RAMBLIN’ ROSE AT HEART
Oh my love your a ramblin’ rose at heart
Garden sleeps as wild you grow whenever we’re apart
How you bloom with every passing spring
All of my love ah to you I sing
Oh my love your a ramblin’ rose at heart
Your my day and my night the every air that I breathe
Your my hope and my faith , my saving grace and all that I believe
All your sweet love I’ll give you mine
As long as we’re together ah the weather’s fine
Oh my love you’re a ramblin’ rose at heart

Man who's got no name

Man who’s Got no Name
Circled in the shadows , sheltered from the rain
Collar to the wind blowing , head bowed once again
Waiting on the corner has it always been the same
Oh the light it cast no shadow on the man who’s Got No Name
See you in the morning , never stop to say hello
Carrying your baggage , most everywhere I go
Whether standing at the bus stop or just a waiting for a train
Oh the light it cast no shadow , on the Man who’s Got No Name
Always in the distance well I glimpse your fleeting face
You know those days they come and go and the time I just can’t place
I often hear your footsteps as they’re echoing in space
The man who cast no shadow , Lost without a trace.
Their must be many hundreds in every unlit door
Ghostly figures fading fast , washed upon the shore
Hiding from the world at night they fly before the flame
Oh the light it casts no shadow on the man who’s got no name
Oh the light it casts no shadow on the man who’s got no name
I wonder where you sleep at night do you lay your head to rest
Do the stars come out the moon so bright , like Jesus are you blessed
And I wonder what your thinking has it always been the same
Oh the light it casts no shadow on the man who’s got no name
Oh the light it casts no shadow on the man who’s got no name

Queen of Stourbridge Town
Mary at the window looking out across the field
Where the stream ran through the orchard and the church bells they pealed
Across the road the Stour drove the foundry and the mill
And the boats they carried cargo all the way to Castle Hill
She wears a crown with her stately gown
She’s the queen of Stourbridge Town
She wears a crown with her stately gown
She’s the queen of Stourbridge Town
The workers in the foundry in the heat that’s fit to burst
Forged a Lion for Amerikey and came to slake their thirst
But it broke the line and never ran and a legend it was born
On the banks of New York’s Hudson lie the wheels that never turned
Picture on a postcard Zachariah looking down
At the turning of the century his family gathered round
John Francis saw the coming of the second world at war
Saw the bombs rain fire on Birmingham from the step outside the door
Katie at the bar she sat one evening holding court
For she hung the name Fitzgerald’s on the sign above the door
Heard the sound of footsteps was the ghost of Mary’s child
With two hundred years of memories in the shining of her eyes

Starlight Road
First I saw the sunrise it was on the Starlight Road
Sea was blue and velvet and the air was hard and cold
Rolling down to Castletown , going find me heart of Gold
Silhouetted by the moonshine Riding on the Starlight Road
When the Spell is Broken and the time is surely passed
Far out on the water in a sky so big and vast
Gonna drink my fill , lord yes I will savin’ all for when I’m old
And I’m bottling up that moonshine riding on the starlight road

Clear Island

Monday morning Bright and clear
Sweet September day
Took a boat out on the water
Far across the bay
Set our course for Clear Island
Across the roaring sound
Where all the Saints in all their Glory
Stood on holy ground
Going all the way to Clear Island
Set our sights upon the horizon
Left the city streets at daybreak
crossed the sea at noon
On the evening road out west of Ireland
guided by the moon
Gone to light the fires at midnight
far away from home
Gone to fly with angels high
in heaven where they roam
Going all the way to Clear Island
Set our sights upon the horizon

Going Home
03:00

Cold the East wind blowing hard and strong
I’m wishing I was gone I’m going home
Must be oh a thousand miles or more
From here down to your door I’m going home
Feel the coming of the storm
And the wind is blowing warm
As we’re gathered in the dawn
I’m going home
Waiting on the turning of the tide
Gonna cross the ocean wide I’m going home
Sky is black and the rain began to pour
Upon your western shore I’m going home
The wind began to sing
Like seabirds on the wing
As we’re coming in to land
I’m going home
The evening of the day
It began to fade to grey
I wrote your name upon the sand
I’m going home

King of my own country
03:34

Sitting in my kitchen , I’m cooking up a storm
looking out the window, the weather’s bright and warm
I’m just thinking to myself , nowhere else I’d rather be
I’m the King of my own country, and thats enough for me
Rollin’ down the river, trying to find a song
tell you how I’m feeling, gonna help you sing along
I’m happy in my work , sitting here in my own company
I’m the King of my own country, and thats enough for me
I ain’t much for changing, when set upon a course
Love is all my riches, for better or for worse
Married to the future, happy as any man could ever be
I’m the King of my own country, and thats enough for me

The Vision

Oh Trina my dear let’s sail away to Ireland
Take leave of this town move far faraway
I’ll build you a house a wooden ship to sail in
First light of dawn slip gently away
For we’ll carry our hopes and fears for the journey
wrapped up in a blanket stowed safely away
And ah when it rains let love be our shelter
Trina my dear Slip gently away
For time like the tide let not be our master
The clock on the mantle strikes five after tea
we’ll sit and we’ll dream of places to wander
Trina my dear slip gently away
Trina my dear let’s sail upon the morning
Your grandmother’s hands they beckon and call
And in all that you do you’ll be your father’s daughter
Trina my dear I love you so fair
Come evening we’ll land and travel to your home town
Build us a house set down by the sea
A vision so clear like deepest blue water
Trina my dear I love you so fair
For time like the tide let not be our master
We’ll leave when we can for your father has plans
To walk through the fields of youth in his autumn
Trina my dear I love you so fair

Spirit help me find my way home
I’m drunk and I know not which way to fall
Show me the pathway and I will walk
Where the angels of the night they fear to tread
I’ve been battered I’ve been broken
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been torn
By the grace of God almighty I’m here at al
Fallen by the wayside and my sorrows I have drowned
With Katie and the wild boys on the other side of town
Spirit lift me up when I am down
You give me strength to ease the pain
I ‘m sick and tired of this old town
And a world so crazy its insane
I’ve been battered I’ve been broken
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been torn
By the grace of God almighty I’m here at al
Fallen by the wayside and my sorrows I have drowned
With Katie and the wild boys on the other side of town
I’ve been battered I’ve been broken
I’ve been bruised and I’ve been torn
By the grace of God almighty I’m here at al
Fallen by the wayside and my sorrows I have drowned
With Katie and the wild boys on the other side of town

Light of your love

Like a street corner lamp you shine so bright
You put my world in shadow
Revealing the truth in black and white
For all the world to see
With your arms so strong and your eyes so bright
Give me hope and hold so tight
Give me sweet paradise and heaven up above
You show me the way with the light , the light of your love
You’re the wind in my heart and you blow so strong
Your love will last forever
Over the years and on and on
all the way to freedom
Like a bird on the wing you fly so high
Over land and sea and sky
Give me sweet paradise and heaven up above
You show me the way with the light , the light of your love

Well I dreamt I saw your face
On a star in outer space
But the world was spinning fast
And the dream just could not last
You’re a thousand miles away
you’re a thousand miles away
Et au matin il y a le soleil
Qui brille et tu es partis
si proche et si loin a la fois
etoile tombante dificilea attraper
Tu es a des annees lumiere
Tu es a des annees lumiere
