Handsome Molly
02:54

I wish I was in Boston or some other seaport town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat, I’d sail the ocean round
While sailing ’cross the ocean, while sailing ’cross the sea
I’d think of Handsome Molly wherever she might be
She rode to church on Sunday, she passed me on by
I saw her mind was changing by the roving of her eye
Do you remember Molly, when you gave me your right hand
You said if ever you’d marry that I’d be your man
Well now you’ve broke your promise, go home with who you please
While my poor heart is aching here lying at your ease
Hair as black as a raven, her eyes were black as coal
Her cheeks were like the lilies out in the morning grown
I wish I was in Boston or some other seaport town
I’d set my foot on a steamboat, I’d sail the ocean round
While sailing ’cross the ocean, sailing ’cross the sea
I’d think of Handsome Molly wherever she might be

Bright As A Button
02:50

Billowing, billowing sheets on the sill
You were bright as a button, smoother than silk
High and low, I will go wandering far
And I’ll spare a thought for all that you are
Your fire was catching, your need for unlatching
Was clear as a glass in the sun
You take your time with each sip of wine
Until time for going is gone
Flickering, flickering sky in the trees
And songs of the ocean that you sang to me
Weathering, weathering world spins around
With all we’ve forgotten and all that we’ve found
As cold as a shoulder, as big as a boulder
The heartache went on for so long
You say you’re fine with each sip of wine
But I feel time for going is strong
I let go of your hand, now I walk on without you
I heard that you’ve landed back where I found you
Billowing, billowing sheets on the sill
You were bright as a button, smoother than silk
High and low, I will go wandering far
And I’ll spare a thought for all that you are
And I’ll spare a thought for all that you are

In The Rain
03:12

Walking in the rain I’m revelling
Walking in the rain remembering
Running home to change out of my soaking clothes
To little pots of honey Ma warmed on the stove
Walking in the rain on gravel roads
Walking in the rain from head to toe
Splashing through puddles and dreaming of the snow
And smelling dinner cooking in other people’s homes
Walking in the rain on a mountain
Walking in the rain holding your hand
Stirring milk powder into steaming cups
Our packs are getting lighter and we’ve brought just enough
It falls and I can feel my skin
The brown leaves glistening
The thirsty creek flowing again
It falls and everything turns green
The tender hope, the wildest dream
Can we wash away the false things and the trends?
Walking in the rain I’m coming home
Walking in the rain, plane’s gonna go
I think of my guitar inside the belly of the beast
Wondering how I’ve been on the road for seven weeks
Walking in the rain
Walking in the rain remembering
Walking in the rain I’m revelling
Walking in the rain remembering

Where Did You Go
03:17
|

I don't know the rules to games
But I remember how I learned your name
I looked for ways to make it rhyme
Till I knew it just as well as mine
Knew it just as well as mine
You knew all the words to songs
That could show you where your heart belonged
You knew there was no part to play
So you threw yourself at every day
Threw yourself at every day
Chorus:
Where did you go
Where'd you go?
You travelled the world around
To see what questions could be found
And you wanted to save it all
So you spoke your heart and stood up tall
Spoke your heart and stood up tall
Chorus
I don’t know the rules to games
But nothing’s ever gonna be the same
We’re holding flowers now you’re gone
And in our hearts you’ll carry on
In our hearts you’ll carry on
