1.More Than A Lover
More than a lover
Don't you know you'll always be
A good friend to me
When tears are discovered
Don't you know I'll always help
A good friend in need
But what's done is done
So I sing to you a song we left unsung
When you're falling down
And sometimes it seems
Too much to carry on
It's too much to carry on
More than a lover
Don't you know you'll always be
A good friend to me
Where pain is uncovered
Will you walk with me through the burden
Of time
When you can't break away
And you find
Sorrow splits the sky
Twisting your heart inside
But there's nothing left to hide
Nothing left to hide
More than a lover
Don't you know
You'll always be
A good friend to me
2.Two Faces
Two faces of a girl
I used to know
One for where she stays
One for where she goes
Two faces side by side
One's like fire, one's like ice
Both for show
But what do I know?
All alone...
Two faces of a girl
Inside a dream
One's for love
And one's for mystery
Two faces in the night
One's the shadow,
One's the light
Both for show
But what do I know?
All alone...
(Instrumental)
Two faces side by side
One's like fire, one's like ice
Both for show
But what do I know?
All alone...
All alone...
All alone...
All alone...
Two faces of a girl
I used to know
Two faces of a girl
I used to know
3.She's Comin' Around
This town's on fire
But the world,
It don't make a sound
Her golden hair
Lights the sky,
When she's comin' around
She's on the outside,
I'm lost in the crowd
She's on the inside, now
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
But she's a stranger to me now
The moon hangs high
And the wild night
Comes out to play
Was it a dream,
A wish,
Or something I couldn't say?
She's on the outside
I'm lost in the crowd
She's on the inside, now
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
But she's a stranger to me now
(Instrumental)
Is she looking for somethin'?
Somethin' that can't be found?
Look in the mirror, now
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
She's comin' around
But she's a stranger to me now.
She's a stranger to me now.
4.1000 Years
Ooh, ooh,
Waiting for a thousand years,
Ooh, ooh,
Sailing on a thousand tears.
Ooh, ooh,
Waiting for a thousand years,
Ooh, ooh,
Sailing on a thousand tears.
Seasons in your mind,
Colors that change with the passing of time.
You'll find your way,
You'll find your way.
Ooh, ooh,
Waiting for a thousand years,
Ooh, ooh,
Sailing on a thousand tears.
Sighing set in stone,
Follow the river, wherever she goes.
You'll find your way,
You'll find your way.
Ooh, ooh,
Waiting for a thousand years,
Ooh, ooh,
Sailing on a thousand tears.
A new day has begun,
Now that you're standing in the warmth of the sun.
You'll find your way,
You'll find your way.
You'll find your way.
You'll find your way.
Ooh, ooh,
Waiting for a thousand years,
Ooh, ooh,
Sailing on a thousand tears.
5.Coney Island
Once I went
To Coney Island
Took a city train
It was cold
I was far away
It all comes back again
On this sweet day
On this sweet day
Once I swam down
By the rocks
In the salted sea
The sun was hanging
Over the mountains
It all comes back to me
On this sweet day
On this sweet day
(Instrumental)
On this sweet day
On this sweet day...
On this sweet day
On this sweet day...
It's all in your mind, you know
It's all in your mind
We're out on the water now
It's all out of time
It's all in your mind
It's all in your mind, you know
It's all in your mind
We're out on the water now
It's all iin your mind.
6.North Parade
People come
And people go
On the North Parade
Painting pictures
Of paradise
At the penny arcade
But as the arcade penny claw
Comes a rapping
To my door
On the North Parade
They've all gone away
On the North Parade
Deserted again
A lamp it flickers
Behind the blind
At the end of the day
A stranger looks out
To the cove
From the passage way
But as the arcade penny claw
Comes a rapping
To my door
On the North Parade
They've all gone away
On the North Parade
Deserted again
(Instrumental)
There's a boy
That can't go home
He walks out here alone
On the North Parade
They've all gone away
On the North Parade
The World seems so strange
7.Into The Sun
Like a river I
Keep on rolling
Twist and turn to the sea
In the morning I
Wander blindly
On the hot summer breeze
Like a seagull in the sun
Today I'm moving on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Like a seagull into the sun (Into the sun)
Into the sun (Into the sun)
There's no sunhine
In a dark room
There's no time to sit and cry
There's no sorrow
There's no valours
When I look into the sky
Like a seagull in the sun
Today I'm moving on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Like a seagull into the sun (Into the sun)
Into the sun (Into the sun)
Like a seagull in the sun
Today I'm moving on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Like a seagull into the sun (Into the sun)
Into the sun (Into the sun)
8.Coming Through The Rye
Robert ????
Down to the river
Pale as the light
Helen ????
Who could forget her?
And underneath the autumn sky
We'll carry her on through the rye
The mother weeps
To the wind she speaks
The way that it was then
The wake away
Was only yesterday
She still walked along there
And underneath the autumn sky
We'll carry her on through the rye
Robert ????
Down to the river
Pale as the light
Helen ????
Who could forget her?
Who could forget her?
Who could forget her?
