The Western Shore
03:27

A western shore and an eastern wind
All my troubles coming back again
Seems like I don’t even have a friend
On the western shore
A stone age heart and a broken mind
Blue sorry skies cover up my crime
And all I ever find is human kind
On the western shore
Cold memories come from habits of the heart
Cold morning hours they steal you in the dark
A man of sorrow wouldn’t get this far
On the western shore
and I’ve seen it all before
I know the way the world can let you go
I know the way the world can look at you
And leave you here on the western shore
One day
I know the world will try to let me go
I know the way the world can look at you
And let you loose on the western shore
My suffering is like a ship on the sea
I couldn’t get to where you wanted me to be
I couldn’t wait for you to set me down
on the western shore
I curse the darkness a thousand times
No candle burning can stop me being so blind
No sweet redemption can ride these waves
On the western shore (chorus)
Some rolling thunder off the western shore
Sometimes I wonder where I was before
my troubles and I will wash away
From the western shore
The western shore

I run tomorrow
With the dogs of Cairo
Through the streets of the city
And the sorrow and the pity
In the eyes of the lovers
In the drains and the gutters
With the stars up above us
Been on strange mountains
Every day of my life
Been on strange mountains
In the dark and the light
Every day of my life
In the dark and the light
Been on strange mountains
I dream of the others
In the arms of another
in the land of the living
in the heat of the giving
in the rush of the shadows
of the holy believers
at the birth of a nation
by the side of the highway
on the tongues of the prophets
I’ve been on strange mountains
Every day of my life
Every day of my life
I crawl with the creatures
In the backstreets of time
In the noise of the future
In the shadow of the blind
In the hush of the hunger
By the sideshow of heaven
In the crush of the numbers
In a world that is trying

Look At Me Now
04:12
|
|||
Tonight the night time will forget the world
Only the blind can look up and see the stars
Only the wind in my memory
Will bring my life back to me
Tonight the night time will forget the day
Only this train we’re on can find its way
Only the light in the universe
Has the chance to get there first
Look at me now
And I don’t want the whole world to know
That my life is this side of the road
And I don’t want the whole world to see
That my boat’s on this part of the sea
There are things that come early and late
There are times when you have to wait
I’ve got a friend up in Montreal
Maybe I’ll give him a call
And that’s the way that things are my friend
Sometimes I’m on the losing end
And if my heart didn’t wait for me
If my eyes didn’t look to see (chorus)
Look at me now; look at me now
Tonight the night time will forget the world
Only you and I here can see these stars
The wind blows through my memory
The wind knows what life meant to me
Now it’s time to begin again
Make the best of the worst my friend
And if your life doesn’t wait for you
If your world doesn’t walk you through

Mother Hurry
04:28
|
|
||
Which way I should go
Which arm I should throw
Which life I should take
Which life I should show
When will I be all my self
Mother hurry; hurry mother
Mother hurry
Mother hurry; hurry mother
Mother hurry
What should I believe
Who should I adore
What should I confront
What should I ignore
When will I be all my self
You can’t criticize what you just don’t like
You can’t criticize if you won’t climb down the mountain
And I’ve been told there’s a heart of gold
But it must be a prisoner
And I’ve been told there’s nothing we can do
When the people are forsaken
Mother hurry (chorus)
With you I should love
With you I should hold
With you I should live beside
With you I should know
When I will be all my self
You can’t criticize what you just don’t like
You can’t criticize if you won’t climb down the mountain
And I’ve been told there’s a heart of gold
But it must be a prisoner
And I’ve been told there’s nothing we can do
When the people are forsaken
Mother hurry (chorus)

What It Is You Are
04:34
|
|
||
Sometimes I think I hear a siren in my soul
Racing through the hills of doom
Sometimes I think I have a snowdrift in my mind
Freezing through my thoughts and dreams
Sometimes I think I go on a journey to when
When life fits inside the distance
Sometimes I think I see an exit to the future
When you sit beside the morning
What it is you got
What it is you’re not
What it is you are
Sometimes I think I lost a sunshine universe
Falling below my human being
Sometimes I think I give my sovereignty away
Making me a lonely country
Sometimes I think I’d be an interesting man
Breaking waves before they hit me
What it is you got
What it is you’re not
What it is you are
Sometimes I think that I was torn from the love of God
Born and banished from the light
Sometimes I think I feel you busy in my bloodstream
Being what it is you are, being what it is you are
What it is you got
What it is you’re not
What it is you are
What it is you are

The Wrong Side
03:13
|
|
||
Did the things I do on my way to find the world
Crucify my dreams, terminate my breath,
And turn away the sun
Did my heart break into the night
Did my heart wait up for the light
Of the new dawn
Did the ones I hold on my way to know the truth
Penetrate the hurt, open up the wound
Bring the house down
Does the love go into the world
Does the love show on to the sky
Of the new dawn
Yes, I’m on the wrong side
Yes, I’m on the wrong side
I’m on the wrong side
Did the things I say on my way to see the light
Desecrate your love, laminate my soul
Shoot down the stars
Did my life turn into a crash
Did my life go out in a flash
Now it’s all gone (chorus)
And you come to a point of no return
On the wrong side of the mountain
And you get to a place where love won’t burn
On the wrong side of the mountain

