No Love (Without The Truth) 05:04
lyrics
No Love Verse 1 ghosts are dancing in another room, just to late to be far to soon people tell me things that i never knew, there ain't no love without the truth Verse 2 Sunlight streams in through the darkest soul, illuminates the pictures on the wall fade to grey now all the colours have gone, no-one wants to know what's going on Chorus nobody here knows about the truth, nobody here knows about you your like a hurricane blowing through, there ain't no love without the truth Small Break 4 bars Verse 3 while you were hanging on someone else's words, use a sow's ear to make a silk purse you're the leader of your own crusade, the only one left to tell the tale Verse 4 while summer's sleeping through the winter blues, like ol man river you keep on rolling through muddy the waters with your point of view, there ain't no love without the truth Chorus nobody here knows about the truth, nobody here knows about you your like a hurricane blowing through, there ain't no love without the truth Chorus nobody here knows about the truth, nobody here knows about you your like a hurricane blowing through, there ain't no love without the truth there ain't no love without the truth Lead guitar break 2 bars Chorus nobody here knows about the truth, nobody here knows about you your like a hurricane blowing through, there ain't no love without the truth Music to End.

Alive 03:11
lyrics
Verse 1 you say that I'm a ghost, but I see right through you where did the good times go, where did they vanish to? Chorus think twice before you burn your bridges, we're all going through the change be wise, who know's where this will take us we may make it out alive Verse 2 ev'ry word we've ever said,is flowing out into the void words don't lose there weight with time, frequecy's the thing we cannot find Chorus think twice before you burn your bridges, we're all going through the change be wise, who know's where this will take us we may make it out alive Middle 8 ev'ry move could be the last one, so you'd better make it right this day break could be the last sun, so you'd better make it shine Chorus think twice before you burn your bridges, we're all going through the change be wise, who know's where this will take us we may make it out alive, we may make it out alive, I'll see you on the otherside

Horses Are Gone 03:58
lyrics
Verse 1 tumbleweed blows round an around, like we're livin' in a ghost town no rain just hard times are falling down,even the timber wolf is lonely now well worn saddles hangin' in the yard ain't no use now the horses gone cold flat land under a burnin' sun, holdin' on you know we're holdin' on Chorus 50 miles from the mainline, sit with me under a carasine light empty diners an empty mines, just you and me and the great divide Verse 2 work this land and even though i try, all i'm growin' is old and tired steam trains whistle on a prarie night, echoing through canyons of river beds dry playin. dead mans bluff now with your faded cards, boarded up mansions and those ghost filled yards like an island in a sea of sharks, when our progress really cuts us off Chorus we are 50 miles from the mainline, sit with me under a carasine light empty diners and empty mines, just you and me and the great divide Guitar solo Chorus we are 50 miles from the mainline, sit with me under a carasine light empty diners and empty mines, just you and me and the great divide I'm a relic of a bygone age, hard times are written on my face they say some things will never last, small footnote in a faded photograph

Dear Jenny 05:59
lyrics
Verse 1 (Brother) Dear Jenny i'm sorry i didn't wave at the station, ive never been fantastic at goodbye hopefully it won't be long before i'm home again and tell of my adventures over here what a way to spend my eighteenth summer i know i still have much to learn sittin in the trenches with the enemy in front the rain out here never seems to stop Chorus (Brother) the captain said this would make us immortal fighting for the empire by the somme our names forever whispered on the breeze that moves the trees when all this war is gone Verse 2 (Brother) dear jenny give my love to both our parents tell them that i'm fine and doin well i sometimes can hear mother singin in the dead of night i lose her in the screaming of the shells this could be the last time that i write you i'm getting word that the time has come to go through the wire and no mans land into the great unknown gun in hand and terror in my heart Chorus (Brother) the captain said this would make us immortal fighting for the empire by the somme our names forever whispered on the breeze that moves the trees when all this war is gone Instrumental Verse 3 (Jenny) Dear brother it's been weeks since your last letter i'm losing hope of you returning home we rage against the men in suits in their name you have faught the noble cause is built on flesh and bone dear brother there's no such thing as immortal it's their arrogance that leads you to the flame and a million mothers know the truth and where there lies the blame knowing that we will see war again

Twenty Years Gone 02:49
lyrics
Verse 1 the weeping willow won't shed it's leaves under the sun and the river always flows along streets we used to run empty parks on summer nights and the songs we sung well those days don't last forever stop to look but they were gone Chorus as we sleepwalk through the ages thinking life has just begun then i get the news they buried you and twenty years have gone Verse 2 some they overstay the party pushed it just to far lost the thread that keeps the wolf from growling right outside your door when a thousand helping hands couldn't give the grip it needs to free the shackles from a mind in fear and eyes that couldn't see Chorus as we sleepwalk through the ages thinking life has just begun then i get the news they buried you and twenty years have gone Verse 3 take a rest you've walked a mile in yesterdays new shoes climbed the hill that see's the furthest swum oceans green and blue oh the times we had just starting out the bloomin of the flower like the winds of time have blown away it doesn't matter now Chorus as we sleepwalk through the ages thinking life has just begun then i get the news they buried you and twenty years have gone

