Ocean View

I was thunderstruck from the start

You were a hammer blow to my heart

You went and caught me off my guard

In a storm of emotion

You came rolling in

And I can't remember

Why or even when

But it was always

Wild like the wind

With you

It was always

Wild like the winter wind

The road is twisting round an ocean view

We've got the moonlight bathing us in blue

I see no future for us but I wanted too

I wanted wild like the wind with you

I was thunderstruck from the start

You were a hammer blow to my heart

You went and caught me off my guard

In a storm of emotion

You came rolling in

And I can't remember

Why or even when

But it was always

Wild like the wind

With you

It was always

Wild like the winter wind

The wheels are skidding cross an icy road

The metal grinding as sparks brightly glow

A river of our blood is drowning me

And my love is falling to a violent sea

My last words ever are a silent scream

I wanted wild like the wind with you

I was thunderstruck from the start

You were a hammer blow to my heart

You went and caught me off my guard

In a storm of emotion

You came rolling in

And I can't remember

Why or even when

But it was always

Wild like the wind

With you

It was always

Wild like the winter wind

Base Metal

We were base metal turned to gold

Beautiful hearts to have and to hold

I was a promise written on your skin

You were a poem for me to sing

How could we have known

Too high a price we paid

And love would hold us ransom

Till the end of our days

Beautiful hearts to have and to hold

We were base metal turned to gold

Your eyes find me from the newspage

A hundred years to the very day

That they took you from me

Down to the County jail

Down those dusty lanes

Down those dusty lanes

Tried for a poacher

The story's always the same

Twas only food for the table

Turned to three years without bail

Down those dusty lanes

Down those dusty lanes

You died of a fever

To the freedom of your grave

But your love held me ransom

Till the end of my days

We were base metal turned to gold

Beautiful hearts to have and to hold

I was a promise written on your skin

You were a poem for me to sing

How could we have known

Too high a price we paid

And love would hold us ransom

Till the end of our days

Beautiful hearts to have and to hold

We were base metal turned to gold
