Tom you didn't have to go
Because the girls were small and sleeping
And the boys had all done fighting
you didn't have to go
And what was it that you saw
that you couldn't stand the crying
and you had to keep on flying
you didn't have to go
I thought i saw you standing in the tall grass
beneath the cover of the overpass
was that you
Tom you didn't have to go
Because the girls were small and sleeping
And the boys had all done fighting
you didn't have to go
I thought i saw you standing in the tall grass
beneath the cover of the overpass
was that you
Tom where are you now
well are you sitting by the lakeside
well did you ever turn a blind eye
you didn't have to go
well are you waiting on the living
is there a part of you that's thinking
And Tom if you're looking
well are you waiting on the living
is there a part of you that's thinking
you didn't have to go
I thought i saw you standing in the tall grass
beneath the cover of the overpass
was that you
was that you
Tom you didn't have to go
Because the girls were small and sleeping
And the boys had all done fighting
you didn't have to go
you didn't have to go
you didn't have to go
you didn't have to go

The Curse
04:35
|
|||
|
October fell down like a boulder
I watched the days turn into nights
But all along I knew that life would get much harder
Harder than they were before
We took the road that led us down to the shore line
we left our footprints in the sand
we turned around and headed back to the city
and that's where we are standing now
Oh oh oh oh oh I use to hold onto you
Oh oh oh oh oh you used to pull me through
you used to pull me through
Once we sounded like an old piano
playing the songs I used to love
then all the chords turned from major to minor
that's when you know you've got to go
Cos I had nothing left to give
No I had nothing left to give
And I lost you
It always start so good and wraps you up in cotton
and shoots an arrow to your heart
but then one day the arrow turns to poison
and the poison starts the curse
Til you got nothing left to give
And I had nothing left to give
and I lost you
That's when I lost you

Beautiful Child

There ll be a sign, There ll be a sign
just one marked card, a burning cross
a magpies curse
There ll be a sign
then an out stretched hand, an out stretched hand
Cos there ll be another chance
a bloodline crossed
a single drop of rain could change this course
And you try try try, you lead me on
And you try try try
with the eyes, and the heart, and the soul, and the love
of a Fatherless child
When you cried those tears, i could see
a window into your soul, the pain and the mystery
The guilt you feel, the pain you bleed
you burn so bright, well i can see the beauty
with the eyes, and the heart, and the soul, and the love
of a Sister less child
I climb this hill, and I can see the future
a view so bright, well I can see the beauty
and I feel the sun on my face
so take my hand, cos I can feel the beauty
and you laugh laugh laugh, you lead me on
and you laugh laugh laugh
with the dreams, and the hope, and the charm, and the joy
Of a Beautiful child
a Beautiful child
a Beautiful child
a Beautiful child

Soul Mates in Time
05:17
|
|||
|
When the stars Aline in a moonlit sky
And ancient energies are rising
you're never gone too soon
I'm never far behind
Through the hands of time
I will always find you
And when we're here on earth
its all a mystery
but when you're here with me
I can feel the history
and who am I to you
and who are you to me
Soul mates in Time we will always be
And you got, when you want me, and it feels so fine
Soul mates in, soul mates in time
I remember when, we were sitting in
Elysian, and these words you told me
everyone down there, they got their cross to bare
but its only the cross that they can carry
They're carrying the cross, carrying the cross
They're carrying the cross, carrying the cross, carrying the cross
Carrying the cross
And as you turned to go, to start this life again
with all the suffering a little rain must fall
a spirit destiny, poor or rich a slave or free
Soul mates in time we will always be
And I can feel you underneath my skin
And I can feel you rising up again
And you got, when you want me, and it feels so fine
Soul mates in, soul mates in time
And you got, when you want me, and it feels so fine
Soul mates in, soul mates in time

Darkest Day of The Year
05:03
|
|||
|
Well its the darkest day of the year
And I'm just hanging around
hanging around for you
but you ain't gonna call
cos its the darkest day of the year
You told me that this was our time
then you left me out in the cold
you went running back to the place
that you thought you would be safe
but you ain't got what it take
and he ain't got what it takes
to pull it back from the edge
and shelter you from the storm
cos you don't feel the love
that you feel with me
and he cant hold you through the night
the way you need to be
and you cant hide these emotions
I can see it in your eyes
you're holding back the tears
cos you're running out of time
Well this town is getting cold
and in the forest all the leaves are gone
and just one wild rose
is all that's holding on
and its petals are the colour of blood
and i guess that's all that it takes
to keep this heart alive
for you and me to survive
And I can still feel
how your hand felt in mine
and i can still feel
how your lips felt on mine
and you can't change your heart
But I can't change your mind
and you can't learn to love
when you know its not right
and its not right
no its not right
no its not right
no its not right
Well its the darkest day of the year
And I'm just hanging around
hanging around for you
but you ain't gonna call
well its the darkest day of the year

