Ships Will Sail
Ships will sail out of reach, over horizons,
Slips beneath those plodding feet she keeps her eyes on.
Living in her daydreams, living in the past,
Course charted with a compass; the needle had been lost.
Don’t wait, don’t wait.
Dreams will wake unfulfilled; don’t try to hold them.
Bonds will break, you can’t rebuild; don’t try to mould them.
Standin’ on a threshold, decision in hand.
Will you leave your old desires behind you in the sand?
Don’t wait, don’t wait.
Would you sail that crooked strait?
Would you weigh that anchor?
How much longer will you wait to raise your voice and thank her?
Inky fingers hold the key to liberate her.
She no longer hears the voice of the narrator.
A great big expectation bubbles up inside,
Got no more illusions, got nothin’ left to hide.
Won’t wait, won’t wait.
Would you sail that crooked strait?
Would you weigh that anchor?
How much longer will you wait to raise your voice and thank her?

I was born for rainy weather
I love to find adventure in mundane
I move swiftly like the glacier
Leaving only empty valleys in my wake
It’s not difficult to master
Just edge it on a little every day
Try to keep an open mind
Never judge somebody trying to do the same
Profundity don’t come easily to me
We’re not all blessed with that type of brain
If atheism has a teaching
It’s sling your saddle and grab on to the reins
As if you need reminding
In a short while we will all be dead
So try to show a little kindness
Never judge somebody trying to do the same
Try to mind your own business
Never judge somebody trying to do the same

The Good by Ruth McGill
You ran away with me today
As far as we could from the shade
Met at the corner of joy and being understood
So
We’ll take the good with the good with good with the good
You filled up the belly of my livelihood
We passed by the place where we both had been
uncertain and unseen
Smiled at the worth of those steep learning curves
So
we’ll take the good with the good with the good with the good
And we’ll fill up the world with each of our livelihoods
With both hands.
With both hands, holding.
With both hands.
With both hands, holding on.
The rate that it takes for a heart to race
Or at least these 2 hearts in this case
To cram the world into such a tight space
Oh
It’s been said it’s been done but never tried again & again & again
All clocks set to the dial of loving
with both arms
with both arms
holding.
with both arms
with both arms
holding on.
I got back home just this second
Though it’s feels like hours
Covered my eyes with my hands to feign a surprise element
But when I awoke you were not there
And I set my heart to searching forever for you
with all of me
with all of me
with all of me
open

I had a terrible thought,
Buzzing in my brain like a fly that got caught,
I thought a very bad thing,
I’m trying to forget it but it’s not happening.
I start to cook, read a book,
Go to bed, can’t get it out of my head.
Since it got caught in my brain,
Yeah the thought is driving me like a runaway train.
I had a terrible thought,
Buzzing in my brain like a fly that got caught,
I thought a very bad thing,
I’m trying to forget it but it’s not happening.
Cut to the quick, it make me sick,
And so upset, can’t think of anything else.
It’s something that I mustn’t do,
But I feel like I want to see it through.
I had a terrible thought,
Buzzing in my brain like a fly that got caught,
I thought a very bad thing,
I’m trying to forget it but it’s not happening.
And it’s a bad very bad thing.
Yeah it’s a bad, very bad thing.
I wonder could I really do it, I don’t know,
I think I could but thinking doesn’t make it so.
Now I’m not sure how to feel, when wrong is right what is real?
I don’t know how this will go.
I had a terrible thought,
buzzing in my brain like a fly that got caught,
I thought a very bad thing,
I’m trying to forget it but it’s not happening.
And it’s a bad very bad thing.
Yeah it’s a bad, very bad thing.
Sudden as a subtle blade, and in a beat a choice is made,
Well, where should it end?
When all you think of every day is slipping off in sweet decay
With that fell, fast, final friend…
I had a terrible thought,
buzzing in my brain like a fly that got caught,
I thought a very bad thing,
I’m trying to forget it but it’s not happening.

Smelt Mill Bay
Rainbows over Smelt Mill Bay
Misty woods on the costal way
Saw a bird bear my cares away
And vanish in the clouds
Oh I wish I was in Bangor, now
Past the black door with the blood red squares
Nestled in the back bar on those long bench chairs
God bless those yellow walls for I was happy there
They clutched my heart so tight
Oh I wish I was in Fealty’s tonight
All those years of loneliness
Quiet rooms and crying fits
How I hungered for the tenderness
Of a friend’s hand on my arm
Ghosts may haunt the Jenny Watts
Jelly beans and silly talk
We took Dot out for a walk
Down by Jamaica Inn
Oh I will miss the campus faces
The pursuit of academic graces
But aching hearts need hearthside places
I think I always will
Oh I wish I was in Bangor, still
(Hums)

Open up a summer's day
The air is clear its late in May
I get up and I go down
Summer laid its blanket out before us
Wonder if my father saw us
I get up and I go down
A Summer evening in the town
In the laneway there is fun
Falling out into yourself
And then I turn around
And I see you finding out
Is this love for keeps?
You are on my mind and I cannot sleep
DA DAD DAD DA
We stay up
We were talking
I cant remember the things we said
To each other
You are falling into me
I was loving you from that very moment
An early house or somewhere else
Around the town again
All those things to me were said
And the beat goes on and on
And then comes the loveliest dawn
And its getting brighter still
And the room begins to fill
Oh my love I had almost lost the fight
You were right
Its so bright
You were right
Its so bright
Its so bright
Its so bright
And you said oh stop wishing on those stars
You are perfect the way you are
X 4
How I noticed everything
All the lashes on the tree
Open up a summers day
It was late or early May
Oh my love
Waiting for the world
To be bright
How the fire burned x3

This is where we belong
I’ll lift my head to find the sunrise and call your name
I’m unsteady never certain could fall again
Trouble locks into your sightline you stall
Faith unworthy will this work at all
Desire has risen like a blood sun the sound of chords
Of change that wakes us from the deep to ground with force
The slightest shift is all it takes I’ve found
Escape to heaven in a step unbound
The right words just won’t fall at our feet
Is it love is it death so won’t you take a seat
I’ll reach for the sky a little worse for wear
The depth of memory means you’re always there
I know the rain won’t fall on me alone
Carry the words my father never sung
And while hope never fades
We can’t just sit around some place and wait
When this is where we belong
Wipe all yesterdays and walk tall ignore the cost
All of the thousand little doubts you wore then lost
This is the spark within the fire, the roar
I’m digging deep with you beside and I want more
Our faith it hangs til we wake from the haze
Scream to the sky that I’ve seen better days
I agree with them less maybe youth is remorse
I’m ripping up roots to turn my back on the source
CHORUS
And in the raising of a dead hope we’ll find a new belief
I’m not one for hesitation just keep moving on our feet
A dance of new defiance, won’t reinvent the wheel
We’re never too old to feel
CHORUS
