- 02 Roll River Roll - Lady's Bridge 2007
Roll river, keep on rolling
Ancient lady cold
I'm forsaken, lost and forgotten
Roll river, roll
Roll river, roll river roll
Let it take me, free and unchain me
- 5.Lady Solitude
Wake in the morning, feeling low
I don't sleep at night
Oh you've broken my heart
Here’s in the dark moonlight
I see a rainbow, I don't know where it goes
Going to follow my dreams
Oh someday baby
- As the dawn breaks
As the dawn breaks over roof slates
hope hung on every washing line
as your heart aches, over life's fate
I know we never had much time
for us to give, but we did
there's something in those deep blue eyes
As the light creeps over the houses
- Baby You're My Light
First time the longing in you wears the girl that grows it
And if he relieves you know that then you've blown it
And as life goes on you know you get to taste
All you find
'Cos baby, you're my light
Baby you're my light
Next time the feeling is the same, don't have to show it
- Before
Here we are
Lent to the earth by the stars
But it won't be me
That sets you free
No it won't be me
Who closes the door on before
Before
- Born Under A Bad Sign
What are you like? You've had a right life
And taken a long ride, but oh what a cost
And all of your life, staring at white lines
Reading the road signs, and oh what a loss
Sleeping late in the afternoon, playing your guitar
- Coles Corner
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
All over the rivers there none into dark
I'm going downtown where there's music
- Coming Home
Going to the station, ticket in my hand
Gonna see my lady, think she'll understand, my lord
Walkin’ to the river, take my rocking chair
Let that feeling overtake me, drift away from here, my lord
I think I'm coming home to you, my lord
I think I'm coming home, my lord
- Dark Road
It’s a long dark road, that I call my home
It’s a long dark road, that I’m cursed to roam
These many nights I’ve been banished here
My companion is the stars
With a bed roll and a blanket
And just the rock’s to lay my bones
One day from the darkness
- darlin'
Darlin', do you remember me
Back when I used to be your darlin'
Darlin' you know it?s so hard to tell
Why you said farewell, to me darlin'
You said you wanted to be free
But this loneliness is just killing me
My darlin'
- Don't Get Hung Up In Your Soul
Where you gonna go
Now they've closed the old home down
And everybody's let you down?
But you're the beauty of the town
Baby, don't get hung up in your soul
Don't let 'em make your heart grow old
Don't get hung up in your soul
Baby, don't get hung up in your soul
- Down in the Woods
They think tv is the thing
They think cars everything
To kiss your kind, apple cheeks
Stolen love under a canopy of trees
Won't you follow me down
Down into the woods
Won't you follow me down
Come back feeling good.
- For Your Lover Give Some Time
It was your birthday yesterday
I gave a gift that almost took your breath away
But to be honest I nearly left it on the train
For your lover give some time
You talk forever on the phone
To your mother and with my thoughts I'm left alone
Now and then I think : how strange our love has grown
For your lover give some time
- Happy Families
Life can be unkind, I've seen it in your eyes
I've loved you all my life, and loving you is fine
But I won't let you go straight
No I won't let you go
Cos we're just one big happy family
And we're not touched by the hands of tragedy
- Hotel Room
Ten thirty in this hotel room,
You and I locked in the gloom,
Lost out of love once again
But I've got you here with me friend
(Chorus)
Cos you're here in my arms
Here in my arms
- I'm Just Here To Get My Baby Out Of Jail
(Yes warden) I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
I'm not in your town to stay said a lady old and gray
To the warden of the penitentiary
I'm not in your town to stay and I'll soon be on my way
I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
(Yes warden) I'm just here to get my baby out of jail
I tried to raise baby right and I prayed both day and night
- I'm Looking For Someone To Find Me
When you're tired and a little lonely
And you heart has nowhere to head
Think of me I'll be thinking somewhere
Of all those things that you said
But don't be cruel to me
Don't be cruel to me
- Just Like The Rain
Walking silent through the snow
Drifting softly to your door,
I'm coming home, I'm coming home.
I feel so strange, I feel so weak
I've walked a world of empty streets
In search alone, I've searched alone.
- Lady's Bridge
Take me with you when you go, down to the river
It's the only place I know where I can forgive her
Take me with you when you go
I'm tired of living life on hold
Take me with you when you go…
Down to the river, down to the river
Down to the river, oh I know!
