SON OF A STAR
04:14
|
|||
|
…And the deep blue sky is my only friend
We can never guess how our time will end
History can’t hide nor lies take away
How we pass our time to another’s days
Son of a Star
As we hurtle through all of life’s debris
With no time to rest and short sympathy
If you pass a chance recall where it was
Fading memory is a soul that’s lost
Son of a Star
As routine sets in and we shift our sites
To a lower line and then contemplate
As the wrongs increase try not to forget
You are still alive and there’s still more yet

I WANT TO GO
04:42
|
|||
|
First there was one who had a plan
The plan meant all things must be pushed aside
We had a talk, we all agreed
Agreement meant that all things go aside
I turned away and closed my eyes
And saw how all the things I love might be
And though I’ve made mistakes before
This time I smiled and then I said
I want to go
I tried to think about the past
And how the past can show the way ahead
But with no past, only ideas
The rhythm locked deep down inside the thread
I worked it like no other dream
An even corporations raised their heads
But then when everything else was said and done
Only a tiny speck of sand was left
I want to go
Make the essence of it all last, as long as you can, my friend

SUMMER HILL
05:06
|
|||
|
Accidents are accidents, and judgement can be poor
We create a truth in our heads and then want more
Reading the paper, checking the facts
Something is going on behind our backs
I’m dreaming and time is standing still
I’m dreaming it won’t come true but it will in Summer Hill
Trainspotting, counting the carriages
Journeys that trail away on the western line
Turning away and then, walking across the park
Turning in to the street….

OUR SPACE
05:05
|
|||
|
Do we feel alright in our space tonight?
Can we feel alright in our space tonight?
I wont say anything
I’ll just be in our space tonight
Moving on our own in our space tonight
Working on our own in our space tonight
Walking on my own, I’m in our space tonight
Working on our own, we’re in our space tonight

MY BEAUTIFUL SECRET
04:42
|
|||
|
Come on, you’ve got time and you’ve been here before
Come on, you know the way and it’s easy to play
Be sure and take care, bring it back home
Be true but beware, you know what’s out there
My beautiful secret is now known
The tune, and your eyes, what I despise
Old maps and the sun
How it used to be, technique, where to next and the notes on the neck
Be true, beware, but you know what’s out there
I’ll let you in on it but you still don’t have a clue
My beautiful secret, I give it to you

FIND THE TIME
02:49
|
|||
|
The children of children are lost in their time, so we should get back real soon
Its getting dark and they need to come home so we should get back real soon
I need to find time, to put my world to right
I need to find time
The sparkle that faded and then disappeared is fixed in my own mind
The conversation’s ebb and flow comes back from time to time
Time and the State is power in the mind
Love eye to eye, ensure you find the time
I and I have seen it more and more
But you and I, we need to be sure

TODAY
03:40
|
|||
|
Today, we learn everything for tomorrow
Tomorrow, we think about what we did today
Today, we give away artifacts
Tomorrow, we think about what we did yesterday
I let it out so far, I didn’t think it was coming back
I threw it out so far, I didn’t think it was coming back today
Away, it’s somewhere else this time
Away, it’s something else for you this time
We haven’t grown up yet, even though we’ve been round and round
I strapped myself back and fired all my sound today

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
04:49
|
|||
|
We‘re gonna leave this town soon – be careful what you say
I’m gonna have to pull out – be careful what you say
The truth will always come out – be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
You never listen to me – be careful what you say
I never know what you want – be careful what you say
We’ll always be together – be careful what you say
Be careful what you say
There’s something stopping what we’ve got to say
Gaps in the conversation
Gotta find a way to get that message through
Even if it goes like this…na na na na …

REMEMBER
04:29
|
|||
|
Remember, good can still be found
Whenever life it running down
In my dreams you were so fine
In real life you are mine…Remember?
Even on the blackest day
When we cant find the words to say
In my eyes you were the one
In my hands we are one…Remember?
Touch me, I crave the love we made
That time will protect and future save

WAIT
03:46
|
|||
|
Sometimes it’s always there
Sometimes it’s almost there
I’m achin to be, dying too long
Gotta keep up the strength, gotta keep moving on
The struggle’s the gain, the end is the pain
I don’t want to get there quick, I’ll never have it again
Wait
Sometimes it’s never there
Was it ever there
I’ve been such a fool, I was lead to believe
I was lacking in thoughts that would let me perceive
I was scratching at doors, feeling the walls
Looking for help from those I didn’t even know
Sometimes you end up there
Sometimes you’ll end up right there
I’m cooling my heals, I’ll let it run its course
I’ve got no control so I’ll just let it unfold
There’ll be no one to blame and nothing will change
You’ll be doing the wait and you’ll be wasting your time

FOGGY RIVER
06:01
|
|||
|
Let’s take a drive in the night-time, south on highway 31
At the end of June the night is cool, space yourself and travel on
The road ahead is getting grey, lights are staggering through the haze
The bridge across, and its far below to an ancient world
Foggy River, where we could disappear
Foggy River, if you don’t see me you wont know
Foggy River, travel through the spirit dance
All the hurt that we employ that puts a limit on our joy
Those useless things we think we need just separate you and me
Fade away as we go through the rain-soft mist and night-time dew
Takes you back and forward to all the things we need to do
All the times I’ve let you down
All the things we cant complete
All things we said we’d do
All the problems we can’t beat
Let it go
