Only The Moon
03:32
|

Only the moon can hear me
Singing my lonesome songs
Only a train accepts my notion
To kiss the wind and be gone
Oh, we’ve tried to make amends
But love is often blind
It seems our day is done
Leaving us behind
And only the moon is mine
Only the rain is weeping
To every drop I am tied
Only the sorrow within a soul
Will watch them fade and die
Oh, we’ve tried to make amends
But love is often blind
It seems our day is done
Leaving us behind
And only the moon is mine

Everlasting Love
03:55

Take me to the edge of everlasting love
Where I might fall in like a mind-numbing drug
Oh, I want the sky to feel when I’m high
Falling for you my love
Take me there, everlasting love
Oh, take me there so I can fall in
Take me there, everlasting peace
Oh, take me there so I can fall in
Take me to the edge of love
Take me to the edge of everlasting peace
Glancing from the porch to the great open sea
With you by my side and the world behind
Falling for you my love
Take me there, everlasting love
Oh, take me there so I can fall in
Take me there, everlasting peace
Oh, take me there so I can fall in
Take me to the edge of love

Eternal Maze
02:35
|
|||
|
Is the road I travel on the right one to ride
I search for a friend but there’s no one I find
The sky begins to tremble as the sun goes low
And the road is very long and the night is so cold
Many have said to take a certain path
Through many twist and turns I forgot my way back
Oh Lord can you hear the source of my fear
I’m lost on your trail for what feels like years
My heart calls loud like a drum inside of me
Saying brother don’t be scared, only be free
Be one with the wind, the dirt and the waves
And find yourself an exit from the eternal maze
Oh friend I’m not sure if I’ll ever be home
We fall into this world and we fall out alone
The direction I’m headed even I cannot tell
And wander I will, so long and farewell

While on a train headed west I look to the frozen towns
Oh, the wind she weeps so lonesome and the rails are grinding loud
Your eyes saw sorrow in mine
When I left that morning with heartache and trouble on my mind
Rest well in the blue night
Oh, the deep blue night is thick with the pain that runs sharp
Oh, the wind took my dreams and left a crippled heart
Forgive my lousy moods
Miles away on a train trying to make it through the snow and to you
Rest well in the blue night
By the grace of good fortune, my love, I’ll come
Fare thee well winds of winter I must be moving on
To mend your crying eyes
Until then I’ll watch the lonely sun come up on the rise

The Road
03:40
|
|||
|
The road curves to the trees
I listen for a voice in the wind’s breeze
I know you’re whispering
Oh, Lord please tell me your meaning
And so, I am nothing
Worthy of you
The road never ending
Leads to the truth
And all I want is you, a ghost, to reach for me
I hold my jacket closed
As the soaking night swallows me whole
I’m lost in the forest
Searching for a sound of deliverance
So, I am nothing
Worthy of you
The road never ending
Leads to the truth

Ida
04:33

Ida you were singing when I was young
Arthur would be drinking while the radio was on
Oh, Ida I remember the days that are now gone
You’d wave to me from the balcony in the evening sun
Ida please walk through the door
For I can’t recognize the world anymore
Ida stay don’t fade away
A tombstone won’t replace your soul today
Ida you were shivering when Arthur passed away
You survived a war but not love’s decay
Oh, Ida now we stand here on the gravest day
Again the sound of shovelled ground crashes where you lay
Ida please walk through the door
For I can’t recognize the world anymore
Ida stay don’t fade away
A tombstone won’t replace your soul today
Ida please walk through the door
For I can’t recognize the world anymore
Ida stay don’t fade away
A tombstone won’t replace your soul today, today

Swept by a Harsh Wind
03:22
|

|
Bartender pour me a drink
Tonight has me on the brink
Well, you see, I may lose someone I adore
I’m selling my sorry heart
Longing is much too sharp
And it rips and tears when I see those green eyes
Darling, grown so very old
Swept by a harsh wind’s blow
Empty is this home
I fell down by the door
Not a soul who’ll miss you more
Swept by a harsh wind’s blow
Bartender pour one more
I watch you through the glass
You’re the loveliest cat in the grass
Smelling the rain as the wind begins to cry
Darling, grown so very old
Swept by a harsh wind’s blow
Empty is this home
I fell down by the door
Not a soul who’ll miss you more
Swept by a harsh wind’s blow

Visceral
04:30

Walk where I walk
Sleep where I sleep
Let’s take the world it’s ours to keep
There’s a flame burning all these years, my love
Stay with me till’ morning comes
I’ll laugh when you laugh
I’ll cry when you cry
Let’s see the fair I got tickets like old times
There’s a flame burning all these years, my love
Stay with me ‘til morning comes
Such a long road still to travel
Chasing dreams as we both unravel
Was it whisky?
Oh, it’s mystical
That our love is visceral
Age as I age
Dream the same dreams
Let’s move up north and sail upstream
There’s a flame burning all these years, my love
Stay with me ‘til morning comes
Such a long road still to travel
Chasing dreams as we both unravel
Was it whisky?
Oh, its mystical
That our love is visceral

The Tide
03:11
|
|||
|
I walked along the ocean
A stranger to myself
The water was so boundless
Into it I fell
Oh, why must I fight
I should let the tide take me tonight
Take me tonight
I never knew my face
My skin never shed
I was a moth in lamplight
Trapped and misled
But who am I now?
Will I breathe the air or will I drown?
Or will I drown?
Upon the sands I crawled
Stared to the moon
I screamed into my palms
And I broke from my cocoon
Oh, where will I go?
To the glowing arms of the one I love
Of the one I love
You see I am an alien
Dripping from the waves
An outsider of conquest
Shattered by his rage
But who calls my name
In the deepest night, in the coldest rain

Flowers In Your Arms
03:16
|
|||
|
I can hear the winds wail
Calling me to the road
Tell me softly if I should go
These travelling dreams are growing old
My mind is gone I’ve lost my way
I’ve given my soul to the song
This old guitar tells my tale
Beneath my feet the road is long
The rain is falling and I’ll be gone
Trying to numb this sorrow
With cheap wine and restlessness
I long for your arms come tomorrow
When I return from dirty bars
Lonesome and filled with despair
Will I see you standing there
With flowers in your arms and in your hair
