"Captured Angel"

"Captured Angel"


Found your heart
And lost your lover
Lick your wounds
And run for cover.

Take your time
There'll be another
And don't make the same mistake twice
Unless you can pay the price.

All the years
You spent in growing
End up one more
Line you're towing
Don't look know
Your age is showing
And its much too late
To turn back
You better pull in the slack.

Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now...
Fly now, fly now
While your wings are still young
Your cage door's been flung
Wide open...
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place beside me
If you ever need it.

Sold your dreams
For sweet salvation
Left with righteous indignation
Now it seems that you face starvation
And nourishment doesn't come cheap
You better go back to sleep.

Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now...
Fly now, fly now
While your wings are still young
Your cage door's been flung
Wide open...
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place beside me
If you ever need it.

"Changing Horses"

"Changing Horses"


Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old
Oh, gets you old.

Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see
Takes you places you don't know
Search for someone you can't ever hope to be
And still you go
Oh, still you go.

Don't you think it's kind of sad to say,
Don't you think it's gonna change?
Makes you think you'll have to stay inside
For a while.

Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old.

"Christ The King"

"Christ The King"


Christ the King, born in a manger
Christ the King is born on this day
All of nature joins the rejoicing
Banish misfortune away
Banish misfortune away

Lift your voice, join in the singing
Lift your voice in a song of goodwill
Lift your heart to the glorious season
Bid all your sorrows be still
Bid all your sorrows be still
[Repeat First Verse]

"Come To The Harbor"

"Come To The Harbor"


Come to the harbor and dance with me, girl
Dance by the edge of the sea
The moon will be rising
The tide will be high
Oh, come let your fancy run free

Come to the harbor
And kick up your heels
Let’s dance ‘til the break of the dawn
The fiddlers will play us their jigs and their reels
The summer so soon will be gone

Come to the harbor and lay with me, girl
I sail with the turn of the tide
Come to the harbor and stay with me, girl
The sea is so deep and so wide

[repeat 1st verse]

"Comes And Goes"

"Comes And Goes"


The woman's like the night
She comes and goes
She breaks my heart each day
And never knows,
And the time I spend in sorrow
Will match the time I live
And the time that's left is
All I have to give.

The woman's like an ivy on a pole
She wraps her twisted love around my soul
There will come a sudden winter
When she'll seek the warmth of day
And there'll come a time when she will come to stay.

The woman's like the tide
She comes and goes
She knows the things that I can just suppose.
And the time I spend in sorrow
Will match the time that she laughs
And the songs I sing cannot explain but half.

"Crow"

"Crow"


Somewhere on a lonely muddy country road
I heard your song, crow, for the first time.
Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low
Made me feel as I was running from a crime.
Made me feel as I was running from a crime.

Some say she died of drowning in the river deep
Some say she died of a sudden start
Some say they found her swinging from my old man's tree
And some folks say she died of a broken heart.
And some folks say she died of a broken heart.

I can't believe they would pay men just to hunt me down
But silver coins to each one do they give
And by now there's a gallows standing in the town
And I wonder how much more I have to live
And I wonder how much more I have to live.

Somewhere on a lonely muddy country road
I heard your song, crow, for the last time.
Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low
Made me feel as I was running from a crime
Made me feel as I was running...
from a crime.

"Dancing Shoes"

"Dancing Shoes"


Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside
Saw it all as we performed
our pirouette
Fleshes fused
As the flicker of the candles
Threw upon the wall a
single silhouette.

Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma téte

Dancing shoes
We have loved on distant beaches
Where the winter never reaches
There we fell
Dying swan
On the dawn you danced before me
Though your eyes were dark and stormy
I stood still.

Qui peut dire le faux et le réel?

Dancing shoes
Though the distances divide us
There's a paradise inside us
We can't lose.
Me and you
Dance a 'pas de deux'
Forever
And I pray you never
Shed your dancing shoes.

"Days To Come"

"Days To Come"


Tell me true do you still believe the prophets
That you found among the clouds of youthful skies
Broken dreams line your face like stormy weather
But you can’t stay dry forever in the rain

The truth should now be plain
You can’t go back again

Living through what you used to call romantic
Now your voice betrays the panic in your eyes
Love at last but you still can’t seem to buy it
Now you’re caught between the quiet and the cries

Oh, tears and hopeful lies
Make a sad disguise

All your life you’ve been chasing some uncertain
Now you find yourself deserting all you know
Though it feels like this chill won’t leave you ever
You know you can’t stay cold forever in the sun

Oh, raise your head and run, run, run
Through the Days To Come

"Diamonds To Dust"

"Diamonds To Dust"


Diamonds to Dust
Oh, Diamonds to Dust
Time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust

Love is a question
That few understand
It runs like a river
Between a woman and man
But its course can get twisted
And its bed can run dry
And our hearts become deserts
In the wink of an eye

Once there was love here
And once there was trust
Once it was honest
And open and just
Our love was a diamond
That grew between us
But time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust

[Chorus:]
Diamonds to Dust
Oh, Diamonds to Dust
Time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
Time is a teacher
It’s kind and it’s cruel
It gives you the wisdom
To see you’re a fool
And it gives love and takes love
It hurts and it heals
And it never parts easy
With the truth it reveals

[Chorus]

Down the road
Down the road
Got a little pretty girl, Down the Road
Down the road
