Tidal Moon

Tidal moon brought daylight's death
To the waters where she set
In the harbour widows wept
For their sunken treasure chests
Ceaseless bounty, wild command
Ships of plenty lie in sand
Sleeping empty by her hand
While their sailors dream of land

Walking Shadow

Do you feel like a walking shadow
Of someone you thought you knew
Are you noting your age with sorrow
For the things that are coming true
Always running through my mind
Someday soon babe the bells are gonna chime
Do you feel like you're on the outside
When by now you should be in
Are you cursing your age with sorrow
Do you feel like you're wearing thin
Always running through my mind
Someday soon babe the bells are gonna chime
Always falling just behind
Someday soon babe the bells are gonna chine
I don't want to cry for youth
For all the lies blotted out all my truth
I don't want to cry for time
When crying's of little use
Always running through my mind
Someday soon babe the bells are gonna chime
Always falling just behind
Someday soon babe the bells are gonna chine

A true deceiver came up crying
Say no one will be deceived
And after all his years of trying
There's no tricks left up his sleeve
Don't wanna lie in my arms
Don't wanna lie in my arms
Just want to lay down in your bed
Don't wanna lie in my arms
Don't wanna lie in my arms
The true deceiver said
A true believer cam up crying
Say no one will be deceived
And after all her years of trying
There's no tricks left up her sleeve
She don't wanna lie in my arms
She don't wanna lie in my arms
Just wants to lay down in my bed
She don't wanna lie in my arms
She dint wanna lie in my arms
The true believer said

Ways To Cross A Mountain
01:44
|

You can go by the road or go by the river
Take a chance on the dance or live that she gives you
Give your money to the beggar or through it in the fountain
So many ways to try and cross a mountain
You can come as you go and leave as you want to
Treat the hills as your plate and the sky as a mirror
Cry for the days that go racing by you
Or try to make a mark on the ones not behind you
You can go by the road or go by the river
Take a chance on the dance or live that she gives you
Give your money to the beggar or through it in the fountain
So many ways to try and cross a mountain
You can go by the road or go by the river
You can go by the road or go by the river

Crooked Candle
01:45
|

|
Half sick of shadows
Rise as I fall
Crooked black candle
Burns by the wall
And moves overhead
In the hollows above
Shifting it's shape
And calling to us
Spirit in silence
Enters the room
Brought by my actions
Drawn from the moon
And moves overhead
In the hollows above
Shifting it's shape
And calling to us
To rise from our place
In rustic embrace
And go greet the night
In wild country light

What did you see
What did you see
When all was gone and the sky was wronged
What did you see
Saw a young girl out on the road
A pale horse at her side
Saw an old man toiling the earth 'neath a grey and smokey sky
Old man gonna toil the earth until the day he dies
What did you see
You candle handle what I see
In circles of stone
She sat all alone
Pointing west-ward as the sun went down
What did you see

Heathen Heart
02:03
|

I'm weary of mind and in need of some kind soul
A room for the night some place off of the road
Think i've seen your face before but that was oh so long ago
What price now your heathen heart
I'm weary of soul and in need of some good rest
A friend for the night and a chance to look my best
Think I've seen your bed before but that was oh so long ago
What price now your heathen heart
What price now your heathland hearth
I would give up all my trying and dreaming for you
To see your seas so green and your eyes so blue
What price now your heathen heart
What price now your heathland hearth
What price now your heathen heart
What price now your heathland hearth

Good Nights Dreaming
02:12

A good girl
A kind heart
A broad smile
On my part
A safe house
On a dark night
A warm bed
By fire light
Tell me if I'm dreaming
But don't you see it too
Was a good nights dreaming that I dreamt of you
A thatched roof
Green turf
Turned soil
In old earth
Warm breasts
Soft tongues
A wild book
Of wild songs
Tell me if I'm dreaming
But don't you see it too
Was a good nights dreaming that I dreamt of you
While the shadows keep on falling
I'll try to dream it true
Was a good nights dreaming that I dreamt of you

See as the move in over the water
The sun and his sons
The moon and her daughters
See how they move in over the corn
The view from the hill
At first light of morning
I am alive in ways yet unseen
The girl at the gate
The birth of my dreaming
The sun and his sons
The moon and her daughters
Work with our charts
And move across our waters

You who wonder wild and free
To the sound of willow trees
Say now, prey tell what you see
In your seeing stone for me
Send you to the river bed
Soak your bones and rest your head
Come the night all dressed in dark
I would try to tame your heart
You who hold the blood stained dove
True will be the earth to us
Say now, prey tell what you see
In your seeing stones for me
Send you to the river bed
Soak your bones and rest your head
Come the night all dressed in dark
I would try to tame your heart
