This Old Town 04:08
lyrics
buy track
This Old Town A City built at the mouth of a river Blackened hills form the backdrop forever Cold and dark They make their remark Men of steel hammer and fist Working hard silhouettes in the mist In this old town Hearts keep on burning In this old town Wheels keep on turning We'll never give in We'll never retreat We'd rather die with our boots on our feet In this old town Shovel in one hand pint in the other Living each day Father child and Mother Amidst the turmoil Standing on this hallowed soil Blood and sweat their only vocation Trouble and strife in this part baked Nation Devil take your cursed slander Cos you know nothing of our splendid candour Silence those lips that rush to criticise Cos you never had to fight to win the prize Of this old town Standing on the esteem of so many others The broken backs of our Fathers and Mothers All under God's hand In this promised land No surrender still our war cry They respond in kind "We can't wait til you die"

Something Better Than This 04:00
lyrics

Something Better Than This Well I kick it to the kerb Scroll down the flip chart My engines stopped running I've ground to a halt I'm in need of a new direction Time to fuel up Take a deep breath Drink from another cup Cos I roll with the punches keep moving up ahead Got to make it on time and not be delayed I'm aiming for the bulls eye better not miss Cos there's gotta be something better than this Well I been a lost cause be a train wreck I've been knocked down been flat on my back I need to dust myself down and stand up straight Look to the horizon take hold of my own fate Well I've had my trials my tribulations too Had empty pockets and had to make do I tore down walls and kicked up the dirt Negative to positive it's time to convert

When It's Gone 03:01
lyrics
buy track
When It's Gone, It's Gone Woke up with the deepest longing Realised this heart was still in mourning The love I had was now all gone Slipped through my hands as I tried to hold on When it's gone it's gone Sitting alone with the curtains drawn Cried all the tears that anyone could cry Pierced by the arrow of your goodbye Can't live another day like this Hankering for the things I dearly miss I'm troubled by what might have been My eyes can't forget what they've seen Hear that long whistle blowing As my love rolls down the track Feel the space between us growing Knowing that there's no way back When it's gone it's gone

Is It Too Late? 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Night rolls back daylight breaking through Thoughts come flooding back of a lost virtue How I broke the promises that I made All those days from then to now I wish I could trade And to your memory I light another candle Shed a tear for all the guilt I can't handle Is it too late to say I'm sorry Get down on bended knee To quench the fire of your fury Draw us back to you and me Why do we never appreciate what we have Always doubt our gut feeling chose the wrong path Loves winding road so many fall by the way Temptation takes the hand of the fool and leads them astray. I won't beg because I love you too much to do it I won't make you cry another tear and I'll prove it Another chance is it too much that I'm asking Has that moment come and gone our we past it

Revenge 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Down by the Rio Grande That's were I'll make my stand today, today My enemy surrounded me Gives no opportunity To get away, away Then I here your voice calling out I turn around to see but your words fade out How they shot you down, my lover fallin' to the ground I cried, I cried Held you bleeding in my arms Underneath the shaded Palms You died, you died Then I swore I'd exact my revenge As God's my witness I will avenge As they close the net I will never 'er forget Your smile, your smile Your beauty was without compare Every man couldn't help but stare A while. a while Wait on me I'll be there soon I see you standing on the shore The clocks hand strikes noon We'll be together forever more A world without you I hoped I would never know But here I am, I am No more fear of death Offer up my final breath I've made my stand, my stand

Moonlight Serenade 02:33
lyrics
buy track
Underneath the window off my one true love I sing her a sweet melody In the hope she would fall madly in love With a helpless romantic like me How I sing to her sweetly of my love Tell her how I would love her to my end If she would only cast me a token from above Recognising the pledge that I've made In this moonlight serenade. Let the angels carry my words on the wing Let them fall softly on thine ear Let them whisper how pure a love I have For the one who holds them so dear

Let Me Fly 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Life's been kind of a drag Lately I just can't breathe My heart's beginning to sag Wondering what the hell's wrong with me Let me fly My wheels will never touch down Let me fly 30,000 feet above the ground Let me fly Way up high Like a bird in a cage My reflection for company Sends me into a rage These bars that restrain me Let me fly Spread my wings and fly around My feet will never touch the ground I'm not coming back down.

Waiting All My Life 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Well I never could see How any one could be that patient Cos when you want something so bad You've just gotta have it now But when the world closes in seems no way out When fear takes over and casts a shadow of doubt Just hold on cos there's something coming over the hill I've been waiting all my life Waiting for you to arrive Waiting for the sun to shine down on me I've been waiting all my life Waiting for you to revive Waiting for the one who can set me free Well I never understand What makes a man doubt in what he believes Cos without faith How does he carry on But when there seems no path ahead Carry your burden feeling half dead Just hold on cos there's something coming over the hill Well nothing can shake you from your resolve Pushing through knuckle down problem solved Though some things linger on Can't wait til there gone In the morning light every thing seems more clear

Love Will Find A Way 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Draw a pale of water from your well It's not hard to tell Your well has run dry Without the moon and stars up above Embrace the darkness that you love But it only makes you cry So tumble down the mountain of your soul Everything that's dear you want to hold Cast out into the deep before you fall fast asleep Love will find a way. Let no-one rob you of your crown Bring your spirit down Drain your pool of dreams You've fought the darkness on your own Found your way home With a faith that redeems

When The Curtain Comes Down 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Well hello how you doing How long has it been You're looking well life been treating you kind So it would seem Must be 10 years or more Since we last met We had a few beers and some laughs I could never forget But life has its way and we wish we could stay in the moment Though you try to hold on the years are gone the sun has set So when the curtain comes down Walk away with no regret. Years go by The faster they fly Wonder where they all went Joy and despair, Vanity flows through the air So easy to forget Story of our lives, compare and prise Who finished first But its all vanity, so easy to see We still have a raging thirst

At Midnight 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Light fades to darkness as the sun goes down Still and quietness are the only sound Stars come out to play in the black velvet sky The moon casts its light waving the long day goodbye Clock strikes the hour Midnight rings out Night becomes day Yet darkness walks about Some become restless and some are at peace Some are at war and some make war cease Hearts beating faster others mark time Some go running while others stand in line Emotions take flight Converging at midnight The day has enough trouble of its own Can you leave it there or bring troubles home The peaceful the restless both lay down to sleep Pray the Lord their soul to keep
