The maze of your heart
May lead your love astray
A trail of crumbs
Food for birds of prey
Summer seeds
The cards reveal what may
The maze of your heart
May lead your love astray
Where'd your love go
Now that you've found that your lost?
The maze of your heart
Filled with precious blood
A ship to the shore
Northern star above
Flowers and weeds
In the constellation's glow
Will you find your way out?
Only you will know
Where'd your love go
Now that you've found that your lost?
II/ SILVER TEARS OF RAIN(MY DARLING DEAR)
My darling dear cries silver tears of rain
Beneath the darkness of midnight skies
A love so deep, I could die
Beneath the darkness of midnight skies
Oh my love
Yeah yeah my love
Oh I'll testify!
III/ STAR GAZING
No I can't sleep at night baby
'Cause every dream I have is of you
No star gazing
'Cause my wishes won't come true
Your love's gotta hold on me baby
Oh no I can't let go!
Your love's gotta hold on me baby
Of my heart and soul
IV/ FALL OF THE SUMMER HEART
Ooooh
Your summer love got me high
Never thought we'd say goodbye
Till summer disappeared...
In a lightning thunder clap
We took the long road back
Met her in the house of the ocean rain
She's going to find a new lover
Going to start again
Ooooh we sang
Love will tear us apart
In the fall of the summer heart
Summer disappeared
V/ SHE DISAPPEARED
What took me so long
To write you a song
With proper heart and soul
The hit and the miss
Sorrow to bliss
Clapping our hands like this...
Bah ba ba ...
She disappeared
It's crystal clear
That silver tears are melting in the sun
Ooooh
VI / VICTORIA (MISS INDIA)
She appeared
At your window
Autumn night, the northern light
Aglow (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Victoria (oooh la la la)
Victoria (oooh la la la)
Flown from her cage with the wind and the rain
And the sun on her wings
She is free
Victoria (oooh la la la)
Victoria (oooh la la la)
VII / LOST AT SEA
Midnight empire
Haunted hymns
Sparrow singing
Skipped a heartbeat
In a minor key
I'll surely love you forever
But our hearts are lost at sea
VIII / A GHOST OF MYSELF
So here we are, what's it going to be?
Going to take the long road back to the sea
A ghost of myself yeah it's plain to see
And all we've got left dear
Is you and me.

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot

XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
