Angels in Mourning

angels in mourning
sending me warnings
telling me stories
speaking of glory
dressed in the dawning
angels in mourning
gathering roses
petals enclose us
under the garden
life finds a way
through the dirt and clay
into the light of day
angels in mourning
journeys returning
wisdom of knowing
searching unending
horizon calling
angels in mourning
deep in the ocean
spirits unbroken

Way Back Home
03:20
|

miles away from where i came
yet everything is exactly the same
i dont know what it is I set out to find
but sometimes i find myself thinking of a place i left behind
i ran away from home when i was five
and waited next door for my mum to arrive
now im all grown up and out here on my own
looking for someone to take my hand and lead me back home
home im coming home
ive been around this great old world
now im making my way back home
i lost my bags and all i owned
ive nothing to my name except my heart
i look up to the sky and try to find
that cross of stars so familiar to me that will guide me back home

The Shadow

here comes the springtime born out of winters release
days growing longer nights bring no relief
stars spin wither-shins 'bove my aching head
i close my eyes and count the colours yellow blue and red
remembering you in a town full of dust and gold
time has its claim but true beauty never grows old
you crossed your heart and now im drifting through a night so dark
these are the things you gave to me each one leaving its mark
you taught me honeymoon bridge under the ridge
'mong jonquils and daffodils
blossoms bloom under the moon
and i am the shadow inside your room
pluck all the petals and throw them into the wind
think of me then before i knew how to sin
years have passed but im still standing where the water runs wild and free
so close your eyes little darling and sometimes think of me

Come Sit by the Fire
04:30
|
|||
|
come sit by the fire
warm you through to bones
take this mug of ale through you
and dont be alone
watch the flames a flicker
uncurl from the wood
its the sun that we saw yesterday
returning for the good
sorrow is burning in my heart
tomorrow may it never start
i know of your sorrow
my wife three winters passed
dry your tired weeping eyes
the morrows coming fast
i live beyond the river
'mong the yellow-box tree
soon our shires shall meet
with burning iron pulled from the sea
sorrow is burning in my heart
tomorrow may it never start
go to him at dawning
place roses where he lay
we'll get the priest to ring the bells
to keep the ghosts away
come sit by the fire
keep yourself from cold
one thing we are certain of
is death comes to us all
sorrow is burning in my heart
tomorrow may it never start

Sweet and Strange
05:15
|
|||
|
have you ever seen the white lilies growing
down by the railroad track
they cut them down and covered with stones
but every year they grow back
how sweet how strange
have you ever heard the little wattlebird on the wind
whispering the answering your longing to hear
only for that feeling to disappear
before you had a chance to name it
how sweet how strange
mine is the river that comes down from the mountain
mine is the city and all its fountains
have you ever fallen to your knees
pleading with a sky so blue
the gentle breeze wakens and sends
a blanket of blossoms upon you
how sweet how strange
mine is the winter and the long dark hours
mine is the springtime and a myriad flowers
how sweet how strange

Love Again
03:48
|
|||
|
you always said it would come again
the sun rises and the river bends
for all that time my hearts filled with aching
soft is the sigh of dawn before breaking
sweet melody wrapped up in the shaking leaves
these walls are too thin
this body cant keep me in
oh love sweet love come again warm love
long has the rain fallen down my window
wait for the flame to break this shell and make the seed grow
mist hanging in the valley rise up float over trees
these walls are too thin
this body cant keep me in
oh love sweet love come again warm love

Unconditional Love
03:38
|
|||
|
there lies a woman among candle-bark
her round tummy raised to sky
her subtle movements shape the landscape
upon which i walk this night
soft afternoon rain left a forest of jewels
glistening under the moon
i lie my sorrow here in your embrace
your unconditional love sustains me
unconditional love
shining sun how bravely you go on
you wake me each morning you rise
you warm my face on this cold winters day
your unconditional love brings me back to life
unconditional love
giving unknowing
ever flowing
i know i can always return to your love
