1.	Shine 04:34	lyrics	buy track
You left me here all alone Down in the dark, fear in my bones A cut so deep that I can’t see The river of pain pouring out of me Some people they say, come won’t you come take it all away Some people they know, the only way out is letting it go Teacher, Teacher get ready Shine on, hold the light steady Sometimes darkness may roam Shine, shine wherever it goes I’ve spent all my life looking up from the grave Shame, shame forever in chains But I’m ready to rise up from that dream The sunrise to wash me clean Some people they say, come won’t you come take it all away Some people they know, the only way out is letting it go Teacher, Teacher get ready Shine on, hold the light steady Sometimes darkness may roam
2.	Holding The Bag 05:22	lyrics	buy track
Oh mister, can you tell me why I’m standing in the middle of the pieces of a broken life Oh mister, is this the way you hoped it’d be Now that honesty is hanging on the wall for us all to see And I’m holding the bag Oh mister, please you could bring this back to life But by now it’s clear you ain’t gonna do what’s right You’re a little boy, living in that big lie And you’re holding the bag But one, one was the day we met And two, two was the day you left Left me holding the bag Holding the bag Holding the bag again Oh mister, I heard you walked away I know you missed it but I held you in my heart and prayed That you would fly where only angels go Straight up to heaven through Saint Peter’s gates of fool’s gold And I’m holding the bag But one, one was the day we met And two, two was the day you left Left me holding the bag Holding the bag Holding the bag again Maybe words unspoken crossed more lines, now broken Maybe words unspoken crossed more lines Than all of the lies you told I know and you know That one, one was the day we met And two, two was the day you left That one, one was the day we met And two, two was the day you left Left me holding the bag Holding the bag Holding the bag again
3.	The Road 04:49	lyrics	buy track
Nobody’s gonna listen to me Nobody’s gonna turn their head to see ‘Cause I ain’t got no business talking anyhow Nobody’s gonna come on over Nobody’s gonna lend a shoulder for me ‘Cause I ain’t got no good friends anyhow Are these the lies you tell yourself? Oh, there is a road We gotta walk it, can’t get off it ’Til the day is done Oh, there is a road We gotta walk it, can’t get off it ’Til the day is done The world is a funny place A flash in the pan and you’re done with the race Before you even know it’s begun Time is a funny thing It changes everything that you thought would remain If you left it alone What are the things you wish you’d done? Oh, there is a road We gotta walk it, can’t get off it ’Til the day is done Oh, there is a road We gotta walk it, can’t get off it ’Til the day is done This path goes on forever, follow if you can What lies ahead will wait to meet you What lies ahead will wait to meet you In the end Oh, there is a road We gotta walk it, can’t get off it ’Til the day is done Oh, there is a road We gotta walk it, can’t get off it ’Til the day is done
4.	Francis 04:55	lyrics	buy track
Francis I believe, Francis I believe I’m just a young boy in this world alone All I ask is a favor of silver and gold I’m just a young girl walking by myself All I ever wanted was to be my mother’s help Wake up Francis and hear the news There’s a new moon driving away the blues Wake up Francis it’s the end of days So sit back and let the wind blow you on your way I’m just a lost child, standing on the shore In the shadow of another man’s bloody war To be a traveler, in this world to roam Does this path go on forever, will it lead me home? Wake up Francis and hear the news There’s a new moon driving away the blues Wake up Francis it’s the end of days So sit back and let the wind blow you on your way But is it a pipe dream? Wouldn’t it seem, it seem? Why would they tell you that? Wouldn’t they know better than that? Francis I believe, Francis I believe, Francis I believe I believe in the holy ghost I believe in doing the most for your brother I believe in taking a stand, I believe in making amends with your brother I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe Wake up Francis and hear the news There’s a new moon driving away the blues Wake up Francis it’s the end of days There’s a lone rider, a band of angels They said they’re gonna come & take you on your way
5.	Never Gone 03:11	lyrics	buy track
Please forgive me, I’m a selfish man You know my blood runs red, I couldn’t hold it in When you lay me in my resting place Up to that shining sun, won’t you turn my face How we laughed until we cried I could never forget And how I love a little girl holding my hand Please forgive me, I’m a selfish man You know my blood runs red, I couldn’t hold it in When you lay me in my resting place Up to that shining sun won’t you turn my face I’m never gone I’m never gone I wrote my name in the water Drawn from a wishing well Pouring out, flowing back to where it began Please forgive me, I’m a selfish man You know my blood runs red, I couldn’t hold it in When you lay me in my resting place Up to that shining sun won’t you turn my face I’m never gone I’m never gone

