1. _ I'm A Dreamer
You make me nervous when i see you.
I can't imagine what it's like to be you.
It's a mystery to me every day,
And i've got to get away.
I put a bet on with a bookie
For the race they put on over in kentucky.
It's lovely at this time of year, so they say,
And i've got to get away.
Chorus
I'm a dreamer, and you know
I'm a schemer with an eye for a show.
It's my imagination when i get low,
And the truth is i don't think i'll ever go.
When the music's playing, that's when it changes,
And no longer do we seen like total strangers.
It's all those words which always get in the way
Of what you want to say.
When i wake up in the morning
I think it only fair to give you warning
I probably won't go away,
I'll more than likely stay.
(chorus)

2. _ Take Me Away
Such sweet love is so hard to find
Look around, these are troublesome times
The sun beats down on our hunger and thirst
It would soon all be over if we let it be worse
Chorus
Take me away, take me away
Take me away, take me away
If not for you how would i keep going
No one to be near, no good fortune to know
Take my hand, make me feel stronger
You're a man - progress is slow
(chorus)
There will be rain clouds, for harvest to grow
We'll find the rain clouds, and the rivers will flow
Leave what is past, search for the future
Leave this black dream for it's high time to go
(chorus)

3. _ All Our Days
We search for everything
Keeping what we would win
Orchids or tiny flowers
Wooden huts or ivory towers
Centuries or hours
Dark are the winter days
Holy in many ways
Vaults of time unshaken
Whilst as through them we are taken
Sleeping forests wake
Ice melts on the lake
Birds begin in making their way back home
The frost and the fire goes
East winds and winter snows
Sun upon the daffodils
Dancing on the verdant hills
Lambs in the fields
Warmer grows the morning sun
Days of youthfulness and fun
The prime of the year begun
The song of summer to be sung
Everything is one
Working day is done
Watch the river running through our lives
How slowly the colours change
We feel the drops of rain
Mists of evening rise again
We rarely stroll the shadowed lanes
As autumn night draws in
We sit upon the sand
Warmth draining from the land
Watching the ruby sun
Setting on the ocean
The echoes in the caves
The flame upon the waves
Memories for saving all our days

4. _ Gold Dust
This is the text on the rendezvous album:
If your eyes are blue you know the rest
Champagne if it's very cool
It's never very formal how you dress
For oysters by the swimming pool
Then slip away into the mountainside
Like the man in the lazy e'
It's great to have a place where you can hide
Why you must amazes me
Chorus
Golden,
Where are you?
Sold on gold dust
I shuttled all around america
From new york to los angeles
Nervous breakdown later, there we were
From liberty to redwood trees
A friend of mine, she hitched from east to west
In time to hear my final song
It seems to me she tried her very best
She is a good companion
(chorus)
He stores away the moments of her smiles
As if they were rare butterflies
Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles
Then barters for the merchandise
When life it drags the likes of me around
Just when we need some time alone
You have a simple mansion underground
Without address or telephone
(chorus)
The live version on the attic tracks vol. 3 and on gold dust - live at the royalty is a bit different. the last two lines of verse one are:
It's nice to have a place where you can hide
For why you must amazes me
And the last verse is:
He stores away the moments of her smiles
As if they were rare butterflies
Stalks his prey for miles and miles and miles
And barters for the merchandise
As time it drags the likes of me around
Just when we need some time alone
You have a private mansion underground
Without address or telephone

5. _ Full Moon
Everybody else has gone,
But you're still here with me.
All the world is sleeping by and by.
Through the windowpane
The frosted light is streaming in,
Full moon sailing high across the sky.
Tonight is like the night when we first met.
I always knew i never would forget you.
Come and hold me close,
I miss you more than i can say.
I can't remember how i pass the time (with you away),
Wondering if you'll ever know
How much you mean to me.
I never dreamed there'd be a change of mind.
Lover, this is where i want to stay.
Maybe it could always be this way.
I recall you said to me
A long, long time ago,
``don't you lose direction in the crowd (i think you could).''
But when i did you found me
And i didn't even know.
I hardly even knew you were around and understood.
I was reaching out each moment to be free.
You were all those things i'd never be.
Gentle music, rock away the sadnesses in me.
Rock away my lonely yesterdays,
Like pennies on the ocean
'til no trace of them i see,
'till moonlight shows no ripples on the waves.
And then the clear reflection will remain.
Perhaps the same reflection
Of that same full moon.

6. _ One Way Donkey Ride
There you may stand in your splendour and jewels
Swaying me in both directions.
One is the right one, the other for fools,
How do i make my selection?
The city lies silent in the warm morning light,
The sand is as golden as saffron.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
Someone is drowning down there in the flood
But this river will dry by tomorrow.
Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood,
Bringer of joy or of sorrow?
The end of the journey must soon be in sight,
Birth is the start of the swansong.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
No one is given the map to their dreams,
All we can do is to trace it.
See where we go to,
Know where we've been,
Build up the courage to face it
While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light
Roaming the land of the ancients.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight
Searching for trees in the forest.
Oasis of love, sweet water of life,
God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried.
God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride.

7. _ Candle In The Wind
Goodbye norma jean
Though i never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
Chorus
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And i would have liked to have known you
But i was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that marilyn was found in the nude
(chorus)
Goodbye norma jean
Though i never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye norma jean
From the young man in the twenty-second row
Who sees you as something more than just sexual
More than just our marilyn monroe
(chorus)

8. _ No More Sad Refrains
Here comes the morning how it pleases
It always brings me something new
Its golden light will wash away the dust of yesterday
If i try it may let me forget you
And when these winter days are over
I mean to set myself upon my feet
I see me as something that i have never been
And i'll pick up the pieces that will make the girl complete
I'll be smiling all the time at everybody
My friends will tell me i'm just not the same
I won't linger over any tragedies that were
And i won't be singing any more sad refrains

9. _ For Shame Of Doing Wrong
It seems like a lifetime since i saw you
Lover lover i've been away too long
When i see lovers holdings hands and sighing
I hang my head for shame of doing wrong
Bus wheels spinning, song birds singing break my heart
Take me back to old remembered days
Remind me of the times we spent together
Times before we went our separate ways
I wish i was a fool for you
I wish i was a fool for you
I wish i was a fool for you again
I'm sorry for the things i've said, the things i've done
I'm sorry for the restless thief i've been
Please don't make me pay for my deceiving heart
Just turn up your lamp and let me in
I wish i was a fool for you
I wish i was a fool for you ...
I wish i was a fool for you again

10. _ Silver Threads And Golden Needles
I don't want your lonely mansion, with a tear in every room
All i want's the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
But you think i should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And i dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glove of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money for i never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And i dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glove of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money for i never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
