There's beauty in the bare bark brown
Of trees on distant hills
But silence falls on my home town
Creeps in with winter's chill

These old bones of mine are telling me
It's time to make a change
Trade cold for warm and snow for sun
Seems like a fine exchange

Don't know why it's been so long
I guess it's just because
It's easier to stay around
Than it is to move along

I can feel it stir within me
As foundations shift
My soul is heading far from here
On it's southward drift

I'll miss the laughter of good old friends
And the scent of mountain pine
The way the endless river bends
Just like a poets rhyme

There comes a time in every life
As the light is burning low
When too much has got behind
Where did the years all go

These things I will leave behind
I'll still hold them in my mind
When southern ways bring me down
And the steel sky burns me blind

There will always be a part of me
That walks down frosted lanes
And turns to catch the snowbirds call 
Across the wintered plains

Southward Drift

International Harvester Full Version

Someday

I'll lift the map off the wall
Roll it up and take it home
Perhaps it'll show the way
Someday

Distant lights that glitter
Like stars across the sea
Won't shine as bright or shimmer
Someday

You hold on to all that's yours
And then watch it slip away
Try to fill the empty hours
Someday

Someday we will breathe no more
All our lifes will be as dust
Silent waves on forgotten shores
Someday

Someday no one will know us
Neither to forget or recall
Forever and always
It will be thus

Smoke among tall green trees
Crouched beneath a fading sun
All that man has cut will heal
Someday
That old rocking horse you gave me
Faded paint and crooked grin
Will find a way to save me
Someday

Let the light shine somewhere
Chase the shadows far away
Chains of love will bind us there
Someday

Someday we will breathe no more
All our life will be as dust
Silent waves on forgotten shores
Someday

Someday no one will know us
Neither to forget or recall
Forever and always
It will be thus

The world is full of fools who lie
And walk the streets of glory
The laws of truth shall apply
Someday

Those who lust for days of fame
And fill their hands with money
Will be pulled down and washed away
Someday

Someday no one will know us
Neither to forget or recall
Forever and always it will be thus
Someday Someday

Someday we will breathe no more
All our life will be as dust
Silent waves on forgotten shores
Someday

Someday (Collaboration with Paul Vasey)

Hollow man in a shining silk suit
Holds his trophy wife
With a plastic smile and Cuban heeled boots
He burns his way through life

You were the beauty of the high school
Oiled and golden at the pool
But you gave up everything
Lost it all too soon

First in line for the tennis club pro
It's harder every day
Where did all the good time years go
Lost along the way

White powder, pills and best rose wine
To get you through the day
Adrift beyond the borderline
Where neon turns to grey

You're trapped in a house of mirrors
With walls of polished glass
You can't see beyond them
You never stood a chance

He keeps in your tower
Behind imagined doors
Just a word away from freedom
You can't feel it any more

You're not getting any younger
Only his girlfriends are
He's meaner and quick to anger
Dark glasses and face powder
Can't hide the marks

Small town girl flew too high
Where the air is cold and thin
Like his fingers on your shoulder
You still belong to him

It's time to leave this poison city
Find your way somehow
Everything that once looked pretty
Sure isn't pretty now

Red tail lights on the highway                              
Streaked by windscreen rain
Pacific ocean coastal sky-way
Takes you home again

The Hollow Man

Please don't look for me
Through your winter window
It won't be my face you see
When December winds blow

I've got to keep moving on 
Won't let the grass grow
I've never stayed around too long 
Just a face in a fading photo

It won't be my voice you hear
In your sleeping hedgerow
Just a note in the call
Of the lonely laughing black crow

I asked you when this all began
With summer's first swallow
Did you really need a man
Who just lives for tomorrow

My steps are quiet memories
On your frosted meadow 
Made by a ghost set free
That never casts a shadow

Please don't sit & cry  
This love has caused you sorrow
All that's in this world must die
Like melted summer snow

In the spring's warming light
A quiet whispered "hello"
Like a fingers dancing flight
On the strings of a cello

Before the winter comes again
And the leaves leave the willow
You won't remember me
Forgotten song on the radio

Winter Window

The sky is breaking from the
Heat of the sun
That's burning the mist off the sea
Another day with you has begun
Pour your warmth over me

Sunshine woman
You are my sunshine woman
No clouds with my sunshine woman
No rain with my sunshine woman

The way that you walk  
Is like liquid sunlight
Through leaves on a summer day
Dancing across 
This old wooden floor
A beautiful ballet