9.Walking In The Winter
We went walking in the winter
It was the coldest
Time of year
It's where I handed you a letter
You turned around
I disappeared
It said someday
I'll find my way
And we'll go walking
In the winter
It's so hard to make a living
When the world
Is so unkind
But it's not something
That you're given
It's something that
You got to find
It said someday
I'll find my way
And we'll go walking
In the winter
And it's o.k. to close your eyes
Those silver sailing ships
Go sailing by
It's all in your mind
It's gonna be alright
This time
Seasons change
Into summer
Fires burning in the dark
I hope sometimes
You read my letter
And know I had to
Play my part
It said someday
I'll find my way
And we'll go walking
In the winter
And we'll go walking
In the winter
10.Sandhills
When I think
That there's nothing left to say
Then you say it again
Hurts like never before
Searching to find an open door
I'll tell you this
We'll never meet again
When I'm feeling this way
And with these words
You will fly,
Like a bird
In the unforgiving sky
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind
We could dive
Beneath the golden waves,
We could be saved
And through the sandhills
We'd ride,
Like the leaves
On the vine of forgotten time
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind
And when the distant whispers
Call my name
In the blackest heartlands
Of my shame
I hear you laugh
I know it's all a game
Look around there's no-one
Left to blame
I'm losing my way
I could hide
Familiar in my pain
Serve my sorrows in vain
Or I could step right outside
And show you that I'm alive
And I'll leave you behind
I'll leave you behind.
I'll leave you behind.
I'll leave you behind.
11.Butterfly House
Inside the Butterfly House
The wind blows in
From the pier
The Punch and Judy stand
Before you, then it disappears
I dim the lights
And tell your fortune
We'll be there soon
In the Butterfly House
Back to the sea
A ship comes in
To a half moon town
Hear the towers fall
And watch dreamland
Burn to the ground
I dim the lights
And tell your fortune
We'll he there soon
In the Butterfly House
Long ago
When the music played
From the steeple
To the bay
Time went by
In the warm summer sky
As we walked
Free of loneliness and doubt
In the Butterfly House
In the Butterfly House
In the Butterfly House
12.Green Is The Colour
Green is the colour
Of her eyes
I see her drifting
In her sleep
Through the trees
The forest darker
Than the whispers
In my dreams
Jealously she hides
Her smile
Looks into the endless skies
And green is the colour
Of her eyes ...
Green is the colour
Of her eyes ...
I hear her talking
With the leaves
In the dark
The crooked branches
Hanging heavy
In her heart
Jealously she hides
Her smile
Looks into the endless skies
And green is the colour
Of her eyes...
Green is the colour
Of her eyes ...
(Instrumental)
Green is the colour
When I look in her eyes
A stare that will cut you
Like a knife
Through these starry skies
Green is the colour
Of her eyes ...
Green is the colour
Of her eyes ...
Green is the colour
Of her eyes ...
13.Falling All Around You
A kiss*
I'll take it with me now
I've heard the story's out
All over town
I laugh
And fall down to my knees
Like paper tumbling
Through the streets
In the morning
When the sun will rise
And the day is new
I'm falling all around you...
The sheets
Where you lay with me love
In the quiet hours
Before dawn
You said
I'm like a sinking stone
But some stories
Should not be told
At the dawning
When the seagull flies
And the day is new
I'm falling all around you...
14.Roving Jewel
I used to call
At The Roving Jewel
I'd stay there
For the winter
Memories,
Pinned inside of me
Like the scarlet curtains
Hanging in the window
Bows of silk
And strands of hair
All the pages
Lying empty
Seems to me
A mystery
Like the scarlet curtains
Hanging in the window
Paper flowers
On the table
Thought I'd left them
By the door
All the pictures
They have fallen,
Many times before
I've bid farewell
To the Roving Jewel
Secrets sleeping
In the barley
Silver skies
Things I've left behind
And the scarlet curtains
Hanging in the window...
15.Dream In August
I see you
Yes I see you there
In the open arms
Of a first affair
Standing by the lamp
That leads you down
Through the garden
To far beneath the ground
You light a fire
I know you
Yes I know your past
Jesus forgave you
In the August ????
You wondered down that town
You wondered down
From the shelter
To the holy grounds
You light a fire
Boats out in the harbour
And the sun, it starts to shine
Priests there in the parlour
Turn a riddle into rhyme
And you have died
A thousand times
I've dreamed you
Yes I dreamed your face
In the tarot cards
That had took your place
The sun you sing
It seems to make no sounds
In the empty room
Of an empty house
I light a fire
16.Another Way
Open your eyes
Unlock the door
And step outside
The light upon your face
Leads me down
To a better place
And who'll see you there
Catch the sun up in your hair
I never needed any other way
You can't run
You can't hide
But when you know
You're lost inside
The way you feel the pain
Turn around
And start again
And who'll see you there
Catch the sun up in your hair
I never needed any other way
Ah ah ah ah
Do do do do
Do do do do
Open your eyes
Unlock the door
And step outside
The light upon your face
Leads me down
To a better place
And who'll see you there
Catch the sun up in your hair
I never needed any other way
17.Circles
Down, down
Round and round
People meet you
When you pull into town
And go down, down
All around
Walk on the whirls
You'll fall to the ground
But some day
Two circles are the games we play
Circles are the only fickle thing
Down, down
Round and round
Everyone sings
To your hollow sound
And goes down, down
All around
Nobody there when
You come back around
Today
Two circles are the games we play
Circles are the only fickle thing
Two circles are the games we play
Circles are the only fickle thing
Down, down
Round and round
You're going
Down, down
Round and round
You're going
Down, down
Round and round
You're going
Down, down
Round and round
You're going
Down...