The Pace
04:33
|
|||
|
When all of the pace is gone
and all of the ways are known
and all around life looks so easy
when all of your dreams go wrong
and all of the life lines thrown
get lost in a sea of trouble
you got the love inside your eyes
but you got no one left to cling to
you got the passion in your heart
but you got no one left to hold you
There's no one left
When all of the darkness feels
like it won't ever let you go
and you won't ever feel the same again
remember the paths we cross
set us on our own true course
unique in our own true way
you can't hide behind those eyes
cos I will always come to find you
while there's the passion in your heart
A dream will always come to guide you
you know its true
you know its true
There's no one left
one day we'll all get to feel the harmony again
and all that binds and ties use down is cast into the wind
a picture of you will be
forever iternally
burnt into my memory
so remember the paths we cross
set us on our own true course
unique in our own true way
you can't hide behind those eyes
cos I will always come to find you
while there's the passion in your heart
A dream will always come to guide you
you know its true
you know its true
you know its true

Ride
03:56
|
|||
|
I was locked out and cast out with nowhere to go
I was tired and cold alone on the road
with my head in my hands and my heart in my throat
Looking for some kind of home
When I saw you I hoped you might be the next one
and if we have a chance then please tell me now
cos a boy wants to live and a boy want to give
his love to a woman that cares
When the day turns to night there's no place to hide
and the silence i hear fills me with fear
cos I want to sleep in a place where im free
to wake up and call out your name
when im out on the road all the places i go
they echo the past and all the people iv lost
well i want to ride with you by my side
and we'll ride all our troubles away
well i want to ride with you by my side
and we'll ride all our troubles away

Every Road
03:49
|
|||
|
Every road I take goes the same way
Across the river, through the valley, it's the same
Where ever I may start, which ever road I choose
I take the road, that leads me back to you
And all the times before I made it on my own
Through good and bad times, I had to carry on
When I saw you and I new that you were free
I prayed you'd take the road, that brought you here to me
I prayed you'd take the road, that brought you here to me
It takes two to build it up
And two to carry on
There is no doubt about that
and the faith that we both share
that pulls within our hearts
i couldn't turn around now
Still these wheels turn, this train it can't stand still
It keeps on rolling like I'm sure it always will
the circles spinning and its never gonna end
I pray you'll take the road that brings you back again
It takes two to build it up
And two to carry on
There is no doubt about that
and the faith that we both share
that pulls within our hearts
i couldn't turn around now
Every road I take goes the same way
Across the river, through the valley, it's the same
Where ever I may start, which ever road I choose
I take the road, that leads me back to you
I take the road, that leads me back to you
I take the road, that leads me back to you

The Power of Now
05:12
|
|||
|
Iv sabotaged ambition
iv pissed on my parade
iv never known my feelings
more than the traps they've laid.
And i have been seduced by
the sword of many words
they cut me like a thin slice
of very tender bird
And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around
my love has known no meaning
no closeness or no trust
i blow the very moment
that would have paved for us
a future of god willing
what ever it maybe
but rejected chances
they always passed by me
And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around
thank god you're still around
And now I'm looking backwards
so i can look ahead
to see the whys and were fores
the weaving and the thread
so i can see the story
upon this tapestry
where i have laid my life down
so you can be with me
And I'm grateful for the friendships
i may have won or lost
and I'm pulling into focus
the love and all its costs
And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around
And the power of now
was not just then
its not tomorrow
or remembering when
but to scoop up each second like snow from the ground
and smile with good fortune that you're still around
thank god you're still around

Angel

Carrying my bags
Checking in at two
walking to the lounge
waiting at the gate
watching on the screen
boarding time again
And Angel
I'll be with Angel
And Angel
Relaxing in my seat
kicking off my shoes
pulling up the quilt
rising through the clouds
into the friendly skies
and now your on my mind
Oh Angel
I think of Angel
And Angel
We're Sitting on this plane
all of us the same
I'm coming home to you
halfway round the world
I'm thinking of you now
and when this plane gets down
And Angel
ill be with Angel
And Angel
