Dark Island

Away to the westward I'm longing to be
Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea
Where the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free
On a hill top high above the dark Island
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon the dark Island
True gem of the Hebrides bathed in the light
of the midsummer dawning that follows the night
How I yearn for the cries of the seagulls in flight
As they circle high above the dark Island
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon the dark Island
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
When I'm back, once more upon the dark Island

Well I wish I was a apple hanging from a tree
everytime my Cindy passed she'd take a little bite of me
get along home Cindy, Cindy, get along home
get along home Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
Well I wish I had a needle and thread as long as I could sew
I'd sew my Cindy to my side and down the road I'd go
get along home Cindy, Cindy, get along home
get along home Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
Well it's apples in the summertime, its peaches in the fall
if I cant have the girl I love I wont have none at all
get along home Cindy, Cindy, get along home
get along home Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
Well Cindy is my honey, she's the sweetest in the south
when we'd kiss the bees would all swarm around our mouth
get along home Cindy, Cindy, get along home
get along home Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
Well Cindy hugged and kissed me so I hung my head and cried
I swear she was the prettiest thing that ever lived or died
get along home Cindy, Cindy, get along home
get along home Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
Well Cindy's got religion, she's had it once before
She grabbed my old banjo and she threw it on the floor
get along home Cindy, Cindy, get along home
get along home Cindy, Cindy, I'll marry you one day
I'll marry you one day, I'll marry you one day

Dream Catcher
02:54
|

Why did I tie myself to your heel
quickly forgot what was real
started sinking down below
dragging me everywhere you go
why didn't I cut the rope, before I choke
I helped you climb up the ladder
kicked me in the mouth when I came up after
left a permanent mark
scarred my face, don't get me started on my heart
it's torn a part
My dreams hang right in front of me
from this old, dying tree
if they ripen and fall
I'll be there to catch them all
If I had you, it wouldn't be an issue
You are my dream catcher
no happily ever after
chew them right in front of me
when I close my eyes it's all I see

Parting Gift
03:06
|

Gave you a camera when we parted ways
fresh roll of film I wouldn't be in it anyway
the photographs you take can't beat the times we've had
for that reason, I'm infinitely sad
Every time it flashes I loose my sight
put on my sunglasses cause it's to bright
what you don't realise is they hide my tears as well, honey dear
I feel my heart sting
constant shell shock it rings
through the lens you will never see my face,
see my face again
Red light goes on the room is dark
the spool is empty and so is my heart
face emerges from the tray, photographs age with the memories
Gifts are given all the time
the camera was yours but never mine
maybe one day we will pass it on
but by then I'll be gone
I feel my heart sting
constant shell shock it rings
through the lens you will never see my face
I feel my heart sting
constant shell shock it rings
through the lens you will never see my face,
see my face again

Cold

I know you're his ball and chain
I can't wait its driving me insane
Its getting cold, here outside your door
At first it was worth the wait
But now it is getting late
Its getting cold, here outside your door
What is it they say
Good things come to those who wait
If you've got patience can you throw some my way
Please let me in
I can tell you that it's warm inside
How do you know
I've been in once or twice, it's nice
Being by your side
One day we will all agree
Carefree
We wont have to wait and see
What's going to happen to you and me
What is it they say
Good things come to those who wait
If you've got patience can you throw some my way
Please let me in
What is it they say
Good things come to those who wait
If you've got patience can you throw some my way
Please let me in

Rain Song

Rain, rain go away
come again another day
stay away, stay at bay
When clouds cry
I hang my head and sigh
knowing that I may have been the cause
Rain,rain still the same
Hitting off my windowpane
Driving me insane
When clouds cry
I hang my head and sigh
Knowing that I may have been the cause
Rain, rain go away come again another day
Rain, rain go away come again another day
Rain, rain go away come again another day
