"Carrying A Torch"

"Carrying A Torch"


I'm carrying a torch for you
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it costs
To keep carrying a torch

Flame of love it burns so bright
That is my desire
Keep on liftin' me, liftin' me up
Higher and higher

You're the keeper of the flame
Girl, you burn so bright
Baby, why don't we reconnect?
Move into the light

I've been going to and fro on this
And I'm still carrying a torch
You must know how much it's worth
But I'm carrying a torch

Baby, you're the keeper of the flame
And you burn so bright
Why, why, why, why, why, why
Why don't we reconnect
And move on further into the light?

I've been calling you on the phone
'Cause I'm carrying a torch
I can't do it all on my own
'Cause I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
Because I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
When I'm carrying a torch

I'm carrying a torch for you, baby
I'm carrying a torch
You know how much it's worth
When I'm carrying a torch

"Changes"

"Changes"


Here we are
But it's not the same
Why do I always learn
The hardest way?

I bet my heart
In a losing game
A hungry man makes
An easy prey

And now I'm payin'
For the fool I've been
But that's one mistake
That's never gonna happen again

Cause every day you're gone
Another night returns
And I have to face myself
I had to live and learn
I'm gonna mend this heart
I'm not ashamed to say
I think it's time for me
To make some changes
Changes

I played around
Pushed you to far
Pulled at all the strings
Till we came apart

But walls break down
When the truth gets hard
And there's no hiding
From the pain I caused

But hold on woman
Don't go now
I'm gonna get myself together
And make it up some how

Cause every day you're gone
Another night returns
And I have to face myself
I had to live and learn
I'm gonna mend this heart
I'm not ashamed to say
I think it's time for me
To make some changes
Changes

How can I convince you baby?
I'd do anything to change your mind
So hold on woman don't go now
I'm gonna get myself together
And make it up to you somehow

Cause every day you're gone
Another night returns
And I have to face myself
I had to live and learn
I'm gonna mend this heart
I'm not ashamed to say
I think it's time for me
To make some changes
Changes

"Charlie Darwin"
(originally by The Low Anthem)

"Charlie Darwin"
(originally by The Low Anthem)



Set the sails I feel the winds a'stirring
Towards the bright horizon set the way
Cast your reckless dreams upon our Mayflower
Haven from the world and her decay

And who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
Fighting for a system built to fail
Spooning water from the broken vessels
As far as I can see there is no land

Oh my God, the water's all around us
Oh my God, it's all around

Who could heed the words of Charlie Darwin
The lords of war just profit from decay
And trade the children's promise for the jingle
The way we trade our hard earned time for pay

Oh my God, the water's cold and shapeless
Oh my God, it's all around
Oh my God, life is cold and formless
Oh my God, it's all around

"Come Home Rhonda Boy"

"Come Home Rhonda Boy"


[Spoken:]
At the end of the first world war weary men returned from the battle field in Europe to a land fit for Heroes
Some how things don't turn out that way. You see the Mine Lords in the country told the Miners that they have to work for longer hours for less wages. On the street through out the Rhonda valley in South Wales the battle cries rose. Not a minute of the day not a penny off the pay the Miners went on strike. It was a long and bitter fight. Times were hard children went hungry. Many people left the valley of Wales to try and make better life for themselves in Cities all over the World. This song is dedicated to them and their descendants.

So you went and left your the valley
All those years ago and many were the young men at the time
And as you left the station you saw that you were leaving the rivers, the mountains and the mines

You came into the city left your friends at home
To make yourself a better life was your aim
The heartbeat of the Rhonda is not the thing to see
But it's always calling out your name

Come home, come home to where you belong
Back to the Rhonda your land of soul
The bright lights of the city are not what they seems
Come home Rhonda boy where the valley are green

[Spoken:]
So all of your life you been home since you left your valley. Now you know nothing can compare.
Where else in all over this wide world could you stand on a mountain and hear a thousand voice fill the air.

Come home, come home to where you belong
Back to the Rhonda your land of soul
The bright lights of the city are not what they seems
Come home Rhonda boy where the valley are green

"Cool Water"

"Cool Water"


All day I've faced the barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water, cool, clear water

[CHORUS:]
Keep a-movin', Dan, don't you listen to him, Dan
He's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waiting there for you and me

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water, cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water, cool, clear, water

The shadows sway and seem to say
Tonight we pray for water, cool, water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer
And show us where there's water, cool, clear, water

Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Like me I guess he'd like to rest
Where there's no quest for water, cool, clear, water

"Couldn't Say Goodbye"

"Couldn't Say Goodbye"


I watch you as you're sleeping
As I'm standing at the door
I don't want to let you go
But I can't hold on anymore

I just can't find the strength
To say I'm leaving you
It's over now, it's over now
And there's nothing I can do

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye

I'm walking down this rainy street
Thinking you're awake by now
As you read my letter
And the tears fall from your eyes

Just now I tried to make it work
It just wasn't meant to be
I needed you, I needed you
But not the way you needed me

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't want to make you cry
It's over now, yes, it's over now
I just couldn't say goodbye

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I

I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break

So I let you sleep till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye

"Dancing Endlessly"

"Dancing Endlessly"


Sometimes we dance so carelessly
But darling, when you're dancing close to me
I'm dancing endlessly
Sometimes it seems so inconsistent
You're so resistant
But darling, let's see
How close we can come to be
How close we can be

If you'll just dance with me
Dance with me
We could be anything
You ever thought love could be
Dance with me
Come on darling, dance with me
You could feel everything
You ever thought love should be

Maybe it's not the time or place
To feel this free
We'll save this dance
Until our time is meant to be
Truly dancing endlessly

Dance with me
Come on darling, dance with me
We could be anything
You ever thought love could be
Oh
Dance with me
Come on darling, dance with me
You could feel everything
You ever thought love should be

(Dance with me)
Dance with me, my darling
(Dance with me)
You gotta keep dancing
We could be anything
You ever thought love could be
(Dance with me)
Dance with me, my darling
(Dance with me)
We'll move together
(We'll move together)
Just like a river
(Just like a river)
To the sea
(We will feel everything)
Oh, we'll feel everything
We ever thought love could be.

"Danny Boy"

"Danny Boy"


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For ye shall bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

"Darlin'"

"Darlin'"


Darling,
I'm feeling pretty lonesome,
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime.

Darling,
You're so far behind me,
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line.

Taking me some paper
Pencil in my hand,
I'm gonna write:

Darling,
All I feel are cold nights,
Thinking 'bout the old nights
Spent along with you.

Darling,
Tears are in my eyes now,
Knowing I should try now
To make it back to you.

[Instrumental]

Darling,
Love you more than ever;
Wish we were together,
Darling mine.

Darling,
I'm feeling pretty lonesome,
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime.

Darling,
You're so far behind me,
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line.

Taking me some paper
Pencil in my hand,
I'm gonna write:

Darling,
I'm feeling pretty lonesome,
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime.

Darling,
You're so far behind me,
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line.

Taking me some paper
Pencil in my hand,
I'll write darling,
Love you more than ever,
Wish we were together,
Darling mine.

Darling,
I'm feeling pretty lonesome,
I'd call you on the phone some
But I don't have a dime.

Darling,
You're so far behind me,
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line.

Taking me some paper
Pencil in my hand,
I'm gonna write...
