Letra
In the big house Where the sun lives With the walls so white and blue In the red soil All the green grows And the winds blow across your face They blow across your heart It's the time of the turning and there's something stirring outside It's the time of turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes All the earth breaks Like a stale bread And the seeds are folded in the soil Oh the sun pours Then the rains fall While the roots reach out right through the ground They reach out through the ground It's the time of turning and there's something stirring outside It's the time of turning and the old world's falling Nothing you can do can stop the next emerging Time of the turning and we'd better learn to say our goodbyes If we can stand up When all else falls down We'll last through the winter We'll last through the storms We'll last through the north winds That bring down the ice and snow We'll last through the long nights Till the green field's growing again Growing again - Man Who Loved The Earth / Hand That Sold Shadows
- The Time Of The Turning / The Weaver's Reel
- Father, Son4:55
Letra
Father, son Locked as one In this empty room Spine against spine Yours against mine Till the warmth comes through Remember the breakwaters down by the waves I first found my courage Knowing daddy could save I could hold back the tide With my dad by my side Dogs, plows and bows We move through each pose Struggling in our separate ways Mantras and hymns Unfolding limbs Looking for release through the pain And the yogi's eyes are open Looking up above He too is dreaming of his daddy's love With his dad by his side Got his dad by his side Can you recall How you took me to school We couldn't talk much at all It's been so many years And now these tears Guess I'm still your child Out on the moors We take a pause See how far we have come You're moving quite slow How far can we go Father and son With my dad by my side With my dad by my side Got my dad by my side With me - The Tower That Ate People4:49
Letra
There's a bump in the basement There's a knocking on the wall In the pumping of the pistons I swear I heard your call There's a bump in the basement There's a hole in the floor There's a guard in the garden Locking up the door There's a rumble in the floorboards No shutting out the sound And the workers are below me digging underground Feel the building all around me Like a wrap of armored skin But the more we are protected The more we're trapped within We're building up and up We're building up and up We're building up and up We're building up and up Till we can touch the sky Tell it like it is Till there's no misunderstanding When you strip it right back Man feed machine Machine feed man Tell it like it is Till there's no misunderstanding Make up what you like Man fed machine Machine feed man - Revenge1:31
- White Ashes2:34
Letra
Mamma's little boy has fallen down, Mamma's little boy has hit the ground. Now he's gone, Ian is gone, his time is done. The weight of a dream can take you down. White, white ashes, building crashes down. So well, pretend it's all well conceived, Build solid as steel, stuff we believe. Now he's gone. Ian is gone, his time is done. The weight of a dream can bring you down. The weight of a dream can bring you down. White, white ashes, building crashes down. White, white ashes, building crashes down. Mamma's little boy, doing good. Mamma's little boy did all he could. Now he's gone, Ian is gone, time is done. The weight of a dream can bring you down. The weight of a dream can bring you down. White, white ashes, building crashes down White, - Downside-Up6:04
Letra
I looked up at the tallest building Felt it falling down I could feel my balance shifting Everything was moving around These streets so fixed and solid Ah shimmering haze And everything that I relied on disappeared Downside up, upside down Take my weight from the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown All the strangers look like family All the family looks so strange The only constant I am sure of Is this accelerating rate of change Downside up, upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown I stand here Watch you spinning Until I am drawn in A centripetal force You pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo Downside up Upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping into the unknown - The Nest That Sailed The Sky5:05
- Make Tomorrow10:01
Letra
Put on the dress in which you were married Pull down the veil til your eyes are hid Can you remember where we both came from Let us do as we did Look at tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Put back the photo under your window Put down the phone that you hold in your hand Put away these things that stand in between us Let us be what we can When it seems Hopeless When it seems Hopeless Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Make tomorrow today What better measure of what you were doing here Then what you can leave behind All the children of your children's children Do you ever think what they're going to find Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Where the sacred meet the scared Make tomorrow Make tomorrow Where the dreamer's dream is dared In each of us A dream can burn like the sun Let's try it all one more time To get this lesson learned Sitting up in a spaceship Looking down at the earth You wonder what they all struggling for What's it all really worth Making tomorrow today Making tomorrow today Make tomorrow Make tomorrow
