I Found Out Tonight

I FOUND OUT TONIGHT
While I looked through the trees
Standing underneath the sky
By the late evening light
It was there inside her eyes
What I had to know
I found out tonight
Why she had to go
I found out tonight
Autumn moon drifting by
On its way across the stars
As the words left her lips
On their way towards my heart
What I had to know
I found out tonight
Why she had to go
I found out tonight
What I had to know
I found out tonight
Why she had to go
I found out tonight

LET ME DOWN BEFORE I FALL
She was looking down at me
When I first opened my eyes
Coming back out of a dream
It was then I realized
When I call
You're the one I want to hear
Every time
When the future gets too near
In the chains her leaving made
To her love I'll be a slave
Till the past begins to fade
And tomorrow clears the grave
When I call
You're the one I want to hear
Every time
When the future gets too near
Let me down
Let me down before I fall
Before I fall
Let me down before I fall
When I call
You're the one I want to hear
Every time
When the future gets too near
Let me down
Let me down before I fall
Before I fall
Let me down before I fall

NO WONDER LIFE FEELS STRANGE
Leaning out a window in the rain
On the wall a figure in a frame
Like the water in the pools of light
In the dark upon a sleepless night
Waiting for the world to make a change
Waiting for the world to make a change
People passing on the street below
One of them a girl he used to know
Silent images he'll understand
In the future in a far-off land
Waiting for the world to make a change
Waiting for the world to make a change
No wonder life feels strange
From the sighing of the setting sun
To the wonder of a love begun
Fading echoes in the light of day
Early morning as he walks away
No wonder life feels strange
No wonder life feels strange
No wonder life feels strange
No wonder life feels strange

Sing Me To Sleep

SING ME TO SLEEP
I wonder where you are
On this haunted moonlit night
As I look out through the dark
By the fire's dying light
Sing me to sleep
I want to hear your voice melt sweetly
Into a dream
My thoughts keep turning back
To the day we said goodbye
Still I wonder what you see
When I look into your eyes
Sing me to sleep
I want to hear your voice melt sweetly
Into a dream
It doesn't matter what lies in between
It doesn't matter what lies in between

THE DAY THEY LEFT TOGETHER
There she stands
And waits for him
With her eyes on the water
Far away in her thoughts
As she remembers what happened that day
Six a.m.
The sun was just underneath the horizon
When she saw him standing there
At the place where they said they would meet
They left together
And pledged their love forever
He returns and throws a stone
Far out onto the water
As it lands, his hand reaches out to hers
And they turn round to leave
Their ship is waiting
No time for hesitating
The day they left together
And pledged their love forever
Their ship, their ship is waiting
No time for hesitating
The day they left together
And pledged their love forever

Dream Away

DREAM AWAY
Looking down as you sit by my side
I watch your eyes
Staring through the window
As the sun lights up the sky
Standing empty underneath the clouds
Behind the trees
Where the river bends
A fairground wheel rocks in the breeze
Dream away
You're a dream away
Dream away
You're a dream away
At the moment I could see how far
You've let things go
I could feel the silence
Turn the light inside my soul
Dream away
You're a dream away
Dream away
You're a dream away
Dream away
Dream away

Aislinn

AISLINN
With your eyes the same blue
As the late winter sky
Next to mine gazing up
At the birds flying by
Wonder what you're thinking of
Aislinn
Getting closer to your love
Aislinn
In a town still asleep
On a day just begun
Looking down at the boats
Near the bank in the sun
Wonder what you're thinking of
Aislinn
Getting closer to your love
Aislinn
With your eyes the same blue
As the late winter sky
Next to mine gazing up
At the birds flying by

The Wheel

THE WHEEL
People's faces in the air
As I wander about
Something in my soul
That has to find its own way out
This time it's my turn
This time it's my turn
Just before I left
I saw her face was turned away
Caught up in a whirlpool
I will understand one day
This time it's my turn
This time it's my turn
How slow the heart learns
This time it's my turn
In her hand the answer
To the way that I now feel
Nothing left for me to do
But stand before the wheel
Watching it slow down
Watching it slow down
Not long to go now
Watching it slow down
Numbers blurring and the colours
Melting into one
Waking from a spinning dream
I see that that I have won
This time it's my turn
This time it's my turn
How slow the heart learns
This time it's my turn

Tear Down the Sails

TEAR DOWN THE SAILS
Tear down the sails
I won't be sailing anymore
Tear down the sails
I won't be sailing anymore
With my heart upon the ocean wide
And my eyes upon the distant bay
I'm returning now before the tide
Rocks tumbling down
The mountain I climb in my dreams
Rocks tumbling down
The mountain I climb in my dreams
With my heart upon the ocean wide
And my eyes upon the distant bay
I'm returning now before the tide
With the evening light
Lighting up my way
Time's lullaby
Its echo whispering on the waves
Time's lullaby
Its echo whispering on the waves
With my heart upon the ocean wide
And my eyes upon the distant bay
I'm returning now before the tide
With the evening light
Lighting up my way
Tear down the sails
I won't be sailing anymore
Tear down the sails
I won't be sailing anymore

In the Cool Night

IN THE COOL NIGHT
We don't have much time
To try to understand
We'll be gone before the morning
Saying this she took his hand
You're the shadow, I'm the moonlight
Let us dance now in the cool night
And when dawn arrives?
He asked her with a smile
Maybe we'll be back tomorrow
When the sun no longer shines
You're the shadow, I'm the moonlight
Was her answer
You're the shadow, I'm the moonlight
Let us dance now in the cool night
In the cool night
You're the shadow, I'm the moonlight
Let us dance now in the cool night

Black Mountain Blue

BLACK MOUNTAIN BLUE
With the sun going down
I write this upon the stone
I don't have any flowers
Or prayers I can call my own
Just the sun in my eyes
And the morning light
When the North Star fades tonight
In the silence of the hillside
Watching the world move on
Out of her view
I would like her to see
The light touching on the grass
How the two lovers smile
Their faces bright as they pass
Like the sun in their eyes
And the morning light
When the North Star fades tonight
In the silence of the hillside
Watching them walk along
On their way through
For the whole day I lingered on
Black Mountain blue
Just the sun in my eyes
And the morning light
When the North Star fades tonight
In the silence of the hillside
Watching the world move on
Out of her view
For the whole day I lingered on
Black Mountain blue

TILL THE MORNING LIGHT
Standing on a mountain high there is no doubt
Looking at the valley wide I can see now
After searching all this time where it is I'm bound
Somewhere on the distant plain she is walking
Somewhere in my weary brain she is talking
From the heavens as the rain whispers on the ground
So I will leave her in the sky
To linger till the morning light
Something she was setting free as she left then
Something that I could not see for myself
When she reminded me the key was in my own hand
Turning to the fading sun going under
In my heart the light is strong and I wonder
Does she know the night is young and in my command
So I will leave her in the sky
To linger till the morning light
Till the morning light
Till the morning light
