Blown Away

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

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
