The Viking’s Daughter It was you and I, and the moon on the water Sailing away beneath a sequined sky You stood upon the prow, you were the Viking’s daughter As wild as the waves, as dark as the night And I was in awe of your primeval beauty Framed by the moon you were a jewel on a pearl And I was at war with a primitive notion My heart was a drum as I steered the course Chorus And all I could do was to plead with great Odin Have pity on this tillerman at war with the notion That if I was to take you this night on the ocean I’d surely die by your father’s sword Your silky tresses danced upon the sea breeze Golden lashes to whip the fire up in me Your satin skin was silver in the moonlight So precious a thing could light any man’s flame Chorus And all I could do was to plead with great Odin Have pity on this tillerman at war with the notion That if I was to take you this night on the ocean I’d gladly die by your father’s sword You had summoned me to sail you out to greet him Your father returning to these shores When perchance a humble fisherman in haste came-a-bleatin’ Your father has died by the sword It was then that you fell into my arms a-wailing Like a banshee crying take me I’m yours For I’ve felt your heart’s desire, your lust and your fire An a man is a fool who lives by the sword Chorus And all I could do was to plead with great Odin Ah me a humble tillerman, I was wrapped in the notion In our thunder lust and fire out there on the ocean That great Thor himself had surely climbed aboard

Where Eagles Fly I’ve been sitting here since day break Ah it’s good to get awaySpend the day Where eagles fly On this blowy fell side under changing skies I lie Watching eagles fly And sparkling down below The Chrystal stream does flow Sending sound waves to heaven as she goes An four thousand feet above Embraced in their flight of love they glide Two lovers of the sky Chorus Fly on you golden you prince of the sky As I lie here entranced in the magic as you glide And time, it just floats by Where eagles fly And a raven breaks the skyline And rides the scented breeze And then tumbles and is lost against the screes And the sheep that dots the fell side Cry easy on my mind like echo From some long gone time And downstream the lake serene Reflects upon this wondrous scene Like mirror, like a mirror of my dreams And high above two lovers ride the thermals Of this northern sky As time it just floats by Where eagles fly Chorus Fly on you golden you prince of the sky As I lie here entranced in the magic as you glide And time, it just floats by Where eagles fly Fly on you golden you prince of the sky As I lie here entranced in the magic as you glide And time, it just floats by Where eagles fly

Come the Springtime Out of winter’s ruined mess Comes springtime fearless and fresh To clothe a sullen broken scene In shades of glowing green And how we dream all winter long Of the coming of the swallow To sow the seed of hope again In springtime’s fragrant furrow Chorous Come the springtime, come she will To bathe the earth in flowers Come the springtime, come she will And another year will be ours She’ll fill your eyes with sweet surprise And pull you from the mire Replenish with her sweet breath The embers of your fire And how we dream all winter long In colours gold and green Of fanfares in the shire And a cuckoo calling through the April rain Chorous Come the springtime, come she will To bathe the earth in flowers Come the springtime, come she will And another year will be ours So we smile with winter past And spring she laughs, her spell is cast To free us from the icy blast Of winters cold dark shadow And how we dream all winter long Of the lark ascending with the sun Joyous in triumphant song that all is well Now winter’s been and gone Chorous Come the springtime, come she will To bathe the earth in flowers Come the springtime, come she will And another year will be ours Repeat Chorous ... And hope again will be ours

Making the Morning Last Lock the door, come back to bed Let’s lay a while instead We’ve got nothing to get up for as they say Let’s have a lazy day A ray of sun peeps through the blind To tell us that the morning’s fine But it can wait, we’ll leave our troubles Hanging on the gate Chorous While we’re making the morning last Gonna make it shine because time Moves much too fast Precious moments like these Too soon become the past So we’ll make the morning - make the morning last Repeat Chorous after break Nowhere to go nothing to do Nowhere I’d rather be than here with you Hear the birds outside the window They’re singing like they feel the same way too We’ll meet the day as it unfolds Just like a butterfly with colours untold And when the morning she’s done We’ll rise and we’ll kiss the mid-day sun Repeat Chorous

Wonderful Day It’s a wonderful day Don’t ask me why It’s just the way that I’m feeling So good that I could fly On my emotions I’m reeling and tumbling And I’m dreaming like a child Chorous Yes it’s just one of those days So don’t mind if I smile At everything and every passer by If I could inhale all the darkness in your days I’d share with you the light that’s in mine It’s a wonderful day Repeat Chorous It’s a beautiful day Don’t go painting it gray These days don’t last forever It’s just the way the weather It blows Around my mind from time to time Repeat Chorous You in that dress With the sun in your eyes Glowing like a princess Me glowing like a child Too tongue tied to tell you how I feel Can you see it in my smile Repeat Chorous

