Into The Harbour

Moving on toward the day that we will travel out,
Taking stock and trying not to figure it all out.
Seek the mountain on the secrets held within the dream,
Ruth will follow on and at the port will not be seen.

The good that led us here now will, make us glad we move now on the outward leg of finding freedom,
That as take on so long so far so so.

And when the ship sailed into the harbour,
The lights were coming on for us to-
Seek out the road that will take us upon our good way. (x2)

Sipping wine upon the Avrolear as she is 'aaaaargh',
Rolling down the ever coastal figure seems so far.

The good that led us here now will, make us glad we move now on the outward leg of finding freedom,
That as take on so long so far so so.

And when the ship sailed into the harbour,
The lights were coming on for us to-
Seek out the road that will take us upon our good way. (x2)

The journey's so long as been forever,
The time has come to move it on.

And when the ship sailed into the harbour,
The lights were coming on for us to-
Seek out the road that will take us upon our good way. (x2)





Cradle Of Soil

So glad to lose the winter,
That time just seems so dead,
Like forests in the ocean,
Like the blue within the red.

Take away the sun for now,
No need to take a bow.

So fine to walk on Thursday,
They leave it all to me,
As I cut below the wheat field,
And laugh among the trees.

Take away the sun for now,
No need to take a bow.

All alone in a cradle of soil,
Leave me to the mercy of the day,
Walking back with just my own mistake,
I made too far away now.

Take away the sun for now,
Take away the sun for now.

It's so easy to be lonely,
Yet easier to be alone,
It'll be such a bad day,
When I admit I need a friend.

Take away the sun for now,
No need to take a bow.

All alone in a cradle of soil,
Leave me to the mercy of the day,
Walking back with just my own mistake,
I made too far away now. (x2)

Take away the sun for now,
Take away the sun for now. (x2)





The Freedom Of Saints

Take the sweet reveal,
The cameras are not real,
The course of tablets fair,
Make sure you go nowhere.
It's time to lock the doors,
The window views the moors.

I knew a time of the freedom of saints,
I knew a method of taking the time to reveal what is inside your head.

I need to start again,
They change the lock again.
Stop me again,
Shock me again.

All quiet again,
Drugs will pause the pain.
The council will retire,
As dreams put out the fire.

I try to stand my ground,
The weak should make their sound,
As powers rise again,
I'm labelled as insane.
Now I'll be never missed,
A name crossed off the list.

I knew a time of the freedom of saints,
I knew a method of taking the time to reveal what is inside your head.

I need to start again,
They change the lock again.
Stop me again,
Shock me again.

I knew a time of the freedom of saints,
I knew a method of taking the time to reveal what is inside your head.

I need to start again,
They change the lock again.
Stop me again,
Shock me again,
Stop me again,
Shock me again.





Midsummer Night

Lying awake again,
Staring through a window pane,
Midsummer night warm and glowing,
It's all so cool after the rain.
I know now,
I know now.

A new day will dawn again,
My last chance to feel the same,
I did wrong and I need to go,
They'll throw away the key.

I never meant to hurt a soul,
It was in-successful goal,
I was bought up so very well,
How wrong to think I would grow old.

Midsummer night warm and glowing,
It's all cool after the rain.
I know now,
I know now.

A new day will dawn again,
My last chance to feel the same,
I did wrong and I need to go,
They'll throw away the key.

Lying awake again,
Staring through a window pane.
I know now,
I know now.

A new day will dawn again,
My last chance to feel the same,
I did wrong and I need to go,
They'll throw away the key.





Felonore, Just Tell The World

Around me the fires and haze,
A forced smile to burn out the days,
Scene drift that changes the mood,
Deny me through a sweet honey glaze.

Felonore inside the old world,
Felonore just tell the world.

Time speaks of when you were here,
An old day full of laughter and beer,
You lived here like the wisdom you bred,
A time shared among battles and fear.

Felonore inside the old world,
Felonore just tell the world.

Young fool who never did any wrong,
Life trials only sixteen years long,
Vile wine taken with every meal,
Melodies were never meant for a song.

Felonore inside the old world,
Felonore just tell the world.

War fields, a soldier cries like a child,
The battle the pace so alien and wild,
The trial dream only fit for a queen,
Same sides exulting silence so mild.

Felonore inside the old world,
Felonore just tell the world.





Dreams Of Landing

An albatross has crossed,
Feeling like a lead weight,
The altitude is sickening,
Spinning in the bait.

(Caught out, found out)

Ceiling above,
Landing around,
Wings of a sound,
Sailing above.

Dreams of landing,
Mother earth I kiss you now.
Dreams of landing,
Another day to live.

The northern seas will greet,
An answer from the clouds,
Am I to feel the lumber of,
Ground dwellers and their feet?

(Caught out, found out)

Ceiling above,
Landing around,
Wings of a sound,
Sailing above.

Dreams of landing,
Mother earth I kiss you now.
Dreams of landing,
Another day to live.

Dreams of landing,
Mother earth I kiss you now.
Dreams of landing,
Another day to live. (x2)





Vinyl Dreams

The engine's started and it's time to go,
Just a toothbrush and a comb to show,
Feeling like another time has passed,
And pretending that it's bound to last.

The box of records that I sold to you,
Stuck my heartstrings like they're made of glue,
They meant so much I couldn't say,
But they are the ballast of yesterday.

Put them on again,
Put them on again.

Vinyl dreams are what made me real,
Vinyl dreams are all that I feel,
Vinyl dreams they play the part.


The road is clumsy as the day will fade,
My only life is not card to to trade,
Easy now it feels like night will be,
A lonely place that I will fear to see.

The box of records that I sold to you,
Stuck my heartstrings like they're made of glue,
They meant so much I couldn't say,
But they are the ballast of yesterday.

Put them on again,
Put them on again.

Vinyl dreams are what made me real,
Vinyl dreams are all that I feel,
Vinyl dreams they play the part.

Put them on again,
Put them on again.

Vinyl dreams are what made me real,
Vinyl dreams are all that I feel,
Vinyl dreams they play the part,
Vinyl dreams are what made me real,
Vinyl dreams are all that I feel,
Vinyl dreams they play the part.





Life, The Greatest Gift Of All

Life, the greatest gift of all,
Can be pushed against the wall,
Need to follow suit,
Loose some you loose it all.
Life, a dice to play the game,
A number and a name,
You stand or you will fall,
But no two are the same.

Wide eyes of blue see the world as far away,
And the innocence of you,
Just the recalls the love of yesterday.
Cry for the attention,
And you insecure,
Smile at their promises they'll distrust you even more.

Now that mummy's gone away,
You take my hand and here I'll have to stay,
I've done nothing wrong as you can see,
Keep me under lock and key.

Barnardo great and very brave,
Should now be turning in his grave,
A lonely child, an unknown fate,
Now a prisoner of the local state.

Life, the greatest gift of all,
Can be pushed against the wall,
Need to follow suit,
Loose some you loose it all.
Life, a dice to play the game,
A number and a name,
You stand or you will fall,
But no two are the same.

The sad games people play,
It almost seems they're happier that way.
Does the hate behind this Madonna's face,
Take longer to decay?

Life, the greatest gift of all,
Can be pushed against the wall,
Need to follow suit,
Loose some you loose it all.
Life, a dice to play the game,
A number and a name,
You stand or you will fall,
But no two are the same.
