Our Dreaming Days How many lives have we lived in dreams? How many days have we been dreaming? Night is our time to live in dreams It’s our lives we are dreaming Ooo our dreaming days Days, our dreaming days Mind is a land that needs a dreamer Land needs the rain it needs feeding You were so right when you called me a dreamer Need feeds on need and keeps on needing Ooo our dreaming days Days, our dreaming days How many lives have we lived in dreams? Combien de vies vécu dans les rêves? How many days have we been dreaming? Combien de jours nous avons rêvé? Ooo our dreaming days Days, our dreaming days Jours, nos jours de rêve jours de rêve dreaming days © 2018 Graham Hamilton. All rights reserved
2.	The Truth About The Stars 03:06	lyrics	buy track
The Truth About the Stars You told me the truth about the stars Millions of lights in the sky. You can shrink the moon between your finger and your thumb But you didn’t have the strength to say good-bye. Say Goodbye You told me the truth about the stars They were just stars in my eyes And reaching for the moon, you said was only moonshine, you said And that’s why I had to say good-bye Say Goodbye I left my home in a heartbeat Surprised to be the wandering kind But when I left in that heartbeat I didn’t know I’d left my heart behind Heart behind I told you the truth about the stars Millions of light years away I could not believe what you said about the moon And that’s why I turned away Before I needed to Before I needed to You told me the truth about the stars Are they just lights in the sky? Lights in the sky? © 2018 Graham Hamilton. All rights reserved
3.	Winter Song (Hold Me) 03:57	lyrics	buy track
Winter Song (Hold Me) In the darker days the sun does not climb above the hill Here we sit in darkness here we tell our tales they say we always will Hold me; hold me in this night. Hold me in the glimmer of the day Hold me don’t you turn around don’t walk away Don’t you walk away. Shadows grow longer in the middle of the day winters bones are here for all to see Wintering in the end of the year, keeping as close as we can be Hold me; hold me in this night. Hold me in the glimmer of the day Hold me don’t you turn around don’t walk away Don’t you walk away. Why do we stay here? Why do we stay? They are calling from that distant shore We should sail away. Hold me; hold me in this night. Hold me in the glimmer of the day Hold me don’t you turn around don’t walk away Don’t you walk away. Don’t you walk away. © 2018 Graham Hamilton. All rights reserved
4.	Hands 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Hands Leaves are lying on the ground They can have no regrets Birds fly without a sound Have not answered me yet The ones who stay the ones who go The ones who always go astray Those who feel and those who know Look to what can show the way. I hold out my hand and I touch you I give you my hand to help you through Let us reach out our hands for each other What else can we do? I need your presence, hear my prayer Where are you, where are you? In the winter of the world Which way should we turn? It may be what we give Is more than we can earn I hold out my hand and I touch you I give you my hand to help you through Let us reach out our hands for each other What else can we do? © 2018 Graham Hamilton.

5.	Golden Summer Days 02:30	lyrics	buy track
Golden Summer Days The last days of summer will soon be gone We stayed together all summer long Soon be gone those golden summer days Autumn nights are coming on Can what we (had) still stay strong? Without all those golden summer days. Will you stay in the darkness? Will you stay through the night? Will we be together when the world turns around? For one more golden summer in the sun The last days of summer will soon be gone We loved each other all summer long Soon be gone those golden summer days Golden Summer days Soon be gone those golden summer days © 2018 Graham Hamilton.

