One Of These Days(Instrumental) |
A Pillow Of WindsA cloud of eiderdownDraws around me Softening the sound Sleepy time When I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low And the candle dies When night comes down You lock the door The book falls to the floor As darkness falls The waves roll by The seasons change The wind is wry Now wakes the hour Now sleeps the swan Behold a dream The dream is gone Green fields of cold rain Is falling in a golden dawn And deep beneath the ground The early morning sounds And I go down Sleepy time when I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low And I rise, like a bird In the haze When the first rays touch the sky And the night wings die |
FearlessYou say the hill's too steep to climbJust climb it You say you'd like to see me try Climbing You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb The hill in my own way Just wait a while for the right day And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds I look down Hear the sound of the things you said today Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd Smiling Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round Frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown? And go down in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow You look down Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd |
San TropezAs I reach for a peachSlide a rind down behind The sofa in San Tropez Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness Scratched by the sand That fell from my love Deep in my dreams And I still hear her callin' If you're alone I'll come home Backward and homebound The pigeon The dove Gone with the wind And the rain on the airplane Owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne Like a good tycoon Sooner than wait for A break in the weather I'll gather my far-flung Thoughts together Speeding away On the wind to a new day If you're alone I'll come home And I pause for a while By a country style And listen to the things they say Diggin' for gold With a hoe in my hand Open a book Take a look at the way things stand And you're leading me down To the place by the sea I hear your soft voice Calling to me Making a date for Later by phone And if you're alone I'll come home |
SeamusI was in the kitchenSeamus, that's the dog, was outside Well, I was in the kitchen Seamus, my old hound, was outside Well, the sun sinks slowly But my old hound done sat right down and cried |
EchoesOverhead the albatrossHangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's And something stirs and something tries And starts to climb toward the light Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand The best I can And no one calls us to the Lord And no one forces down our eyes And no one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun Regardless, everyday you form Upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall Comes streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning And no one sings me lulabyes And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky |
