All That Is 05:18
lyrics

All that is Is all there was It’s not like him No one’s home He’s a ghost of himself He’ll look straight through you To the back of your mind He drags his thoughts like Burdens left behind All that is Is all there was It’s not like him No one’s home He’s a ghost of himself She’ll look down on you To the depths of you’re well She shifts pulleys and rods With out any way to tell All that is Is all there was It’s not like her She’s not at home A shadow of herself They’ll look up to you To the heights you soar Some clouds may part To their days of yore All that is Is all there was It’s not like them They’re not there A memory of themselves A memory of themselves A memory of themselves All that is Is all there was All there was All there was

One 03:24

One more swig I fear I’ll Speak my mind Take it from me I won’t be so kind One more draw I fear I’ll Reveal my all Keep it from me And my downfall CHORUS I am a simple man Of word and deed The vices of mine Keep me free One more scoop I fear I’ll Have my fill Hold it from me I may be ill CHORUS One more time I fear I’ll Lose my way Keep me going Through today

Make Of Me A Feather 05:30
lyrics

We’re waiting on the winds To take us cape-ward bound The belly of this ship Awaits on sandy ground Will I see her hair Breezing in the heather Swift winds I beg thee Make of me a feather Through storm I pray for passage Through the cape’s fair weather Full of spice and fur and cane Packed in ribs and chests The belly of this ship Lies in troughs between the crests Will I see her hair Breezing in the heather Swift winds I beg thee Make of me a feather Through storm I pray for passage Through the cape’s strong weather We’re heaving on the mainsail To take back our calm The belly of this ship Stares into eyes of harm Will I see her hair Breezing in the heather Swift winds I beg thee Make of me a feather Through storm I pray for passage Through the cape’s foul weather We’re smelling land ahead In the dead of night so deep The belly of this ship Beckons to eternal sleep Will I see her hair Breezing in the heather Swift winds I beg thee Make of me a feather Through storm I pray for passage Through the cape’s cruel weather We’re looking up above us To the ceiling of the sea The belly of this ship Bears my child to never be Will I see her hair Breezing in the heather Swift winds I beg thee Make of me a feather Through storm I pray for passage Through the cape’s deadly weather

lyrics

Do you recall When the days were longer And the nights were lighter When a wave meant a smile And the tide lifted us all   Do you recall When songs were played And live meant analogue When a crowd went a mile And the chorus lifted us all   Do you remember those days Unlike today Not filled with sorrows We had better yesterdays And no fear of tomorrow   Do you recall When food was clean And a walk was safe When a smile meant hello And the mood lifted us all   Do you remember those days Unlike today Not filled with sorrows We had better yesterdays And no fear of tomorrow   Do you recall When jingo was unknown And a flag was for a pole When a song meant something And the tide lifted us all   Do you remember those days Unlike today Not filled with sorrows We had better yesterdays And no fear of tomorrow Do you remember those days Better yesterdays Better yesterdays

Time Is With The Tide 03:52
lyrics
buy track
TIME IS WITH THE TIDE - a protest in three generations You sit on your porch At the end of the day With a flagon of hate And drink til you sway You wretched old fool With past glories and loss There’s two sides to a coin You’re wrong from the toss Take a step back you’re Down the wrong road Time aint on your side Time is with the tide You’re slaying the dead With your tirade of folklore Dig up your trenches What you fighting for? You restless young fool With your clenched up fist Open your heart son You’re nothing but grist Take a step back you’re Down the wrong road Time aint on your side Time is with the tide You sign up for that A name on their table That protest you seek will Soon not be able You odd angry crowds Thumping on locked doors While you crave what’s theirs They’re stealing what’s yours Take a step back you’re Down the wrong road Time aint on your side Time is with the tide

Reason In Your Rhyme 05:28
lyrics
buy track
You’ve seen enough bad To make your demons Seem good As angels walked away And took the last word Silence defeaned your cries When only the serpent Would dare come near For solace The wolves stole all the lambs While exhausted you watched Your future fall into the past Not every tale Concludes so well Nor opens with a bang Take all the chapters In your book For they’re the tune you sang When dawn comes late To end your night Of bleakness The shadows you cast turn on you And hide your shining rays To fool your guiding light Not every tale Begins so well Nor closes with With you dying Take all the chapters In your story For they’re the tears you’re crying Take heed of your tales To share your plight For mercy Your accounts add to define you And cast your act on stage To all you care to show Not every tale Begins and ends Nor passes On with time Take all the verses In your life They’re the reasons in your rhyme

She Sells Salvation 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Take down your flag And set the doves free Let all blades rust And your armies be She sells salvation It’s sweet and it’s dear The cost of redemption Is loud and clear Lay down your causes And hitch up your load Sound the salve of bugle As you ease down the road She sells salvation It’s sweet and it’s dear The cost of redemption Is loud and clear Take up your trades Put down your fears The time for your battles Is lost in yesteryears She sells salvation It’s sweet and it’s dear The cost of redemption Is loud and clear Keep up your vigil And stay til the dawn Til all fields are fallow Let canons lie forlorn She sells salvation It’s sweet and it’s dear The cost of redemption Is loud and clear

What Am I To You? 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Am I the wave that has to break? Or the flotsam on the shore Must my words parch the page Or echo, down the corridor What am I to you? What am I to you? As the years catch Our hurried steps And awkward moves In these days What am I to do? And What am I to you? Am I the bough that has to break? Or the litter on the ground? Must my tears touch the wound Or dry, scattered all around? What am I to you? What am I to you? As the years catch Our hurried steps And awkward moves In these days What am I to do? And What am I to you? Am I heart the heart that has to break? Or, the blood that spills? Must my hands wipe your blade Or suffer from your ills? What am I to you? What am I to you? As the years catch Our hurried steps And awkward moves In these days What am I to do? And What am I to you? What am I to do? And What am I to you?
