When a Nightingale Sang
[Verse 1 — Intimate, thoughtful]
I only went to clear my mind,
To think of what was said,
Some words are easy to forgive,
I Felt the Angels
[Intro: solo Hammond organ, soft]
[Verse 1: sparse, Rhodes and voice only]
I held your hand
You held on too

Grey road down to Waterford,
Mist upon the hill,
A green welly in the middle,

On a grey October tide,
With my hand in Daddy's pocket

Verse 1
He was seven that first summer,
When I took him down the stream,
With a little rod beside him

We had forty years together,
Mostly laughter, mostly good,
Built a life around each other,
Catherine’s Road to Magnolia Springs – Remix
[Verse 1]
There's an old road waiting,
Under branches hanging low,
Where the great oaks meet above you,
Another Life Another Day
Verse 1
There stood an old greenhouse
At the bottom of the lawn,
We'd talked about removing it,
13 Straws
My son gave me thirteen straws
And said, “Dad, you're irresponsible”
I looked at him
He looked at me
Four Minutes to Midnight
Verse 1
The station lay empty,
The last train was there,
A cold wind was moving
Smoking Angie
Verse 1
Friday night down at the local bar,
Same old faces, same old jar,
Darts in the corner, cards being played,
We Sail with the Wind
[Verse 1]
We don't decide where the morning goes
Or tell the tide which way it flows
We raise the sail
Passage to Folkestone
[Verse 1]
We slipped from Calais before first light
The Channel grey
The gulls in flight
Into the Storm
[Verse 1]
The glass fell hard at half past four
The wind backed west
Then backed once more
Into the Blue
Verse 1]
I slipped the ropes at break of day
The harbour lights were turning grey
A gull cried somewhere overhead

Hands of Gold
Verse 1
His hands were never handsome,
Knuckles swollen, fingers scarred,
Black beneath the nails on Friday,

He was twenty-three that winter,
Working cargo on the quay,
Three days tied up in Bergen,

Verse 1
I keep looking at the mantel,
At the clock we bought one spring,

Nothing happened today,
The kettle boiled at eight,
