Clouds 05:45
The clouds play tricks, they like to swell They like to trail their veils of rain They make you think you know the way They even think you hear again Old sounds you haven't heard for years Their insubstantiality Bearing the weight of remembered Voices across the tarn from the scree

The grey sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove with pushing prow, And quench its speed i' the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each!

See you approach your green, green garden Watch you engulfed by cherry tree blossom Flowers bloom around you, trees stir in motion Leaves drift in circles to ground that surrounds you But there's quiet here And all movements stills All around you, dear Silence breathes the hills Silence is here Blooming colours, seeds planted long ago Winding 'round branches, leaping up to and fro Greenhouse wide open, filled up with sunrise Warmth feeds the flowers, history in making But there's quiet here And all movements stills All around you, dear Silence breathes the hills Silence is here Flowers bloom around you, trees stand still Reaching up to skies above the hills Seeds were sown those years ago still bloom Always blossom in years to come, here in your garden

Sea Fever 03:14
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Drive the desire from your mind and let your soul roam free Speak to other lives, open up inside and dream Free the desire for the answers to all questions known Let your mind be free, let your spirit linger with Silent grace in spaces be Silent space in bars between Drive the desire from your mind and let your soul roam free Speak to other lives, open up inside and dream Far from beyond the world beckons to your heart let go Desire for nothing known, let yourself just roam here with Silent grace in spaces be Silent space in bars between

Can you stay up for the weekend And blame God for looking too old Can you find all that you stand for Has been replaced with mountains of gold You cannot dream yourself to notice To feel pain and swallow fear But can you stay up for the weekend For next year God, I can’t do this any more Though I'll be laid down on the floor As many feet walk through the door I’m not alone If I see a light flashing Could this mean that I’m coming home If I see a man waving Does this mean that I’m not alone
9.
From my window I see you But you don't see me A hundred stories with no-one in them But me and the enemy and you Your guardian angel, sleeping While you're up here and weeping And it's overcast with youth and beauty You're cold and shaking, you lonely creature You clear the ledge, deep with snow The pulse quickens, the tears are dry now The crowd has gathered below And mother's baby's falling Through arms outstretched and calling That it's not the ending, there are just more stories.
10.
Sleep seven hours as night time falls Call Mr Bunny, and curtains are drawn Sleep has its time and a place in the day But night-time is peaceful in its own way. Close your blue eyes let your smile rest tonight Save it till morning when the sun will rise Rest up your feet, little hands, little toes When morning has come, sun shines on home. Sitting on clouds let your mind roam free Making up dreams so easily Travel the world to a place that is new Dreams are your own, go where you choose.
