I feel like the mist settled in, but the fog is lifting Will you meet me where the tuckamore reaches for Atlantic blue? I’m down a ribbon of road hugging the southern shoreline I hear ‘em calling to me and I’m counting on you Come home with me, roam these streets that I remember And we’ll get carried away (we'll get carried away) on the waves of home One hand to the sky with a wink and a smile, we’re getting caught up in it So drink it all in You’re drifting in the waves of home Won’t be long ‘til you’re right at ease, hearing tunes on the evening breeze Guaranteed the first word starts you off and that’s all that you need The midnight cobblestone choir sings Half from the heart, half from muscle memory And should we lose our way dancing home in the rain You’ll find yourself waltzing up Williams Lane Will ya come home with me, roam these streets that I remember? And we’ll get carried away (we'll get carried away) on the waves of home One hand to the sky with a wink and a smile, we're getting caught up in it Oh drink it all in You’re drifting in the waves of home La da dee dy dee dy dum, La da dee dy dy do-oh La da dee dy dee dy dum, La da dee dy dy doh La da dee dy dee dy dum, La da dee dy dy do-oh La da dee dy dee dy dum, La da dee dy Come home with me, roam these streets that I remember And we’ll get carried away (we'll get carried away) on the waves of home One hand to the sky with a wink and a smile, we're getting caught up in it Oh drink it all in Love, you’re drifting in the waves of home

Up All Night 04:26
Oh come on in my darling there’s no time to waste I’ve been dreaming about you the whole livelong day I wish you were home to stay So let’s get right to the business of bottles and songs There’s no shortage of measures and the memories are coming on strong Easy they float right along I believe I know what lies in store 'Cause I’ve seen this all before And it looks like we’re gonna be up all night Counting stars in the sky My love it’s just like old times One song more Maybe two maybe four ‘Cause I’m no good for goodbyes Let’s catch the sun by surprise We’re gonna be up all night We’ll pile into the pub and the place is on wheels And the floorboards are bouncing from the jigs and the reels And we’re kicking up our heels Here we go arm in arm and we swing round and round And "Last call for the bar", oh it’s the saddest of sounds Here’s a bottle homeward bound Yes we’ve seen this all before And it looks like we’re gonna be up all night Counting stars in the sky My love it’s just like old times One song more Maybe two maybe four ‘Cause I’m no good for goodbyes Let’s catch the sun by surprise We’re gonna be up all night Oh sweet memory take us back to the lake (Fireworks) Fireside while those Kingston boys played And it looks like we’re gonna be up all night Counting stars in the sky My love it’s just like old times One song more Maybe two maybe four ‘Cause I’m no good for goodbyes Let’s catch the sun by surprise Oh it looks like we’re gonna be up all night Counting stars in the sky My love it’s just like old times One song more Maybe two maybe four ‘Cause I’m no good for goodbyes Let’s catch the sun by surprise We're gonna be up all night

They say, “You’ll never climb that mountain, It doesn’t matter what you believe Even if you get a run for the hill, you’re bound to run out of steam” I said “I was born on the mountain, adversity feels like home Straight to the top go my two feet, and they’ve only got two speeds I’m either stopped or gone” Stopped or gone Holding on or running like the Devil And if I linger too long More than the dust will settle They said, “You’ll never cross the swollen river, it’s far too rough and wide You’ll be lost in the undertow, far better than you have tried” I said, “I was raised on the river, Mother taught me there to swim and row On either side I’ll walk its banks, and I’m always giving thanks To the shallows where the currents slow” Stopped or gone Holding on or running like the Devil And if I linger too long More than the dust will settle I was born on the mountain, adversity feels like home Straight to the top go my bare feet, and they’ve only got two speeds I’m either stopped or gone I won’t carry the weight of your opinions of my life No I will travel the road I go, whether I’m wrong or right I was born on the mountain, adversity feels like home Straight to the top go my two feet, and they’ve only got two speeds I’m either stopped or gone I’m either stopped or gone I’m either stop-

