Marta and the Soldier
03:53

Marta, would you marry me?
Marta, would you marry me-O?
I’ve waited long, your face to see
Tell me, would you marry me-O?
Returned from ‘cross the boundless deep
All I have is yours to keep-O
If you’d only marry me
Marta, would you marry me-O?
Wherever I have been
Whatever I have seen
It was you, my love,
Who kept me going on
I staggered homeward from the war
In tatters, rags, and little more-O
I wore the colours of the King
Now all I have are songs to sing-O
Wherever I have been
Whatever I have seen
It was you, my love,
Who kept me going on
My regiment lost in the grind
And seven fingers left behind-O
But I’d be whole if you’d agree
Marta, would you marry me-O?
For no matter where I’ve been
No matter what I’ve seen
It was you, my love,
Who kept me going on
It was you, my love,
Who kept me going on
It was you

Raven Hair
04:28
|

I have your picture
I hold it with care
I run my fingers
Down your raven hair
I'm writing this letter
My feelings laid bare
‘Cause all I long for
Is your raven hair
Raven hair
Sweet raven hair
Raven hair
Sweet raven hair
I will enchant you
My words like a prayer
I’d never harm you
Or your raven hair
Raven hair
Sweet raven hair
Raven hair
Sweet raven hair
Now, we may seem different
But we are a pair
Cleaved and devoted
To your raven hair
Your raven hair
Your raven hair

Red Dog
04:00
|

red dog howlin’ in the sun
heard him cry, callin’ for someone
mud flats boilin' in the heat
nothin’ to drink, not a bite for him to eat
and he howled
and he howled
about to break down
heard him moan, hundred yards away
saw the bones pokin' through the clay
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
about to break down
heard him wail, middle of the night
somebody gone, taken from his sight
so let him cry, cry with all his might
some things will never be made right
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
about to break down

stella maris
02:19
|

stella maris night bloom
indelible
infinite throne
wondrous fractal
impenetrable
intricate tone
scepter of ibis
obsequious
sacred unknown
spectral horizon
inexorable
tides flowing home
startling ellipses
illuminating
fool’s contraband
captive pernicious
duplicitous
burdensome man
merciful mistral
extinguishing
meaningless stand
stilling encounter
unbroken soul
tilling the sand

You've Got to Move On
06:09
|

Life is what you do
and what is done to you
what is done for you
You are what you make
of things that you've been through
don't let it make you blue
You've got to move on
Your way of thinking is bringing you down
Don't let it stop you or turn you around
Let out what's troubling you
Then leave it behind and just push on through
No matter the past and no matter the pain,
The disappointments, the guilt, and the blame,
Just let it go somehow
It's your life so try to live it right now.
Think of what you do
and what is done to you
what is done for you
Think of what you make
of things that you've been through
and what that does to you
You've got to move on
Your way of thinking is bringing you down
Don't let it stop you or turn you around
Let out what's troubling you
Then leave it behind and just push on through
No matter the past and no matter the pain,
The disappointments, the guilt, and the blame,
Just let it go somehow
It's your life so try to live it right now.
Time is passing through
and it will pass you too
so now, what will you do?
You've got to move on
