I never knew my father
He left when I was young
They say he was a proud man
As good as they come

He left like all the others
When no work could be found
He smiled and told my mother
I won't let you down

The autumn turned to winter
And the light left her ey

I wandered the streets
With the legs of a free man
No one to follow
No one to love or leave

Faster and faster
From place to place
All I could hear then
Was the sound of my feet

I make my way
I make my way without you
I make my way
I make my way wit

You can break her down
With your highs and lows
But she's familiar with the sound
The sound you make, every time you go

Always
Always she waits for you
Always
Always she waits for you

This holiday she's alone
She leaves the lights on the tree
And thoug

Today I find you
My hands help guide you
And you will never have to stand alone
Though memories may blind you

Above the noises
The silence here rejoices
We'll forget the way it was before
All rapt in joyful voices

I know grace is hard
And our patience slow

My love lies still
Awaken
And I'll walk these hills

Break me open
'Til my blood runs free
Break me open
There's a light I see

Calling me, calling me back
Calling me, calling me back

Awaken
My love lies cold
Awaken
And I'll walk alone

Oh

I don't know how love begins
It moves too fast for me to tell
I'll raise a flag to catch the wind
Safe at the bottom of a well

It came and went just like a spark
And lit a fire in my head
It burned a hole right through my heart
And left a ghost beside my bed

Hey stranger or may I call you my own I know I don't know you, but there's somewhere I've seen you before Whatever your name is, whatever you do There's nothing between us I'm willing to loose J

Hey stranger or may I call you my own
I know I don't know you, but there's somewhere I've seen you before
Whatever your name is, whatever you do
There's nothing between us I'm willing to loose

Just call me if ever our paths may colide
I want you to call me under these darke

Call on the rain
and drown out my eyes
and I'll stare at the flame
in a blood streaked sky
call up the day
in red mountain light
and sing me the name
a thousand times
ramana, ramana hare

well I stand this ground
that you walked before
a stranger foun

When these golden days are over
And nothing's left to fight for
Nothing's left to grieve
Well my hands have left you colder
The touch we used to sigh for
Lost under the sheets

Now there's ravens on the rooftop
They're standing in the doorway
They're underneath t

Oh come with me forever my love,
under the darkening sky.
Come hide with me,
I'll save you my love.
Hear me, I'll beg for you life.

Her hair is damp,
Her skin has turned cold,
There's hardly a sound that she makes.
Oh stay my love,
Please open your eyes,

You say that I've strayed from the road I walked as a child
You say that my youth and my heart haven't chosen what's right
Don't tell me I'm aimless
Cause I ain't gonna fight

You bury your faith in the book you clutch in the dark
You keep praying I'll hear every word and it

In the shadows that she paints
Lie the stories she can't tell
But the trees she lights on fire
And the colors cast a spell

All the waiting it's been hard
She picks at the food on her plate
There's so much that he could give
There's so much that he could take

I look around to find the way it all began
The years, they've turned like the heart of a man
But I'll say that I'm grateful for the time that has past
And I'll stay right where I am

Well, I raise my glass with the unfortunate ones
We're broken and tired from the miles we ha

Mother I'm afraid
Of what I have become
Runnin' hungry like a dog
Stuck out on the range
Searchin' for my love
Every day that she's been gone

I thought her heart was true
It shone just like the sun
Enough to make a man go blind
One night the moon was new

If your wandering ever leads you
to a place where you dont know which road to choose
leave your worries behind
take the road that leads to mine
and I'll be waiting there for you

If your dreaming ever wakes you
and you find your dreaming wasn't true
wipe the sleep fr

Are you tired from the battles fought?
All the years that you won or lost?
Are you tired and shaken from it all?

Are you scared that you'll lose control?
As you cling to the words you know?
In the silence you start to lose your hope.
In the silence you dream of letting

There's a moon rising slowly through the trees
There's a moon shining bright upon my feet
And tonight the dogs are coming to capture me

Now I'm standing in the wake of forty years
And from this prison I have broken free and clear
And I'm praying that the morning won't catch

There's a love he cannot hide
Though he waits in the line to fight
So he looks up to welcome you, his child
Little stranger girl, you are home tonight

He reaches out a thousand miles
An sends his voice to where you lie
And in your dreams he carries you, his child

When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine
I missed the life that I left behind
And when I hear the sound of the black bird's cry
I know I left in the nick of time

Well this road I'm on is gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far off land
So let me ride the win
