Flying – don’t need wings to fly
Soaring – way up in the sky
Dancing – up among the stars
Spinning – orbiting round Mars
Day by day, life is passing
Easy
Floating – upon the oceans deep
Swimming – dark rivers in one leap
Diving – blue water under ice
Plunging – pools beyond my sight
Day by day, life is passing
Easy
(short break)
Shining – faces crystal clear
Reaching – can’t seem to hold you near
Calling – but all of you are gone
Fading – the light that always shone
(break)
Flying – don’t need wings to fly
Soaring – way up in the sky
Dancing – up among the stars
Spinning – orbiting round Mars
Day by day, life is passing
Easy

Before You Were Born
03:01
|
|||
Floating on the ceiling looking down at my bed
Saw myself lying there as if I was dead
Couldn’t move a muscle, couldn’t open my eyes
My feet were in the kitchen but my head was in the skies
You don’t need drugs to have hallucinations
You don’t need drugs to have hallucinations
Travelling in my van in nineteen seventy-three
I heard the sunset singing in Germany
The swaying corn joined in in perfect harmony
My heart and soul took flight, I had set them free
You don’t need drugs to have hallucinations
You don’t need drugs to have hallucinations
At Glastonbury Festival (the very first one)
Rolling in the mud in nineteen seventy-one
I was the acid queen of Bristol
Way before you were born……
(Break)
Climbing up the Avon Gorge to have a cup of tea
I thought there was a café at The Observatory
Snowflakes on the ground that were as big as your hand
As if some God Almighty, had waved his magic wand
You don’t need drugs to have hallucinations
You don’t need drugs to have hallucinations
If life is but a dream what is reality?
Hope I find the answer deep inside of me
If life is but a game what is reality?
Hope I find the answer deep inside of me
You don’t need drugs to have imagination
You don’t need drugs to have communication
You don’t need drugs to have realisation
You don’t need drugs to have illumination
At Glastonbury Festival (the very first one)
Rolling in the mud in nineteen seventy-one
I was the acid queen of Bristol
Way before you were born
Before you were born
Before you were born….

At The Healing Tree
04:39
|
|||
Warm winds across the purple plains
The candles melt away the pain
Soothing hands upon your face
Golden light fills inner space
Ancient oaks and peacock calls
Through layers of time and stone-built walls
In starry dress a goddess stands
Reaching out with loving hands
Thoughts return back to Kartong
Searching for words to fit the song
How very strange that two years on
At The Healing Tree, at last it’s done
Instrumental break
Ancient oaks and peacock calls
Through layers of time and stone-built walls
In starry dress a goddess stands
Reaching out with loving hands
Reaching out with loving hands
Reaching out with loving hands………….

Lazy days drift by
Like hazy clouds across the sky
Wasted days they all blur into one
And all across this land
Hours of time like flowing sand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand
So many things we want to do
A hundred things we ought to do
A thousand things we meant to do one day
The books we never wrote
The song caught in your throat
The pictures that won’t see the light of day
Seconds tick away
Minutes they won’t stay
Days and weeks and months turn into years
Though the moment seems so long
How could we ever be so wrong
Don’t we know we live on borrowed time?
(instrumental break)
Lazy days drift by
Like hazy clouds across the sky
Wasted days they all blur into one
And all across this land
Hours of time like flowing sand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand
Pass as water through the fingers of your hand.

No Friend Of Mine
03:46
|

No friend of mine
Would treat me so
Your jealous heart
You stooped so low
You crossed the line
We cheered for you
My moment came
You never knew
Oo oo oo oo oo oo….
Oo oo oo oo oo oo….
Across the hills
We walked for miles
Kicked autumn leaves
Climbed over stiles
Stood side by side
Your father’s grave
Left you alone
So you could pray
Oo oo oo oo oo oo….
Oo oo oo oo oo oo….
Cut to the quick
You made me hurt
What did I do?
You dished the dirt
You crossed the line
We cheered for you
My moment came
But where were you?
No friend of mine
No friend of mine
No friend of mine
No friend of mine
Are you
Oo oo oo oo oo oo….
Oo oo oo oo oo oo….

Shadow Puppets
03:29
|

Why can’t they ever wait until the breaking of the day?
I try to block them out but still they come.
From the past until tomorrow, they have to have their say,
Find awful ways to keep me on the run
Shadow puppets silhouetted on a screen
Trouble me at night won’t let me sleep.
Those shadow puppets silhouetted on a screen
Trouble me at night won’t let me sleep.
I close my eyes and always try to focus on my breath,
Drown my thoughts within the shining light
But they crowd around the margins of my mind and speak of death
My sanity has almost taken flight.
Shadow puppets silhouetted on a screen
Trouble me at night won’t let me sleep.
Those shadow puppets silhouetted on a screen
Trouble me at night won’t let me sleep.
(break)
Shadow puppets silhouetted on a screen
Trouble me at night won’t let me sleep.
Those shadow puppets silhouetted on a screen
Trouble me at night won’t let me sleep.

Five Years Ago
03:22

Ships in the night
Couldn't say no
It wasn't love
Nowhere to go
Such an old friend
Gone on so long
Want it to end
I know it's wrong
Going nowhere fast
Instrumental break
Going nowhere fast
Can't be so hard
Find someone new
Pick up the phone
It's always you
Five years have passed
Still can't say no
It isn't love
Get up and go
Going nowhere fast
Ships in the night
Couldn't say no
It wasn't love
Five years ago................................

Trust Me
04:39
|
|||
Lying in my bed,
Thoughts crawling round my head,
I cannot sleep at night,
Remembering what you said.
You said,
“Trust me, trust me babe, trust me babe”.
Walking on the beach,
Footprints in the sand,
Voices in the spray,
Breaking out of reach.
Calling,
“Trust me, trust me babe, trust me babe”.
Wandering in green fields,
Light filtering through the trees.
I can’t forget the past
Whispering in the leaves.
Whispering,
“Trust me, trust me babe, trust me babe”.
You let me down, you hurt my heart, you said that we would never part.
You let me down, you hurt my heart, you said that we would never part.
You said, “Trust me babe.”
Running in the rain,
Leaning in the wind,
Sighing on the breeze,
I hear your voice again.
Sighing,
“Trust me, trust me babe, trust me babe”.
“Trust me, trust me babe, trust me babe”.

Rain it falls upon the ground,
On the fields and on the towns.
Rivers fill until they flood
Streets and houses full of mud.
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
The sky turned black, the clouds did form
We had to shelter from the storm.
The wind it blew, the branches sway
The sun it should be bright today
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
Instrumental
We’ve burnt the coal and used the oil
Sucked the life from the very soil
They say that things will only get worse
And global warming’s our future's curse.
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!
Rain, rain it poureth down
Please dear God
Don’t let us drown!

Evermore
You said that you could make the sun shine.
"If you can," I said, "you'll always be mine."
You said that you could make the sun shine.
"If you can," I said, "I'll always be thine"
The sky cleared,
The grey disappeared,
The sun shone,
The clouds were gone
Evermore.
I always used to lock my door,
Afraid of what had gone before.
But now I leave it open wide,
So you can freely come inside.
The sky cleared,
The grey disappeared,
The sun shone,
The clouds were gone
Evermore.
You said that you could make the sun shine.
"If you can," I said, "you'll always be mine."
You said that you could make the sun shine.
"If you can," I said, "I'll always be thine"......
Evermore
