The May Queen
Lay down in sweet surrender Your love so warm and tender Oh, sweet surrender, now So warm and tender, now Oh-oh-oh Ohhh Inside my waves are breaking Oh! Light of my salvation Oh, my waves are breaking now Ooh, sweet salvation now Oh-oh-oh Ohhh I’m seeking love and glory just like I always do The bosom of the freedom I very rarely choose Out here the fire’s still burning So long into my night… Still captive and still yearning Surrender to your light… A heart that never falters A love that never dies I linger in the shadows The dimming of my light… (Oh!) The dimming of my light… The dimming of my light… The dimming of my light… The dimming of my light…
New World…
With songs we praise a happy landing On yet another virgin shore Escape the old world Embrace the new world Out here the immigrant takes all Across the planes and over mountains Put plight to all who came before They’re barely human It’s time to move them To let them kneel before the sword Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh Uneducate the noble savage The great white father’s word is law Subjugate them to liberate them The poison pen the bloody sword Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh, ohh, ohh Ohh ohh, uh uh uh, Ohh ohh Ohh ohh, uh uh uh, Ohh ohh Ohh ohh, uh uh uh, Ohh ohh
Season’s Song
Oh my love What is there left to do The youth that slept inside me Went away when I found you Oh my love What is there to be done My certain hell escape me My mother’s on the run Oh my love Oh my love The nights grow long The snow up on the hill A kiss up on your lips I summon so farewell No time my love No dirty summer wave You’re still my pretty songbird No longer for me sing Oh my love Oh my love Fall on me Crazy Love Oh-oh (Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah) Oh season time Oh season time (Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah) Oh season time Oh season time To dream my love The desert in my soul I’ll piece alongside the wayside On the solitary road Oh my love When all is said and done I hear the sounds of heaven In your wondrous season’s song Oh my love Oh my love Oh crazy, crazy love Fall on me faded love (Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah) My love, my love Oh my crazy love (Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah) Crazy Love (Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Dance With You Tonight
And now the carnival is over Someone turned out the light Our fields of plenty filled with clover So long ago and out of sight This little light that keeps on shining All through the darkness through the night That ever more will keep reminding The road is long the flame is bright And if there’s one more time I can dance with you Let me dance with you tonight Maybe the last chance our hearts Will dance into the lovers night Out in the land of never ending The rich parade the roar of life We shared a world forever changing Through dancing days and wondrous nights I offered up the secret places Reveal the magic of the land All bound by blood and lipstick traces Till time conspired to steal our crown And if there’s one more time I can dance with you Let me dance with you tonight Maybe the last chance our hearts Will dance into the lovers night And if there’s one more time I can dance with you Let me dance with you tonight Maybe the last chance our hearts Will dance into the lovers night Come on and dance another mile Come on and wear your late, late smile The flame still burning bright Across the days. Across the years If there’s one more, only one more Only one more night Come, come, come on and dance with Me baby make me feel alright If there’s one more, only one more Only one more night Come, come, come on and dance with Me baby make me feel alright
Carving Up The World Again… A Wall And Not A Fence
The Russians, the Americans, the British and the French They’re carving up the world again, it’s getting kind of tense A whole lotta posture and very little sense It’s no surprise they hide behind a wall and not a fence The Irish and the English and the Scottish and the Welsh A damp and misty history they keep it to themselves All lost in dark antiquity and smouldering descent Invisible divisions "behind a wall and not a fence" Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards In China they got worried they built themselves a wall They built it big and long and tall. To keep away the hoard A hundred years of blood and toil. A million lives expend The steely grip of dynasty "behind a wall and not a fence" Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards Emperors and Sultans, Kings and Presidents Dictators and ambassadors engaged in our defence A lifetime of great service, of selfless good intent Guaranteed immunity "behind a wall and not a fence" Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards Trouble at the border. In the eleventh hour Ditch and wire and palisade in the line of fire Call up the cavalry and double up the guard Preparing for catastrophe inside the house of cards
A Way With Words
