Waves of Home
04:09
|
|||
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

Stopped or Gone
03:01

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

Portland Town
04:03
|

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

This Is My Home
04:19
|
|||
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
