MusicTranscript
00:00Just another diamond day, just a blade of grass
00:28Just another bear of hay, and the horses pass
00:33La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
00:39La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
00:46Just another field to blow, just a grain of wheat
00:52Just a sack of seed to sow
00:56And the children meet
00:59La la la la la la, la la la la la la la
01:06La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
01:12Just another life to live, just a word to say
01:18Just another love to give and a diamond day
01:48Glowworms show the path we have to tread
02:03Dreamers we should be asleep in bed
02:10Moving slowly through the springtime air
02:16Holding moments in the depths of care
02:23Holding moments in the depths of care
02:29Whisper fairy stories, tell they're real
02:42Wonder how the night could make us feel
02:48Living, living more with love to stay
02:55Long past sadness that was in her way
03:02Long past sadness that was in her way
03:10Dawn time mist begins reflecting light
03:23Waking sun will soon forget our night
03:30Love me through the day and I'll with you go
03:36Into summer and the next year's snow
03:42Into summer and the next year's snow
03:50In a lily pond I lay
04:00In a lily pond I lay
04:13All upon a day all upon a summer's day
04:16Then I chased a dragonfly
04:19All across an ancient sky
04:22Falling with a thousand stars
04:25Down the Milky Way to us
04:28Back again in time for day
04:31In a lily pond I lay
04:34La la la la la la la la la la la la
04:44La la la la la la la la la
04:47The only thing he said to me
04:50Was young lady I love thee
04:53La la la la la la la la la
04:56La la la la la la la la la la
04:59In a lily pond I lay
05:02All upon a summer's day
05:05Then I chased a dragonfly
05:08All across an ancient sky
05:11Falling with a thousand stars
05:14Down the Milky Way to us
05:17Back again in time for day
05:20In a lily pond I lay
05:29All across an ancient sky
05:41Morris Snail and Timothy Krupp
05:45Swanee and Blue and Emily Krupp
05:51Decided one day to go into the wood
05:57And built them a house and lived there if they could
06:02And they stayed there a while in the trees and the rain
06:08Till one day two blue men said, you're all insane
06:14And to please not come here again
06:18They had a green car called Happiness Runs
06:26Friday comes and happiness runs out of petrol
06:33And everyone gets out to push
06:37And suddenly see through a gap in the bush
06:43A real caravan just like the one in their dreams
06:49The gypsy doesn't want it, for nowadays it seems
06:54His own stays in one place and gleams
06:59He told them that he had a horse down the lane
07:06Saturday morning they went back again
07:11He showed them a shed that was built out of tin
07:17He opened the door and they all appeared within
07:22And there lying in the straw was a horse black as night
07:29With a star on her forehead and eyes full of light
07:34And they all fell in love at first sight
07:39They thought, and they thought, about having black best
07:45Timothy planted some mustard and crisps
07:51They lived in a cupboard and made it their home
07:57And lay there and dreamed of the days when they'd roam
08:02Up and down all the hills of the north countryside
08:09With the dogs eating buttercups on the wayside
08:14And they'd wave all the cities goodbye
08:20And they'd wave all the cities goodbye
08:34To the north side of the north by the south
08:37And they'd wave all the cities goodbye
08:41And they'd wave all the cities goodbye
08:44The hound pays, the sheep graze. I'm counting the boats in the bay. As they float, they seem to say, I'm counting the waves, I'm counting the waves.
09:03The men in the boats, they wave to their wives and say, I'm counting the hours, counting the hours, counting the hours in the day.
09:18I'm counting the gulls that sit on the waves, surrounding the boats in the bay. I'm counting the miles till we're there, where the sun and the rain and the snow fall on the seeds and make them grow.
09:36Fall on the rocks and make them crack into pebbles and into sand. Which is where I like to start.
09:50The hound pays, the sheep graze. I'm counting the boats in the bay. As they float, they seem to say, I'm counting the waves, I'm counting the waves.
10:05The men in the boats, they wave to their wives and say, I'm counting the hours, counting the hours, counting the hours in the day.
10:18I'm counting the hours till we're there, where the sun and the rain and the snow fall on the seeds and make them grow.
10:24Fall on the rocks and make them crack into pebbles and into sand.
10:30Which is where I like to stand.
10:42Fall on the rocks and make them fall.
10:44Fall on the rocks
10:45Which is where I like to stand.
