ON
THE FLY
You
want to dance till there's no morning
You want to swim till there's no shore
Ripping up the night like a comet burning
Living on the fly with an open door
You're living on the fly Swinging like an open door
You
want to change, change all around you
You want to change the life you lead
Ah , you know what you want but you don't know how to get there
Living your life floating like a leaf in the breeze
You're living your life floating like a leaf in the breeze
Comfort zone you just don't know the meaning
Chosen path someone else's dream
Living on the Fly you're only way of feeling
Living your life with your heart and soul
Living your life with your heart and soul
PIECE
OF COD
Listen
to the ocean's song that weaveth mighty music
That quells the beast within the man
That darkest fevers sootheth
Dispelling awkward hours
Happy as flowers
See
the herring fleets that trawl the waves of many a bay
Join the vapour ride the summits with the wild winds play
At scooping the naked air
Nothing can lie to you there
Holy
the highest mountains rosy the dawn that licks their sides
Holy the drownded sailor crushed by the wrath of the ceaseless tide
Time takes all away, time takes all away
Salty
the brow of the mariner bright were his eyes and bold his grin
Sour the reek of the seaweed sweet was the smile that once ensnared him
All like lightning gone, all like lightning gone
They
that reel both to and fro, staggering about like drunken men
They that calleth from the deep at the end of a rusty tether
O-MANE
Look
at all the firefolk sitting in the sky
You beneath them eyes real wide
And nobody to care for you O-Mane O-Mane
FATHER'S
SONG (For Camille)
Put
away your Gods and Goddesses
Throw away your golden chains your golden chains
Jettison the things you played with in your youthful phase
Now you're an adult looking through adult eyes
At a world of extreme exposure it came as no surprise
The more I want to guard you the less I'll intervene
But leave some room for me Sweet Coleen
Sure
I see your conflicts and sure I feel your pain
But every road has a turning and love comes round again
There's no harm in looking, looking darkness in the face
For every inch you travel you do it at your very own pace
Though I feel so tender I know I'll have to let you go
Sweet Colleen you're free to roam.
Even
in the Halls of Silence even in your darkest night
Loving arms surround you to hold you safe and tight
The whole world lies before you so leap without reserve
Seize the day that's dawning alive in every nerve
Sure I see the pitfalls the pleasure and the pain
But every road you travel comes home again, comes home again.
THE MIRACLE
There
is, there is, there is a time and space
A place for us to be
Stone cold reason says the world is ours for free
Born in pain astride the grave but born in mystery
Shame on you (said) shame on me if we can hardly see
The Miracle
There
is, there is, there is another time and place
That runs behind the mind
All our restless longings can't confine it's kind
Oh Oh Oh, Oh Oh Oh
Won't you be my friend
Shine on me, said now, shine on you
We can make amends
The Miracle
There
is, there is, there is a place for us to be
Love hate greed hurt are plain for all to see
I want to see it now and see it all
Like precious jewelleryIn all it's flawless movement
The biggest mystery
The Miracle
BROKEN
RELATIONS
Times are
a-changing that much is clear
Broken relations love disappeared
Wise wise fools can forget their woes
A wise wise fool can forget his woe
My heart
was breaking my nerves were raw
Looking for comfort from an empty dawer
Wise wise fools etc
Don't you
see we need a new horizon
Leave behind all things that went before
Our only hope a fresh solution a leap of faith to push that unlocked door
Times are
a-changing our love is gone
Stupid confusions our constant song
Wise wise fools etc
FOOTSOLDIER
Learning
to love the mist in the valley
Obscuring the turmoil with it's high mountain dew
Passing my time in destraction and folly'
Cos I'm still fighting the blues for you
I'm a footsoldier in the army of love
Onlooker from these fields above
Don't even know your heart but I know mine
Surely there'll come a time when words will not conceal
A love that feels so real
I'm
a footsoldier etc.
I hear you like silence in thunder
I feel your breath in the midst of the storm
Totally seared on the spit of surrender
I'm still fighting the blues for you
I'm
fighting now fighting the blues
Fighting now fighting the blues
I'm still fighting the blues for you
RIDING
HIGH
Right
on time right at my door
Blazing a trail in the darkness of night in the depth of the night
Riding
the night sky riding high
Carrying your cargo, your cargo of love, your cargo of love
Finding
my way finding you
Falling down into your arms into your arms
Hail
Hail Bop
Hail hail Bop
Hail hail
Aiming
high not aiming at all
Meeting life just the way it comes just the way it is
Hail
etc
TOAST
YOUR OWN

The wheel is still turning but the hamster has died, Toast Your Own
Lying
on a beach in some sunny clime, Toast Your Own
Swimming with the mermaids taking my time, Toast Your Own

The harder they squeeze the higher you sing, Toast Your Own
