I can hear the heartbeat of 1000 whales
Echo through the Harbour and dance up on the shales
Bring it in, bring it in on the westward Gale
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
The wind is wailing, storms rise up fast
Rise up a little one call me home at last
Bring it in, bring it in on the westward Gale
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Haul line, Haul line
You’re bringing in my heart this time
Haul line, Haul line
You’re bringing in my heart...
I can hear the heartbeat of 1000 whales
I’ve raised my anchor and I’ve rolled up my sail
Bring it in, bring it in on the westward Gale
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Sunburned sky, Salty air
Green, green eyes and your skin is so fair
Bring it in, bring it in on the westward Gale
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in on the westward gale
Bring it in, bring it in, grab it by the tail
Bring it in, bring it in, Oh what the hell
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in on the westward gale
Bring it in, bring it in, grab it by the tail
Bring it in, bring it in, Oh what the hell
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
Bring it in, bring it in, bring my love in
I can hear the heartbeat of 1000 whales

Hangin’ by the river up in Coboconk
Good ole friends, friendly talk

Whiling the time away
Come on along
Sing out yer song
Come on along
Coboconk
Come on along
Sing out yer song

There must be magic in them there hills
There must be something in the water there
There must be light, deep in the dark
Of the starlit nights of Coboconk
Come on along

Come on along
Sing out yer song
Come on along
Sing it out loud, sing it in the shower
Don’t worry about the words
You just hum it ‘till you got ‘er
Sing it to the river, sing it to the air
Sing it from your heart, everywhere
Come on along
Sing out yer song

Sing out yer song
Come on along

My mother brings out the flowers on the trees
She still going strong at the age of 93
Sometimes she’s a pain but a pain one must agree
Brings out the best in you, brings out the best in me
My mother ain’t afraid to laugh, ain’t afraid to kick your ass
Not afraid to call you out and look you in the eye
She’s got so many children to rustle up and hold close
But when it’s time to let you fly you’re the one she loves the most
My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near
Fiddling on a fiddle, her twisted fingers sing
Struggling with broken piano keys and the pleasure that music brings
Encore elle jouez un musique a bouche
Et clac a clac tous ses pieds
Sometimes she grabs a hammer, and gets up on that step ladder
Oh my god she’s 93 get her off that step ladder
My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near
Fill your world with business fill your world with worldly chores
Filled your world with life’s demands, opening and closing doors.
When your life gets filled right up and gets too much for you
Fill your world with mama and you fill your world a new
My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever mom is near
She don’t put up with dirty talk so get it out of here
My mom gets her power from the power of the sun
And spreads it around to all her kids each and everyone
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, give a rousing cheer
There’s fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near
Theres fire in the kitchen whenever ma is near
I Said “My mother brings out the flowers and the trees”

Close To The Flame

Well I could jump in this ole’ pick-up truck
Set it up just out a’ town
Set it alight late at night
And watch the memories go down
I could paint the paper in the faded room
Where grandpa passed away
But where would I hang the ole’ fiddle
He use to play and play
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Now you may call me an insensitive, low down, son-of-a-gun
For this livin’ in the past
But I’m the first to tell you if I ain’t the first
Well I sure as hell ain’t last!
Yeah! You ‘bin puttin’ down this one horse town
Your talkin’ slick but thin
Nice to know who’s side yer’ on in
this predicament I’m in
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice
Well I think I’ll take this ‘ole pick up truck
And drive it into the ground
Have a lotta’ laughs with family and friends
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
You may call it a waste of time
Free of responsibility
But life’s gotta’ be about the moment sometimes
And not just the mystery
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
We can weather any weather
Right here in paradise
Or we can gamble on a future
That leaves us cold as ice
Yeah! I think I’ll take this ole’ pick-up truck
And plant it out in the garden
Then I can tell my kids, who can tell their kids
Who can tell their kids, Who can tell their kids
That’s where your mom and I had our first heart-to-heart in
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame
Yes! I will always remain
Close to the flame

This Life Is Closing

Can somebody tell me, why a child of ten
Takes her life, cause things aren’t workin’
Things aren’t workin’ what’s a child of ten know
She knows enough that this is no way to grow
So it’s a little bit ‘a gas, a little bit of a stash
A little bit ‘a this and a little bit ‘a that
And it’s goodbye, goodbye to all that sucks in this world
And that’s just about everything
This life is closing
Can somebody tell me what’s going on
She didn’t come into this world to be slapped and spat upon
To be neglected, to be hit between the eyes
She didn’t bring herself into this world or didn’t you realize
So it’s a little bit ‘a gas, a little bit of a stash
A little bit ‘a this and a little bit ‘a that
And it’s goodbye, goodbye to all that sucks in this world
And that’s just about everything
This life is closing
It’s a little bit of a lack of attention
It’s a little bit ‘a government good intentions
It’s a little bit ‘a blame it’s a little bit ‘a shame
A little ‘bit ‘a white divine intervention
Somebody tell me what the hell it’s all worth
She’s bin’ a victim ever since her birth
Somebody tell me, somebody ‘fess up
Somebody tell me ‘cause she’s given up
So it’s a little bit ‘a gas, a little bit of a stash
A little bit ‘a this and a little bit ‘a that
And it’s goodbye, goodbye to all that sucks in this world
And that’s just about everything
This life is closing
Can somebody tell me why a child of ten
Takes her life cause things aren’t workin’

God Forsaken Blues
06:00

Somebody help me
Got no time to lose
My time is short
If you believe the news
No time to waste
No time to pick and choose
Somebody help me
Got the God forsaken blues
Where I grew up
Is like a foreign land
The idea of progress
I don’t understand
The land that nurtured me is
Paved over and abused
I’m not mistaken
I’ve got the
God forsaken blues
If your feelin’ like you got the short end of the stick
You breath the air, but it just makes you sick
You’re up against it but it just makes you more confused
You can rest assured you got the
God Forsaken Blues
I’d jump in this river but it
Has gone bone dry
It’s enough to make a
Grown man cry
One eye on progress
A blind eye to what we lose
Somebody help me
Got the God forsaken blues
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
Somebody help me

Reach The Moon
04:04

You take the call and it draws you in
Each shiny ring a new world begins
We find love in the strangest places
Replacing memories that love erases
I am waltzing through, an empty room
Dancing to a silent tune
Knowing your heart dangles there for me
Knowing this love may never be
Reach the moon, reach the moon
Will we ever, ever reach the moon
Reach the moon, reach the moon
Softly, sweetly, someday soon
All these roads, circling home
Wandering just, there, on the threshold
Will we ever bathe in the light of the good graces
Following the path our love line traces
Reach the moon, reach the moon
Will we ever, ever reach the moon
Reach the moon, reach the moon
Softly, sweetly, someday soon
I am waltzing through an empty room
Dancing to a silent tune
Knowing your heart dangles there for me
Knowing this love may never be
Reach the moon, reach the moon
Will we ever, ever reach the moon
Reach the moon, reach the moon
Softly, sweetly, someday soon
I am waltzing through, an empty room
Dancing to a silent tune
Knowing your heart dangles there for me
Knowing this love may never be

Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Walking in the fields on this God given day
The sun shines down and the mist melts away
The birds are singing a cacophony
The gifts of life are all around me
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
We rise and strive to meet our every need
We gather stones in our infinite greed
But if we lived sharing we would have every thing we need
More than we need
And the poor would not always be among us
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Walking in the fields on this God given day
The sun shines down and the mist melts away
The birds are singing a cacophony
The gifts of life are all around me
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
Its a wonderful, wonderful Life
