THE SHINING ONES
There's a light, there's a light Shining way up ahead Through the night, through the night
Listen, hear what it said Violins await you Knew your way all along Pearl gates open Heavens words spoken You know you've met with the Shining Ones The Shining Ones
Calmer road, calmer road, calmer road up ahead Freedom sings there, left our wings there Nothing needs to be said See your eyes shining light of lights timing Wondering what took you so long Pearl gates open heavens words spoken You know you've met with the Shining Ones The Shining Ones
Only love, only love, only love is real and this sea of fear will just disappear Nothing needs to be said See your eyes shining light of lights timing Wondering what took you so long Pearl gates open heavens words spoken You know you've met with the Shining Ones The Shining Ones
Calmer road, calmer road up ahead.....

THE FOXES OF CUMBERLAND
The foxes of Cumberland are really quite smart Keeping her distance appears after dark No time for romance it's the thrill of the chase Don't care for position, pride or disgrace
The red coat she's wearing is only the finest Blazing with colour, easy to see Her ways are wily, cunning and smart Wait just a minute he'll be down on his arse
She goes where she goes, which way the wind blows It's a marvellous life One day he'll see She'll have her liberty She'll have her right to this life
The Foxes o f Cumberland love a risk taker Know what it feels like to take up with risk She wont give in, fall into bondage Freedom is something you look for within
Out on the back roads they call her the fox Her reputation has gone to the dogs She knows who she is smarter than most The redheaded beauty who runs like a ghost
Chorus
The wind at her back, the run of the fells The crystal clear waters that run through the wells The snow in the winter that sparkles with light The stars in the heavens to bid her goodnight Chorus

JUST PASSING THROUGH
Just a face in a big parade, the month of June Carnival on a summer's day, sun shining through Hear them singing songs, singing out of tune Won't be here for too long We're just passing through
Time that flies out the window and into the blue Sell your soul to the market place Well there ain't nothing new Who cares about tomorrow It's long overdue For the day and for the moment Just passing through
WINDSONG
Watching the white boat sail, watching the white boat sail Watching the white boat sail, watching the white boat sail Born on the wind we came here, born on the wind we came here Born on the wind we came here, born on the wind we came
Look to the star that guides us, look to the star that guides Look to the star that guides, look to the star that guides Travellers on our way here, travellers on our way Travellers on our way here, travellers on our way
Love holds the universe, Love holds the universe Love holds the universe forever in her sight Love holds the universe, Love holds the universe Love holds the universe Forever........
Watching the white bird fly, watching the white bird fly Watching the white bird fly, watching the white bird fly Calling us into land, calling us into land Calling us into land, calling us into land
Know you before this day, know you before this day Know you before this day, know you before this day Up to the stars we gazed up, up to the stars we gazed Up to the stars we gazed up, up to the stars we gazed
Chorus

THIS LOVE
You set the world on fire, you set my heart in flames This river of desire, I just get washed away This overriding passion This unforgiving sea This dance we dance together This Love can't be contained
These stars can't get no brighter fat moon is almost full This breeze can't blow no lighter This night has heaven's touch Can't stop this train from running This flight won't be delayed I hear the engines humming This Love can't be contained
Let's dance this dance together Let's dance this dance tonight Let's celebrate together Let's celebrate this life Can't stop this train......etc

DON'T WANNA KNOW
Don't care where your shoes have been Whose house you've been walking in Whose big bed you're sleeping in I don't want to know
Good for nothing, bad for me You're a liability Don't tell me that you love me and you'll set me free I don't want to know
Don't wanna know Don't wanna know Don't tell me that you love me and you'll set me free I don't want to know
Shrug your shoulders in defence You talk but you make no sense You make me nervous You make me tense I don't want to know
I need you like a bad disease Like cats need dogs and dogs need fleas Like a workaholic needs a life of ease I don't want to know
Don't wanna know Don't wanna know Like a workaholic needs a life of ease I don't want to know |
THE WILD BLUE SEA
Lately something is making me feel There's more than one way, more than one way to feel
I am a lighthouse, I am a light I'm a song that keeps on playing Into the night, I am a light
Maybe I don't know what it's all about All I know all I know is in doubt I am a light house, I am a light I'm a song that keeps on playing Into the night, I am a light
Safely, safely back to the land Dear hearts, let there be light on the land I am a lighthouse, I am a light I'm a song the keeps on playing into the night I am a light
I've been bought, I've been sold, I've been sick, I've been cold Out on the wild blue sea how I squandered my wealth Been a law to myself Out on the wild blue sea What's the purpose you say of sailing away Out on the wild blue sea To be blessed to be cursed To have taken the worst, out on the wild blue sea Lately something is making me feel..... |

