What I’d Do For Love
Did you hear the lovers cry?
In the fields and over them.
It’s true, that’s what I’ve heard of love.
Do you see the purpose in,
80 watts no oxygen.
It’s true, but I’ve seen the love.
And what I’ve seen is nothing for what I’d do
What I’d do for love
(What I’d do for love) I hear your footsteps as you roam
(What I’d do for love) These eastern woods they are my home
(What I’d do for love) I don’t know everything you’ve heard
(What I’d do for love) I’ve got some things to tell you about birds
I need to sing…not unlike birds

Mystery
She’s sleepless, under the stars, trying to see you there
She’s hoping, answers abound, up from the cold damp ground
Then the moonlight splits the shadows on a cold September morn
Chorus
(The mystery is solved) I don’t want anyone to see me
(The mystery is solved) I don’t want anyone to know
I looked, around, shadows on the cold damp ground
The mystery is solved
She’s playing, without a tell, nobody knows her game
Foreseeing, moves in the dark, do constellations lie?
Then the moonlight splits the shadows on a cold September morn

Mercy
Polly in the ancient tower
All the world looks small to you
What do you do with that power?
And all the things you can’t undo
The fires burn, the one’s we lit
And all the life that flows from it
She starts to sing a loud and sweet refrain
Polly in the ancient tower
First to see the setting sun
How did you get to this place?
“It’s all about the rise and run,
The way the seasons all unfold
Without the touch of hands so bold
As to disregard her sad refrain
Bridge
Mercy! It’s what you do with a point of view
Mercy! Hurts like hell but it goes down well

Old Verona
Got bit by love (in old Verona)
Was feeling young (in old Verona)
I fell in love with Carmen underneath the open skies
Got pushed and shoved (in old Verona)
Did it all for love (in old Verona)
I’ll make my mark before the ending of my second half
You sang out loud (for revolution)
You were blocking roads (but it was no intrusion)
I saw the beauty in your raw conviction to the cause
You sang out loud (for love and honour)
I’ll make your proud (for love and honour)
I fell in love with you, underneath the open skies
Bridge
Oh, oh, your love it keeps me up at night
Oh, oh, our past is burning clear and bright
Oh oh…(back into riff)

Still Still
Keep it between the ditches so they say
But it’s getting harder everyday
All the places that I used to know
Have lost their familiar glow
All the extra signals I used to read
Now the colours all start to bleed
I can’t keep them separate in my mind
While the wipers are keeping time
CHORUS
Damn nights with turbulence of my own making
When all I really want is still still
Damn nights with turbulence, and who’s really taking
When all we really want is still still

Acorn
I shook the tree ‘til the acorns all fell out
I didn’t hear the bird’s call, but I heard them when they’d shout
Bless my soul, what the hell am I doing here?
Leaning on an axe, and wiping away a tear.
For I have seen the hand of god,
In the thunder and the rain
And every word you said to me
Is coming back again
Chorus
I can hear you, even though I’m all alone
What good is a calling, if you haven’t got a home?
I dropped my tools and I headed for the south
Up along the river, I was looking for the mouth
I lit a fire in the hopes that you would see
The error of my ways
In this charred apology
For I have seen the hand of god,
In the thunder and the rain
And every word you said to me
Is coming back again
Chorus
I can hear you, and it cuts me to the bone
What good is a calling, if you haven’t got a home?
