A stranger I met one crystal morn
Knulp was the name,and his coats in tatters
He looked in my eyes,are you travelling far?
I told him I tried,he`s just laughing
He said you`re searching for cures on this cold crystal morn
Of work I know nothing,the roads me home
And I go where I please,and I stay where welcome
My purpose is strange,and its often unclear
Theres only a few knows the reasons I`m here
But I think of them kindly if they pass my way
Forgive me said he,you`re a desperate man
Just stay by the fire,I`ll tell you the plan
Blackwoods the oak,as lives in the woods
And the heart of this oak,it`s constantly growing
Think of it kindly if you pass that way
Well you know that this world its a wonderful place
And the less travelled roads are hard to follow
Well you`re born to live ,or you`re born to die
Choose as you will,and the reasons why
Live your life truly and constantly grow.

One Friend.

You dont know me,but I see you every day
As up and down the hill you roll
Your kids ignore you now,your wife,she moved away
And now you`re really on your own x2
You try so hard,to keep your dignity
Just take a good look you lost it all to me
One by one your hopes and plans they all dried up
Good at getting down you can`t get up
No,you can`t get up
One friend is the bottle
Yeah you see her every day
One friend is the bottle
Now you can`t find any other way
You sit there on the bench outside the local school
All the children laugh to see the fallen fool
So far away you looked,I swear I think you saw
The sunlight,a blue sky and a meaning
The sunlight and a meaning
A blue sky and a meaning...
Chorus.

Good Detergent Blues.

How I love those little dishes
Don`t it make you want to blink
Layin all around the kitchen
Lets just shove em in the sink
Refrain
Yeah the waters nice and hot now
Wash that thing until it shines
Everything will be dispersed now
You got the good detergent blues
Cups and glasses go in firstly
Keeps that water nice and clean
Wash and rinse and shining bright boy
Its so great to see them gleam
Refrain
Plates and knives must go in next man
Watch them shining bubbles flow
Me you know I`m mean and evil
I just hope it doesn`t show
Refrain

Ocean.
06:11
|

|
There`s a tall ship,far from land
Such a beauty,Ocean Brave
But they never brought her home
All were lost there,none were saved
Though the crew were all so brave
They are lost now,to the deep
And the one thing that they crave
Is the one thing you can`t keep
When you go.x2
There`s an old man,on the beach
Where the waves roll,through his hair
Well,he`s been through many days
Now it`s over,no more cares
So the wind knows,where it blows
As the see knows every wave
And the love that loses sight
Hurts the ones it`s meant to save
Meant to save x2
Now their ocean,is so wide
What was lost there,on the way?
With their anger,and their pride
And they`ve all seen,better days.
They were parted,by the waves
And their eyes no longer see
If they had there time again
Could it turn out differently
Can you say x2
Say.

Hey Darling.

Hey,your eyes are green,darling
Yes those eyes are green
Green as fern,jewels in a stream
Hey,those eyes are green.
Hey,the sun,she shines,darling
For me, the sun,she shines
When you smile,`cos thats your style
For me,the sun,she shines
Chorus
You got this world in your hands
You found a place to be
In this world,there`s no doubt
Love,grow and be free.
Hey,the wind may blow darling
A cruel wind may blow
You and me,gotta bend like a tree
If a cruel wind does blow,
Hey,the leaves can fall,darling
See the leaves that fall
But thats just fine,like natures wine
Be glad the leaves can fall.
Chorus

No Way To Be.
03:53
|
|||
|
One to one and throw a line
All growing old before our time
Looking out and looking in
All give,no taking
It hardly matters what you say
You run and shout and see no way
Rushing here and pushing there
I ain`t joking
Don`t you know,some can never see
That ain`t no way to be.
Two to one the odds are blue
There`s no one looking out for you
The troubles hit you like a train
A man of patience getting pushed
To the edge,beyond the rough
Society gone too far
It wants you in a jar
Some you see can never know
That ain`t no way to go.
The obscene price that we must pay
I see it happen every day
Whle others look the other way
And keep on making
Money..is the seed of pain
Whatis it all for in the end?
I never bought a smile or friend
Don`t you know,some can never see
That ain`t no way to be.
One to one and throw a line
All growing old before our time
Looking out and looking in
All give no taking
Just see here the pressures on
The air is blue,there`s something wrong
I tell you,everything must change
Everything must change x3
Every damn thing change
Don`t you know some can never see
That ain`t no way to be
Sometime...x4

In The Garden.
04:42
|

|
I saw you standing in the garden
Standing silent in a summer rain
You turned and smiled in the garden
I watched you as you spoke my name.
Chorus
We`re not drowning we`re not drowning
All we gots just a little rain
We`re not drowning we`re not drowning
All we gots just a little rain
Gentle rain.
Next time you`re in the garden
Don`t be blind,to what you know
For all confusion in the garden
Clears like mist,reveal the name
Chorus
And if you`re ever in the garden
Hearing something like a gentle rain
Would you turn and smile in the garden
Would you hear me as I spoke your name.
Chorus

Islands.
06:07
|
|||
|
How the words come out,it seems to sound like something said by someone else
And later,are you hearing right,cos thats not what I said?
The things you say,that seem so clear,how could they have got it wrong?
Well,its too late now,whats the use in tangling up your head?
Chorus
I heard it said,no man is an island
Some say thats the truth,but I can`t tell
I heard it said,you never know another
We`re all islands..No shores.
Now the roving boy is looking round him,searching for this photograph
Thinking it can tell him,how it was so long ago
They`re on the shore,now he feels,something that he used to know
They`re holding hands,the child and man
Watching all the waves.
The words you heard,are not the ones I`m saying
They never have been meant to cause you pain
The words I held ,close to heart have failed me
But we try...Again.
Repeat V1 and Chorus.
