Beneath Our Feet

2014-11-17 11.26.12.jpg

Every flower that smiles in spring
Every blade of grass that sings
Comes from her
Comes from her grows up your spine
Whispers sweetly you're divine
Born of the earth

Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet

Mighty oak, morning dew
Sleepy valley, bluebell hue
Watch the birth
Still lake, mirrored soul
as above so below
The sound of the earth

Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet

See how she held us, wild Northern soul
Coastland and moorland
Place we call home, call her home
Call her home

See how she kept us age upon age
New born and elder, page upon page, 
Upon page, upon page

Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet

Take the earth beneath your feet
In the place where angels sleep
The mighty church
Deep inside her heavenly bower
Grows an everlasting flower
Abiding Love
Beneath our feet
Beneath our feet

Call of the wild goose, flight of the swan
Out on the Solway sing an earth song
Earth song

Can't Tell The River

Look out on the world tonight
Sailing on her way
See her starry firmament
See her starry train

Guiding, guiding star
Guiding, guiding star

Can't tell the river which way to flow
Can't tell a flower how to grow
Can't tell the wind which way to blow
Can't tell a snowflake how to be snow

Precious pearl of blue and white in her shawl of peace
Bathing in the Northern Lights, wonders never cease

Guiding, guiding star
Guiding, guiding star

Chorus

Maybe I, maybe I'll fall in love with you
Maybe I won't
Maybe I, maybe I 'll fall in love with you
Maybe I won't

Chorus 

Can't Wait To See You Tonight

Can't wait to see you tonight
Under the open sky, free as you like
Can't wait to be where you are
On some distant planet, some lonely star
This feeling inside
Has given me nowhere to hide
Starry sky, midnight blue, diamond light, silver moon
Can't say, don't know why
You give me butterflies
Winter sun left the sky, 
Saw her leave, made me cry
Take me in, keep me dry
Take me to paradise
Can't wait to see you tonight

Where will I find you this night
In these cities of doorways, cities of light
Where we walk in disguise
Like we're nothing and no-one, 
With dust in our eyes
This feeling inside
Has given me nowhere to hide
Starry sky, midnight blue, diamond light, silver moon
Can't say, don't know why
You give me butterflies
Winter sun left the sky
Saw her leave, made me cry
Take me in, keep me dry
Take me paradise
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to see you
Can't wait to see you tonight

Tractors and farmers gathering hay
Up at the old Crown singing the day
Top of the world where the yellow gorse graze
Time slips away
          
The life tranquil
Over the hill
Over the hill and far away

Heavens open sky torn asunder
Feel the earth as she's bouncing with rain
Heavens open with the rolling of thunder
Over the hill
Over the hill and far away

Blossoming cherry tree
Spring in the air
The course of the Ellen
The fox in her lair
Hanging the flags out
To pretty the square
Hope I'll be seeing you there

Life tranquil, over the hill
Over the hill and far
Heavens open the sky torn asunder
Feel the earth as she's bouncing with rain
Heavens open with the rolling of thunder
Over the hill
Over the hill and far away

Damsel fly darting a dragonfly dance
Here and now gone like summer romance

Time stands still
Over the hill
Over the hill and far away
Heavens open, sky torn asunder
Feel the earth as she's bouncing with rain
Heavens open with the rolling of thunder
Over the hill
Over the hill and far away

Glory Wings

Take heart the river runs so deep
She'll laugh and sing and dance
She'll wash your faery feet
Clear shining silver stream
She'll make you smile
Unfurl your faery wings and fly

Hush, hush, hear the world go by
Don't pay her any heed
Don't pay her any mind
Take to the grass and dream
Take to the sky
Unfurl your faery wings and fly

The Howk.jpg

Hail the new day dawning
Hail the new born light
Hail the clear bright morning
Hail the one who shines
Hail the sun being sworn in
Hail the crimson sky
Unfurl your glory wings and fly

Take heart the silver moon is full
Here with these standing stones
Her light ethereal
Here with these standing stones
Here with the wise
Unfurl your faery wings and fly

Chorus

Haste Ye Back

I know you have to leave this place
You've got your heart set on it
All the world is waiting now
Go make your mark upon it
I can see you far away
In strange and distant lands
Remember you belong to us
When freedom takes a stand

Haste ye back to me
Haste ye back to me
A welcome cup will find your hand
When you return to me

When you tire of wanderlust
Tire of stranger's faces
Find your heart yearning for old familiar places
Wonder what they're doing now
Those you call your own
You find yourself at journey's end
Heading out for home

Chorus

All the roads lead back to home
Our lives all interwoven
Climbing branches search for light
Buds awake and open
The river's wild meandering
From babbling brook to sea
The wanderer returns at last
At last the soul is free

Haste ye back to me
Haste ye back to me
We'll sing the song together
Together we will be
Haste ye back to me
Haste ye back to me
The welcome cup will find your hand
When you return to me 

Lookout Mountain

Lookout Mountain Can't Tell The River.jpg

Doesn't really matter what shape I'm in
Doesn't really matter if the sky falls in
We got it all on Lookout Mountain

High up on the thermals on a summer breeze
Wind is blowing softly through the lauryl leaves
We got it all on Lookout Mountain

Now we're talking wonderland
With a water fountain
Now we're talking wonderland
On Lookout Mountain

