Long Beating Wing
04:44
|

|
Well here I am today In a kind of lost tomorrow I've got no inspiration in this town I was trying to watch the screen For any sign of movement Or to let someone know if it went down And to listen for your long beating wing I'm not thinking about a train Or any way of leaving As I write down these few simple lines Our conversation fell so short of being revealing But your night cry said everything And the rhythm of your long beating wing You came down from the sky When i was dreaming And you danced boldly around the room You changed all my music with your drums and desire Now all I hear sound and boom Is the Rhythm of your long beating wing

We're living in the darkness now Oh no so far from the light we have known You and I never satisfied for long And we're playing in a game of chance Please darling just one more hand In my heart I know we can start again We'll catch a plane Me and you And turn our heads into the blue to the blue And we hunger for a better day Oh no if only the words that we say Could take us back take us back home We'll catch a plane Me and you And turn our heads into the blue To the blue

Western Highway

I am a driver on a western highway
From the mountains and to the sea
And there's a song on the western highway
That's saying I will be free
The sky is fading to the colour of the valley
Dust of angels and dust of dreams
Your city lights will shine on till tomorrow
And I will not be here
But your light is brighter than anything i've ever seen
And i hear your voice on every station singing out of your dreams
Here I am on the road again the song began
And in the end was standing by
I was standing by the sea
And by the roadside the trees are shimmering
Black and silver in the cold night air
And under the moon a new song singing
Saying I will meet you there
And your light is brighter than anything i've ever seen
And I hear your voice on every station
Singing out of your dreams
Here I am on the road again
The song began and in the end
I was standing by
I was standing by the sea

She walks a silver line sarah A silver line in the coldest winter Waiting for summer to come And she tears the night apart The night apart like a puzzle And there is no answer here So she writes upon the page Sarah Writes upon the page in the pale morning A song that nobody hears And she plays Shenandoah Plays Shenandoah on the piano All her chords tumbling down Sarah the world is calling you As it sails away Over the golden ocean To another day She walks a silver line Sarah A silver line in the coldest winter Waiting for summer to come

The Shades Of Gloria
05:20

I am going to the country, going down that verdant lane
With nothing but a whistle in my hand, and a pocket full of rain
Can you hear that distant sound coming down the West Clare Railway
Running with the shades of gloria
The wind is full of memories that murmur and sigh
Hills lie in the foaming grass of Clare under the cold moon's eye
But you should come and see them now when they are on fire
And running with the shades of gloria
And the waves roll at the headland when the tide is rising there
And here there is starlight falling on the hills of Clare
I knew them when i was hungry and I knew them when I was scared
And running with the shades of gloria
And I am going to the country where Miko in his prime
Weaves a thread of melody in his own sweet time
You can hear him sing and whistle any time you care
To go running with the shades of gloria
I am going to the country, going down that verdant lane
With nothing but a whistle in my hand and a pocket full of rain
Can you hear that distant sound coming down the West Clare Railway
Running with the shades of gloria

Half Moon Bay

The first time I saw you down by the blue ocean
You were talking like a fighter independently
And hanging on to a dream that's what I remember
But the wildness in you I can't explain
And one day on the street comes a beautiful stranger
From such a casual thing a great change has come
And if he could have loved you more still there'd be no reason
To go down that road where love's in vain
Now I think I know your heart
When love carried you away
I heard you returned to Half Moon Bay
To Half Moon Bay
And it's a cold cold night and you can almost hear the sea wind blow
As though on a radio a lonesome sound
And he wonders where you are tonight and what are you thinking
You're lost when he repeats your name
And you turn on the headlights as the raging moon rises
You go deeper and deeper in the familiar dark
And as the fog is creeping in down in the valley
You're high on a hill you're still going home
And I think I know your heart
When love carried you away
I heard you returned to Half Moon Bay
To Half Moon Bay
To Half Moon bay

I was born on the holy ground
A running boy in fields of clover
Living in the grandeur of my father's land
By the side of the swirling sea
I spent the days of childish wonder
And the rocks i held in my young hands
I never felt them slip away
Well the sun shone bright upon the waves
And the wind blew high as I was leaving
And I sailed so far away
Looking for adventure
But I would not stay where the city streets
Proclaimed so loudly man's endeavour
Though music is a pretty thing
In fine company
And the wilderness took my breath away
Under a sun that never falters
A man has to find his way
Where no-one ever goes
It was in the south where my new home lay
With a dark eyed girl and wild horses
With hummingbirds and roses there
In old Mexico
There the winds of change they blew so far
Of liberty and revolution
And it seemed that each man heard in his breast
The drumming of a nation
Oh on the field where the guns did play
I fell there with many another
Where the sage brush grows
And the desert wind is blowing free
I was born on the holy ground
A running boy in fields of clover
Living in the grandeur of
My father's land
