Rosslyn Road
She called me and said
I'll meet you at Molly Molone's
We walked by the river
Then over the bridge
To Rosslyn Road
With tears in her eyes
She said no one else needs to know
The look on her face was as cold as the night
On Rosslyn Road
She was so much younger then
And time was on her side
Summers never seemed to end
The sun would always shine
Now the winter's revealing everything
And there is nowhere left to hide
There's no time to pray
Just give me the money and go
I handed it to her and then she walked away
Down Rosslyn Road
Young ladies take heed
Be careful where you lay your coat
For you may lose someone you're never gonna meet
Down Rosslyn Road

Suffolk
When I saw you
Twas like I'd seen your face
Long before that day
When I saw you
Twas like a love that once lost
I'd found again
I knew my search was over
Then you were gone
And left me here
Alone in the garden
But I can see you standing there
When I saw you
When I kissed you
I felt the winter chill
Cold against your cheek
When I kissed you I felt our souls entwined
Soon to be released
And it will last forever
Though you have gone
And left me here
Alone in the garden
But I can feel you standing there
When I kissed you

Crazy Jane On God
That lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in God.
Banners choke the sky;
Men-at-arms tread;
Armoured horses neigh
Where the great battle was
In the narrow pass:
All things remain in God.
Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Uninhabited, ruinous,
Suddenly lit up
From door to top:
All things remain in God.
I had wild Jack for a lover;
Though like a road
That men pass over
My body makes no moan
But sings on:
All things remain in God
Lyrics by William Butler Yeats
Embrace The Mystery
Hear my prayer
And let it come unto thee
Lord help me to forgive
And embrace the mystery
Hear my prayer
And let it come unto thee
Lord help me to forgive
And embrace the mystery

Hope (D'chas)
Hope for Freedom
Hope for Peace
Hope it will come silently
If we're all under one banner
Then the day will surely come
And we'll find that in the end
You and I are one
We can travel to the furthest star
Fall in and out of Love
But we'll find that in the end
You and I are one

Sally In Our Alley
Of all the girls that are so smart
There 's none like pretty Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
Of all the ladies in the land
There's none so sweet as Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
Of all the days that are in the week
I dearly love but one day -
And that 's the day that comes between
A Saturday and Monday;
For then I'm dressed all in my best
To walk abroad with Sally;
She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.
Lyrics by Henry Carey (1693-1743)
Dance With Me Now
Will you come dance with me under the stars
The future's uncertain and yesterday has gone
Just like the river that flows out to the sea
I'll always find you wherever you may be
We all have that gypsy side to our soul
That wanderlust gleam in our eye
But why wait for thundery crashes or flashes of light
Dance with me now to the sound of the fiddle
Dance with me now to the flute and the drum
The pipes are calling the harp and the whistle
Will you dance with me now while the night is still young
So don't think of me one of your
Fair weather friends
I'll never leave you
I'll be there at the end
Just like the river that flows out to the sea
My love will find you wherever you may be
We all have that gypsy side to our soul
That wanderlust gleam in our eye
But why wait for thundery crashes or flashes of light
Dance with me now to the sound of the fiddle
Dance with me now to the flute and the drum
The pipes are calling the harp and the whistle
Will you dance with me now while the night is still young

There'll Be No Good Without You
Pour away the seven seas
Pack up the stars and moon
Sweep away the wood
There'll be no good without you
Answer every single prayer
Make every wish come true
Even if I could
There'll be no good without you
Once in a dream
I saw you walking down a country lane
The only music was the sound of high winds
Blowing through the trees
Then there was emptiness
I never thought that it would be like this
If I could only tell you once again
How much you meant to me
So pour away the seven seas
Pack up the stars and moon
Sweep away the wood
There'll be no good without you

Then I Saw White Horses
I've looked for a heart that has never been broken
Seen every star in the sky
Searched for the gate that has never been opened
The other man's garden was greener than mine
I've lost everything that I thought I was winning
After the fire had burned
I found in the end it was just the beginning
I had to forget everything that I'd learned
Then I saw white horses out there on the ocean
Under a dark blue sky
The waves turned to laughter
And there was the answer all the time
This love is never gonna die
There's only one heart that can never be broken
Always a star in the sky
Behind every gate there's another man's garden
And ever the story goes round and around
Cause I've seen white horses out there on the ocean
Under a dark blue sky
The waves turned to laughter
And there was the answer all the time
This love is never gonna die
