Blown Away 03:28
The rain was cold My shoes were wet My sorrows drowned But I could not forget I’d come so far My hopes were high I knocked on the door of warm and dry A face appeared A friendly voice You’re welcome here, you know you have no choice Come in sit down Here, by the fire I sipped from the cup, he said Walk all the roads you can And pray to become a man The answer, you know my friend Has blown away on the wind The light was dim My head was sore I found I simply didn’t care no more The disco ball of days gone by Had rolled itself back to Hell So walk all the roads you can And pray to become a man The answer, you know my friend Has blown away on the wind One by one I count the days Or do the days count me? Snake by snake, we fill the ark To eat when lost at sea Another knock, a different door These clouds are new, they’ve never rained before But I have cried so many tears The sun marks another year So walk all the roads you can And pray to become a man The answer, you know my friend Has blown away on the wind

The Needle 04:02
The story goes but the vision remains Beneath reproach and unstained And by the light of the moon beaming down The bags are packed on solid ground The goodbye kiss then it’s anchors aweigh No longer men of good cheer We make our way, wave by wave, drop by drop Our destination calls, unclear Round the world we go In a boat on borrowed time Fading as we sail Fish in silver schools begin to shine Round the world we go On a sea of broken rime Counting on the needle Oh compass, keep us right in line To think such things of my dear family The endless storm, endless day Yet I survive like the seagull I see Horizon waiting patiently Round the world we go In a boat on borrowed time Fading as we sail Fish in silver schools begin to shine Round the world we go On a sea of broken rhyme Counting on the needle Oh compass, keep us right in line Round the world the story goes The vision fading as we sail Round the dial of the compass Fading as the fish in clouds swim Round
