Morning Song
03:34

The morning creeps across the window as I sleep
And begrudgingly I open up my eyes
To the beauty outside
To the beauty outside
It always takes a little time to face the day
But the sun assures me things will be ok
Everything will be ok
Everything will be ok
Everything will be ok
I love the Autumn leaves; I like my coffee strong
The kettle whistles as I play my morning song
And when I wake I see the places that I know
And it seems there's not much further to go
Much further to go
Not much further to go
Much further to go
For I have travelled for three hundred river miles
Through the meadows and the valleys I have roamed
But it feels like coming home
It feels like coming home
It feels like coming home
The leaves are falling down all brown and gold and red
The river holds me as I put myself to bed
La, la la la, la la la, la la la

Spring Song

Put another log upon the fire
While outside the trees are towering high
Trees and banks are green outside my window
Just sitting, gazing
I can watch the grass grow
In a quiet space
Merging into green
Home is in this place
Cradled by the trees
Nestled here below
On the water, slow
Friends are passing by
Laughing as they fly
So put another log upon the fire
While outside the trees are towering high
Trees and banks are green outside my window
Just sitting, gazing
I can watch the grass grow

The May
03:11
|
|||
|
The light in the morning spreads over the fields
And over the locks with their lambs so new
The Sun, it is lifting the dew from the meadows
Adorning the flowers with precious jewels
So sing for the sunrise, and sing for the morning
And sing like a lark in the sky so blue
The May is blooming, a new day is dawning
A day in the Springtime of life anew
An echo is sounding deep down in the forest
The season is turning beneath the trees
The Earth, she is stirring - awaking from slumber
Her mantle becoming a cloak of green
So sing for the sunrise, and sing for the morning
And sing like a lark in the sky so blue
The May is blooming, a new day is dawning
A day in the Springtime of life anew
The music is playing, the pipers are piping
The children are dancing around the tree
Our voices are joining the birds in the chorus
Along with the ribbons, all flying free
So sing for the sunrise, and sing for the morning
And sing like a lark in the sky so blue
The May is blooming, a new day is dawning
A day in the Springtime of life anew

Contented I Would Be
03:53
|

As I walked out one morning
In the Springtime of the year
The birds about me singing
And the sky was blue and clear
The world, it seemed a wondrous place
For people living free
If I could only find a way
To bring my love to me
Contented I would be
Oh love, how much I miss you
And you must feel the same
How hard it is to find love
Then be alone again
If I had a swallow's wings
I'd fly right to your side
And if I had a boat I'd sail
To you across the tide
I'd brave the flowing tide
I wish I was in Whitehaven
And walking by the Strand
And my dear lass so close that I
Could reach and touch her hand
But I am still so far away
Across the Irish sea
If Fortune's fair I'll meet her there
I know she'll wait for me
As I walked out one morning
In the Springtime of the year
The birds about me singing
And the sky was blue and clear
The world, it seemed a wondrous place
For people living free
If I could only find a way
To bring my love to me
Contented I would be

Shadows
03:55
|

|
Evening shadows reach out to meet
Me and my shadow
We're safe and warm here, watching them creep
Me and my shadow
I wouldn't want to be anywhere, oh anywhere but here
Wouldn't want to be with anyone but you
Wouldn't want to be anywhere, oh anywhere but here
With anyone, anyone but you
