Lady Grey

|
This house cannot become a home, without you here with me
I blind myself with lies, the truth I cannot see
Why’d you take it all away, we were destined to be together
I stood outside calling your name, the white dress that I wore
I still wear it all the time, it looks as good as before
Soon I’ll find you standing there, and one day we will have our forever
And I will wait for you my love, for one day you’ll be mine
Hand in hand we’ll show the world together we’ll be fine
But for now I walk this road, I do I long to say
And until I find a way to get to you, I’ll forever be Lady Gray
When they told me what you’d done, I said they were insane
For a man so deep in love could never be this way
But alas they told no lies, they said the groom to be had been taken
You stood there at the citadel each and every day
I came to visit you my love, oh so often you would say
How I can wait to be yours; oh my dear, was I mistaken?
And I will wait for you my love, for one day you’ll be mine
Hand in hand we’ll show the world together we’ll be fine
But for now I walk this road, I do I long to say
And until I find a way to get to you, I’ll forever be Lady Gray
If you see me standing there, I mean to you no harm
For my love is waiting here, he’s to take me by the arm
On the day I disappear, you will know that I’ve reached my forever
And I will wait for you my love, for one day you’ll be mine
Hand in hand we’ll show the world together we’ll be fine
But for now I walk this road, I do I long to say
And until I find a way to get to you, I’ll forever be Lady Gray

Out with the Old
05:14
|
|||
|
I spent my life doing my job
Carrying the folks across the lake
But things are changing to keep up with the times
And so it’s me they’ve chose to taken
These old steel rails, though they’ve seen a lot of years
Are still as trusty as can be
And even though the paint’s become a rusted memory
There’s stories in those missing sheets
You know I’ve tried to plead my case
But to them I’m just a waste of space
They can strip me down, but they can’t take me out of that town
I’ve left my mark upon this place and that won’t ever be erased
Down the river I’ve been sold
Cause it was in with the new and out with the old
It seemed like nothing more than just a moment
Before you knew it I was gone
And in my place, they claim, the finest thing around
But can he make it just as long
It’s an awful lonely feeling
When history has no meaning
They can strip me down, but they can’t take me out of that town
I’ve left my mark upon this place and that won’t ever be erased
Down the river I’ve been sold
Cause it was in with the new and out with the old
They say time’s the only healer
That down the road you’ll see it clearer
But despite the time that passes by
I’ll never know the reason why
I spend my life, doing my job
But I’m not who I used to be
And though they’ve taken me out of that town
I leave behind a legacy

Call Me if You're Sad
05:23
|
|||
|
When I first met you I was seventeen
And right away you caught my eye
You were something of a beauty queen
And I thought, well could I be the lucky guy?
When I got up the never to ask you out
And you said yes, well our lives changed without a doubt
We spent out high school years hand in hand
Taking on the world as one
And though our dreams looked like steady plan
A whole new battle had begun
And I told you that things would be alright
And one thing you could do before you lay down at night
Is call me if you’re sad, and I’ll be there right away
Though you may not realize, I am with you every day
And though you cannot see my face, you will always hear me say
Just know as one we’ll be alright, call me tonight
I left this world one sunny day
As you were headed off to school
When you sat down, right where your schoolbag lay
You found a dime beside your stool
The thoughts that crossed your mind you knew were true
But girl don’t cry, just think about what I said to you
Call me if you’re sad, and I’ll be there right away
Though you may not realize, I am with you every day
And though you cannot see my face, you will always hear me say
Just know as one we’ll be alright, call me tonight
They say heaven has a hotline you can call
When all hope is lost and the tears begin to fall
Send Him up your prayers and He’ll send one down to thee
And as you’d hoped, that prayer is me
Call me if you’re sad, and I’ll be there right away
Though you may not realize, I am with you every day
And though you cannot see my face, you will always hear me say
Just know as one we’ll be alright, call me tonight

Red Sky at Night
03:55
|
|||
|
I am a fisherman, my stories I have told, of when I fished upon the sea
I’ve been rocked by many waves, been driven by the tides, all just to feed my family
We set our traps at the coming of the day, and hauled them in at setting sun
And by the grace of the red fire in the sky, the devil’s work would be undone
My father was a fisherman, he spoke about the sea, how it had taken many souls
Off the Atlantic coast where the waters are so cold, many ships lie down below
He told me many tales of vessels out at dawn, who saw the red sun in the sky
They were lost at sea that day, never to be found, and many sailors left behind
The distant ships upon the water
All lost within that golden light
They try to make it to the home port once again
Guided safely by the red sky at night
The devil is a fisherman, he preys upon the tide, and sets fire to the morning sky
When sailors set their traps, the water starts to roll, and the ocean waves become unkind
But when that burning sun is in the sky at night, the sailors know they are alone
The devil has been cast away, if only for a while, so that the ships can travel home
The distant ships upon the water
All lost within that golden light
They try to make it to the home port once again
Guided safely by the red sky at night

