Strange face, with your eyes
So pale and sincere.
Underneath you know well
You have nothing to fear.
For the dreams that came to you when so young
Told of a life
Where spring is sprung.
You would seem so frail
In the cold of the night
When the armies of emotion
Go out to fight.
But while the earth sinks to its grave
You sail to the sky
On the crest of a wave.
So forget this cruel world
Where I belong
I'll just sit and wait
And sing my song.
And if one day you should see me in the crowd
Lend a hand and lift me
To your place in the cloud.

Who has dressed you in strange clothes of sand
Who has taken you far from my land
Who has said that my sayings were wrong
And who will say that I stayed much too long?
Clothes of sand have covered yor face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me.
Does it now seem worth all the colour of skies
To see the earth through painted eyes
To look through panes of shaded glass
See the stains of winter's grass.
Can you now return to from where you came
Try to burn your changing name
Or with silver spoons and coloured light
Will you worship moons in winter's night.
Clothes of sand have covered your face
Given you meaning but taken my place
So make your way on down to the sea
Something has taken you so far from me.

Cocaine Blues
(Luke Jordan)
Come, my baby
Dressed in white
Hey, baby
Won't you stay the night
Cocaine
All around my brain
Come, my baby
Dressed in red
Hey, baby
Won't you come to bed
Cocaine
All around my brain
Hey, baby
Won't you please come quick
This old cocaine
Is making me sick
Cocaine
All around my brain
Come, my baby
Dressed in green
Hey, baby
Can't be seen
Cocaine
All around my brain
Hey, baby
Won't you please come quick
This old cocaine
Is making me sick
Cocaine
All around my brain
Cocaine
All around my brain

Courting Blues
(Bert Jansch)
Green are your eyes
In the morning, when you rise
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will not know
Love can be broken
Though no words are spoken
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will not know
Love, don't cry
I`ll never try
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will not know
Green are your eyes
In the morning, when you rise
Don't you be afraid to lie
By me, my love
Your father will be told someday
About our wedding day(?)
