Running Rites -lyrics

 

Souvenir

Many happy returns

were mislead or never sent

And your sentence, all over again

you’re chasing Zen.

 

Many happy returns

now or never it’s – heads or tails

And the year of the Deer

running in North Wales.

 

All along the road

stories were told

All along the coast

on and off like waves

Break on to the shore

the line they walk along

and hold on strong.

 

All along the road

stories were told

All along the coast

they walk alone – in pairs

Up and down the number of the stairs

and footsteps you were to share

and take care of your Souvenir.

Handyman

 

You can – you take

advantage and blame

the driving rain

it’s all the same.

 

You’re ready – steady

for every fall

You’re dressed up

for another Ball.

                                           

In your Toolbox

all the shame

heavy tools without a name.

 

In your Toolbox

pride or groom

fills this lonesome living room.

 

Walking on

his battlefield

a useless tool

without a shield.

 

Afraid of nails

on the floor

waiting for – another

hammer to fall.

 

Walking all the way back home

feel it so close to the bone.

 

You think your balls

and holding hands

 could break this wall

to new romance.

Jukeboxing

 

You sleep alone
in the dark

corner of this hip-hop block.

 

Your face of plastic

in this harbour

of ground breaking stock.

 

Is switched off

your Jukebox

is kicked off.

 

Touch the Button

choose the ground

movin’ – tunin’

the Forgotten One.

 

You stand alone

like a stranger here

his hand on the shoulder.

 

Your colourful armor

in this harbour

of laughing stock.

 

Just another fingertip

will kick you

through this trip

 

and play this piece all over

and over again.

Selling Down The River

 

This river is running faster

everyday, my Captain

She brings me another

Chapter - or so they say

the Dice, my Partner

in front of my eyes.

 

On the riverbank

you’re always looking back.

There is another show

that’s sliding slow – you hesitate

and then make a date

where the wild things grow.

 

My Luck how Fair you run like the River

Double six – now could you fix – I wish

All this makes me shiver.

 

’Cross the Ocean to the other side

where you want is hard to find

an Iceberg, you’re drifting blind

and river it runs oh so wide.

 

’Cross the Ocean on the other side

where there’s so much Love to hide

even in the Rising Tide

and all you want is to be kind.

 

Take me to the place I know.

Take me to where I belong.

 

My Luck how Fair you run like the River.

Double six – now could you fix – I feel

like Selling down the River.

Absence

 

Take a good look

in your pockets.

What have you got

behind the seams.

The face of your

running dreams, indeed.

What you really need

lies underneath.

 

Are you carrying the power

bringing the flower

in full bloom in

the darkest room?

Or what if you think,

you know what I mean,

the wall inbetween

you and me.

 

  This is your Moor, once more

  you enter the Door.

  This is your Moor, once more

  you’re standing at the Door.

  This is your Moor, once more.

 

Let alone the one

who flew to Dublin.

All the way - and just

in time, you’re running

through suburban

and what if you think,

the One bringing

the ring? You’re Genuine.

 

  This is your Moor, once more

  you’re standing at the Door.

  This is your Moor, once more

  you knock on the Door.

  This is your Moor, once more.

 

And you’re watching me

like the TV – could I be

like the one from Notting Hill.

In Gratitude

 

Suddenly

without any warnings

shedding tears invisible

for the sake of unknown reasons.

 

Suddenly

the echoes of the nature

covering everything

from heavenly sounds to undertones.

 

And you couldn’t fall in the Big Sleep

you had that September night

and the dream still in full bloom

in her moonlit room.

 

Suddenly

without any warnings

shedding tears invisible

for the sake of unknown reasons.

 

Sometimes you’re not that strong

and the Weakness it might scare you

you recall in the Moonlight

one of the last days in the fall.

 

When starting to appreciate

the Beauty of it all

When starting to see those yesterdays

in this light of day – who would you call?

 

When everything’s so close

you’re too close to be caught

know this what they call solitude.

But this song’s in gratitude for you.

The Driver

 

I’m a Driver

god damn I am

the deep diver

to Nothing’am.

With all the Rage

you know this Age

in this Driving Cage.

 

Would you be my guest

and drive until you dive?

Would you be my guest

and drive until you find

the end of the line

the ways you drive

to the rhythm and rhyme

that shivers down your spine.

 

I’m a Driver

god damn I am

the deep diver

to Nothing’am.

And it’s taking

me higher than high

ways ’cross this time.

 

Would you be my guest

Someday you’ll find the rest.

Would you be my guest

Someday you’ll find the rest

back against the wall

you’ll never fall

I could have sworn.

 

I could have flown,

my only Jewel,

I could have shown

my best Pint of Fuel.

Capel Curig

 

Silence - only streams

continuing, over the hill.

You were to share the view

and this is - you’re standing still.

 

Higher than the fall of

streams, you’re head over heels.

Closer than the Four-Leaf-Clover

and you start all over

like the New Rover.

 

Today – this is a good start

all the way from Fishguard.

Today – will you grow like tree

when you’re living like a falling stream.

 

Today – Today – you keep falling on.

Today – Today – she wore a Yellow Ribbon.

And you know we might grow old

or remain unfold.

 

Silent – only dreams

continuing, in the Closing Time.

On and off outdoors - you’re given

nature of your great rewind

in this fading daylight.

 

Today – like all the other Knights

you know there are no other times.

Today – you see the setting sun

the only Rover in the long run.

 

And if I watch carefully

I can see those streams

Flowing in the – flowing in the

eyes of my Dear Friend.

 

Today – Today – keep on telling the Tale.

Today – Today – your own Grail.

And you know we’re a falling flow

in the valley below.

Running Rite

 

Circle is the same.

Running every day.

Release – and this breeze

is taking over you.

Release – wild as child

hound you’re running round

and colourblind

carrying out

the Cheyenne Rite.

 

  Dog, you’re Dancing

  on your own way

  for the Chief.

  Dog, you’re Dancing

  running every day

  to an easy relief.

  Circle is the same.

 

Circle is the same.

Running every day.

Understand – there’s a chance.

This one dance.

Who’s in command?

Understand – you’ll join

or run out of reach

maybe retrieve

and follow the chief

if you please.

 

Circle is the same.

Running every day.

Freeze – still this breeze

and the same old melody.

Freeze – still out of reach

you run in Cities

and their Prairies

in front of me

the same old

ceremony.

 

And the Seekers drumming

the ground in Circles.

And the Seekers drumming

the ground in Circles.

Liverpool

 

You know the Fields

are fine and every day

closed in time.

And every day I try

to work in my own

class without a mask.

 

Never mind – I’m on your side

I could be sold – I could be tied

skin and bone, your

stepping stone, I know

the show and will follow

run the risk maybe sorrow.

 

Brush the boots, rather

than Red Cherries

more black and bitter

Are the berries to pick

in this Public House

of tricks.

 

And even if I lose

someone like you

I’ll never choose

their loony tunes

and if I choose

any bride or groom

 

Must be as

cool as you.

 

And in Liverpool.

You’ll never walk alone.
