All For You 04:44
Two years. Forty cities. A couple of meltdowns. Especially in the first few months. Strange behaviour. I’ve lost my flavour mmm, I can’t recover, the pictures of the past. New horizons, beyond my vision, meaning nothing, tempt me from my home. Breaking habits, and going at it. Mmm I dare you to stop me, burning from within. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. They told me to stop it. But I wouldn’t have it. Coz I love the music, and I don’t care if I die. Well… At least I’d go trying, instead of sitting and hiding, mmm there’s no point in living, just to carry on. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. Now that I’ve done it, I know that we have to, find out where our love is, and see it through. It’s just not enough to, lie hiding in waiting, mmm the world’s for the taking, yes I believe in you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. I believe in you. I believe in you. I believe in you, yes I do. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you. It’s all for you.

Wandering through the land came a long forgotten man, As tall as he was weary, with a hammer in his hand, He'd spent years fighting treachery among his brothers from the same country, He said the world is built on castles in the sand. A woman he'd had feelings for had left him several years before, He was tired of the pain that so often comes with age, With his burning lips and aching hands he cast aside his world's demands, And he took me by the hand and slowly said. Jenny, Jenny, would you write me a song? Coz it's been years since I've felt at home, or where I could belong, And I haven't met a single man who would put down his guns, So, Jenny, would you write me a song? David, David here I wrote you a song, His daughters he'd had one or two, they left before he really knew them. People seemed to fade before him, either that or just ignore him, Fame and fortune came his way, and the plagues that followed in it's wake, And sighing now, he asked me once again: Jenny, Jenny, would you write me a song? Coz it's been years since I've felt at home, or where I could belong, And I haven't met a single man who would put down his guns, So, Jenny, would you write me a song? David, David here I wrote you a song, His eyes were clear, his face was kind, there was no fear upon his mind, There's nothing you can take you see from a man already gone, No sorrow at what's gone before, or terror at what could befall, And smiling now, he asked me once more: Jenny, Jenny, would you write me a song? Coz it's been years since I've felt at home, or where I could belong, And I haven't met a single man who would put down his guns, So, Jenny, would you write me a song? David, David here I wrote you a song, Coz it's been years since I've felt at home, or where I could belong, And no I didn't meet a single man who would put down his guns, So David here I wrote you a song. David I have written you a song. David here I wrote you a song.

Hiding 04:31
London sky is dark, I can't feel the stars, But I know they're there, I know they’re there. Somewhere beyond the sky, I've heard that there's some guy, And he's supposed to care. But all I feel is you, right up in the blue, Hiding in the wind, I see you still. Traffic rushes by, Lights flash past my eyes, And I can't keep track, No I can’t keep track. Time goes round and round, The sun goes up and down, And I know you're here, I feel you near… Yes all I feel is you, right up in the blue, Hiding in the wind, I see you still. I can almost reach, I can almost hear you speak, I hold your hand, You hold my hand. All I feel is you, right up in the blue, Hiding in the wind. And all I know is true, You're out there in the blue, Hiding in the wind, I see you still.

Wash It Away 04:58
I am getting older, and time is moving faster, so soon I will meet my dying day. The man who has kissed me, and our years of history, the unknown and the mystery’s going to wash it all away. He isn’t mine to keep, and neither mine to seek, let the whole thing go and wash it all away. Like the river in its path, moving slow or rushing fast, choicelessly my past will be washed away. Like a flower that blooms once, in life’s enormous dace we will be washed away. And once is all that’s needed on this joyus earth we’re breeded and then washed away. I am getting older, and time is moving faster, so soon I will meet my dying day. I give thanks for what was taken, apologies for what’s broken, take comfort friend we both shall meet so soon our dying day. Like a flower that blooms once, in life’s enormous dace we will be washed away. And once is all that’s needed on this joyus earth we’re breeded and then washed away. Take comfort friend we both shall meet so soon our dying day. We won’t bear our losses, but neither do we keep our gains. Like a flower that bloomed once, in life’s enormous dance you were washed away. And once was all that’s needed on this joyus earth was breeded and then washed away. Take comfort friend we both shall meet so soon our dying day. We won’t bear our losses, but neither do we keep our gains.

