IRELAND


There is a land that I can go to
When I have time to rest.
All the people I love are there
And those who love me best.

[Chorus]
Then I heard the wind
Calling from over the sea
Saying, "Ireland, Ireland,
When will you be free?"
"Ireland, Ireland,
When will you be free?"

This land I go to when I'm tired
And need to see and walk in green.
The people who can laugh and drink
And see things others have not seen.

[Chorus]

There is another side to this pure land,
A side of blood and guilt and pain
A side of enemy and friend
And sorrow at the hearth side stain.

[Chorus]

There is a land that I can go to
When I have time to rest.
All the people I love are there
And those who love me best.

[Chorus]

"Ireland, Ireland,
When will you be free?"
"Ireland, Ireland,
When will you be free?"

PENTHOUSE SERENADE


Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of heaven for just you and i
When we're alone.

From all of society we'll stay aloof
And live in propriety there on the roof.
Two heavenly hermits we will be in truth
When we're alone.

We'll see life's mad pattern
As we view old manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are.

In our little penthouse we'll always contrive
To keep love and romance forever alive
In view of the hudson just over the drive,
When we're alone.

We can thank our lucky stars
That we're living as we are.

In our little penthouse we'll always contrive
To keep love and romance forever alive
In view of the hudson just over the drive,
When we're alone.

THIS TIME


This time
If you want me to come back
It's up to you,
But remember
I want a lot other things you used to do
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line.
This time will be the last time.

This time
If I should feel unwanted
I won't stay.
Each tomorrow
Will depend on the love you give today.
It's all up to you to stand by.
This time will be the last time.

If this time should be
Anything like the other time
This time will be the last time.

This time
If you want me to come back
It's up to you,
But remember
I want a lot of things you used to do.
You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line.
This time will be the last time.

If this time should be
Anything like the other time
This time will be the last time.

SO SAD


Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Treading the waves,
Come in from harm.
How could you regret your other words
Hoping for thrills oh free as a bird

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

There's a knock at the door,
I get up oh let you in.
Travelled and stained,
Soaked to the skin.
Welcome my darling, you got here at last
Come and sit by the fire oh forget what's past.

So sad, so sad,
So sad, so sad.

Strum me hard, strum me fast,
Fears sure built into every wall.
Looking hard through the glass,
Fears sure built in with every waltz.

Looking out at the rain
Looking in through the storm.
Looking back, looking forward,
Flying up, flying down oh
What have you found?

So sad, so sad
What have you found?
So sad, so sad
What have you found?
So sad, so sad
What have you found?
So sad, so sad

I'M NOT LISA


I'm not Lisa,
My name is Julie.
Lisa left you
Years ago.

My eyes are not blue,
But mine won't leave you
Till the sunlight
Has touched your face.

She was your morning light,
Her smile told of no night.
Your love for her grew
With each rising sun.

And then one winter day
His hand laid her away,
She left you here
Drowning in your tears,
Here, where you've stayed for years,
Crying,

FLAMING SEPTEMBER


The summer dying
September lives in flames
The sisters dancing
No happy ending to the game
Don't bother to call me
Think I'll stay here just the same

[Chorus]
Flaming September
What can you give me that is true?
Do you remember
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life I gave to you?

The summer dying
September lives in flames
My youth lies bruised and broken
No happy ending to the game
Don't bother to tell me
I'll live on here just the same

[Chorus]

Flaming September
What can you show me that is true?
My heart remembers
Do you remember
Do you remember
All the life I gave
To you?

Flaming September
Flaming September

ASHES IN MY HAND


It took a long time coming
That big over the shoulder statement
But when it came, it flowed easy as poison
Taken in extreme despair [Repeat: x3]

Remember to write often
In case you have something to tell me,
But please don't mention the unexpected guest
Staring into empty eyes [Repeat: x3]

A long lost confidence and pride
Come ringing back, come ringing back
To have the shadow back again
And happiness that feels like pain.

Then you left us
To see if you could find it
And when you came back, it flowed easy as poison
It flowed easy as poison
Taken in extreme despair [Repeat: x3]

A long lost confidence and pride
Come ringing back, come ringing back
To have the shadow back again
And happiness that feels like pain [Repeat: x2]

Happiness that feels like pain. [Repeats]

ROSIE ROSIE


Rosy, won't you please come home,
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home,
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

Oh, my rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it, please, come back.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Since you joined the upper classes
You don't know us anymore,
Live and let your trouble pass.

Rosy, rosy, where are you, tell me,
If you don't want to come back.
I will sacrifice all I have
To have a happy home once more.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Two long years have passed away.
Since you tried to change your life
Christmas wasn't quite the same.

Rosy, rosy, got any answers?
You are miles across the sea
And I'll bake a cake if you tell me
You are on the first plane home.

Rosy, won't you please come home,
Mama don't know where you've been.
Rosy won't you please come home,
Your room's clean and no one's in it.

Oh, my rosy, how I miss you,
You are all the world to me.
Take a look and see if you like it,
If you like it, please, come home.

Rosy.
