    [Verse 1] Sunday afternoon Sittin' in my room Nothin's really changed It just looks the same Yet, it's over [Verse 2] Passed along my way Said she couldn't stay She stood all alone So l took her home She was my lover [Chorus] She is a singer in the band And when she sings I understand She lives inside her songs The only place to hide But she...Learn More

  2. [Lyric] Youve Only Been a Stranger (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] Hold back the day a little longer I need the night to make me blind Didn't know it but I know it now You've only been a stranger all this time [Verse 2] I thought I'd climbed up every mountain Thought I'd walked each weary shore But every word hits like a hammer And I can't take it any more [Bridge] A woman for a friend That's no answer...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] As I Used to Know Her (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] If you have words speak of her Don't use the time talk of shame The lies you sell are not of her But of another with her name [Verse 2] She wandered through my changing years On all she touched she left her trace And all the wonders of the day Were bowed in shame before her grace [Verse 3] I knew her in her winter coat Wrapped against...Learn More

    [Verse 1] 'Member how we used to play all along the river tracks And throw stones at all the lovers 'til they got up and threw them back?

  6. [Lyric] Lady Margaret (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] As I walked among the green fields one evening in May I spied the fairest damsels all at their sport and play Such beauty as beguiled me I ne'er did see again The one was Lady Margaret, the other Evelainne [Verse 2] I passed beside their garden as I daily went my way From work among the cattle where I daily earned my pay And as the sun...Learn More

    [Verse 1] Late last night my bride came by Tell me that she'd let me high She didn't even make me cry I wasn't even worried [Verse 2] I told her not to mind at all That I would take it and play ball I hope she don't have far to fall When she finds out 'bout Mavis [Chorus] Leave the bottles on the floor 'Cause I won't live here anymore I'll be...Learn More

  8. [Lyric] You Wear It Like a Crown (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] If I had a grand piano I would play a song for you A song to make you wonder like you've never done before With words to make the poets sing and worship at the gate for you But all I have are words that rhyme, and they've all been Sung before [Verse 2] Oh, and if I had the painter's eye I'd reach behind the mask you show And put it on a...Learn More

  9. [Lyric] Bells of Time (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] Down along the border upon a lonely night I saw a man in flowing robes, his hair was snowy white He said he was 500 years, and his hands were cold as ice Touching all the dead men who'd paid the highest price For living on his mountains and running in his grass Said he'd come to take his payment before the hour would pass [Chorus] There...Learn More

  10. [Lyric] Morning That Looks Like Rain (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] Could I but touch your mouth one time again? Would brighten up the darkest day Like some lost hero in a storybook Would light my way And we could listen to the wind again Sing it's soft and sad refrain The song don't sound the same no more Like it was before [Refrain] And morning looks like rain The morning looks like rain [Verse...Learn More

  11. [Lyric] The Horseman (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] It was on a cold and a windy night We sat waiting for the dawn Huddled close up to the fire And the shutters all were drawn When we heard hoofbeats comin' And a whiney in the night And the moon hung on the mountain seemed to shiver [Verse 2] A horse pulled up inside the yard And the horseman he leapt down We could hear him running to the...Learn More

  12. [Lyric] Epitaph (David McWilliams)

    [Verse 1] Fast as the day is, is winding down The night dark as a river A mist upon my weary eyes No saviour to deliver [Verse 2] An empty mask the easel stands No painter's breath to help her No priest to be her solitude No Christ to be her shelter [Verse 3] Tainted blood may serve as hate Those who live in waiting Unborn, undead, time murdered...Learn More
