Good morning Captain Magpie. Saw a thievin’ magpie here today
Good fortune, Captain Magpie may gold and silver come your way
If you should see my pretty darlin’, if you should see my pretty darlin’
If you should see my pretty darlin’, won’t you help me steal that heart away?
See Lady Rose-a-ridin’, stole the diamind tears from her eyes
I know you’re one for sorrow, ‘til tomorrow, so am I…

In the wishing hour wish I had three wishes / best of 3 is all I wish for you

Used up my first wish just wishing you were here

Caravan
03:26
|

|
God knew it by our shamefacedness
Forbidden fruit, so much more than tasted it
So when your landlord comes around to change your locks with a flaming sword
It’s time - to make friends with the road again
One kiss goodbye to you and off to join the caravan, caravan of souls
Noah knew it, thirsty man upon the ocean
Flying so high with the dove and the raven
And when there ain’t no landfall here, I wish you a sailor’s prayer
It’s time - to make friends with the road again
One kiss goodbye to you, I’m off to join the caravan, caravan of souls
Show me where the truth is, I’ll tell you where the truth lies
Never glimpsed it ‘til I saw the truth in your eyes
And when the good Lord comes round here and says there ain’t no time no more
It’s time - to make friends with on the road again
One kiss goodbye - we’re off to join the caravan, caravan of souls
the caravan, caravan of souls
God knew it by our shamefacedness
Forbidden fruit, so much more than tasted it
So when your landlord comes around to change your locks with a flaming sword
It’s time - to make friends with the road again
One kiss goodbye to you and off to join the caravan, caravan of souls
Noah knew it, thirsty man upon the ocean
Flying so high with the dove and the raven
And when there ain’t no landfall here, I wish you a sailor’s prayer
It’s time - to make friends with the road again
One kiss goodbye to you, I’m off to join the caravan, caravan of souls
Show me where the truth is, I’ll tell you where the truth lies
Never glimpsed it ‘til I saw the truth in your eyes
And when the good Lord comes round here and says there ain’t no time no more
It’s time - to make friends with on the road again
One kiss goodbye - we’re off to join the caravan, caravan of souls
the caravan, caravan of souls

I Found You
02:53
|
|||
|
Fire and brimstone can’t stop me when I got to go
Says the only winning ticket’s on the first plane home and I got it
Back to where I found you/where I found you/where I found you/I found you
Rhyme and reason every song on the radio
Says the only lucky number’s one on your front door I come knockin’
Back to where I found you/where I found you/where I found you/I found you
Back to where I found you/where I found you/where I found you/you
found me too
Back to where I found you/where I found you/where I found you/you found me too
Oh oh oh

Wild Swan Blues
02:51

|
All you need to carry on your journey
Wise words that you pass along the way
All you need to carry on your journey
Lay down at the end of the day, lay down at the end of the day
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels
Here’s to friends who cannot be here tonight
Here’s to all the strangers passing through
Here’s to all the faces in the firelight
Here’s the song we call the wild swan blues
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels
Wheels within wheels within wheels within wheels
And a good road home is the first good thing that we’ve seen
All you need to carry on your journey
Wise words that you pass along the way
All you need to carry on your journey
Lay down at the end of the day, lay down at the end of the day, lay down at the end of the day

Sweet Connection
03:41
|
|||
|
If you go away turn the light out I won’t see you gone
If you must leave take the air I won’t breathe ‘til you’re home
Leave me with nothing / but a reason for missing you
Don’t let me lose/this sweet connection to you
Don’t let me lose/this sweet connection to you
When you’re away I will wait as the world turns around
When you come home we will fly in the new skies you’ve found
There’s never a reason/ For me to missing you
Don’t let me lose/this sweet connection to you
Don’t let me lose/this sweet connection to you
Don’t let me lose/…. Lose you
Don’t let me lose/… Lose you
Lose you…lose you… lose you

Starchaser
03:10

I am a chaser of the stars up in the sky
I hang on half-moons to see just where do they go and why
I follow starts down highways and old dusty tracks
I am a chaser of the stars… and I love it when they chase me back
I am an outlaw just outside your colour box
I am a buzz-saw and I love to cut through rusty locks
I was not made for houses built of tears and ticky-tack
I am a chaser of the stars and I love it when they chase me back
There’s just one lover understands my wanderin’ ways
We’re in each other’s hearts and minds and in our prayers
I know the cold wind always blowin’ at my back
I am a chaser of the stars … and I love it when they chase me back
I am a chaser of the stars … and I love it when they chase me back, follow me back, OH I love the stars that chase me back, follow me back, oh I love the stars that chase me back… follow be back… chase me back… follow me back

This Train
03:43
|

|
Only Jesus can stop this runaway train, only Jesus can stop this runaway train
This runaway train (runaway train), runaway train
This train is a loaded train and the porter says it’s nothin’ but a pack of lies
This train – is a smokin’ train, and the fireman says ‘welcome to the red eye’
Only Jesus can stop this runaway train, only Jesus can stop this runaway train
This runaway train (runaway train), runaway train
This train is a spellbound train, 16 sleepers ivory and gold
This train is a hellhound train and the brakeman says it’s all the Devil knows
Only Jesus can stop this runaway train, only Jesus can stop this runaway train
This runaway train (runaway train), runaway train
Only Jesus can stop this runaway train, only Jesus can stop this runaway train
This runaway train (runaway train), runaway train