I can see forever on a clear blue sky
Watch the children growing
There'll be no goodbyes
That's how it is on Lookout Mountain

See the crickets swaying as they play along
Hummingbirds are humming the sweetest song
We've got it all on Lookout Mountain

Now we're talking wonderland
With a water fountain
Now we're talking wonderland
On Lookout Mountain

We got it all
We got it all
We got it all

Don't Go (The Parting)

Don't go, before you say goodbye
Don't go across the rolling Tyne

Watch the wild geese flying over to their winter home
Feel an east wind blowing colder, coming from the coast
Holding hands in the gutter lost you on the road
The heart, she knows

Chorus

Don't Go Can't Tell The River.jpg

When it's time to leave the party, when it's time to go
Don't you disappear like magic, with the melting snow
All the parts and all the players, standing in a row
The heart, she knows

Chorus

See the night in all her splendour, hear the siren's tone
Seeing stars, I wait here while they let my brother know
Singing songs of sleepless sailors, singing songs of home
The heart, she knows

Chorus

Don't go, don't go
In the everlasting dream, there is only light
I will hold you in my arms, countless blessings bright
I will see you in my dreams, we will meet again
Wait for me upon the bridge, there will be no end

The Song of Songs

Moon maidens dance, stars are on fire
Planets are waltzing to heavenly choirs
Visions of Venus in velveteen dress
Lighting the lantern of love

Let us be lovers
Let us lay down
Let us be lovers as one
Let us be lovers
Let us lay down
Sing me the song of songs

Storm in her teacup, too much to say
Let go the world and her whittling ways
Heartfelt and tender  
The kingdom awaits
Under the lamplight of love

Chorus twice

Sword and Shield

There are no words to make you see
The trouble you have wrought to me
Are no words to make you understand
Trouble is as trouble does
Words like poisoned rivers run
There are no words to make you understand

When the river sang with rain
Washed me off my feet again
When the sky was heavy as my heart
Easy picking, easy prey
There is no honour in this way
There are no words to make you understand

Grow roots like a great oak tree
Grow wings like a bird I'll be
Take flight over land and sea
Truth will set me free
Give me my sword
Give me my shield
Take my place on the battlefield
Kicking up dirt on a tall white steed
Truth will set me free
Kicking up dirt on a tall white steed
Truth will set me free

Hold, hold the banners high
Hear the silver trumpet cry
We shall hear the sounding bell prevail
Hear the lark and her lilting song
Hallowed halls where we belong
Up on the mountain, in the vale

Chorus
Red, red the rambling rose
White, white the lily grows
Red, red the bonny Rowan tree
Red, red the rambling rose,
White, white the lily grows
Red, red the bonny Rowan tree
Red, red the bonny Rowan tree

Waterfall

DSCN7439 (2).jpg

Will you enchant me, will I be taken
By art that is faceless, love that's mistaken
Will you caress me with charm I can't see
Set me adrift on the wild rolling sea

Mystery brought you, mystery knows
Why would I wish to be wearing your clothes
Fool, you're a fool, all my friends say to me
Whiter than innocence, blue as the sea

When the heart speaks
Will you listen
When she comes to call
In the silence
In the moment
Hear the waterfall

Abracadabra, how worlds are turning
Libraries ancient, books full of learning
Natural magic flows through the air
Grows in the flowers and falls through my hair

Mr Rodriguez, a gambler by trade
Pays for his love with the monies he's made
A dealer in fortune, a dealer in chance
Spanish the gold, tango the dance

Chorus

Under the wide branching sweet mango tree
Sovereign and certain, in halcyon ease
Sweet bardic songstress, songbird of love
Sings to Pleadian stars up above

Verses in Persian, of Omar Khayamn
Knights medieval, courtly romance
Sunwashed and rose pink, in Paradise square
Doors to Nirvana, world without care

Chorus

Waterfall
Waterfall
Hear the water

The One You Love

Who am I to be the one
Gets to see the morning sun
As she first appears in the sky
Learns to fly, to spread her wings
Gets to hear the bluebell ring
Gets to see the river flowing by
Hey, hey my soul's desire
Hey, hey my heart's on fire
Who am I to get to be the one
Who am I to be the one you love
Who am I to hold your hand
Take you to the promised land
Who am I to be a favourite son
Gets to be your favourite girl
Gets to know your secret world
Who am I to get to be the one
Who am I to be the one you love
Gets to be go lightly girl
Watching all her dreams unfurl
Gets to sing a lilting lullaby
Gets to see the setting sun
Where Solway greys and rabbits run
Who am I to get to be the one
Who am I to be the one you love

Come Fly Away With Me

Sun and the moon Can't Tell The River.jpg

Said there were roses in her hair
Colours and moonbeams, she never knew were there
She came up for air
Bought her a new dress
Taught her to dare
No everyday blue jeans
No everyday fare
A flower so rare

Come fly away with me
The sun and the moon we'll be
He said come fly away with me
The sun and the moon we'll be

Made her a carpet woven in words
Of gold and of silver, colours unheard
She flew like a bird
Called her my lovely wild faery queen
Surrounded by mist,
Surrounded by sea
Of field and of forest
Beautiful sprite
Come to me by day
Come to me by night
My day and my night

Chorus x 3

Said there were roses in her hair
