morning we had a site just right By Thursday night we’ve pack up the show By Friday morning we were ready to go We all met at my front door We passed around the maps and snacks and pet the cats once more Then we piled into everything that ran And we ran off for a weekend on the land Grab your bag and come along G D We’re an army and we’re going strong G C D G We’ll take the road that we’ve never seen G C D G And we’ll know it when we get there G C In Good Company D G (back to verse) From dusk until dawn we’re singing our songs Sharing old stories and laughing along The moon smiling down, the sun shining bright And even the thunder can’t ruin our night We dance as the rain comes pouring down Gypsies of each walk of life, all around The fire burning keeps us warm As we watch it come and watch it go We dance to the storm Grab your bag and come along G D We’re an army and we’re going strong G C D G We’ll take the road that we’ve never seen G C D G And we’ll know it when we get there G C In Good Company D G (back to verse) Sunday morning we thank the land For giving shelter to our merry band We pack the cars and say good bye To a place that holds so many memories Just when we think the story ends, I ask: “Hey, what are you guys doing next weekend?” Grab your bag and come along G D We’re an army and we’re going strong G C D G We’ll take the road that we’ve never seen G C D G And we’ll know it when we get there G C In Good Company D G (back to verse) Catnyp We all know the lion statues Of the library Protectors of the knowledge held inside But if you scratch the right one Just behind the ear Blue eyes show you where the secrets lie Catnyp came to life one night Along with all the Pages Paper dolls with flat and inky smiles The Pages bring the books to you Day and night, two by two But Catnyp tells the mice just what to find… Battles or Biography Muggles or geography Step just right and you will see A cat caught in a library Waterfalls of history Of truth and archeology Of magic and of mystery The Hidden Library…. In the windows you’ll see lantern light Drifting through the night For midnight is the busiest of hours The Fair folk are calling books Of Life and death and dreaming And the love that every blackened heart desires Catnyp is the search engine, The stone card catalog And his results come out as mice and rooks And if you find the right one The mice will tell you stories Of everyone who’s ever held their book. Battles or Biography Muggles or geography Step just right and you will see A cat caught in a library Waterfalls of history Of truth and archeology Of magic and of mystery The Hidden Library…. Goblins in the Reading Room Mint grows in the rugs Salamanders in the lamps Pixies keep the coffee mugs Dwarven maidens make the tea And make the garden grow But Catnyp keeps the naughty ones Frozen faces all in a row As Pages fly the stacks hum softly Songs long forgot And to their voices Catnyp always smiles For when no one is looking, He prowls into their keep To preen and purr and join their song a while Slip through the cracks, behind a door Or backwards through an archway And bring along a treat fit for a cat Mind your manners, and quiet, please And never go into the stacks Or you might find yourself scolded by a magic marble cat…. Battles or Biography Muggles or geography Step just right and you will see A cat caught in a library Waterfalls of history Of truth and archeology Of magic and of mystery The Hidden Library…. Child Of Stars Child of stars, walkin by the ocean side Trying to touch the moon again I asked can I walk with you In this place that may never be my home again CA 2n PO dF ret And we walked, down by the water And we walked, down by the water Slow we drifted down into the rolling waves, He reached out to his friend And as he sank he smiled at me and from his bone white hands He brought alive his brothers in the darkened waves again And we walked, down by the water And we walked, down by the water Bridge They strap me to an 87 megaton bomb C G D G Sending me and my team straight out to the stars C G D G My last night on earth was spent with a a man C G D G Going my way D G He was trying to get home as I was running away C G D G But Fate had us going to the very same place C G D G He taught me that home isn't where you are C G D G But where you wanna stay D G Driving out into the night I caught a glimpse of him Riding shotgun next to me on a single moonbeam I said a little thank you for letting me along His journey, and he on mine And we walked, down by the water And we walked, down by the water Circus of Dreams Come One, Come all, to the carnival