

I held the ring you gave to me so tightly in my hand

And knew one day we’d meet again.

CHORUS

In a dream you came to me - dried blood upon your head

You took my hand and spoke to me

There is a place I’m going to  - no vale of tears you said

And one day you will join me there.

CHORUS

2 LEAN DOWN ON ME

Dying lights blood red caberat

No reason so before the red eyed evening prey
Crows drop through hot copper dusk
Our shadows move but never us
I dream of horses.

Lean down on me
Lean down on me.

They bore you not sleeping through the trees
Suits of black cold stonework frieze lone tolling bell
Ten years ago beside the fence you laughed and gestured without sense
I drifted north.


Lean down on me
 Lean down on me.
 
3 ON VAUXHALL BRIDGE

If we do nothing wrong

We feel victorious

But is it good enough

Just too avoid the bad.

CHORUS

I can swim in the water

But I won’t drift with the tide

I can go where the 4 winds blow

But I won’t run and I won’t hide.

Time hates our love to stay

Drives us to be alone

Slow rain to wash away

Our names from marble stone.

CHORUS 

One day if you see me

Dressed in my cotton gown

Cry out as they lower me

Into the cold cold ground.

CHORUS

4 LITTLE LAMB

 

Hold me close my little lamb 

Fortune favours the brave and I love you so much

But the drinkers in the bar room of your mind

Are the very ones I didn’t want to find.

Secretly the past comes in

Poisoning the good things exaggerates the bad

And the lifer in the prison of your heart

Is the very one to tear our love apart.

O why did I pick the weakest rose

Why did I plant a blood red vine

Why do I hate the thing I chose?

And call-a bad man mine

And call-a bad man mine.

I wonder now maybe it’s over

But I can’t stand the sight of  you looking unhappy

But the idler in the factory of your eyes

Is the only one I truly now despise.

CHORUS

O Why did I pick the weakest rose

Why did I plant a blood red vine

Why do I hate the thing I chose?

And call a bad man mine

And call a bad man mine

And call a bad man mine

And call a bad man mine.

5 HOLLOW

 

This was to be

Something I thought

Would set us free

Now we’re tied more and more

Hollow with the child I never bore

Following a path we never saw.

Who’ll take my hand I dunno if I’ll ever understand

Who’ll take my hand I dunno if I’ll ever understand love

I don’t know if I’ll ever understand.

Just let me go

I want too much

Faith proved too strong

It kept me bound to your touch

I never meant to hurt you anytime

I never knew that I could be so blind.

Who’ll take my hand I dunno if I’ll ever understand

Who’ll take my hand I dunno if I’ll ever understand

Who’ll take my hand I dunno if I’ll ever understand

Who’ll take my hand I dunno if I’ll ever understand love

No I don’t know if I’ll ever understand love

I don’t know if I’ll ever understand love.

6 FALCONDALE

I have wings to soar to fly a bird I long to be

Now the earth is cracked and dry the air will carry me

And if I wear my feathered crown no human I will try

No falling I will spread my wings and fly.

And what will swim inside my blood like Mississippi brine

And where my footprints drag thru mud my only earthly sign

And now I hear from rocky cliff the pure white seabirds cry

And like them I will spread my wings and fly.

Above a black and roaring sea so effortless I glide

And if the winter come to me in feathered nest I hide

Into a day of turquoise-gold I blaze into the sky

In rolling air I spread my wings and fly.

And all the humans far below how stale and tired they seem

Earthbound they can never know the glory I have seen

And find no mercy in my face no gentle loving sigh

For bird-like I will spread my wings and fly, and fly and fly.

7 I FALL

I learnt my lesson 

I learnt it well

I can't go far without you

I can't go far

They say love is everything

I know this is true 

I can do anything

When I'm here with you

People never change until their back's against the wall

I can't seem to change but as the axe begins to fall

I fall for you my love

I fall for you.

And in our wilderness 

A concrete rose

I watered with my tears

I helped it grow.

People never change until their back's against the wall

I can't seem to change but as the axe begins to fall

I fall for you my love

I fall for you

8 ALL I GOT

This is the slow train baby

With the worn out seats and rusted engine

This is the slow train baby

With the smoke stack gone and a broken fender

But it's all that I got 

Yeah it's all that I got

So let me live my life and go

Chorus

Where did the road divide

Why did I follow the signs that pointed backwards

When did the feeling take me

That I'm tired of coping such a fool for hoping.

Chorus 

Ooh this is a slow train baby you gotta let me live my life and go.

9 IN THE SPRING

We travelled light and moved by night

A bitter foe we harried

We camped at dawn and ate the corn

We carried.

CHORUS

On the day the soldiers came

The bullets fell like driving rain

They drove us up to Capstan Hill

Where from our coats the grain did spill

And though to heaven we all flew

In the Spring the bright corn grew

In the Spring the bright corn grew.

On that day cut flowers we lay

Our blood through earth was seeping

And cross the sky pale riders rode by

All weeping.

CHORUS

A flame goes out no gun will doubt

How cheap the life it’s claiming

And here for you just love that’s true

Remaining

CHORUS

20 FATHOMS DEEP

 

And now I can’t forget you

I made a vow to keep

Into my life I let you

20 Fathoms deep

20 fathoms deep.

On earth as if in heaven

We lulled our dreams to sleep

But now I feel I’m waking

20 fathoms deep

20 fathoms deep.

The barleycorn is growing

Our harvest still to reap

I know one day we’re going

20 fathoms deep

20 fathoms deep.

Our boat upon the water

The waves so high they leap

The last wave now, the last wave now has bought us

20, 20 fathoms deep

20 fathoms deep.

Gonna rest my bones

Gonna hear the ocean breathe

I ain’t gonna leave

20 fathoms deep

20 fathoms deep

The boat upon the water

The waves so high they leap

The last wave now the last wave now has bought us

20 fathoms deep

20 fathoms deep.


CARVING HEADS ON CHERRY STONES / LYRICS


SOMERSET / LYRICS 

1 SEPTEMBER RENDEZVOUS

People never learn to go beyond their boundaries
I am bound to you Shangri-La in acid blue.

Storm clouds cross and flex we're hooked on speeds dark motorway
Cars metaphor sex each lonely seed cannot conceive there's more to love than this.

September rendezvous 
You made our wonderland
September rendezvous
You made our wonderland come true.

Begging at your gate locked in boredom's ecstasy
Life's B-side where I wait
Turning our tropic of love into a tropic of hate.


September rendezvous 
You made our wonderland
September rendezvous
You made our wonderland come true.

2 IN THE VALLEY 

As they lead you to the station
my love you're beautiful
You are so beautiful 
To me.

As spring flowers in our garden
Grow to be beautiful
you are so beautiful 
To me.

And I need to know just why
They took you from my life
The nature of the crime 
They accused you of?

As I see  you for the last time
Your face is turned away
Your face is turned away
From me.

And I need to know just why
They took you from my life
The nature of the crime 
They accused you of?

3 FALLING EVERYWHERE 

The falling leaves are like my dreams
Falling everywhere
 Calling everywhere.

And though a part of me is bound to leave
I'm crawling everywhere
 Falling everywhere.

Joy joy joy joy joy 

Where is the innocence where is the child I was
Taking everything
 Breaking everything

If I could talk to you in someway real 
We'd be calling everywhere
 Falling everywhere.
