Lyrics

Wildflowers

Chorus:

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

Sail away, kill off the hours

You belong somewhere you feel free

Verse 1:

Sail away, go find a lover

Go away, somewhere all bright and new

I see no other

that compares with you.

Chorus:

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong in a boat out at sea

You belong with your love on your arm

You belong somewhere you feel free

Verse 2:

Run away, go find a lover

Run away, let your heart be your guide

You deserve the deepest of cover

You belong in that home by and by.

Chorus:

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worry

You belong somewhere you feel free (repeat)

You belong somewhere you feel free

(Ruth Dillon: vocals and guitar, Yvonne Tiernan: vocals, Juliana Erkkonen: strings and vocals

Shadowdance

The hooded crow is calling, telling me that you were on your way back home.

Maybe I’ll go walking to get more time here on my own.

I don’t know who’s going to meet me, I don’t know who’s coming through the door.

If history’s taught me something, it’s gonna be just like it was before.

Do I dance around your shadow before you even get here?

Step outside the rhythm and draw you in near

I don’t know who’s going to meet me, I don’t know who’s coming through the door.

If history’s taught me something, it gonna leave me wanting more.

Chorus:

Shadowdancing ‘round and ‘round our love

Shadowdancin, will it be enough?

Shadowdancing Shadowdancing Shadowdancing Shadowdance.

Silence makes me listen to the moments that have kept me here.

I want to keep on walking, and disappear.

I don’t know who’s going to meet me, I don’t know who’s coming through the door.

Take my hand in your hand, we’ll forget what’s gone before.

Chorus:

Shadowdancing ‘round and ‘round our love

Shadowdancin, will it be enough?

Shadowdancing Shadowdancing Shadowdancing Shadowdance.

Flower on your sill

Grow me a flower on your sill,

And wait for me until, I pick the flower from your sill.

Bring me water from your well,

To my lips like the sweetest pill, bring me water from your well.

Build your cottage stone by stone,

And you’ll never be alone, in your cottage made of stone.

Vines to the sky, twisting forever.

Then comes the night,

Stay ‘til I reach you, my shelter.

Bathe your body in the sea,

And wait down there for me, we’ll bathe our bodies in the sea.

Pretty babies, one, two, three,

Two boys for you and a girl for me

Pretty babies one two three

Grow me a flower on your sill,

And wait for me until, I pick the flower from your sill.

From your sill, from your sill, from your sill.

Lost on you

When you get older, plainer, saner,

Will you remember all the danger we came from?

Burning like embers, falling, tender

Longing for the days of no surrender

Years ago, and you will know.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em ‘cause it’s going down,

All I ever wanted was you.

I’ll never get to heave ‘cause I don’t know how.

Let’s raise a glass or two,

To all the things I’ve lost on you oh-oh

Tell me are they lost on you oh-oh

Just that you would cut me loose oh-oh

After everything I’ve lost on you, is that lost on you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, is that lost on you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, is that lost on you, is that lost on you?

Wish that I could see the machinations,

Understand the toil of expectations in your mind.

Hold me like you never lost your patience,

Tell me that you love me more than hate me all the time.

And you’re still mine.

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em ‘cause it’s going down,

All I ever wanted was you.

Let’s take a drink of heaven, this could turn around.

Let’s raise a glass or two,

To all the things I’ve lost on you oh-oh

Tell me are they lost on you oh-oh

Just that you would cut me loose oh-oh

After everything I’ve lost on you, is that lost on you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, is that lost on you?

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Let’s raise a glass or two

To all the things I’ve lost on you oh-oh

Tell me are they lost on you oh-oh

Just that you would cut me loose oh-oh

After everything I’ve lost on you, is it lost on you?

Is it lost on you? Is it lost on you?

Oooooooo

Blanket Woven

Chorus:

Just like a blanket woven,

The blue and green of the ocean,

Will wrap you up in its gentle waves,

And whisper words from its ancient caves.

Come lay your bare feet on the sand,

Where so many fishermen have left this land,

While mothers wept on this very shore

For sons and daughters, they’d see no more.

Chorus:

So many fishermen could not hide,

From the crash of an angry tide.

Now lay forever on an ocean bed

No words, no gravestone above their head.

Chorus:

I can see white horses dance,

Take my shoes off and walk the land.

Wild and free as I’ll ever be,

As your waves wash over me.

Chorus:

When Creation was Young

When creation was young, before rivers learned to run,

Before hell caught fire and God made the sun

When creation was young.

Before Adam fell for Eve, before bird found melody

Before the apple hit the ground not far from the tree

Before Adam fell for Eve.

Chorus: I was loving you. I was loving you. I was loving you, loving you.