Where embers and cinnamon play Come in and wander, over and under While paper birds sing in their cage Through tents in stripes of black and white You’ll find wonders both magic and strange Be assured if you wish to return We’re only a wish away Chorus: For you see, my dear It’s oh so clear Nothing’s quite as it seems For with the dawn we will be gone For we are the Circus of dreams A willow tree sighs as blue butterflies Hover round a silver flame Unfinished statues still captured in stone Look closely, you might see them change Wishes captured and written on leaves As red as the Harvest moon Lions grin and fires spin In the colors of a pale afternoon Chorus For you see, my dear It’s why we’re here Nothing’s quite as it seems For with the dawn we will be gone For we are the Circus of dreams Candles burn down and firelight dies the dawn pulls its way to the sky And with its first light our fancy takes flight For we are the creatures of night But as silence sets over the path you may look back to see a pair of green and glowing eyes staring back with glee Chorus For you see, my dear It’s oh so clear Nothing’s quite as it seems For with the dawn we will be gone For we are the Circus of dreams Yes with the dawn we will be gone For we are the circus of dreams Clockwise Tick tock, tick tock Tick tock, Tick tock Upon the mantle of the lordly sage (Tick tock, Tick tock) Stands a clock of masterful make (Tick tock, Tick tock) Tiny bells singing (Tick tock, Tick tock) Silver pendulum swinging (Tick tock, Tick tock) Midnight strikes every night (Tick tock, Tick tock) Blackwood smiles in new moon’s light (Tick tock, Tick tock) Follow the hands slowly round (Tick tock, Tick tock) It moves with a life all its own (Tick tock, Tick tock) Chorus Puzzle piece, Masterpiece The pendulum march leads the way The clock falls apart as its coming to life As time slips away Tiny books within the wood (Tick tock, Tick tock) Keep the stories, bad and good (Tick tock, Tick tock) Sit when the clock strikes for tea (Tick tock, Tick tock) Gently pouring cups for three (Tick tock, Tick tock) Tiny princess in silver gears (Tick tock, Tick tock) Awaits her prince with silver tears (Tick tock, Tick tock) Grey harlequin where a cuckoo might be (Tick tock, Tick tock) Juggles silver balls, one, two three (Tick tock, Tick tock) She collects them, you see….

Chorus Tick tock Tick Tock Tick tock BONG Companion I sit and wait beside the only tree for miles The path before me barely visible at night I wait there patiently alongside As one by one they all come by Seekers trying to find their way along Em D (repeats) I ride the winds on wings of black and heather I never know where they all go, just where they’ve been I have to say it wasn’t always like this But that’s a life that I don’t miss I hold the moment for all those who need just one Chorus: For I am the Guardian, and I am the Guide C D (repeats) For all who journey here, I walk beside I pass along all the things I learned Cause nobody can know just where the story turns Then a young man came with heart so heavy Looking for a way to make it all make sense I rode the top of the bag he had on He had the tools he needed all along He just needed a companion on the way A girl danced through the misty shade She liked my voice as I kept her rhythm true She didn’t know just where this road might lead But she was happy for the company So I gave her one feather to remember Chorus: Yes I’m the Guardian, and I’m the Guide I keep them safe from where the shadows hide The choices that they make are on their own But I’m always there to make sure they don’t walk this road alone Then a flutter of wings caught my attention A glow of white landed on the darkened road He looked around and then he smiled at me He came to sit with me beside my tree And when I heard the footsteps on the path, I knew Chorus: That we are Guardians, and we are the Guides For all who journey here, we walk beside We pass along all the things we learned Cause nobody can know just where the story turns Yes we are Guardians, and we are Guides We keep them safe from where the shadows hide The choices that they make are on their own But We’re always there to make sure no one walks alone Em D x2 And now we know that we’ll never be alone C D Em D x2 Em Corvus Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow Living in the places where the shadows go Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow Living in the places where the shadows go Yeah, I’m a real night-crawler come out in the day Watching up and down the road for my next meal Roadkill will do just fine Or a mouse that the