There's A Northern Sky
04:11
|
|
||
Haven’t you got lonely in your heart
Are your feelings dark
Is the northern sky for you?
Haven’t you got angels in your town
Are your feelings down
Is the drowning world for you?
There’s a northern sky to help your kind
There’s a northern sky to change your mind
And I would not want to say
When the rain clouds come your way
Will you just try to disappear
Into the comfort of God and fear?
Or the northern sky
Haven’t you got sorry in your sight
Are your feelings right
Is the April wine for you?
Haven’t you got freedom in your mind
Is your thinking blind
Is there human kind for you?
There’s a northern sky to help your kind
There’s a northern sky to change your mind
And I would not want to say
When the rain clouds come your way
Will you just try to disappear
Into the comfort of God and fear?
Or the northern sky
Haven’t you got reason in your thought
Are your feelings bought
Is the northern sky for you?
Haven’t you got kindness in your eye’s
Are your feelings wise
Is the devils lake for you?
There’s a northern sky to save your kind
There’s a northern sky to change your mind
And I would not want to stay
When the rain clouds come your way
Will you just try to disappear
Into the comfort of God and fear?
Or the northern sky
The northern sky

Something For The Sea
03:57
|
|

You’re the reason for my life on earth
You’re the face that fills my morning time
And I’m not going to let you go
You know I already know
That you’ve got something for the sea
And I loved the way you tried to see me
And you loved the way I tried to be
And we both have heaven here to hold us
And we both have something for the sea
You’re the low tide I was waiting for
You’re the warm sun on my winter mind
And I’m not going to let you go down
Tomorrows already been found
And you’ve got something for the sea
And I loved the way you tried to see me
And you loved the way I tried to be
And we both have heaven here to hold us
And we both have something for the sea
You’re the reason I was spoken for
You’re the blue sky for my butterfly
And I don’t want to watch you turn dark
Sinking fast with a broken heart
leaving something for the sea
And I loved the way you tried to see me
And you loved the way I tried to be
And we both have heaven here to hold us
And we both have something for the sea
And we both have something for the sea

My World To Be
04:57
|
|
||
Tell me now, what I did to you
How I stole your life; what I put you through
And show me now, how the world won’t wait
Where it dropped you off; when it heard you hate
What I did to you
Let me know, what you do to live
How you keep on going; what you can’t forgive
And though I can change into something human
I can’t give back what I took from you
In my world to be
I’m a long way from free
There’s no sun to shine
On my winter mind
In my world to be
I’m a long way from me
It’s all gone
My world to be
I can die; go fast and slow
Break every window; fade out and go
And I can live; below and above
Believe every vision; every minute of love (chorus)
Tel me now, what I did to you
What I put you through
I came on like a wrecking ball
Swung in hard and made you fall
I didn’t think of you, at all
So tell me now, will you find your way
To come out of the shadow, and see the day
I can try to turn into stone
Stop my heart beating; leave the world alone
In my world to be
I’m a long way from free
There’s no sun to shine
On my winter mind
In my world to be
I’m a long way from me
It’s all wrong
My world to be
It’s all gone
My world ... to be
My world to be ... (fade out)

I need you here so don’t say no; I’ll take you back to Mexico
I know I shot the future full of holes
I took your life too seriously; like trying to solve a mystery
Remember how we used to wreck the dawn
Well the dawn fell down the well but the story will sell
You could use that money for a rainy day
You can close your eyes when the sun gets tired of the sky
I tell you what, in another year; I’ll take you back to Monastir
Remember how we used to see the stars?
Don’t you want to know how I travel through time?
Like the thought you have on your mind
I’m thought about from time to time
Like the smile I see on your face
I try to go from place to place
Like the look you have in your eye
I go as far and then I die
And if there’s a broken heart to find
That’s how I travel through time
You came along like every day that comes along and does not stay
You left your broken records in the street
You used to play them back to back; gave that old lady a heart attack
Remember how we used to find the world?
And there’s nowhere left to go
No matter how far I travel through time
There’s nowhere left to go
Without you here with me
No matter how far I travel through time
There’s no one left to be
I saw it all from the point of view that living life was loving you
And failing that was always on the cards
I took your words too literally; took you love enthusiastically
Remember when we used to reach the top
Well the top fell down the well but the story won’t sell
It’s too old hat; not fresh from hell
It’s all I have to wear when I come here
I put these flowers on your grave
For my peace of mind and to find my way
Remember how we met the morning sun?
Don’t you want to know how to travel through time?
Like the thoughts you had on your mind
You’re thought about from time to time
Like the smile I saw on your face
I’ll carry you from place to place
Like the look I saw in your eye
I’ll go as far and then I’ll die
And if there’s a broken heart to find
That’s how to travel through time
That’s how I travel through time
