Finally
I had lost the dream inside
I had not the eyes to see
Now a star is in the sky tonight
And a heart is calling me
chorus
I believe in love x3
Finally
Theres a dark electricity
There's a spark loose in the air
Does it take half a century
Not to break your heart to care?
Gone the years of silent running
And time spent living in the past
Now it's time to let the sun in
I've been saving the best til last
There's a voice fighting to be heard
Through the noise of day to day
And the sound of a magic word
Now has found me here to stay

Gather Me

Each step of the way - I'll be beside you
Each hour of the day - I smile upon you
Each step of the way - I'll be beside you
Each hour of the day - I smile upon you
When you fall when you fall - I'll lift you up and
Every wall every wall - I'm climbing with you
When you fall when you fall - I'll lift you up and
Every wall every wall - We're climbing to the sky
Sail on til midnight
Tomorrow's hindsight
Gather me round you
Feel my spirit flow into your heart
We'll never part
Inside your heart
It's just a start
Question the answers
Seize all your chances
Gather me round you
Feel my spirit flow into your mind
Let it unwind
Inside your mind
Cruel to be kind
Live every minute
Seize what's within it
Gather me round you
Feel my spirit flow into your soul
To reach your goal
Inside your soul
We'll make you whole
Climb to the sky and
Open your eyes and
Gather me round you
Feel your life flow back into your hands
Like grains of sand
Into your hands
You understand

Above My Head
Some might say I am deluded
Some might think me insincere
But I know just what I know and
What I hear is what I hear
chorus
Above my head
In my heart
Angel voices call to me
Above my head
In my heart
Angel voices comfort me
I remember smiling faces
And how they turned from joy to fear
How a sound came from the darkness
Far away but crystal clear
chorus
Ther e are days when life feels empty
When the journey seems too long
Then inside a golden whisper
Fills my soul and sings my song
chorus

Time Will Tell

Time Will Tell - lyrics Chris Conway & Jodi Krangle
Time will tell
Time keeps no secrets
Tells no lies
Turns all stonesIf I knew then
What I know now
I would have left you
On your own
chorus
One smile makes two
Two lies make twenty
Three wishes I made in a line
One was for you to love me
Two was to forget you
And three
Was for the passage of time
"Don't get too close
Keep your distance"
My defences
Tried to say
But with spider eyes
The spell is woven
And maybe I'll never
Get away
chorus
Did I miss a turning back down the road?
Were there warning signs pointing to today?
I ignored the voices, I could not be told
When they said it would
And that time would tell
We planted deep
In wishful thinking
And in fear
Of being alone
Time heeds well
The passing of moments
And we will reap
What they have sown.
chorus

Solstice Circle
We shall see the stones at solstice
At the rising of the sun
We will link to the love
And the spirit of everyone in the world
We will dance dance til morning
Til we're back where we've begun
We will look to the left hand
And our friends toward the right
We will trust in the Earth
And the stars that shine at night from the sky
We will know who we are
Beneath the early dawning light
Come away to the circle
Stay with me til the morning
Come away to the circle
Til the break of dawn
Well we don't know just where we're going
But we do know where we're from
But the spring it has come
And the winter is on the run like a wolf
When we gather here at solstice
We know where our hearts belong
Come away to the circle
Stay with me til the morning
Come away to the circle
Til the break of dawn

Don't Turn Away

Don't Turn Away
Don't turn away from me
Everything that you can see
We built together
So don't bring it down around us
Don't turn away from me
This is no way to be
We're lost in the darkness
So turn on the light
Don't let the sky fall down
Til some answers can be found
Don't let the sun go down
While we still hurt
Don't turn away from me
Everything that we can be
Is just around the corner
So talk to me now
You know I can read your face
I know that you need your space
I know we can't fix everything today
But if we start to talk we'll find away
I wont turn away from you
There's so much that we can do
So step back from the edge
The hardest step is always the first one
I wont turn away from you
Together we will see it through
So take my hand in yours
The hard part is done
Don't let the sky fall down
Til some answers can be found
Don't let the sun go down
While we still hurt
Don't turn away from us
Or what will become of us
There's a path out of the forest
So talk to me now
Have I told you I wanted you
Have I told you I needed you
Never has a day gone by when I
Haven't looked at you and felt a sigh
Don't turn away
Talk with me now
Don't turn away from me
Don't let the sky fall down

