Warmer For The Spark/ The Songs Of Jimmy Mac Carthy [compilation] (2000) by Various Artists (보컬) on maniadb.com

If life is a river and your heart is a boat
And just like a water baby, baby born to float
And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high
Then your heart is Amelia dying to fly
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

And if life is a bar room in which we must wait
'Round the man with his fingers on the ivory gates
Where we sing until dawn of our fears and our fates
And we stack all the deadmen in self addressed crates
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day
When fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

If your life is a rough bed of brambles and nails
And your spirit's a slave to man's whips and man's jails
Where you thirst and you hunger for justice and right
Then your heart is a pure flame of man's constant night
In your eyes faint as the singing of a lark
That somehow this black night
Feels warmer for the spark
Warmer for the spark
To hold us 'til the day when fear will lose its grip
And heaven has its way
And heaven has its way
When all will harmonise
And know what's in our hearts
The dream will realise

Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes
Heaven knows no frontiers
And I've seen heaven in your eyes

INTRO: Fingerpick [Em-C-D-Em]

[Em]True you ride the finest horse [C] I've ever seen
[D]Standing sixteen one or two with [Em]eyes wild and green
You ride the horse so well [C] hands light to the touch
[D]I could ne---ver go with you no matter how I [Em]wanted to

CHORUS
[Em]Ride on, [C] see you,
[D]I could ne---ver go with you no matter how I [Em]wanted to

When you ride into the night without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space, where once you used to lie
And look for a spark that lights the dark
Through a teardrop in my eye

Chorus

In nineteen hundred and eighty six
There's not much for a chippie but swinging a pick
And you can't live on love, on love alone
So you sail cross the ocean, away cross the foam

To where you're a Paddy, a Biddy or a Mick
Good for nothing but stacking a brick
Your best mate's a spade and he carries a hod
Two work horses heavily shod

Oh I'm missing you
I'd give all for the price of a flight
Oh I'm missing you
under Piccadilly's neon

Who did you murder, are you a spy?
I'm just fond of a drink helps me laugh, helps me cry
So I just drink red biddy for a permanent high
I laugh a lot less and I'll cry till I die

All ye young people now take my advice
Before crossing the ocean you'd better think twice
Cause you can't live without love, without love alone
The proof is round London in the nobody zone

Where the summer is fine, but the winter's a fridge
Wrapped up in old cardboard under Charing Cross Bridge
And I'll never go home now because of the shame
Of misfit's reflection in a shop window pane

Adam's at the window
Staring at teh apple trees on fire
Waiting for the windfall
That brings the smile of kings and their desire
Door blows in behind him
A floral pattern summer dress so gay
Burning in the sunlight
Too late to wait
For darkenss won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the coareless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown

Chorus:
And Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way

Adam's on the island
Living in the land of love
Shadows lurk around him
Drunk on the royal jelly of pure love
Full and ripe the fruit hang
For when the prince arrives he will want more
And more and more he will drink from the canvas cup
The son of a swan will then loose his plumera
And he will wear a new age suit
And haunt the joints in town
And play a silver magic flute
And call his lovers down
And call his lovers down

Chorus:
And Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way

Adam's at the easel
Painting in the wrinkles and the grey
Waiting for November
Easy with the darkness of the day
Smiles a tear of gladness
And Adams at the window once again
Burning in the sunlight
Too late to wait
For darkness won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the careless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips, her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown

Chorus...
Repeat Chorus...

Tumbling curls of green by stained glass streaming light,
And a yellow coloured lampshade-used to keep us up all night,
And the smile upon your face, a tear upon your cheek,
And the night sky on the window-your heart calling out to me.

Chorus
Come running home again Katie, come running home again,
Cross my heart and hope to die, shall I cause another tear from your eye?

The mirror that wont talk and your nightgown on the door,
The old pedal singer just dont sing no more,
You can roll the reels for hours, from the movie from this book,
It's a question mark on this heart of mine, sends an elder back to look.

Chorus(followed by immediate): Katie.

Now I'm looking through a tunnel back into the room,
With the genius of a Druid, when the sunlight floods the tomb,
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't any way,
'Cause though I made the great escape, I never got away.

Chorus