Country Song I’d like to live in the country I’d like you to come along And we could spend our lives together Away from all that’s wrong With the world and all its humdrum ways It’s making me crazy We could go organic with no more panic We’ll get up as the rooster crows the day Chorous I don’t wanna be washed up and washed I’ve been in overdrive too long Had my fill of life’s over hill Wouldn’t it be nice If we could be still We could walk in sun drenched lanes On lazy summer days And gaze out on the green and pleasant From old sash windows framed And watch the summer rain in all its glory Making our garden grow And we could spend long lazy afternoons Sipping wine on the patio Repeat Chorous Middle We could take it nice and slow Get back in the flow Take some time to stand and stare And drink that country air like wine All our autumns will be golden With smiling yellow moons And in winter time love we’ll be fine In our coal fire womb And in the morning when that rooster crows And sweet songs fill the air We’ll just smile and lay a while And drink the sweet dawn fanfare Repeat Chorous

Don’t Care About Tomorrow Don’t care about tomorrow Because I feel so good today I’ got music running through my soul And I’m high on the breath of the day Well it may be rain tomorrow Or it could rain today There ain’t nothing like dancing in the rain When it’s going your way Chorous Cos’ there’s so much trouble in living sometimes You gotta grab it with both hands Kiss the day when your sun shines Forget about tomorrow 'cos tomorrow’s such long long time All the trees may die tomorrow All the rivers may run dry That’s just the way it is, It’s all one We’re just the blinking of an eye Middle But if you can see grace in a falling leaf If you can see heaven in a flower If you can smile on a rainy day You’re gonna sail through tomorrow anyway Repeat Chorous Got no plans for tomorrow Until tomorrow comes around A wise man said Always sleep with your cup turned to the ground Repeat Chorous

Night Circus 03:59
Night Circus, see the clowns It’s only the price of a night on the town See the freaks at midnight, howl at the moon Eye spinning like the loony toons Tigers in sequins steal the show With their mannacured claws, better mind how you go They prowl in the lights, burning so bright They can melt you with one look and steal you with one bite Chorous So roll up, roll up, the neon’s are coming on Roll up, roll up, and you can join the crazy throng Roll up, roll up, the Show lasts all night long And you can be the main attraction At the night circus The crack of the whip in the hands of a loon Looks like a penguin on steroids, God help the baboon Who gets under his skin, the fireworks begin You’re never gonna know What the night circus is gonna bring Middle And you better hold onto your inhibitions And you better have you a strong disposition Or you’re gonna be the main attraction At the night circus

Oh winding river I’ve got nowhere to go So I’ll just sit and watch your crystal water flow Because my love she flew in the blackness of the night As certain as a swallow in her flight Chorous And I’m tired of misty mornings I’m tired of gray days I’m tired of these sleepless nights Oh river will you wash my blues away Will you wash my blues away And I’m all tied up inside My heart is fit to bleed I’m a troubled man; I’m a man in need But it’s peaceful here as your soothing waters flow To listen to your tune as on you go Repeat Chorous Oh winding river won’t you carry me away I’ve got no need to stay around here no more Carry me away and out into the open sea And I’ll just drift off to some sunny distant shore Last Chorous And there’ll be no more misty mornings No more gray days No more sleepless nights Like driftwood I’ll just float away

One Day 04:50
Still water, that’s where I wanna be One day this raging river i gonna set me free And I’ll remember how it feels Remember how it feels to feel To feel a warm embrace To feel the sweet breath of the day on my face One Day .... Blue skies, that’s where I’m gonna fly One day these clouds of delusion are gonna sail on by And there’ll be nothing but blue sky And I’m gonna be soaring so high Like an eagle I’ll be free Like a blind man so touched that he can see One Day .... Solid ground, I’m gonna lay my burdens down One day on solid ground, fly away without a sound So weightless and free Into a honeysuckle sunset symphony And leave you and your crazy race Blinded by the honeysuckle smile upon my face One Day ....

He turns his collar to the icy wind As the bell tolls for time again He stumbles staggers and sways All alone on his weary way He stalls a while beneath the sycamore tree Caught by a falling leaf That holds and confines, a ghost to remind him Of her face and the sweet memories Chorous And it’s the age old never again As the cold night cuts to his skin And Shanks’s pony don’t wanna go home Oh no not another long lonely Crooked mile home Middle And every nights been the same since she went away Losers in love play desperate games But this time he thought it was real The way she used to say do you feel like I feel Repeat Chorous He sees her face interlaced with a blackbird’s tune That sings in the light of the icy full moon But its sweet song just cuts to the core In the silence of his open door Last Chorous And he sighs Oh no never again As the silence cuts to his bones And he knows come tomorrow He’ll beg steal or borrow And it’s gonna be another long lonely Crooked mile home It’s gonna be another long lonely crooked mile home
