Nowhere To Hide 04:38
lyrics
buy track
Trying hard to beat the odds But you gotta live with what the gods provide There’s nowhere to hide And where to rest your bones today? No easy way across this great divide There’s nowhere to hide Well some may say they take your part Then break your heart; they promised, but they lied And left you nowhere to hide They take their cut, they disappear Well I’m sorry but we’re not here for the ride We’ve got nowhere to hide Nowhere to Hide, No use reaching for the door Nowhere to Hide, since I decided what these eyes are for Sometimes they cried Oh how they cried There’s nowhere to hide So to those who play a crooked hand Believing they can conquer and divide I say there’s nowhere to hide ‘Cos our skin is thick, our hearts are big, and our heads are high We keep it dignified But you got nowhere to hide I thought by now we’d find a better way Thought we’d all lend a helping hand But all I’m seeing is a world of greed It isn’t quite what I had planned Not what I had planned Nowhere to Hide, No use reaching for the door Nowhere to Hide, since I decided what these eyes are for Well I see what you tried See what you denied I see you’re not on my side Not on my side And you got nowhere to hide

Little By Little 04:34
lyrics

You want to move it on but it hurts You want to take the pain away You’ve got no more tears left to cry You’ve both run out of words to say Ah, but you’re going to be fine one day. If you take it… Little by little, honey, step by step You’ve got somewhere to be You haven’t been there yet But the further you go together the closer you get So you keep moving on You might not think it now but it’s good To feel the weight of the past To feel the heft of the load that you’ll put down at last Ah, but it won’t go away too fast. It has to be... Little by little, honey, step by step You’ve got somewhere to be You haven’t been there yet But the further you go together the closer you get So you keep moving on You know the day will come If you keep moving on And if you walk a thousand miles, every step helps get it done And with eyes wide open you find This world’s not made of gold You see through the insincere smiles And the lies that you were sold Ah, but this world is better than you’ve been told - so take it... Little by little, honey, step by step You’ve got somewhere to be You haven’t been there yet But the further you go together the closer you get So you keep moving on

Tongue-tied 03:46
lyrics

Mary is the sweetest girl I know. I’d like to say I’m on her list But she barely knows that I exist I’m looking for a way to get through to her I’d call her if I had the nerve I’d get the chance that I deserve. Mary put your glad rags on We’ll go up town, we’ll have some fun Oh Mary we can dance the night away But Mary’s with those other guys in town It’s not fair how she shares it around Mary likes her friends to talk things through Guys like me I guess prefer To be quietly obsessed by her I never get to tell her how I feel You may think that talk is free Doesn’t seem that way to me. Mary send those friends away I rehearsed my lines I got things to say Mary I would tell it all to you. I’d like to tell you what pains you put me through But I’m tongue-tied and twisted by you Tell me, tell me why love’s so scary Why it seems so extraordinary I live in hope but it’s only rarely That I come close to my Mary, Mary Mary can’t you make the switch I tickle your fancy you scratch my itch Mary, Mary I would tell it all to you. I’m just trying to state my point of view But I’m tongue-tied and twisted by you

Flotsam And Jetsam 04:13
lyrics

We are flotsam We are jetsam On the ocean drifting free See that old wreck in the sunset? Empty silhouette, leave it be This is where we’re meant to be This is where we’re meant to be We are singing We are swaying We are rolling in the foam We are drifting to an island On that dry land we’ll find home This is where I long to be This is where I long to be Where the flow ends we’ll find old friends All the loved ones we cannot see They are flotsam They are jetsam On the ocean drifting free This is where they’re meant to be Hold them close and set them free

A Broad Thought From Home 04:16
lyrics
buy track
It’s the closing hour of yet another day The lights are low now, the people go And the landing lies with inviting eyes But the clock’s on wheels, soon it’s time to rise Oh the joys of living are well disguised or never meant to be How does it feel to be riding free Up in the blue where the angels used to be? Oh, I’m coming home Well I often dream of a far-off land And a girl I know from long ago Shields her eyes from the sun with the back of her hand Lives where empires fall, and music stands And the joys of living are on display for everyone to see How does it feel to be riding free Up in the blue where the angels used to be? Oh, I’m coming home Well she stands like a sun-clock with her hands in the sky Casting five o’clock shadows with a wink of her eye But the streetlamp’s lit and the sack is hit And you’re off to bed with a book instead And the world keeps turning The sandman comes to keep me company How does it feel to be riding free Up in the blue where the angels used to be? Oh, I’m coming home

Wrong Again 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Here we are after all of these years Dancing through time We go round round round and the world disappears But I know that I’m not a-lone When I say that to-day my heart spins like a wheel Over and over a-gain And I know this music is real ‘Cause you hear it too. And then We stand still and look at the stars Watch them colliding Their light rains down, lights up our scars No point in hiding them now These beautiful signs of shattering times Show us that we made it through And for all of the pain I would do it again I guess that it’s true that The world turns round And we all fall down Dizzy and dazed Simply amazed At coming this far No more words when there’s nothing to say But we keep con-versing We’ve no idea how we got in this play With no time for re-hearsing at all Reading beautiful lines, a passage of time That’s written all over your face After all of these years our story appears For my fingers to trace. Tell me please what is real No one sees what I feel Please make sense of my senses And re-veal there’s a meaning I’m not acting the fool I’m not trying to be cool But I find as a rule that my unruly mind prefers dreaming