10:50And there's a sunset brimming over the sky
11:12And there's a swallow teaching its young how to fly
11:21Upon high, see how fast the summer passes by
11:32And there's an oak leaf turning green into brown
11:43And there's a pine so proud of her evergreen gown
11:52Looking down, see how fast the winter comes around
12:03And there's a lot of flowers
12:33And there's a rain cloud passing over our heads
12:48And there's a cat on the doorstep waiting to be fed
12:56Milk and bread, it is done, and now it's time for bed
13:08I wish I had a window
13:26Over the bay
13:30And a black horse grazing on the green all day
13:37I wish I had a well to draw my water from
13:45And a warm lock fire for when the summer is gone
13:57I wish I had a window over the bay
14:05And a flock of white sheep to watch from where I lay
14:12I wish I had a little boat bobbing on the deep
14:19And a big wooden table all laid out for tea
14:26I wish I had a window over the bay
14:38And a dreamy-eyed cow to fill my milking pail
14:44I wish I had a cockerel to raise me at dawn
14:54And a little bed to sleep in when the curtains are drawn
15:02I wish I had a window over the bay
15:18Rose hip November
15:22Autumn I'll remember
15:26Cold landing at our door
15:30Catch one leaf
15:32And fortune will surround you evermore
15:36Wine tree very tall
15:48Waiting for snow to fall
15:52Mist hangs very still
15:56Good-bye dawn
15:58In castle moats around the sleeping hill
16:10Now, O Bible's heard
16:14Happy is the shepherd
16:18The shepherd
16:20Je Sellest

17:44Come wind, come rain, we're off again Our muddy boots plot down the lane
17:51The snow has snowed, now the grass has growed And it's time that we were on the road
17:58The mare is shod, the miles untrod Between us and the land of God
18:05We're on our way, and every day It's another ten miles and an apple of hay
18:13Hey-ho, the wind and the rain It's another ten miles and a pocket of grain
18:20Oh-la-la-la-la-la-da Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
18:27Come wind, come rain, we're off again Our muddy boots plot down the lane

19:48Travelling towards the Hebridean sun
19:57To build a white tower in our heads begun
20:03The grass knows, the hills know
20:09We all know spring has come
20:14The good mountain flows
20:19Each who fall brings us nearer the land
20:27Of peat and sea birds and silver sand
20:33The grass knows, the hills know
20:39We all know spring has come
20:45The good fountain flows
20:50The good mountain flows
20:55The good mountain flows
20:57The good mountain flows
20:59The good mountain flows
21:05The good mountain flows
21:07The good mountain flows
21:09The good mountain flows
21:11The good mountain flows
21:13The good mountain flows
21:15The good mountain flows
21:17The good mountain flows
21:19The Rainbow River
21:47There is a laughing stream down in a valley
21:51By a mountain that is pine tree tall
21:56The Rainbow River has a small boy
22:01Fishing with a worm
22:03And a jam jar by the waterfall
22:07Don't make a sound
22:11Don't disturb the ground
22:13The biggest fish you ever saw
22:17Is around
22:19And the Rainbow River
22:23Gives a rainbow fish
22:26As one small boy goes running proudly
22:29To his mother's call
22:33The stone-built farmhouse is a rough stone cottage
22:41Hiding close against the hillside
22:44Up a winding track
22:46The stone-built farmhouse has a fed farmer
22:53Wearing wooden shoes and building up a new haystack
22:59Run in the door
23:02Stand on the stone floor
23:05The oven opens
23:07There's the biggest loaf you ever saw
23:11And the stone-built farmhouse gives a good warm welcome
23:17As he sits down in his own chair
23:21With a Windsor back
23:24The magpie meadow is a glowing evening color
23:33Sun is setting quietly
23:35And the boy is tired
23:38The magpie meadow has a sparrow
23:43Hawk who hovers hanging on the wind
23:47Praying eagle hide
23:50Set by the lantern
23:53Watch as the years turn
23:57Slowly bringing truth for every child to learn
24:03And the magpie meadow darkens gently
24:08Blue now as the families sit
24:11Their faces lit by amber fire
24:20I love coming home from far cross
24:50The sea
24:51I pick my little wee wifey up
24:56And set her on my knee
24:59See how my eldest boy has grown
25:04Whilst I've been away
25:06See his abode
25:09I've whittled for thee
25:11Especially for thee
25:13I thought of you every day
25:17I love coming home from far across the sea
25:24And taking up my walking cane
25:29And passing through the trees
25:32I wander on the hillside
25:36The doggie at my heel
25:40The bragging waves
25:41The bragging waves
25:42The bragging waves
25:42So welcome to me
25:44Where have you been?
