BURNING WOOD
There is no fire in the morning except my burning wood
I would not put that fire out even if I could
My memory still remembers the feeling of those trembling embers
Oh Lord nothing ever felt as good
The fire it makes you nervous I see it in your eyes
I'll take you out into the woods and chop you down to size
Throw you on the raging fire, didn't think could get any higher
Oh girl you're in for a surprise
That burning wood
That burning wood
So when you wake up from the deepest sleep
And stick your head out the window to breathe the air in deep
Make sure not to choke on that bitter-sweet honey sugar like smoke
While I'm still sleeping lying in a heap
When I wake up straight away I turn to my bride
She says here darling try this fruit find out what's inside
Some kind of honey sweet smell drifting out into the street
When I open up that morning window wide
That burning wood
That burning wood

Down By The Wayside
Way down by the wayside is where I like to lie
I feel I've fallen from favour when I look in your eye
And if you care to look darling, you'll be surprised
I'm in love
Now I may be in love but I have eyes for you
Just about ready to do anything that you wanted me to
And regardless of time and of the space there will always be a place
In my heart for you
My chance is lost
My heart you can keep
I have paid the cost
Of getting in too deep
I have waited too long
For the sake of my pride
Living in the shadows
Down by the wayside
My body is not a guitar yeah I think you can tell
But you played me five times last night yes you played me well
I see you're taking no prisoners you're out of your shell
I can tell
Your kisses on my forehead are the sweetest around
The sheets in which we move in make a beautiful sound
I can barely speak when I'm binded and bound so aroused
From the break of day
My chance is lost
My heart you can keep
I have paid the cost
Of getting in too deep
I have waited too long
For the sake of my pride
Living in the shadows
Down by the wayside

TOMORROW
Tonight me and my love
We won't sleep at all
For I'm soon to be heading out to sea
I can hear America's call
I fear the day is drawing near
The sun is soon to rise
And the bitter-sweet golden glare
Is in my darling's eyes
Well tomorrow I'm sailing away
On a ship heading for the west
Leaving my loved one's behind for good
For it's there that I will rest
Think of me while I'm away
Take good care of my son
And I shall be kept warm
While facing foreign guns
And when the canons cut me down
The light begins to fade
I will die alone before my child has grown
Thinking of the family I've made
Well tomorrow I'm sailing away
On a ship heading for the west
Leaving my loved one's behind for good
For it's there that I will rest

BATTLECRY
I was interrupted
By a sound that hit my ears
As it came in from the window
I've been lying awake
Just watching the day break
Drifting which ever way the wind blows
I was running nowhere just for the hell of it
I've been lying in the grass just so I remember the smell of it
I feel the thrill
Of a bitter chill
Creeping in the evening air
I feel the past
And know it can't last
As it carelessly carries me there
I'll go throw myself into the ocean
Just to feel the soothing sway of its motion
At a certain time of year
Darkness drawing near
Fighting a war that can't be won
Treacherous tales
On the tip of my tongue
Doing what cannot be undone
I hear your battle-cry as bells are rung
Such a bitter sweet song we sung
