This Morning

As the dawn is breaking on your future my child
Is there none of your love alive?
If every door you open closes on me
I don't know if I can survive
I don't know if I can survive.

Long is the road that takes you from home,
My baby, oh my darling,
And sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
For the poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light.

This morning I opened my eyes,
I knew from the silence that something was wrong.
Turning, I realised.
I wanted to cry when I knew I was alone.

But where will you go
And who will be your guide,
And which way will you turn,
The waters are so wide?
'Cos I never told you
No, you'll never really know,
I need you so.

Now the sun is rising on your freedom my child,
Is there none of your love alive?
Every door you open closes on me,
I don't know if I can survive, 
Knowing part of your love was lies.

Long is the road that takes you from home,
My baby, oh my darling,
And sleepless are the hours
And lonely is the night
For the poor tormented soul
Who is searching for the light.

The moment I opened my eyes,
I knew from the silence that something was wrong.
Turning, I realised.
I wanted to cry when I knew I was alone.

But where will you go
And who will be your guide,
And which way will you turn,
The water are so wide?
'Cos I never told you
No, you'll never really know,
I need you so.

Remember Me (My Friend)

You don't need to ask me if I'll be your friend.
I am. I am.
You don't need to ask me if I'm sure my friend.
I am.

I am your friend,
You must remember me. 
I'm the one who saw through the world's disguise,
Took away its cloak and made it hide
From me.
Remember me?

Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
What can I say?
You don't need to find the words to say what's on your mind.

If you need a reason to begin again,
I am. I am.
You will find an answer at your journey's end.
I am
Waiting there, my friend,
You must remember me,
I'm the one who knew you when,
I'm the one you call your friend,
Feel free,
Remember me.

Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
What can I say?
You don't need to find the words to say what's on your mind.

Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
What can I say?
You don't need to find the words to say what's on your mind.

Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.

Walking on this Earth, finding you,
You, you.
You, you.
You, you.

My Brother

My brother,
If you could cast a little light on someone
It's not too soon,
You took me half way round the world,
I'm running out of time and reasons.

My true friend,
If you could tell me what it is that keeps you
From coming down,
You left me way up in the clouds,
The higher you fly
The less I see you.

So far
'Cross a wild and windy sea,
So far
That our voices are
Divided by an ocean
An ocean.

My brother,
If you could take a little time to slow down
It's more your style,
It takes a lifetime to decide
I'm running out of time and reasons,
I'm running out.

So far
'Cross a wild and windy sea,
So far
That our voices are
Divided by an ocean
An ocean.

You

You don't even know my name,
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away,
Take a part of me. 

You don't even walk my road,
Can't find where you turned,
Looked away and you were gone,
Now we're on our own.
Old man, is this why we're alone?

I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought this change in me, 
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought this change in me, 

You don't even know my world,
I've tried hard to see
If I'd found the world you're looking for,
There'd be a change in me.

You don't even know my name,
Time was when you would
Take the love you've given all away,
Take a part of me. 
You've gone and changed the world I see. 

I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought this change in me, 
I, I believe
What is lost for ever has brought this change in me,

Nights, Winters, Years

Pain, sorrow, tears,
Long, lonely years
With love having passed me by
I could live a lie for you,
But truth is the road I choose
Knowing all I need to do
Is give to you. 

Down, down, down
Where your dreams are found.
They're sleeping inside of us all,
They're sleeping inside of us all.

Nights, winters, years,
Pain, sorrow, tears 
Cannot hold me now,
I'm a fool to fall for you,
But here, in the morning light,
Tell me how can love be wrong
And feel so right?

Saved By The Music

When you're swallowing all your pride,
Do you need somewhere,
A place to hide?
A smile from your face
Where the light comes shining through,
All its strength it came from you.

It's lost now, all that age before I knew you,
Is it that forever is hard to find?
You made me recognise what I'd been leaving far behind.
Is it closing in on you like it was on me?
This time I'm saved by the music,
Saved by the song that you bring.

