Sweet Slip 03:33
There’s a place I know Wind around the blue Haven’t been there since The colors all were you Do the birds still sing? Does the water ring? Have the trees got leaves? The meadow is calling Take the long way home Watch the sun tuck in Give me just your hand You’ll always be my friend. There’s a man I know Flowers in his eyes He has got big wings And he’s learning to fly Spread my heart and lean The stars are in his skin Paper thin are walls You’re warm against me There’s a sweet slip in my pocket Don’t forget to reach Have you ever felt so lucky? Are we shining like the moon? There’s a place I know Wind around the blue Haven’t been there since The colors all were you.

Lady Lucifer 03:17
I’m one of those fast walkers Cause I’ve got someplace to be Got no time for any slow talkers I’ve got a girl to see We have known each other For so many centuries We used to just eye one another And we’ve got so many memories But then she brought me to the table One night I couldn’t believe it was me Sitting right across from my morning star Lady Lucifer she says she loves me Lady Lucifer I’ve got to prove it to you I’ve got to prove it to you That I can bring my soul to this world She held me close when I shook all over Her face was made for solace I didn’t know until I felt the feelings She turns on all my hidden switches I lighten up like a hill on fire Seen away from a great distance Miles below there’s vein of ore Glistening in its only light But then she brought me to the table One night I couldn’t believe it was me Sitting right across from my morning star Lady Lucifer she says she loves me Lady Lucifer I’ve got to prove it to you I’ve got to prove it to you That I can bring my soul to this world Lady Lucifer she says she loves me Lady Lucifer Lady Lucifer she says she loves me Lady Lucifer

In an upstairs room in Blackpool By the side of a northern sea The army had my father And my mother was having me Military madness was killing my country Solitary sadness comes over me After school was over And I moved to the other side I found another country But I never lost my pride Military madness was killing my country So much sadness between you and me And when the war is over And the body count is finally filed I hope that man discovers What’s driving the people wild Military madness is killing my country Solitary sadness comes over me

Darlin, it’s only a feeling. Darlin, it’s just a cruel thought that you had. Like dreams that come true, you believed in them too so believe in the good and in me. Honey, I just heard you cryin. Honey, my own tears are fallin for you. I’ll wait for you here, doesn’t matter the year. Cause you babe are written for me. Why don’t you come into my arms? I’m not so far away. I have been wanting to hold you. Fold into the warm earth of your skin. Blood cherry red and blue burning blue, you’re deep inside the ground. Already home in the bed of your arms, slow steady glow in our palms. Darlin, the clouds we can walk through. Darlin, it’s dark till you open your eyes. The reality dear is not what you fear. It’s the most beautiful sight to be seen.

My love is a fearful thing My love you should be afraid of My love keeps you in sight My love keeps my beat uneven in the morning Once I feel it fully Then my doubts get sullen They're all standing blue in a grimy corner of my head They're angry cause I care about you and bully me saying I've been duped There ain't a world they say that doesn't tarnish my faith There ain't a world they say where I get my way My love is a cautious king His head in the past I dread my love's conclusions My love I dread My love's conclusions I live in a powder keg But I'm hoping that I can stay Cause we'll light up the evening sky even if we die Once I feel it fully Then my doubts get sullen They're all standing blue in a grimy corner of my head They're angry cause I care about you and bully me saying I've been duped There ain't a world they say that doesn't tarnish my faith There ain't a world they say where I get my way But there's a world, I say, where I get my way
