The Sparrow's Eye
05:30
|

The past is done
Fly fast, die young
It won't be morning long
It's gone, It's gone
Turn back, back home
The day has grown
The sparrow has flown
She's gone, She's gone
Drift away, Sparrow fly
Lift your wing, Catch the sky
How you linger, How you cry
Love is in the sparrow's eye
(PIANO SOLO)
Drift away, Sparrow fly
Lift your wing, Catch the sky
How you linger, How you cry
Love is in the sparrow's eye
The day has come
Be free, be numb
You won't be mourning long
She's gone, She's gone
Look up, Look west
And see her nest
The sparrow has left
She's gone, She's gone
Drift away, Sparrow fly
Lift your wing, Catch the sky
How you linger, How you cry
Love is in the sparrow's eye
Drift away, Sparrow fly
Lift your wing, Catch the sky
How you linger, How you cry
Love is in the sparrow's eye
Drift away, Sparrow fly
Lift your wing, Catch the sky
How you linger, How you cry
Love is in the sparrow's eye

Every Heart of Gold
02:34
|
|||
There's a light, that ain't shining
And it's more or less dying
And every heart of gold was surely sold
There's a cloud, won't stop crying
But the people won't stop trying
And every heart of gold was surely sold
There's a king, that sings of defeat
But he needed the world at his feet
And came it could, on a plate it would
And every heart of gold was surely sold
And was love in it's hiding
Though it knew perfect timing
And every heart of gold was surely sold
Were the days sealed in writing
Or are pens not for fighting
And every heart of gold was surely sold
And every heart of gold was surely sold

Lay By The Riverside
04:29
|

Lay by the riverside
And your enemies will float on by
Sweet as the sun-burnt sky
Came a river long and wide
Fears are never faced
Without a sour taste
Sweet as I can see
No one follows me
To the man that sings all day
You're gonna clear that river from your way
And like a stone on a mountain top
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
Calmer than the storms eye
Came a river long and wide
Sweeter than the heart that weeps
Came a little sympathy
To the man that sings all day
You're gonna clear that river from your way
And like a stone on a mountain top
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
To the man that sings all day
You're gonna clear that river from your way
And like a stone on a mountain top
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
To the man that sings all day
You're gonna clear that river from your way
And like a stone on a mountain top
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
You're gonna roll roll roll roll like a rock
You're gonna roll roll roll roll...

Here My Dear, Here
03:28
|
|||
Beyond the streams
And hills of green
The autumn days
Are here
These slender dreams
That interfere
Dissolve the seams
That once were there
Washed away, or is it gone
Some would say, it's in the song
Won't you stay where you belong
Here my dear, here
(Piano/Humming "Solo")
The days demise
Is in your eyes
The hour the sun won't rise
The breath of life
Is hot with death
The lonely night's are all that's left
Give me you and I will take
Like destiny belongs to fate
It's only in, such little faith
You're here my dear, here
You're here my dear, here

In The Darkest of Hours
06:03
|

First the flame
Then the fire
Came the voice
Then the choir
Oh in the darkest of hours
From the earth, came the flower
First the rain
Then the shower
Was the frame
Then the tower
Oh in the darkest hours
From the earth, came the flower
(Guitar solo)
Let it grow
Let it thrive
Give it love
Give it time
Oh in the shame, that we hide
From the earth, came the flower
First the flame
Then the fire
From the earth...

Leaving For The City
03:35
|
|||
Bye bye, oh bye bye
Said the man they call the beast
Said I'm leaving for the city
With the buildings at my feet
"Where are you going?" said good old lady faith
Well I'm leaving for the city and I cannot be late
Bye bye, oh bye bye
Said the man they call the heart
Said I'm leaving for the city
Before the day gets dark
"Where are you going?" said the girl he calls his own
Well I'm leaving for the city and I'm leaving all a lone.
Bye bye, oh bye bye
Said the man and that was all
He left for the city, but he never left a call
Where was he going? No one really knew
But he couldn't just sit there
As his heart was turning blue

A Long Time
03:07
|
|||
I've been waiting
For this moment to arise
Yeah I've been waiting all my life
It came so fast
Nothing ever lasts
A long time
On came winter
When I decided to sing
For you I'd do anything
But winter passed
Nothing ever lasts
A long time
There were days, When I'd say
Goodbye
My mind, In a haze
It was all a lie
But it came, And it went by
So fast
And nothing ever lasts
It was foolish
For me to think
There would always
Be somewhere for me
I learned fast
Nothing ever lasts
A long time

All I Have
04:57
|
|||
I belong to the shadows
The fail in the light
I live with the demons
That thrive in night
I long for the star
That fell out of sight
I sing for the song
That swept you tonight
I'll drown in the ocean
I'll breathe in the sea
I'll live in a world
That's lived without me
I don't control the weather
I don't control the mind
I'll never be ready
I'll never be on time
And I don't care for money
And I don't wave a flag
I don't care for things
That I've never had
And I can make you happy
If you don't mind being sad
You'll never see inside me
Cause that's all I have

Dear Lady Blue
05:41
|
|||
I waste my days
Up on the fence
Some people say
That I make no sense
Dreams are wonderful
But they came and they went
Well what's rock & roll anymore
Said it's lost again
Dear lady blue
The world's been waiting for you
You won't be lonely soon
The world's been waiting for you
And like the sea longs a moon
And comes the morning dew
Dear lady blue
The world's been waiting for you, for you, for you
I spend my days
In the rain
But you will never catch me
Complaining
Cause the times they are changing
And you will surely see
That what always was
Won't forever be
Dear lady blue
The world's been waiting for you
You won't be lonely soon
The world's been waiting for you
And like the sea longs a moon
And comes the morning dew
Dear lady blue
The world's been waiting for you, for you, for you,
for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you...

This Is My Home For Now
02:13
|
|||
Traveling across the ocean
Make my way through town
Where can you reach me?
Where will I be?
This is my home for now
Broken from what we carried
Broken from what we left behind
When can you reach me?
Where will I be?
This is my home for now
This is my home for now
London town in the evening
Won't you come, come on down
That's where you'll find me
That's where I'll be
This is my home for now
This is my home for now
This is my home for now
This is my home for now

She came walking through the door
And she left me on a horse
That rode on through the night
Say please won't you stay
As the horse took her away
And stole my heart from her eyes
She won't be lonely
On the street
She won't be lonely
Without me
Said I'll catch you when you fall
But I won't be around anymore
Cause darling, I'm dying, to live
Cause you left my heart in pain
And I thought, I'd never change
It was the horse that took her away
(whistling solo)
She won't be lonely
On the street
She won't be lonely
Without me
Said I'll catch you when you fall
But I won't be around anymore
Cause darling, I'm dying, to live
Cause you left my heart in pain
And I thought, I'd never change
It was the horse that took her away
It was the horse that took her away

Give me pain
For I am hungry
Give me peace
For I am lost
Looking down
The road we travel
I see the bridge
It's wide and long
Give me rain
For I am thirsty
Give me love
For I am blind
Walking down
The road we travel
I'm at the bridge
It's far too long
Give me soul
For I am empty
Give me depth
For I am bare
Walking back home
At sundown
I saw the bridge
I sang its song