Leave me here alone For just as long as it takes The seasons turn Waiting for the weather to break Blowing up a storm now Many times I fell from grace The seasons turn Once again our world will change Reaching out to find you I put it all behind you I’m back again, I know Across the miles I find you I put it all behind you I’m back again, I know Coming from the cold Reaching for your sweet embrace The seasons turn Hit beyond your world I wait Is your heart still warm? A little flame, a special place The seasons turn And once again our world will change Reaching out to find you Put it all behind you I’m back again, I know Crossing miles to find you Put it all behind you I’m back again, I know All we built but falling down Holding you and hit the ground I know Blaming tears, the lonesome sound Hopes and tears will burn the ground I know Reaching out to find you I put it all behind you I’m back again, I know Across the miles I find you I put it all behind you I’m back again, back again I’ve… I’m reaching out to find you I put it all behind you 'Cause I’m back, I’m back, I’m back, I’m back, I’m back Reaching out to find you I put it all behind you I’m back again, I know Back again, I know (Mmmm, Mmmm, mmmm) (Mmmm, Mmmm, mmmm)
Carry Fire
I sit and wait for you Like so many others do Just like they do for me Well so I do for you I’d carry fire for you Here in my naked hands I’d bare my heart to you If you will understand I was a stranger there Inside your promised land That turned me inside out And turned me upside down I’d carry fire for you Here in my naked hands I’d bare my heart to you If you will understand Just like Just like Just like I scarred you Just like Just like Just like I scarred you I’m reaching out for you Across the broken gate I feel the gathering years Beyond these lonely wastes I’d carry fire for you Here in my naked hands I’d bare my heart to you If you will understand Just like Just like Just like I scarred you Just like Just like Just like I scarred you
Bones Of Saints
They’re loading up in the ships They’re loading up in the planes There’s madness in the sky Above the bones of saints So much of me is broken The servants of a lie Now everything is burning There’s a fire up in the sky And I said, no no no no no no no no no We’re up against the bench While all the walls fall down I hear the children scream But then the fear abound And that’s the leading question Where all the money comes I’ll say who makes the bullets If you tell me who sells the guns And I said, no no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no In the Garden of Eden And the wheels go round and round The sight of an angel When the best fair deals come down In the Garden of Eden And the wheels go round and round The sight of an angel When the best fair deals come down No no no no no no no no no No no no no no no no no no No… No… No… No…
Keep It Hid
What you gonna do when it’s cold outside? And who’ll keep you warm when the sun won’t shine? And who you gonna call when the day is done? And who you gonna rock when your man has gone? Now baby take the wine from the loving cup Mamma, take your time, don’t you spill a drop Fine little mamma, let me be your kid Keep it to yourself, baby keep it hid To yourself, baby keep it hid Keep it to yourself, baby keep it hid To yourself, baby keep it hid Baby takes her time, likes to walk by the sea She’s got some trouble in mind, life in a minor key At the end of the world when the sun comes up There’s a silver key and a golden cup Silver key and a golden cup Silver key and a golden cup Silver key and a golden cup Silver key and a golden cup Silver key and a golden cup
Bluebirds Over The Mountain
Bluebirds over the mountain, seagulls over the sea Bluebirds over the mountain, bring my baby back to me Boy and girl they fell in love, each was like the hands above He looked in the eyes of blue, she vowed to him that she’d be true Bluebirds over the mountain, seagulls over the sea Bluebirds over the mountain, bring my baby back to me (Well, well, well, well) I miss you, oh, can’t you see? You’re the only one for me Since you’ve gone, I’m all alone, c’mon, baby, come back home Bluebirds over the mountain, seagulls over the sea Bluebirds over the mountain, come on and bring my baby back to me Bring my baby back to me Bring my baby… Bring her back to me Bring her back to me Bring her back to me
Heaven Sent
There’s an angel at the gate singing A stolen kiss, a fall from grace, singing out He’s heaven sent, he feeds the flame of everlasting love His empire falls, his spell will break Once cast aside, his song awakes He’s heaven sent, he rides the waves of freedom’s golden flood Now shadows fall, the hour is late Still hear your song, but time won’t wait Once heaven sent above the world The eagle and the dove All that’s worth the doing Is seldom easy done All that’s worth the winning Is never easy won All the long goodbyes All the goodbye songs All the love for giving Never really gone All that’s worth the doing Is seldom easy done All that’s worth the winning Is never easy won All the long goodbyes All the goodbye songs Spend the time forgiving Never really done Never really done
