Black clouds are hanging
From a patch of blue sky We're walking together My lover and I Like we've been in love forever Her soft heart beats a path Wynds right out of my sight The dusty days walk To our love in the night Our beautiful thoughts lie together All in sun my love To the world on its way The rippling textures Are thrown through the day Woven in the tide of the waves A breath lest the watch You wake up and moan Will i see you forever? Or will you be gone? Is our love just a toy that we borrowed? Black clouds are hanging From a patch of blue sky We're walking together My lover and I Like we've been in love forever |

Oh girlie with your brown eyes
And your long flowing hair With the lantern shining through your lips I slip on through my stare With your pink glass sunken past the walls You kiss my thistle eyes Can't you take me in Loch Ness Have your hair soaked in crystal skies Oh girlie, oh girlie Carve my name out on the elm tree sun Among the plastered burn shaded by woven fur Will you run my reaching fingers All around your swimming gill Sillouette me through the brush strokes Of your naked whirling figure Oh girlie, oh girlie I am to ask you "Can't you cast me in your spell" And live my dream along days Lost inside your spring shell For my time is swiftly sliding Down the rainbow of my youth Won't you make me while i pittle yers Can't tell us all the truth Oh girlie |

The bumble bees stumble
The butterflies tumble The birds on the water-line stare The heavens have crowned her The star grass grows round her her dreams fill the very still air Just east of the sun where our loving was done I can still see her breasts on the edge of the morning I can still taste the salt in her hair |

I once held a lantern of love in my hands
She was all I could see Kicking the brown leaves of childhoold around us We danced the deep sea That welled from the spring of the boy that I was Held in her flame Feeling her learning Watching her burning To see the first man I became Little lady Who made me Was it you Or is it that old unforgiveness That I can't forget I was her warchild and she was my wildcat We lived in a dream Woke up for summer unfolding the secret And broke up downstream Facing the current that said that we couldn't Go on Tearing the seed out With sharp tongues And no doubt Before it was born Little lady, etc Sometimes I cry in the flood of my guts Laughing in sadness Bursting with rage in the wounds of revenge Bleeding forgiveness It isn't you love or anything new I just tasted It's myself standing Standing watching me, Getting hung up Spaced and wasted Little lady, etc |

If you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. Well, if you go when the snowflakes storm, When the rivers freeze and summer ends, Please see if she's wearing a coat so warm, To keep her from the howlin' winds. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, If it rolls and flows all down her breast. Please see for me if her hair hangs long, That's the way I remember her best. I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all. Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night, In the brightness of my day. So if you're travelin' in the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. |

No good pretending girl
You were for spending The rest of your days round my neck Well I'm not that strong And my time isn't long And my love isn't something to wreck I wish we could share But you'll never be there (with me) Having those kids with one man Milk his frustration And get his submission And weep and wear black when he's gone Well I'll see you again by accident Or maybe I'll see you again I'm feeling the reasons for why I went Like mountains between now and then I wanted to help, but I couldn't stay And I flew, what else could I do? I needed to stop you from falling in love that way I didn't have it for you No way No way (that way) I left you stony With dreams cold and bony I know how it feels, I've been there I was your only You fault you're so lonely A face with a permanent stare And all I was wanting was friends and good hunting But you want my soul behind bars Well love isn't jealous or bitchy and callous She's here for us all and she's ours Well I'll see you again by ...... |

The naked flames of cracking dawn come searing through with cruel scorn
To furrow wounds across each frown inside the breast of love's sad clown Who chases fleeting silhouettes with swollen dreams and rising sweats Who taunts and bluffs the savage god with a broken heart and a hanging head. I would we were but I wish in vain to have you here to hold again My blood boils ice in deep despair but worse of all you couldn't care Remember when the world was ours and at our feet ten thousand stars Who saw us then could now relate who would have guessed, this was our fate. I'm sorry that you thought of us as painful and superfluous But please don't think I'm that thick skinned to want my seed in any old wind I can't believe we'll just exist as figments of each others past Where is it at to get to this, when lawyers lurk where lovers kiss ? The alter of October stands with opening arms and dripping hands Unveiling storms, collecting skies and gathering leaves to whisper sighs As from the pulpit summer shrinks and hope of us together sinks As fast as all those burning lies, and just as hard to memorise. The ages pass with the flick of a thumb, love has lost and pride has won But through old destruction flies new dawn and I rode the winds into the morn. |

