Treading Water I have no answer to the question you raise I have no recollection of those distant days A singer looking for a song A writer who got it wrong A showman with nothing to show A traveller with nowhere to go Treading water, stealing time A poet looking for a rhyme A drum beat out of time A preacher with now soul The rock that just won't roll Treading water, stealing time

The Waning Moon It's all about the writers and the tales they tell It's all about the hopes that rest in the wishing-well It's all about the roll of the spheres and the song they sing It's all about the givers and the gift they bring It's written in the stars, what will be will be It's all about mind over matter, staying strong It's about the dreams that shatter when it all goes wrong It's all about the waning moon and the rising sun It's all about the tears we cry when we lose someone It's written in the stars, what will be will be Mind over matter

Rolling With The Waves You got to ride your luck sometimes Like a wild pony And when the hard times come along You got to hold fast You got to take your chances When they come your way Good times don't come easy Don't let them fly away You got to feel it Let 'em know you believe it If you've got something to say Say it like you mean it You got to roll with the waves Turn with the tide Bend when the wind blows You've got nothing to hide

Looking For Sunshine Chasing rainbows, and that crock of gold A story never written, a tale untold You went looking for that brave new world You searched in vain You looked for sunshine, you found rain No time for hesitation, no time to lose No time for playing games, gotta make a move You went looking for the high life You searched in vain You looked for sunshine, you found rain

about

Something I've had in mind for many years, going way back to my very happy days with Island Records. That Caribbean groove touched my heart and I had the pleasure of being surrounded by the stuff in the company of many of the lovely folk who made it. Thanks to the crew who joined me on the record with a big nod in the direction of Drew Jarvie and the Turra Horns. Cheers x
