"What Child Is This?"

"What Child Is This?"


What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him Lord
The Babe, the Son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrth
Come peasant, king, to own Him
The King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him Lord
The Babe, the Son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him Lord
The Babe, the Son of Mary

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him Lord
The Babe, the Son of Mary

"Wheel Rolling"

"Wheel Rolling"


If you will remember this
You are a wheel rolling
You will always find your bliss
You are a wheel rolling

You will be a lion walking
You are a wheel rolling
And the lion meets the dragon
You are a wheel rolling

Kill the demon on the road
You are a wheel rolling
Turn yourself into a child
You are a wheel rolling

Search the heavens for a sign
From the center of the world
Justice is not ever blind
Rolling like a cloud unfurled

If you really had compassion
You are a wheel rolling
You would cry and never cease
You are a wheel rolling

If you look for inspiration
You are a wheel rolling
In this world there is no peace
You are a wheel rolling

You will seek to find nirvana
You are a wheel rolling
Where no pain or sorrow reaches
You are a wheel rolling

You must slay the dragon now
You are a wheel rolling
You are dragon, child and lion
You are a wheel rolling

If you look to find the world
You are a wheel rolling
Look no further than yourself
You are a wheel rolling

Search the heavens for a sign
From the center of the world
Justice is not ever blind
Rolling like a cloud unfurled

If you seek to kill the devil
(You are a wheel rolling)
Every act is good and evil
(You are a wheel rolling)

Even devils work for God
(You are a wheel rolling)
Even evil turns to good
(You are a wheel rolling)

Search the heavens for a sign
From the center of the world
Justice is not ever blind
Rolling like a cloud unfurled

You will see a cloud of fire
(you are a wheel rolling)
And your spirit burning higher
(You are a wheel rolling)

Flames of brilliant orange and red
(You are a wheel rolling)
Dying lives and living dead
(You are a wheel rolling)

Or you will see nothing there
(You are a wheel rolling)
As you float in crystal air
(You are a wheel rolling)

Meet the dragon in the trees
(You are a wheel rolling)
He will bring you to your knees
(You are a wheel rolling)

Search the heavens for a sign
From the center of the world
Justice is not ever blind
Rolling like a cloud unfurled

If you will remember this
(You are a wheel rolling)
You will always find your bliss
(You are a wheel rolling)

You will be a lion walking
(You are a wheel rolling)
And the lion meets the dragon
(You are a wheel rolling)

Kill the demon on the road
(You are a wheel rolling)
Turn yourself into a child
(You are a wheel rolling)

Search the heavens for a sign
(You are a wheel rolling)
Rolling from the center of you
(You are a wheel rolling)

Justice is not ever blind
(You are a wheel rolling)
Rolling like clouds unfurled
(You are a wheel rolling)

"When I Am Sixty Four"
(originally by The Beatles)

"When I Am Sixty Four"
(originally by The Beatles)



When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm eighty-four?

"When I Go"
(feat. Willie Nelson)

"When I Go"
(feat. Willie Nelson)



Come, lonely hunter, chieftain and king, I will fly like the falcon when I go
Bear me my brother under your wing, I will strike fell like lightnin' when I go

I will bellow like the thunder drum, invoke the storm of war
A twistin' pillar spun of dust and blood up from the prairie floor
I will sweep the foe before me like a gale out on the snow
And the wind will long recount the story, reverence and glory, when I go

Spring, spirit dancer, nimble and thin, I will leap like coyote when I go
Tireless entrancer, lend me your skin, I will run like the gray wolf when I go

I will climb the rise at daybreak, I will kiss the sky at noon
Raise my yearnin' voice at midnight to my mother in the moon
I will make the lay of long defeat and draw the chorus slow
I'll send this message down the wire and hope that someone wise is listenin' when I go

And when the sun comes trumpets from his red house in the east
He will find a standin' stone where long I chanted my release
He will send his mornin' messenger to strike the hammer blow
And I will crumble down uncountable in showers of crimson rubies when I go

Sigh, mournful sister, whisper and turn, I will rattle like dry leaves when I go
Stand in the mist where my fire used to burn, I will camp on the night breeze when I go

And should you glimpse my wand'rin form out on the borderline
Between death and resurrection and the council of the pines
Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so
All your diamond tears will rise up and adorn the sky beside me when I go

Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so
All your diamond tears will rise up and adorn the sky beside me when I go

"When You Wish Upon A Star"

"When You Wish Upon A Star"


When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing

Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true

"When Your Eyes Close"
(with Puressence)

"When Your Eyes Close"
(with Puressence)



Far away and years ago
We were blind the dead had soul
Waiting here where you don't know

Razor clam's reverberate
What about the motorway?
I could beg before I could walk

But I want you to see what I still see
So lay it on me

If you see me when your eyes close
Oh no, well I won't let you down
If you see me when your eyes close
If you see me when your eyes close
I'll always be around

Nothing wants to live round here
Need you now but nature's cold
We were young when lead was gold

But I want you to see what I still see
So lay it on me

If you see me when your eyes close
Oh no, well I won't let you down
If you can't hear what I'm saying
Oh no, I'll always be around

So why don't you lay it on me

"Where Or When"

"Where Or When"


It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again

And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when

"Whispers In The Rain"

"Whispers In The Rain"


Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain

Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain

The war within our heart
Keeps us far apart
Is there nothing we can do
To find peace for me and you

Pray for love today
Drive the tears away
Wrap me in your arms
Could the future still be ours to have
Can we reach beyond the scars

Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain

Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain

Children of this world
Under every flag unfurled
Show them what they mean to you
Teach them to believe

Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain

Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain

Silence in the crowd
Everyone too proud
Who will answer for the lives
That are written in their eyes

Whispers in the rain
So quiet you can hardly hear the pain
Sons and daughters of us all
Listen to the call
In the whispers in the rain

Rain comes pouring down
And they cry without a sound
In Gods name have we all failed
Mothers veiled and then unveiled
Hear the whispers in the rain

"Who Knows Where The Time Goes"

"Who Knows Where The Time Goes"


Across the morning sky,
All the bird are leaving,
Ah, how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire,
We'll still be dreaming.
I do not count the time

Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Sad deserted shore,
Your fickle friends are leaving,
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go,
But I will still be here,
I have no thought of leaving.
I do not count the time

Who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

And I'm not alone,
While my love is near me,
And I know,it will be so,till it's time to go,
So come the storms of winter,
and then the birds in spring again.
I do not fear the time

Who knows how my love grows?
Who knows where the time goes?

La la la la la la......
Um um um um ........
Du du du du du.........
Ah ah ah ah ah......
Um um um um.......

"Wild Mountain Thyme"

"Wild Mountain Thyme"


Ohh, the summer time is coming
And the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms around the purple heather

Will you go? Laddie go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go? Laddie go

If my true love will not go
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather

Will you go? Laddie go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go? Laddie go
