Three Rivers
3 Rivers that run through my door
I walk beside them to see how they flow
Watching the rivers flow stills my brain
Feel at home in the early morning rain
One flows from the south-west down along the glen
The other starts at the east side of long Loch Earn
One tumbles down from the North
With its Deil's Cauldrons and their foam and froth
Blackthorn and Hawthorn bloom in the spring
Wild Garlic and Bluebells do their thing
and maybe soon the sandmartins will arrive
My joy rushes to them as they swoop and dive
Rivers change as they move along
Many paths we walked are long long gone
Our children grow and they move away
To find their own river songs to sing
Blackthorn and Hawthorn bloom in the spring
Wild Garlic and Bluebells do their thing
and maybe soon the sandmartins will arrive
my heart flies with them as they swoop and dive
Fly Fishers, Wild Swimmers
Dog Walkers, Runners and Ramblers
Stone Skippers, Rock Jumpers
Teenage Drinkers, Young Firemakers
Duck Racers, Raft Makers
Hogmany Flambeaux Bearers
3 Rivers that run through my door
Walk beside them to see how they flow
Watching the rivers flow stills my brain
Feel at home in the early morning rain
Feel at home in the early morning rain
Feel at home in the early morning rain.

Fairweather
Would you come to me in stormy weather
Would you come when skies are grey
or would you rather be my Fairweather
Just blowing in when everything is OK
Would you lie awake with me in darkest November
Chase away my night time fears
or would you rather be my Fairweather
Just waiting for daylight to appear
We could step out in the ebb and flow
Feel the tug of the undertow
But still we'd refuse to go - away
We could swim out to sea - and far from the shore
Ride back in on a big wave - like a good surfers do
So would you come to me in stormy weather
Would you come when skies are grey
Or would you rather be my Fairweather
Just blowing in when everything OK
We could step out in the ebb and flow
Feel the tug of the undertow
But still we'd refuse to go - away.

Sweeter
Sweet as your baby
Sweet as your night time dreams
How sweet is your life - hard as it sometime seems
Sweeter than the honey bee - taking honey from the vine
Your life could be this sweet - some of the time
Saw you this morning - high on the mountain side
Arms wide open - running through that wild mountain thyme
Never take you for granted - its the last thing I'd ever do
Your in me like rock - you run through and through
For every river that flows
Theres a deep where no-one goes
Where the water stays cold all the time
Yet in every heart that beats
Theres a love that won't retreat
Where you'll always stay in mine
Sweet as your baby - sweet as your night time dreams

Red Kites
Wish I was the morning to your night
We could dance at dawn - all darkness and light
Wish I was the morning to your night
We could dance at dawn all darkness and light
We could spiral high just like those Red Kites
Wish I was the wind in your sails
12 feathers in your tail
Wish I was the warmth - to make your bones feel light
and we could wheel and glide just like those red kites
And if we hold on will we hold on too tight
and if we loose our grip will we take flight
and we could spiral high just like those red kites
Up on the moor to watch you fly
Wings spread wide cross the evening sky
Stood still on the cold cold ground
As you sailed into the sun going down
Wish I was the morning to your night
We could dance at dawn all darkness and light
Wish I was the morning to your night
We could dance at dawn all darkness and light
We could spiral high just like those red kites
We could wheel and glide just like those red kites
We could dance at dawn all darkness and light.

Closer Still
See you in the daytime - even in the dark of night
Sense you in the distance - even when you're still out of sight
Even though were so far apart
I hold you close
Closer to my heart
We're walking and talking -if only in my minds eye
We're sitting in a cafe - imagining the world go by
Even though were so far apart
I stlll hold you close - closer to my heart
No matter where these paths might lead us
Or where our journeys just might end
You know I'll always hold on to you
A shining light and a friend
No matter where these paths might lead us
Or where our journeys just might end
You know Ill always hold on to you
Kindred spirit and a friend
See you in the daytime - even in the dark of night
Sense you in the distance - even when you're still out of sight
Even though we're so far apart
I still hold you close - closer to my heart
I hold you close - closer to my heart
Hold you close - closer to my heart