Under magnolia trees
We walk hand in hand
It's one ten in the shade
Old dog's so hot
He doesn't care if it's
Fahrenheit or centigrade

There's a darkness grows
In the hearts of men
Who knows what keeps it there
You have the way
To fill me with light
A breath of sweet summer air

When winter lies deep
Hard on the dawn
Like steel inside your head
Remember the times
Our hair was bleached gold
And our days were chromium red

Sunshine Woman

Sometimes we stumble adrift from time's tether
Barely a mumble a breath on a feather
Hold out my cold hands to catch the warm rain
Shelter  from cruel words refuge from soft pain

There's a sound on the wind I can hear  the echo
Where she's gone I'll never know but I'll not forget her

Soft steps you take between all the places 
Leaves at your feet  winds of change will scatter
Sun on the  green hills lights hidden spaces
Long lost promise of an endless ever after

There's a sound on the wind I can hear  the echo
Where she's gone I'll never know but I'll not forget her

Rivers of time running to the ocean
Shifting like soft sand  beneath all the water
Shadow of  memory still just a notion
Wake from a dream on the wings of her laughter

There's a sound on the wind I can hear  the echo
Where she's gone I'll never know but I'll not forget her

Echoes

Sit down my friend and I'll sing you my song
For it is a strange affair
It's of glances cast and looks that last
Sweet perfume on the air
If you don't mind I'll take your time
For I need to tell you why
There's no time to cast aside
Or your life will pass you by

It will slip through your hands
Like trying to catch the rain
Hourglass sand
Falling grain by grain
Falling grain by grain

A young bird's cry, sun's high in the sky
Over fields of Southern Spain
I close my eyes and my memory flies
And she's here with me again

I think my life is a crooked road
That leads to who knows where
Will a stranger'smile last a while
Or leave me standing there?
Leave me standing there?
               
The first rays of dawn on a mid winter morn
Or the sounds of a summer fair
All  these things and more I can't tell
Are made for us all to share

I once had a girl who filled up my world
But I never knew how to give
I let her down like a country clown
And I'll hurt for as long as I live

Slipped Through My Hands

All the fun of the fair
Let me lead you there
I'll show you things that only kings
And jesters would ever share

We're coming to your town
So lay your money down
The carney's here like every year
Just spin that wheel around

We're a band of seekers, dreamers and runners
From the world that comes to stare
Drifters, riskers, scene stealers and shifters
We've been to everywhere

High wire walkers and machine gun talkers
It's hard to tell what is real
Jugglers, barkers, fire eaters and cheaters
Butterflies dead on the wheel
 
Step up, step up and bring your friends
There's something for everyone
Bearded ladies and 2 headed babies
Attractions second to none

See the tatooed man
His skin is a battle plan
For wars he fought that came to nought
As through the years he ran

Tomorrow we're moving on
So remember when we've gone
That all we leave is a memory
And cheap prizes that you won

We're a band of seekers, dreamers and runners
From the world that comes to stare
Drifters, riskers, scene stealers and shifters
We've been to everywhere

High wire walkers and machine gun talkers
It's hard to tell what is real
Jugglers, barkers, fire eaters and cheaters
Butterflies dead on the wheel


All The Fun Of The Fair

I can keep you out of mind in daylight
Push doubts aside
Hold  back the tide
While it stays bright
I can watch children playing in the sun
Take my ease a while
Say   the day is mine
While it still shines
Oh.............then the night comes down
Yeah...........The night comes down

My head is tumbling
My thoughts unraveling
And my legs are running
Through the rye
Old demons are chasing
My heart is racing
And the sky is falling
Down to die
Oh.............as the night comes down
Yeah...........The night comes down
       
There are long shadows on the fields
A dancer in the corn        
Hiding since I was bo
But it's not real
There are dark chapels in your eyes
A heart made of stone       
Beating on a breast of bone
Where the truth lies
Oh.............still the night comes down

Yeah...........The night comes down
My head is tumbling
My thoughts unraveling
And my legs are running
Through the rye    
Old demons are chasing
My heart is racing
And the sky is falling
Down to die
Oh.............still the night comes down
Yeah...........The night comes down

Midday heat
Air is sweet
My thoughts are slow and lazy
Midnight cold
Fears unfold
And I go a little crazy

I'm on the train that's leaving today
Just a seeker of the truth    
Searching for the proof
That's passed away
There's a headlight to cut down the dark
A blanket to keep me warm         
Waiting for the distant dawn    
To bathe me

