Foy Vance — "Guiding Light"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO50jHl2LLY

Well the road is wide,
And waters run on either side,
And my shadow went with fading light,
Stretching out towards the night.

'Cause the Sun is low,
And I yet have still so far to go,
My lonely heart is beating so,
Tired of the wonder.

But there's a sign ahead,
Though I think it's the same one again,
And I'm thinking 'bout my only friend,
And so I find my way home.

When I need to get home
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/foy-vance-guiding-light-lyrics.html ]
Well the air is cold,
And yonder lies my sleeping soul,
By the branches broke like bones,
This weakened tree no longer holds.

But the night is still,
And I have not yet lost my will,
Oh and I will keep on moving 'till,
'Till I find my way home.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

When I need to get home,
You're my guiding light,
You're my guiding light.

Noah and the Whale - "Hold My Hand As I'm Lowered"



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUWHJJJkwuQ

Hold my hand as I'm lowered
And please don't see me as a coward
For death, I do not forsake thee
Though your dark stare is always upon me

Well, I fell in love with a world in you
Well, I fell in love with a world in you

O Death, do not feel like the victor
'Cause my poor life makes you none the richer
Oh, your cold hands are clutching at cloth
I leave nothing on Earth that won't rot

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
Well, I fell in love with the world in you

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel cold

Well, I fell in love with the world in you
And now I feel holier

Laura Marling - "Blackberry Stone"



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoRNfpvWhwQ&feature=kp

Well I, own this field
And I wrote this sky
And I have no reason, to reason with you

I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand that I'd never let it go
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered,
But I'd understand that the world does what it does

And you never did learn to let the little things go.
And you never did learn to let me be.
And you never did learn to let little people grow.
And you never did learn how to see.

But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever
To your soul as it floats out off the window
To the world that you turned your back on,
To the world that never really let you be,

And I am Laura now, and Laura still,
And you did always say that one day I would suffer.
You did always say that people get their pay.
You did always say that I was going places,
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.

But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me.
But I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like I needed.

Hmmm Hmmm Mmmm

But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me.
Then I couldn't turn my back on a world for what I like I needed.
And I shouldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry Stone.
