Smoke on the Water

Until Now

Crucial taunt
Confusing
Tempting shadows controlling
My sails now
Outward bound
Halyard and me

Until now
Life was nothing, drawing out fears and doubts
Until now
My homeland disappearing looking back
Until now
Daytime midnight, tempest swells must hold on
Until now
I can see water spirit follow me

Expect there
Gripping ghost
Furrowed eyes, twisted meaning
Woe betide
The tyro
Who knows not fail

Until now
Doors were wide, blinding light and diamond bright
Until now
Devil-friended, lost in grey, unsurrounded
Until now
Push and pull, come and go, aft and fro
Until now
Bow and stern, wood, steel and rope I heave

This creature
My saviour
Directing path before me
Stinging eyes
See nothing
Unfathoming

Until now 
Storm of hunger, protected and directed
I can see her broken spirit looking far
Until now 
Memory failed to comfort more alone 
Until now 
Ocean sky, water spirit leading me

Until now
Life was nothing, drawing out fears and doubts
Until now
My homeland disappearing looking back
Until now
Daytime midnight, tempest swells must hold on
Until now
I can see water spirit follow me


Until Now

COPPERMINE 

Yesterday's gone again 
Close our eyes to return 
Moments remembered 
Was it more than us? 
How few today's come? 
Swear I would never 
Stargaze without wine 
Hold you forever 
Measuring the time 
Pages are turning 
And we run into 
Today & tomorrow 

Can you accept my light 
And all that it will show? 
Brighter than daylight 
Revealing shadows 
Have we learned nothing? 
As we crash into 
Today & tomorrow 

You again in my life

Coppermine - demo 1

Small part of the title track of Offans Island featuring vocals and a wee solo.

Offans Island - segment

Cole has crashed in the storm in a foreign harbour and is captured, beaten and jailed. He is angered with his God and vows to escape his prison - to the light.


I Need the Light

I’ve been looking for the truth in the right places
And I’ve caught an inkling of what its worth
The sun rising without fail
The courage of my heart

Though I’ve never seen the time so black
And I’ve fought to dignify my worth
It’s you who calls me on
The courage of my heart

Oh My God!
I know I’m right
I won’t be knocked down
Because I need the light

I’ve been captured and shackled 
and kicked to the ground
And I’m wrought to be oppressed
My weapon is love
The courage of my heart

Oh My God!
I know I’m right
I won’t be knocked down
Because I need the light


I Need the Light
