I wish you all the added success my Friend. TC Favorite track: Seagulls.

Seagulls 04:06
Down by the prom lights and under the peer The lads would be smoking and drowning in beer Just up above them Pavilion Hall Old folk would gather, having a ball The town would be busy some Friday nights There’d always be discos and always be fights But over the pebbles where the sand meets the sea Dancing with Seagulls is where I would be (Chorus) Dancing with seagulls was my favorite game It captured my idle thoughts and numbed the pain Of the long lonely evenings, I would be free Dancing with seagulls as they danced with me The sand was our dance floor soft underfoot We danced by the light of the low-lying moon The music the song that my dance partners made And time would stand still as we danced and we played So much has happened since I was kid The memories fade of the things that I did But dancing with seagulls those long lonely nights Will live to remind m the ret of my life Of the pain an the hurting of not being free And the long lonely search for what really was me And now that I’ve found him and now that I’m free I remember the dancing, the seagulls and me

I can build for you a road Lay the tar and break the stone Dig the dirt up golden brown Until the road has been laid down But I can’t make you walk I can’t make you walk I can make for you a path Through the woods to greener grass Across the moorland and the down That takes you onto higher ground But I can’t make you, I can’t make you walk I can’t make you, I can’t make you walk That’s up to you I’ll make a stair for you to climb As high as heaven’s highest heights Far above tha darkest clouds And the storms of life itself And I will lead you on your way Change you darkness into day Whisper gently in your ear Words that take away your fear And I can help you dream of things That make you want to live again And I can even take your hand And give you strength to make you stand But I can’t make you, I can’t make you walk I can’t make you, I can’t make you walk That’s up to you

There are shadows in the valley Where our tired feet must go But we hear the gentle waters As they whisper soft and low And our shepherd whispers gently As he leads us onward still There are shadows in the valley But it’s sunshine on the hill There are shadows in the valley But we breathe the sweet perfume Of the roses on the mountain In their lovely vernal bloom And again our shepherd whispers As He leads us onward still There are shadows in the valley But it’s sunshine on the hill Sunshine on the hill There is sunshine on the hill There are shadows in the valley But it’s sunshine on the hill Oh the shadows in the valley Like a dream will pass away They will vanish in the dawning Of a bright and glorious day Even now we hear the echoes And we feel it’s magic thrill There are shadows in the valley But it’s sunshine on the hill

Without your fire I’m a barren man Cold desire And empty hands No solid ground Where I can stand Without your fire I’m a barren man Without you love I’m a tuneless song Walking blind all my day long And it counts as naught what I have done Without your love I’m a tuneless song So light a fire In my soul Let it burn Let it glow And forge desire like liquid gold Without your fire my life is dark And all my plans fall apart And there’s no glory and life is vain Without your fire I’m a barren man
