Many Moons 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Wearing out my shoes I'm wearing out my soles I'm wearing out, walking back and fore trying to find Spirit of rock 'n' roll I'm wearing out, walking back and fore trying to find Spirit of rock 'n' roll I thought I'd found the answer So much left to find Out of hand now, now it stands Mountains in my mind Mountains in my mind Many moons Many moons have gone Many moons Sing a lonely song Many moons Many moons have gone Many moons Sing a lonely song Sing a lonely song Rolling out the numbers That every body knows The ones not heard, not heard anymore On the radio Gotta get that feeling back Gotta find that groove It's an old dream, remains to be seen If it's my wisest move If it's my wisest move Many moons Many moons have gone Many moons Sing a lonely song Many moons Many moons have gone Many moons Sing a lonely song Sing a lonely song Sing a lonely song Sing a lonely song

Fallin' Leaves 03:54
lyrics

It's cold in the mountains, the season has changed Rain floods the valley, storm howls deranged Every which way the wind wants to go Broken umbrella flaps like a crow Fallin' leaves rusty brown Fallin' leaves blow around It's pouring orange, it's pouring gold Following along the yellow leafed road Busted scarecrow going for broke Jackdaws bathe in chimney smoke Fallin' leaves rusty brown Fallin' leaves blow around All over Jumbotown Fallin' leaves rusty brown Fallin' leaves blow around It's cold in the mountains, sky grey on grey Not in my right mind, I keep losing my way Lost to the swirl, turbulent tumbling Black as a rook, curses I'm grumbling Fallin' leaves rusty brown Fallin' leaves blow around All over Jumbotown Fallin' leaves hit the ground Fallin' leaves blow around All over Jumbotown Fallin' leaves rusty brown Fallin' leaves blow around All over Jumbotown Fallin' leaves on my crown Fallin' leaves blow around All over Jumbotown

Angel Of The Highway 05:12
lyrics

Angel of the highway Busted in the weeds Where winds whistle Strange tunes to me I'm to the harvest combined It's hard driving those lines Over the whale-backed climbs Raising songs to pass, pass the time She showed me the path through Where lions roam Places where a storm's born Where few call home I took a far lesser deal I couldn't put up with the spiel It felt like a good thing to me From cool to mellow eventually Find me a travelling song All solace for my soul I run an endless circle down Long, long dusty roads I took a far lesser deal I couldn't put up with the spiel It felt like a good thing to me From cool to mellow eventually Angel of the highway Broke down in the weeds This tired old truck Resents company Alone in this freakout cafe I'm trying to map out a way I sense that my spirit is strained And the reason why I'm looked, I'm looked at strange Find me a travelling song All solace for my soul I run an endless circle down Long, long dusty roads All solace for my soul Long, long dusty roads Alone in this freakout cafe I'm trying to map out a way I sense that my spirit is strained And the reason why I'm looked, I'm looked at strange Find me a travelling song All solace for my soul I run an endless circle down Long, long dusty roads

Loosen The Load 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Low water River flows like rain down a wall Easy to cross Fish look like they're all learning, learning to crawl They look lost They look lost I remember what What your Pa said to me ('Look after her well') Well, funny that Now you look after me We're doing swell We're doing swell We're doing swell We're doing swell Let's sit down a while Loosen the load Seven days of heaven Music of the road Summer and the wheat fields And barley in full flow Like old men with whiskers Stooping low All the town's folk Don't worry who we are They give out friendly smiles Strange dwellers on sides of lanes in cars Mile after mile Mile after mile Mile after mile Mile after mile Let's sit down a while Loosen the load Seven days of heaven Music of the road Summer and the wheat fields And barley in full flow Like old men with whiskers Stooping low Stooping low Stooping low

Looking For Something 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Did we believe? I don't know, I can't say We were looking around Just looking for something It was that age, a period, a certain time We were looking around Bad case of something What did we want, did we need, did we know? Looking around For something Random walk, endless talk, day and night We were looking around Bad case of something Either on or off the bus We tried to live without the fuss Bring it on, no nonsense types Clearly misted, wrong and right Great place to be, get aways then return Always looking around Just looking for something A thousand years, we were young and naive Just looking around Bad case of something Felt good and so alive Stoked on Utopian jive Had to have that heady vibe All fine lines, gathering of tribes All fine lines, losing minds Gathering of tribes All fine lines, losing minds Fantasy of time And no one got left behind Looking for something Always looking around Bad case of something Felt good and so alive Stoked on Utopian jive Had to have that heady vibe All fine lines, gathering of tribes All fine lines, losing minds Gathering of tribes All fine lines, losing minds Fantasy of time And no one got left behind Did we believe? I don't know, I can't say We were looking around Just looking for something It was that age, a period, a certain time We were looking around Bad case of something Looking around Looking for something We were looking around Bad case of something