We can run, but they keep coming All through the night, until the next morning Ride on, ride on, Ride The mighty sun and the big river The gospel train is leaving here forever Ride on, ride on Ride on, ride on Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross The full moon and the quail call They are calling me home We can walk all the way to the station The river makes a mighty good road Ride on, ride on Ride on, ride on Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home I’m going home Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Gotta keep on walking Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross Oh, the river is wide And hard to cross The river is wide The river is wide The river is wide Gotta keep on walking The river is wide The river is wide The river is wide Gotta keep on walking
7.	The Mountain 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Give me something to love Something to hate Someone to hold my hand As I’m bound for the grave Oh, the Lord, he made that mountain so high So high Give me something to lose Something to hold onto Some kind of dream that maybe I could belong to Oh, the Lord, he gave me a mountain to climb So I climb Move me over the mountain Knock it down in the sea I’ve got only love to deliver Deliver me I’m ready to stay But I’m bound to be on my way Down here on the ground, I’ve found That I’m in need of a better way Oh, the Lord, he made these wings to fly So I’ll fly Move me over the mountain Knock it down in the sea I’ve got only love to deliver Deliver me Move me over the mountain Knock it down in the sea I’ve got all this love to deliver Deliver me Move me over the mountain Knock it down in the sea I’ve got all this love to deliver Deliver me
8.	Undertow 03:26	lyrics	buy track
How could I have known You were covered in gold Why does love telling a lie sound so sincere How do I decide To take it in stride Or find the next train leaving out of here Out of here Hey, you’re gonna hurt somebody Walking around like a hungry ghost Chains, wrapped around my body Pulling me down in your undertow You’re playing in a game I live it every day And you made the rules to favor you, that’s clear The mysteries you made Are burning at the stake Now that truth has come to be revealed Give me something real Hey, you’re gonna hurt somebody Walking around like a hungry ghost Chains, wrapped around my body Pulling me down in your undertow Pulling me down in your undertow Hey, you’re gonna hurt somebody Walking around like a hungry ghost Chains, wrapped around my body Pulling me down in your undertow Pulling me down in your undertow Hey, you’re gonna hurt somebody Walking around like a hungry ghost Chains, wrapped around my body Pulling me down in your undertow Pulling me down in your undertow

Take a hand Be a friend It all begins When we put an end To the hate That we create While enslaved To the way of men Tell the world, tell em now Teach the young to live without Our fathers’ sins, carry no more Surely love will conquer war Death will die When we try To get by With love and only then We will see And all agree That we’re free When no one’s left behind Tell the world, tell em now Teach the young to live without Our fathers’ sins, carry no more Surely love will conquer war Tell the world, tell em now Teach the young to live without Our fathers’ sins, carry no more Surely love will conquer war Eye for an eye Will leave us blind Why not be kind And look for higher ground Hand in hand Every man All is one We shall overcome
10.	The Coals Glow 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Billy was a boy never made a friend Hadn’t had a meal since he didn’t know when But he’s got the kind of mind made to go without His daddy never read ‘cause he didn’t know how Oh, the wind blows cold On that raging fire Oh, the coals they glow In his darkest hour Faded by the sun, and the wind, and the pain Two eyes looking out from a runaway train He’s not the kind of lover to be staying long One day here, the next day gone Oh, the wind blows cold On that raging fire Oh, the coals they glow In his darkest hour When he sleeps, he will dream In perfect color, in harmony Far away from this hell He’s gonna find that wishing well Oh, the wind blows cold On that raging fire Oh, the coals they glow In his darkest hour Oh, and the coals they glow In this darkest hour
11.	Maddie's Ghost 03:22	lyrics	buy track
I’ve been running No use in hiding I’ve been looking for you for all this time I’ve got a feeling It’s not my own I called her name & she turned my heart to stone Nobody knows how this story goes but me I’m just a good girl, in a bad world, doing bad things What else went missing When you lost that name When you left it choking and twisting in the flame Two hands are praying Louder than words Two hearts are waging what can’t be seen or heard Nobody knows how this story goes but me She’s just a good girl, in a bad world, doing bad things Bad things Maddie’s ghost comes for me She cries don’t leave Maddie I’ve been running No use in hiding I’ve been looking for you for all my life
12.	Rain 02:25	lyrics	buy track
Rain, rain go away Won’t you come back someday When we need it more than now When the land is without Rain, rain come again Won’t you be our best friend Come and spread yourself around Take us to the fields we plow Hello sky, shining blue Out we go to play with you All the days we dance and sing Give us our golden wings Cloudy sky built with gray Why must you bring this way Thoughts of never-ending pain Forever all the day We fall, we all fall down Making a joyful sound We all fall down Down, down, we fall down We fall, we all fall down

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 4 fans who also own “Shine”

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
