LEAVE THEM ALONE They live a life of peace No harm to you and me  The greed of man destroys The life thats gifted to our world  Ashamed by our ways  The slaughter in the bays No sense in how we act Man the stone-age artefact Leave them alone There is a need to feed  this love of human greed The guardians of the seas Wish no harm to you and me Leave them alone

WE AS ONE 03:40
WE AS ONE I want to be  A better man Do the best that I can For the ones I love  And share this life Be together Going to spend my time Close to you You close to me  We as one  Forever be Close to you You close to me  We as one  Forever be Life from the past Is all around Guiding you From stormy ground Fear has died Inside my heart Closer now We're not apart  Close to you You close to me  We as one  Forever be Close to you You close to me  We as one  Forever be

THE WORLD STOOD UP Time for reflection Peace Gather Belief Remember  Young and the old Quite and hungry Out in the cold The world stood up The walls came down Sound of joy all around The tables turned  And ears they burned Took a chance with our hands With our hands The sharers and the givers Out on the streets  Angels around us Work when you sleep The tired and caring The brave and the bold The smilers and lovers  That light up our world

CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND I was playing on the Isle of Hoy Sang until I lost my voice While the wind blew crazy Then I got lost at sea Ended up on Tiree On a Calmac ferry I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND Keeps blowing me back again I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND Oh no no no Ended up in Lamlash Got a wee bit of cash From the pierhead tavern Went to see John Martyn sing But couldn’t hear a bloody thing Cause the wind kept howling I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND Keeps blowing me back again I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND Oh no no no Ended up in Portree Went to Dunvegan to see The Peatbog Faeries Ended up in Edinbane Farquhars playing fiddle again It was amazing  I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND Keeps blowing me back again I CAN’T GET OUT OF THE WIND Oh no no no

WELCOME MY SONS Welcome my son welcome to this world Welcome my son welcome to this world Nights are long as the days go rolling in It won’t be long till that river is rising again Your mothers eyes and my fathers smile is what I see It won’t be log till you’re rocking and rolling with me Welcome my son welcome to this world Welcome my son welcome to this world I’ve been dreaming about you for so long You and me we’re going to be fine I can’t believe its happened to me rightness But thats right thats right i’m you’re daddy I’m you’re old boy

THIS IS THE LIFE Put your boots we’re going out Up the mountain to the very top We’re going to climb Put your boots we’re going out We’re going to see the horses We’re going to take them out for a ride Life Oh thats life Life This is the life Put your coats on we’re going out To a party We’re going to let it all hang out tonight Life Oh thats life Life This is the life Life life life This is the life

for the memories of I went out to see my dad I dopnt think hell could be so bad cause he was lying in a ward all alone with the curtains drawn then i saw in his eyes he had been to the other side for they had taken out the voice from a man with no chaoice going to sing it high going to sing it low going to sing everywhere i go for the memories of the greatest dad a boy could ever have eighteen years from this day i went with my mum to hear them say another year you have to go i’m sorry that you had to know going to sing it high going to sing it low going to sing everywhere i go for the memories of mum dad and for all the love i had let the wind blow high let the wind blow low from my heart you will never go

HIGH ON YOU 03:07
High on you I'm low On cash On beer On stash On time Cheap wine On sun shine But baby I'm high on you I've got cheap shoes Bad News A Rears Way up to my Ears But baby I'm high on you Everywhere I seem to go I see your face Everywhere I seem to go i feel so out of place Without you I'm down on luck no fuel i'm stuck on lives be breaks i'm no great shakes but baby i'm high on you
