"Cold Moments"

"Cold Moments"



In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to come
Oh she's the one.

Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out of the rain
She caused me such pain
But she's got me so...
Lord, that girl drives me insane.

In that far off distance
I can see the lights of town
It sure bring me down
No, I miss them so
Lord, I can't stay here no more.

Waiting for the dice to roll
Where I'm heading; I don't know
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
I just hate to move on

From these cold, cold moments
Cold, cold moments.

Getting time to get on board
Green Line coach take me somewhere warm
Don't look like she's gonna show
Where I'm heading, I don't know
I don't know

Sha la la la, Sha la la
Sha la la la, Sha la la
Sha la la la, Sha la la

In those cold, cold moments
Waiting for that girl to call
Oh, she's the one

Got my hands deep in my pockets
Trying to keep out of the rain
Hmm, she caused me such pain

Oh, she's got me so...
Lord, that girl drives me insane.

Yes, that's got me so...
I just got to let it go

From these cold, cold moments
From these cold, cold moments

"Come On / Let's Go"

"Come On / Let's Go"



You have never been there
Till you've heard the fat girl sing
Then nothing else matters
Everything just pales with in

Hanging round the corners
Shouting at the top of your voice
Sing you little fuckers
Sing like you got no choice

I believe it's true
We are everywhere
And I feel the wind
And it feels so high

There really is no purpose
Definitely is no need
To go running round the houses
Like a racehorse on speed

I believe again
We are everything
And I feel the wind
And it gets so high

Come on
Baby let's go
Oo come on
Baby let's go

You say where to
I say I don't know
I just need to run
And you need it too
And I catch your eye
And I feel the wind
And it feels so high

We're planting up the acorns
Wondering to where they'll lead
We're planting up the acorns
Wondering to where they'll seed

Come on
Baby let's go
Yeah come on
Baby let's go

You say where to
I say I don't know

"Country"

"Country"



I know a place not far from here
Where lifes sweet perfume fills the air
And if you want I'll take you there
If you want I'll take you there

Into the light out of the dark
Where only love can heal your heart
And if you want I'll make a start
If you want I'll make a start

This place I say - half hour away
Is that so far to go - so near
And further on we'll find the time
And lose the discontent we feel - that we feel

I feel the time we've yet to reach
Is not within our own belief
But I feel sure that time'll come
If it goes on at all, said - if it goes on at all, whoa - if it goes on at all,
Hey - it goes on and on and on and on

I know a place not far from here
Where fresh cut grass will fill your hair
And if you want we'll lay a while there
If you want we'll lay a while there
If you want we'll lay a while there.

"Don't Make Promises"
(originally by Tim Hardin)

"Don't Make Promises"
(originally by Tim Hardin)



It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow,
Tunes of promises that we can't keep.
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying

Don't make promises you can't keep.
Don't make promises you can't keep.

We had a chance to find it,
Our time was now or never,
You promised me things that I need.
And then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying.

Don't make promises you can't keep

"Down In The Seine"

"Down In The Seine"



Catch me I'm falling so fast and I can't seem to find
All the reasons I had when the purpose was mine
Now I stumble so fast rolling into the night
Kiss me quick before I land and am broken in two
Keep me on the right track, hold my dreams intact too -
I get lost in this place - I get lost, yes its true

In the waters I sink - In the waters I drink
Til I rise to the top - Which in truth is not
It's the same as below - We can put on a show
To make you feel you're alright - To make you feel there's no fight

Help me I'm sinking so fast into waters unplanned
That I once held onto but have got out of hand
Now the things that I loved are the things I can't stand
Squeeze me slow before I come to that part of the ground
It's a million miles up and a million miles down
I get lost in between and I wait to be found

In the waters I sink - In the waters I drink
Til I rise to the top - Which in truth is not
It's the same as below - We can put on a show
To make you feel alright - To make you feel there's no fight

Catch me I'm falling so fast
Catch me I'm falling so fast
Catch me I'm falling so fast

"Dragonfly"

"Dragonfly"



She's like a dragonfly with no fire
Diaphanous with no intent
Earthbound

She's like a horse with no rider
All this space
Without the chase
Or choosing

She's like a sea with no waves
All adrift
Upon a ship
Nowhere

Dance in the light of the silvery moon
Laugh at the life that's inside of you
Sending shadows under the trees
Bow to the wind whose voice you speak

She's in a world with no people
So much scope
Without the hope
Or reason

She's like a dragonfly with no fire
Diaphanous with no intent
Earthbound

"Drifters"

"Drifters"



I'll always find my way back home
Through back streets dull and bright
In the shadows I hear your voice

It calls me on
I can't get lost
It calls me on

To catch my breath
I lean against a wall
The wall feels warm
From the late afternoon sun
Even drifters stop sometimes
If only for the world to catch up

You call me on
I can't get lost
It calls me on
I can't get lost
It calls me on

I fell asleep in that same bus shelter
The dappled light broke my slumber
Even drifters sleep sometimes
If only for their dreams to awake

It calls me on
I can't get lost
It calls me on
I can't get lost
It calls me on

"Driving Nowhere"

"Driving Nowhere"



Driving nowhere - going no place
I'm just drifting - I've got low faith
I'm just waiting for a tide
To take me nowhere - along for a ride
Pleasure sifting - can you keep it
And as I'm drifting - it's hard to feel it
I feel I'm floating in a time
Driving nowhere - along for a ride

I've nowhere to be - only leave some miles behind
And within me I see, there's places I've yet to find

Driving nowhere - going no place
I get restless - I'm still curious
And I'm just waiting for a tide
To take me nowhere - along for a ride
I'm driving nowhere

"Dust And Rocks"

"Dust And Rocks"



Well she's waiting, by the window
With a fading tear
That will slip in to tomorrow
And have no fear.

She may look back and blame you
But you only blame yourself,
And what good would it all do you
If you thought she blamed herself-

It's a lonely life, as bits of dust and rocks
When you shake it off - it's all you have

In the time it takes, to find another space
Get to live again - she'll run and run
Still she's waiting, by the window - with a fading tear.

Well she looks upon, high - flying silver dream-
How she wishes how
She could climb aboard, never coming back
Turn on it all
Still she's waiting, by the window
She has no fear.

"Early Morning Rain"
(originally by Gordon Lightfoot)

"Early Morning Rain"
(originally by Gordon Lightfoot)



This is the one

In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home
Lord, I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

Out on runway number nine
Seven-O-seven set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground
Where the cold wind blows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She'll be rolling down at last

Hear the mighty engines roar

See the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the morning rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time

So the airports got me down
It's no earthly good to me
'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground
Bored and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way
In the early morning rain
