One summer's day
Sun was shining fine
The lady love of old Bill Bailey
Hanging clothes on the line
Hanging clothes on the line
And breathing hard
She married a broke man
That took her further down
Come home
Bill Bailey
Come home
Bill drive to the door
In an automobile
A great big diamond coach and footman
Hear that lady scream
And through the door
“Bailey! Are you sore?”
Bill just winked his eye
As he heard her cry
“Remember the evening
I drove you out
Nothing but a fine toothed comb..”
“That crowd!”
She yelled
Out loud
She moans the whole day long

Sailing away from a world of pain
On a dream boat
On a breeze to a place where
we are free
I close my eyes I can see the ocean
I’m letting you go and moving on
You said you wouldn't want me to cry
I promise you ever day
I’m glad we never said goodbye
But we will never be the same again
One day we’ll say our last goodbye
Let me paint another end
Where the sun sets
We gotta live with the consequence
Of our tale
I close my eyes and I can see the curtain
The show is over, I'm moving on
You said you wouldn't want me to cry
I promise you ever day
I’m glad we never said goodbye
But we will never be the same again
One day we’ll say our last goodbye
We gotta move on
Our love’s gone
Every ends a new beginning, so they say

Here we shine
Beacons of the night
One more port of call
Before the fog comes
You keep up hope
When we know there's none alive
Time to pull the plug
Or we overflow
Gotta do right to say that it's over
If your counting out again
If your counting out to ten
Gotta do right to say that it's over
More cliches
More songs about the sea
These three minutes
Last a lifetime
I’ve tried them all
Sometimes successfully
The dead horses
Outweigh the live ones
If your feeling with your phone
Then your dancing all alone
If your stuck there with your pen
Than we never should be friends

The Lighthouse

Im gonna get this over with
We’ve been stuck in the sea too long
If you don't do it in your own life
Then you’ll always be bobbing along
This is the minute to understand
If you like it or not you are lost
This is the minute to understand
You’re a victim of wanderlust
And you think that the pulses and flashes will guide you
They only mark the time
It's never the ones who see the lighthouse
It's only the sea that brings you home
I'd like to take god's money
And keep St.Brendan on my side
I’ll get some ink to help survive the drink
And leave the sirens to the tide
This is the minute to take off your hat
And throw it overboard
But I know it's the flow that takes me where I go
No peril, no reward
You can look for the beacons
For the lost souls in the dark
The sea has got your back
We’ll take the water
When it comes out of our eyes
Sand or stones don't matter
If you beat the tide
Realise where you came from
Then find your ground legs
Just enjoy the ride

Time Of Undoing
05:04
|
|||
|
Just give me the reins for a lifetime
I can’t wait for it to come any faster
When you’re struck by the reason I haunt you
Any soldier on earth could have sold you that
This is the night
This is the light
This is the time
Of undoing
I played all the cards in silence
Can't hear the back door when it's knocking
This goes through in the naked hollow
Any other fine soldier to hold you out
It was down in the lake
We discovered the stage
It was down in the pools
That we broke all the rules
Any way to control you
So off brand
I need a hand
To help me out tonight

The Back Back Step
02:35
|
|||
|
Someones got the keys to my life
Or they are down the sofa
With the kitchen knife
Before a time when I could go home
I’d sit here in the yard
Like a garden gnome
I've got the backstep step
Going inside only feels a threat
I'll eat some flowers, have a cigarette
And drink the pretty black light
Pray, forsooth and so I adore
In the absence of a locksmith
He bangs on the door
Before the time surrender ensues
There's no way to go to bed now
never in these shoes
He’s got the backstep step
Staying outside only feels a threat
In the garden is a silhouette
That drinks the pretty black light
Now they're dancing with him
Now they are together
And from his pocket falls the key
Now i've found the key to my life
I’ll stay outside for now
And dance away the night
The morning light says I can go home
Searching in my pockets
Now where is my phone?
I’ve got the backstep step
Well it ain't over yet
One more cigarette and start to regret
All the black black lies

Sawdust
03:27

|
I’ll ignore the way
You summon me
I was on my way
Somewhere
I didn’t need a bell around my neck
I didn’t need to be rounded up
I was going away to see the dolphins
Looking for puzzles that need some more solving
How do we even get home tonight?
How did I even get that sawdust in my eye?
Turn off the car and sleep in the lay by
Hands on the wheel
I’ll ignore the way
You never saw me
Looking the wrong way
Over there
The minute we put out the flame
I didn’t need to be held off
God only knows how we can solve it
I was going away to see the dolphins
How do we even get home tonight?
How did I even get that sawdust in my eye?
It's getting hard to see
How do we even get home tonight?
How did I even get that sawdust in my eye?
How do we even get home tonight?
Turn off the car and sleep in the lay by
Hands on the wheel

Bizarre Journey
05:12
|
|||
|
Far ahead blue shadows fall
I am weary for my home
The hands that call me
Seem to grow free by the garden wall
The golden sun sinks in the hills
Road drinking like a tongue
And though my toil is over
It's only just begun
Though the road may be long
No place can take the place of my home
I shall be content to rest
with lips I long to kiss
There are eyes of red bright wine
but sometime ambergris
Its a corner of purple heaven
A tumble ostrich nest
And like the very worst of man
I’ll be the very best

Clementine
06:30
|

|
There's a picture of you
At the top of my camera roll
I don’t want to scroll through
I want you to stay this way
In with the faded diagrams of circumstance
There is a moving picture of your dance
Remember me
And i’ll remember
Take a good look around
Clementine
You’ll have the time of your life
The wind brushed your face
The image was blown
There's never gonna be a better time
Now we've gotta get through
Now we gotta step on it
I still remember the way you took my car
Those summer days and heady nights can last a life
And it made me feel alive the fizz of it
Remembering upon the stairs
Walking that way home again
Worried at the morning light
For what it's worth
Upon this earth
For what it's worth
Holding on

Come Home
10:00
|

So this is how the story ends
A whimper not a bang
Nothings subtle anymore
All nuance has gone
You can't find it out yourself no more
Someones seen it all
Someone's marked and charted
Where we’ve never been before
So come home
There's a love that's a new one
Come home
There's smiling times
Come home
Whenever you want to
Little sailor
beat the tide
Ride the wind, ride the storm
All the storms have names
So put them in their place
And make sure when your done
You always
Come home
There's a love that's a new one
Come home
There's smiling times
Come home
Whenever you want to
Just enjoy the ride
Is that a single heart beating
Or many hearts beating in time ?
Don't forget the beginning
As you work down the line
So this is how the story ends
Don't shut the front door
Tim the tree is the code
To pick you up for sure
Come Home