I thought I heard the sound of my name and I looked back down behind me
And with hair like the ripened wheat she came, sure as the west wind to find me And just for a moment I wished my life to see our friends all around us And I turned to her but I held my breath in the far Norwegian mountains. For there we stood two children of spring as everything seemed to be gleaming Her looking breathless clean out of my mind and me with my crazy dreaming To think of my friends underneath the same roof in one common destination When all we do is remain aloof like we have no close relation. And love is my torment and I'll take when I can But I'll give in the moment when you are my woman and I am your man. And I watched her makin' her first daisy chain as her nipples hung hard in suggestion And naked, gnat-bitten we drifted fain in the hazy deserved sensation And we dreamt of all the loves we'd known and we never never thought of the sorrow With forelocks wound over primrose down in the wood by the emptin long barrow Two silver greenflies to flicker the backdropping, lush of the emerald springtime To lust for a moment in love of another is dust on a dragonfly's wing. And love is no torment for we'll give when we can And we'll live in the moment when you are my woman and I am your man. And the blackcap sings and the forest rings, the nettles tall around me With shafts of sun and moving things and poems fast and slowly And fantasies of luscious thirst for new lust and fresh waters to seek it Like diamonds set in realities of skies drawn back in secret But somewhere out there with my heart in her care and her prayers in the breezes that caught them She sits like the earth as I fly to her arms like the showering yellows of autumn And love is no torment for we'll give when we can And we'll live in the moment when she is my woman and I am her man. |

Davey, oh Davey
With seashells on our ears We spun a web of voices We danced a day of years Yesterday marooned us Making for today We spun along times tide line As he washed us both away |

The kettle's on, the sun has gone, another day
She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray She's at the door, she wants to score She dearly needs to say I loved you a long time ago, you know Where the wind's own 'Forget me nots' blow But I just couldn't let myself go Not knowing what on earth, there was to know But I wish that I had 'cause I'm feeling so sad That I never had one of your children Then across the room, inside the tomb, a chance has waxed and waned The night is young, why are we so hung up in each other's chains? I must take her and I must make her while the dove domains And feel the juice run as she flies Run my wings under her sighs as the flames of eternity rise To lick us with the first born lash of dawn Oh, really, my dear, I can't see what we fear Sat here with ourselves in between us And at the door, we can't say more than just another day And without a sound I turn around and I walk away |

Once I was anothers lover
Now I am my own Trying to call myself a brother Living here alone Maybe if you came to see me Wishing I wasn't so blind Sitting here thinking to be free Maybe we'd all change our mind She is kind and beautiful I am young and strong We have never met each other But it can't be long Oft' I have slept by her window Often I whisper her name And wonder that words in the wind blow Happy that hers are the same |

Locked in mortal combat as the future shadows loom
The guardian of my spirit fights his way across the room To where the sick majority infest the myths of doom But the lanterns of children hold firm in full bloom And we'll walk a long long way Oh, together. Though we found ourselves that way Long before we knew. Ah, but you know the way its worked I feel that when I laugh it's with your soul. And when I cry..........................It's you I ride inside the purple dawn collecting golden dew That falls from citidels of dreams I shake whilst flying through Creation's key seems just in reach, ah but then its overdue But as darkness surrounds us I'm reaching for you. Far across the universe the goblins of the night Sometimes corner sunrise and keep it out of sight And wandering the crossing minds, hallucinating light Is the dream that I have of you holding me tight. |

Through the window
Just a wall Shapes are forming Blackbirds call Early morning spirits Moving hands Tick-tocking ages In the half-light of the still Before the lark Where I can feel my shadow Touch your silence In the dark Sleeping at the wheel Reaching for oceans before us For us to feel Together, tonight Playing eagle Firing eyes Ever willing Sweet surprise Welling in the belly Of their chase Tracing out the angel In the half-light on your face Before the lark Where I can feel my shadow Touch your silence, In the dark Sleeping at the wheel Reaching for oceans before us For us to feel Together, tonight Then suddenly I hear you say "Time to get up It's gone midday, Cup of tea love" And I realise I must have dropped off Drifted into dream before the lark Yielded to the ether of our secret world In the dark |

