Earth Born
(Lyrics: Wishart)
Don't stop carry on,
we haven't lost we haven't won
Hold on wait and see,
it might be what it’s meant to be...
Earth, trees, sand, sky
Room to breathe and room to die
Earth, trees, sand and sky
Room to breathe and room to die
Pale light morning star,
feels right where we are
In the circle made of stone,
one flesh one spirit one home...
Earth, trees, sand, sky
Room to breathe and room to die
Earth, trees, sand and sky
Room to breathe and room to die
Evening light setting sun
solstice night has just begun
Light the fire hold the chain,
shadows dance around the flames...

One Way Trip
(Lyrics: Wishart)
Tell it to the leaf that fades to black
Shout it to the brightest star
Tell her we're leaving and we're not coming back
She'll hear you wherever you are
She'll hear you wherever you are
Tell her we're leaving for wide open spaces
Way past the sun
Leaving behind those tired old faces
Our lives have just begun
Tell her we're leaving in a big white ship
With wings as wide as the sky
Tell her it's gonna be a one way trip
She'll hear you when you say goodbye
Tell it to the leaf that fades to black
Shout it to the brightest star
Tell her we're leaving and we're not coming back
She'll hear you wherever you are...

Always
(Lyrics: Wishart)
There’s always someone wanting you
There’s something more to do
Always... you
There’s always a way out of here
Always a solution
There’s always a way to find
Always a conclusion
Always...
There’s always more to say
Always some destruction
There’s always an excuse
Always in construction
Always...
There’s always someone watching you
There’s always something you can do
There’s always someone watching you
There’s always something you can do
Always...
There’s always someone wanting you
There’s always something more to do
Always...
There’s always a way out of here
Always...
Always a way to find
Always.

Sarah’s Surprise
(Lyrics: Wishart)
It's such a surprise
It's such a surprise
I can see it in your eyes
You've been telling me lies
I've seen thru your disguise
Oh yeah
It's such a surprise
I can see it in your eyes
What else will I find in the back of
your mind?
What secrets have you hidden there?
You should have tried to be kind
When I cried and I cried
But you know
You don't really care
It's such a surprise
I can see it, I can see it, I can see it,
I can see it
I can see it, I can see it, I can see it,
I can see it
I can see it in your eyes, in your eyes
Very slowly, very quietly
There's a wheel that turns and turns
Is there someone to take care of it?
When will it stop when will it end?
There's a space amidst the chaos
That is cool and calm
Is there someone to take care of it?
When will it stop when will it end?

Hit The Moon
(Lyrics: Wishart)
A ruined face and a ruined voice
Cry 'John', cry 'John'
She waits and waits all night long
What's going on? What's gone wrong?
All the day it never stops
Crying 'John', crying 'John'
Again she waits and waits and waits
No one comes, No one comes
So who is John? No one knows
It’s been too long, much too long
Well I heard her cries day and night
Her ruined mind rambled on...
Crying 'John', oh crying ‘John’
I followed the ways of luggage lines deeply
Understood their intent and leapt through the machine
Back to those purple chairs,
I should be sitting there
Down side steps finds humanity’s trash
Off came clothes and discarding the past
I cleansed myself with milk and wine
Fingers played gadgets, cracking codes
Cracking codes and controlling their trucks
She said 'you can get dressed',
I'd passed the test
This day I'd travel to another world
Left alone, I spun my lines
Down the twisty baggage shoot
Helter skelter spat me out
Smooth grey tarmac, startled shout
Into the plane, onto the rack
Goodbye mum I won't be back
Crucified me on the only door
Braced and ready for their attack
Ziggy took me off in Black Mariah
Where the bigger rockets fly
And when we hit the moon
I heard her cry, I heard her cry, cry 'John'

Two Friends
(Lyrics: Falcone, with additions by Wishart)
Two friends sitting here in the dark
Waiting for the rain to go
Plenty to say, nothing to do
We look inside, we look at you
Look inside, look at you
Talk about people we have known
Bring them all back to life
What went wrong, what went right?
Knowing where to go,
Knowing what we know
Two friends sitting here in the dark
No matter what they need
Draw a little closer with each breath
Let the rain be their melody
Rain be their melody
Bear our souls down to the ground
We’ll be honest, we’ll be free
Let our eyes shoot in the dark
Light a light for you and me
Light a light for you and me
You turned your cheek when we
kissed good night
But yeah, you laughed on cue
at all the lines
We’re gone for days and we stay
out of touch
But yeah, we’ll talk again
And we’ll say so much
When the time is... right
You turned your cheek when we
kissed good night
But yeah, you laughed on cue
Two friends sitting here in the dark
Waiting for the rain to go
Got plenty to say, nothing to do
But look inside, and grow
Look inside and grow
Talk about people we have loved
Bring them all back to life
Bear our souls down to the ground
We shot so far, we shot so far,
yeah, we shot so far...
Shot so far, shot so far, shot so far...
oh no!