When you're following all life's lies
And find its meaning
And truth still hides,
Don't cover your face,
Let the warmth come flowing through,
Welcome dawn, new morning dew,

This time I'm saved by the music,
Saved by the song we can sing,
This time I'm saved by the music,
Saved by the song that you bring.

When you're swallowing all life's lies
This time we're saved by the music,
Saved by the song we can sing.
This time we're saved by the music,
Saved by the song we can sing.
This time we're saved.

I Dreamed Last Night

Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice,
And the things you said well they left me
Left me no choice,
And you told me we had the power,
And you told me this was the hour,
But you don't know how,
If I could show you now.

Well I dreamed last night you were calling
Calling my name,
You were locked inside of your secrets
Calling my name,
And you told me lost was the key,
And you told me how you long to be free,
But that you don't know how,
Oh let me show you now.

Like a bird on a far distant mountain,
Like a ship on an uncharted sea,
You are lost in the arms that have found you,
Don't be afraid,
Love's plans are made,
Oh don't be afraid.

If there's a time and a place to begin love,
It must be now, let it go, set it free.

Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice,
Why did you say those things that have left me
Left me no choice?
When you told me we had the power,
Why did you tell me now was the hour?
But you don't know how,
Oh, let me show you now.

Like a bird on a far distant mountain,
Like a ship on an uncharted sea,
You are lost in the arms that have found you,
Don't be afraid,
Love's plans are made,
Oh don't be afraid.

If there's a time and a place to begin love,
It must be now, let it go, set it free.

Oh I dreamed last night I was hearing
Hearing your voice.

Who Are You Now?

Who are you now,
First love of mine?
If you could see
You'd reach out for me.

In hallways
And in secret doorways
Were love's hiding places
With nowhere to go.
Goodbye
To the fields and byeways.
I remember saying
I don't want to leave,
'Cos you were all there was to know about me.

Somewhere
On this crazy island
A familiar stranger
Sleeps so far away
But wonder
In the eyes of children
And the smile of fortune
Helps the memory fade,
'Cos they are all there is to know
About me.

Who are you now?

Maybe

Maybe,
Maybe I'm wrong
To go on thinking, to sing my sing.
Maybe
This world's falling down,
Call up the trumpeters to knock the wall down.

Someone who needs,
Someone who feels,
Someone who sees can find you.

Slowly,
Slowly we walk,
No harm in crying, no sense in talk. 
Slowly
The ice melts away,
Call on the choir to sing
And turn no one away.

Someone who needs,
Someone who feels,
Someone who sees can find you.
Someone who needs,
Someone who feels,
Someone who sees can find you.

Maybe,
Maybe I'm wrong,
The river holds its breath,
The sea will keep its calm.
Slowly,
Slowly we turn,
A look at where we've been,
The juggler has to learn.

Someone who needs,
Someone who feels,
Someone who sees can find you.
Someone who needs,
Someone who feels,
Someone who sees can find you.

When You Wake Up

Now as we speed a little faster through the stars
To this new world of ours
With the seed that the garden requires

And as we drift a little further from the shore
Like the seas evermore,
I'm the ivy that clings round your door.

When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself.

Now as we drift a little further down the stream
Was it all what it seemed?
Was it true,
Was it real
Or just a dream?

When you wake up
You will find
That you're not where you left yourself.

Now as we speed a little faster through the stars....

Blue Guitar

Blue guitar,
Fortune of my ways
Making of my days.
New chord,
Counting up the ways
Happiness is lazy.

If you don't know the song,
If you can't put the words to the tune,
Tell the rhyme from the reason,
What should it matter
To the fool or the dreamer? 

New hope,
Travellers in a storm,
Finding love is warm.
New day,
The world has just begun,
Our eyes have seen the sun.

If you don't know the way,
If you can't see the wood for the trees,
Taste the wine from the water,
Well, what should it matter,
To the fool or the dreamer?
