Leave The Light On
05:10
|

Leave the light on when you go to bed
As, as you rest your weary head
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us
I climb beside you, safe and warm
How, how we've longed to be back home
And yes, yes it's been a long old day for us
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
You lie there thinking what to say
How, how is it you feel this way?
Yes, yes I know you love me all the same
I feel you shiver next to me
You may close your eyes but you still see
And yes, yes I promise you that things will change
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
Leave the light on when you go to bed
As, as you rest your weary head
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us

Laura Jones
03:40

We were young, seventeen
She was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen
And I always knew we coulda been
Something more than just a teenage dream
And I loved her laugh, and I loved her smile
And I lost myself in those big blue eyes
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
They always said she’d be a star
“Mark my words, girl, you’re gonna go far
And get yourself a fancy car
A Rolls Royce or a Jaguar”
And they built her up and they knocked her down
And she tried so hard to make it out of this town
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
And so it is, you drift apart
But thinking back to the very start
Well I know I didn’t get the part
But I’m still sure I coulda won her heart
And I miss her laugh, and a miss her smile
And I miss looking in those big blue eyes
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?

High
02:33
|
|||
Wading through the grass
Trying to get high
Losing yourself
In the deep blue sky
And you feel like you can touch it
And you wanna go far
Wanna get away from here
But you don’t know where you are
You’re running now, you’re running
Well you better not hide
The grass is always green
On the other side
And you feel like you can touch it
And you wanna go far
Wanna get away from here
But you don’t know where you are
And you feel like you can touch it
And you wanna go far
Wanna get away from here
But you don’t know where you are
Wading through the grass
Trying to get high
Losing yourself
In the deep blue sky

Tell Me
03:52
|

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
And tell me if it's true that we will never be
And tell me if it's me
Or tell me if it's you
Oh darling, please, I need to know what I can do
Oh, I'm sorry
And whatever it is, I won't do it again
Oh, I'm sorry
But I've loved you since the dawn of way back when
Oh, I'm sorry
And I hope and I pray that this is not the end
I am sorry
Tell me if I'm right
Or tell me if I'm wrong
That you should be within my heart where you belong
So darling, please don't go
I'm begging you to stay
Cos I know, I know things are meant to be this way
Oh, I'm sorry
And whatever it is, I won't do it again
Oh, I'm sorry
But I've loved you since the dawn of way back when
Oh, I'm sorry
And I hope and I pray that this is not the end
I am sorry
Oh, I'm sorry
And whatever it is, I won't do it again
Oh, I'm sorry
But I've loved you since the dawn of way back when
Oh, I'm sorry
And I hope and I pray that this is not the end
I am sorry
I am sorry

Dust Cloud
05:04
|

I saw you
Floating away
On a dust cloud filled with grey
And I watch you
Down by the sea
As you slowly drift from me
You’re singing
Sing me to sleep
As I feel our love so deep
And you held me
There by your side
And I know how hard you tried
I miss you
As I try to hide
From the hours I have cried
But you’re smiling
Smiling at me
From your dust cloud above the sea
I saw you
Down by the sea
As you slowly drift from me
And I watch you
Floating away
On a dust cloud filled with grey

Pink Blossom Snow
03:43
|

Pink blossom snow
Falling down to the ground
As I walk on home
I picked a daffodil
Put it on the window-sill
All alone
And flowers mean nothing to me
But I know they used to make you happy
It's quiet and I'm all alone
Call you on the telephone
No one's home
Look at the daffodil
Sitting on the window-sill
All alone
And flowers mean nothing to me
But I know they used to make you happy
These flowers
Falling down from the sky
Oh, why do they make me think of you?
These flowers
Falling down from the trees
Oh, please let me forget you
And your flowers
Falling down from the sky
Oh, why do they make me think of you?
These flowers
Falling down from the trees
Oh, please let me forget you
Let me forget you
For a little while
Pink blossom snow
Falling down to the ground
As I walk on home

Hay-on-Wye
03:18
|
|||
Search for a shooting star
In the sky, see what you find
Just to see what you find
Aeroplanes flickering
In the night, passing me by
Oh, they're passing me by
Climbing trees, skimming stones
Photograph a moment in time
Just a moment in time
Sipping ginger beer
By the riverside, Hay-on-Wye
But that's by the by
Ooh
It's just a moment in time
Tomorrow now, don't know how
Yesterday was lost in a haze
We were lost in a haze
Drifting down the river
With a feeling that it's one of those days
This is one of those days
Waving to the strangers
On the rocks as we're passing them by
Oh, we're passing them by
Drinking cider sitting
By the fireside, Hay-on-Wye
But that's by the by
Ooh
It's just a moment in time
Ooh
It's just a moment in time
Ooh
It's just a moment in time...

Morning Smile
06:13
|
|||
I, I would drive all through the night
As the darkness fades to light
Just to see your Morning Smile
When, when you hold on to me tight
Everything I know is right
Make me feel safe for a while
And she’s with me
As I watch her fall asleep
And she’s dreaming
As I feel our love so deep
And she gives me, she gives me, she gives
All that I need
All that I need
Whenever I see her Morning Smile
Time, time is slowly slipping by
In these moments I’ll reside
When I think of you alone
I, know we have to say goodbye
But I don’t want to see you cry
Though you’re far away from home
And she’s with me
As I watch her fall asleep
And she’s dreaming
As I feel our love so deep
And she gives me, she gives me, she gives
All that I need
All that I need
Whenever I see her Morning Smile
