I can see the lights of this place Out across the water Silently they pass on the tide The watchers keep me awake Do not look your days in the eye I can feel the freezing on my skin And these thoughts are something lost On the oceans of memory Awash with pictures that flash and fade Do not look your days in the eye Do not look your days in the eye They will only look deeper into you Do not look your days in the eye And now I'm falling, I'm falling overboard Silently they pass on the tide And I'm slipping through these dreams On a clear night…

Stop the Engines
I have come down unknown paths To the sand on the shoreline Like a last man standing at the ends of the earth I have come here to speak With the ocean With the ocean I do not recognise your currency Stop the engines Stop the engines The silence is seething all around me The spirits of the dead will live again The tide slips and flows with the cycles of the sun and the moon The spirits of the dead will live again From far across the water like a silvery dawn The words blew in from the atlantic "If you lock yourselves in cages of fear…
Brother
This could be anywhere my friend The same things day after day Don't be afraid cos I'm just someone to lean on You're not alone you're like a brother to me You're like a brother to me "X" Marks the spot I know you'll never give in It's too late to stop all of this now These bridges are burning and I'm feeling them pushing and Pushing and pushing I have my dreams and I've got my reasons You're like a brother to me You take the sting out of my eye All these straight lines and these walls You take the needles from my side You…
Footprints
I am forever Walking these shores Of sand and these white horses The tide will wipe out my footprints But I know you will find me And what is right What is wrong What is true What is not Their shadow, which destroys the land Soars like an eagle across the sun Take a look at the cities and all of these towns All these motorways and these roads And what is right What is wrong What is true What is not Your business of good, and business of bad They don't mean a thing my friend If you go to the rivers or to the…
This Business
This business is a bloody one And these hands are dripping Every night I can hear them Banging on the inside This business I've tried to turn my eyes away But still I hear them I don't know if I can do this anymore I find the words so hard to find This business Can't go on in silence As if all time stands still Shadows gather round us And there's a devil.....that lies within I can't go on in silence I could never draw that line Like the black ice of a frozen heart There's a devil deep inside This business There's a devil.....…
Threads
There's always someone, to take your place There's always something, to spend your money on You never find the time, to do what you wanted to You have other reasons, why you could never stop It's just a job, it's just a job to you And now I'm hanging, by the smallest thread And I'm looking, for a cliff to sleep on All this picking, through these wasted days Watch me change my shape, slip into another form It's just a job, it's just a job to you Let me take you to the fields Let me feed from your touch It's just a job to you…
