The Road

The Road is made by the walking
Footsteps leave their wakes behind
Like round a fire
Stories ignite and unfold
Without the walking there is no road

Verse 1
Eyes fixed on a horizon for a sail I cannot see
Heart hoping for the return of something lost to me
Staring out and looking so many times I’ve watched ahead
Looking for a difference something coming else instead
Bridge
Patience to learn pages to turn
And a Heart waiting to burn
Chorus
Light a fire for me
Burning bright so I can see it
As bright as it can be
So this journey can be completed
And this loss can be defeated
Verse 2
Holding tight holding strong to a thread of hope I’ve held so long
Waiting watching willing something trying pretending to be strong
Wiil you wait will you strive will you fight your way to me
Will the sail appear once more returning from the sea
Bridge
Patience to learn pages to turn
And a Heart waiting to burn
Middle 8
I wonder where you are
And I sit and count the starts that might lead you home to me
chorus
Light a fire for me
Burning bright so I can see it
As bright as it can be
So this journey can be completed
And this loss can be defeated

I want to know , I just can’t tell
Where this whole thing is going
You crossed my path, You drew me in
Turned my head without me knowing
Out of the night, into the dark
You pulled me in without much reason
Into a cold and different world
You shared with me where you’ve spent seasons
And the coldness and the darkness of your table
And the chains I will escape if I am able
Stay here with me you quietly said
Let us sit down together
Beneath the falls her in the dark
We could stay here forever
I don’t think so no no no no
I will get my coat be leaving
Wont come again wont poach no more
Sorry that I will leave you grieving
I gonna run out of the dark
]Towards the single point of light a burning spark
I gonna fly away from here
I have seen the darkness clearly

It was not like me, the mistake I made, oh my debts their not paid for my actions that day
My heart in runs cold, when I think what I did, when I raised the alarm, when I shot and I hid.
I don’t know, I can’t say, what to do, I blew it that day
All my plans, all my will, not sure how, I did it still
Watching so long for nothing on the water my finger on the trigger
Something or nothing I’m stuck and my mistake it will linger
It started as something or nothing a small indecision ohh
A glimpse of a thing, should I unpick this string what bell can I ring for an opinion ohh
Ther on the water a shape a suggestion of something big
A danger perhaps a stranger a threat a choice I’ll regret later ohh
Ah jermimaville I’ll remember you until
I’m long gone, regret goes on, I dropped the bomb and I’m sorry oh
So I pushed the button that started the sequence of danger
Unleashed the bombs and started the sirens that rang out.

Orange Juice Legs

Well we sweated so much we sweated dry
Never been so thirsty in our lives
And in the darkness of the metal hull
The ark lights they lit us all
Before the fall
Well we never worked harder we said
Never slept better in our beds
Felt my work it was of use
Felt rewarded by orange juice
Orange juice it replaced
The energy we used
That’s the truth
What’s the use in drinking water when all you want is orange juice
Well it’s always cost less than it costs now
Orange juice is not some scared cow
All I want is to get the job done
Water is cheaper and the job should still run
It needs to be done
Water is what I’ll give them
Fresh orange juice is a snapping stem
They can drink it on their own time now
To my request they have to bow as of now
Orange juice it sucks up
The money I have to use
That’s the truth
What’s the use I’ll give them water they not getting orange juice

Cholera Blanket

I look out the window
See a might cloud a shroud
Coming across the water heading straight to me
Coming closer i suppose sir
Someone should do something about it
I dont doubt it so maybe its up to me
Am F C Am F G
After Im gone people may well remember
The thing that I did to hold all our bodies and souls together
I took up a blanket stitched it fixed it into large bag a receptacle a vestibule for a cloud
I ran to the water and I set my boat apon it rowed out alone to meet the danger blowing my way
Am F C Am F G
After Im gone people may well remember
The thing that I did to hold all our bodies and souls together
A cholera blanket, a pig in a poke
My lucky start I thank it didn’t think I could cope
Gotta bury it deep, deep in the ground bury it deep so it never is found
Under a grave stone deep in the ground right in the corner
A cholera blanket, a pig in a poke
My lucky start I thank it didn’t think I could cope
Gotta bury it deep, deep in the ground bury it deep so it never is found
Under a grave stone deep in the ground right in the corner

The sea it calls to me x 2
There on the shore where your hull stands
No more the waves just shifting sands
Under the gulls you rest on the shore
Slowly you fade hunting no more
Goodbye to the silver under gold of the sun
Farewell to the bronze in your hand when works done
No more the wood holds the deep keeps us warm
And a brotherhood forged through the storm
The sea it calls to me x 2
On the shore there you are beached
No more for horizons to reach
Timbers are failing you shape indistinct
Purpose is gone slowly you sink
Goodbye to the silver under gold of the sun
Farewell to the bronze in your hand when works done
No more the wood holds the deep keeps us warm
And a brotherhood forged through the storm
The sea it calls to me x 2