25:46We've missed you a great deal
25:50I love coming home from far across the sea
25:57I pick my little wee wifey up
26:02And set her on my knee
26:05La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
26:35And weary are we
26:37Bubble on kettle
26:38And make us all some tea
26:41Once there was a gypsy man
26:47Selling flowers from a baker's fan
26:50Best she pulled him round the town
26:54Pulled her wagon all old and brown
26:57Till one day we took her away
27:01Painted her wagon bright and gay
27:04Now she finds she's travelling north
27:08No more wandering back and forth
27:11Jog along best, hop along May
27:14Squeak along blue, it's a walk along day
27:18It's a long road and weary are we
27:21Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
27:26Once there was an Afghan hound
27:32Loved by no one and pushed around
27:35Tied up in a stable yard
27:39Tangled and timid and howling hard
27:42To her one day we took her away
27:46We called her Maegog
27:48Shorten to May
27:49She had her paw, made it sore
27:52Now she runs on three legs instead of four
27:55Jog along best, hop along May
27:59Squeak along blue, it's a walk along day
28:03It's a long road and weary are we
28:05Battle one kettle and make us all some tea
28:10A lifter dog in London town
28:15With one mirror and the other rear down
28:19The neighbours said he mustn't walk
28:22The only crossing he was in Hyde Rock
28:26Till one day we took him away
28:29Now blue bounces through fields of hay
28:32But he sits and squeals like a squeaky wheel
28:36When the wheels are rowing best, how he feels
28:40Jog along best, hop along May
28:43Squeak along blue, it's a walk along day
28:46It's a long road and weary are we
28:50Bubble on kettle and make us all some tea
28:54Little green wagon in the deep blue sky
29:05Wheels like dandelions passing by
29:08With a picture by Sam
29:10A painting by John and a bonnie black horse
29:14To lead you along
29:16Lucky green wagon, you were raggedy brown
29:20Now there is red at the hem of your gun
29:24And we brought you a pumpkin
29:26Brought you a moss
29:28We wished very hard and you gave us a house
29:33Jog along this, hop along May
29:38Squeak along me, it's a walk along day
29:42It's a long day, it's a walk along me
29:45I climbed the peaks of glass with you
30:01And walked a world of brass with you
30:06And gladly left the glaring streets
30:10To share a bed of grass with you
30:15You made the elder burn for me
30:22And caught the bird-felt thorn for me
30:26And through the ripening summer days
30:31You paid the white return for me
30:36A vi-famous muroch aorn amad
30:44O'lech yo'anach
30:47Shibhvyan lumach
30:50Asuritach
30:52Sangulas kilna klasach
30:57I rode the dark green deep with you
31:03And drove our dreams like sheep with you
31:08And now, my love, please let me cross
31:12Brown boundaries of sleep with you
31:27I love your eyes when you look away
31:41Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be
31:45When they're suddenly blue for a moment of time
31:50Then the color grows when you look at me
31:54I love your hands as a part of you
32:02As the writer who would just play staying still
32:07When you talk they move
32:09Painting what you say
32:11So I understand more than words can tell
32:16I love your hair in the dark
32:23It's soft in the light
32:25It moves red and green or brown
32:28While the time it takes for a night to pass
32:32And our lifetime grows as the day comes down
32:38I love you now
32:43As you don't love me
32:45I can't let you know
32:47You're too far away
32:49But I wonder now
32:51Just what did you see
32:53When you looked at me
32:55I looked at me
32:56And that love is sweet
33:00Oh, my God.
33:30Oh, my God.
34:00I'd like to rearrange your attitude to me.
34:08You say you just want peace and you never hurt anyone.
34:14You say the end before the beginning has ever begun.
34:23I would disturb your easy tranquility.
34:30I'd turn away the sad impossibility of your smile.
34:40I'd sit there in the sun with the things I like about you.
35:05I'd sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you.
35:13But most of all, I'd like you to be unaware.
35:23And I'd just wander away, trailing bomb leaves behind me.
35:29So you don't even know that I've been there.
35:32Winter is blue, living is gone.
35:56Summer just sleeping, in spring they'll go on.
36:02Our love is dead.
36:06Nothing but crying, love will not find even one more new morning.
36:16Why must I stay here?
36:22Rain comes, I'm sitting here, watching love moving away into yesterday.
36:31Winter is blue, everything's leaving.
36:38Winter is blue, everything's leaving.
36:43Fires are now burning and life has no reason.
36:50品 meets blue, everything's leaving.
37:07Why must I stay here? Rain comes, I'm sitting here, watching the moon moving away into yesterday.
37:21Rain comes, I'm sitting here, watching the moon moving away.
37:51Rain comes, I'm sitting here, watching the moon moving away.
38:21Watch to work and sing and die.
38:27I rode the dark green deep with you and drove our dreams like sheep with you.
38:35And now, my love, please let me cross, brown pounder is asleep with you.
38:48Look up the dark love and bend back the sky.
39:08We need a space in which to work and sing and die.