Behind The Veil
(Lyrics: Wishart)
Under one sun
Children of Earth
We are all one
One from our birth...
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Helpless and bare
Under the moon
Under her stare
Born from the womb
Helpless and bare
Under the moon
Under her stare
Born from the womb
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Under one sky
Under the stars
Through days and nights
In light and dark
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Under a tree
Under its spell
It’s all for real
Behind the veil
Behind the veil
Helpless and bare
Under the moon
Under her stare
Born from the womb
Helpless and bare
Under the moon
Under her stare
Born from the womb
So how does it feel? Fine

Crafted From Wood
(Lyrics: Falcone & Wishart)
Maybe we're crafted from wood
I thought into flesh and to bone
Or could I have misunderstood?
And everyone's sculpted from stone
Maybe we're moulded from tin
Or possibly spun out of hay
Big Bad Wolf can blow us to heaven
And Angels rebuild us from clay
So how do you know we are real?
Just cause we think and we feel
You can smell, you can touch and
give me so much,
But isn't that part of the deal?
Maybe we're grafted on trees,
It could be we're grown in a vat
Might we be sprouted from seeds?
I'm sure it can happen like that
Are the things that you hold the ones
that I see?
Does the stuff that you dream mean
something to me?
And what is the difference with
inside and out?
What is the truth, what should I
doubt?
So, how do you know we are real?
Just cause we think and we feel
You can smell, you can touch and
give me so much
But isn't that part of the deal?
Maybe we're crafted from wood
I thought into flesh and to bone
Or could I have misunderstood?
And maybe we're sculpted from stone
…maybe we’re sculpted from stone...

Child Growing
(Lyrics: Falcone, with additions by Wishart)
It’s just the wind...
she whispers her dreams...
She whispers her dreams, weaving
her doubt
sitting within, she's never been out
Believes in the dark, because of the
night
sweet candlelight, she holds to it tight
As I walked up the road, I looked into
the window of the record shop
And you were there, you and him
and you were laughing and you
were singing, laughing, and singing
…whispers...
She whispers her dreams, weaving
her doubt
sitting within, she's never been out
Believes in the dark, because of the
night
sweet candlelight, she holds to it tight
Dreamers are dreaming, all the things
that they know
but she is breathing, living to grow
Footsteps are falling, down in the snow
no one will enter, but the footprints
won't go
Caught in the fire…
Caught in a fire, unsteady flame
eyes never tire, of watching your game
Caught in the fire, unsteady flame
eyes never tire, of watching your game
Breeze on your face, window ajar
for a moment dark moves, the dream
not so far
Dreamers are dreaming, all the things
that they know
but she is breathing, living to grow
Warm air cools, outside is yours
you take it to hand, open the door....
...you open the door...
…open the door... child growing
...child growing... child growing..
...child growing... child... child growing...
...open the door

Candles
(Lyrics: Falcone)
Take a look at me over here
I cannot move, but I'll always be near
Because you're the same,
you're with me
We've been playing a serious game
A lot of time has passed us by
No one remembers just when we died
Somewhere upon the beaten track
This spirit you love may not
come back
You are so right when you pray
Only with hope can we stay
You are so right when you pray
I've got a message today
I think it came from a place up high
I never see just what you say
But it's written here in ink that's dry
I wish that you could come to me
I wish that I could go to you
If they turn me round I know I'll see
Something old and something new
You are so right when you pray
Only with hope can we stay
You are so right when you pray

Storm Shelter
(Lyrics: Wishart)
In your arms I shelter from the storm
And your gentle touch thrills me to
the core.
Your laughter fills my heart
And the nights that we're apart
last much too long.
In my eyes you shine like a star
Who would have believed that
we'd have come this far,
And now I've found your love
I thank the Lord above for this
sweet song.
Baby mine I love you
Baby mine I really do
And when you're in my dreams
I wonder what all this can mean
Are you the one that I've been
waiting for?
By your side I feel so safe and strong
And your loving smile
Is like the break of dawn.
Our love grants us the wish
That the nights we spend in bliss
last oh so long.
Baby mine I love you...

Evening
(Lyrics: Wishart)
It’s in the evening when I'm sitting
here alone
That I miss you most of all.
I'm here for hours thinking that you're
home
But I'm staring at a blank wall
You've gone and I'm not sure how I
let you go
Whose won, who has lost I'm sure I
don't know
Somebody tell me it’s alright
kiss away my tears
Somebody tell me it’s alright
Brush away my fears
I guess it’s the same old scene
Just never happened to me
I guess it’s the same old scene
It just never happened to me
Am I sitting here dreaming dreams
Beyond reality
Am I sitting here dreaming dreams
Beyond reality
Somebody tell me it’s alright
Somebody tell me it’s alright
Don’t you know, don’t you know,
don’t you know
There’s nothing worse than being
left alone
And my heart cries cries out for you
And you’ve gone, and I don’t know
what to do
I guess its the same old scene
Just never happened to me
I guess its the same old scene
It just never happened to me
Am I sitting here dreaming dreams
dreaming dreams, dreaming dreams
Somebody tell me its alright
Somebody tell me its alright
Alright

Dancers At The End Of...
(Lyrics: Wishart)
Dance for the body and soul are
one affair
Dance for the moon and sun are
always there
Dance to the rhythm that flows
in your veins
Laugh with the joy and the peace
that it brings.
Let it flow with you, let it flow with
you
Let it flow, let if flow, let it flow
All around
Dance with a stranger, dance with
love and pride
Dance with a heart that's free from
desire
Dance with a strength that comes from
deep inside
Dance with the one who's standing by
your side
Let it flow...
Dance with the light of the night sky in
your hair
Dance with a mind that's free from
despair
Dance for the dance is a dance on
thin air
Dance with the dancers dancing
everywhere
Let it flow...

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis.
