1. _ Cut By Wire
The letter stopped in a minor key
A christmas card that you drew for me
Done by the hand that i knew so well
Disguised the message that you could not tell
I see you bent above your potter's wheel
The piece you've throwing is the piece you feel
The softest colour and an eye so true
For cups and bowls that are shaped like you
Chorus
You work in porcelain cut by wire
Now as ever lovers walk through fire
When we were breaking we made no sound
The pieces almost touching on the ground
And now your silence says there's someone there
She stands behind you as she strokes your hair
How does she hold you like a long lost friend
Or are you like me on your own again
And so i write you in a minor key
Wondering if there's something left for me
I'm only writing so that i can sleep
I never found another love as deep

2. _ Turning Away
Chorus
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On water we have walked like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked revealing wondrous wild
And in search for confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet through uncontrolled desire
Chorus
There's a well upon the hill from our ancient past
Where an age is standing still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And the carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
Chorus
On racherie they have worked with their island dreams
By lough cleggan they have nourished in the mountain streams
And in searching for acceptance
They have given it away
Only the children of our children
Know the price they had to pay

3. _ I Live Not Where I Love
O come all ye maids who live at a distance
Many's a mile from off your sway
Come and assist me this very moment
For to pass away some time
Singing sweetly and completely
Songs of pleasure and of love
For me heart is with him altogether
Though i live not where i love
When i sleep i dream about you
When i wake i take no rest
Every moment thinking on you
My heart o'er fixed in your breast
But although far distance
May be of assistance
If from my mind your love remove
For me heart is with him altogether
Though i live not where i love
All the world shall be of one religion
All living things shall cease to die
If ever i should prove false to my jewel
Or any way his love deny
Oh the world shall change
And be most strange
If from my mind your love remove
For me heart is with him altogether
Though i live not where i love
So farewell lad and farewell lassies
Now i think i've made my choice
I will away to yonder mountain
Where i think i hear his voice
And if he hollows i will follow
Around the world though it is so wide
For young thomas he did promise
I should be his lawful bride
Repeat first verse.

4. _ Moments
These are the moments that we love so well
Precious moments caught within a spell
All too soon our lives thay fade away
These are the moments that we wish would stay
If i had my life to live again
I would choose to be with you my friend
Time moves slowly and it goes so fast
And who knows how long the days will last
So cherish deep within you
The love you get today
Let the moment linger
Cause tomorrow steals that away
Yes tomorrow steals that away
These are the memories that we made so well
Lives like stories that we long to tell
When we're old with not too much to say
We'll have the memories that we made today
We'll have the memories that we made today

5. _ Dont Say Okay
I'm giving up on tv it's not making sense
Gotta trust ourselves it's the last line of defence
Spinning into space running out of time
Gathering together all the useful things we find
Chorus
So don't say okay and be half-hearted
I'm afraid that this feeling goes on
Sacrifice the world face a killing sun
You gotta get it all together it'll bring us all undone
We're running up hills that we already climbed
Over the top and falling down the other side
Chorus
The ghosts are at the window they're again tonight
Looking in on us so we have got to get it right
We've walking on their bones everywhere we go
Spirits in the wind and the memories in the stones
Chorus
How we gonna get the healing done?

6. _ Broken Wings
A tall tree turn and face the west
Oh we're running with the wind
A high clifftop we're waiting with the rest
For this journey to begin
Chorus
But these broken wings won't fly
These broken wings won't fly
These broken wings won't fly at all
And oh how we laugh but maybe we should crawl
And ask to be excused
We shout loudly, have answers to it all
Oh but we have been refused
Chorus
Girl child
You're dancing with the stream
Growing with the silver trees
Your young questions
You ask me what it means
Oh but i am not at ease

7. _ Message Of Love
Chorus
A message of love, right to your heart
Comes from above, to make a new start
To spark a new flame,
That will ring the world round
Playing destiny's game
And creating her sound in a message
Of love
Tell all your friends, our time is here
We're on our way, the message is clear
We're an act of creation, now
And forever
We're a river of nations
We're coming together in a message
Of love
Chorus
Spirits of love, spirits of life
Help us be strong, help us to do right
Here is our chance, to heal the old scars
Learn a new way to dance to the song of
The stars
With a message of love
Chorus
I hear the butterflies dreaming, in the
Shimmering air
I feel the power of life, a flowering
Fire everywhere
I sing the tree, and the dove the eagle,
Fox and the hare
The right to exist is our right, we
All share
It's a message of love
Chorus
When evening falls, focus your mind
When spirits call let your body unwind
And open your heart, and do it today
And do what is right, and do not delay
Because a message of love

8. _ Fields Of Gold
You'll remember me when the west winds move
Upon the fields of barley
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
As you walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
You'll can tell the sun in his jealous sky
As you lie in fields of gold
I never made a promise lightly
And there have been some that i've broken
But i swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made a promise lightly
And there have been some that i've broken
But i swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields or barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

9. _ Bless The Road
Remember when we walked on hills of heather
Singing weaving mystical rings
Now in a while my precious child
You wil unfurl your wings
And i'll have lost what i believed
Had promised everything
But before you go my friend, my kind companion
Listen to this song i sing
Then go in peace and grow in grace and goodness
Know that you have nothing to fear
And dry your eyes my little one
And let there be no tears
Send me a dream from away beyond
I promise i shall hear
Oh beautifull beloved soul companion
Thank you for those beautifull years
And heaven hold and watch your way forever
May your every dream com true
Forgive all wrong, always be strong
And do what you must do
You stand before this open door
And you must now go through
My precious friend, my own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you
My precious friend, myu own my sweet companion
Bless the road that carries you

10. _ Fall At Your Feet
I'm really close tonight
I feel like i'm moving inside him
Lying in the dark
I think that i'm beginning to know him
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
Chorus
And whenever i fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down one me
Whenever i touch your slow turning pain
Don't hide it from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
I hear them all moving inside you
You know - i'll be waiting when you call
Chorus
The finger of blame has turning upon itself
And i'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall, i fall

11. _ Big Trip To Portland
The day won't open it's eyes
The heavens above must be sick
I'm stood at the windows since five
All decked out for the trip
Hey hey i'm dying to meet with you
Hey hey i'm living to speak with you
Hey hey i'm waiting to meet you baby
Hey hey hey
Chorus
Big trip to portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to portland
My soul shall be healed
The master's out of my reach
He wanders around in the rain
Today is all that i seek
Today when i hold you again
Hey hey
Chorus
I take the prize i win the day
You say you love me all the way
I kill the pain that drags you down
You take us on from town to town
The sun's burning all thru' the day
It's doing the best it can do
I came with my bucket and spade
I came with the same things as you
Chorus
Big trip to portland
No more cooling my heels
Big trip to portland
My soul shall be healed

12. _ Speaking With The Angel
He don't know how to lie
Or undermine you
He don't know how to steal
How to deal or deceive
So leave him alone, set him free
Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see
You say he's so helpless
Well what about you
You don't pull the strings
Don't you know anything
Just leave him alone, let him be
Cause he's speaking with the angel
That only he can see
Would you teach him about heaven
Would you show him how to love the earth
Would you poison him with prejudice
From the moment of his birth
He in the name of love
He in the blood of the lamb
He that never lays blame
He don't even know his name
Just leave him alone, let him be
Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
The very one that spoke to you and me
Oh do you remember?