Endless Winter 05:18
lyrics
Verse 1 stone cold echoes through my soul, damp climbs the bathroom wall old friends absent and gone some friends ain't friends at all god knows it's dragging on, even the hardest suffer some words that meant something once, now mean nothing at all Chorus endless winter please save me, i can't deal with these strange days the wind is howling outside and i wonder, how did we end up this way Verse 2 drowning in meloncoly thought i raise a glass up to the gods i wanna thank you for cutting me off your remorse counts for alot do you wanna read about it even the strongest break cold water comes in waves, so hang your head in shame Chorus endless winter please save me, i can't deal with these strange days the wind is howling outside and i wonder, how did we end up this way Instrumental Chorus endless winter please save me, i can't deal with these strange days the wind is howling outside and i wonder, how did we end up this way Verse 3 one thousand days and counting this winters never ending who's earning and who's spending what's real and who's pretending Chorus endless winter please save me, i can't deal with these strange days the wind is howling outside and i wonder, how did we end up this way Chorus endless winter please save me, i can't deal with these strange days the wind is howling outside and i wonder, how did we end up this way

Moving Along 04:56
lyrics
You think you're having fun now, but what about tomorrow you can enjoy the party if you want to you may not enjoy what will follow no more new frontiers to conquer, and hoist a new flag and the triumphs, that you have lived off for years are gone in the shifting sands The trick is in the eyes, because the mirror never lies I don't wanna be growing old wasting the light and wasting my time (Chorus) think of all your former glories echoeing down the hall of the places we played when we we're young, it's to loud to ignore I don't want a revolution, I don't want to know cos it's hard sometimes and I need to find, a new way of moving along Moving Along small break (Harmonica) you ain't getting any younger, don't wanna rain on your parade and that medium sized family car drives you further from halcyon days there's strangers on the radio, it's a whole different beat and the world doesn't turn for a man standing still, the rug pulled from under your feet looking on from the sides in the shadows where we hide to afraid that maybe we won't make the grade attained in an earlier time (Chorus) think of all your former glories echoeing down the hall of the places we played when we we're young, it's to loud to ignore I don't want a revolution, I don't want to know cos it's hard sometimes but I need to find, a new way of moving along Moving Along small break (Harmonica) Middle 8 it's hard to move against the tide, chasing something that's moving away when your life is sneaking up, from behind you gotta find another way and the lights on your horizon are blinking, and just out of reach you know something, comes along and changes it small break (Guitar) (Chorus) think of all your former glories echoeing down the hall of the places we played when we we're young, it's to loud to ignore an I don't want a revolution, I do not want to know but it's hard sometimes and you need to find, a new way of moving along Moving Along

The Boatman 03:44
lyrics
Verse 1 mist rolls across the lake in the early morning like a mortal hymn sung by a midnight choir hangin low underneath the weeping wilows branch through the leaves there floats a lonely sirens song Chorus 1 Binding up the willow, ripples in the shallows ravens flap and fly that's when the boatman is nigh verse 2 hanging small in a blood red sky the pale moon looks on black as water deepens wide calling out his song sweepin through the pastures wide the bracken thins and hides ghosts of yesteryear are silohette against the sky chorus 2 binding up the willow the fields are lying fallow and i wait as time goes by that's when the boatman is nigh chorus 3 two silver coins for passage the fields are lying fallow and i wait as time goes by thats when the boatman is nigh thats when the boatman is nigh thats when the boatman is nigh

The River 06:08
lyrics
Verse 1 from the hilltops to the sea rushing madly sometimes moving slowly ever onwards overtime unaware of everything that old river winds from the white tipped gull along the coast a preying heron by a sunbleached rowing boat through gentle stirring in the weeds tiny boatmen skating through the water weeds Chorus hail green and hail gold, hail the new and hail the old never bought and never sold it's the start of every story told Verse 2 through dappled orchards in the spring bearing fruit by the meadows with the wild flowers in hazy summer evenings when crickets sing whirlpools break the surface and are following through autumn city's through their smoke and din leave behind the traffic and the smell of industry leaves of golden brown are falling in swept along by the winter snow that's blowing in Chorus hail green and hail gold, hail the new and hail the old never bought and never sold it's the start of every story told