Night and day, night and day, I'm with you, night and day. Take me far, far away. I'm with you night and day. We've gone off track, gone astray. I'm with you, night and day. On the mountain stay, I'm with you night and day. Don't wander off, don't lose your way. I'm with you, night and day. By your side or far away. In dark of night or joyful day. And even if you pass away. I'm with you night and day. I'll be true, I'll show the way. I am you, night and day. Watch and learn, give not take. I am you night and day. By your side or far away. In dark of night or joyful day. And even if you pass away. I am you night and day.

After 04:11
I sit here in this empty mind. In the far left corner, my knees held to my chin. Moving further away from reality, I open up and let it in. Stay close, go far, I don't want to let this hurt you. Be free and let go, you can't come with me. Purple clouds and rainbow skies. This colourless place, free of time. Let the shadows coming rolling on by. And feel the power running deeply. You're surfacely there and we'll go our separate ways together. Adrift among somethingness I'll see you after. You can find me by the tree, So far away, but still within reach. Come in, and welcome too... And remember what you once knew.

In Time 03:36
Stop fooling child, you’ve many years before you. Many transitions to go through, nothings the same don’t you know. That most of us here, have spent the whole of our lives, desperately trying to find, our ways back in time. And letting it go, is not very hard to do. But it seems that only the few, find that they are able to. You see time rambles on, taking us all in it’s arms. Cherishing your loved ones, and letting them pass on in their own time. In their own time. In time, time, time, in their own time, in time, time, time. Of all of my friends, some faces I will see again, and some aren’t around anymore, but that is a natural law. There’ll be many more, but none like the one from before, I’ll remember his name evermore, though I’m letting his memory go and I’ll travel on. In my own time, in time. In my own time, time. In my own time, time, in my own time, in time, time. So on with the new, who’s telling what’s coming for you. Bring on the hard and the true, I shall not go looking for you even though I have half a mind to. But we’ve all got work to do, and eternity to go through, in our own time, in time. In our own time. Time. In time, time. In our own time, time. In time, time, time, time.

Falling 04:41
Sometimes I feel I'm falling down Is that you I can hear talking so loud Are you talking to me like that? What's that on the table? Over there, by the door Are you coming with me, or do I leave you here, burning by the door? Sometimes I feel I've fallen down Is that me I can hear talking so loud Am I talking to you like that What's that on the table? Over here... Am I going with you at all? Or would you leave me here, burning by the door?

Gone 04:35
Last I saw you swimming in the sea, beyond all else, far away from me. And how I long to be with you, a drop of water in the blue... Here and waiting for the tide to rip wide open this disguise. Biding time and holding on till I'm gone, gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone, gone... People call me as I wait, they all have trouble on their plates, They've invited me to stay but still I'm going on my way... I ca but offer them relief since I have nothing up my sleeves, Just a temporary solution, before I dive into that ocean. Gone, gone, gone, gone... And so they wail in despair! They cry 'it's utterly unfair' That one should leave this little town, but I can hardly hear them now. Out and running with the wind I feel the rain over my skin. It's storms out in the wild. I feel I'm burning from inside. Gone, gone, gone, gone... Once I'm gone I shan't come back there'll be no retracing of tracks... Destroy the past leave me wide open, suck me in to your great ocean. Gone, gone, gone, gone... Looking from the other shore you tell me that you wanted more. But you go back to where you came from, leave me alone with this ocean. Gone, gone, gone, gone... Last I saw you swimming in the sea, beyond all else and far away from me. And how I long to be with you, a drop of water in the blue.

Oh the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the purple heather Will ye go, Laddie go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the purpose heather Will ye go, Laddie go? I will build my love a tower Near yon' pure crystal fountain And on it I will build All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go, Laddie go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will ye go, Laddie go? If my true love she were gone I would surely find another To pluck wild mountain thyme Grows around the purple heather Will ye go, Laddie go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will ye go, Laddie go?
