VIII - Home To Love

Flying to My Home

Full Moon's Eve

A Man with Children

The Blue Shines Through

Calico Skies

Waterfalls

Pictures in Song

No Rhyme

My Love

FLYING TO MY HOME

The sun is fading in the west

Out where the cattle roam

I'm like a bird at the end of the day

Flying to my home

I'm flying to my home sweet majesty

I'm flying to my home

The sky is like a painted flag

Above a sea of chrome

I've got a woman living in my life

Living in my home

I'm flying to my home sweet majesty

I'm flying to my home

I haven't been back for so long

I don't know if I'm going to recognise it

They gave the old place a new face

And I'm going to take some time

To size the situation up

I haven't been back for so long

I don't know if I'm going to recognise it

They gave the old place a new face

And I'm going to take some time

To size the situation up

The sun is fading in the west

Out where the cattle roam

I've got a woman living in my life

Living in my home

I'm flying to my home sweet majesty

I'm flying to my home

I'm flying to my home

I'm flying to my home

I'm flying to my home

I'm flying to my home sweet majesty

I'm flying to my home...

FULL MOON'S EVE

On a full moon'e eve

A tiger sprang

And gnawed on

Who I used to be

A pale haze lights

The fox's eye

And . . .

Checking once

He leaves by a hole in the hedge

Old loves return

To kiss the lips

In case the empty gallery

Should fill with whispering strangers

Like a flood

A MAN WITH CHILDREN

I am a man with children

Namely, Heather, Mary, Stella, Sid and James

Well Sid's a lie

But who are you to know

About a fool such as I?

Winds hop and bump

Along the corrugated roof

But here inside

A man of pride

In children

A winter wind was one to blame

For lying us so close

To make each child

And I was told

For each that growed

Their personality would stay

And I'm well proud

THE BLUE SHINES THROUGH

You're responsible

for the hole in my soul

the hole in my tablecloth

the hole in my jacket top

But the hole shines blue

The hole shines blue

I'm responsible

for the bolt in your neck

the bolt from the blue

the bolt on the door

But the blue shines through

the hole in my soul

The blue shines through

The hole shines blue.

CALICO SKIES

It was written that I would love you

From the moment I opened my eyes

And the morning when I first saw you

Gave me life under calico skies.

I will hold you for as long as you like

I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Always looking for ways to love you

Never failing to fight at your side

While the angels of love protect us

From the innermost secrets we hide

I'll hold you for as long as you like

I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Long live all of us were crazy soldiers who

were born under calico skies

May we never be called to handle

All the weapons of war we despise

I'll hold you for as long as you like

I'll hold you for the rest of my life

I'll hold you for as long as you like

I'll love you for the rest of my...

For the rest of my life

WATERFALLS

Don't go jumping waterfalls,

Please, keep to the lake.

People who jump waterfalls,

Sometimes can make mistakes.

And I need love ,

Yeah, I need Love,

Like a second needs an hour,

Like a raindrop needs a shower.

Yeah, I need Love,

Ev'ry minute of the day,

And it wouldn't be the same

If you ever should decide to go away.

And I need Love,

Yeah, I need love,

Like a castle needs a tower,

Like a garden needs a flower.

Yeah ,I need Love

Ev'ry minute of the day

And it wouldn't be the same

If you ever should decide to go away.

Don't go chasing polar bears

In the great unknown.

Some big friendly polar bear,

Might want to take you home.

And I need love ,

Yeah, I need Love,

Like a second needs an hour,

Like a raindrop needs a shower.

Yeah, I need Love,

Ev'ry minute of the day,

And it wouldn't be the same

If you ever should decide to go away.

Don't run after motor cars,

Please stay on the side.

Someone's glossy motor car

Might take you for a ride.

And I need Love,

Yeah,I need Love,

Like a castle needs a tower,

Like a garden needs a flower.

Yeah,I need Love,

Said , I need Love,

Like a raindrop needs a shower,

Like a second needs an hour.

Ev'ry minute of the day,

And it wouldn't be the same

If you ever should go away

Don't go jumping waterfalls,

Please , keep to the lake.

PICTURES IN SONG

Most of her days

She sits waiting for someone

Dreaming of romance

Some day he'll come along.

Most of my life has been spent

Painting pictures in song.

He fills his time

Slowly building a home

They can be proud of

Makes it big and strong

I find that I fill my time

Painting pictures in song.

Some spend their time

Trying to learn how

To measure the distance between

Right and wrong

Most of my time has been spent

Painting pictures in song

I'll be content

Painting pictures in song.

NO RHYME

No rhyme, no reason,

No ship, no shape.

We lie in our long bed

Making escape.

MY LOVE

And when I go away

I know my heart can stay with my love

It's understood

It's in the hands of my Love

And my Love does it good

My Love does it good

And when the cupboards bare

I'll still find something there with my Love

It's understood

It's everywhere with my Love

And my Love does it good

My Love does it good

I love Oh Wo......my Love

Only my Love holds the other key to me

Oh....my Love Oh...my Love

Only my Love does it good to me

My Love does it good

Don't ever ask me why

I never say goodbye to my Love

It's understood

It's everywhere with my Love

And my love does it good

Wo,wo,wo,wo….

My Love does it good

Oh....my Love oh...my Love

Only my Love does it good to me

Wo..................