Country Heartbeat
03:08
|
|||
|
Come and lay with me on a bed of Spanish moss
We can say we need no answers just because
We can stay here free, let tomorrow count the cost
When I hear your country heart beating
Like a butterfly on a winter’s afternoon
Cold as clay, darker than the moon
Too beautiful, but too beautiful too soon
Wanna hear your country heart beating
Let me take you down to a place where wildflowers burn blue
Making all the pieces fit only with you
Come and stay with me on a bed of Spanish moss
We can say we need no answers just because
We can stay here free, let tomorrow count the cost
When I hear your country heart beating
Let me take you down to a place where wildflowers burn blue
Making all the pieces fit only with you
Come and lay with me/come and stay with me
Come and lay with me/come and stay with me
Come and lay with me/come and stay with me
Wanna hear your country heart beating

Baby's a Drifter
03:35
|
|||
|
When the blue shadow falls and the nightingale calls
That’s when I dream about you
And the rhythm of a dream, like a runaway train, says
Baby’s a drifter, baby’s a drifter, baby’s a drifter
And I hope baby drifts my way soon
Go on ahead and be a drifter, do anything your little heart desires
It doesn’t take away your mystery, it makes no difference in my eyes
Baby’s a drifter, baby’s a drifter, baby’s a drifter
And I hope baby drifts my way soon
Hope baby drifts my way… hope baby drifts my way… baby drifts my way soon
My way soon
And I hope baby drifts my way, soon

Honey Why?
03:04
|
|||
|
I ain’t lit one long, blonde cigarette
since you told me of your deep regret
Honey don’t you want me anymore?
I ain’t never seen the light up in your high window shine so bright
When you threw this old heart right out the door
I ain’t drank down no sweet red glass
Since you put all our team in the past
Honey don’t you need me any more?
I ain’t never seen the light up in your high window shine so bright
You threw this old heart right out the door
Honey don’t you want me anymore?
Honey don’t you need me anymore?
Honey don’t you love me anymore?
Honey why don’t you care me for me no more?
Well I ain’t told a downright lie
Since the time you kissed good times goodbye
Honey don’t you love me anymore?
never seen the light up in your high window shine so bright
you threw this old heart right out the door
Honey don’t you want me anymore?
Honey don’t you need me anymore?
Honey don’t you care for me no more?
Honey, why don’t you love me anymore?

Railroad Fox
03:41
|
|||
|
Catch me on a slowdown train
It’s the slow train to your heart
I say I’m looking for a place to stay
Small towns all look the same
From the end to the start
When tomorrow comes, start counting-down the days
Like a railroad fox I will soon be gone
Where the tail-lights fade in the dawn
We can dream all day in the summer sun
But a railroad fox keeps on moving on
Listen for the tell-tale sign of your footsteps on the stairs
You’ll be coming home to a cold and empty place
This soul needs a home, but a home is not a house
Looks like it’s time to get away
Like a railroad fox I will soon be gone
Where the tail-lights fade in the dawn
We can dream all day in the summer sun
But a railroad fox keeps on moving on
Like a railroad fox I will soon be gone
Where the tail-lights fade in the dawn
We can dream all day in the summer sun
But a railroad fox keeps on moving on

Angel of L.A.
03:59

You’re the nearest thing to heaven in the city of Los Angeles
Closer to an angel than I’ve ever been
I lost and found my angel in the City of Los Angeles
Only you make the sunshine fall on me
Win or lose, the only game in town has broken rules
Everybody wants to live in paradise, paradise it ain’t no place for fools
You’re the nearest thing to heaven in the city of Los Angeles
Closer to an angel than I’ve ever been
I lost and found my angel in the City of Los Angeles
Only you make the sunshine fall on me
In this town the only game they play is drag you down
Everybody thinks you got a little Paradise, ‘ til you wake up in the Devil’s bed alone
You’re the nearest thing to heaven in the city of Los Angeles
Closer to an angel than I’ve ever been
I lost and found my angel in the City of Los Angeles
Only you make the sunshine fall on me
There’s only one Angel of Los Angeles…
And you’re the one, Angel you’re the one

(All my) Wildflowers
03:13

|
Well you’re writing me a letter from the countryside
When I close my eyes I can see your face
But I can’t read a word here in these city lights
Until I dry my tears in country rain
So I’m stepping westward where the skies are open wide
You can see clear to the stars and back again
Where every word in songs of love is bona-fide
We’ll go dancing barefoot in the country rain
All my California wildflowers
All my California wildflowers
Ah you Keep a-callin’ – I’m comin’ all the way home
Where the jasmine drifts its sweet perfume all summer night
Sweet as dew on new-cut sugarcane
Where your cash ain’t worth the paper upon which you right
Wash away my sins in country rain
Wash away my sins in country rain
All my California wildflowers
All my California wildflowers
All my California – I’m comin’ all the way home
All my California wildflowers
All my California wildflowers
Ah – you keep a-callin’– I’m comin’ all the way home
I’m comin’ all the way home
I’m comin’ all the way home
