Lyrics
I Found You
How my feet want to jump up
Push me high to the sky
I found you
How my heart is beaming like the sun,
And the moon, and the stars beyond
I found you
Little Suitcase
Packed, my little suitcase
It’s brown and lined with blue
That you once used
One of a set of four,
That went from big to small
They belong together
Packed my little suitcase
It’s brown and lined with blue
That once belonged to you
The big one for your suits,
The little one for your shoes
Too big for me to use
If I were to travel
To some new place
Could I walk away from
Feelings I can’t face?
Packed my little suitcase
Its handle old and used and
worn into
The indent of your strong hand
Can feel each time I grip this bag
That I now carry
If I were to travel
To some new place
Will I find a new home
Or just more empty space?
Now I’m off to travel
To some new place
I’ll carry you with me everywhere
And my little suitcase
The Wealthiest Queen
Golden silver and blue
The sky above you
Glistens all day and all night
Jewels of delight
Dreamy waves lift and sway
Beneath you
And glimmer with the sun and
the moonlight
Endless delight
A warm blanket, pattern of the sky
A strong body to cradle you all night
Golden silver and blue
The sky above you
Give yourself over to
The riches above you
Dreamy waves lift and sway
Beneath you
Give yourself over to
The waters they’ll hold you
A warm blanket, pattern of the sky
A strong body to cradle you all night
Here, I’m such a long way from home
I’ve no bed, no blanket,
I can call my own
Still as I lie here on my back,
in the sea, looking up
I’m as wealthy as a queen
Black Umbrella
Oh I like to walk out in the rain
Splashing down in vain
The canopy of my black umbrella
It’s my own private shelter
There were hard days its true
Many I did share with you
But all the while you did love me
Now I know it to be true
Oh when I walk out in the rain
And it’s splashing down in vain
Sweet clear drops, the streets so empty
All alone with just my memories
There were hard days its true
Many I did share with you
But all the while you did love me
Now I know this to be true
Oh I like to walk out in the rain
Splashing down in vain
Body On The Water
I found your body on the water
All wrapped in weed and sea vine
Washed up to shore where
I would find you
Another mess you left behind
Dark deep and twisted lines,
mark your pretty face
What drags you down, down, down?
Or do you lower your
head willfully
Cos you know I’ll come around
I drag your body up from the shore
And lay you across the sand to dry
Why do I come back down here
every night
With all the salty water I cry?
Warm One
The bars all seem empty now
Foreign faces buzz around me
in a blur
My feet are so weary
Words have run dry
I can’t find you here
I search and no-one comes near
I long to hear your voice
And know I am your
favourite choice
My warm one
The days seem much longer now
Still dark nights, fall heavy to
the ground
All day my thoughts walk silently
In dreams I cry out loud
How I want you here
I search but no-one comes near
I long to hear your voice
And know I am your
favourite choice
My warm one
With that fiery look
Into the room you walk
I hear your tender voice
I know I am your
favourite choice
The days seem much longer now
Still dark nights, fall heavy to
the ground
All day my thoughts walk silently
In dreams I cry out loud
How I want you here
I search but no-one comes near
I long to hear your voice
And know I am your
favourite choice
My warm one
With that fiery look
Into the room you walk
I hear your tender voice
I know I am your
favourite choice
Gillian
Soft, she sings her song
& sweetens the air
Moaning like a turtle dove
Longing for its pair
A wing across the ocean
Moonlight up above
A voice to carry you there
Please would you sing
Just a little while
Let me escape the passing of time
No secret does she hold, that she
would not share
Jewels she knows are to give
Not possess in fear
You will find a ribbon
Of gold in every song that you hear
Please would you sing
Just a little while
Let me escape the passing of time
One Day Soon
I’m counting, on my love
I’m leaving my home
On my own I, will travel
To somewhere, I’m unknown
But where I will find you,
I’ll find you there
This has been my home,
but now I don’t belong here
Oh, it’s been such a long time
One day soon you will be mine.
And I’ll know you, when I find you
By the colours, that you’ll wear
And the sound, the sound of
your voice
It will sing, to my ears
Oh, it’s been such a long time
One day soon you will be mine.
Abigail & The Whale (The Blue Queen of The Deep)
Come along and swim next to me
I’m the queen of the sea
Come along and swim next to me
No-one will get in our way
They’re just so scared of me
Hold onto my side
Barnacle or fin
Get ready, we’ll dive in
We’ll see turtles and creatures
with wings
And colourful coral that sways
as it swims
In my queen-dom
We can go as far out as you like
You won’t get lost
Not while you’re next to me
We can go as deep as you like
You won’t get cold
Not while you’re next to me
In my queen-dom
Hold onto my side
Barnacle or fin
Get ready we’ll dive in
We’ll see turtles and creatures
with wings
And colourful coral that sways
as it swims
Come along and swim next to me
I’m the queen of the sea
A Whisper
Just between you and me
No-one else can see
They don’t know
It’s too complicated to show
They can’t see
What we know
And all that has been
Just between you and me
No-one else can see
My Midnight Special
Oh my man he is so fine
He shines a light on me
And I bask in it all day
From my trouble sets me free
He takes the pain in my shoulders
Lets it loose in his hands
He takes the sorrow in my dark eyes
Lets them brighten up again
Oh let me love him for a lifetime
And somewhere far beyond
Let me take him with me everywhere
Til I am dead and gone
You know he loves me on the inside
Like a singer knows her song
He loves me like a river
That flows ever on
Oh let me love him like a river
Flows ever on
