Counting Out The Cost 03:03
lyrics
download
There’s a price to pay, in this world that’s so insane Deliver us the future, let’s find what’s left to gain I’ll pass you the goblet, if you hand me the grain Counting out the cost, of the water down the drain Chorus Water down the drain, water down the drain Deliver us the future, let’s find what’s left to gain Water down the drain, water down the drain Counting out the cost of what was lost & what was saved He thought he made the grade, he caught the early train Not just another loser who knew how to play the game Photos in his wallet, all the faces look the same Counting out the cost of the water down the drain She lived around the bay, always dreamt of wealth and fame Thought she’d get there sooner, but the end it never came The shock when she woke up, the slow but sure march of age Counting out the cost of the water down the drain

Holy Man 05:13
lyrics
download
Gather your desires Cast them on stony ground Arrange your disappointments You’re a long way from home now Who’s tending to the sheep? And sortin’ out the goats Graven image in the temple Leaving us a sign of hope Chorus Holy man, now I’m all at sea Holy man, cut you off at the knee Holy man, you can no longer be another Disappointment, rotten fruit on the tree Empty out your cupboards Throw your grist to the mill Don’t talk about your love When there’s no water in your well There’s a snake in the woodpile That’s a vision of your fear A shameful little secret A voice you’re strainin’ now to hear Can’t catch the moon When your feet are made of clay Can’t preach to the converted When there’s nothing left to say And you can’t kill a Sniper With a pistol in your hand Well that’s one thing that I’ve learned yeah It’s one thing I understand

Stones For The Thunder 03:19
lyrics
download
Over the oceans They talk about fame In the bars and the gutters The message the same Love in small measure Loose shackles and pain Strike at the heart The head still remains There’s stones for the thunder And buckets for rain So walk away, walk away, Walk away, walk away Dredging the harbour Is futile you say But I’ve seen the diamonds That they’ve cast away Walking their foreshore I unclip the chain Of times fading glory And loves empty gain There’s stones for the thunder And buckets for rain So walk away, walk away, Walk away, walk away

Listen To The Wind 04:25
lyrics
download
The stars won’t tell me what I need to know The garden’s gone to seed as we reap what we sow The old man’s drinking in the fading light He told me he’d believed that the future looks bright Now he’s sailing down the lonely straits to dawn Bells speak of death, there’s little time to mourn So listen Listen to the wind blow Listen to the wind Listen to the wind blow It’s time to let go Navigate to land south west Hesitation is drifting at best The journey is over, our days worn thin Sharing confusion it’s hardly a sin Now we’re sailing down the lonely straits to dawn Bells speak of death, there’s little time to mourn So listen Listen to the wind blow Listen to the wind Listen to the wind blow It’s time to let go

Ships That Drown 05:31
lyrics
download
Through the door to the morning, we ran to the fray From the glow of the lamppost, to the cold light of day Time’s law and its letters, could hardly hold sway When our dreams for tomorrow, were lived yesterday We laughed at our betters, and thrashed at the fates Pushed ourselves to the limits, left the world in our swathe Swiped the crown from the high shelf, grasped all we could take Ate our fill at the banquet, and spat on the plate Chorus: Now we’re learning to swim, while the ship’s going down Left it to late and, we’re starting to drown God bless the meek, but the meek can’t be found Learning to swim, while the ship’s going down In the wan of the evening, and the dark of the night The world fell to the fire, as we watched it ignite At four in the morning, it’s just far too late Now the party it’s over, the move it is mate Then from out of the ashes, redemption was sworn New songs they’ll be written, and dreams will be born But there is no forgiveness, for us not a sound If you hunt with the wolves, you can’t run with hounds

Circles & Time 04:30
lyrics
download
Draw me a circle and I’ll paint you a line Times like these Times out of my mind Run at the mornin’ And I’ll be right in sight Slip the wind Grasp the vine It’s all just a picture Of times we’ve left behind Things we sometimes valued Shards of the divine Play me the music I’ll be dancin’ in time Counting the beat On the drums in my mind Call for assistance And I’ll point to the sign Ways to see Nothing to find Picture me in clover And I’ll be drinking the wine Days of peace Days have gone by Dream of resistance Dream of what’s left behind Jump the wall Pay you no mind

Dogs Bark 04:17
lyrics
download
The desert keeps its secrets The wind and sun and sand You know you’ll learn the hard way As you wander through this land The dogs bark The caravan moves on The journey continues The way it is long The dogs bark The children take fright The sleep of the innocents Disturbed in the night And the distances they fool you The sand and wind and sun As you start to second guess Which way that you should run Fits and starts The time it is gone I’ve given up believing The path I chose was wrong Fits and starts Often blinded by the light Footsteps in the distance Vanish with your pride The horizon seems to shimmer The sun and sand and wind Sometimes it’s just on instinct That all of us depend The dogs bark The caravan moves on The journey continues The way it is long The dogs bark The children take fright The sleep of the innocents Disturbed in the night

Living It Easy 02:50
lyrics
download
Got nothing to say Got nowhere to be today Just taking a break, living it easy I’ve given my best, stood up to the test. I’ll lay down my sword. I’ve earned my reward There’s no bills to pay Aint nothing that’s left say I’m drifting along to the Words of my own song I can’t hear the rain or the sound of the storm, once I lived on the edge, now I smile, smile at the dawn From their cages and tents All the animals left, my mind it is free for the time left to be And when the sun sets and when you look to the west. You know where I’ll be. Living it easy Living it easy, living it easy, living it easy.