A Village 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Drowned, your footsteps and chatter Good mornings and asking the matter All your children's laughter A village, a watery grave Over your walls, past your defences Hedges, gates, through all your fences After all they were only pretences A village, a watery grave Milky moon Cows are late Did some damn fool Not shut the gate? At the doorstep The threshold's green Scrub all you like It won't come up clean Drowned, your church, your crosses and stones Stables, farms, gardens and homes All you left, no longer your own A village, a watery grave Milky moon Cows are late Did some damn fool Not shut the gate? At the doorstep The threshold's green Scrub all you like It won't come up clean Drowned, your footsteps and chatter Good mornings and asking the matter All your children's laughter A village, a watery grave A village, a watery grave A village, a wave, a watery grave

Boxer 04:09
lyrics

This as wild as a bronco Wild as the wind I'd try to control it But I don't know where to begin I live through sleepless nights My mind's a fevered haze I'm feeling like a boxer who's been trying To put behind him all those bitter days I'm feeling like a boxer who's been trying To put behind him all those bitter days My luck is coursing wayward My luck hurts pillar to post I'm riding a dodgy donkey Should give up the ghost Days of storms a-brewing My mind has gone to pot Wish she'd cut me a little bit more slack here Because I'm tangled up in knots Pull it loud from the crowd It's allowed to answer for its ways Roll around, sit it down Still don't sound like what I've got to say This as wild as a bronco Wild as the wind I'd try to control it But I don't know where to begin I live through sleepless nights My mind's a fevered haze I'm feeling like a boxer who's been trying To put behind him all those bitter days I'm feeling like a boxer who's been trying To put behind him all those bitter days Pull it loud from the crowd It's allowed to answer for its ways Roll around, sit it down Still don't sound like what I've got to say Pull it loud from the crowd It's allowed to answer for its ways Roll around, sit it down Still don't sound like what I've got to say

Turn Aside 03:46
lyrics

All a dance, this game of chance Putting together what I get Something to give, spirit to live Amped out the reset Really the trip, wasn't thinking that big Body and soul to convince Blasted to space in the seventies race Never really made it back since The turn aside, run against the grain Run against the grain Brings me back again The turn aside, run against the grain Run against the grain Me, back down that road again No mistake, too bad it didn't take I don't need no more regrets I'll make out fine along fine lines Got it late, did you just forget? The turn aside, run against the grain Run against the grain Brings me back again The turn aside, run against the grain Run against the grain Me, back down that road again Brings me back down that road again All a dance, this game of chance Putting together what I get Something to give, spirit to live Amped out the reset

Different Kind 04:37
lyrics

Say our ways are losing ground People move to other sounds That may be It's just a state of mind The times a different kind It's just a state of mind The times a different kind Turn it on and let it roll Blend together as one soul Find the key Those hidden songs hard to find 'Til tone and colour intertwine Still got those places Timeworn faces I can no longer name Good times I recall Forever in that frame We all take the road That unfolds To where we belong Get there in the end Like driftwood all along Those hidden songs hard to find 'Til tone and colour intertwine Say our ways have run aground In amongst the lost and found That may be It's just a state of mind The times a different kind Still got those places Timeworn faces I can no longer name Good times I recall Forever in that frame We all take the road That unfolds To where we belong Get there in the end Like driftwood all along It's just a state of mind The times a different kind It's just a state of mind The times a different kind

Saddlebags 04:48
lyrics
buy track
All that I own All I can drag Riding along with me In my saddlebags Got a Mexican blanket And an old faded photo of my wife A flask of Scottish whiskey And a Swiss army knife All that I own Down to the rag Along this lonely highway, lonely road In my saddlebags Got a bundle of money And an all-weather cape A Bluebirds cap And a roll of tape Reside in the heart These special places I'll keep returning, keep returning to Reside in the heart 'Til I'm at the end... Until I'm at the end I'll keep returning Until I'm at the end I'll keep returning to All that I own Gather and flag Riding along with me In my saddlebags Got a map of Snowdonia And a book of i-ching A wartime Zippo lighter And my old wedding ring A wartime Zippo lighter And my old wedding ring Reside in the heart These special places I'll keep returning, keep returning to Reside in the heart 'Til I'm at the end... All that I own All I can drag Riding along with me In my saddlebags Riding along with me In my saddlebags In my saddlebags