Night Comes Down

December snow is cold on my skin
There's a hole where the truth's been blowing in
Another empty sky awakening
That old homesick feeling once again

The midday sun from a thousand sacred hours
Has bleached all the colour from the flowers
You painted on the sign by our door
But we don't walk those rooms anymore

Now I'm sitting here
Trying to explain
Why all that I have
Is this hatful of rain

A mile of golden chains cannot bind us
If I could, I'd throw away the key
Everything but the past is behind us
This is not how it was meant to be

I remember how I found you
Broken glass all around you
And the crimson spreading stain
And how I cried out your name

So take me back where the air tastes sweet
And I can feel God's earth beneath my feet
Where I can sit in my easy chair
And make believe I can see you walking there

I can feel you near
But nothing is the same
Wish I could see your face
In this hatful of rain

Hatful Of Rain(Boydie mastered)

I hear some people talkin'
They love to speculate
Are we back together
Is it all a big mistake
No, it's just a rumour
That's all it is, a rumour
Spreading all around
Just a rumour

Sun will rise tomorrow
That's what they say
But I'm not so sure
They'll be another day

It's just a rumour
That's all it is, a rumour
Spreading all around
Just a rumour

Sometimes I feel it's getting late
Running out of time to hesitate

Am I haunting all the spaces
You and I would know
Old familiar places
From a long time ago

No, it's just a rumour
That's all it is, a rumour
Spreading all around
Just a rumour

Do I go kinda quiet
At the end of the day
Thinking about the good times
How I let them slip away

No, it's just a rumour
That's all it is, a rumour
Spreading all around
Just a rumour
No, it's just a rumour
That's all it is, a rumour
Spreading all around
Just a rumour

Rumour

Yesterday I could see you were broken
The smiles that you gave were only a token
I could see in your eyes
A lifetime of lies
Meant that only the truth
Could be spoken

Yesterday is my home
Tomorrow is a place I don't know
Down dark alleyways
And grey skied days
Anywhere but here and now

Yesterday I watched the sunrise on the ocean
A memory from before was awoken
A promise that I made
A vow I betrayed
Why is regret my only
Emotion

So today I realised I was lying
To think I could save something dying
There's a handful of dust
A dry well of trust
And the stain of  the tears
You've been crying

Yesterday is my home
Tomorrow is a place I don't know
Down dark alleyways
And grey skied days
Anywhere but here and now

And tomorrow my beautyful bird will fly
Spread her wings and kiss the sky
I'm left on the ground
My world upside down
All I have is the bitter taste
Of goodbye

Yesterday is my home
Tomorrow is a place I don't know
Down dark alleyways
And grey skied days
Anywhere but here and now



Yesterday Is My Home

I can't hold a day in my hand
Can't buy a bottle of sunshine
All my words are grains of sand
Lost on the borderline

I can't turn back the hands of time
Or stop the ebbing tide
Can't turn your water into wine
Away on the borderline

On the borderline
No maps or direction signs
No questions or reasons why
On the borderline
Sky and earth combine
And I can't tell what's mine
On the borderline
On the borderline

I can see the way you look at me
At the end of the long decline
You know that I can't set you free
To cross the borderline

Please don't ask because you can
We've walked this road before
Don't expect a drowning man
To guide you back to shore

The meadow green is turning brown
 And the sun is hard to find
October leaves lie all around
From here to the borderline

On the borderline
No maps or direction signs
No questions or reasons why
On the borderline
Sky and earth combine
And I can't tell what's mine
On the borderline
On the borderline





Borderline

Autumn Song

The air is grey from ocean spray
I'm walking through your streets
September morning
The endless days stretch away
Like the chains that tie the ships
To their moorings

And I miss you
More each day
And I love you
Like words can never say

The rusting steel and rotten keels 
Of the ancient boats
Stranded on the shoreline
Reminds me of the way I feel 
After too many days
Without your sunshine

A seagull flies his keening cries
Sounds just like 
A babies wailing
As his mother burns the world still turns
But all the pretty flowers re fading
That I gave you yesterday
But you threw them all away

Fly away, fly away across the sea
Never say, don't you ever say
That you've forgotten me

Turn a page in the summer haze
Lying in the sun
The book you're reading
Ten thousand words like wingless birds
That look on high
And dream of flying

An anchor weighs no one stays
Long enough 
To taste the winter
But I will wait though it's getting late
To see your face
One more November

Boats

I was born on the dark side of a mountain so high
Spent my first 40 years starin' up at the sky
Praying to the lord who sits up above
For the wings of Noah's little white dove

