The falling of the fall
At the falling of the fall you can rise above it all
As the brown leaves falling down form a carpet upon the ground
Turn my collar to the cold as the north wind it blows
I don’t mind, I really don’t mind
Cause the sun always shines in you
I said the sun always shines in you
At the falling of the fall you can rise above it all
As the dark night closes in we know winter soon will begin
And some they say wherever you go always take the weather with you
I know I do and I don’t mind, I really don’t mind
cause the sun always shines in you
At the falling of the fall you can rise above it all
As the north wind that blows turn my collar to the cold
And the brown leaves falling down form their carpet upon the ground
I don’t mind I really don’t mind
cause the sun always shines in you
At the falling of the fall you can rise above it all
As the dark night are closing in we know winter soon will begin
I know I do and I don’t mind, I really don’t mind
cause the sun always shines in you
At the falling of the fall you can rise above it all
At the falling of the fall you can rise above it all
The sun always shines in you

Tell Me
It came as some surprise I must say
To hear you were down in the mire
And that you’ve never been so alone
Well I was down there not so long ago
You were there for me and I’m here for you
Tell me tell me tell me of your troubles and your woes
When the world don’t wanna to know tell me
Some they just don’t get that your kite can fly both high and low
And some they just don’t get that you can’t predict just how hard the wind will blow
But you ain’t alone my friend
Tell me tell me tell me of your troubles and your woes
When the world don’t wanna know tell me
Some they think that you should always have your groove
They don’t know thin time can come in the mood
But time you know it’s time
Tell me tell me tell me
When the world don’t wanna know of your troubles and your woes
Tell me tell me tell me

Belief
Oh the things that we believe
can form a snare around your feet
leave locked down where you don’t really want to be
Oh the things that we believe
they say we pluck them like apples from a tree
And if the ones we leave behind are the loving kind
would we be surprised to find
Our children’s destiny
Such such a bitter seeds
And what is true for you
may not be true for me
So why fight so needlessly
When what we only want
we only want is to live in peace
Oh the things that we believe
Can form a snare around your feet
leave you locked down
where you don’t really want to be

The Golden Fleece
You spoke of tunes and the words
how they meant so much to you
Made your life worth living
like you could always make it through
And you always had a smile
though there was sadness in your heart
You smiled those that loved you
from whose side you’d never part
And the Golden Fleece is open
Open just for you
To walk right on in
Smile and take a pew
And Mac will buy the first round
and we’ll wait to hear those stories
of the crazy things that happen
happened to you
since we last spoke
since we last joked
since we last laughed
oh my friend oh my friend
And Joel will buy the next round and
We’ll share our stories
Of the crazy things that happen
You know they always do
Oh my friend oh my friend
You told us of those waters
And the wave took you out
But your faith it saved you
And we were so glad it did
We were so glad it did
You told of the girl that loves you
You said she came on angel’s wings
though you could not hold a note
She made your heart sing
And the child you had together
Oh you knew that you were blessed
But you weren’t so sure if you could be a father
But you were all of that and more
And the child you adored
And the Golden Fleece is open
Open just for you
To walk right on in
Smile and take a pew
And I will buy the next round
And tell you of my stories
All the crazy things that happen
Happened to me
since we last spoke
since we last joked
since we last laughed
oh my friend oh my friend
They say there’s and island
We’re good friends never pass
Oh take me to that island
Let me see your face again
Let me hear your voice again
oh my friend oh my friend
And we’ll walk out that door
And look over Wanstead Flats
Where we used to roam
Where we played football
With just one goal
To spend some time together
Like good friends always should
Like we dreamt we always would
oh my friend oh my friend
And the Golden Fleece is open
Open just for you
To walk right on in
Smile and take a pew
And well tell our stories the one we always tell
Over and over
Before the closing bell
oh my friend oh my friend

