Today
When I wake up in the morning
The sunlight on your face
When I see you in the evening
Your sunset eyes light up the way
When the rain is falling
When cloudburst skies are overhead
You always hear me calling
And guide me home once again
Today
The bells are ringing out
Today
The angels sing out loud
Today
All these ties are bound
Today
All the world is calling
And all the stars are re-aligned
We step into the moment
Where everything is re-defined
When the dawn is rising
The morning sun is in the sky
The light shines bright upon you
You brought my world back to life
Today
The bells are ringing out
Today
The angels sing out loud
Today
All these ties are bound
Today
It’s All Over Now
She
She’s like the lightning strike
Striking out at anyone
That gets in her way
Here
She blames the driving rain
Time and again
She fails to see
That she
Is in love that’s lost
In an epilogue
She tries to erase
And I
I will not return
Never to learn
Her reasoning
Lay down
I don’t think
You’re the missing link
So turn around
I don’t believe
You’re quite that naive
It’s all over now
She
She’s pregnant with intent
Inverse the precedent
She’s all but there
And here
I’m steeped in sympathy
She walks with me
Out in the rain
And she
Is just a memory
Mistaken identity
Unrecognised
Strange;
The way that I escaped
Time and again
The game is unplayed
Break down
I don’t think
You’re the missing link
So turn around
I don’t believe
You’re quite that naive
It’s all over now
Skyview in Jasmine
Turning
Turn away
From the distances
You are when you’re away
Reaching
Reaching out
From the furthest place
You are now you’re coming back
There’s a skyview in Jasmine
As you’re walking down the hall
There’s a skyview in Jasmine
As you’re walking through the ward
Holding
Holding on
She’ll take you to the barrelhouse
She’ll take you down below
There’s a skyview in Jasmine
As you’re walking down the hall
There’s a skyview in Jasmine
As you’re walking through the ward
Silver Angel
The night goes on forever
Storm light fills the sky
And in this heavy weather
She’s standing by my side
And when the dark is crawling
Around the corners of my door
When shadows pierce the mainline
And hang up on the wall
Shine on silver angel
Fly on through the sky
Sail on through the memories
Fly into the light
When I have grown too weary
When the world is just too hard
I know she’s looking out for me
Though I know all things must pass
And in my final hour
When I have come to rest
I will look upon you
And we will laugh again
Until then
Shine on silver angel
Fly on through the sky
Sail on through the memories
Fly into the light
Blue Sky Back
White lines carved in the sky
We remain in the light
Deep in the summertime
We are the satellites
Time is flying by
Trying hard to unwind
We are staring at the night
While we fall into flight
Preying at night
Defying the time
Falling into line
Colouring the crime
Shivering at night
Bring the blue sky back again
Too soon the sun
I have been imagining
I have been and gone
We wait for the day
When nothing stands in the way
The watchmen are standing in the rain
Racing rainclouds home again
Curtains flutter in the wind
She is about to begin
She is staying in
She comes and goes again
She cannot sense it when
Seasons reach their end
But still she will pretend
Like summer is her friend
On whom she can depend
She’s crying out again
Bring the blue sky back again
Too soon the sun
I have been imagining
I have been and gone
Ride
We’re leaving in the morning
We drive down endless roads
We wait for sunrise
To shine out on the world
On the world
These familiar places
Painted by memory
This is another world
Opening up to me
And I’m spiralling
Spiralling
Let’s take that ride again
We’re standing on the sandbanks
Of an endless open beach
The sun-bleached day will resonate
Right out across the sea
Across the sea
The blue of noon reflected
In the mirror of the ocean wild
The love is carried here
Out on the open tide
And I’ll take that ride
Let’s take that ride again
Here
Down along the brightling beach
The cold January sun
We raced the waves and cast away
All the lives that we’d become
And in the field of falling leaves
Autumn red is everywhere
Wild is the winter wind
Our words hang in the air
And here,
The world slips away
To another place
We’re meant to be
And now
The time has come around
For the past
To take its final bow
Safe inside defining times
The afterglow of the night
We trace the end of familiar days
And hang onto the light
And here,
The world slips away
To another place
We’re meant to be
And now
The time has come around
For the past
To take its final bow
With You
I didn’t comprehend
I didn’t know
I didn’t understand
How these things go
I’d forgotten
Everything
How to live
How to believe
And when you came
I didn’t recognise
The way you turned
A light on inside
And through the darkness
That was here before
Illuminated by lightening
Standing on your shore
The moon shines on us now
Now the sun has come down over me
And where I stood
I’m standing with my back to the wood
With you
With you
Through all the storm light
Behind the clouds
You were the beacon
That tracked me down
I didn’t notice
I didn’t dream
The days weren’t made up
Of anything
I didn’t comprehend
I didn’t know
I didn’t understand
How these things go
The moon shines on us now
Now the sun has come down over me
And where I stood
I’m standing with my back to the wood
With you
With you
Harvest Moon
We going up to the hills
Believing everything
So this is how it feels
Seeing everything
We’re walking up through the fields
Where everything is real
It doesn’t take much to believe
That everything is here
As the day fades down
We are all that we knew
We are all standing
Beneath the harvest moon
Bring the lights down
So I can see the sky
The blue moonlit glow
Lighting up your eyes
We remain the same
Only people and places change
There is no longer here
Far is no longer near
As the day fades down
We are all that we knew
We are all standing
Beneath the harvest moon
