The Void
03:35
|
|||
Where the night falls meekly on barren hills
And the world is still but for the moans
Of a cool wind rustling the Autumn leaves
Haven’t you wandered so far from home
You’ve seen faces that’ve fallen sideways
You’ve seen good hearts get left behind
You’ve roamed and rambled this rugged country
But find yourself out on that line
Take my hand, it’s alright
You won’t lose yourself to the void
You whistled sweetly and didn’t ears turn
To the endless mystery of your song
They sought healing in the words
What’s it worth when you’ve strayed from home?
Take my hand, it’s alright
You won’t lose yourself to the void
Hasn’t the darkness squandered your riches?
Hasn’t the darkness abandoned you now?
I’m still wandering here beside you
Together we’ll find our light somehow
Take my hand, it’s alright
You won’t lose yourself to the void
Take my hand, it’s alright
You won’t lose yourself to the void

Moyglare Road
04:38
|

We strolled down Moyglare Road
‘neath trees of gold and brown
Kicked leaves up from the ground
On an Autumn morning
The sunlight fell upon
These streets of cobbled stone
Oh, how could we have known -
Just what was coming?
I had so much to lose
And lord, I’m missing you
But somewhere down Moyglare Road
I’m holding you still
I was much younger then
And I fell hard for you
More than you ever knew
Or than I ever told you
And so I sang my song
I watched you dance along
But your grace it proved too strong
I fell under your spell
I had so much to lose
And Lord, I’m missing you
But somewhere down Moyglare Road
I’m holding you still
I stroll down Moyglare Road
As frosty flakes of snow
Fall on the same cold stone
On a winter’s morning
But now I dance alone
And though I’ve learned to cope
Sometimes your ghost returns
Without warning
I buried all my hurt when you returned to the earth
But tonight I’m remembering
That morning on Moyglare Road

This Land
03:38
|
|||
This land has made monsters of men
Widows of women
but for what end?
Blood’s been spilled by rebels and damned
The devil’s held us within his hand
This land’s forsaken
Its old and young
Left its homeless on the streets to roam
Hopes were shattered, lost to despair
How many must die before this land cares?
Come now brothers
I speak to thee
Come now sisters
And be set free
You wayward pilgrims
You’ve been condemned
Far from heaven here in this land
This land’s been raided by masters of wealth
They sell illusions and steal your health
Control your leaders, who fall and cower
On crippled backs
They build empires of power
Come now brothers
I speak to thee
Come now sisters
And be set free
You wayward pilgrims
You’ve been condemned
Far from heaven here in this land
Come now brothers
I speak to thee
Come now sisters
And be set free
Forced to wander you’ve been condemned
Far from heaven here in this land
Far from heaven here in this land
Far from heaven here in this land

Within You
03:13
|
|||
You’ve been staring at the bottom of your cup
As if some answer will spring right up
Whatever you want
Whatever you;re seeking
You’ve got already within you
Those seeds of doubt which fill your mind
And bring you down from time to time
Take that black dog and send him home
He’s got no place within you
Make no mistake now
The journey’s long
And there’s some rocky road still to run
But that fire in your heart it can’t be tamed
It’s burning wildly within you
You’ve been kneeling in the dark
With a heaviness in your heart
Rise up in candle smoke
Your bonds are broken
Your heart’s sprung open
Make no mistake now
The journey’s long
And there’s some rocky road still to come
But that fire in your heart it can’t be tamed
It’s burning wildly
Within you
Make no mistake now
The journey’s long
And there’s some rocky road yet to run
But that fire in your heart it can’t be tamed
It’s burning wildly within you
It’s burning wildly within you
It’s burning wildly
Within you

Remember
04:51
|
|||
And life goes on
Like we never wished
The plot it seemed to twist
Until we slipped away
And life goes on
Beneath an auburn sky
We watched our ship capsize
And sink beneath the waves
And I still remember when
I still remember when
I still remember when
You were mine
And life goes on
But memories long to linger
The sins stay with the sinners
And faith begins to heal
Life goes on
And though we may persist
This world will still resist
‘til we’ve been brought to kneel
And I still remember when
I still remember when
I still remember when
You were mine
Darling, tell me shall I stay
Shall I pull myself away and let it all be?
Darling, tell me shall I stay
Shall I pull myself away and let it all be?
And I still remember when
I still remember when
I still remember when
You were mine

