Keith Pearce I find the authenticity, musicianship and melodies of The Wards to be incredibly satisfying. So glad to see another album. Favorite track: Keep A Light On.

Keep A Light On 03:21
lyrics
Keep A Light On The more that I know The more that I understand Everything you did for me Every now and then I see a little light come on Like a shelter in a storm Early warning, early dawn You’re a lighthouse, keep your light on Any moment, anywhere You’re a lighthouse, keep your light on Forever shining Shining like the dawn Giving light for all to see You’re someone to rely on Everything to everyone Always there for me Chorus

The Hundred Line 03:41
lyrics
The Hundred Line I remember being all together at reunion time Pointing out the family memorabilia Down The Hundred Line Drive-by’s in a busload full Of an Auntie or an Uncle tor two They’d earned the right to say And do the things they do Good days, couldn’t get much better Just because of you Love counted nothing else would matter Just because of you Home grown on a kitchen table Fit for a King and I So long so much so many Disappearing in the blink of an eye Chorus I can hear you calling Hear you calling out to me From the family tree That’s when I hear you calling Driving down The Hundred Line Down The Hundred Line with you It’s all I want to do That’s when I hear you calling That man had it all together In a style of his own Some stick 'n' some stone, some feather In a style of his own Handshakes, no smoke and no mirrors Guaranteed a look in the eye Right now never left for later Never left wondering why Chorus (x2) I remember being all together Together at reunion time Down The Hundred Line That's when I hear you calling........

Walls 03:37
lyrics
Walls Driving down to skies so blue In the heart of a highland hue This time next year it’ll be my home Going to make some new roots of my own Walls were never high enough To keep you out, or to keep you in.... Now so many miles away By car two hours, by foot two days You know I love you and I miss you so Nobody knows better nobody else knows This time next year it’ll be my home Going to make some new roots of my own Walls were never high enough To keep you out, or to keep you in..... Tracing back your family’s history You get unstuck at two hundred years You wonder what your background was Before you get a little older and it disappears Some blood a little water mixed in with bone Gonna make some new roots of your own Walls were never high enough to keep you out, Walls were never high enough to keep you in….

Haunted By Your Love 03:19
lyrics
Haunted By Your Love So many people in a day So many people go your way Faces we may, never see again I dreamed I saw your face again Felt your face upon my skin Always in my memory I always loved your Southern sense of style You’d make me run a mile To be close to you You always said I’d miss you when you’d gone You were right all along It’s true what you said Always there when I came home Now I’m homesick when I’m home My memory’s haunted Haunted by your love You always said I’d miss you when you’d gone You were right all along It’s true what you said You asked me would I shed a tear for you Cried myself black’n’blue Always there when I came home Now I’m homesick when I’m home My memory’s haunted This house feels haunted My memory’s haunted haunted by your love

Let's Stay Together 04:39
lyrics
Let’s Stay Together Easy I dream, knowing that you’re dreaming beside me Easy I breathe, knowing that you’re breathing beside me And you know my dreams we dream together And you hear me breathe let's stay together Easy I lie, knowing that you’re lying beside me Easy I pray, knowing t that you’re praying beside me Then I feel you move, we move together And I hear you pray let's stay together I know your good has gone right through me Alright alright you’re the one who’s shown me Then I feel you move, we move together And I hear you pray, let's stay together I know your good has gone right through me Alright alright you’re the one who showed me Alright alright you’re the one who knows me Alright alright you’re the one who loved me

Silver Lining 03:29
lyrics
Silver Lining Can I make an observation, You’re never going out of style You’ve always been an inspiration Always go the extra mile I dedicate this song to you Chorus Beaten down broke courage unspoken Shimmer and shining you’re the silver lining When I look in your eyes, I see a miracle Shimmer and shining, you’re the silver lining I bet you didn’t get much warning Before it came crumbling down If it's any consolation We all wear a thorny crown That’s why I dedicate this song to you Chorus Chorus.... When I look in your eyes, I see a miracle Shimmer and shining you’re the silver lining

Feel At Home 03:54
lyrics
Feel At Home You can stand beneath the sun Playing your violin To each his own And there’s still enough for everyone You’re sure to find me on the water in the winter Do you still need me to listen too (to) What’s wrong little sister Can’t you find What you’re looking for Right on brother You’re sure to find me on the water in the winter But I still need you to listen to (too) And there’s nothing more I care about Than making you always feel at home There’s nothing that I care about More than you I heard you say, to your friend Jane That life’s a gamble You may be right, you may be wrong But that’s the thing Maybe you might lose, or you might win So what’s the problem Do you still need me to listen to I love the way you always hope You’re always trusting I love the faith you always have in everyone I love the way you live today Before you live tomorrow I love the way that you make do And there’s nothing more I care about Than making you always feel at home There’s nothing that I care about More than you

What A Difference 04:03
lyrics
What A Difference Waking up in the morning glad you’re alive Like everybody in your town Just trying to survive You know you only get a lifetime Making your way And the difference is so little Between night and day Maybe the time has come to mend our lives Maybe the time has come to mend our ways Chorus What a difference your love Has made in my life (x 2) It's more than gold and much more than silver When I look into your eyes I see battered and blue Flip a coin, heads or tails What have you got to lose You have days when you think you've got no reason to live But you could never lose as much As what you have to give Maybe the time has come to mend our lives Maybe the time has come to mend our ways Chorus What a difference your love Has made in my life ( x 3 ) It's more than gold and much more than silver It can't be sold it runs free like the Clutha Well I know I've been told But I'm feeling it for the first time

Whatever You Want 04:32
lyrics
Whatever You Want (Lighthouse and the Storm) Go and take the bull by the horns Forget about the filling of forms It’s easy to do When it’s pushing and pulling you Go and catch the boat while you can Put some of what you catch in the can It’s easy to do When it’s pushing and pulling you Whatever, does it take to love love one another Could it be, would it be, fate Could it be honour, or is it just love Chorus (1) Whatever you want in this world Whatever you need in this world I will be there I will be there for you, in this world One day we’re the water then we’re the blood One day we’re the river, then we’re the flood One day we’re together tthen tattered and torn One day we’re the lighthouse And then we’re the storm Whatever, does it take to love love one another Could it be, would it be, fate Could it be honour, or is it just love Chorus (2) Whatever you want to be Whatever you want to dream Whatever you want to do I’ll be there for you (Repeat) There’ll never be a borderline I’ll be here for you now and down the line......

Don't Worry 03:15
lyrics
Don't Worry You don't, have to worry, have to hurry You have my love You won't, ever have to make up We will never break up You are my love You’ll live, through trials and tribulations The joy of celebrations You’ll have my love First thing in the morning Late into the night Did everyone a favour Kept faith in the ones you love The ones you love Hiding from the limelight But we know what you’ve done Did everyone a favour Kept faith in the ones you love The ones you love You don't, have to worry, have to hurry You have my love You won't, ever have to make up We will never break up You are my love You’ll live, through trials and tribulations The joy of celebrations You’ll have my love You’ve gone and sparked a revival A fight for survival For everything good
