When you came from across the sea
What were your dreams of a new life to be
Leaving home was such a big step
Hopeful of better things without regret
...
Here's to the books that wouldn't burn
And ideas that refused to be adjourned
To the laughter that is infectious
And a kiss that is forever precious
...
I couldn't sleep last night
These times had me feeling not right
There were images swirling round
And try as I might I couldn't shake being down
...
Do you want to see those days back again
See those missing friends
Is there someone you'd want to hug a little longer
Love a little stronger
...
I am driving my cab on a cold clear night
Looking for fares without luck tonight
Strangely the moon made things seem
As other worldly in its scheme
...
When I was younger
I felt the world was good
Tyrants were defeated
And things were as they should
...
Who will welcome you
Now your day is through
To greet you as you walk in
And see them all again
...
I'm just sitting here in the cold
Feeling oh so I old
Sipping at my beer
Thinking of someone dear
...
avelling Star
Here I go following my travelling star
That I can see on the horizon from afar
...
