No Reason 03:05
lyrics
buy track
If I've given you no reason, for believing That I'm not wrapped up in your lace Please don't try to uphold your case Lady of contradictions Why can't you trust what I say? If you'd just believe in me And not let it slip away Why can't you see, I say what I mean? Diplomacy is not in my range And in my view, the only fault in you Is the fear that someday I'll change So if I've given you no reason, for believing Then, baby, I feel the I've failed But, you know I'll love you, whatever you do And you might think on me someday

Stony Hearts 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Stony heart's been my trouble Stony heart's been my bane Stony heart's no foundation Not even to lay you down again When we made love the first time You said you'd love me for all time Now we've drifted far apart Can't even call you a friend of mine Now when I see you in the street I get a shiver down my spine I think of the time that I loved you I think "she's no friend of mine" When I see her hand in hand With a younger boy every time Stony heart's gonna get you She ain't no friend of thine

Lovesong In C Minor 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Eyes gently waking on the first day of love I touch your waiting lips with my kiss Sun falling softly on the pillows of our world I wonder what came before This pleasant morning daydream This waking in the sun This communion of our bodies But when I touch you You are gone No-one ever told me that love could be this way Thinking love was just a word in dreams But the warmth of our lonely bodies meeting in this place Makes me wonder how I lived before Walking along green leafy lanes Dark shadows in the sun With you, I know The time has come We kiss, we hug with new-found strength Clinging to last seconds But with you and I, our time has come My eyes are red and hurting on the last day I, waiting, hopeful for the 'phone Darkness steals my love away and I am left alone Wondering what the future holds

Days Of Love And Roses 02:34
lyrics
buy track
The conflict now is over And only I am free There is nothing left to bind me But memories, reminding me That I must go out and find Somebody else to sympathise with me I must go out and find another girl The loneliest days are ended And all thoughts of love are gone I have counted up my losses And find I can go on if I can find Somebody else to sympathise with me I must go on out and find another girl Days of love and roses, coffee, unmade skies Are all very fine But when they go, they leave a bitter taste Like the remnants of fine wine And so, I have made my mind up To leave some truth behind Although I may hurt somebody I'll not try to be unkind when I find Somebody else who can sympathise with me Then I'll go on out and find another girl

Cambridge Summer 01:52
lyrics
buy track
I saw her after tea Said "won't you take a walk with me?" Gonna take you once I'm gonna take you twice Out into the counteree Well she really was a mighty fine lass We wandered off the country paths Gonna take her once I'm gonna take her twice We lay down on the grass Then we lay back for a while Her face was a beautiful smile Gonna take her once I'm gonna take her twice I knew that baby was mine Gonna take her once I'm gonna take her twice Gonna take her for all time

They say you're not pretty They say you're not fine But I say that you're beautiful I say you're all mine You're my one and only lovesong You're my one and only loved one They say that you'll not last long They say I could aim above But I know that you'll be constant You're the only one I could love

Riversong 02:05
lyrics
buy track
Oh, the river smiled for me one day I will take you there and you will see The river, smile for you and me When I first went there, I was all alone Like a dog who'd lost his bone But the river came and spoke to me Smile gently, smile, my river Smile gently One more time, for me Oh, the river sang a pretty song The trees all listened with clouds in the hair To the river, singing me a song Oh, the river smiled for me one day I'll take you there to lose your cares The river, will smile with you and me

When (I'm Feeling Lonely) 01:42
lyrics

When, I'm feeling lonely When, I'm feeling blue When, no-one is thinking of me That's when, I think of you You, were the one I could turn to You, were never far away You would come and sit, beside me Love, forever but today

Hold Back The Morning 02:55
lyrics
buy track
I'm picking up the pieces of another summer's day Can anybody help me fit them together again? I'm collecting broken rainbows that someone has thrown away Won't anybody help me sail away? The rocks are filled with promises ...oh, won't you take my hand? The sun smiles and gives the game away The pebbles are the diamonds of my lazy breezy bay Won't anybody help me sail away? Hold back the morning Hold back the morning Don't let it enter my head Hold back the morning Hold back the morning I don't want them to hear what I've said A rebel's picture of Jesus brings a smile to those who know That Christ will only help his own The tide washes back once more to reveal my frosted feet Won't anybody help me sail away

Cocoon 02:25
lyrics
buy track
Sleep's gentle eyes, looking at me crazy We know we can't stay here But we're feeling rather lazy and I love you so I can't let you go We know we've got to get up and face the world outside But, I'd rather hold you Here, by my side, forevermore I can't let you go And the sun is breaking up our shell, we throw the sheets aside I look with loving sorrow But I know you will not hide with me all day You'd rather go Oh o-oh, cocoon of love is breaking now You close my eyes And tiptoe away But, when the night falls, I still have you here I hold your hand in mine Our love is just as clear as it was before I still love you so

Girl On The Beach 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Girl on the beach (all on her own) She's within my reach (all on her own) I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you All on my own, all on my own I'm gonna love you We're all waiting for someone Someone to call our own We're all waiting for someone 'Cos, baby, we're all alone So we both play the game (all on our own) I ask her her name (all on my own) She's says that she loves me - I'm the only one I say love's beyond me - I'm all on my own We will leave all our friends Who were staying for the day We will do just as we're bidden Let this one light lead our way She cannot accept me (being all on my own) Like the others she rejects me (I'm all on my own) No-one to love me, no-one to care for me I'm on my own - all on my own I don't know how to tell you But when I find my light I'm gone I don't know how to console you While you're waiting for someone

Longing.....longing for the day Longing.....longing for the day Longing for that day When I'll be back in your arms again Longing..... for the day Longing..... for the day It's been two long weeks, since you went away And I'm slowly counting by each day Why did you go - I begged you to stay? And I still don't know why you went away
