Somewhere Round The Bend
I'm going round in circles
In and out of love
Each time I come back around
I see my old self from above
I'm just climbing up a screw thread
Never coming to an end
So I know I'll see you again
Somewhere round the bend
I met the love of my life
But we were far too young
We said we'd meet ten years later
But she never rung
Then I got an invite to her wedding
But I could not attend
Maybe give it ten more years
Somewhere round the bend
Well I said I didn't love you
But that just wasn't right
Or just as true as to say
That I loved you at first sight
But I had to tell you this
And I told you as a friend
So you'd go your own way and
I knew someday I'd see you
Somewhere round the bend
We said we'd never be together
And we'd never be apart
We'd just take our own paths
Right from the start
But now our story's being written on
same page but by a different pen
I know that the lines will cross
Somewhere round the bend

A Thousand Roads

No matter how sweet
The love that flows
Nature hangs her head
Because she knows
Even the gentlest breeze
With time corrodes
This love’s gone down
A thousand roads
Alone we both
Thought we could stay
'Til love knocked on
Our door one day
Held out her hand
And we both followed
This love's gone down
A thousand roads
We hopped on board
And she led us blind
All our past lovers
Swung on behind
When would we buckle
Under the load?
This love's gone down
A thousand roads
No matter how sweet
The love that flows
Nature hangs her head
Because she knows
Even the gentlest breeze
With time corrodes
This love’s gone down
A thousand roads
We could fill a train
With all our dreams
But these old wheels
Are out of steam
Up until now
They have never slowed
This love's gone down
A thousand roads
In a far off mirror
At the end of the trail
Two dreamless beggars
Growing frail
We both returned
The hearts we had borrowed
This love's gone down
A thousand roads
No matter how sweet
The love that flows
Nature hangs her head
Because she knows
Even the gentlest breeze
With time corrodes
This love’s gone down
A thousand roads

The tap left on and overflowing
They knocked on the door
but we kept going
You asked me for the here and now
I recited wedding vows
You disappeared with another
Just your dealer, not your lover
Time the healer brought you round
In my arms safe and sound
Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
They all knew the ship would sink
But no one likes to think about it
I danced with a stranger
Across the very same spot
on the floor
Where we'd had our first kiss
all those years before
You sang “I’ll be seeing you,
In all the old familiar places”
The walls and the floor unchanged
Around all these brand new faces
Lovers old and lovers new...
But now the walls are painted white
Not a whisky stain in sight
And like all lost places in this town
Nobody cares what once went down there
And if life is just a book we write
Just a story we’d like to be in
You can paint the walls
and the ceilings
We’ll keep the memories
and the feelings
Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
They all knew the ship would sink
But no one likes to think about it
Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
They all knew the ship would sink
But no one likes to think about it
Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
We all knew the ship would sink
But we can always think about it
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
