Young boy that I know feels he has lived too long His spirit of adventure slipped away With little sense of pride, he feels deep down inside. He is flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again. Young girl that I know feels she has lost her way Her only chance of love once passed her by But little does she know, this is hardly so. She is flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again. And just as in the willow patter fantasy The boy and girl have crossed the bridge of tears And like the birds above, they are sending down their love. Flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again Flying, flying, flying to be free again. Dying, dying, dying to be free again Dying, dying, dying to be free again. |

A child denied all love can't weep But bravely bears her life alone So Fuchsia as you try to sleep You dream of friends you've never known In troubled years when no-one cared You searched for comfort everywhere For heavy burdens never shared Became too much for one to bear So much to give But those who live Don't know of you Your fantasy Of love to be Cannot come true Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Now poised above the castle walls You look your last on lonely skies Night owls pray for you as they call Returning ere the dawn shall rise Your loveless life Has led you here Not knowing why Your troubled mind's No longer clear To live or die Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia Oh Lady Fuchsia |

The night sky hung so heavy The wet road shone so bright Reflecting back my headlights As I drove on in the night to stormy down. I drew into a lay-by My eyes were dark with strain Turning up my collar I walked out in the rain on stormy down. Oh I was high on stormy down Thinking of my friends below But they had gone some other way They did not want to know about stormy down. I thought I saw the devil In the branches of a tree It was just imagination But he looked a bit like me on stormy down. Hey I was high on stormy down Thinking of my friends below But they had gone some other way They did not want to know about stormy down About stormy down, about stormy down. The cold moon drew strange faces On a slowly changing cloud One looked like God the father And I shouted right out loud on stormy down. Oh I was high on stormy down Thinking of my friends below But they had gone some other way They did not want to know about stormy down About stormy down, about stormy down Stormy down, stormy down ... |

I made a sideways motion, turning a new leaf The single minded miner's girl was there to share my grief I shivered in the butter wind, three times the cockerel crowed I waited for the river but the river did not flow. An autumn turned to silver, winter turned to gold The weatherman said : 'Dress up' - oh but I did not feel the cold Kids waited with toboggans as I sheltered from the snow I waited for the river but the river did not flow. I will drink the milk from you breasts, meld myself to you Collect the valley lilies the worshippers once strew My body aches with hunger, yet your belly has to grow I waited for the river but the river did not flow. |

Maybe you think, a lot like me Of those who live beside the sea Who feel so free, so I surmise With their comfortable homes and wives Who end up drinking tea together In the afternoon of their lives. They build their homes upon the seashore The quicksand castles of their dreams Yet take no notice of the North wind Which tears their buildings at the seams. In their dismay and blind confusion The weeping widows clutch their shawls While as the sea mist ever deepens The sailors hear the sirens' calls. And in the maelstrom sea which follows The lifeboat sinks without a trace And yet there still remain survivors To bear the shame of their disgrace. Last night I lay in bed and held myself Trying to remember how it once was with you How your hands were softer. Yesterday I found myself staring into space Rather like the sailor in my own home surroundings I'm not sure I know me. If you were me, what would you do ? Don't tell me I don't need you to It won't help me now. If you were me, what would you do ? Don't tell me I don't need you to It won't help me now. |

Now I'm a union man
Amazed at what I am I say what I think, that the company stinks Yes I'm a union man When we meet in the local hall I'll be voting with them all With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!" And the rise of the factory's fall Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die Until the day I die The union has made me wise To the lies of the company spies And I don't get fooled by the factory rules 'cause I always read between the lines And I always get my way If I strike for higher pay When I show my card to the Scotland Yard And this is what I say: Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die Until the day I die Before the union did appear My life was half as clear Now I've got the power to the working hour And every other day of the year So though I'm a working man I can ruin the government's plan And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card Makes me some kind of superman Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die Until the day I die You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union You don't get me, I'm part of the union Until the day I die Until the day I die |

I - Tears
Cousins Where are the tears that you should be crying right now ? I see the world weariness in your eyes I hear your voice, soft and sad Yet your laughter rings like carillons of bells in my ears. Where are the tears that you should be crying right now ? I see the world weariness in your eyes I feel your heart beat like the wings of the wild goose I smell your love on me I can still taste the tears that you should be crying right now. II - Pavan Hudson-Ford-Cousins Oh darling go to sleep for the night is young There are many songs yet to be sung Oh but I will sing them all to you Before the night is through. And when she lies in need of care and comforting So as a child's toy she is caressed And yet when cast adrift upon the changing tide As a ship becalmed, she lies at rest Oh darling go to sleep for the night is young There are many songs yet to be sung Oh but I will sing them all to you Before the night is through. Oh darling go to sleep for the night is young There are many songs yet to be sung Oh but I will sing them all to you Before the night is through. |

Looks around with angel face She does everything with amazing grace She wears smart clothes but no one knows She's got nobody waiting at home. She is not the only song I sing Though I sing them all for her There is something in her melody That I've never heard before. The winter and the summer need never come again The winter and the summer need never come again In my life there is no season, no reason. She is not the only book I read See her pages are not torn And her story is of loneliness Though her memory still war. The winter and the summer need never come again The winter and the summer need never come again In my life there is no season, no reason. Every now and then I'm sad Thinking what we could have had If we'd met some years before Would we now be wanting more ? She is not the only sound I hear Though to hear her lights my day There's no picture in the gallery That has half as much to say. The winter and the summer need never come again The winter and the summer need never come again In my life there is no season, no reason. |

Lay down, I lay me down
Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down For my soul. By still waters I lay down with the lambs In pastures green I made peace with my soul And I cared not for the night While my guiding star shone bright By still waters I lay down I lay down. Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down For my soul. At the roadside I took toll of my times From dirty streets I gained peace for my soul May the merciful be right Are you ready for the night At the roadside I lay down I lay down. Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down For my soul. In deep sorrow I took flight with the sun From mountains high I gained strength for my soul I proved stronger than the test When my spirit came to rest In deep sorrow I lay down I lay down. Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down For my soul. Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down Lay down, I lay me down For my soul. |

Weaver-Cousins
We thank you for the wind and rain The sunshine and the flowers We thank you for the moon and stars The minutes and the hours. We live each day as best we can And wake up with new friends For when the nights have turned around The days begin again. |
