	#		Songs
1	1	Taking The Veil In dresses white, all set for sail A little girl dreams of taking the veil In dresses white, all set for sail A little girl dreams of taking the veil On beaches clean of sand and shell A little girl dreams of taking the veil All lightning bright and thunder loud A little girl dreams safe and sound	Taking The Veil	Taking The Veil
1	2	Laughter & Forgetting Running like a horse between the trees The ground beneath my feet Gives me something to hold on to With the reins around my heart Guided by hands that spread life before my very eyes Well every hope falls down on it's knees in time But I'm no longer lost Every day, every second, every hour inside Love's my only guide Are these the years for laughter and forgetting?	Laughter & Forgetting
1	3	Before The Bullfight I hear your voice Way down inside A whispering sea Of towering trees But no reply A silence so rare And more than I can stand Sweeps like a flood Through life's flesh and blood And steals away with it's heart If I'm losing you Then there's nothing more that I can say The fighting is on And battles are won Or thrown away But if I could live Safe and sound In God given fields Or mountains of steel Then here I'd stay Till you'd gone Guilty of stealing Every thought I own I will take my turn To fight the bullfight Every word's sunk in deep Like the blades of a knife through my heart But my strength will return To fight the bullfight As time's come to show I'm told nothing more than I should know A ship on the sea that threatens to leave But never goes This island of blue Where life clings to your hands Like water and sand Will lose it's way When you're gone When all's forgiven Still every fault's my own I will take my turn To fight the bullfight Say a prayer for my release When every hope in the world is asleep And my strength will return To fight the bullfight	Before The Bullfight
1	4	Gone To Earth With a burning candle A book of holy things They'll throw you up against the wall Bind your hands with string Caught in the sudden shower Our host of heavenly Kings They're all victims of circumstance Of ancient bells that bring All the fear in the world, naked and shy Down upon our heads, with no reason why And though voices may holler For all they're worth The rabbits have fled their burrows Gone to earth	Gone To Earth
1	5	Wave It seems that I remember I dreamed a thousand dreams We'd face the days together No matter what they'd bring A strength inside like I'd never known Opened the door to life and let it go This sun may shine forever Upon the back of love A kingdom raised from ashes And held within your arms And should the rain break through the trees We'll find a shelter there and never leave I'll run to you, nothing stands between us now Nothing I can lose This light inside can never die Another world just made for two I'll swim the seas inside with you And like the waves, without a sound I'll never let you down Upon a wave of summer A hilltop paved with gold We shut our eyes and made The promises we hold A will to guide and see us through I'd do it all again because of you I'd tear my very soul to make you mine	Wave
1	6	Riverman I see your eyes light up like fire It's medicine to me But as the hunted live their lives You're keeping out of reach So I keep running, falling Till I reach the water Run with me holyman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world Now, should you ask me to come home To wake up from the sleep Like a boat inside a storm Is there no hope for me? So I keep running, falling Wade into the water Run with me riverman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world	Riverman
1	7	Silver Moon Out upon the open fields The rain is pouring down We're pulling up the sheets again Against the passing tides of love Every doubt that holds you here Will find their own way out I will build a shelter if you call Just take my hand and walk Over mountains high and wide Bridging rivers deep inside With a will to guide you on Your heart will need no one Those days are gone Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Lost inside of dreams that guide you on Baby, I can tell you there's no easy way out Soon the guiding moonlight will be gone Out upon the ocean waves subside	Silver Moon
1	8	Riverman (remix) I see your eyes light up like fire It's medicine to me But as the hunted live their lives You're keeping out of reach So I keep running, falling Till I reach the water Run with me holyman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world Now, should you ask me to come home To wake up from the sleep Like a boat inside a storm Is there no hope for me? So I keep running, falling Wade into the water Run with me riverman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world	Riverman (remix)	Riverman (remix) Remixed by David Sylvian and Richard Moakes.

2	10	Upon This Earth (Voice of J. G. Bennet) Looking by chance in at the open window I saw my own self seated in his chair With gaze abstracted, furrowed forehead, Unkempt hair. I thought that I had suddenly come to die, That to a cold corpse this was my farewell, Until the pen moved slowly upon paper And tears fell. He had written a name, yours, in printed letters One word on which bemusedly to pore No protest, no desire, your naked name, Nothing more Would it be tomorrow, would it be next year? But the vision was not false, this much I knew And I turned angrily from the open window Agaist at you. Why never a warning, either by speech or look, That the love you cruelly gave me could not last? Already it was too late: the bait swallowed, The hook fast	Upon This Earth	Upon This Earth Upon This Earth contains a reading of the Robert Graves poem The Foreboding which can be found in any selected edition of the poetry or in his collected poems (cassell p,95). The reading is by Robert himself and is taken from an album of his readings on a label called Argo, long since passed.