ALWAYS WILL BE THIS WAY
Let me believe that you are the sky That I am the ocean and never will die Let me believe that you are the one Always will be this way
I'll never see you walk in despair Nor entertain notions of living with cares I'll never see you go down in the flood Always will be this way
Let me believe, Let me believe That I am a river and you are the sea Let me believe, let me believe That you are the one Always will be this way
Life will not play us a merry old dance Blinded by progress and given to chance Trouble won't find us losing our heads Always will be this way
You'll walk on water and I'll be the sun Dance till we're dizzy, drink till we're done Follow the river as fast as she runs Always will be this way
Summon the heavens to look down to earth See that we're helpless, confounded by mirth We stand astounded at what we have done Always will be this way |
REMEMBER THE ONE
The hills are alive with the sound of magic Rivers are singing, valleys they hum and the sun in the sky as she sets over Solway It's time for the healing, the others have come
The rose and the briar are all of a beauty the fragrance she carries is potent with love but the fruit that she bears holds the hope for tomorrow With nothing to do but remember the one
Our songs will be heard by the next generation What would you have them take as their own That they know in their hearts the dance is forever With nothing to do but remember the one
The hills are alive and older than memory Watching the troubles that go on below They wait for the time we all sing together remember the old days, remember the one
Know it's not easy when people they try us When we create what we don't want to own But we're one with the earth and one with each other In all the illusion, remember the one
Seeds that we plant will grow to wild meadow Would that we plant it with what we would know Be true to yourself for in truth there's no other Nothing to do but remember the one

THE RETURN
Walked the ways of mystery,I learned the ways of old Read the book of secrets, treasures of the soul Whose towers seem familiar as if to coming home Whose gates to me are open, A place where I was known
Love is ere the password, peace was ere the way Light was always scattered, lanterns on the way Saw the figures dancing, dancing on the wall Then she spoke of mystery, I heard the moon call
Welcome home, it's good to see your face There's a welcome here within Open road, there's magic on the trail And I'll be waiting at the gate
Left this world without a sound I knew I had to go Left my old familiar ways, the path I used to know Left the valleys dear to me, the hills that held my heart as loyal friends they are to me, to them I owe my part
Crossed the bridge of trouble,the waters of despair Seemed as if a dream to me and never had been there I crossed into the other lands, stood upon her shores The mists have all but cleared now, the night she is no more
Chorus
Heard the voice of Babylon screaming in my ear Saw the people suffer, saw the people fear, Saw the blood pour on the land, the notion we are other than Lived to see the hearts of men forget who they had been
When Johnnie comes marching home again hurra, hurra When Johnnie comes marching home again hurra, hurra When Johnnie comes marching home again Kissed the women and kissed the men And we'll all be merry, when Johnnie comes marching home
Chorus
This song was co-written with Lizzy Morrison on a pretty magical night |

ALL THE SAME
They did not grieve for the knowing What never could have been Their hearts entwined by a magic of kind Can't be taken in The land lay undiscovered The gold still left to claim She was not to be his lover But he loved her all the same
They met by those slim chances Don,t seem like chance at all Their eyes knew time had erased from their minds They'd been this way before She knew he recognised her Yet did not know her name She was not to be his lover But he loved her all the same
She whispered over the distance He heard her voice within In dreams they'd find neither earth nor the sky but somewhere in between Where space can't come between us Time cannot erase She was not to be his lover But he loved her all the same
He left one day in the autumn When leaves had turned to gold He left to find where the sun spends her time When winters nights take hold She did not share his money She did not share his name She was not to be his lover But he loved her all the same

INSIDE
There's an ancient river in full flood There's a million planets spinning up above What are you dreaming of Inside
All the stories have been told, All of the secrets kept in our soul we're already home, already home
Telling me I've been sleeping, telling me I've been blind Telling me I've been a fool , scared of the truth Keeping it all inside, keeping it all inside
Watch the evening sun go down Spent all morning running ground Chasing around, all my chasing around
How in the world it came to be Plays on my heart strings Why didn't I hear all this sweet mystery All this sweet mystery