6.	At The Weekend 02:23	lyrics	buy track
At The Weekend It’s the end of the working week Oblivion is what we are seeking Drinks come round at 4 o’clock Three whole nights of getting crocked Girls and boys out for a few doing all the things we should not do At the weekend, at the weekend, at the weekend Meet me down at the micro pub for a shed full of beer and maybe some grub At the weekend at the weekend, at the weekend at the weekend They say work is a 4-letter word No good for the soul is what I heard Come on people don’t be slow The fun stats here go cat go! Friday night is number is number one Everybody needs to have their fun Cane some money, splash that cash The whole wide world out on the lash Teddy get ready, Dan lets go, the band are playing the late, late show At the weekend, at the weekend, at the weekend Are you out tonight? Yeah we’re out tonight Goin on the road to shed our load At the weekend at the weekend, at the weekend at the weekend © 2018 Graham Hamilton. All rights reserved.
7.	Desire 03:10	lyrics	buy track
DESIRE When you’re looking for redemption For where the blame should fall We always blame the one we have hurt Who should not be blamed at all The other does not know you Not like the way I do You know I come with strings attached But what I say is true The devil was in our desire That demon at my back No angel on my shoulder No denial, no going back All of us are broken There are no victors here Scarred by that same emotion Who were so bright and so clear Let us rise from this bed of sorrow To see the damage lying there How can we make a new morning? When the sign says buyer beware The devil was in our desire That demon at my back No angel on my shoulder No denial, no going back © 2018 Graham Hamilton. All rights reserved.
8.	Trouble 03:34	lyrics	buy track
Trouble It wasn’t across a crowded room Just an intimate small affair But I was lost when you came in I was lost but I did not care, that you were Trouble, I knew that you were trouble Oh Trouble, I called you by your given name, that’s trouble Oh Trouble Nothing but trouble, to me. We both knew what was going on All it needed was a word So the word was spoken without a thought For all the pain and lies and hurt, all that Trouble, we wanted all that trouble Oh Trouble, call it by what name you like its trouble Oh Trouble Nothing but trouble, to me. I had to see you again And for us to be reconciled But they say you are gone for good And there’s no rest for my worried mind, only Chorus Trouble, we made all that trouble Oh Trouble, call it out, can’t call it back that trouble Oh Trouble Nothing but trouble, to me. Trouble for you trouble for me Nothing but trouble to see Oh trouble nothing but trouble to see. © 2018 Graham Hamilton. All rights reserved
9.	Nothing To Be Done 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Nothing To Be Done Dancing together under yellow streetlights Through the park all in the rain All night long in another man’s bed Please don't go away again When you wake up and I’m beside you What are you thinking of? When you wake up and I’m not with you What do you want who do you love? I saw you the next week in the station With your Handbag high heels and make up on Of course, I knew where you were going Nothing to say nothing to be done When I wake up and you are beside me I know what I’m thinking of When I wake up and you are not with me I know what I want I know who I love How much longer can we go on like this? You say you are leaving but never when I don’t know how much more I can take of this It’s crazy but please don’t say this craziness has to end When I saw you that time in the station With your Handbag high heels and make up on Nothing to say nothing to be done. © Graham Hamilton 2018
10.	Goddess 05:17	lyrics	buy track
The Goddess Ramagiri The Goddess Ramagiri, Venus of a thousand dawns The Mother of God sings the blues; she’s the mother of a million songs They are already written, she has sung them all I can hear her calling me I can hear her call Devi Deva Devi Deva Deva De New moon on the horizon over the Bay of Bengal You held me in your arms and told me she would call Open up your head and heart she will call, she will call You will hear her calling you; you will hear her call Devi Deva Devi Deva Deva De By the fast flowing rivers Beyond the mountains and the sea In The space between the spheres of heaven There she will be She will be There she will be I am I am the wind of the sea I am the waves of the deep The stag on the hill the hawk on a cliff the dark of the moon the tears of the sun I am the tears of the sun the tears of the sun © 2018 Graham Hamilton.

Waiting on the River Waiting on the river, I’m waiting on the tide So many years I’ve been away I need to be by your side Soon I’ll be by your side I sailed the southern ocean, many times I have crossed the line Those big fish are hard to kill They don’t want to die I’m changing my profession, I’ll find a gentler trade I’m weary of the slaughter Its not worth the price we made Now I’m Waiting on the river, waiting on the tide So many years I’ve been away I need to be by your side Soon I’ll be by your side The sun is on the water, the dawn is almost clear Soon I will see my home again And the one I hold most dear Waiting on the river, waiting on the tide So many years I’ve been away I need to be by your side Soon I’ll be by your side © 2018 Graham Hamilton.

Harry’s Lullaby I aint a cowboy, riding the range I’m not a sailor on the ocean so blue Sometimes I think I aint much of a singer But I can sing this song for you Look out your window and reach for the sky Reach for the moon if you want to You can do all things if you try And this is your song Harry’s lullaby Its your lullaby Harry’s lullaby I got born on the same day as you did A little further down the line So thanks for letting me share your birthday Now and for always it’s yours and its mine Look out your window and reach for the sky Reach for the moon if you want to You can do all things if you try And this is your song Harry’s lullaby Its your lullaby Harry’s lullaby © 2018 Graham Hamilton.