Damned
My friends all tell me
And maybe it's true
I spend too much time
And money on you
But depending on the weather
And on your point of view
I'm damned if I don't
And damned if I do
I'm feeling kind of heady
My brain's in a stew
I turn to the clouds
They haven't a clue
I don't know what I'm seeing
But I'm seeing it through, coz
I'm damned if I don't
And damned if I do
Gardens of Eden
To the left and to the right
Just out of reach
But not out of sight
And I'm afraid that the jury
Has retired for the night
So I'm damned if I'm wrong
And damned if I'm right
So decisions, decisions
What shall I do?
There's a fork in the river
There's a choice of two
But rather than dither
I think I'll stick along with you
Cos I'm damned if I don't
And damned if I do
Damned if I don't
And damned if I do if I do.

Flying
Through so many years,
Your worries and fears
I watched you, I watched you,
Waving goodbye.
Signals grew weak with time
And growing distance. Persistence.
We never stopped trying
And I listen,
And I learn
And I wonder
Paintings line the walls
From every chapter, and capture
With artists eyes
A shop in Venice selling masks
To strangers, whose faces
They need to disguise
And I listen,
And I learn
And I wonder
Oh how she loved the country
A last walk between the trees and the sky
Captured like a photograph
We could be flying
Through monochrome screens
And movie screens
The Lady Vanishes, the Spanish
Lessons once more
Empty halls and telephone calls
Til one day, one day
You found the door
And I listen,
And I learn
And I wonder

Life Road
When I was still just a child at play
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
I'd sing and sing through the live long day
Wont you walk with me a while?
I met a lass that I liked so well
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
She sang to me and she cast her spell
Wont you walk with me a while?
Well she made me laugh and she made me sigh
And I never thought to reason why
The moon had risen up in the sky
Wont you walk with me a while?
Two children came along by and by
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
And we'd sing together and laugh and cry
Wont you walk with me a while?
A beautiful girl and a bonnie wee boy
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
They gave me love and brought me joy
Wont you walk with me a while?
Though each one grew up bright and strong
After twenty years they were up and gone
But each had found their own true song
Wont you walk with me a while?
The years have flown and I'm singing still
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
Of Carrickfergus and Spancil Hill
Wont you walk with me a while?
When music calls me I have no choice
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
The spirit moves me and fires my voice
Wont you walk with me a while?
Songs and family fill my heart
And I'll never see them torn apart
Til I find myself back at the start
Wont you walk with me a while?
So we come to the journeys end
Wont you walk with me a mile or two?
I know you've always been my friend
Wont you walk with me a while?
We've come so far across this land
And there's still so much to understand
So if you'll kindly take my hand
Wont you walk with me a while?

Leaves
When I was a child
I watched the leaves in autumn
And saved them when I caught them
In a book so old and grey
Each leaf was a smile
A secret, sacred treasure
A reminder of the pleasure
Of a simple carefree day
New days soon come by
That bring with them new distractions
Persuasive attractions
Seem to beckon from the shelves
We all now know
All that glitters is not gold
But we're too clever to be told
And have to find out for ourselves
And the years flew by
And the years flew by
And the years flew by
Until today.
When out walking in the wind
A leaf blew over my head
A little voice inside me said
It must be caught before it lands
I jumped for it glee
And to my great surprise
I rediscovered things so wise
Only a child would understand

Sunrise
In the night when the skies are falling
And the light in the fire is calling
I can see a reflection in your eyes
Then I realise
The sun is rising
Though the storm in my head is blowing
There's a warmth in my heart that's growing
There's a balance between the world and my mind
There for me to find
The sun is rising
When the last of the wars have ended
And with our past on the shore befriended
With a wing and a prayer and a song
Though it took so long
The sun is rising
See the sunrise
The night is over
See the new day dawning