Fall
02:45
|
|||
Sitting on a late plane full of guilty feelings
You’ve lost your reason and run your luck
Sipping on a cheap wine
They’ve got nothing stronger
You sleep no longer
You’ve had enough
Don’t be too hard on yourself
You gave it your all
First she led you to the crime
Then she let you take the fall
Waiting at the station
Staring at a hard rain
Some guy is singing and drenched to the bone
It may bring him comfort
It may bring him healing
Everybody’s leaving,
But don’t know where they’re going
Don’t be too hard on yourself
You gave it your all
First she led you to the crime
Then she let you take the fall
Don’t be too hard on yourself
You gave it your all
Well you had yourself a wild time
Took yourself a beating
You talk of leaving and going home
Your whiskey’s almost gone
Your song is almost sung
Your race is surely run and you’re all alone
Don’t be too hard on yourself
You gave it your all
First she led you to the crime
Then she let you take the fall
Don’t be too hard on yourself
You gave it your all
First she led you to the crime
Then she let you take the fall

Song of Healing
03:47
|
|||
I’ve been travelling a hard road
Been weary to the bone
I’ve been travelling a hard road
Been weary to the bone
Won’t you join this wayward pilgrim
And together we will roam
At the end of a long day
You ease my worried mind
At the end of a long day
You ease my worried mind
Put my troubles to the sword
Like some sweet cherry wine
And we’ll sing songs of healing
Oh, lay me down low
Oh, and we’ll sing songs of healing
Like in those days of old
I want to walk to the river’s edge
And lay ‘neath a peaceful sky
I want to walk to the river’s edge
And lay ‘neath a peaceful sky
And there my thirst shall be quenched
And my soul will be revived
And we’ll sing songs of healing
Oh, lay me down low
Oh, and we’ll sing songs of healing
Like in those days of old
I want to dance with you all night long
And waltz around this town
I want to dance with you all night long
And waltz around this town
Let those violins cry and sing
Until we both fall down
And we’ll sing songs of healing
Oh, lay me down low
Oh, and we’ll sing songs of healing
Like in those days of old
Like in those days of old
Like in those days of old
Like in those days of old

The Usual Games
04:30
|
|||
Stumbling in a troubled state
This mountain always seems to take
So much time to climb
Memories tearing at the seams
I twist and turn through sunken dreams
Falling in and out of time
Crossing in between the lines
And the rules that reign
And the usual games
When the wind comes rattling ‘neath my door
The devil’s crawling across the floor
And darkness closes in
I’ll cross my heart and never fear
I know someday this storm will clear
And we’ll hear the heavens sing
Its light comes flowing in
As they call our names
And the Usual Games
A blood red sun sinks far behind
Up ahead black mountains lie
And the road seems a little long
We’ll follow this path though it ain’t a lot
Hell, it’s more than what others have got
There’s comfort knowing how far we’ve come
Turn the volume up, there’s another wise old song
Thank god somethings never change
Like the usual games

Reach Out
03:45
|
|||
Stung by the cold, cruel hand of life
The water’s turned wicked
But you’re turning the tide
You’ll weather this storm
And sail your way home back to the bay
Faced with a mountain and too little time
You’ll need all of your courage with you through this climb
You’ve made it well known,
You’ll show sorry no home -
And that you’ll be fine
If you’re feeling tired
And can’t muster the strength to fight
And If you’re feeling low,
I’ll be by your side
Take the time that you need with the warmth of your friends
May the songs that you’ve sung
Stay with you ‘til the end
Find hope in your struggle and if you’re ever in doubt
Just reach out
And If you’re feeling tired
but can’t muster the strength to fight
And If you’re feeling low
I’ll be by your side
And if you’re feeling tired
Then sleep where your rest will be found
Let me carry what’s weighing you down
Just reach out
Just reach out
Take the time that you need with the warmth of your friends
May the songs that you’ve sung
Stay with you ‘til the end
Find hope in your struggle and if you’re ever in doubt
Just reach out
