V1. I can hear all their voices as I walk down the road, leading me back to my home. It’s the ancestors calling and singing our tune as I’m dancing a slow waltz with you. Chorus.
Turn me around at the end of the day. We’ll be dancing by the stars and the moon. The ancestors calling and singing our tune, as I’m dancing a slow waltz with you.
V2. You stand on the cliffs, watch the sun going down as the light on the sea fades away. I reach out and touch, now I’m holding your hand as I’m dancing a slow waltz with you. Chorus.
V3. Walking through history, dark clouds and the rain. The stones standing waiting alone. They look to the future, one foot in the past, as I’m dancing a slow waltz with you. Chorus.
V4. So let’s drink to each other, as I’m holding your hand. Sharing this moment with you. The ancestors calling and singing our tune, as I’m dancing a slow waltz with you. Chorus.

V1. Who’s going to miss you when you’re gone. Who’s going to miss you when you’re gone. You’ve cared for young and old, coming in from the cold. They’re going to miss you when you’re gone.
V2. Who’s going to miss your heart and soul. Who’s going to miss your
heart and soul. For the rich, for the poor, you keep an open door. They’re going to miss your heart and soul.
Bridge. You gave them hope, you took their fear. You gave them a shoulder for their tears. You care for young and old, coming in from the cold. They’re going to miss you when you’re gone.
V3. Instrumental.

V4. Who’s going to miss you when you’re gone. Who’s going to miss you when you’re gone? We, who want it free both for you and for me. We’re going to miss you when you’re, we’re going to miss you when you’re, we’re going to miss you when you’re gone.

What Am I to Do

V1. What am I to do, when I see you fade away? What am I to do, when I can’t get you to stay? I’d try to give you time, to see if you could still walk down the line. I’d show you the way.
V2. What am I to say, when I can’t get through to you? What am I to say, to those who love you too? I’d whisper in your ear, the day will come when it will all be clear, you’ll show us the way. I’d whisper in your ear, the day will come when it will all be clear, you’d show us the way.
V3. Instrumental.
V4. What am I to see, when our tears are falling free. What am I to see, when you can’t get close to me. I’d look into your eyes, and see the clouds are parting from the sky; you’d reach out a hand. You’d tell me sing that song, the one that lifts the heart when things go wrong. You’d sing along too, you’d sing along too, you’d sing along too.

V1. Go tell Aunt Mary, she’s needed on the phone. Go tell Aunt Mary, she’s needed on the phone. Her time has come to take him right back home.
V2. Go tell Aunt Mary, she can pick him up at eight. Go tell Aunt Mary, he’ll be waiting by the gate. He’d like to stay but knows it’s getting late.
Bridge. We all hope when the sky is grey, the wind will blow the clouds
away. The sun will shine and take you where the sky is always blue.
V3. Instrumental.

V4. Go tell Aunt Mary, his time is coming soon. Go tell Aunt Mary, you can tell it by the moon. Tomorrow night he’ll be singing a different, tomorrow
night he’ll be singing a different, tomorrow night he’ll be singing a different tune.

Clouds

V1. Birds blown across the sky. Wings out they catch the eye. They turn as they’re blown, flying by. Mist rolling in again. Rain falling down again. The hills are no longer in sight.
Clouds come, clouds go. The hills are no longer in sight.
Chorus. Let’s just see what tomorrow will bring. Let’s just sit here and wait. Put some money on sunshine ahead. Let’s just sit
here and wait.
V2. Moon brings the tide around. Sea Eagles flying down. Catching the last
summer light. Dawn brings a purple glow. Swallows sitting in a row. They’re catching the last summer light. Clouds come, clouds go. They’re catching the last summer light. Chorus.
V3. Instrumental.
Final chorus. Let’s just see what tomorrow will bring. Let’s just sit here and wait. Put some money on sunshine ahead. Let’s just sit here and, let’s just sit here and, let’s just sit here and wait.
