MUSIC: Lyrics: Strange Waters, Small Mercies

Dark Star

Christopher Marshall/Cummings

Strangers everywhere ?????
They've been talking tongues with you
I've been ????
Through the ????? of you

  Take care beware
  Watch out for dangers everywhere
  I'll be riding high ?on? you
  And if you go far
  And face your dark star
  Always remember who you are
  ?May as well? take my love too
  From me to you

Strangers everywhere
Crawling back to you
It must be such a blessing
You can always change your view
Now as you reflect on how far you've come
Don't look back our worlds end has just begun

  Take care beware 
  Watch out for dangers everywhere
  I'll be riding high ?on? you 
  (Just the very thought of you)
  And if you go far
  And face your dark star
  Always remember who you are
  ?May as well? take my love too
  From me to you
  From me to you

?????????
Watch it burning
Watch the ???
?Fool for you too?

  Take care beware
  Watch out for dangers everywhere
  I'll be riding high ?on? you
  (Just the very thought of you)
  And if you go far
  And face your dark star
  Always remember who you are
  You may as well take my love
  From me to you
  From me to you

And if it's of any use to you
Take it it's yours
The Other Side Of The River

Cummings/Christopher Marshall - there are two recorded versions of this song. SC's version appears on his "Taken By Surprise" single.

You hurt me dear
In the fading light
I saw your golden ?bed?
You never realised

I wonder why
You seem so strange to me
When the battle's drawn
Give me the strength to flee

  Over the water, till the bank is drawing near
  On the other side
  On the other side of the river
  Our tears will flow, measure by measure
  All the bells will ring right across the land
  On the other side of the river
  On the other side

Now the storm has passed
And the ????? go
In the blessed hush
Before the daylight's ?????
I wonder why
We sleep in beds of stone
But if I asked you now
Can we just go home

Now peace has come
And the valley sleeps
But there's no rest here
At this ?barren? feast
I will be ???????
Free us from our fear
And in the darkest hour
Make it all come clear
Your Wildest Dreams

Christopher Marshall/Cummings/Barry Palmer

In your last dream
You wept so tenderly
Then the dawn came
And I saw your smile
Wild was the night
You tossed so fitfully
So I called you
Across the great divide

Then I woke to feel your breath at my side
But I'll never see your wildest dreams

Where do you go
Who do you meet my dear
Do you run in terror or in desire
Is it so real
That it ????? in a way
That my love never could

And you awake to find that all else is hollow
But before you awake
I only wish I could infiltrate your mind
I would ???? and I would turn it around
And I track down to the place you run and connect
All through the night

Sweet melody ????

I awake to find that
This was my dream
And I'll never know your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams
Your wildest dreams
Even Angels

Christopher Marshall/Cummings

I ??????? that ????
Just laying there marking time
In danger of doing damage to
??? keep it from what these hands might do
Alone alone
??? these hands to heal
I've been so strong but
Even angels feel it when they bleed

Jesus said I will comfort you
Jesus said ?we will fly away?
Sometimes it's hard to hear the music playing
As the choir ?????
And the angels ??????
I remember when
I was flying high
Was my pride too strong
I fell and broke these wings
I ????????? sins

So lead me not into temptation
Just to hear my justification
And ask me not to recite the ????????
Just let me back into the choir where ?????
?Rave on rave on?
Oh those tears so sweat
I've been so strong
Even angels feel it when they bleed
?Rave on rave on?
These tears so sweet
And it's been so long
But even angels feel it when they bleed
Small Mercies

Christopher Marshall/Cummings/Barry Palmer
