I touched his hand
It burned like coal
I put paid to the devil
And I saw the mountain fall
Fall on
Feel like crying
The joke's gone too far
You can be anything you want
Every colour you are
A family man
His patience tried
Put a torch to his home
and warmed his hands by the fire
No greed, no desire
My road's uncrossed
White lined and tarred
By believing in you
Every colour you are

I see the world with a heart that knows
In shadow play
Rain
Tree
Crow
I put no trust in milestones
Disparate hopes
Halfway homes
I share the world with one who knows
The light still shines in shadow play
Rain
Tree
Crow

She brings me water
"Sweeter than wine"
Lost in a moment
Summertime
Counting the hours
Beating out time
Shallow as any heart I could hope to find
Move with the water
Drift with the tide
With no regrets to keep the ghosts alive
But when she smiles
She smiles for me
She smiles for me
Life runs out like a pocket full of change
Time runs out like a pocket full of change
Here comes the morning
Blind and tired
Pulled by the undertow
This world of mine
This world of mine
But when she cries
She cries for me
She cries for me
Life runs out like a pocket full of change
Time runs out like a pocket full of change

In our heart of hearts we were wrong
There's no love, all sense has gone
Strike the match
Stand well back
This boat's for burning

I haul you in a sea of silence
On the borderline of truth
Hope and violence
I see no sun
I see no place I've loved
Depending on the signs to find the road
Blackwater
Take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come and lead me
Through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again
I walk with you
But sleep beside her
If summer came and went
It passed us over
I see her cry
I see the face I 've loved
Depending on the blind to find the road
Blackwater
Take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come and lead me
Through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again
Blackwater
Take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come and lead me
In the morning
To the land that I long to see again

A shattered dream on a bed of lies
Now my heart dies in cries
Cries and whispers
My heart grew wings under desert skies
Now my love dies in cries
Cries and whispers
Cries and whispers
And my heart sings of many things
In cries and whispers
. . .
