Acoustically Yours
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Under the shelter of the old milky way
On a beautiful star studded night
I realise
I am miniscule
When ever I gaze on that sight
And I wish that you could play me a tune
And we could make music till dawn

Accompany me, through some wild diddle diddle dee
And I'll be acoustically yours

Let's make us a wish here together we'll stand
Through the vastness of spaces and time
We can be friends' oh we can be friends
Stripped down with nothing to hide
And maybe you could play me a tune
And we could make music till dawn

Accompany me, through some wild diddle diddle dee
And I'll be acoustically yours

If everyone who lived on this earth
Lit a torch at the very same time
Together we'd make like a new milky way
Together its how we will shine
Aah come on y'all and sing us a song
We could make music till dawn

Accompany me, through some wild diddle diddle dee
And I'll be acoustically yours

Accompany me, through some wild diddle diddle dee
And I'll be acoustically yours

Accompany me, through some wild diddle diddle dee
And I'll be acoustically yours

I'll See You Again
(© Hazel O'Connor
Cormac De Barra)

In my heart, in my soul
In my darkest hours
Through rivers deep
Lonely roads over mountain towers
Through the driving rain and the sunlit plains
It's you I embrace
From the echo on the wind
Its your song they sing

It says
I'll see you again
I'll see you again

Another door, another hall
Another lonely room
I light a candle to your name
Hoping to lift the gloom
I run my fingers through your hair
And your almost there
As play through your hair
And whatever comes my way
I'll survive siné

And
I'll see you again
I'll see you again

Through the driving rain and the sunlit plains
It's you I embrace
And whatever comes way
I'll survive siné

I said
I'll see you again
I said
I'll see you again
And
I'll see you again
I'll see you again

Hidden
(© Hazel O'Connor
Mike Bennett)

I walked the path the winding road
That told me things that shouldn't be told
I climbed the rock of ages old
And I saw

Hearts and souls of humanity
Earth and the air
The sky and the sea
Left all their words
That were passed on for free

Tell me how were they hidden
How were they hidden
How how
How were they hidden so long

You talk in awe of wonders and fears
And listen intently but never quite hear
You sold the rock of ages old
And you cry

Hearts and souls of humanity
The earth and the air
The sky and the sea
Began with the word
That was passed on for free

Tell me how were they hidden
How were they hidden
How how
How were they hidden so long

How were they hidden so long
How were they hidden so long
How were they hidden so long
How were they hidden so long
Been so long

I walked the path the winding road
That told me things that shouldn't be told
I climbed the rock of ages old
And you cried

Hearts and souls of humanity
Earth and the air
The sky and the sea
Left all their words
That were passed on for free

Tell me
How were they hidden
How were they hidden
How how
How were they hidden so long

Perfect Days
(© Hazel O'Connor

Look out over the ocean
See what you can see
Another land, another people
Essentially like you and me
And all these lives had their moments
Been the buildings blocks of change
Recognise each circumstance
We're family not a bloody race

Get ready cause
Here come the time
Here come the place
Here come the moment
Here come the perfect days

Each and every creature
Has it's true and rightful place
We are not the overlords
We are links upon the chain
And each and every creature
Treasures in their heyday
Nobody can overlord
We're sharing, there's a world
And there's the space

Get ready
Here come the time
Here come the place
Here come the moment
Here come the perfect days
Get ready

Now if you've travelled far
And if you've travelled worldwide
And you get to speak another lingo
Then your online, your online oh yeah
They say knowledge
It is power
Not to be abused
Use it for a little understanding
Gotta use that God given tool

Get ready cause
Here come the time
Here come the place
Here come the moment
Here come the perfect days
Get ready

Who Will Care
(© Hazel O'Connor)

Did she wake up cold and alone
Hoping someone might phone
Did she crawl out of bed, scratch her head
Look in the mirror and think she was dead

Who will care
Who will care

Did she thrown on her clothes
And walk slowly to the door
Go into town hoping to score
Did she find her a man
He'd give her all he can
And when that's not enough
Then life starts to get tough

Who will care
Who will care

Did she die in the cold
Was she scared to be old
Nobody knows where and old loner goes
At the end of the line

And on one grey day
Some children at play
Saw her still body
Thought it was funny
Oh look at that lady on the ground fast asleep
Nobody knew her so nobody weeps

Who will care
Who will care

Did she die in the cold
Was she scared to be old
Nobody knows where and old loner goes
At the end of the line

Did she wake up cold and alone
Hoping someone might phone
Did she fall out of bed, scratch her head
Look in the mirror and know she was dead

Who will care

Strong
(© Hazel O'Connor
Gavin Barrett)

Somebody told me
Your spirit had gone
Worn down by a cynical world
Had it stolen your clothes

Somebody told me you know, you know
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong

And I wish I was close
I would wrap my lovin' arms around you
But I'm not and all I've got
Are my platitudes, songs and the
Hopes that you'll make it through

Somebody told me you know
Don't you know
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong

I tried to remember
Was such a long time ago
When we were forever
You said we'd always gone on
Being stronger and stronger
And strong

Stronger and strong

Somebody told me
Your spirit had gone
But I don't believe it's true
Cause it was you
Who said the spirit goes on and on and on

Somebody told me it was you - you know
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong

Yeah yeah it will make you so strong
It will make you so strong
You'll be stronger than strong

Lovable

Isn't it good when you
Finally meet one who
Brightens your world
With their view

Maybe there's hope for me
Stop watching junk tv
I'm born again
Human being

Many lives I've lived before
Many kinds of armour
There's many loves
And many hurts
They make my heart grow harder
But...

