behind us nowCherry Fair : 2016

Over The Sea

Grief at the harbour
Reflections behind us now
The city and all the noise
Sparkle brightly
Behind us now

There are things
I can't bear
To think about
You told me
About the layer
And who is accepted there

We climb up for rescue
To turn a new leaf
But it's still there
Gotta find my way across the border
Over the sea

Going home
Oh yeah
Not alone
Over the sea
Going home
Sweet home

Beautiful Jane

Beautiful Jane
Beautiful to me
Beautiful to me

On an island
On an island in the rain
Beautiful Jane

She put her hand so high
To the man in the sky
Why can't I stay
On an island in the rain
Beautiful Jane

Walk a long long lonely road
Walk a long long lonely road

She put her life on the line
I didn't know at the time
That I love her
On an island in the rain
Beautiful Jane
Beautiful Jane Jane
Beautiful Jane

Calgary Bay

Over Calgary Bay
Your soul is home
And in the January Sky
A spirit is free
But I'm invisible to you
Somehow

And your family don't know
Your friends can't see
What your life means to me
Deep inside

I wish you could call out to me
In the cool blue light
Of the night

And i worship the ground
That you walk upon
And I love every sound
Every turn of phrase
These echoes reach me
over the bay

Please sing your song
In the cool blue light
Of the night

Looking Loving

Looking loving in the morning
At the start of a brand new day
Gulls flying across the water
I'll take a boat to the Isle of May

And who knows what the day will bring
When the night melts away
And who knows what the river will say
When the snow goes away

Looking Loving in morning
As the sleep falls from your eyes
Is it worthwhile what you're doing
If it takes all your time away

Men of steel
Women of song
Building castles
Build them strong

Its time to get up and go now
Time to get up and break away
Time to get up and go now
Time to get up and break away
Away
Away

River of no Return

I'm falling down
Down my road
Not moving on
I've been holding on
Lonely town
I'm drifting down
The river of no return
No return
No return
The river of no return

And I won't know where you are
how near or how far
I'm moving on by
Oh and I
Struggle to say goodbye

I'm going down
Down this road
Ive been here before
I know this place
Lonely town
I'll wait for you
For eternity
Eternity
For your beauty
Eternity

And I won't know where you are
How near or how far
Thank you for your love
For the days that we had

Crying

Crying
Crying
I've had enough of crying
Had enough of crying
Crying over losing the way

Lonely
Lonely
I don't do lonely
Lonely
Not lonely

Crying over losing the way
The way

Hide Love

Hey slow river flow
As I lie down
Hold back your time

Close the door
When the hurt is inside
And then you find
The cars go by without a sound

Hide love
Hide love
Hide love
Hide your love

Closing time
Closing minds
When you're stuck at a crossroads in a lonely place
And the desert blows across your face
And love is close to hate that late
One day


Hide love
Hide love
Because we had love
Sweet love

The Land

River man
Do the best that you can
In your room
Watching the moon
Feel the breeze
In the summer trees

The corn is high
Where the swallows fly
Write your book
Why does nobody look
To the city
With eyes of pity

Come and go
And nobody knows you
The world you found
Is such a long way down
A world of glass
And hopeless symmetry
Crazy hungry lonely
Looking for love

River man
Why did you sing of the land
With words so kind
Haunting me
I am the man
You would never be

Lonely hungry crying
Like a wolf
Crazy running lonely
For the  truth

Winter Lights A Fire

I love your face
I need your grace
i love the warmth
Of your embrace
But I'm a lonely man
I do the best that I can
I'm a lonely man

Well it's been a while
Without your smile
It's been too long
And i know I'm wrong
And these are crazy times
On shifting sands
I need to find
Bright times sublime

With my head in the clouds I look in love
A beautiful view but it don't mean a thing
When it's easy to give
Much harder to take
 
And the Summer
Nights are long
Missing you
All night long

Well I walked on by
The riverside
I heard you sing
Your lullaby
But I was dreaming then
Like I'm dreaming now
And your lullaby
Was a long goodbye


With my head in the clouds I look in love
A beautiful view but it don't mean a thing

And Winter lights a fire
A fire
In my soul

The Endless Fells

Just the wind I guess
The hills and the sky
No one came here today
No one came down the lane

Don't fall too fast
Don't cry inside
I'll bring out the letters the words of praise
Everything given
Sacrifice made

I walked with you over the endless fells
Just a little bit further then we'll see the view
I saw the snowfall at night on the mountain side
We opened the window and we looked outside
I looked into the bluest eyes
I saw the loneliness inside
And in the night I heard the curlew cry
I saw your house and I saw the light inside

I looked in through the window pane
I saw the loneliness again
I walked with you in paradise
It was beautiful
