One Of These Days
One
of these days
I'm
going to cut you into little pieces
A Pillow Of Winds
The
cloud of eiderdown draws around me
Softening
the sound
Sleepy
time when I lie with my love by my side
And
she's breathing low, and the candle dies
When
night comes down you lock the door
The
book falls to the floor
As
darkness falls and waves roll by
The
seasons changed the wind is warm
Now
wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan
Behold
the dream, the dream is gone
Green
fields, a cold rain
Is
falling in a golden dawn
And
deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds
And
I go down
Sleepy
time when I lie with my love by my side
And
she's breathing low
And
I rise like a bird
In
the haze when the first rays touch the sky
And
the night winds die
Fearless
You
say the hill's to steep to climb, climbing
You
say you'd like to see me try, climbing
You
pick the place and I'll choose the time
And
I'll climb the hill in my own way
Just
wait a while for the right day
And
as I rise above the tree line and the clouds
I look
down hearing the sounds of the things you've said today
Fearlessly
the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless
the magistrate turns round, frowning
And
who's the fool who wears the crown
No
doubt in your own way
And
every day is the right day
And
as you rise above the fear lines in his brow
You
look down hear the sound of the faces in the crowd

San Tropez
As I
reach for a peach
Slide
a ride down behind a sofa in San Tropez
Breaking
a stick with a brick on the sand
Riding
a wave in the wake of an old sedan
Sleeping
alone in the drone of the darkness
Scratched
by the sand that fell from my love
Deep
in my dreams and I still hear her calling
If
you're alone, I'll come home
Backward
and homebound, the pigeon, the dove
Gone
with the wind the rain on a airplane
Born
a home with no silver spoon
I'm
drinking champagne like a good tycoon
Sooner
than wait for a break in the weather
I'll
gather my far flung thoughts together
Speeding
away on the wind to a new day
If
you're alone, I'll come home
And
I'll pause for a while by a country style
And
listen to the things they say
Digging
for gold in a hole in my hand
Open
the book, take a look at the way things stand
And
you're leading me down to a place by the sea
I hear
your soft voice calling to me
Making
a date for later by phone
And
if you're alone, I'll come home
Seamus
I was
in the kitchen
Seamus,
that's the dog, was outside
Well
I was in the kitchen
Seamus,
my own hound, was outside
Well
you know the sun was sinking slowly
And
my own hound dog sat right down and cried
Echoes
Overhead
the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And
deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The
echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand
And
everything is green and submarine
And
no one showed us to the land
And
no one knows the where or whys
But
something stirs and something tries
And
starts to climb towards the light
Strangers
passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet
And
I am you and what I see is me
And
do I take you by the hand and lead you trough the land
And
help me understand the best I can
And
no one calls us to move on
And
no one forces down our eyes
And
no one speaks and no one tries
And
no one flies around the sun
Cloudless
everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting
and inciting me to rise
And
through the window in the wall
Come
streaming in on sunlight wings
A million
bright ambassadors of morning
And
no one sings me lullabies
And
no one makes me close my eyes
And
so I throw the windows wide
And
call to you across the sky