There’s a lamplight in this house my dear
And it burns so bright for you
You can see it no matter where you roam
It will always guide you home
There’s a lamplight in this house my dear
And it burns so bright for you
You can see it no matter where you go
It’s light comes shining through
Oh I remember when you were just a child
And you took your first step
My heart it overflowed with joy
And it aint stopped flowing
It aint stopped flowing yet
There’s a lamplight in this house my dear
And it burns so bright for you
And matter how many grey clouds gather
Its love comes shining through
There’s a lamplight in this house my dear
And it burns so bright for you
And it’s well it won’t run dry
It is fuelled by the love we have for you
And it’s a love that won’t ever die
Oh life is strange when you rose to the challenge
another change you don’t have to be so brave
You fell the growing pains but when you
You feel the strain
Return to the home fires once again
There’s a lamplight in this house my dear
And it burns so bright for you
You can feel it no matter where you roam
Its love comes shining through
There’s a lamplight in this house my dear
And it burns so bright for you
You can see it no matter where you go
Its love comes shining through
There’s a lamplight yeah
There’s a lamplight yeah
There’s a lamplight yeah
and it burns so bright
Said it burns so bright

For you
There’s a lamplight yeah
There’s a lamplight yeah
There’s a lamplight yeah
And it burns so bright
For you

The Tools of My Trade
The tools of my trade are in constant use these days
My order books full of things I really want to do
Just give me an empty room and let the silence
Rain on down on me and was the blues away
So I can say I always give thanks for the tools of my trade
The tools of my trade are in constant use these days
I want to delve into the life’s of those who have gone
before and shown the way to sane
in a world gone crazy
The tools of my trade are in constant use these days
My order books full of things I really want to do
Just give me an empty room and let the silence
Rain on down on me and was the blues away
So I can say I always give thanks for the tools of my trade
The tools of my trade are in constant use these days

Words
Don’t let these words hang heavy on you
They are only meant to be a help to you
I only wanna share the things that I’ve been through
But if you find they’re no use at all
let them fall and don’t let these words hang
heavy on you
Some they were written in the days of tribulation
And some they were written in the days of jubilation
All that I know lessons and signs from the times that
I’ve travelled through
But if they should be of no use at all
let them fall
And don’t let these words hang heavy on you
All I wanna share is the things that I’ve been through

Remembrance Day
There is no sadness in the air
There is no hurt anywhere
We have burdens but we share
Not afraid to show that we care
We have loved and lost
But we’re done counting the cost
We’ll only talk of good times
And we will open the new wine
Cause this must be our own
remembrance day
This must be our own
remembrance day
We are partners in crime
but we have served our time
We have no reason to be ashamed
We are just pawns in the game
We have loved and lost
But we’re done counting the cost
We’ll only talk of good times
And we will open the new wine
This must be our own remembrance day
This must be our own remembrance day
This must be our own remembrance day
There is no sadness in the air
There is no hurt anywhere
This must be our own remembrance day
This must be our own remembrance day

Idols in The Sand

Idols in the sand
Idols in the sand
That we drew with our own hands
Said we were not enough
So we marched out for more
All these idols that we draw
The sea will wash away
Let them herald a new day
And let us never draw again
Idols in the sand
All these idols in the sand
That we drew with our own hands
We have nothing left to give
We should never should have claimed
That we were not enough
And let our future be framed
By the lies that we were told
And idols in the sand
All these idols in the sand
Drawn with our own hands
The sea will wash away
Let them herald a new day
And let us never draw again
Idols in the sand

The Deep Soul Mining Company
They’re surfing on waves they don’t mind if they never reach the shore
They’re high flying birds they catch a wind and watch how high they soar
They were back there in Soho drinking cappuccinos in Italian threads
Celebrating the birth of the cool and in the bars they learnt things they never
learnt in school
You know sometimes life can really turn you around
You know sometimes you get a sense of a future
One that realty can be found
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
They’re walking long winding rules and don’t mind if they never reach the end
They’re planting seeds for a harvest of peace and peace is what they really need
my friend
They hope the light might shine on every man boy women and girl
They say there’s a story somewhere someone has still yet to tell
Oh yeah
You know sometimes life can really turn you around
You know sometimes you get a sense of a future
One that realty can be found
Oh Yeah
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
You know sometimes sometimes life can really turn you around
You know sometimes you get a sense of a future
One that realty can be found
Oh Yeah
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
You know sometimes sometimes life life can really turn you around
And you know sometimes you get a sense of a feeling
One that realty can be found
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
Just like the deep soul mining company