To lift me away from this land of grief and sin
To a far brighter place where the sun's shining in
But nobody heard a single lost word
Just the echoing cries of the Raven bird

There's a bright flash of  Blue Jay
Riding on the breeze 
He'll fly away tomorrow 
As free as he can be
Fences don't hold him
Nor the ties that bind
No chains on his feet
No ink on the line

40 days and 40 nights the rain came pouring down
Filling up the rivers and washing out the towns
Drowning all the places of my darkest memories
My mountain was a prison now the flood has set me free 

My father was a preacher with the bible in his hand
He said the flood was coming to sanctify the land
Stood on the river bank praying for our sins
Still reading from the scripture as the water pulled him in

I live alone  far from the place of my birth
With the sun on my back and the sweet sacred earth
As winter storm clouds gather overhead
Ghosts of a mountain dark go dancing with the dead

Mountain Song

Goodbye my Cornflower Blue
A free bird that flew 
You sang for a while
In my garden

Goodluck my Cornflower Blue
Our days were few
But your taste's still sweet
On my tongue

You hated the chains
And the cold northern rain
You wanted sun on your face
In the morning

The skies were Cornflower Blue
When our love was new
Like the bright silver dew
Of September

Your eyes of Cornflower Blue
Are the deepest hue
Like the endless roll
Of the ocean

Go ahead and chase your dreams
Even when it seems
They're fading faster than you run

I loved you Cornflower Blue
I always knew
You'd carry no blame
For this leaving

I called you Cornflower Blue
You were just passing through
I was only a town
On your journey

Goodbye Cornflower Blue
A free bird that flew 
You sang for a while
In my garden

Cornflower Blue

Harbour 

I feel like a faded flag
In a cold, cold wind
Blowing on a silent sea
A witness to the world's end

My footsteps don't carry me
The way they used to
Yesterday is an empty space
That echoes and aches for you

I'm wondering where you are now
And its thundering off the port bow

I can't rest till I find her
I can't sail any farther
I need safe harbour
Through the long nights of winter
Artic storm on my shoulder
I need safe harbour

I can't see your face
Not even in my dreams
It's a ghost that I've chased
All along the gulf stream

On the shores of Maine
The pines still whisper
For she returned again
And you've just missed her

I'm wondering where you are now
And its thundering off the port bow

I can't rest till I find her
I can't sail any farther
I need safe harbour
Through the long nights of winter
Artic storm on my shoulder
I need safe harbour

Harbour

I 'm the harlequin waiting
At your back door
I'm the harlequin waiting
You've seen me before
Don't you remember me
And what all this is for?

Let me be your servant
I will serve you well
Let me be your servant
For the secrets I can tell
I'm the clown & the juggler
The stone, the fall and the spell

I'm the Harlequin who guides you 
Through this glittering parade
A step, a turn, a softshoe
A spring-heeled charade

I've danced for kings, queens and princes
From here to the promised land
Kissed the sleeping face of freedom
Held tomorrow in my hands

They asked me for my secret
Kept 'em guessing for a while
You've got to run a rightous road
 To walk a crooked mile

Used to dance for the devil
Just to make him smile
Used to dance for the devil
For a short while
But cartwheels on a Sunday
That's really not my style

Chase a harlequin shadow
behind the sun
Chase a harlequin shadow
Watch it run
Just as you think it's over
It's only just begun

Harlequin Waiting

The leaves are falling 
Winter Is Calling 
Will you follow me 
As I'm walking out your door 
You know we're good together 
And I would never 
Hurt you, 
Like he's hurt you before 
Sometimes the road we walk 
Can take a sudden turn 
And we'll light up the world 
With the bridges that we burn 
With the bridges that we burn 
It's easy to stay 
For just another day 
You tell yourself 
Somehow he'll change 
But like a distant freight train's song 
That echoes on and on 
He will haunt you 
He will never set you free 
The ribbons on your wedding dress 
Have faded all to grey 
In the photos your laughing face 
Is crying today

The Bridges That We Burn

Do you wake to find your life unwind
Same picture every day
There must be more on a far off shore
Why would you want to stay?
But the road is cold, dark and old
So this is what I say
Listen hard 'cause yard by yard
It took my life away

Trucker's stops and coffee pots
A waitress trapped in time
Years of dust and old red rust
Another glass of wine
Gunmetal days, forgotten ways
To lose this soul of mine
Red leather booths and country tunes
I can't get off my mind

