A Thousand Miles I saw you dancing last night On the roof of your house all alone And I felt your heart longing for a friend I saw you whirling beneath the soft rose That hung from an invisible stem in the sky And I begin to change into my best clothes Even though I live a thousand miles away And you may live a thousand miles more I will always hope in joining you I saw you dancing last night On the roof of your house all alone And I felt your heart longing for a friend And even after all this time The sun never says to the earth you owe me And this is the kind of friend you are, you are, you are Even though I live a thousand miles away And you may live a thousand miles more I will always hope in joining you Even though I live a thousand miles away And you may live a thousand miles more I will always hope in joining you

Pea Green Boat Standing there by a lake so silver and grey with the moon Full of harvest delight, Oh what a sight I could go sailing Then an Owl appears and tells me it’s fears Of the dark that is rising in dreams Oh silly thing, can’t you just bring A mouse for your supper Can you find the honey and the five pound note Left by Owl and Kitty in a Pea Green Boat Can you keep a secret that you’ll never tell Never whisper to the bees all hiding down the well I decided to tell to the little small Owl A story I knew of a Cat, Courage and Love Stars from above and boats that go sailing Can you find the honey and the five pound note Left by Owl and Kitty in a Pea Green Boat Can you keep a secret that you’ll never tell Never whisper to the bees all hiding down the well I decided to tell to the little small Owl A story I knew of a Cat, Courage and Love Stars from above and boats that go sailing And this boat of pea green Can never be seen By two adult eyes only one With the gaze of the sun Of child looking outwards of man and of woman Can you find the honey and the five pound note Left by Owl and Kitty in a Pea Green Boat Can you keep a secret that you’ll never tell Never whisper to the bees all hiding down the well Fly fly fly to the edge Don't be scared of the dark The night will protect you Try try try to remember The story I told Of love and a pea green boat Standing there by a lake so silver and grey with the moon Full of harvest delight, Oh what a sight I could go sailing

Tiptoe 04:40
Tiptoe Tiptoe, tiptoe round the house once more It is evening and you’d rather sleep Like a like a dancer on the stage She has a calling that won’t go away And the moon is full And she shines through the darkest night And they say that she has A name which is sacred Time to time to wake up little one The night is over and day has begun Off to off to off to work they go To earn a living it’s on with the show And the moon is fat And she shines through the darkest streets And the Owls they sing In the forests for all to see Dance, dance dance The deers are running free again So run, run run Through golden fields and forests Through golden fields And the moon is full And she shines through the darkest night And they say that she has A name which is sacred Dance, dance dance The deers are running free again So run, run run Through golden fields and forests Through golden fields And the moon is full And she shines through the darkest night And they say that she has A name which is sacred

Oh Dear 04:44
Oh Dear Oh Dear, I have started to Write songs about you This is crazy, you have eyes for somebody else This is crazy, and not so good for my health My heart is as fickle as the wind Be-cause it keeps on changing And you have made me, I guess that’s all I can do You have made me That is why I talk to you So watch out boys, she is an Ivy clinging vine That will wrap you around The Ash in the moonlight And you feel safe, like a baby in her arms And you feel safe, till she’s used all of her charms This is crazy, you have eyes for somebody else This is crazy, and not so good for my health