cat couldn’t find Cause I’m a real tough cookie with a story on my back I gotta certain something and a quip for every quill Hold still, and you just might Catch me on my next flight Won’t you come and join me for a dance, my dear? And learn a trick or two along the way Never be afraid to let your voice be heard We’ll dance your fear of flying right away (What goes up must come down, but getting up there’s half the fun) Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow Living in the places where the shadows go In a world where anything can be thrown away I got my pick of the litter Pick it out, pick it up, take it away Sweet talk and a squawk in every work I say Oh brother, won’t you come out and play Murder’s not a dirty word where I’m from I hold space for shadows, spinning yarns in mid air Here kitty kitty with a few lives to spare Doesn’t mean you wanna take me on for that mouse right there… (Fuzzball never knew what hit him…) Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow Living in the places where the shadows go So in the early mornin’ when the fog’s rollin’ in Keep an eye on the treetops, cause if I’m sittin’ in You’ll know that it’s just another night on the town For a winged scrounger who sure gets around Won’t you come and join me for a dance, my dear? And learn a trick or two along the way Never be afraid to let your voice be heard We’ll dance your fear of flying right away (Come on up and see me sometime and stay for a squawk…) Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow Living in the places where the shadows go Jackdaw, magpie, raven, crow Living in the places where the shadows go Critters Garden rows, tinkling bells Sparkly stones to play on But if harm should ever come to her Out come the nightmare guns Our lady love, she dreams us real And we love her right back But if you wanna date her, we better like you Or you’re not coming back! Chorus: In the plumbing, in the walls Between the books and cracks We’re the eyes that you feel watching Just behind your back We love our dancing lady We’d follow her through hell And any who annoy our love We’ll take them there as well She dances in the firelight We dance within the flame She doesn’t know we live here, too But she somehow knows our name Chorus: Small and wiley, dark and fast We’re legion through and through We love our dancing lady And you better love her, too! >>>Insert Critters here<<< Bridge: Hair barrets go missing Keys just disappear A dream once filled with color Washes grey with darkest fear We’re eye for eye, tooth for tooth We’ll never be too tame For everyone who hurts her Is a target for our games Verse: Come dancing with our lady And we’ll never do you harm And we promise not to nip your toes If you leave a shiny charm And so we keep our lady safe To dance and sing each day But keep your darker thoughts from her Or we’ll come out to play Chorus: In the plumbing, in the walls Between the books and cracks We’re the eyes that you feel watching Just behind your back Small and wiley, dark and fast We’re legion through and through We love our dancing lady And you better love her, too! The Critters Buttonhole Buttonhole is the shy one Some doubt that she exists But if you leave out lemon peel She simply can't resist Fauna Little Fauna lives for storms Be they snow or rain Her axe always keeps her safe When lightning comes to play She rearranges everything From shells to spoons to stone And where you'll find the shampoo next Only Buttonhole knows She spins around like a carousel To a rhythm all her own Her axe is sharp and jagged And older than she knows The spirit house upon the shelf Is where she makes her home and if any try to talk to her She says, "I want to be alone." Static follows her everywhere As she runs about the house But her aim is true when scaring off Every bug and mouse Dust Bunny Dust bunny is our Captain He keeps us all in line And he always keeps his watch tight As he is keeper of our Time Firrigard, the Christmas Critter When the Christmas tree comes Firrigard comes to life He swings about like Tarzan from the ornaments and lights He runs us forward backward round Til every deed is done Then makes sure we all have a perfect Seat to watch the fun He reties all the ribbons Into impossible bows And he loves to play matchmaker By moving the Mistletoe He makes us laugh, he makes us growl He keeps us fit to stalk and howl And he always keeps the sharpest eye Beneath his heather cowl He spices all the cider whether you want it or not And he nips just a spoonful Just as long as its hot Esler You're lucky if you see young Esler More than once or twice She's