Fields of grain and summer rain
To wash away the dirt
But a hundred miles of frozen smiles
Can't take away the hurt
Country lanes and weather vanes
Faded in the sun
Empty barns, abandoned farms
Where wild horses run

Angry skies and false goodbyes
That leave me with a lie
Leaning poles on country roads
As the trucks go rolling by
Old cars in yards, a wind so hard
It will take your breath away
Rotting dreams and headlight beams
That turn the night to day

The cold green eyes and soft warm thighs
Of the girl that I've just paid
To keep me warm and calm the storm
From the mistakes that I've made
Motel rooms, the truth that looms
This is not the way to live
Lessons learned, bridges burned
I can't take more than I give

Soft leatherette, another cigarette
The last one in the pack
I can't restore what I had before
I can never bring it back
Neon bars a Dome of stars
But drink can't kill the ache
Stood outside as worlds collide
And the mist rolls off the lake

A sea of graves, Jesus saves
But he looked the other way
But just the same I called his name
Helped keep the ghosts at bay
So if you see me passing by
A cold light in my eyes
Please toss a coin into my cup
To pay for my sunrise

The Road 2018 (Revised Version)

Why don't you wait for me
On the green grass
Behind your parents' place
Where the wind was warm
And the tears of joy were shining on your face
When the summer storm is singing
I'm calling, wait for me

Why don't you wait for me 
At the roadside
In the rushing diesel air
Watch the trucks go roll by
And you're wondering why
Doesn't anybody care
When your faith is failing
I'm calling, wait for me

Remember when the air was still 
And the blackthorn was in bloom
The simple promise that I made
Under a silver moon

Why don't you wait for me
In the sunshine
That falls like golden rain
On the one true love
I'm thinking of
But may never see again
When the sky is burning
I'm calling, wait for me

Remember when the air was still 
And the blackthorn was in bloom
The simple promise that I made
Under a silver moon

Why don't you wait for me
On the shoreline
Where the world is dappled light
And my footsteps 
Are washed away
And the past is out of sight
When the tide is turning
I'm calling, wait for me

Wait For Me

I wonder if the wind,
Should tell of the places,
And times it has seen.
Would it know what to do?
About all the broken hearts,
It has blown through.
 
He steals through your dreams,
He knows all the secrets,
Of where you have been.
He knows what to do,
About all the emptiness,
You hold on to.

Strange affliction again,
Honey just follow the wind.
Lay your weary head down,
Upon your pillow, your eiderdown. 

Sometimes it takes a stranger
To tell you you're drowning
And point out the danger
Of zero and counting

There isn’t much time,
For you to unburden,
What’s on your mind.
He can sense you are lost,
He knows the feeling,
He knows the cost.

Strange Affliction (Lyrics by Geoff Matthews)

I'm leaving here tomorrow I'm freeing you
Please don't try to follow I guess it's true
That being lost
Is worth the cost
Of the love that we knew
The love that we knew

This world is full of strangers I'm close to you
A sea of broken faces and a thought that flew
A thousand miles
Through endless aisles
Of colours flooding through
Colours flooding through

The fading light I don't want to fight lets hold it to the sun
Hold it to the sun
You're the only one
Your cotton dress one soft caress your eyes of ocean blue
Eyes of ocean blue
I still love you
I'm holding on
Still holding on

A voice inside is calling and I want something new
Don't be sad and crying this is long overdue 
The empty days
Just tick away
Could you save me a few
Please save a few

I'm sitting in this cafe on a warm summer's day
Watching people talking but I've nothing to say
They cant't see
How it feels to be
Just drifting away  

The fading light I don't want to fight lets hold it to the sun
Hold it to the sun
You're the only one
Your cotton dress one soft caress your eyes of ocean blue
Eyes of ocean blue
I still love you
I'm holding on
Still holding on


Eyes Of Ocean Blue (Final Version)

Summertime on the southbound line
Sun glinted off the steel grey rails
Somewhere ahead a freight train wailed
Just a young man then
I'll never be again

Autumn time sleepy shoreline
Silver birch turning yellow and red
Birds flying south high overhead
I chased the long days
As they slipped away

When you look behind
Do you hope to find
What it is that's burning
The months just fly
Pass you by
Big wheel keeps on turning
Long forgotten faces
Are there to testify
The passing of the seasons 
And the turning of the tide
Like the rise and fall of 
A half remembered rhyme
The rise and fall of 
A half remembered rhyme
   
Winter time on the long decline
Echoes of laughter and smiles that I gave
Slip through my mind cold as the grave
The years will erase
Leave me no trace

Spring time was for Caroline
The promise she wrote in the morning sand    
The look that said "I understand"
Now I realise 
Just the memory survives  

When you look behind
Do you hope to find
What it is that's burning
The months just fly
Pass you by
Big wheel keeps on turning
Long forgotten faces
Are there to testify
The passing of the seasons 
And the turning of the tide
Like the rise and fall of 
A half remembered rhyme
The rise and fall of 
A half remembered rhyme


Half Remembered Rhyme

A song about a man leaving for war and asking his lover to promise to marry him when he gets back. He hopes to take strength from his memories of their time together.