I Made it Home
04:08
|
|||
|
I’ve been walking down the road for so long know
Trying to find the place where I belong
And when I feel like giving up, I ask myself
Do I have what it takes to carry on?
I took advice I didn’t ask for
Instead of listening to the voices in my head
And the places that it’s taken me have opened up my eyes
I’m glad I listened to what they said
Cause here and now, it all makes sense, it’s all so clear
Why the road led me here
A fire burns within me, it flickers like an ember in my soul
Cause for the first time in my life, I made it home
When you finally meet the people that you longed for
It makes the hurt of waiting go away
The beauty of this newfound love’s beyond what words can say
To think I almost didn’t stay
And now we walk along this road together
The future just beyond what we can see
No matter where it takes us, I’ll always think of you
Will you think of me?
Cause here and now, it all makes sense, it’s all so clear
Why the road led me here
A fire burns within me, it flickers like an ember in my soul
Cause for the first time in my life, I made it home
It all makes sense, it’s all so clear
Why the road led me here
A fire burns within me, it flickers like an ember in my soul
Cause for the first time in my life, I made it home
I’ve been walking down this road for so long know
And I’ve finally found the place that I belong

Lovin' You
04:53
|
|||
|
There’s something about you girl that’s got me looking your way
You’ve got my heart pounding as I try and think of what to say
Caught in the motions with no signs of slowing down
I’ve been helpless since you came around
There’s something about you girl that keeps me up at night
I can’t find the reason for these feelings that I can’t fight
All it took was one hello before you caught my eye
And now you’ve got me praying that I won’t sever see goodbye
Make me a promise, make it one that you’ll keep
That I’ll always be the one to sweep you off your feet
And I’ll make it easy for you to love me too
Cause for the rest of my life, I’ll always be, lovin’ you
There’s something about you girl that’s got me wanting more
Cause the rest of my life with you is what I’m looking for
I’ve made up my mind, I’ve spoken to God above
And I’ve never been so sure; baby this is love
Make me a promise, make it one that you’ll keep
That I’ll always be the one to sweep you off your feet
And I’ll make it easy for you to love me too
Cause for the rest of my life, I’ll always be, lovin’ you
Make me a promise, make it one that you’ll keep
That I’ll always be the one to sweep you off your feet
And I’ll make it easy for you to say I do
Cause for the rest of my life, I’ll always be, lovin’ you
Lovin’ you

Come to Cape Breton
03:58
|
|||
|
I have travelled this country, my home and native land
From the shores of Nova Scotia to the western promise land
I have driven every roadway, sailed on every sea
But there’s only one place that I wanna be
Come to Cape Breton with me
Come to Cape Breton with me
Come for the music and stay for the sea
Come to Cape Breton with me
There are miles and miles of shoreline, of mountains and of streams
Where the younger generations had to leave to chase their dreams
The people are so wholesome, they always touch your soul
When I’m feeling down it’s where I wanna go
In the autumn time you’ll see it; her beauty knows no bounds
In the wintertime she’s sleeping ‘til the frost comes from the ground
Then spring it ends her slumber, the sun begins to shine
On another beautiful Cape Breton summertime
Come to Cape Breton with me
Come to Cape Breton with me
Come for the music and stay for the sea
Come to Cape Breton with me
Come for the music and stay for the sea
Come to Cape Breton with me

The Sailors of Barra
05:22
|
|||
|
There’s a ship that is crossing the ocean tonight
With some forty-six crew and their cargo
With a load of wild horses to Britain they’ll go
But will fate let them go home once more?
Of the crew on the vessel, five men stood alone
They traveled the world but called Barra their home
Campbell, MacKinnon, MacLean, and MacNeil
The names that were left there that morn
The wind it will blow and the sea it will roll
The ships will take off from the shore
The men from the isle of Barra that came
Would travel to Scotland no more
With the passage of time, we remember
With a monument here in our home
The blast at the bay that led young lives astray, took those young sailors away
But still we remember today
At Halifax harbour, the vessel stood still
As the men loaded horses and grains from the mill
And down in the distance, two ships on one course
Were headed where tragedy lay
The harbour was busy, not one heard a sound
The ships that had struck had begun to go down
And without any signs but a flickering light
A blast had rung out from the bay
The wind it will blow and the sea it will roll
The ships will take off from the shore
The men from the isle of Barra that came
Would travel to Scotland no more
With the passage of time, we remember
With a monument here in our home
The blast at the bay that led young lives astray, took those young sailors away
But still we remember today
There’s a ship that is crossing the ocean tonight
The Halifax wind in her sails
With a hold full of cargo, she’ll head home again
And take with her the Barramen’s tales
The wind it will blow and the sea it will roll
The ships will take off from the shore
The men from the isle of Barra that came
Would travel to Scotland no more
With the passage of time, we remember
With a monument here in our home
The blast at the bay that led young lives astray, took those young sailors away
But still we remember today