light of foot with foxie ears And a nose for every spice Magdalen T. Shrout Back in the coat closet You’ll find Magdalen T. Shrout And whenever there’s a party That’s when she’s about Whenever peppers are hung to dry It always make her bolder So never mind when you hear a rattling In the wooden spoon holder She nicks the gloves folks leave behind But not just on a whim She unravels the woven ones And knits them up again The frying pan is her pride and joy Cast iron, perfect for eggs But don't forget to wash it out Or she'll throw beans at your head! For Magdalen makes all the clothes For Dust Bunny and his band So if you’re ever at these parties Go ahead, give her a ‘hand’ The Critters Orpheus In the attic you'll find Orpheus the oldest of our band He's keeper of the stories and the songs of the clan Taka Taka looks like an old librarian From Victorian Hyde Park But don’t let the bouffant fool you Those fangs are razor sharp Keep an eye to the oak out front For a squirrel of purest white He runs errands for Orpheus But no one knows quite why! She loves the wing chimes in the hall And collects fresh water shells And our lady has stopped wondering Why the books reshelve themselves At midnight you may hear a voice Like dust on a gravel road You may hear your name in a song You're not sure how you know They all go back in order Each volume in its place But if you put one back wrong She just might eat your face Pickles Pickles got left in the fridge one day He never did that again But he earned his name and used it well To our sweet lady’s ends Whizzer Whizzer lives in the bathroom sink Not under it, in the drain He moved in when she replaced the floor And never moved out again Though the scent of dill does follow him To table, hall and toaster Believe me when I tell you What he does is never kosher He blesses all the band-aids He sleeps with his helmet lit He tunnels through the garden To make the seeds all fit He sings the ice in cups to crack He whistles cats to pounce And he’s the one who makes the glasses Not break, but bounce He’s brown with dirt and minty fresh He’s quick with a pebble, too So careful of the flowers Or you’ll find one in your shoe Sparkle Sparkle lives in the far right cupboard She's keeper of the tea So when the kettle's boiling You know just where she'll be Never ask what's in your cup If you're sick or feeling down just know that once you finish it you're sure to come around For she always brews the tea you need Black, Green, Sweet, or spice So no matter which tea you choose You'll never get the same once twice! Daughter Of The Red Cast the bones, read the stones Working for the dead Nothing too unusual Just a little taste of red. Walking with a fearsome sight Green eyes take me in 10 of 6 does mark the spot With a perfect hat and a gleeful grin We’re just Envy green and Cinnamon Moving through the morning Moving through the morning Followed by the rabbit Stalked along the way Not sure what he’s looking for But he left the white coat home today He’s one of mother’s faithful Caught somewhere in between But I guess that’s what happens when You’re the new Red Queen (yes, well) The Doormouse raised his sleepy head Told me to beware The Jabberwock lives on this block And he doesn’t play fair, well Envy green and Cinnamon Moving through the morning Moving through the morning Bridge: Mama loved the sound of her own voice, She wanted things her way But sooner or later I always knew That the Bandersnatch would have his day Then that day came and she was gone But no tear of mine was shed For a green-eyed man, he took my hand For my hatted love, I wear the red East or West, up or down We grow, we shrink, we fall But a single smile against the dark Disappears, despite it all Verse: So we make it through as best we can, Serving queen and kingdom, all But keep an eye to the setting sun If a hood and hat should come to call We're just Envy Green and Cinnamon Moving through the morning Moving through the morning Disenchanted A blessing or a curse of golden hair I never wanted C D A golden stair you asked for Em Every single day C D Em You locked me in here Em But you couldn’t take the moonlight C D And now I’m cutting loose to find Em All the things that you never taught me C D You can keep my hair G I don’t need it to feel pretty C D You can keep my tower G I don’t need it to be strong C D I’m racing out to find the place G where the sun and the moon C D Have coffee when you can’t see Em C either one at all D G C D I’ve tied the only thing Em you loved about me to the window I’m down and gone and Em leaving all I know behind C D I hitched a ride Em on