As I walked over North Botley copse
I saw a fine lady ghost across the tops With a ring on her finger and the wings on her toes She can have music wherever she goes Those were the days in the cradle of our love Those are the days I dream of sweetly Those were the days and I thank the stars above The flycatcher, the cherry tree, the chestnut coal fire sea As the last hope of sunshine embers on the hill At the end of all the rainbows where the timeless legends dwell A ghostly coach and four love, storms the midnight rain As silently aurora almightly refrains Those were the days in the cradle of our love Those are the days I dream of sweetly Those were the days and I thank the stars above The flycatcher, the cherry tree, the chestnut coal fire sea |

I thought I saw a swallow land
Upon my hand on summer day I thought I saw my true love standing In the sand One old may day I thought I hear the dolphins sing 'You gotta bring her back On summer day' See her run along the tide line Where the trade winds blow Feel the breath of summer In her hair, oh! Underneath the shooting stars I've wished and would you know I thought I saw a swallow land Upon my hand On summer day I thought I saw a swallow land Upon my hand on summer day But here in cold midwinter's night Another light has come to play Steals across the misty sky And bye and bye She'll maybe stay Can there ever be again again Another spring Will the birds forever hold us On the wing Light the fire in our home of hearts And hear me sing I thought I saw a swallow land Upon my hand on summer day |

Here comes the patter of rain on my window
I've woken again to the world on my pillow Wondering how I can beg, steal or borrow A girl who won't fight me but quietly follow. Straight as a die and as clear as a crystal I come from a temple as trod as a footstool To hiding a brothel inside a cathedral The man in the mirror, the fool in the ideal. Pulling apart with a speechless unweaving Dignity reels in the hearts of the grieving Walking the touch line twixt truth and deceiving A tear in a smile and a while wrenching leaving. Oh help me now, my long lost love, the dusk has drawn my soul Relishing the autumn Maybe it's the tragedy in loving that I live Cherishing the lonesome. I'd like to dance and sing my song upon a summer mountain With just a quiet girl along for daisy petal counting To set our sails into the West, the dream of all our forebears To where the sun is at his best, gathering us lovers. Oh help me now, my long lost love, the dusk has drawn my soul Relishing the autumn Maybe it's the tragedy in loving that I live Cherishing the lonesome. Cherishing the lonesome Cherishing the lonesome. You stand in the doorway with tears in your sorrow Saying there must be some way to tomorrow And just for a few hours I think I can borrow A girl who won't fight me but quietly follow. |

So now you tell me that you're leaving, my friend
And I can but leave you Into your world blowing There isn't time to say goodbye Nor would I ever wish to You brought me a very many good dreams, my friend And I'll smile beside you For I know I saw you The two halves of our spinning mess Covering our laughter And time may spread it's woven whirlwind, my friend Far beyond our hearing Through eternal raging And yet I hear our voice of love Above the loudest madness So now you tell me that you're leaving, my friend And I can but leave you Fare you well Fare you well We'll meet again along those paving stone Patterns of our living And was it gold or is it silver, my friend? I can hear you crying Through the mist you stumble And when you've taken that last sun We'll watch it in the darkness |

There was a time
When you ran after me And we could run I took you for granted In my fantasy (but) Those days are gone I love you I love you I love you My darling and I miss you so I'll shed these last tears tonight On your pillow For without you I am a shadow I will not make One more tomorrow Since you've been gone I've been wasting away in agony Reliving memories of many a day You'd say to me I love you I love you I love you My darling and I need you so Will you lay me down tonight On your pillow For without you I am a shadow Please help me through True love tomorrow I've got so got so down I feel paralysed I'm hardly here Nailed to a nightmare That's immobilized Living in fear I love you I love you I love you My darling Out I feel so low I don't trust myself tonight On your pillow For without you Life has no meaning Without you My hear will break Without you Your helpless shadow Just might not make One more tomorrow |

We're just spinning leaves
In the flight of dawn Little girl Falling through an eternal horizon of time But as we lie here I'd like to think That all we've got will be ours forever Don't you think we're forever I can hear a voice On the wings of my dream Little girl Melting me into love as it touches my heart But sheltered in the distance of your sleep Is all that I could love in a lifetime Don't you think we're forever Open your eyes To the call of the winds Little girl Can't you here them all saying I'll always be yours Lying in the misty morning sun The pillow of the night still beneath you Don't you think we're forever |