(Chorus)
You make me feel
Like I was lovable
You make feel
Like I was the only woman in the whole wide world
And it was beautiful
You make me feel
Like I was the only woman in the whole wide world

Come in and keep me warm
Shelter me from the storm
Billy will sing us a song
Then maybe we could dance
Take us a tiny chance
See we have a romance

Many times I've blown my moments
Moments heaven sent
With many tries
And many fails
I thought my strength was spent
Then...

(Chorus)

Theres many live's I've lived before
There's many kinds of harm here
There's many hopes
And many dreams
They make your heart grow stronger
And...

(Chorus x 2)

Time After Time

Time after time I will follow you
I lay myself on the line
I'd always try for you

Because you
You are my inspiration
You
You are my destination that's why
Time after time I choose you

Night after night I have dreamed of you
I see your smile, see your face
How could I ever hide from you

Because you
You are my inspiration
You
You are my destination that's why
Time after time I choose you

Time after time I'll choose you, time after time
Time after time I'll choose you, time after time

Time after time I will follow you
I'll lay myself on the line
I'd even die for you

Because you
You are my inspiration
You
You are my destination that's why
Time after time I choose you

Time after time I choose you, time after time
Time after time I choose you, time after time

Because you
You are my inspiration
You
You are my destination that's why
Time after time I choose you

Time after time I'll choose you, time after time
Time after time I'll choose you, time after time

Tell Me Why
(© Hazel O'Connor
Major Black)

Tell me why, why oh why
When a man wants a woman
Does he give her his best
Does he try to impress
All the things he will do
For her why
When that man gets that woman
Does he tend to neglect her
Does he tend to forget all the things, all the things
That he said
To get her
All the promises that he made
Gonna lose what he gained
Cause the time has come for things to change
You gotta change

Tell me why, why oh why
When a woman wants a man
Does she give him her best
Does she try to impress
All the things she will do
For him why
When that woman gets that man
Does she give him her heart
Does she then fall apart
When he's late start to hate
All those long
Lonely nights alone
When the lovin' feeling has gone
When her homes not a home
When the time has come for things to change
You gotta change

And why does a woman
Why does a man
Turn something special
Into a battle ground
When they both know
What they're fighting
is just a losing battle
Against the power of love
Of which nobody ever wins

Tell me why, why oh why
When a man loves a woman
Why can't he change
Just rearrange all the things
That he does to hurt her why
When a woman gets a man
Why can't she forgive him
Cause time has come for things to change
You gotta change

Cause time has come for things to change
Gotta change
Gotta change
Gotta change
Gotta change

End Of My Days
(© Hazel O'Connor
Cormac De Barra)

I remember our youth as we played in the snow
Our foot steps be melting the places we'd go
When the day was done
We'd off and run
Turn round and say
Tis here I'll be waiting at the end of my days

Now the seasons have moved on
And we've both gone our ways
And I savour the moments
And I rage at my fate
Did we lose our way
One fine day
Forgot to say
Tis here I'll be waiting at the end of my days

I have travelled my own road
Now the end does come near
In the gathering darkness
Like a beacon you appear
And we say hello
Like we'd always know
That's where we'll be
Tis here I'll be waiting at the end of my days

Tis here I'll be waiting at the end of my days
Tis here I'll be waiting at the end of my days

If Only
(© Hazel O'Connor)

What do you do when they turn on the light?
You guard your heart, so they steal your sight
You reach out in blindness, touch the alone
Its icicle fingers chill you to the bone

What do you do when the cat gets ya tongue?
No way to tell it's all going wrong
Mouth out the words on the telephone
Nobody answers, nobody's home...

(Chorus)
What's done has been done, and I won't be the one
Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to ''If only''
No, I'll stand up again and I'll run
I'll jump up till I touch the sun
Because I won't be the one to be bound
By the sound of ''If only, if only, if only''

Well, I reach out in blindness now, but what do I care?
I'll walk into walls and I'll stumble downstairs
I'll laugh like a fishwife, I'll cry like a clown
Up is the only way to go when you're down

When I reach a mountain top, then I start to climb
I'll walk on the water, I'll turn water to wine
Hope is the one thing we got on our side
Hope can be salvaged when all else has died

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Fear Of Flying
(© Hazel O'Connor
Gavin Barrett)

Sometimes I've been afraid of flying
Then I'd wish that was lying in my home
Head hidden under the bed clothes
These days are few and far between now
I try hard to memorise words my mum said to me
Life ain't rehearsal its real so show no fear

And you could, laugh out loud, loud and proud
Sing and dance
Might only get one chance

Jump and run, have your fun
Live and learn
And learn to love yourself

And be brave of heart
And try to be kind
Let love shine, and don't be afraid to fly

Sometimes life can be so trying
It's no use in sitting down and crying on my own
All alone in the blue room
Come on come out and to play like we were
Back then we'd memorise words my mum said to me
Life ain't rehearsal its real
So show no fear

And you could, laugh out loud, loud and proud
Sing and dance
Might only get one chance

Jump and run, have your fun
Live and learn
And learn to love yourself

And be brave of heart
And try to be kind
Let love shine, and don't be afraid to fly

Life is but a stage
And all the people merely players on it
Each one in their time
Has many entrances and many exits
Each in our time
Play many parts
Each in our time
Play many parts

You could, laugh out loud, loud and proud
Sing and dance
You might only get
You might only get
One chance

Jump and run, have your fun
Live and learn
And learn to love
You gotta learn to love yourself

Laugh out loud,loud and proud
Sing and dance
You might only get
You might only get
One chance

Jump and run, have your fun
Live and learn, and don't be afraid to fly
