1. Will You Go, Lassie, Go 2. Times

Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go

And we’ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go

I will build my love a tower
Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go lassie go

If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go

Landscape of time
Landscape I walked thru
Road in the light
Ev’ry move towards true feelings
River of emotion, reaching out for you
Like birds over the cold land of the northern
Setting sail for the heart

Thru all those years
Thru all the fears
Join me
And believe I colour the days
I colour the night
Poetry and dreams
I cover the ways
Don’t be so shy

But feel, time to let yourself go
Spirits rising high
Meet you somewhere
On the road of desire
3. Speaking With The Angel 5. The Garden Valley
He don’t know how to lie
Or undermine you
He don't know how to steal
How to deal or deceive
So leave him alone, set him free
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
That only he can see

You say he's so helpless
Well what about you
You don't pull the strings
Don't you know anything
Just leave him alone, let him be
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
That only he can see

Would you teach him about heaven
Would you show him how to love the earth
Would you poison him with prejudice
From the moment of his birth
He in the name of love
He in the blood of the lamb
He that never lays blame
He don't even know his name
Just leave him alone, let him be
'Cause he's speaking with the angel
Speaking with the angel
The very one that spoke to you and me

Oh do you remember?



This is really not my home
Where are you, my lovely Jenny?
I'm afraid and all alone
There is no peace for me

I'm sitting in the stranger's room
Playing at the stranger's table
Shining empty like the moon
There’s no peace for me

But in the darkness struggle cold
I think about a garden valley
Gentle as the leaves unfold
Singing out along the Tay
Distant and so far away
There is no peace for me

I'm blinded by your city lights
I wander through these fearful places
The colours fade to black and white
There is no peace for me

These are not the friends I know
These are not their smiling faces
A desert that no one should know
There is no peace for me

Now I know and feel it well
The immigrant's deep sunken feeling
Standing at the gates of hell
There is no peace for me

Burned out by their master's greed
Cruel exile, transportation
Robbed of every love and need
There is no peace for me

6. Black Is The Colour

7. The Blantyre Explosion
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and such gentle hands
Oh I love the ground whereon she stands

I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes
I wish the day it soon would come
When she and I can be as one

I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep
For satisfied I never can be
I write her a letter, just a few short lines
And I suffer death oh a thousand times



By Clyde's bonnie banks as I slowly did wander
Among the pit heaps as the evening grew nigh
I spied a young woman all dressed in black mourning
Weeping and wailing with many a sigh

I stepped up beside her and gently addressed her
Would you tell, would you talk about the cause of your pain
Weeping and wailing at last she did answer
Johnny Murphy, kind sir, is my true lovers name

Twenty-one years of age full of youth and good looking
To work down the mine of high Blantyre he came
Our wedding was fixed all the guests were invited
That calm summer's evening my Johnny was slain

The explosion was heard by the women and children
With pale anxious faces they ran to the mine
When the news was made known all the hills rang with their mourning
Three hundred and ten Scottish miners were slain

Mothers and daughters and sweethearts and lovers
The Blantyre explosion you’ll never forget
And all you good people who hear my sad story
Remember the miners who’re lying to their rest

9. The Verdant Braes Of Screen / Fisherman's 10. No Frontiers

As I roved out one evening fair
By the verdant braes of Screen
I set my back to a hawthorn tree
To view the sun in the west country
The dew on the forest green

A lad I spied by our burn side
And a maiden on his knee
And he was dark as the berry brown red
And she all way and worn to see
All way and worn was she

Oh sit you down on the grass, he said
On the dewy grass so green
For the wee birds all have come and gone
Since I’ve my true love seen, he said
Since I’ve my true love seen

Then I’ll not sit on the grass, she said
Nor be a lover of thine
For I hear you have another one
And your heart’s no longer mine, she said
And your heart’s no longer mine

And I’ll not heed what an old man says
For his days are well nigh done
And I’ll not heed what the young man says
For he’s fair for many’s the one, she said
For he’s fair for many’s the one

But I will climb a high, high tree
And rob a wild bird’s nest
And back I’ll bring whatever I do find
To the arms that I love the best, she said
To the arms that I love the best

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
Then your heart is Amelia dying to fly

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the dead men in self addressed crates

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night

In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
And heaven has its way
When all will harmonise
And know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers ...
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
