A Bottle Or Six
03:27

I’ve been round here baby once or twice
I know the barman I knew his wife
They’ve served me courage every night till late
A bottle or six are gonna set me straight
Yeah they’re gonna set me straight
Yeah they’re gonna set me straight
I’ve been known to go treading on the wire
Moving to the rhythm of a jungle choir
Not looking down to see the fall beneath my feet
Maybe that’s the only lesson I could ever teach
Yeah that I could ever teach
Yeah that I could ever teach
Give me the common sense not to lose my grip
Keep a knife held up under my tongue and lip
Though it’s a tough road home but we can stroll
along
And then get tangled with the blackbirds on the wall
If them drunken brothers were to come again
Well I’ll greet them with an iron hand
I’ll let them know about the stars above
This one’s for me for my for the what I was
This one’s for me for my for the what I was
I’ve been round here baby once or twice
I know the barman I knew his wife
They served me courage every night till late
A bottle or six are gonna set me straight
Yeah they’re gonna set me straight
Yeah they’re gonna set me straight

Ye Of Little Faith
05:00
|
|

It’s a quarter past the hour
And I’m coming to believe
That there’s a point I’m trying to make here
There’s a view I cannot see
Though all singers have been silenced
And all the good fellas are gone
I feel the moving in the dancing hands
Spinning round the clock
Is there any evidence of the bullet in my brain
Or the tumour that I call my friend
When he comes around for tea
Might I steal a cigarette might I be so bold
We’ll I’m not just quite the sinner yet
But there’s a bounty on my soul
I’m calling, I’m calling
Ye of little faith come out and play a while
I’m rambling, I’m rambling
Ye of little faith sit down and listen child
Take a walk straight into winter
Feel the breeze upon my skin
It cleans away the wrongful answers
That are lying deep within
Striking matches in the darkness
With half a will to understand
If there’s a beating in the heart that
Rests upon my shaking hands
We’re all animals of habitat we’re animals for sure
I can see on the faces of the rich and of the poor
That raging bull is coming out just in time to say
hello
To the little boy they talk about but little did they
know
I’m calling, I’m calling
Ye of little faith come out and play a while
I’m rambling, I’m rambling
Ye of little faith sit down and listen child
Though all the times I jumped and hopped
I’m finally talking to the truth
He seems much less than I imagined
But I imagined he did too
We set to put up all the boundaries
To keep the villains coming through
With each wall so tall I wondered
If I’m closing up too soon
There’s a lot of life to live
A million faces we should know
But what’s the point of it I asked
If they’re all standing far below
With a flicker of his wrist
He up and left me there alone
So I burnt those walls and let them fall
Yo the devil they may go
I’m calling, I’m calling
Ye of little faith come out and play a while
I’m rambling, I’m rambling
Ye of little faith sit down and listen child

Whispering Winds
04:25
|
|

Winter came and passed
To wrap me up in the sweet caress
Though the stories have all been said
I know you’ll save me one or two
You were long and gone
Back to where you don’t belong
Fill your mornings with a different song
I never knew you never knew
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Travel over oceans or just round the bend I will
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Picking up the drifter with the palm of my hands I will
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Take up a notion cut the roots from the stem I will
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Would you care to tag along
The balance seems to go
The highest high and the low below
But somehow it only goes to show
That there’s room for more that one at a time
Step on higher ground
Let me know if it’s safe and sound
Or are there demons coming from all around
Then it’s a drug I’ll never try
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Travel over oceans or just round the bend I will
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Picking up the drifter with the palm of my hands I will
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Take up a notion cut the roots from the stem I will
I’ll be with the whispering winds
Would you care to tag along

Darling I Know You Well
05:01
|
|

|
Lay me down gentle put your head in my hands
I won’t be starting fires
Let’s make a temple out of this bed
Meet me with your hearts desires
Talk to me straight cause the cavalry’s gone
There’s no need to guard and there’s no need to run
We ain’t no lovers we’re just digging for gold
Whatever we find will be melted and sold
Darling I know you well
Darling I know you well
Darling I know you well
I do believe it’s been coming on for way too long
It seems so simple when I look at it now
There’s no before and after
There’s only a feeling a moment we found
When nothing and everything matters
It’s the look in your eye as it came over me
Like the weight of the moon as she tugs at the sea
In the circus you find you’ll be finally free
Our hearts will go flying swinging from the trapeze
Darling I know you well
Darling I know you well
Darling I know you well
I do believe it’s been coming on for way too long
Hold me close and you’ll see
That it’s not as dark as it seems
Let me turn down the lights just this time
I felt it before it could fall
This wind arrived with a call
To let me in past your door
That song that you gave me I just couldn’t ignore
Darling I know you well
Darling I know you well
Darling I know you well
I do believe it’s been coming on for way too long

