Words and music RW 1978
As I came down by the weary well Going there to fill my can My fortune there I do declare She took me by the hand The lark gives tongue when summer comes Though time cracks every song As if newborn and as forlorn Twas me that loved her long The willow tree, the willow tree That Christ cleft for his flocks I saw the candles burn in the church and the door of the many locks The ocean roared against the shore In the dark before the day I pulled my coat up round my throat And I turned my face away My curses on the carpenter Who built the doors so strong That she and me might parted be and parted be for long Before I'm old with wandering By the high roads and the low I'll steal his hammer and his nails Till he can build no more I wish that I were in her bed Where I have been before Her arms entwined around my neck and her fine breasts rising so I wish her door was bolted fast With two locks and a chain and she and I inside to lie Safe from the wind and rain Sun and fire and candlelight To all the world belong But the moon pale and the midnight Let these delight the strong Where wild geese fly across the sky Her voice is like the air and the midnight dark is in her eyes and the night is on her hair |

Please never name yourself to me
enough lies we see even the moonlight come rest, rest awhile beneath the shade of all the beauty you have made and shared with me you are my pride to think I once though you had died in cold harbour it seems there will be no more goodbyes for you and I dearest companions there's time to wipe away what went before to give away what you have stored and moor no more moor no more in cold harbour it seems there will be no journey's end for you and I dearest companions mother and I we have been singing all we can I know that you will understand you can be so strong and kind no one will be left behind when we leave cold harbour cold harbour hard hard haven. |

Dark eyed lady
I believe you are the one I loved before you are the one I loved before beneath the eucalyptus of your garden door I see a face within your face I'm not looking any more for anyone to take your place at the noon of night I believe we'd leave our bodies there below lying there below along the hidden ways to go to the hidden hall where the friends convene to sing the songs that cannot be sung to do the things that cannot be done I always knew I would meet you again I believe you are my long lost friend I will know you when time has an end and love continues to begin I believe you are the one the one I loved before. |

You treat me so kindly
how can I repay seeing your lips talking so lovely takes my breath away you make me restless but you give me words to say and if I don't get it wrong I see us all get home let me be your fantasy let me kiss your wary foot let me be your cameraman your confidant your preacher and your prostitute let me be your enemy but over all let me be your friend cause if I don't get it wrong I see us all get home I see us hew great mountains down I see us in a lovely place I see us naked of lies together I see us naked of disgrace I see trust born in us through honour and I see peace come and if I don't get it wrong I see us all get home. |

Rends-moi demain et le lendemain
pour toi j'efface le passe pour toi j'ecris les heures laisses-moi derouler dans le chateau vitreu de tes pensees tes reves mondains tes espoirs purs m'envoies tes baisers quand depart le jour les nuits s'eloignent tu me manques car les danses bizarres de ce monde patinoir genent maintenant mes yeux. translation: Give me tomorrow and the following day for you I erease the past for you I write the hours allow me to unroll myself in the glassy castle of your thoughts your worldly dreams your pure hopes send me your kisses when the day departs the nights grow longer I miss you for the strange dances of this world skating rink hinder my eyes just now. |

The wheels roll on and on into the older west
seeking for sleep and you found no rest old genetic train is railed to the ground it keeps your smiles turned down dandelion compass and the bible and pin seen some seasick sailors since the origin you may sift your bread you can save your bran its hard to make a living on sandy land the map of human theatre its incomplete favourite parts are broken hearts and poison sweet here grins the villain in the smartest car the hero in the mask of bone everyone prompting behind the scenes for their reasons unknown the map of human theatre its filled with roads but favourite routes are concrete boots and overloads. |

In the third part of the year
when men begin to gather fuel against the coming cold hear hoover ring hard on frosty ground begins our song for centuries we lived alone high on the moors herding the deer for milk and cheese for leather and horn humans came seldom nigh for we with our spells held them at bay and they with gifts of wine and grain did honour us returning at evening from the great mountains out red hoods ring with bells lightly we run until before our own green hill there we did stand she is stolen she is snatched away through watery meads straying our lovely daughter she of the wild eyes she of the wild hair snatched up to the saddle of the lord of Weir who has his castle high upon a crag a league away upon the horse of air at once we rode to where Weir's castle lifts like a crippled claw into the moon and taking form of minstrels brightly clad we paced upon white ponies to the gate and rang thereon "we come to sing unto my lord of Weir a merry song." into his sorry hall we stepped where was our daughter bound near his chair "come play a measure!" "sir at once we will!" and we began to sing and play to lightly dance in rings and faster turn no man within that hall could keep his seat but needs must dance and leap against his will this was the way we danced them to the door and sent them on their way into the world where they will leap amain till they think one kind thought for all I know they may be dancing still while we returned with our own into our hall and entering in made fast the grassy door. |

I see your faces
blown through the horned clouds in the silent cities they call me so loud come through the fire come through the foam come at the world's night call the herds home dearest child dearest child Most High please don't let our fancy die till all the grapes are gathered from the vine when you come will you sound the harp give to the blind cat's eyes in the dark o will we know you for what you are you who have come so far sweetest fair sweetest fair Most High don't let them cut that ladder before its time for all the grapes to be gathered from the vine He comes again She comes again through the mist of time through the mist of rain no more words my heart brims over in the sea of circustance rows for the rocky shore we who have sworn by the dead and the unborn wheels within wheels O Most High. |

Let me be where love is born
to sail upon a scallop shell the way no hair of a thought is disturbed and the sight is still as moonlight clasps each leaf of a tree of dust until it knows it is alive and lives to be green tell me will we open the heavens and disperse ourselves as rain or passing by some closed door beam morning at the passing of all dreams i love you in spirit and in earth through all and beyond until sweet kindness fills all space quieting the howling stars. |

I paid for a plow, it was heavy as lead.
Tired in my body, I wished for a bed. When I lay claim to nothing, seems everything is mine. When I lay claim to nothing... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. King Jesus he wispered,'It is not so far' and Buddha declared, 'It is right where you are'. Oh tell me how many tears have you cried, Tell me how many... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. The things that you claim are the things you will be, and the actions of now are tomorrow's memory. So buy for a million, sell for a dime. Buy for a million... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Somebody tells you the world's all wrong, and somebody tells you the road is so long. And if you have an argument please see your mind. If you have an argument... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. The man on the corner is singing the blues, and the man in the office is studying the news. So you're looking for trouble, so trouble you'll find. So you're looking for trouble... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. I used to have to wind up my clockwork heart and my face was addicted and I did not feel part. So look at the end act, see my secret crime. Look at the end act... Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time. Dust be diamonds, water be wine happy happy happy all the time time time |
