Dove of Mine 02:51
Roaring, rolling down we fall Oh, I come when you call Oh, I come when you call Well, back it up and hide your eyes Turn your face to the wall Turn your face to the wall Dove of mine Bury me, I lost my mind I’ll hide under the snow Deep down under the snow Well, bat my eyes and rub my nose When you come and you go Don’t you come and you go Dove of mine Spin ‘round, shudder now to think When you told me goodbye Don’t you tell me goodbye Well, by the sword we live and die But you never know why No, you never know why Thou wilt drop out Dove of mine
2.
Lark of my heart - dance in the dark and say you love me Lark of my heart - right from the start and say you love me Lark of my heart - take back the night and say you want me Lark of my heart - turn up the light and say we can be The same, same, same, same… I can see it in your eyes, can smell it in your lies You know I want you And I can hear it in your sighs, I can feel it in your lines You know I want you Hello, hello, hello, hello I can see it in your face, on every marble place You know I want you And I can feel it in your grace, in every golden trace You know I want you What can I do? Oh boy, your mood creates the weather What can I do? Oh, how I miss the sound of thunder What can I do? Roll down around and lift your finger What can I do? Give me your hand, it’s now or never Today, today, today, today I can see it in your eyes, can smell it in your lies You know I want you And I can hear it in your sighs, I can feel it in your lines You know I want you I know, I know, I know, I know I can see it in your face, on every marble place You know I want you And I can feel it in your grace, in every golden trace You know I want you

Calvary running, cavalry coming Straight as an arrow Darling, darling Wandering divot, lost it at shipwreck Cut to the marrow Don’t say, don’t say All of my angels have left me All of mine, all of my When all of your angels have left you All of mine, all of my Sweetest kisses follow you down Sweetest kisses follow you down Soldier, soldier The heart is a virtue no one can hold to Be it too narrow Darling, darling Mine is your island, a haven divided My little sparrow Don’t say, don’t say All of my angels have left me All of mine, all of my When all of your angels have left you All of mine, all of my Sweetest kisses follow you down Sweetest kisses follow you down Run, run - not far enough The ground, ground - not high enough At war, war - not hard enough To sun, sun - not bright enough Our love, love - not light enough Your map, map - don’t say enough My song, song - told far too much For long, long, long All of my angels have left me All of mine, all of my When all of your angels have left you All of mine, all of my Sweetest kisses follow you down Sweetest kisses follow you down Soldier, soldier

Now and Then 05:08
Oh, to be young again Blood, blood is on my hands And oh, to be loved again I’d give, give you my best laid plan Oh, come and dance again And take, take me by the hand And oh, come and dream again And hold, hold to me now and then 'Cos if the road to hell is paved with our intentions It’s a fine, fine, fine way to love But if the hand you deal is hidden in your back pocket Don’t you dare, dare, dare come around I found me a bitter man To give, give me my daily bread And I’ll find, find me a better man To take, take, take me as I am 'Cos if the road to hell is paved with our intentions It’s a fine, fine, fine way to love But if the hand you deal is hidden in your back pocket Don’t you dare, dare, dare come around
5.
Tumbling low, toiling slow Crawling along the hours to you I sang today, my cares away Waiting around again Stranded in time, you on my mind Miles from where I want to be But I laughed today, my cares away Waiting around again Sweetness, won’t you stay Frozen in space, all out of place Wishing you were here next to me I cried today, my cares away Waiting around again Over the ground, under the sound Into the dark you call to me You danced today, your cares away Waiting around again Sweetness, won’t you stay
6.
Calling through the pines Trembling on the vine Breathing down your skin Only fools rush in Foolish by and by Falling from the sky Oh, lover bury me Under lock and key Come whatever will Conjured in the still Coursing through my veins Chances waxed and waned Love, don’t leave me cold Lonely, growing old Letters in my hands Writing in the sand Go down now, love - what do you say? Whisper through the trees Whistle in the breeze Breathing down your skin Only fools rush in
7.
Bright Star 04:06
All eyes were on your glow When you scattered on my shore Head on from Scorpio With a trail of vertigo I called you for my own And then light years you rode My kismet meteor Burnt out when I took hold Not now, not then Forever never naught The tie that binds Your torrent bright and tumbling Down, down, down, down The straight and narrow Is the pathway you chose The long and winding road Is the journey you trode Not now, not then Forever never naught The tie that binds Your torrent bright and tumbling Down, down, down, down
8.
A good man is hard to find What’s his is yours and mine to throw, oh He had an angry head He had a heavy heart to hold poison in the spring With an orchid in his hand And a shadow on his thumb In the barrel of a gun Me, I will find my love Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow A good man is hard to find God knows how I have tried repose, oh Give me my aching head Give me my broken heart and cold a woman cannot hold With a diamond on my hand And the water on my tongue In the barrel of a gun Me, I resign my love Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow Oh, oh - Lord knows where did he go Keeper of my heart’s joy, maker of my sorrow Dealer of my heavy hand Healer of my wounded heart Lord knows where did he go Lord knows where did he go Lord knows where did he go Lord knows where did he go Lord knows where did he go
9.
This is that, Lord knows how did it go? These days for you all things I never knew Day in day out pure as the driven snow These days to you all things I never do Oh, bitter cold and stealer of my soul Over, under - steady as it goes These days, what make all games I never play Ever never easy as it should These days, what may all words I never say Foxes, foxes circling your mouth Hear me hear you - lovely, might you say Today a name, a minuet away High time, high tide - you brought me to my low Today a place we dare to never go Hunted hunter - cover me in dirt
10.
Found inbound unfettered to the homeland Forget regret, I do the best that I can Your words, birds flying o’er the ocean I heard a word pin me to the mainland Egress, egret - we’re two birds of a feather A stone was thrown, and never mind the weather Unhinge the wind- a fortress in the venture In light, take flight - encircling the never La la la la la la la la If only for today, today La la la la la la la la Darling come what may, what may Whether you will wander you will Weather you will wander you will take Unclear, my dear - drop the coin in, pull the lever Condoned, unknown - forgettable forever I place your face on every wooden stranger I tried my luck but never knew the danger So farewell, my hell - I only dream in color Grown, unknown - I’ll be a better lover One day, some way - I’ll yearn to find another If fate won’t take us holding to each other La la la la la la la la If only for today, today La la la la la la la la Darling come what may, what may La la la la la la la la If only for today La la la la la la la la Only for today
