Jesus Belongs To Me
03:34

Can it be the same when we've grown older
Will you still know how to laugh if you’re at my shoulder
Will our fates move together through all the toils ahead
Will we pay the price for our hour of leisure
So pillaged and abused is the house of pleasure
And we're blind as we walk alone but we're holding hands
Now Jesus belongs to me
Who will lead the way as we turn the corner
We're entering the bay of uncharted water
And the girl at the shore says there will be no more
Let it now be known that the window’s closing
No one will be left there will be no chosen
To raise up the new the old must be destroyed
Now Jesus belongs to me
Can we weep for what we've lost when we see the final cost
As the earth melts in the sun all the joy has just begun
We were led into temptation and lord how we've had our fun
Now Jesus belongs to me

Her Favourite Game
03:30
|
|||
She had a house and lived by the sea
With a garden full of trees
We would go round and knock on her door
And get down on our knees
She was so happy, she was insane
Playing her favourite game
She was so happy, she was insane
Playing her favourite game
She had a face all men would adore
Make every woman roar
She had a grace like no one on earth
Who ever came before
Take me away and I promise to behave
Take me today and i'll be happy in my grave

The Garden
03:55
|
|||
Please don't walk away
Never leave my side
Cause i'll be needing you
Every step of the way
Don't know where it’s going
But it will be OK
It could take all night
But we will get it right
If we reach the garden together baby
We can wake up feeling alright
If we try today we can sleep tonight, yeah
Da da da da da da da
We'll have to wait for evening
To understand the day
The sun has give us light
The moon will make our night
So let me come inside now
There's nothing left to hide
You know I won’t be around for long

The Guest

She would come and visit in the middle of the night
Always glad to see her we would welcome her inside
We take her in and make her feel at home
She has a drink and sits down on the floor
She likes to take her time because she's so unsure
Her playful eye will signal when it's time
She was always worried that she'd end up on her own
Wandering the wilderness with nowhere to call home
She had a dream she never would realise
She tried her best to reach up to the skies
She likes to take her time because she's so unsure
Her playful eye will signal when it's time

Come To The Fair
03:37
|
|||
Feel our world
Fall apart
Watch our world
Unwind
Watching the people I think isn't it sad
I can't help wondering why I don’t go mad
We've left behind everything good we ever had
We work and we sweat and we toil
Then we come home to bed
We laugh and we dance and we cry
Then we find ourselves dead
So you must
Come to the fair and no one will find you
Come for a ride and let yourself go
Keep at my side and no one will hurt you again
We no longer do what we are told
We no longer do what we are told
For now we are out in the cold again
While others are counting their gold
Stumbling through the pathless woods
Rapt before the shore

Back To The Start
04:59
|

We sailed off from a distant shore
To find the girl we all adore
The captain wanted it to be
So drunken sailors went to sea
A light will guide us from above
And help us find the one we love
If we can listen to the wind
The carnival can then begin
Don't run away now
Just wait until the morning
On hard times we are now falling
Back to the garden now we go
We are now ready to be told
The shrouded secrets that you hold
The clouded night has given way
For us to live inside the day
So come and stand beneath the sun
The ancient dance has just begun
There will be things to leave behind
To make the room for what we find

Down and Alone
04:35
|
|||
We built a world
Made up the rules
Sailed the streams of midnight dreams
We used to joke
We shared a hope
All was well inside our shell
How things went wrong
I do not know
Now i'm alone
Down and alone
I haven't smiled since I heard the story
Now the days that go by hold nothing for me
I have seen in the light there is nothing holy
And the girl at my side can never hold me
We saw the height of the heavens above us
She carries on as I live through the storm
While she is flying I look up from the bottom
Lord i'm ready to come home
Cause you're the only one who can save me now
Show me a way out of here
Late in the night when I come to you
Open your arms again

No Way In, No Way Out
05:27
|
|||
Saw a girl through the window
Who was looking so fine
Yeah I saw a girl through the window
Who was looking so fine
Will she ever love me
Will she ever be mine
I'd like to know what she's thinking
As she passes me by
I'd like to know what she's thinking
As she passes on by
Just want her to tease me
But she passes me by
No way in, no way out
I guess i'll figure it out
Never expected it to be easy
Woman on the cover of a magazine
Tell us all about the things that you have seen
Little lady you're the one who knows
Take us to a place of better shores

Forgotten Waltz
07:55
|
|||
We don't need an answer to things that we know
We don't need a reason for letting it go
We don't need a problem to work it all out
Some things were forgotten and now we're without
We should arrive there by night
I'll have a place at her side
She never meant me no harm
Soon i'll be back in her arms
Time has gone slowly since she went away
Now we are ready to find a new way
Forget the old promise that's now standing bare
We'll seek a new morning to light our despair
And then I found her there beside a narrow stream
She looked at me with eyes i'd never seen
And told me of the places she had been
And smiled for us all

Surrender
04:06
|
|||
Come take a walk with me into a dream
Things can be simple yeah just as they seem
Never wake up keep on chasing the gleam
Come cuddle up and start sowing the seed
Surrender yourself to me
Give me everything I need baby
Give all your love to me
Give me all of your love
Children wake up and the morning is bright
Some never find sunlit hours in the night
Never to know if they’re up or they're down
Some distant shores will just never be found

The Balladeers Glasgow
The Balladeers are a psychedelic 3-piece from Glasgow with an ear for timeless melody and a melting pot of sound and
styles.
Medieval riffs, 60's influences, romantic poetry, nursery rhymes and carnival fairground sounds. Blues and classical arrangements intertwine with gypsy stylings, and jazz and afro-based rhythms are all thrown into this insane mix, bound together with a distinctly minor key.