Before gold found the hills, before field felt a blade of a till,

Before the sky was black as coal and the earth stood still,

Before gold found the hills.

Chorus: I was loving you. I was loving you. I was loving you, loving you.

Before you took a breath, before sin ever confessed,

Before hate was a word and life found death

Before you took a breath.

Chorus: I was loving you. I was loving you. I was loving you, loving you.

When creation was young, before rivers learned to run,

Before hell caught fire and God made the sun

When creation was young.

Love is sublime, ‘til it draws out its gun

It’s kind of complicated, it starts and ends with you,

And I knew, oh I knew,

But simple’s over-rated and tears came right on cue,

Because we knew, we both knew.

We fell into a feeling like nothing in this world,

But it’s gone, now it’s gone.

We walked into the fire while wheels around us turned,

Hot like sun. our ashes spun.

Chorus:

So how do we climb to the dawn?

Love is sublime ‘til it draws out its gun.

Bang! Bang!

And every time we talk like old forgotten friends,

When it ends, a lonely sound.

And as we go our own way, we’ll nod our heads and bow,

To what we’ve lost and what we’ve found.

Chorus:

So how do we climb to the dawn?

Love is sublime ‘til it draws out its gun.

Bang! Bang!

Leaves Shake

Leaves shake, boughs bend,

Carry on ‘til the very end.

Lean heavy on the branches ‘til they break and they fall.

These hands hold so much,

This mind, everyone’s crutch.

But when I need a shoulder, no-one hears me call.

Chorus:

Standing on the edge like I’m carrying the world.

It’s a long way down, it’s a long way down.

Stronger with the wind,

Can you hear it in the voice that I’ve found?

Roots down, deep in the earth,

Sunflowers grow through the stones and the dirt.

I’ll hold my head higher to the heat of the sun.

Sleep won’t sing me a lullaby,

Thoughts, not dreams, as the hours crawl by,

I used to move slower, now I’m learning to run.

Chorus:

Standing on the edge like I’m carrying the world.

It’s a long way down, it’s a long way down.

Stronger with the wind,

Can you hear it in the voice that I’ve found?

Hanging from a star

You gotta think fast to keep up with the scholar,

You gotta think slow if you want to be cool,

You gotta think money to keep up with the neighbours,

You gotta think fast if you want to be no-one’s fool.

You gotta run if you want to be first,

You gotta walk so you don’t run out of steam,

And you gotta fly high to reach their expectations,

And you gotta sleep so later you can dream.

Chorus:

The easier you are, the easier it’s going to be,

When you’re hanging from a star, there’s so much more to see,

Feels good when you hang next to me.

You gotta know the times to just say nothing,

You gotta shout sometimes if you want to be heard.

You gotta see past the fool who makes the most noise,

And you got look hard when your vision has been blurred.

Chorus

Another Lover

Moments in the day,

Making love, hang out the clothes, got bills to pay.

Kisses. lots to steal,

Were the smiles in photographs fake or real?

Words washed over me,

Close my eyes and only heard all that I need.

Chorus:

Should have seen it in his shadow,

Would his words give him away.

Should have seen the embers dying,

When the fire burned away,

It’s a long way home,

Ooooo and there’s a mist in front of me.

Winters come and go,

Life moves on, do we ignore what we should know?

Secrets, we had none,

Stories told, but really was I the only one?

Birds of reverie (Ruth Dillon)

Do, do, do, do, do..

By chance we meet over rocky seas,

Is that the stuff that carries us?

Ancient stone or our love alone,

Is that enough to carry us?

Chorus:

Rising up like birds of reverie,

Soaring through the brilliant blue,

High enough so anyone could see,

That we are rising, that we are rising.

Do, do, do, do, do..

Arms that hold (It’s all that I need),

Like hugs of gold (makes me wonder)

Is that the love that carries us?

At times no word (there’s no need to say), I just know you heard (in the silence we

just show up),

When we just show up, it carries us.

Chorus:

Rising up like birds of reverie,

Soaring through the brilliant blue,

High enough so anyone could see,

That we are rising, that we are rising. Do, do, do, do……

Bare feet on grass

This too will pass, bare feet on grass,

Will walk further, to your mother.

These four walls have saved our souls,

Drew us closer, under cover.

Chorus:

Sitting on the back porch,

Rolling with the punches that the day will bring.

See your only daughter as she listens to her music in the garden swing.

She sways.

It won’t be long ‘til the blackbird song will start fading,

While we awaken.

What’s this all for if we can’t love more?

Grab a feeling, while the earth is feeling.

Chorus

When this is gone, can we just move on?

Grieving losses, heavy crosses.

If we just lie low, see it come and go,

Sons like fireflies, light in their eyes.