- Leave Your Body Behind You
Child of Eden your time is short
You can't leave with more than you've brought
Love given lightly can never be owned
A thing we feel but can never hold
You leave your body behind you
When you leave this place
You leave your body behind you
- Long Black Train
When the nightingale sings in the deep of the night
And the robin he sleeps on the wing
Hear the toll of the bell ringing out all is well
And the city's golden lights shining on
Ride the long black train
Ride the long black train
It takes us all the black train
- Love of my life
Love, love of my life
Speaking so soft to me
I wait in the rain
Your sin in your eyes
Washing all over me
Time, time on my side
Wondering sweetly
- No Way Home
I'll see myself out of this world
We don't get long and no rehearsal
So I'll shade my eyes and watch the shadows grow
'Cos I'm not coming back
Maybe I've been too long in this town
Even the happy faces just bring me down
So maybe now it's time to move on
- Oh My Love
Oh my child
It's been a while
I've got my style
I've got my life
Oh my love
Oh my love
You're a cut above the ones who say
You're a cut above me today
- Open Up Your Door
Open up your door
I can't see your face no more
Love is so hard to find
And even harder to define
Ooh open up your door
Cause we've time to give
And I'm feeling it so much more
Open up the door
- Precious sight
Smallwood, a joiner takes carpenter out for a meal
As soon as we dock see the captain to get a better deal
My darkness in mind is concealed
I'm in here alone and unreal
But not anymore
Not anymore
Up above and outside we looked towards the stern of the ship
- Remorse Code
Truelove's Gutter
2009
You're caught
In the net
Fathoms deep
In regret
- Run For Me
Later here this morning, if the crowds hold back the rain
I'll declare my intent to race again
Baby I've done running
I've cut myself a deal
Gave myself a ladder, this time for real
And I've got nothing on the inside left to charm, just look at me
And I've got nothing to live up to and nothing to reveal
Go on run for me
- Seek It
I had a dream
And you were in it
We got naked
Can't remember what happened next
It was weird
I had my fortune
Told and it
- Serious
When you are in love
Ah you feel the stars above
There’s no devil in her eyes
There’s no darkness in disguise
But when you are alone
A kiss can turn your heart to stone
Hearts breaking in the night
There's a devil in her eyes
- She Brings the Sunlight
Well I'll ask the life
Lighter beside me
There’s no question why
She's the first, the last and always
With grace she walks
Through my open door
Her perfume reaches
In before her
- Soldier on
Never say goodbye
you're the apple of my eye
the bells I hear them ring
and in the churchyard children sing
for so long, for so long
I've soldiered on, for so long.
Another blessed morning comes
- Standing at the Sky's Edge
Joseph was a good man though he killed his wife
And his hungry little children, he took their lives
This was the act of a desperate man
With all the love in his eyes and no evil hands
He was standing at the sky's edge
And out there, who knows what he's thinking?
He was sliding down the razor's edge
- Sunlight
Could this be the end of sunlight's sacred friend
Where everything surrounds me in suffocating sand
Oh the end, the end, sunlight without end
I've seen it in your eyes, I've seen it in your eyes
I've seen it in your eyes, never say goodbye, again
Again
- The Motorcycle Song
And I don't know my way back home
My motorcycle's full of holes
And I can't find my way back in
I'm hungry and my shadow's thin
The road of anyone can change I know that we won't meet again
The key was in the open lock
You'd see through any blanket fog
There's places is on the seabound roll
- The Ocean
You lead me down, to the ocean
So lead me down, by the ocean
You know it's been a long time,
You always leave me tongue tied
And all this times for us
I love you just because
- The Only Road
The only road I walk alone, where beauty nails me to her cross
Bleeding from my hands and feet I whisper that my love is lost
I water flowers in the rain, I dance beneath your silver flames
I'm crippled by the sound of love
- The Sea Calls
The sea calls, out to an old hand
To go sailing to new lands
They pay for your worth
Bread, drink and a berth
Ah honey, I've got to go
The ship took the crew off to new lands
The boson piped all hands
- The Sun Refused To Shine
And all the guests were guessing there
Fake tender smile blinded many a doubtful eye
It's almost too much to bear
Give a careless rose a thorn for her to needle all her life
The sun refused to shine
The sun refused to shine
- The Wood Collier's Grave
Down in the greenwood there was a lass
Stole my heart along the path
Then came the woodman with his axe
Cut the trees down to the grass
No more greenwood, no more lass
She broke my heart and took the past
Broke my heart and took the past
- There's A Storm A Comin'
Ed Harcourt
The Storm Is Coming
Well what starts out as a warm breeze turns into something more
Like the lightning burns down houses
Or the wind that blows down doors
Oh I see it in the distance
It moves much faster than I think
- Time Will Bring You Winter
Take me back to you
This strange world I've been seeing
The way you hold me like a creature
Brings me back the thirst for freedom
Hollow freedom
Nights are growing cold
Loneliness just makes them colder
- Tonight The Streets Are Ours
Do you know why you got feelings in your heart?
Don’t let fear of feeling fool you
What you see sets you apart
And there’s nothing here to bind you
It’s no way for life to start
Do you know that tonight the streets are ours?
Tonight the streets are ours
- Valentine
Hold me
In your arms
May they keep me
Sing me
A lullaby
Cause I'm sleepy
I'm scared you don't need me anymore
- Which Way
I'm learning to trust this time
In the jungles of this life
I'm asking which way do I go?
Give me some directions please,
Solid ground is all I need
Won't you tell me, which way do I go?
