lyrics

COUNTRY GIRL What am I doing here in the city I like to look around and see things that are pretty look around Come on Becky won't you look around? Well I spoke to my friend Jimmy, he said I always thought you were a country girl What am I doing living here in the city I like to walk around in places that are pretty Walk around Come on Becky won't you walk around? Well I spoke to my friend Jimmy, he said I always thought you were a country girl I can still can see the stars pale though they may be People rushing around in cars they got to get from A to B They got people to see I like green things don't like mean things Keep your head down, just don't look around Come on Becky don't you look around Well I spoke to my friend Jimmy, he said I always thought you were a country girl

RUBY I think today might be the day it snows Did you feel the cold last night? I'll stand and hold you by the window And we'll watch the world turn white You know I can't believe the way she grows Reaching up towards the light I'll stand and watch her from a distance Always keeping her in sight Ruby mine Rubylein Ruby mine Rubylein Sometimes I wonder at the things she knows As she learns what's wrong and right She's making sense of all the daytimes When she talks to me at night Some day I'll have to watch her as she goes And to trust she'll be alright May all your tales have happy endings And may all your days be bright Ruby mine Rubylein Ruby mine Rubylein Take this time and hold it near Hold on tight to what is dear Ruby mine Rubylein Ruby mine Rubylein I think today might be the day it snows Did you feel the cold last night?

The Week 03:17
lyrics

THE WEEK I said I'd stay at home Tidy up and write some songs A week just on my own It's not that long I slept a day away And then some friends called by I went to see a play Next day I cried On the day that you missed me I missed you too On the day you cried for me I cried for you I cried for you, I cried for you On the day that I missed you It took me by surprise How much I felt at sea I could not use the time Just to be free It took me till day five Till I could feel at home Happy to be alive And on my own On the day... I realised I must slow down Take some time to drift away Slowly steam the day away Come out like new On the day...

COME HOME TO ME Well goodbye then, I'll see you some time I know you don't know when you'll be home I'll be fine here, with the radio I'll be fine here on my own Have you eaten, are you hungry? We could talk or maybe watch a show Don't you want to, do you love me? You know it's hard for me to know I have to stay here, can't got travelling And you know it's where I want to be But it's lonely here without you Won't you please come home to me

CAMELIA I'd pick up one maybe two But you find a whole bagful Pink, white and red, spread them out Then you choose just a lucky few You surprise me With your amazing ways You surprise me On these happy days Camelia Camelia Time and a tide and a place Where I floated a single one Taking my love, my farewell On a journey just partly done Then you surprised me In an amazing way You surprised me On a happy day Camelia Camelia Flower on a tree, in a pot By a house, in a city park Bringing a colour, a brightness a lightness against the dark You surprise me In an amazing way You surprise me On these happy days Camelia...

WORD There's a lot in the way you say a word A word can soothe A word can heal A word to end the day I just wanted us to say goodnight In a good way I just wanted us to make things right In a good way There's a lot in the way you say a word A word can harm A word can hurt Can wash a world away I just wanted us to say goodnight In a good way I just wanted us to make things right In a good way Pick up these broken things Mend but not make do Love has rings and slings To your own heart be true There's a lot...

LIGHT There was a time you nearly disappeared Faded into thin air I turned around and you are here again, next to me I tried to travel on my own Carrying a heavy heart I turned around and you are here again, next to me So we start again All around, friends' things shed a light Rainbows shine Light comes through tiny holes in paper cut with love Last thing at night I look out to see a stranger's light In the rooftop of the houses next to me So we start again So we start again I see a flicker on your face Beacon in the dark I turn around and you are here again, next to me I see you laughing once again Spin me in your arms I turn around and you are here again, next to me So we start again So we start again - tonight

HAPPY HERE If there was only this This place in time If this was all there was We would be fine We would be happy here Happy here If this was all we knew This single place If this was all we had Our little space We would be happy here Happy here Here is where we are Is where we will be Now is all we have Is all there is If we were all there was A hand to hold A friend, a face A warmth against the cold We would be happy here Happy here Here is where we are Is where we will be Now is all we have Is all there is If there was only this This place in time If this was all there was We would be fine We would be happy here Happy here

EDEN I put my old clothes on and I went down to Eden And I felt so happy in the garden I took my breakfast and I ate it down at Eden And I felt so happy in the garden I found friends to say hello to I found food that I had grown I found a toad hiding in the rocket I found herbs to take back home I put my old clothes on and I went down to Eden And I felt so happy in the garden We take a picnic and we go down to Eden And we feel so happy in the garden There are children playing people talking as they're working And we feel so happy in the garden There are friends to say hello to There is food that we have grown There are snails and bees and tadpoles There are herbs to take back home We take a picnic and we go down to Eden And we feel so happy in the garden We come together and we have a party And we feel so happy in the garden...

Telescopic 02:15

TELESCOPIC Time travelling Climbing Lightening years go by A silent progress reaching my eye Then suddenly folding fading back to endless sky Upon a distant hill Lonely tree A tiny fishing boat Open sea A blur of a figure Waving waltzing free And we are there in seconds Opening up and speeding in on other spheres from here