Captain 04:20
I wasn’t born on easy street I never knew if ends would meet I watched my parents fight the Dole And the pack of wolves howling at our door Went to work, still just a lad And the only tools I had Were a sharpened mind And two bare hands It was a stormy sea that made a Captain out of me It was a rolling rogue and a wild ocean I once thought I knew it all Floating along on a flat calm The North Atlantic sure cures you of that notion Life’s an ocean Second chances are rare and few Working out on the big blue Mind your ego and pride Don’t keep you from your sleep at night Can you handle what it takes? Pull the lessons from your mistakes Ghosts and the shame Can you take the blame? It was a stormy sea that made a Captain out of me It was a rolling rogue and a wild ocean I once thought I knew it all Floating along on a flat calm The North Atlantic sure cures you of that notion Life’s an ocean, yeah It was a stormy sea that made the Captain that you see I was a roving rogue on a wild ocean I once thought I knew it all Floating along on a flat calm The North Atlantic sure cured me of that notion It was a stormy sea that made a Captain out of me It was a rolling rogue and a wild ocean I once thought I knew it all Floating along on a flat calm The North Atlantic sure cured me of that notion Life’s an ocean So be a Captain Be a Captain Oh, be a Captain

I'm a fisherman’s daughter I know the danger and beauty of the ocean Each wave holds a cure and a cruelty They hauled their boats on the land But that never kept the man from dancing Between lights green and red Port and starboard I’m a miner’s daughter And he moved a mountain for me Taught me to dig deeper Beyond and beneath what the eye could see He'd say: “Balance your goals, turn your back to the cold and move forward” Between lights green and red Port and starboard Port and starboard When times change the hands don't stop moving He went back to the ocean just to keep us afloat And "Down With The Ship" was the headline that broke me So who am I now? I'm the fallen man's daughter And you are the lighthouse I see From the darkness Caught between port and starboard And those damn October winds call to young men And keep them Between lights green and red Port and starboard Port and starboard Port and starboard Port and - Port and starboard Port and starboard Port and starboard

I see the light across the bay I see the light not far away And I hear music all around I'm getting close to Portland Town So, Mother, won't you make my bed? I see the light of Portland Head Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round I'm going home to Portland Town Some years ago, out on my own I set a course for parts unknown Leaving behind both friend and foe Needing to find what I've come to know I watched the island fade away And bid farewell to Casco Bay But it's been years and years since then My heart has brought me home again Oh I see the light across the bay I see the light not far away And I hear music all around I'm getting close to Portland Town So, Mother, won't you make my bed? I see the light of Portland Head Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round I'm going home to Portland Town Of all the places I did go She's still the fairest port I know She works the seas and she tills the farms She holds her children in her arms No place could know a prouder past Here comes that future, full at last Here comes that beacon across the sky When I hold my head up high I see the light across the bay I see the light not far away And I hear music all around I'm getting close to Portland Town Ah, so, Mother, won't you make my bed? I see the light of Portland Head Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round I'm going home to Portland Town Oh I see the light across the bay I see the light not far away And I hear music all around I'm getting close to Portland Town Ah, so, Mother, won't you make my bed? I see the light of Portland Head Oh I see the light, I'm coming 'round I'm going home to Portland Town I'm going home to Portland Town I'm going home

