Woman like me
I’m a self made woman who’s made mistakes
I’ve got a dirty mind and a pretty face
If you backed the wrong horse in a one horse race
I’m the one you need to see
I’ve got an hourglass figure not a minute to spare
I wear my heart on my sleeve and a blade in my hair
If you’re heading for trouble I’ll meet you there
It’s where I’m supposed to be
D’you need a woman like me? x 4
I can drink like a horse at the rodeo
still wake up clear as the driven snow
If I like how you look I’m gonna tell you so
What you get is what you see
I got six in the chamber and I’m ready to go
Don’t try to tell me I already know
But I’m never gonna tell you I told you so
It’s plain for all to see
D’you need a woman like me? x 4
call me and I won’t come soon
I’m not dancing to any man’s tune
But maybe I’ll be naked underneath the harvest moon
wouldn’t you like to see
D’you need a woman like me? x 4
I can play the game but the cards are marked
I’m good in a fight and I’m great in the dark
I’m a pale princess with a warrior heart
I’m wicked company
D’you need a woman like me? x 4
D’you need a woman like me? x 4

The Ghost Of Edmond

THE GHOST OF EDMOND
I saw the ghost of Edmond
stood upon a hill
He wasn't moving just
standing very still
I felt the love from the day of our first kiss
Never was a man more sorely
missed.
My heart was aching as he
marched away to war
It ached as if it knew there'd
be a knock upon the door
To tell me my Edmond was lying on a hill
No longer moving just being very still
They said he was the bravest
as the battle raged around
As daylight fell, upon the hill,
my Edmond stood his ground
They said he was the bravest,
how he'd gallantly fought
But a knight came riding swiftly by
And cut him....
with his sword.
No more would I look upon his face
Ah! No more kisses sweet
But I knew if I could find that hill
That's where we two would meet
I saw the ghost of Edmond
stood upon a hill
He wasn't moving just
standing very still
I felt the love from the day of our first sweet kiss
Never was a man more sorely
Missed........

Another Life
He said he loved me in another life
Before the mountains were carved by ice
When stars were young
and the sun was bright
The very morning of our love
And then he loved me in another age
Another story for another page
Before the cities rose above the plains
Another dawning of our love
Another life in another life
All the times I loved you then
Another life in another life
In time I will love you again
Now we see the world on another night
At every turn a million points of light
But still he guides me like his satellite
In the slow revolving of our love
And I will find him in another life
Beyond the veils of stars and night
I will return to him an acolyte
In the ageless evolving of our love
Another life in another life
All the times I loved you then
Another life in another life
In time I will love you again
He said he loved me in another life
Before the mountains were carved by ice
When stars were young and the sun was bright
The very morning of our love
And I will find him in another life
Beyond the veils of stars and night
I will return to him an acolyte
In the ageless evolving of our love
Another life in another life
All the times I loved you then
Another life in another life
In time I will love you ......
Another life in another life
All the times I loved you then
Another life in another life
In time I will love you again

MAGIC HOUR
So we flew out over the islands, With the bright blue seas below
And as we landed in to Barra, We felt the sand between our toes
But the Caledonian weather Bade us shelter from the rain
Then the clouds blew by and that big old sky
Enveloped us again
As the clouds break over the mountains
And sunlight bathes the sea
Now the magic hour is on us, There is no place I’d rather be
So we took our bikes and we rode them
Past the fishing boats and looms
Where MacLeods MacNeills and Mackenzies
Made their homes in tiny rooms
And the rain came down in buckets
And the cold wind chilled our bones
But across the miles the people smiled
And offered up their homes
As the clouds break over the mountains
And sunlight bathes the sea
Now the magic hour is on us, There is no place I’d rather be
So we take our leave of the islands
To the lapwings’ farewell call
From the eagle’s high dominion
Where the raging waters fall
Where the mountains in the evening
Are bathed in golden glow
Where the sands of time are frozen
Pure as gold and shifting slow
As the clouds break over the mountains
And sunlight bathes the sea
Now the magic hour is on us, There is no place I’d rather be

SILVER DARLINGS
We're on the edge of the world
And the North sea rages below
Just a mouth in the rock
For us to land our fragile boats
We are resourceful, and we are strong
We must be so when the east winds pound
Four hundred steps chiselled into the rock
From the bottom to the top a
nd it's the same going down
Come all you darlings, our little silver darlings
The coastline is calling, Come into our boats
Our sweet little saviours, reward for our labours
Food on our tables and coins for our coats
We're on the edge of a changing world
Where the saltwater flows in our hearts
For will our children be the farmers of the sea
So far removed and so far apart
And the lines on my face
Just like the lines that trawl the sea
Are holding fast, and holding out,
for the days that are yet to be
We're on the edge of a changing world
Which in the blink of an eye could be gone
The fragile rock, the herring stock
The foundations we depend upon
And the music of the seas
It is no match for the noise of the world
And every tide that rushes in
Pulls at the hearts of our boys and girls

The Trysting Tree

THE TRYSTING TREE
The trysting tree is whispering
Remember me it says
I am the silent witness
Of centuries and days
I gathered and I sheltered you
Your lovers' sighs and breath
The vows you swore, of love and war
Are carved into my flesh
But where now do you wander
As you shelter here no more
Do you lie now in the ground
for evermore?
The trysting tree is listening
Through centuries it stands
As all of man's endeavour
Is gathered in its span
Its canopy, its energy
Stretched towards the sun
As seasons turn, The cycle carries on
But where are you my children
Who played here in my arms
I gathered you
and sheltered you from harm
Come to me, To the trysting tree….
Come to me, To the trysting tree….
The trysting tree is history
All energy and lore
Man plotted here for battle
And gathered here for war
All human life is folly
To the victor only pain
The branches sway
and the seasons turn again
Your children and their children
At the dying of the day
Generations turn, and turn away….
Come to me, To the trysting tree….
Come to me, To the trysting tree….

There Is A Seam

There is a seam
There is a seam beneath this land
A shining vein, black carbon band
The well of life, In all but name
The pits and the people, they are the same
The ancient wealth of ages past
Compressed and bound and gathered fast
From blood and bone, roots and remains
The pits and the people, they are the same
And those who seek to make us poor
Backfill the seams and close the door
They bring their thugs, their dogs of war
But we have all been here before..
And men were lowered into the black
They reached the seam, did not come back
And though the cost does stake its claim
The pits and the people, they are the same
For what is work but self esteem
A way to live by humble means
Through songs and laughter, and sweat and pain
The pits and the people, they are the same
And those who see but stand aside
Reject the truth, embrace the lies
Or understand, but take no side
They gather tools to widen the divide…
I was a child, not yet a man
I was not placed to understand
But I saw the hunger, I saw the shame
The pits and the people, they are the same
The pits and the people, they are the same
