Welcome to the water's edge. To you I'll give my pledge. Here upon the sandy beach. I'll rest my weary head. . I will give my brightest day. In the darkness I will pray.
I've searched for love and I've searched for truth. But I must admit I've almost given up trying. So many things I said in haste. And now I'm scared of my own emotions.
Emily cries in her bedroom at night. Dreams in her sleep of the boy that she loves. Letters he sent will she treasure before. Scattered in pieces on her bedroom floor.
Well, I thought I was headed for the Hebrides Islands. Look at me now, here I am two miles from the Panama canal. Oh, baby you let me down. Oh, you let me down, yeah.
So what if it rains?. What if it's raining?. Where will we go?. And where, where is the sun?. Why won't it shine?. You promised it would. . I don't know if I will see you again.
I will be your Jesus. I will be your shining light. I will be your everything. Just let me in tonight. . I'll be your lover. I'll be your honey. I'll be your Jesus.
There's not much care on every hand. And every hour that passes-oh. What signifies the life of man. If it were not for the lasses-oh. . Chorus:. Green grow the rashes-oh.
I'm feeling very dark today. Very sad today. I thought I had it all worked out. I thought i'd buried all my doubts. Oh, if could touch the sky I would try.
If you ever come across the sea. You're just wastin' your time, wastin' your time. Over here we are losers, some people. We are way out of line, way out of line.
So frightened, so worried. So cold and it's raining. My naive illusions. Distraught by confusion. You're laughing, I'm crying. Outside it's still raining.
At a night, is worth a candle. Ye talk a while among good friends. Daybreak brings another journey. God knows where we'll meet again. . Chorus:. Over hills and valleys.
This time there's no happy ending. This time the whole thing's for real. This time you've got what you wanted. This time it's almost surreal. . And in my mind it seemed so clear.
I know sometimes I'm hard. I know sometimes I'm cruel. I know sometimes I'm slow. And often act the fool. And though I think the world of you. But I can't take it all my time.
I hear my father shouting at my mother. In the room next door. He's always threatening to pack his bags. 'Cause he can't take it anymore. And my brother's anorexic.
Things have changed since I was a girl. I used to be pretty in gingham (?) and pearls. Things have changed since I was a girl. And life was cool and one big social world.
So much tragedy etched on her face. Now she sits alone in an old rocking chair,. And nobody cares, in the room at the top of the stairs. . In her cupboard that's full of glass jars.
Well the cat is in the barn, the booze is in the brain. The evil's in the woman, I am lost in the rain. Night's coming on I need a place to stay. Squat in a barn, Crash in the hay.
If I wanted to I'd write a book. But it would take some time. I'd spend my life writing poetry. Thinking of words that have to rhyme. I just haven't got the time.
Lend an ear, come listen to me. Of my life, the song of the sea. I came from Wales, a soldier I was sworn. Discharged from the army, a pirate was born.
Even when the sky is grey. The sun will have the final say. So take another look outside. . And when you think you've seen it all. And when you think you've lost it all.
