Time of Letting Go
04:46
|
|||
|
Standing in the shadow of a noose
Shaking out my wrists so they are loose
Pile mistake upon mistake
Like it's the only way
Like it's the only truth
Some of this is new
And some of it I knew
In this time of letting go
(Chorus)
So I surrender to the four winds
And doff my cap to the sun
I have travelled with this weight on
My poor back for too long
Oh, In this time of letting go
Oh my father all I wanted was a sign
A simple word that said your fate would not be mine...
That moment when the sky begins to clear
And all the darkest clouds disappear
It dances like a vision
Flutters like a heartbeat
So sing it with an unforked tongue:
Some of this is new
And some of it I knew
In this time of letting go

As Gods
03:37
|

|
The fight, the fall, the fatal kiss
Upon the forehead of bliss
She’s sleeping
I hope she’s sleeping.
I feel like Canute trying to turn the tide
Give him credit for he tried
It turns out I need you
I need you so badly I do
(Chorus)
Some people live their lives
Always wanting more
They think that they see the sky
When they’re staring at the floor,
My love, what we have
Makes us as Gods.
If your beauty is a curse
I could picture plenty worse
It hurts me
Not to see you.
I watch the galley cross the bay,
Give me an oar I’ll be a slave,
It turns out that they need you
They need you just like I do.
(Chorus)
I know you dream of tidal waves
So immense there’s no escape
You were drowning
When I found you.
Now your feet won’t touch the ground
You need someone to anchor down
It turns out you need me
You need me just like I need you

Mad Gerry
03:20
|

|
They called him Mad Gerry
And said he wasn't right
They sent him to the brig
For the use of a knife
But they were all fools themselves
He'd watch them all go to hell
And Gerry had a burning
Ache in his heart
His yearning was a madness
To sing and play guitar
On the outside looking in
The fire always raged in him
(Chorus)
And when the music plays
He goes quiet as you like
His foot starts to tap
And the tears fill his eyes
If he could only sing
All the world would be all right
But as it is he just listens
Through the night.
One day Mad Gerry
Threw the madness from his life
He tried to settle down
Luck found him a loving wife
But all the straightest roads are long
And life's not always like a song
And sometimes Mad Gerry
Felt those feelings rise
And all that old madness
Swelled up in his eyes
'Cos Gerry knew he understood
A truth no on around him could
(Chorus)
Gerry raised a family
Oh he's a family man
He buried that old madness
As deep as he can
The mortgage is nearly paid
By all the hours that he slaved
Nowadays Mad Gerry
finds his peace alone
At night in the kitchen
With his radio
When everyone has gone to bed
He lets the music fill his head
(Chorus)

Adelaide
The bad dream never fades
It still wakes me up at will
Maybe I'm weak
But every time I think I'm on my feet
(Chorus)
You keep finding new ways to break my heart
Adelaide
That really was some game you played
And I gave it all away
Maybe I'm weak
But every time I think I'm on my feet
(Chorus)
And the sun won't rise
Until you're of my mind...

Doomed
02:51
|
|||
|
I’ve been stone cold sober for a week,
I’ve been getting my eight hours of sleep.
I’ve been reading up on all the rules,
And avoiding the counsel of fools.
If you saw me in the street you’d never assume,
Hey, hey, my old friend, I’m starting to feel doomed.
I once had a pair of concrete shoes,
They weighed a lot less than these blues,
There’s this feeling that I just can’t escape,
That I’m walking a line drawn by fate.
And as memories bittersweet flood this old room,
Hey, hey, my old friend, I’m starting to feel doomed.
There’s the steady beat of a drum,
A tune that I just cannot hum,
The ghost of an orchestra plays,
A requiem for a serenade.
But I don’t feel like dancing; I don’t have my dancing shoes,
Hey, hey, my old friend, I’m starting to feel doomed.
My, my, my old friend, I think I might be doomed.

Into the Wind
04:00
|
|||
|
In the morning when the world
Is dappled by the sun
The day has just begun
And anything seems
Possible until we step
and then our legs protest
We swear to do our best
but the road is long and...
Uphill and into the wind
How many years
Have we been struggling?
Uphill and into the wind
For every bluff we crest
The peak rises again
We talk of love and speak of strength
But tell me what are they
Easy words to say
And play around with
When the truth is not so clear
It's a dark, dim path
With crags to the last
And it's always...
Uphill and into the wind
How many years
Have we been struggling?
Uphill and into the wind
For every bluff we crest
The peak rises again
Sooner or later
You know we're gonna trip
It's written in the script
And if we rise up
Maybe that's what comes of love
And the source of our strength
Are those who depend
On us to take them...
Uphill and into the wind
Who is for
All this struggling?
Uphill and into the wind
If I reach the peak alone
I'll just come down again

From the very start
You were blessed with speed
Tell me what you're running for
I'll tell you what you need
Are you running just to run,
Just to feel the wind
Or is your running done
Because you want to win?
(Chorus)
Pull, pull, pull, my boy
You're the best there's ever been
Pay no mind to evil, boy
'Cos everybody sins
Pull, pull, pull, my boy
In the final reckoning
Everybody runs the race
But only one can win
Do you have it in you?
Do you know what it takes?
You might have to chance it, boy
But them, they're the shakes
The opposition's lean
The competition's strong
Do you want to own this place
Or just prove you belong
(Chorus)
Tell me when you think
Enough might be enough
I'll look you in the eye
And then I'll call your bluff
Mountains don't exist
They're just humps in the road
The other side lies bliss
Or so I've been told
(Chorus)

We're Born to Waltz
02:46
|
|||
|
Oh dance with me
Set me free
Arrest this misery
I need to move
And so do you
That’s why we have these feet
But two and four
Are the numbers of war
The beat by which we march
If you follow my lead
We’’ stick to three
For three is the rhythm of love
(Chorus)
Let’s dance away the foolishness
Of a world that worships our faults
The mystery’s how we’ve goose-stepped through history
We’re not barn to march, we’re born to waltz
Forget what you know
Forget the blows
Forget how you felt today
If you can count to three
That’s all you need
To waltz the night away
Come the morning
The world we’ll be born in
Will surely be quite new
If we can change
Then so can they
Let’s be the living proof

Times Like These

Times Like These
Well I never was perfect
Just let myself think so
I was weak yeah now I’m alone.
And you know it breaks my heart
To see you with another man
Just cos I lost my way
Like any fool can.
(Chorus)
At times like these I get down on my knees
And say oh baby please don’t you go
If it takes all night I will make it right
Oh baby please don’t you go
I called you Delilah
When you cut my hair
When I called you Jezebel
I was unfair
And yes I done you wrong
With my poisoned tongue
Now it’s up to me to win you
Back with this song
(Chorus)
I know a lot of men
Who’d never repent
They sink in a sea of pride
Just like a stone
But I’m not that dumb
I know heartbreak’s no fun
And I’d do anything
If you promise not to run
(Chorus)

Dance of Denial
04:16
|
|||
|
Call it the winding of the dial
Call it sentiment going up on trial
Or just call it all the dance of denial
But I didn't see the emperor drop his thumb
I didn't see the firing squad loading up their guns
And I sure as day don't see a setting sun.
(Chorus)
So don't tell me to go home
Because I won't
I damn well won't
And don't tell me that I'm wrong
Because you're here
So here is where I belong
I'm as sure as an ancient truth
I have no fear or need of reproof
Or the passing whims of a passing youth
The night is full of golden ships
Burning pyres making their last trip
Life can slip away, I won't slip away with it
(Chorus)