a story all my own C D And when the sun comes up Em Never been so happy to be blinded C D C D So I’ll keep running Em Until I find an ocean Am Then hop a ship and find C what’s on the other side D I’ll race any dream Em I find along the way Am I’ll never know what might have been But that’s all right D C So many years Am spent silent and afraid G But my wings are on the open road And I’m learning how to soar D I never asked to be your precious Princess, pet, or puppet C D Call me selfish, call me immature And call me vain C D C G C D Twice Em Em I’ll never stop until Em I hit that far horizon C D Even if I never make it Em The ride is worth the price I pay so… C D You can keep my hair G I don’t need it to feel pretty C D You can keep my tower G I don’t need it to be strong C D I’m racing out to find the place G where the sun and the moon C D Have coffee when you can’t see Em either one at all C D I’m running with both arms open G to what comes my way C D I just can’t stop G And I don’t ever want to try C D I broke the skin and found the colors G Beyond black and white C D And I no longer care if you get mad… Em C Cause I’m chasing down the morning C And into the world I fall… D G C D Twice Having coffee with the Sun and Moon Em and never looking back at all.. C D G The Dreaming Dreamtime is where song and story Pass from hand to hand Ages live on in each child Who sees to understand The dream of man is that we think that we're in charge Narrating all that we see Near and far But those long before us us Knew better the way The sacred rock stays the same Each must walk to know their way When not all ways are known Walkabout will test and tell you What you need to grow Tongues and faces change in time But the Dreaming needs no mask It gathers all into the story That echoes distant past The Dreaming has lasted 10k years And with each story it grows But will we ever speak it's secrets Only the Dreaming knows Drink of water run for ages Dance to the tune of flame Know your story's never in vain The Dreaming keeps you safe For when you're gone the Dreaming stays Family The trees, they whisper What do they say? You look to me and smile “You’ll know someday.” You find a Yew tree You sit and sigh I hold your hand And just cry Hair of sunrise Mine of night All I remember Is your smile, so bright I sing there with you You drift away Show me, for I Know not the way Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother I watch in wonder As Magic breathes Wherever you are near Secrets you weave I return alone And at my door A little girl in rags Shivering cold The years, they leave us One day you know You take my hand and We walk one time more Her hair a sunrise Grass green are her eyes I give a secret smile For I know why Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother Teach me, Mother I’ll teach her, Mother I’ll teach her, Mother I’ll teach her, Mother Follow That Road If you're coming in the summer, you'd be better to split off on Thirty-Five A D There's the Starlight Drive-In Movie, on your left, just beyond the county line A D Right after that, you'll see two silos. One is silver; one is blue. D A 'Bout a quarter mile further, make a left onto Highway Forty-Two. A D E Then follow that road, cornfields just as far as you can see. A D Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me. A D If you're drivin' by in autumn, you should follow up the river to Bear Lake. A D That's the time to see the colors. There's an old covered bridge you'll want to take. A D Late at night, be careful. Just be sure to look for deer out on the road. D A And if it's early in the morning, sometimes it gets foggy. Take it slow. A D E But follow that road, sugar maples far as you can see. A D Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me. A D If you get the notion in December to drop by for just a day, A D There's that tiny little road that no one knows about. It's safe to go that way. A D It's up between two fields, so the sunlight melts the ice by afternoon. D A You'll see two houses by the fields. Someone's always there. If not, they'll be back soon. A D E So follow that road, snowdrifts just as far as you can see. A D Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me. A D BRIDGE You'll remember in the springtime how the puddles look like pieces of the sky, A D Fallen down by the roadside to delight any stranger passing by. A D The softness of the grass on Raven Hill where we counted stars at night-- D A You must know how much I miss you, and that any way you get here is all right. A D E Just follow that road, wildflowers just as far as you can see. A D Follow that road back through time, back through distance, back to me.