Grow 04:06
Will you take a little walk with me To where the air is thick with trees And lay beneath the branches And stare up at the sky? A bed of needles and seeds Will help you sort what you believe And the path that you need Will appear before your eyes When I was young some years ago I walked the shore to where a boat Lay with its paint Peeling on the sand I crawled inside upon its ribs To where I thought its heart should live And thought how lonely it must feel To die upon the land Will you try to find the light in every single thing you know? 'Cause when darkness pushes you back down The light will help you grow When you overcome the hand you're dealt With what was done and how you felt A compass laden arrow Will shoot you with the truth You are the spark that lights the dark And now you’re passed the hardest part Stand now, courage is how You win after you lose Will you try to find the light in every single thing you know? 'Cause when darkness pushes you back down... On rainy days the drops will say So much more than the rhythm they play A melody of rebirth For to wash away the clay To fill the well but not to stay To fall again another day Indifferent of demands For to hurry or delay Will you try to find the light in every single thing you know? 'Cause when darkness pushes you back down The light will help you grow Will you try to let the light in every single thing you know? 'Cause when darkness pushes you back down The light will help you grow Light will help you grow

I've traveled far 'Neath the Northern Star Since the day that I was born From the Caribbean to New Orleans I've been inclined to roam And the beauty I've seen In the places I've been I thought I'd see no more 'Til I saw those lights That shine so bright In the skies of Labrador This place I've heard, in every word Is far away, and cold But I have found in this beautiful town A treasure as rich as gold Those dancing lights With their colours so bright Each night as I look out my door It's the Northern Lights, that shine so bright In the skies of Labrador Those Northern Lights, that shine so bright And the night is cold and clear The snow is bright from the pale moonlight And silence fills the air I cast my eyes to those sparkling skies And I can see once more Those Northern Lights that shine so bright In the skies of Labrador But sometimes when I'm down And there's no one around To tell my troubles to I stroll outside and I gaze at the sky And I'm no longer blue The night is still as I drink up my fill As though I'd see no more Of those Northern Lights, that shine so bright In the skies of Labrador My time it will come, like everyone When I must say goodbye And I'll feel so sad as I look out the plane As it soars through the sky And I'll think of the day when I can say That I'll return once more And see those lights, that shine so bright In the skies of Labrador And see those lights, that shine so bright In the skies of Labrador

Run to Me 04:19
In dreams I could dwell anywhere Oh, give me a castle And I’d build up my borders of stone up so high Run in my direction; here, you’ll have protection For I’ll never let any in if unkind Run to me love like rainfall follows thunder Run to me love, my heartbeat; your gait Run to me love like a horse to a stable Where never you’ll want and never you’ll wait Oh I would ramble anywhere oh give me an ocean Any vessel built for speed, wooden or steel No prisoners for pirates, no troubles may find us There’s no doubt that time does, awake or asleep So run to me love like rivers run to oceans Run to me love, relentless your pace Run to me love with the swiftness of currents And overtake the land on a whim as you race I couldn’t love anyone more than I love you darling The complete edge of madness, where passion runs free My pride and my pleasure all wrapped up together My equal, my centre, there’s no other for me So run to me love like nightfall follows twilight And run to me love, awake or in dreams Run to me love ‘til there’s no light between us Ever closer than a wick to a flame Sing me of the mountain, sing me of the crown Long songs of the warbler to have with our tea Oh sing of your yearning, sing of returning To be welcomed home in cathedrals of trees Run to me love like a vine climbs to sunlight And run to me love, with blossoming green Run to me love like a wild chorus lifting Sing blackbirds and robins and thrushes with me Run to me love like rainfall follows thunder And run to me love, relentless your pace Run to me love, stray not from my chamber Where never you’ll want and never you’ll wait

I have no silver, no diamonds, no gold But I am far richer by the visions I hold 'Cause I've seen the mountain and I've seen the sea I've seen all that beauty, and lived a life that was free When the cool autumn moonlight shines down through the trees, No place under Heaven would I rather be Where the wild birds are flying and the caribou roam Many places I've rambled, but this is my home When I am weary and it's time to rest Just take this old body to the place I love best Somewhere on that mountain, turn my face to the sea Let the wind in the treetops sing me to sleep 'Cause I've seen the mountain, I've been to the sea And all of that beauty, it's like Heaven to me Where the wild birds are flying and the caribou roam Many places I've rambled, but this is my home Many places I've rambled, but this is my home