Listen now darling I know that it’s tempting
To smuggle yourself through the woods
There’s no point in tripping your baggage is slipping
When it’s weighing far more than it should
But I’ll be the whistler, come may the storm
I’ll be the first boat out of the port
I’ll be a farmer, deep in my roots
I’ll be the alibi sent to the noose
Listen now darling the hopes that I mention
Come clean as a white river wash
The last time I noticed your rapids unfolded
Revealing the heart that you’d lost
I’ll be the lone star crisp at the core
I’ll be the long lost love in your porn
I’ll be a willow and let down my screen
You’ll be the jockey and I’ll be the steed
I wish you well

Sweet Tide
06:47
|
|
||
|
I went down to the ocean
To see if I knew what was wrong
Cause the tide had stopped working
And nobody knew who to call
The soldiers they mounted their horses
and galloped their way to the beach
But the sand was too slippery
They where forced to accept the defeat
Oh my my, oh what a sight
We’d never seen nothing like this in our lives
Oh my my, oh what a sight
Sweet tide won’t you come in for me
The mayor arrived with his lawyers
His face was as red as the sun
He said this is what happens when lovers
Lay down together as one
The fishermen puzzled with questions
They’d never seen water so still
Was it God sending a message
Or going in for the kill
Oh my my, oh what a sight
We’d never seen nothing like this in our lives
Oh my my, oh what a sight
Sweet tide won’t you come in for me
Slowly I walked to the shoreline
that goddess was calling me in
She held me up in her arms I
Could feel her awaken from within
She greeted my presence with dancing
To a song with no rhythm nor rhyme
And when we were tired of laughing
Then I knew I was hers and she was mine
Oh my my, oh what a sight
We’d never seen nothing like this in our lives
Oh my my, oh what a sight
Sweet tide won’t you come in for me

Interlude For The Bride
02:00

|

Well in two weeks you’ll be married
And have a Christmas wedding
With the perfect man in flowers
At your misty pine cone setting
Then you move to California
To spread the word you know that
If you strike a deal with Jesus
He’ll supply the beer and pizza
Through the Great Divide, that's right
When it comes to hallelujahs
You’ve got lots in your to do list
Will you sink or will you float
When it gets crowded on your boat
I’m hearing that you’re getting nervous
For when he finally sees you naked
He’s been dreaming of performing
And he hopes that you don’t fake it
And I wonder oh I do,
Hell I wonder you know if you knew
Would I have been good enough
Would I have been good enough
Would I have been good enough
For loving you

Hungry At Dawn
03:44
|
|
||
|
When I get older I’ll say to my daughters
Let there be love in your life if you can
Know that it always runs down like a river
Taunting the pebbles and stones round the bend
I’ll sing, I’ll sing all the day long
For her to find rest in my arms
I’ll wait, I’ll wait hungry at dawn
To kindly tip hats with the lark
When I was younger I yearned for my mother
Knowing I’d only just lose her again
Often I’d crave for the warmth of the lighthouse
Casting her presence right there by my bed
I’ll sing, I’ll sing all the day long
For you to find rest in my arms
I’ll wait, I’ll wait hungry at dawn
To kindly tip hats with the lark
If I was to wake in the clothes of my father
With hairs on my jacket and pride in my hand
I hope that I’d take on the wisdom provided
To look back and witness no shame nor regret
I’ll sing, I’ll sing all the day long
For you to find rest in my arms
I’ll wait, I’ll wait hungry at dawn
To kindly tip hats with the lark

Karma
04:41
|
|

Where do we go, where do we die
At the bottom of the ocean
Or falling from a blue blue sky
You tell it to me oh you tell it to them
If there’s an awakening in the spirits
But no one else cares no
Still I see you pacing lines
You’re talking to the wind
And listening for a sign or a sound
Until one day you’ll hear that bell
Go running and the door to see it’s only
Karma coming around
Karma’s coming around
My fair lady on the wall would you let me in
Let me know who or what you’re grieving for
Could it be oh could it be
A love long lost or a
Truth too heavy to endure
Still that water’s boiling over
It’s dripping on the counter
Oh it’s spilling on the ground
Until one day you’ll hear that call
The rustle in the leaves that can only mean it’s
Karma coming around
Karma’s coming around
She’s coming

Little Blue Bird
02:24

|

This little blue bird she sings to me
Her song is like a killing spree
She sets my heart up into flames
Born from the ash again
This little blue bird she won’t sit still
She’s blowing out the candles on the windowsill
She never looks back at what’s behind
Ready for a different kind
The summer’s gone and I’m feeling lonely again
The summer’s gone and I’m feeling lonely again
This little blue bird she knows my name
And it’s all that it seems that she can ever say
She’s there on my shoulder every time I leave
To make sure I fall in love again
Perhaps if I ran into the perfect one
She’d spread those wings and she’d be up and gone
But until then she’ll sit right here
Singing in my left ear
The summer’s gone and I’m feeling lonely again
The summer’s gone and I’m feeling lonely again
So fly away blue bird
And bring back some love for me
This time it’ll be true bird, as true as it will be
But until then I’ll wait round here
Trying to get my foot through the door
Blue bird don’t you be leaving me no more no more