E A The Narrow Way I watch the rats as they run by I follow the sound as voices cry Men, women, young and old Trying to escape the cold The narrow way, no longer flat Drifting down to pull me back The cold it licks my every step Doesn’t matter how far I get The longest night That’s ever been The Narrow Way It pulls you in The floor it rises, I try to climb The ceiling cracks, I’m out of time The walls they tilt as I start to slip The darkness creeps as I lose my grip My legs can’t move the water so high The lights let go and so do I The darkness holds me deep and still Down ‘til I don’t feel the chill No light, no air No time, no sound We’re going down Into the Narrow Way Out Of The Light AFCG In the light of the full moon you came to me Showed me all your world was, and all I could be A Foundling child, embraced by a Fae But you never told me, “Say goodbye to the day.” I’d never see the sun that day Never seen the sun since that day You took up my hand, took me out of the light And together we wandered the ever twilight But your world was never mine, we knew this day would come It was always we two, now I’m down to one Gonna see the sun today. I wanna see the sun today It’s autumn leaves on fire, stretched wide ‘cross the sky But as I watch the twilight end, I can feel your good-bye I look to the wind, will I see you again? But the wind doesn’t answer, will it ever again? But I saw the sun today, yes I saw the sun today You defied your own people to take me in And for seven long years we remained in your glen Seven more years, a wandering dream From dragon to ocean, to our house by the stream Your sword would lead us, my staff just behind And years passed like stardust in the endless night I was daughter and sister, partner and kin You were father and brother, teacher and friend I awake every morn to the sun on my face And I still hear your laughter far away from that place And I wonder if you think of me in the soft summer rain And I wonder if you’d want me if I came home again Cause you’re worth the sun, any day And I’m coming home to stay End on A Sad Sing - Tom Newman I thought about the feeling of without you G D Em But the being of without is cannot able G D G The way of us within is now the custom G D Em And the living of without would be unstable C D G Beginning with the end is starting backwards G D Em And the front was such a happy time to start with G D G But the middle of the time was slipping down love G D Em And the living with a smile is now a fable C D G The ryme of life is not so very clever now Am 'Cos the love of being here is habit formed now And the saying of good bye is such a bad thing And the writing of the song is for a sad sing C Em Am Em C D D I thought about the feeling of without you G D Em But the being of without is cannot able G D G The way of us within is now the custom G D Em And the living of without would be unstable C D G The ryme of life is not so very clever now Am 'Cos the love of being here is habit formed now And the saying of good bye is such a bad thing And the writing of the song is for a sad sing C Em Am Em C D D Beginning with the end is starting backwards G D Em And the front was such a happy time to start with G D G But the middle of the time was slipping down love G D Em And the living with a smile is now a fable C D G She Moved Through The Faire My young love said to me, my mother won´t mind And my father won´t slight you for your lack of kine, And she stepped away from me and this she did say, It will not be long love ´til our wedding day. She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair, And fondly I watched her move here and move there, Then she went her way homeward with one star awake, As the swan in the evening moves over the lake. The people were saying no two were e´er wed, But one has a sorrow that never was said, And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear, And that was the last that I saw of my dear. I dreamt it last night that my young love came in, So softly she entered her feet made no din, She came close beside me and this she did say, It will not be long love ´til our wedding day. 4th position Single White Monster I've waited here long for someone to find me Am Dm G Am Hidden away in this maze of my own Am Dm G E They called me a monster and set chains to bind me Am Dm G Am Then left me to rot here alone Dm G Am I'm waiting for rescue, I'm waiting for company Am Dm G Am I'm waiting for someone to come without a sword Am Dm G Am Sure I have slain those who raised arms against me Am Dm G Am But, really?
