Whatever pulled the wind that night It had, it bring a tree down Untidy lime, tree holding tight To the end of my last garden One of five against the sky An elegant surrender It broke the wall and bent the gate And warmed us through the winter Whatever pulls the wind tonight Will have the roof slates fly But rows of chimney pots don?t wave Like trees against the sky The hill behind the old hou...
Come wind, come rain, we're off again Our muddy boots plod down the lane The snow has snowed, now the grass has grown And it's time that we were on the road Hey, ho, the wind and the rain The passers-by wave their arms and grin Come wind, come rain, we're off again Our muddy boots plod down the lane The mare is shod, the miles untrod Between us and the land of God We're on our way and everyday...
Just another diamond day Just a blade of grass Just another bale of hay And the horses pass Just another field to plough Just a grain of wheat Just a sack of seed to sow And the children eat Just another life to live Just a word to say Just another love to give And a diamond day
Glow worms show the path we have to tread Dreamers we should be asleep in bed Moving slowly through the springtime air Holding moments in the depth of care Holding moments in the depth of care Whisper fairy stories till they're real Wonder how the night can make us feel Loving living more with love to stay Long past sadness that was in our way Long past sadness that was in our way Dawn time mi...
Once I had a child He was wilder than moonlight He could do it all Like he?d been here before Once I had a child She was smiling like sunshine She could see it all Like she?d been here before Then I had a child Took his while like northern summer And he knows it all Like he?s been here before
Hidden in your every move Are the words that you will never say Stars and moons are not your style I've known for a while this is not your way I hear you I do know you very well And our time will tell if I read you right It can be so very hard Looking for a dark horse in the night I see you I do know you very well And I will until you can prove me wrong Maybe I'll find you are not Anything lik...
If I were to go away Would you follow me /to ends of the earth To show me what /Your love is worth Or would you go and buy a car Shrug your shoulders /Say there you are She didn't love me /anyway If she had /she would have stayed If I were to go away Would I always look /for your beautiful face In every crowd /every place Or would I turn /and buy a hat Turn my shoulders /say that is that He di...
Never was much given to prayer But lately I?m pleading with the air To keep you safe from harm my dears The only things that you should keep in rows Are your perfect teeth and the rest you know Its own sweet way will always go Add your footsteps to the wear For a tiny dent in every stair Will let them know that you?ve been there
Traveling north, traveling north to find you Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you Call out your name love don't be surprised It's so many miles and so long since I've left you Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you But suddenly now I know where I belong It's many hundred miles and it won't be long Nothing at all in my head to say ...
Didn't want to be the one The one who's left behind While the other one goes out to life And comes back home to find Me, sitting pretty happily Surrounded by a house With cups in all their saucers And not a bit of dust Days going by in clouds Of flour and white washing Life getting lost in a world Without end I wanted to be the one With road dust on my boots And a single silver earring And a s...
