Follow You 02:46
Follow You When the night falls and I Lay my head to rest And the sky turns so weak And falls into the night I have done all I can to follow you Cause from your heart A light shines on me When the roars of our times Lean against my door And all I see is tears From a different sky above I have done all I can to follow you Cause from your heart A light shines on me

My Love 03:15
My Love I’ve never forgotten Your ways in the night And how you touched me With your gentle goodbye Oh, darling, lead me through And when I hold you I feel so alive Your darkness thrills me And your light gets me by Oh, darling, lead me through Can you see me My love Can you trust me My love And when you left me I wanted to die I love you, baby Your light gets me by Oh, darling, lead me through

New Bird 03:34
New Bird The road is my home And my heart is the answer Deciding my twists and turns Ahead I left my old town I left my old country I’m leaving to go back home Again Lay your head upon my shoulder Lay your thoughts upon my day Lay your hand upon my beating heart I’ll see you through the night I’ll see you through the morning light I feel where you are I feel where you’re going I walk underneath your stars At night And I feel winters touch I feel spring approaching I hear all the smallest birds come back Lay your head upon my shoulder Lay your thoughts upon my day Lay your hand upon my beating heart I’ll see you through the night I’ll see you through the morning light

Different Love Don’t drink Don’t finish that drink, The hours fall so heavy, I know But I beg you, please don’t And don’t smoke Don’t finish that smoke The night feels so endless, I know But I beg you, please don’t Use the darkness in your heart You’ll have a different kind of love And when you lean into your dark Look to the wind and the snow And don’t think Don’t think you’re alone You’ve had that fear for so long But I beg you, please don’t And don’t cry Please, finish those tears You’ve been crying for years But I beg you, please don’t Use the darkness in your heart You’ll have a different kind of love And when you lean into your dark Look to the wind and the snow I promise I’ll stay Look to the wind and the snow

In This Hour 03:46
In This Hour Send kisses through the rain Your sweet touch around the corner Send your smiles through the door Your laughter up the stairs in this hour of our lives Darling, I’m broke Only music fills my pockets But I know you have my back And I will care for you Babe, you know it’s true And when you hold my hand You fill my heart with gladness I am in heaven To feel you by my side I want to close my eyes And feel your arms around me In this hour These minutes of our lives Send kisses through the rain Your sweet touch around the corner Send your smiles through the door Your laughter up the stairs In this hour of our lives Darling, I’m here I was drifting for a while there But I know you have my back And I will care for you Babe you know it’s true And when you hold my hand You fill my heart with gladness I am in heaven To feel you by my side I want to close my eyes And feel your arms around me In this hour These minutes of our lives

Dear David 04:06
Dear David Dear David, How can you be gone now? Dear David We had just begun Time moves fast – an ocean fell between us But through the water we can still call out our hearts All your love expanding Rings round your loved ones everywhere You touched us We will not forget you Dear David We had just begun And as the storms arise to run across the mountains We will also lift our heads up to the sky And see you safely go, our friend, up to the stars where you belong And we fall into our tears at night This mystery’s just too big And we cling to everyone we love Until it’s time for us to go But we miss you God, how we’ll be missing you Dear David We had just begun

Stranger Canyons Consider what the years have done Laughter still, but sorrow’s found Follows us where tears can run Over and over Through Stranger canyons Picture where the night has flown Broken hearts with joy unknown Pieces fall where hurt yet aches Lover to lover Through Stranger canyons Remember how our hopes flew high Tenderly, in pale green eyes Shadows now proclaim the pain Sorrow for sorrow Through Stranger canyons
8.
Winter Turns to Spring I miss the old days And everything you taught me ‘Bout the moon and the wind And the withering of snow I try to live By the love you gave me And the patience you taught me And the grace of your name I love the squirrels And I love the ocean The light through the treetops And the gathering of rain I miss your voice To the sound of the ocean I miss the sunlight As winter turns to spring Do you remember When we were children My older sister And my older brother too Just one more day Just one more evening I’m still your daughter Lead me on your way I’ll never leave you Cause you never left me Across these borders Through heart and time I’m still here Cause you never left me I know I’ll see you As winter turns to spring

Night Falls 04:06
Night Falls Night falls, and by the window My lover rests his head Night falls, and by the river My lover’s thoughts unfold And everywhere we walked tonight The rooms where we can whisper Oh, lover Don’t forget me now They say, we have beginnings For our stories yet to come That we are the shapers And makers of it all And when we filled Our hearts with grief We only needed laughter Oh, lover Don’t forget me now We’ve had so many questions And failures in our time And now when we’re together And he’s drifting away I wonder how our river moves And if he really loves me Oh, lover Don’t forget me now

Bonnie 02:19
Bonnie When Bonnie “Prince” Billy Walked behind doors I was just a child And when he was lonely And followed the birds I would follow too I see the sun rising Far behind land And I am rising too When Bonnie “Prince” Billy Calls for the birds I am calling too
11.
If You Were Dead and I Was a Dog I would go for a swim with your bones Carry home your knees Carry home your thighs Carry home your skull and your hands And I would go for a swim with your things Carry home your shoes Carry home your jacket Carry home your hat and guitar Sing me a love song Kind of good night-song So I can sleep and feel the beating of your heart In the dark When the wind has alarmed The wavy bodies Of the sea And I would sleep so still by your side Building up my home From your things and bones If you were dead and I was a dog
