1.Wonder Child
This child he means the world to me, there is no more enchanted
A child can take this place of ruin, and magically enhance it.
I see him in a golden room, with the book of life before him
Strange instruments upon his charts, and the crystal glow inside
him.
He's your wonder child, and my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, i see him now flying over the
universe.
This child will build a violin, one will follow the traveller's
love
Another will the bow apply, to reach the one above.
I see her in a golden room, with the moon and stars above her
Her simple smile is heaven's gate, with the queen of all beside
her.
She's your wonder child, and my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, i see her now flying over the
universe.
Your wonder child, and my dreams come true
You've searched all your life, i see them now flying over the
universe.
2.The Circus
The sky collapsed around us, you didn't seem to care
I hailed you through the raindrops, you weren't even there.
I juggle with the breakfast, you fret behind the sheets
I want you to be steadfast, you want to be released.
Chorus：
Oh my pretty darling, where did we go astray
Oh my pretty darling, i thought you'd come to stay.
We're all dollied up for the circus, oh isn't it grand
We're laughing, jumping and kissing, we're beating the band.
I've got no more smiles to win you, no tricks to turn your head
When love cannot continue, there's not much to be said.
Chorus
It's all cut and thrust at the circus, and maybe makes three
You're twisting my words into serpents, i'm down on my knees.
Oh my pretty darling, i thought you'd come to stay
I thought you'd come to stay, i thought you'd come to stay.
3.In A Dream
Something about this is precious, something about this is sad
Something about this is better, than i've ever had
Hard and lean, you know what i mean？
How do the roots become tangled？ why does the spirit grow tired？
Where is the key to your kingdom？ yes that's my desire.
Chorus：
There are those who live to count the cost
And then those who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, in a dream, this living
dream.
Up in a heap i'm not bothered, down in the dumps i'm okay
Here in my heart you're the best road, that i'll ever take, i'm
serene yeh.
Chorus：
There are those who live to take the chance
And then more who find themselves content
I see heaven mapped out in advance
It is you and that's my journeys end, in a dream, this living
dream.
I'm trying to hang on to the essence, i'm feeling more faint by
the day
It took such a long time to get it, i don't want to see it
erased
Chorus：
There are those who live to count the cost
And then more who count themselves content
I see heaven wrapped up in a box
It is you come back to love again, in a dream, this living dream
This living dream.
4.Soul Sister
Looking back
Down that long road you have travelled
And i see
All the pain that you have suffered
A young girl waks on ancient sand
Desert flower in her hand
Barefoot on the red heartland
Innocence makes few demands
Heart and soul
My soul sister
Got that special part of me
Such sweet love
And deep devotion
Who would tame what's wild and free？
Here we are
In this crazy, crazy world
Circumstance
Can lead you on to desperation
Love can save the weary heart
Or it can tear us all apart
I would rather take that chance
Than to never trust again
Heart and soul
My soul sister
Got that special part of me
Such sweet love and deep devotion
Who would tame what's wild and free？
Looking forward
Down that long road we might travel
And i see
All the joy that is recovered
See the young boy by the river side
He throws a stick to the other side
It carries with the rising tide
Sometimes we might reach too high
Heart and soul
My soul sister
Got that special part of me
Such sweet love and deep devotion
Who would tame what's wild and free？
Loving heart so wild and free
Who could chance what's wild and free？
5.All That Hammering
I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow,
Like peace was the break between wars,
I'm still partly new now, but mostly older,
And i can not say i'm so sure.
Chorus
I never trusted happiness, as far as i could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause i would know it,
All of that hammering in the dark, like a new noah working on
his ark,
On his ark.
I may look back at today and feel foolish,
My old view was right all along,
I will rush in, where no angels are walking,
And fight for the right to be wrong.
Chorus
'cause i never trusted happiness, as far as i could throw it,
Always preparing for the worst, 'cause i would know it,
Of that hammering in the dark, like a new noah working on his
ark,
On his ark.
Between my potential and the deep blue sea,
There's a rock and a diamond either side of me,
Between our potential and the break of day,
There is nothing at all in our way,
Nothing in our way.
6.Donegal Breeze
Chorus
With your dark hair in the donegal breeze,
Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground,
But, there's madness in the sycamore trees,
And there's no salvation to be found.
Right now the only thing that my mind ever holds,
Are long dark silences or screaming that explodes,
Burning rocking beds with visions of a land,
Long dark tunnels, questions and calm,
But, with you, you know i have no doubts,
And fear will have no sting,
With your brilliant eyes and your lost and broken wing,
My head upon your shoulder as you take me in your arms,
Continents will crumble, we will find no harm.
Chorus
With your dark hair in the donegal breeze,
Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground,
But, there's madness in the sycamore trees,
And there's no salvation to be found.
