7 Ships 03:23
The river blackens as it goes under a bridge My thoughts drift endlessly and blacken too I thought i heard a tree against my window ledge And as the cattle yawned i retired to my bed It's dark across the sky and seven ships of water Are sleeping at the bottom of the sea My boots fall off my toes and i fall to sleep Now i must draw the curtains from the rain I do not want to see a droplet again I want to see the hills before they separate And follow the paths toward my blooming fate It's dark across the sky and seven ships of water Are sleeping at the bottom of the sea My boots fall off my toes and i fall to sleep

Brown River 03:46
I dug out my final coppers like a rat scavenges corpses To throw down the wishing well, to the dank bottom it fell I cannot recollect what my mind was perched or standing upon But some thing squeezed through my lips, Letters I could not resist O am I such a lowly hand To in the rain have horses stand The breeze brought with it heather scent The brown river flows o'er my head Brown river flow over my head (The) bumblebees are losing their Tails and scatter quickly 'fore their nights Have them sleep upon the waves, have them sleep in circles (And) her chambers are soft and warm, and I will see them f'revermore In a shade of blurry brown, in a leg-limbed brevity And now the limp clouds turn away Here I stand I am not afraid Just as the prophecies said The brown river flows o'er my head Brown river flow over my head

Mirror 04:16
I left the door upon it's latch With the key dangling sleepily The swept floor, upon the thatch Sit the three strangling men in tweed, Seen from the deceptive hills And the moon with shadows stretched Out What seemed a frenzy was merely embracing, Sucked into the valleys for darkness to feed; Hot leaves a-melting, in the soup they're tasting, Look simple to many more barking steeds Hunger made them blood-boltered. Asunder beneath shade these blow - in's bolted To enter my home and my bed. To enter my home Green and awake only brushing with pride, She gives me a wink and with one I reply A newsagent's grimace with papers to sell Walked into the forest, fell under it's spell Esteem can make soldiers crushing and snide With snivelling stink and cat - cut eyes, A pew fails and breaks while a holy hymn tells, of The difference that lies between heaven and hell I stumbled under a tree And in sickness sucked the root. Someone plundered the sheen That once, licked the spoils

In-Creek 06:09
Allow me, to help you down And we will, retreat to your place of clouds In my small life i have seen, cold winds slighted by the trees Paths only walked by stray horses, hold the rolls of ghostly carriage wheels And when our feet land, my love. Like leaves in wind they will dance In my youth i walked these fields, the footprints in the heather remain. Whipped as i am as a slave, i pray the overgrowth blocks the rain The Rain

Winter 04:39
Here He Lies, Sleeping Eyes, Finding Parts of The Road To Lick, Crawling Forward Like A Dead Animal. 19 Years I've Been Running From Winter Golden Baby Is Resting In The Hills Like The Polyester (Which Touches The Small Of My Back) Rest In Me And Warm My Chest, I'll Stop The Rivers Freezing, Give Me A Date And Time ; Give Me A Date In Time. Tell Me A Secret In Blinks, Pace 12 Steps Forward and Back, Give Me A Date And Time Give Me A Date In Time
