Song Of Farewell
When you go down to the ocean,
Take some time to say goodbye
It’s a long way to California,
And the moon is rising high
It’s time to leave the Marble City,
Time to leave the ones you love
May the angels all surround you
May they guide you from above
You’re stepping out from under a spell
I’m wishing you well
You’re stepping out from under a spell
This is your song of farewell
It’s a long and lonely journey
From the hills down to the sea
When you leave your home and loved ones,
I hope you still remember me
In the sunrise and the morning,
When the birds are on the wing
All the colours and the blue skies
Hold the promise of the spring
You’re stepping out from under a spell
I’m wishing you well
You’re stepping out from under a spell
This is your song of farewell
Every night we pray
You’ll be home again
Home again someday

Days Of Summer Sun (Grace)
Days of summer sun are here again
Warm and welcoming, a long lost friend
Flowers are dancing with the leaves on the trees
Down by the river in the evening breeze
Morning music rolls the clouds away
Grace is coming home she’s here to stay
Don’t know why I never heard her before
Waiting so patiently outside my door
All she wanted is all I needed, I needed
All she promised is true
Now there’s nothing I can say or do
Perfect love almost too good to be true
Time and time again I misunderstood
Lost along the way within the wild wood
All she wanted is all I needed, I needed
All she promised is true
Overnight to my surprise,
Underneath the starry skies
Everything begins to change,
Nothing here will stay the same
It’s a mystery I confess
Bringing peace to restlessness
The one thing I will always do
Is welcome you
All she wanted is all I needed, I needed
All she promised is true
How I love You

Some Things Are Never As Perfect As You Want Them To Be
There’s a star in the sky shining way overhead,
I’m hoping
This sweet love that we share will be always declared
Unbroken
Words we’ve spoken, and hearts that will always be true,
So true
There’s a fire in my heart, and it’s burning for you
It’s the dream of a dreamer, she said
Happy endings will some day be sad
Then she says, as she tries to console me, she told me
Some things are never as perfect as you want them to be
You take your coat and your hat, and you walk down the hall,
You’re leaving
Every promise we made now so sadly betrayed,
I’m grieving
For what’s broken, and all that we cannot undo,
It’s true,
I can say it again, I’m lost without you
They’re the words of a dreamer, she said
Happy endings will some day be sad
Then she says, as she tries to console me, she told me
Some things are never as perfect as you want them to be
But I know that there’s a better way,
The sun is going to rise upon a brand new day
Take a look around at everything you have
When it’s gone nothing’s going to bring it back
Yes my words are for dreamers I’m sure
But happy endings are worth fighting for
I can tell you the truth if you’ll hear me, believe me
Some things will be just as perfect as you want them to be
Some things could one day be perfect
For you and for me

Long Shadows
Am I old, am I wise
Am I blind to these lies
How can a heart that’s made in heaven
Ever turn so cold, ever turn so cold?
There were long shadows hanging over me
Over where I go, over where I’ve been
Until the hand of mercy set me free
There were long shadows hanging over me
Something old, nothing new,
You twisted life, you twisted truth
That’s how a heart that’s made in heaven
Can somehow turn so cold,
Can somehow turn so cold
There were long shadows hanging over me
Over where I go, over where I’ve been
Until the hand of mercy set me free
There were long shadows hanging over me
Oh hand of mercy, cover me,
Oh hand of mercy, cover me
There were long shadows hanging over me
Over where I go, over where I’ve been
Until the hand of mercy set me free
There were long shadows hanging over me

Old Sea Road
Saturday girls are always dancing,
Saturday boys come rolling home
The sound of the chapel bells are ringing,
Calling the lost and faithful ones
Was it a dream I sailed this ocean,
Was it a dream that I’ve been called
Back to Your loving arms of refuge
Back to the Old Sea Road?
Down where the harbour meets the sunset,
Down where the piper plays his tune,
They’re lighting a fire at Jacob’s boatyard,
All of the ships are sailing soon
Under the waking constellations,
Under the guiding star of old,
We will be back before the winter,
Back to the Old Sea Road

Grand Central Station New York
Grand Central Station New York,
Train at the end of the line
Waits for a signal to leave for the west coast
The Star of The North will be leaving on time
From the Grand Central Station New York
Grand Central Station New York,
Girl with the tears in her eyes
Waits for her lover who sent her a letter
Promised a wedding but never came back
To the Grand Central Station New York
Grand Central Station New York,
Soldier came home from the war
Nobody met him or called him a hero
Now clutching a bottle he sleeps on the floor
Of the Grand Central Station New York
Does anybody ever want to know
About the stories and the places
Where all the lonely people go?
Grand Central Station New York,
Millions of people pass by
Hurrying home for the first day of Christmas
They walk past the girl who still waits for her lover
Straight past the soldier still clutching his bottle
And all of the stories that nobody knows
Of the Grand Central Station New York
Grand Central Station, New York

Everything Will Be Alright
Peace to fill your heart
And calm your worried mind
Strength to face each waking hour
Rest at evening time
Love will find a way
To lend a helping hand
Love will bless your weary soul
And will not fail a friend
Something lost yet something found
In ways that I don’t understand
In this dark I see a light
Everything will be alright
Through these troubled days
We trust, we win, we lose
But giving up and giving in
Is not the path we choose
Love will keep you safe
Until your journeys end
Precious is the mystery
Of travelling with a friend
Something lost and something found
In ways that I don’t understand
In this dark I see a light
Everything will be alright
You’ll be alright
Oh, trust The Light

The Best Is Still To Come
I’ve got a way with words to make the best of everything,
I count myself a lucky man, when I think what might have been
And I know the best is still to come,
Yes I know the best is still to come, still to come.
Come rain or shine, I’ll be grateful
Come joy or sorrow, I’ll still be thankful
So when you’re feeling low, and it seems that life’s not good anymore
Just take a second look, and count your blessings like you should
Like I know I should
And I’ll remember, the best is still to come
Yes, I’ll remember, the best is still to come, still to come
Come rain or shine, I’ll be grateful
Come joy or sorrow, I’ll still be thankful

Way On Home
In the shadow of the evening fire,
At the closing of the day,
Many tales are told from the travelling road,
Of a world so far away
Of a land beyond these Smoky Hills,
Way across the fields of green
There’s a shelter from the fire and rain
And a place I long to be
Way on home is where I’m bound,
So let your love shine round
Lead the way to higher ground,
Let your love shine round
Like a day before the darkest night,
While my guiding star still shines
I will lay my weary soul to rest,
Long before the end of time
And I know we’ll make the journey there,
And I know just what we’ll find
In the land where peaceful water flows
I will ease my troubled mind
Way on home is where I’m bound
So let your love shine round
Lead the way to higher ground
Let your love shine round

When Love Is Lord Of All

When Love Is Lord Of All
The shadows fall across the earth
And cloak the world with war
The darkening clouds hang overhead
As metal raindrops fall
When every nation turns away
From peaceful words of reason
The gates of Eden close in shame
‘til Love is Lord of all
Two worlds collide in fire and pain
And run before the storm
We trade our children’s precious lives
To heed the siren call
The bitter lies, and broken truths
Still feed the flames of anger
The fields will flower red with blood
‘til Love is Lord of all
A change of heart, a change of mind
Will bring a brighter dawn
The olive branch and Light of Love
Will earth and heaven restore
The arms of Peace are open wide
A gentle voice is calling
I hear the whisper on the wind
‘Let Love be Lord of all’