The Miner
04:53
|
|||
|
We wake up before the dawn
Drink our coffee black like the smoke that fills our lungs
Spend a lifetime down below
Just to make an honest pay
In this part of the world, it’s the only way
And the only thing we’ll ever know
I followed close behind
All the other men who walked that line
And traded in their days
For a lifetime in the ground
Where the sun and moon can’t go, and the only sound
Is the sound of old men drilling away
My mother says her rosary
And prays the wicked mine won’t swallow me
But my father understands
Because he’s digging in that hole
Just like his only son, and all the men we know
At the mercy of the good Lord’s hand
These days I find it hard to breathe
My lungs are weak; my eyes can hardly see
Inside I know the end is nigh
But I’m only twenty-five
Lying in this bed, fighting to stay alive
But this is where all miners come to die
We woke up before the dawn
Drank our coffee black like the smoke that filled our lungs
Spent a few short years below
And now we’re lying in the ground
Where the sun and moon can’t go, and there is no sound
This is all we’ll ever know

Cabin Made for Two
04:25
|
|||
|
Another early morning, grab a coffee and we go
Three hundred miles seems so long when you’re only five years old
We’ve made the trip so many times, you could drive it with your eyes closed
In a few more hours, we’ll be home again, just to do it all tomorrow
The wheels keep spinning around, as we’re rolling down the highway, headed for the next place we must go
The radio is on, and truckers fill the airways, with stories of the time spent on the road
That’s what I remember when I think about the times, I traveled round with you
When I close my eyes, I see me and you in that cabin made for two
We load up at the station, I can smell the salty air
This place is so familiar; it’s my favourite thing we share
With a quick stop at the country store, we’ll be headed for the highway
I’d wish for days like these to never end; that’s if I had it my way
The wheels keep spinning around, as we’re rolling down the highway, headed for the next place we must go
The radio is on, and truckers fill the airways, with stories of the time spent on the road
That’s what I remember when I think about the times, I traveled round with you
When I close my eyes, I see me and you in that cabin made for two
The wheels keep spinning around, as we’re rolling down the highway, headed for the next place we must go
The radio is on, and truckers fill the airways, with stories of the time spent on the road
That’s what I remember when I think about the times, I traveled round with you
When I close my eyes, I see me and you in that cabin made for two
When I close my eyes, I see me and you in that cabin made for two

The One
05:10
|
|||
|
As I turn into your drive, the ending of the night
We embrace, say our goodbyes, you turn out the porchlight
As I step into my car, just hanging by a thread
A feeling sets in deep inside, a tear is softly shed
And as I’m driving down this dark and lonely road
I realize you’re the only love I’ve ever known
You make me smile when there’s trouble in my soul
And when the tears won’t dry, you give me arms to hold
You’re the sun that starts my day, and the stars that shine at night
And baby you’re the reason why loving feels right
So darling know before the day is done
In my eyes you’ll always be the one
Many hearts go down this road, searching in the dark
For a love that’s passed them by, for a brand-new start
One by one they cross the line, give their hearts away
But in my mind, I thought that I would never see the day
Girl, you pushed the clouds away and finally made me see
That I could love someone this way, that you heart belongs to me
You make me smile when there’s trouble in my soul
And when the tears won’t dry, you give me arms to hold
You’re the sun that starts my day, and the stars that shine at night
And baby you’re the reason why loving feels right
So darling know before the day is done
In my eyes you’ll always be the one
My life’s a storybook, my thoughts on every line
You gave that book a chance and made your story mine
And when they read between the lines, they all will see
This is a story about you and me
You make me smile when there’s trouble in my soul
And when the tears won’t dry, you give me arms to hold
You’re the sun that starts my day, and the stars that shine at night
And baby you’re the reason why loving feels right
So darling know before the day is done
In my eyes you’ll always be the one