Well i'll brace myself against the dark, endeavour to go on,
No matter how long it takes, and even though i might be wrong,
And i will ask a little favour of whatever god i find,
And i will come back for you darling, when i find some peace of
mind.
Well i don't know about tomorrow, it will be here and gone,
I don't know about tonight, it'll be too long,
Sometimes i think i'm dying, and i don't care how,
All i know is that i want you, and i want you here and now.
Chorus
With your dark hair in the donegal breeze,
Bringing me softly and sweetly to the ground,
But, there's madness in the sycamore trees,
And there's no salvation to be found.
7.A Stones Throw From The Soul
Love showed me it's riches late last spring
Took me to it's breast and gave me wings
I truly did believe
And still i was deceived
Love made me it's witness one fine spring
Life seemed dark and beautiful at once
All mixed upside down and back to front
It was hard to know what's what
The light went on and off
Life was stark and plentiful at once
Maybe time really does heal wounds
Maybe love doesn't know
A mere heartbeat from happiness
A stone's throw from the soul
Days lived with a will
Days as fine as can be
Days grace on my morning pillow
Days i'm longing to see
Sunlight blows the winter one last kiss
Me i hold my breath and make my wish
We live through thick and thin
Where evil sometimes wins
Me i try my best and think of this
That maybe time really does heal wounds
And maybe love doesn't know
A mere heartbeat from happiness
A stone's throw from the sould
8.Free As Stone
Phone calls and taxi-rides
And somebody's leaving
Misunderstandings get out of control
And the right words get left
And the wrong words get spoken
He's gone but not your pride
Chorus
Not much can help
The full heart that's breaking
Can't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to the bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
Look at you now
You're the picture of sorrow
Head in your hands
Like a scene from a movie
And all of the things
That seemed so important
Are leaves and are blowing away
Chorus
Nothing can help
The full heart that's breaking
You can't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to the bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
Walk through this town
On a cold sunday morning
Soldiers in uniforms
Guns in their hands
The world all caught up
With barbed wire fences
I'm free i'm free as stone
Chorus
Oh nothing can help
The full heart that's breaking
Won't find the words
And you can't hide the feelings
And it's down to bone
To the heart of the matter
You're free free as stone
You're free free as stone
9.Looking Forward
I never cared about the car i'd drive
Or the room i'd sleep or the bus i'd ride
Just as long as i could get somewhere
And not get hurt i could breathe out there
I knew i could be free out there ... could be me
I never cared about the word prestige
About no inside track or no noblesse oblige
Just as long as i could pay my way
And pull my weight and say my say
As long as i could pay my way ... i could say
Bridge
I never had no plans just dreams and vague directions
I would not make my stand
I the house of corrections
Now i can see at last i see that everything is changing
And if you want to hold on fast the future needs arranging
Chorus
Now i'm looking forward to you
Now i'm looking forward to you
My former view was backward
My backward view as blue
Now i'm looking forward to you
Love had a weight designed to bring me down
My hands would sweat and my heart would pound
Now i've learned it and i've turned around
And i hanker for that anchor sound
I hanker for that anchor sound
Once designed to bring me down
Repeart bridge ＆ chorus
10.Gabriel
Chorus
Gabriel gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Oh gabriel gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Heaven knows i love you
And heaven knows how true
I'd be for you
People have their failings
And i know that i've got mine
I know i've been ungrateful
I know i've been unkind
Chorus
Gabriel gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Oh come on gabriel gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Down into the valleys
And out across the sea
Our dreams go
Caught up in a loving
So much stronger than we knew
That could tear our world apart
Or with some fate just pull us through
Chorus
Gabriel oh gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Gabriel gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Time will wait for no one
And time will take it's toll
And we'll grow old
Weary from the fighting
Worn out from a war
Where no one can surrender
Or wants to fight anymore
Chorus
Gabriel gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Gabriel gabriel
Save this heart from hell
Gabriel gabriel
Open you heart and mine as well
Oh gabriel gabriel
This heart's in hell
Repeat
11.Raven In The Storm
I'm the latest apparition
Cutting slices in the night
I come through without permission
Moving in and out of human sight
I'm the tapping on your shoulder
I am the raving in the storm
I'll take shelter in you rafters
I'm the shiver when you're warm
I'm the gold in california
I am the well in mexico
Like the vultures in the valley
I will wait for you to go
I'm the gypsy in you pocket
I am the horseman in your dreams
I'm the reason dogs are barking
I am the hand that stops the scream
I am the baby's cry that isn't
I am the distant relative
I'm the scratching in the ceiling
I am advice you shouldn't give
I'm the ghost of a travelling salesman
My foot will be there in your door
Though i can walk through walls and windows
I will knock just like before
I am the darkness in your daughter
I am the spot beneath the skin
I am the scarlet on the pavement
I am the broken heart within
I won't take a train to nowhere
I will not touch just anyone
Ask a stranger why i'm waiting
In the chamber of a gun
