Die & Carry On

where do we go when we say our goodbye?/
known so many people and known we all die/
in the ground restless our souls come alive/
known so many people and known we all die/
we all die and carry on
i had a friend had fear in his eye/
known so many people and known we all die/
wouldn't look right at me wouldn't tell me why/
known so many people and known we all die/
we all die and carry on
i've been well off and i've touched the sky/
known so many people and known we all die
i've dug a grave or two once in my time/
known so many people and known we all die/
we all die and carry on
so carry on when my heart says goodbye/
known so many people and known we all die/
and play all my songs in a field open wide/
known so many people and known we all die/
we all die and carry on

Grains Of Sand

if theres a place you'd like to be/
you shouldn't wait, you shouldn't wait/
if theres a dream you'd like to live/
you shouldn't wait, you shouldn't wait/
because time like grains of sand/
you cannot hold it in your hand
if there are words you wish to say/
you shouldn't wait, you shouldn't wait/
if there are sights for eyes to see/
you shouldn't wait, you shouldn't wait/
because time like grains of sand/
you cannot hold it in your hand
make the most of each moment while you can/
open up your heart and your mind/
don't be so blind/
i've got love its meant for you/
i shouldn't wait, i shouldn't wait/
because time like grains of sand/
i cannot hold it in my hand/
no because time like grains of sand/
i cannot hold it in my hand

Shovel
05:49
|
|||
|
i took to the road/
i made it my best friend/
i said goodbye to folks/
i might never see again/
it was somewhere in ontario/
in a town of just five grand/
i learned that living in just dying/
with a shovel in my hand
with a shovel in my hand
i know she's still here with me/
even though i crossed the line/
if any promises were broken/
every one of them was mine/
i can see her long hair blowing/
i can hear the marching band/
i can feel my muscles burning/
with a shovel in my hand
with a shovel in my hand
now we aren't as broken/
as we once thought we would be/
there are wild flowers growing/
cars are passing in the street/
once i've been forgotten/
once she takes her stand/
i'll be right back at the bottom/
with a shovel in my hand
with a shovel in my hand

Stubborn Horses
04:17
|
|||
|
even the most stubborn horses break/
you said those words as i drifted off to sleep/
laying in the beds that others make/
it must be hard to hold the hope you keep
i get wounded from time to time/
time has never been a friend of mine/
when i'm sitting high i'm feeling fine/
i get wounded from time to time
canter to the field to count the stars/
like counting empty bottles on a shelf/
thinking who i am ain't who we are/
as i smoke a cigarette i rolled myself
i get wounded from time to time/
time has never been a friend of mine/
when i'm sitting high i'm feeling fine/
i get wounded from time to time
so bury me along the alder grove/
lay me down among the ones i know/
throw all my old notebooks in the stove/
no ones gonna read those words no more
i get wounded from time to time/
time has never been a friend of mine/
when i'm sitting high i'm feeling fine/
i get wounded from time to time

Big City Moon
03:57
|
|||
|
i should have run/
when i had the chance/
the things that were done/
were never in my hands/
i should have known/
the bridge out of town/
from where i had grown/
they burned it down/
its a big city moon
you can hear/
their engines at night/
you can smell/
the diesel fire/
where do they go/
the edge of the storm/
how do they know/
the air is so warm/
its a big city moon

Things To Say
06:59
|
|||
|
seed falls from a tree/
tree grows from the ground/
we grow older every day/
life keeps circling round/
we all want things to say/
we don't listen anyway/
and the earth shakes buildings fall down
finding light in the dark/
sparrows nest in that tree/
forest fire from a spark/
all is lost so suddenly/
we all want things to say/
we don't listen anyway/
and the earth shakes buildings fall down
one day you will not be here/
some way you must be kind/
some say it is so clear/
leave none of yourself behind/
we all want things to say/
we don't listen anyway/
and the earth shakes buildings fall down

Last Words
05:03
|
|||
|
i once drove a thousand miles/
i once rowed a splintered oar/
i once dug the deepest depths/
to find what i longed for
never waver in my task/
never held a thought unsure/
never pain in mind or back/
but never anymore
when i'm carried to earth below/
when i'm carried on mountains high/
when i'm carried on the wind/
won't you carry on when i die
