The Road
05:37

I fill up the tank, I spend everything I've found
I drive on down for hours just to saturate the sound
I just can’t wait to come on home
But I’ve got a heart that’s built to roam
I fill up the tank, ready for the journey ahead
I rack up more on my club card than I do hours in my bed I just can’t wait to come on home
But I’ve got a heart that’s built to roam
When I cross the Colne
I know it’s only twenty miles to home
I fill up the tank, load her as full as she can bear Guitar, my boots, one lonely musician
Punching that gas for god knows where
I just can’t wait to come on home
But I’ve got a heart that’s built to roam And I, I'm only twenty miles from home

They Will
05:53

She opens her eyes to the thoughts that are plaguing her mind
She stretches her arms reaching out to the hope she can’t find
She places her feet firmly trying to lift up her head
But the thought of the day looking quite as it does calls her back to her bed
She curls up and thinks of a time when she held herself high The tears on her pillow she wonders if they’ll ever dry
But they will, I promise they will
The hours fly by on the clock that she wears on her wrist
Sometimes a second feels more like a day that she’s missed
Time is illusive always seen running away
There’s some quiet solace in the thought that tomorrow might be a better day
When the light all around her has faded to some far off place The clouds all above her will they ever shine a light on her face They will, I promise they will
When the call of the voices she hears in her head bring her down Will the light of her loved ones be enough to help her not to drown When will she trust that they’ll help her to pick up her crown
'cos they will, I promise they will

Less Than Two
05:03

This might take our breath away for just a little while This might knock the wind out of our sails
Lyrics
But screw your courage to the sticking place For I am pretty certain we’ll not fail
'cos we’ve got hope
That the show goes on, on a different day I will take your hand and lead you through To a time when we are less than two.....
Living in the shadow of a time we thought would never come
All we took for granted is on the line
Summer’s looking empty as the music halls wash up on the wind But at least the view from here is looking fine
'cos we’ve got hope
That the show goes on, on a different day I will take your hand and lead you through To a time when we are less than two.....
How I yearn to see your face
To hold your hand and sing along How I yearn to dance in pairs
In the summer sun in the throng 'cos we’ve got hope
That the show goes on, on a different day
I will take your hand and lead you through
The show goes on, on a different day
I will take your hand and lead you through
To a time when we are less than two metres away

I Could Have Loved You
04:20
|
|||
I could have loved you if truth be told I could have fallen madly in love
I could have melted the icy cold
You suffer so gladly
The fire turns to ember The sun's turn to spectre And I cannot save you
I could have loved you if given the chance We could have been something rare to find I could have showed you the steps to dance If you'd have only dared
The clouds turn to lightening
The darkness inviting
And I cannot save you
I could have loved you swimming upstream I would have waded the shivering foam
I was a salmon chasing a dream
And you took me from the river
The hook turns to baiting The fisherman’s waiting And I cannot save you
I cannot wave a wand and lessen the length you hold me away
I cannot save the sullen young soul too guarded to enter the fray I cannot save you
I cannot save you

Jumping Waves
05:38
|

Waves roll onto the sand
And tidal forces are always at hand
I can’t stop them coming
And you well you know, there’s no sense in running
If you jump when the wave rolls around
Jump lift your feet from the ground
You can rest for a while and maybe a smile can be found And maybe no more waves will roll around
Some think the moon pulls her weight
Others think it’s only fate
But I can’t stop them rolling over
But you can stand tall and you can stand strong and there’s no way that wave will be bowling you over
If you jump when the wave rolls around
Jump lift your feet from the ground
You can rest for a while and maybe a smile can be found And maybe no more waves will roll around
I know you think that you might fall but I’ve got no doubt
You can always take one more and then get up from the floor 'cos the tide will go out
If you jump when the wave rolls around
Jump lift your feet from the ground
You can rest for a while and maybe a smile can be found And maybe no more waves will roll around

Five Lonely Voices
06:02
|
|||
Here in my hotel room doing my upmost to cry
Praying for tears to fall
How could I have known then burdened by best western fatigue That the sweetest release was in your call
In old number seven, oh it was heaven to me
Five lonely voices echoing on only kitchen tiles
Alone on a hill for now
Finally they gathered they sang what we needed to hear But we didn’t know somehow
In old number seven, oh it was heaven to me
Voices fall on timbered walls and I hold on tight The sermon swells, how could you tell tonight
In old number seven, oh it was heaven to me

Piano In The Woods
04:37
|

I went walking today in the woods
You’ll never guess what I found
Miniature carvings scattered through the woods And the tiniest throng crowding round
There for the heart, there for the soul Encased in the bark 1000 years old The piano in the woods
Tiny pilgrims rush through the snow
In search of that sampling sound
On their journey from terracotta homes Gathering pace on through the towns
Carved from the trees, the sky now is clear Pilgrims will come, pilgrims will hear
The piano in the woods
People will travel the wide open woods to see for themselves To witness the birth from all that has been felled
Up through the earth up through the breeze Sisters in arms, singing for the trees
The piano in the woods

Singing Together
05:44
|
|||
Here I am on a school night singing the blues All alone on a stage with something to prove And I’m waiting for a sign
That the chorus bells will chime
Singing together as one we will raise up the roof, skies unfurl Singing together as one side by side we stand as proof
That the world can be better together singing as one
By the light of the sun we will meet in the spring Although winter our spirits may splinter, we will still sing Oh and ne’r have I gone wrong
With family forged in song
Singing together as one we will raise up the roof, skies unfurl Singing together as one side by side we stand as proof
That the world can be better together singing as one
It’searly time for the glasses to return to the bar One more song for the road to sum up who we are Oh and one more voice could light the stars
If sounding in harmony with ours
Singing together as one we will raise up the roof, skies unfurl Singing together as one side by side we stand as proof
That the world can be better together singing as one
