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

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

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

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
