Grandpa's Lament

Chorus
I will come back to you my brothers
I'll be coming round that same old way
I'm coming home my sisters
I'll be there to guide you through your day
V1
When you see a flower grow or hear a whistle on the wind
Or feel the rain upon your skin...that's me
I'll carry you off to sleep, I'll rock you in chair
Just keep filling up that brandy glass
Chorus
V2
I hear the curtain call, I hear those trumpets sound
Beckoning me to my final bow
So remember when your heartbeat slows like mine, you're not alone
My love is not a love you can outgrow.
Final Chorus
For I will return to the valley of my family
Where I'll be taking off my shoes
And I will wait in the calm of my fathers arms for you.

Ship Song
02:21

We lost our souls on Sunday
We lost them to the sea
The wind it wailed & overboard we sailed
Into the unknown clutches of the deep
We drifted down in silence
Oh noble men were we
The whales & fish
All bowed & hats were tipped
As fathom after fathom we did slip
Our ship set sail on the Monday
Its glory shone all week
But Sunday he woke up & this mighty world he shook
To prove some point or other he mistook
He offered us forgiveness
Audacious claims of peace
But all I've learned from that wrathful hand he turned
Is I've got no love to give while I'm asleep

Clandestine Heart
03:53

Say it ain't so my love
Say you won't go my love
I know it ain't easy but please babe appease me
And say you won't leave me my love
I know when I'm right but I's wrong
To sing you my old lovers song
The one that I wrote about letters & rope
Cos it's you that I've loved all along
Time without you is wasted
And god knows how much I hate waiting
Remember those words for better or worse
Forgive me & come home again
I know you might not understand
The clandestine heart of a man
Who gives nothing away
Not pleasure nor pain
But he laughs & he cries all the same
And now that I've said what I've said
I've made & I'll lie in this bed
I hope you can find the peace in your mind
To take & not leave me for dead
They're cold as ice
The weather & that look in your eyes
Don't throw away the vows that we made
And darling lay your bones by mine

I Know You
02:55

We all got home that need feeding
Weaker men weeping
Grow no corn
So grab your pick
Garb your shovel
On the double
The crack of dawn
This old house ain't heaven sent
Praying never paid nobody's rent
Went down to the store
Ran into an old friend at the door...we got to talking
Said 'Oh my days - where do they go?'
While sycamores & hollyoaks grow
This guitar don't play itself
The world don't turn upon a shelf
Don't expect that doing what you want will provide everything you need
I know you
You know me
We know him
He knows them
If we all work together
Life would be so much better
