Brontosaurus

I need a hand carrying this load
It’s too hard doing it alone
Going round in circles on this road is wearing so thin
Just give me a path without holes
No heartaches or border patrols
These burdens are wearing my soles down to the skin
And I’m spinning like a dwarf planet, forgotten too soon.
And I feel like a brontosaurus howling at the moon.
Hey look there’s me – there I go.
Burning the bridges to everything I know.
Falling in love with everyone,
Burning like a comet headed for the sun.
I need a hand carrying this load
‘Cause I can’t do it on my own
And all the signs are telling me to go to different places.
I’ve been on this road for so long
I don’t know if I can carry on
In another town, singing the same old songs with all these faces.
And you realize it’s all over before it’s begun.
And you’ll only lose your vision, staring at the sun.

The Harbour
04:33

|
We absconded in the moonlight
Past where the milkweed grew.
You tangled up in me, and me in you.
Then we came across a harbor
All the boats were sitting low
And the sirens sang to us from below:
“Down by the harbor
Pour your love into the sea
Drown in the harbor
And give your love to me.”
We were discovered in the morning.
By a farmer and her dog.
As our bodies swayed in the fog.
We were torn from our moorings
Weeds tangled round our limbs
And our arms entwined as the siren sings:
“Down by the harbor
Pour your love into the sea
Drown in the harbor
And give your love to me.”

Higher Than The Sun

Look - the mountain's so high
higher than the sun
breathe the air it's so pure
a new days begun
feel the morning's cool breeze
wake from your sleep
take the path from your door, who knows where it leads.
and if you're feeling down
and things are going wrong
step out of the dark
and into the sun
let us ride on the winds
and run on the tides
lay our weary heads down
and wait for morning's sunrise
let it rush through your veins
this autumnal song
take me from this dull world to where I belong.

Hill O' The Winds

Do you remember that summer’s day?
There must have been some magic in the air I’d say.
We took a walk across the heather,
Lay down by a stream that picture lasts forever.
And your golden hair was blowing in the wind
And the sky was blue.
Over oceans and the seas, through the valleys and the fields
I just wanna be with you.
And so we walked that broken track
And though those days are gone I long to take them back
From that hill the sweetest sound
The skylark sang its song upon that hallowed ground
And the sycamores were blowing in the wind
How those days were few.
Over oceans and the seas, through the valleys and the fields
I just wanna be with you.
I’ve lost my way, I’m far from home
But when I think of you I never feel alone
From that mountaintop looking out to sea
We’ll roam that rocky step that’s where I want to be
And if you remember then you can wait for me
See you up there someday soon…

The cards are on the table.
All of the races have been run.
You’ve done what you were able.
Let’s look at what you could have won.
Everyone’s a winner baby.
Put on your dancing shoes.
No-one’s leaving empty handed.
And no-one has to lose.
The cards are on the table.
All of the aces have been played.
You’ve done what you were able.
Now look at the mess you’ve gone and made.
All will be forgiven.
And no one is to blame.
There's no point in throwing stones at broken windows
In a zero sum game.
Again and again, it’s all the same, again and again..
It just keeps on repeating, and who are we beating
When we’re all bleeding love from our veins?
Again and again, it’s all the same, again and again..
All the world is aflame, I’m so tired of this game, I’m so tired of this game.
