"The Shelter Of Your Eyes"

"The Shelter Of Your Eyes"

In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally learned my song
It took so long to realize
I just can't make it all alone.

Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
And I'm so glad I found the way
It's good to be where I belong.

And I'm gonna stay right here
'Cause I'm in rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world and rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes.

Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
And I'm so glad I found the way
It's good to be where I belong.

And I'm gonna stay right here
'Cause I'm in rhythm with your mind
Tune out the world and rest my head
'Neath the shelter of your eyes.

"The Streets Of Baltimore"

"The Streets Of Baltimore"

I sold my farm to take my woman where she longed to be
I left my kin and my friends back there in Tennessee
I bought the one way tickets she had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Her heart was filled with laughter when she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night
A man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
And I tried of liked the streets of Baltimore

I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
I bought her this cottage in a neighborhood serene
And every night when I came home with every muscle sore
She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well, I tried hard to bring her back to where she used to be
But I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than me
Well, I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
Yes, my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

"The Three Bells"

"The Three Bells"

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Among the pine trees half forlorn
And there on a sunny morning
Little Jimmy Brown was born.

All the chapel bells were ringing
In the little valley town
And the song that they were singing
Was for baby Jimmy Brown
Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation
Bless this hour of meditation
Guide him with eternal love.

There's a village hidden deep in the valley
Beneath the mountains high above
And there, twenty years thereafter
Jimmy was to meet his love.

All the chapel bells were ringing,
Was a great day in his life
'Cause the songs that they were singing
'Twas for Jimmy and his wife
Then the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation
Bless oh Lord, this celebration
May their lives be filled with love.

From the village hidden deep in the valley
One rainy morning dark and gray
A soul winged it's way to heaven
Jimmy Brown had passed away.

Just a lonely bell was ringing
In the little valley town
'Twas farewell that it was singing
To our good old Jimmy Brown
And the little congregation
Prayed for guidance from above
Lead us not into temptation
May his soul find the salvation
Of thy great eternal love..

"The Town I Loved So Well"

"The Town I Loved So Well"

In my memory I will always see
The town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
Past the jail and down behind the fountain
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
In the town I loved so well

In the early morning the shirt factory horn
Called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mother's role,
Fed the children and then trained the dogs
And when times got tough there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
In the town I loved so well

There was music there in the Derry air
Like a language that we all could understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
And I played in a small pick-up band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I learned about life and I'd found a wife
In the town I loved so well

But when I returned how my eyes have burned
To see how a town could be brought to its knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
And the gas that hangs on to every tree
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
And the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and their guns, oh my God, what have they done
To the town I loved so well

Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
They will not forget but their hearts are set
On tomorrow and peace once again
For what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
In the town I loved so well

"The Way Dreams Are"

"The Way Dreams Are"

I could almost feel your breath
I was that close to you
I could have picked your pocket if I'd wanted to
It was all to good to be true, all to good to be true
I got that far, 'cause that's the way dreams are

I could hear a guitar playing some old romantic tune
You said why don't you stay and I said yes too soon
I was almost over the moon, almost over the moon
I got that far 'cause that's the way dreams are

Don't wanna wake up and find there's nobody, nobody waking with me
I wanna spend my time with somebody, somebody like, easy and free
I was almost there in your arms, almost there in your arms
I got that far 'cause that's the way dreams are

We made plans and we made love
We said what lovers say
Swore we'd do it all again another day
I could feel you slipping away, feel you slipping away
I got that far 'cause thats the way dreams are

"The Way Old Friends Do"

"The Way Old Friends Do"

Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do.

Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do.

You and I can share the silence
Finding comfort together
The way old friends do
And after fights and words of violence
We make up with each other
The way old friends do.

Times of joy and times of sorrow
We will always see it through
Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
We can face it together
The way old friends do.

We can face it together
The way old friends do...

"The Wedding Song"

"The Wedding Song"

You by my side, that's how I see us.
I close my eyes and I can see us.
We're on our way to say "I do".
My secret dreams have all come true.

I see the church, I see the people.
Your folks and mine, happy and smiling.
And I can hear sweet voices
Singing "Ave Maria".

Oh my love, my love, this can really be.
That some day you'll walk down the aisle with me.
Let it be, make it be that I'm the one for you.
I'd be yours all yours now and forever.

I see us now, your hand in my hand.
This is the hour, this is the moment.
And I can hear sweet voices singing
"Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria"

"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"

"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"

Kiss me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sigh
After you've loved me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

If you must go I won't grieve
If you just wait a life-time before you leave
If you must go I won't say "no"
Just so we can say that we tried

Tell me you love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

"There Goes My Everything"

"There Goes My Everything"

There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything.

I hear footsteps slowly walkin'
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly sayin'
"Darlin', this will be goodbye forever more."

There goes my reason for livin'
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything.

As my mem'ry turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
Now the love that kept this ol' heart beatin'
Has been shattered by the closin' of the door.

There goes my reason for livin'
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything.

There goes my only possesion.
There goes my everything...

"Things"

"Things"

Every night I sit here by my window (window)
Staring at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing (laughing)
Thinking about the things we used to do.

(Thinking about things) like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride (yeah, yeah)
What about the night we cried
Things like a lovers vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinking about the things we used to do.

Well, memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to (talking to)
When I'm not thinking of just how much I love you
I'm thinking about the things we used to do.

(Thinking about things) like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride (yeah, yeah)
What about the night we cried
Things like a lovers vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinking about the things we used to do.

I still can hear the jukebox softly playing
The face I see each day belongs to you
There's not a single sound
There's nobody else around
Just me thinking of things we used to do

(Thinking about things) like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride (yeah, yeah)
What about the night we cried
Things like a lovers vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinking about the things we used to do.

Well, I'm just thinking about the things we used to do.
Walking down the lonely avenue
Yes, I'm just thinking about the things we used to do...
