Hard & Heavy Rain

Heavy as a rock anchored to the ground
Steady as a sky piercing through the cloud
I’m coming down like a hard and heavy rain
Rolling down the hills to the sea
Holding up the weight of the mountain
Trying my best to be free
It takes a lot of strength to be free
Standing tall my feet don’t touch the ground
What we had lost has now been refound
I’m coming down like a hard and heavy rain
Rolling down the hills to the sea
Holding up the weight of the mountain
Trying my best to be free
It takes a lot of strength to be free
There was a lull in the passing of life
Keeping you from moving
Now the wheels are rolling once more
Now you’re slowly learning
And I’m coming down like a hard and heavy rain
Rolling down the hills to the sea
Holding up the weight of the mountain
Trying my best to be free
It takes a lot of strength to be free

Five ‘o’ clock in the morning
The light has closed its eyes
The city can’t stop itself from yawning
The cars don’t sleep tonight
And the moonlight blankets all you see
Who can tell where they’re going
To find true release
So show me the way to the next sunrise
I’ll open my eyes
Show me the way to the next sunrise
I’ll open my eyes
And I’ll see you
Five ‘o’ clock in the morning
And I can’t get no sleep
I close my eyes as the day is dawning
To find me some peace
And the sunlight shines across my face
So I resolve to keep on going
Until I reach that place
So show me the way to the next sunrise
I’ll open my eyes
Show me the way to the next sunrise
I’ll open my eyes
And I’ll see you
So show me the way to the next sunrise
I’ll open my eyes
Show me the way to the next sunrise
I’ll open my eyes
And I’ll see you

You Don't Talk For Me
03:58
|
|||
|
You try to hit the target
But every time you miss
You don’t even know what time of day it is
You don’t talk for me
You may think you have it
Bang on the mark
But let me take you in,
In from the dark
You don’t talk for me
You’re the face on a campaign poster
A bottle on the shelf
The one who thinks he knows me better than I know myself
You don’t talk for me
I’m trying to tell you something
That you could take on board
But you may just be too righteous, blinded
Self assured
You stand up on your soapbox
Preachin’ us to hell
While firing off your guns-
What does that tell me?
That you don’t talk for me
You’re the one who holds us paralysed
With his words and his wit
The one who needs to feed off of his own bullshit
You don’t talk for me
You’re the voice of a generation
An undisputed king
Graffiti on the wall that doesn’t say anything
You don’t talk for me
I’m trying to tell you something
That you could take on board
But you may just be too righteous, blinded
Self assured

I’d like to light a candle in your soul
Take you from darkness
Into light
Make the wrongful in your heart right
I’d like to light a candle in your mirror
Show you what I see
When you look at me
The beauty in your soul
Light, blinding light
Gives you direction in your life
Light, blinding light
Will take you through the darkness
Tonight
I’d like to light a candle in your mind
To fill you with a spark
A flash of inspiration
Return what you have done for me
You don’t have to understand
Everything in life
It doesn’t matter when
You’ve got light
Light, blinding light
Gives you direction in your life
Light, blinding light
Will take you through the darkness
Tonight

The Door

Don’t open that door
You never liked what you saw there before
Just close your eyes
And away goes all the things that you despise
You’ve been waiting so long
Don’t think that you’re too far gone
Don’t walk away
You never know what people might say
Just take your time
And soon enough you’ll be walking down the line
You’ve been waiting so long
Don’t think that you’re too far gone

Gather Round

Gather round, take a listen
You don’t know what you might be missing
Hard to know if it’s wrong or it’s right
But we’re gonna rip up this joint tonight
There’s some that take it, some that won’t
But if you want to be a passenger on this here boat
Then you better get your shit together
Or you’ll have no chance of keeping afloat
Well you might be thinking that you’ve had enough
That’s just because you’ve had the wrong stuff
I don’t know that it ‘aint so tough
If you just let me play now mamma with your love
Now that things are hottin’ up
Let me drink from your lovin’ cup
Aint’ no use in tryin’ to fight it no more
There’s nobody here that’s keeping score
Well you might be thinking that you’ve had enough
That’s just because you’ve had the wrong stuff
I don’t know that it ‘aint so tough
If you just let me play now mamma with your love
Gather round, take a listen
You don’t know what you might be missing

Well I wanted to write you a letter
But instead I wrote you a song
I was searching for some new colour
That I could base my picture on
I wanted to take something old
And somehow make it new
Find some life in those tired old words
That could make them feel renewed
I had to say something new
Create a special riff
Mine a new source
That I could make my statement with
I want to make you feel
Like you have never heard
Words we say almost every day
Words we repeat almost every single day
You inspire in me something
There are some things in this world
That words cannot express
We find ourselves sometimes
Lost in that hopelessness
So I’ll not give you words
They’re sometimes taken wrong
Instead I’ll give you this;
I will give you my song
For you to hum along
You inspire in me something
Well I wanted to write you a letter
But instead I wrote you a song
I was searching for some new colour
That I could base my picture on

Enlightenment

I’ve never been around the world
But I would love to see what’s out there
I’ve barely been inside your mind
But I would love to see what’s in there
I’m a long way
From enlightenment
And I’ve to get through
Somehow
So many good people in this world
I have yet to meet
Poets, prophets and virtuous ones
Maybe they could all share something
I’m a long way
From enlightenment
And I’ve to get through
Somehow
Well a man is not an island unto himself
There is a branch between us all
And if we keep on planting seeds
We’ll find the space where leaves fall
A man is not an island unto himself
There is a branch between us
I’m a long way
From enlightenment
And I’ve to get through
Somehow

Steve Crawford & Spider MacKenzie Aberdeen, UK

Bold and eloquent songwriting, and delivery, often reminiscent of the classic ‘70s singer/songwriters, combines with acoustic guitar, wailing and weeping virtuoso harmonica and mellifluous vocals to complete this dynamic duo ... more
