1-This Town
I don’t go out much these days
there’s never anybody around
It’s like it rains everyday on this god dam town
They say take it or leave it
They’re leavin’ every day
I hear them sigh a sad goodbye and then its on their way
This town was mighty, this town was strong
This town was mighty but this town was wronged
Nothin’ happens nowadays nobody calls around
It’s like there’s a cloud hanging over this town
They say nobody cheated but they’re cheatin’ every day
They moved the goals they sold our souls they gave it all away
Chorus
2-Blueskys
Hey ho, I was thinking of letting go
I was thinking of coming down
And hit the road running
Even though I’ve been down this road before
And my feet are sore
There’s nothing I want more, blueskys
I want to be what it is you see in me
I want to be the best I can
Feel my blood pumping
To tell the truth I could never lie to you
Believe me it’s all true
If it’s the last thing I do, blueskys
You keep this heart of mine beating
You are that look in my eyes
You’re my blueskys
Rivers flow, every day the tides come and go
And the time ticks by
My head keeps spinning
I know, the way this is gonna go
We can take it slow, go with the flow, blueskys.
You keep this heart of mine beating
You are that look in my eye
You’re my blueskys
You are that look in my eyes
You are the how and the why
You are the good stuff
Breaking grey clouds up
My blueskys.
3-One Summers Day
It’s a summers evening
There’s people all over town
The young + the old they’re just sitting around
One of the neighbors has the radio on
And Thin Lizzy singing the cowboy song
It feels’ like a little piece of heaven
Down in the valley the girls + the boys
They’re having’ a good time, it’s a beautiful noise
The Spanish students have taken over the park
They sit around talking and
go home when it’s dark
It feels like this is how it should be
Wouldn’t life be better
If every day could be just like today
You know I love this weather
And we deserve at least one summers day
Out on the street the kids are getting a tan
They’re laughing and screaming
Playing kick the can
There’s a telephone ringing but no ones picking it up
I’m drinking gin from a paper cup
And it feels like this is how it should be
Chorus x2
4-Only Just Begun
They stared up at the stars
In a cloudless sky, they flickered + they danced
As the moon was climbing high
She took a deep breath, wiped away a tear
She took him by the hand
And she whispered in his ear
She said jeany Johnny I love ya
Hold me close now + give me a kiss
I wouldn’t swap ya for a ton of gold
You couldn’t put a price on this
Tell me Johnny that you love me
And you’ll never leave me alone
Are ya sure you’re sure that the future’s secure
C’mon Johnny let’s go home, it’s only just begun
They sat down on the sand
Under the bluest sky, they stared at each other
And they listened to the seagulls cry
When the sun went down they paddled in the sea
Then she took him by the hand and said
Now Johnny you listen to me
Chorus
Only just begun we’re only walking
At the start of a long long road
Only just begun, where we’ll end up, who knows?
Only just begun we’re just strolling
Down in lifes long leafy lane
Only just begun We’re both new to this game.
5-Sweatheart
Till the day I die I will love you sweetheart
Till this old world stops spinnin’ round the stars
Stay with me you’re safe with me
Until I die be my sweetheart
As the years go by like diamonds we will shine
Cause love like this deserves a life time
You and me we’re a certainty
Until I die be my sweetheart
Oh aren’t we the lucky ones
Together strong until our days are done
Until I die be my sweetheart
6-Second Time Around
I heard he left you all alone
A couple a kids and a broken home
Your heart torn in two, all pulled asunder
Left you crying all your tears
That you’ve been holdin’ back for years
I’ll stem the flow
Let my kiss ease your frown
Close your eyes, don’t look down
Let my love break your fall
Let my love ease your pain
No one can hurt you ever again
Let my love break your fall
We’ll have it all
Take my hand, come on walk with me
Take my hand I’ll take you home
Take my hand, come on dance with me
I’ll be your second time around
I heard he treated you real bad
Wasn’t happy with what he had
And he strayed and he played away it’s no wonder
You’re sittin’ here in the dark
Nursin’ that drink and a broken heart
Let it go
Chorus
7-Mona
Mona, shine a little light
I need some help, what do I do now.
Tell me is it left or right
Which road will lead me to where I want to be.
Every footstep of the way
I feel you’re there with me
Every moment of every day
I know you’re there for me
Mona, thank you for this life
This flesh and blood, the years of love you gave to me
So much we never got to share
It’s just not fair the way life can go sometimes.
In your short life you believed
In god and his great plan
Well I hope it’s true and when he met you
He stood up and shook your hand.
Mona the years have flown, my kids have grown
They turned out fine, they stay in touch with me
But how you did what you did with what you had
Remains a mystery.
Mona, take me by the hand
Guide me on my way.
The little child inside the man
Is missing’ you today.
9-Stolen Treasure
You don’t fly anymore
Gone are the days
When I would sit and watch you soar
Over towns + tides
Now you’re lost somewhere inside
Stolen treasure taken from me.
You don’t talk much these days
I recall the time
When we would watch the fire blaze.
Those days are all gone
Lost like your songs
Stolen treasure, taken from me
Gone for good and forever
Lost to me stolen treasure
Treasure taken from me.
You stare right into my face
But your eyes are dead
It’s like they’re lost in a distant gaze
And now all hope is gone
Life just rolls along, stolen treasures
Taken from me.
10-Your Hand in My Hand
I’ve been working like a dog all my days
It’s all for the love of a girl.
I’ve been putting my pennies away
So someday we’ll travel the world.
I’ve been fishing these waters for years
Hauling the herrings and cod
I did all for the love of a girl
I swear to you and to god
Chorus
So tonight when we’re steaming
Steaming back to the land
I’ll dream of reaching the harbor
And taken your hand in my hand
When the winds blows and our little boat rolls
I wish I was back on the shore
Sitting with you by some bright burning coals
A man couldn’t ask for much more
When the nets hauled half empty
And there’s nothing to share and the skipper stares hard
At the crew
I wish I was back on the shore, walking along beside you.
Chorus
My days at sea are numbered I’m sure
I think I’ll go back to the land
Where you’re paid by the week sure we’d never be poor
And the overtimes’ in to your hand
No hard bunk just a soft feather bed
Where my love can lie with me
I think I’ll go back to the land
I’ll say goodbye to the sea.
Chorus
11-Going Home
We watched the sun go down
It disappeared beyond the water
We sat and stared with sand between our toes
The evening was still warm so we stayed a little longer
Couldn’t bring ourselves to pack our things and go
When the day was finally gone
The moon and stars looked on
As hand in hand we crossed the sand + headed home
Goin’ home, goin’ home
Headin’ home, goin’ home
We watched the sun come up
It rose and warmed the ocean
It shone down on the mountains + the lakes
It brightened up the world and like some magic potion
It came and put a smile up on its face
And it shone on you and I
From its home in the blue sky
As hand in hand we crossed the sand + headed home
Chorus
We wake up every day, we take it all from granted
Life goes on the world, keeps spinning round
You can live your life in fear,
You can hide beneath the blankets
Or you can stand up + face it down
So put your hand in mine
I think it’s about time that you and me
Had somewhere to be. Let’s go home
