LYRICS
THE FIELD
Watching light start to fade
On the close of an autumn day
Take a walk out into the cold
To the places I used to knowAnd you’ve got to let it go
Yes you’ve got to let it go..Turning back time, yes I’m turning back time
Turning back time just to see
If all of the freedom that we used to share
Is still out here in The FieldWatching leaves blow across the ground
Down the avenue overlooking the town
‘Just to dig it all', not to question why
‘Man crawls and the Spirit Flies’And you’ve got to let it go
Yes you’ve got to let it go..Turning back time, yes I’m turning back time
Turning back time just to see
If all of the freedom that we used to share
Is still out here in The FieldI walk down the lane I call out your name
Down by the woods and the stream
And I still believe in the freedom we shared when we walked out in The Field
Turning back time, yes I’m turning back time
Turning back time just to see
If all of the freedom that we used to share
Is still out here in The FieldHead out
Head out
Head out into The Field
Head out
Head out
Head out into The Fieldcopyright Steve Jones 2002

BRIGHTER DAYGet out of the city
Get out of the street
Run to the valley
Run to the fields
Got to make it through
Watch the season change
Gonna live
Gonna seach
Find that brighter day.Get out to the water
Get out to the sea
Sail that wide ocean
Let the wind gonna carry me
Got to make it through
The storms and the hurricanes
Gonna live
Gonna seach
Find that brighter day.Well the sun goes down
Behind monoxide clouds
We all shuffle to our usual places
As the nightime sky comes down
In the corner of the bar room
Drifting far away
Gonna live
Got to search
Find that brighter day.copyright Steve Jones 2000

HARBOUR SONG
Harp solo
Now the years are far away
The harbour where I stood and played
Sailortown and Hurricane
To hope a coin could come my way
Pretty girl is walking by
Will she turn and look and smile
Won’t you come and talk to me
Stop a while and set me freeThese are the moments
Flooding back in bittersweet sentiments
These are the moments
Flooding back
These are the moments
Flooding backIt was over our love was spent
I was left to find the rent
For an empty lonely room
And all the ghosts of me and you
I would spend my afternoons singing Tangled Up In Blue
I learned the song in a harbour town
Halfway up and halfway downThese are the moments
Flooding back in bittersweet sentiments
These are the moments
Flooding back
These are the moments
Flooding backHarp solo
Down by the arcade
I would watch the fiddler play
With a dog at his feet
Tunes that echoed down the street
I would wander down the docks
Dream about the boats and yachts
Watch another sail unfurl
Journey to another worldWalking home along the beach
Feel you sleeping out my reach
Sand slipping through my hands
I would try to understand
Think about when you were mine
Together on this shoreline
Watch another memory
Cast it out into the seaHarp solo
These are the moments
Flooding back in bittersweet sentiments
These are the moments
Flooding back
I’m going back
I’m going back now
Cos I’m going back
Flooding back in bittersweet sentiments
For me.copyright Steve Jones 2004

YOU ARE MY RELEASEOpen up the night
Burn a little brighter
Up to closing time
To the morning after
All around you now
People you should know
Come on live the moment
Open up
Move into the flowYou are my release
At the edge of a big night
Somewhere in between
Right where I wanna be
You are my releaseOpen up the day
Make the vision wider
We can find a way
To make the burden lighter
All around you now
People you should know
Come on live the moment
Open up
Get into the flowYou are my release
At the edge of a big night
Somewhere in between
Right where I wanna be
You are my releaseCome on now

At the edge of a big night
Somewhere in between

AFFIRMATION
You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
You head off the beaten track
And you’re walking out of time
Heading forward, don’t go backAnd everything can change
When I look for a destination
I just find you every time
And you are my affirmation
And it simply blows my mind
Here and now
I want affirmation
Here and now
I want affirmationAs we stumble through our history
As we make our way back home
And you know it gets so hard
To try and make it on your ownAnd everything can change
When I look for a destination
I just find you every time
And you are my affirmation
And it simply blows my mind
Here and now
I want affirmation
Here and now
I want affirmationLooking for affirmation
AffirmationAnd everything can change

DIFFERENT WAYGive me a reason
Give me a sign
I’ve no idea
What goes on in your mind
I don’t want to hang around
Wait for you to change
I’m sorry but I feel a different way7.30pm
Streets wet with rain
And I wait by the window
And you are so late
I don’t even get a call
You’re a world away
Sorry but I feel a different wayWhen she’s more than a friend
I fall down time, time, time and again
Here she comes again
I don’t even sleep
Find it hard to breathe
And I just can’t dream
AnymoreI can’t dream anymore
I don’t even get a call
You’re a world away
Sorry but I feel a different way
I feel a different way
Yeah yeah yeah
I feel a different way
Here she comes again
Here she comes again
Here she comes againcopyright Steve Jones 2004

LET SLEEPNG DOGS LIE
Did the night call you?
Did the silence break the dawn?
Did the day break through
To illuminate the wall?
Are you lost?
Where are you now?
Did you find a special place?
Did you find someone new
Who could keep your dogs at bay?Looking out from your window
Can you see beyond the view?
Beyond the pain and the lies
Of a tainted world you knew?
Are you lost?
Where are you now?
Did you find a special place?
Did you find someone new
Who could keep your dogs at bay?Are you lost?
Where are you now?
Did you find a special place?
Did you find someone new
Who could keep your dogs at bay?copyright Steve Jones 2004

MILLION MILES
You’re out of time
You’re out of touch
Suddenly your life
Just gets stuck
You’re a million miles
A million miles away
Feels like a million miles awayMaybe she was right
Maybe you won’t change
Maybe you’ll never open up
Be yourself again
You’re a million miles
A million miles away
Feels like a million miles awayFar away
Take alookaround
You gotta stop the rust
Find something to believe
Hold on to what you trust
You’re a million miles
A million miles away
Feels like a million miles awayFar away
When you’re a million miles
You’re a million miles
When you’re a million miles
You’re so far awaycopyright Steve Jones 2004

CHASING RAINBOWS(IN THE SUMMERTIME)
In the sunshine, in the street
I see you in people I meet
I saw a girl like you yesterday
Big brown eyes and long dark
A smile that brightens up anywhere
It’s been a long time, but I still think about youAnd she’s so fine
And she’s on mind
And what I’d give to see her again
But I’m chasing rainbows
In the summertimeLunch hour hits the city again
And you just want to board that plane
Take a boat out accross the river
Take a plane to Amsterdam
San Fransisco or Milan
Meet her in a café on the cornerAnd she so fine
And she’s on my mind
And what I’d give to see her again
But I’m chasing rainbows
In the summertimeI’m chasing rainbows
In the summertimeOh she looks so fine
Yeah she’s on mind
Oh she looks so fine
Can’t get her off my mindI’m chasing rainbows
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na

WILDFIRE
Your eyes are suddenly like wildfire
I know that we can make it through
A journey suddenly a lifetime
And nothings stronger than the truthYes we finally made it
You know it’s been so long
And I’m looking for a wildfire
That I’ve knownLike a wildfire
Burn like a wildfireYour skin is suddenly like velvet
A silken river runs through you
A heart is suddenly wide open
And nothings stronger than the truthYes we finally made it
You know it’s been so long
And I’m looking for a wildfire
That I’ve knownLike a wildfire
She’ s like a wildfireYes we finally made it
You know it’s been so long
And I’m looking for a wildfire
That I’ve lost
Yes we finally made it
A storm is raging through
And I’m looking a wildfire that I’ve knownLike a wildfire
She’s like a wildfirecopyright Steve Jones 2004