Home will be a dream soon
I'm marching to the old tune
Battle flags flying in the sun
The daylight will take me
Please don't forsake me  
Keep your faith and tell everyone  
I've moved on but something remains
Listen close and keep the candle bright
My tears in the salt sea
My breath on the morning breeze
Will return if you call my name  

Won't you take my hand
Wear this sacred band
Tell me that you'll bide              
That one day I'll see my bride
One day I'll see my bride

A flower in the wildwood
A hill where the oak stood
Your green eyes shining bright and clear
Dew on the cold grass
Light where our feet passed
Days spent with you seem so near 
Tommorrow will be of steel and fray
Those memories take me from here
I'd bear all my sorrow 
If I could only borrow
A look from you on our wedding day 

Won't you take my hand
Wear this sacred band
Tell me that you'll bide              
That one day I'll see my bride
One day I'll see my bride

Days are growing shorter
There's mist on the water
Winter's coming, sun slips away
In the darkest hour
Hope can still flower
Smile and wipe away the years 
I'm like a man on a run away train
My fate is cast to the wind
The life that I made there 
Every hope, every tear 
Cupped in your hands like warm summer rain

Won't you take my hand
Wear this sacred band
Tell me that you'll bide              
That one day I'll see my bride
One day I'll see my bride


One Day I'll See My Bride

The bleachers are all standing empty
There’s a strange silence in the air
Somebody said they'd heard sirens sounding
I was too wasted to care

There's a red coupe on the driveway
Shutters are drawn against the sun
I heard a rumour on the radio
The ending had just begun

Something Wicked this way comes
It's there in a million lies
The tattooed man's been watching the skies
Waiting for the stars to align

My brother was born as a free man
Back in 1965
The last thing he said as he held out his hand
Don’t let them take me alive

The wires are humming in the July heat
Highways are rammed interstate
10 million people are moving
Something tells me it's too late

In my hotel room the shadows are talking
Back and forth in rhyme
I love to listen to the words they use
But you know I'm running out of time

The neon sign's still swinging
Screaming and banging in the night
The tubes are dead no green, yellow or red
No liquid, luminous light.

The roads now empty slick with rain
Stop lights like blood on the street
The night wind stirs the dust in my veins
Can you hear the marching feet

Something Wicked This Way Comes

There's a place down where the river bends
I like to go there just as the daytime ends
You can hear tomorrow call
Watch the shadows grow tall
Sacred night and our country kind of love

I can see you walking next to me
Blonde hair blowing in the breeze
You've got your hair tied back
With a bootlace strap
Free and easy as our country kind of love

All I need is your Country kind of love
Gentle ways and endless days of
Shooting the breeze
Taking our ease
Just sharing this Country kind of love

Now I've kissed all my blues goodbye
I'm flying like an Eagle in the sky
From this height I can see
You've been so good to me
Set me free with your country kind of love

So take me by the hand
We'll run to the dawn
To that old secret place
Where you and I were born

This old world it fits me like a glove
I've been blessed like spring rain from above
You see I'm a simple man
I'm doing what I can
Living for country kind of love

All I need is your Country kind of love
Gentle ways and endless days of
Shooting the breeze
Taking our ease
Just sharing this Country kind of love

Country Kind Of Love

There were times
When days were longer
Our voices stronger
When we were young
The wind was softer
Sun was warmer
And our lives
Had just begun

When the songbird
Flies for the winter
To the warmth
Of  distant shores
I'll will cherish
Our days together
Now we can't make them
Anymore

This is just my simple song for you
To say thank you
All these ancient words I wrote for you
Are still brand new
They still ring true
I still miss you

But life is sweet
And death is bitter
Nothing I say
Can ease the pain
As we pass
Through worlds of wonder
Always your face
Always the same

I can hear 
The church bells ringing
Skylark singing
In fields of green
Across the valley
The sound of laughter
Just like the way
It's always been
