Running Out of the Black © 2019
Music & Lyrics by Kevin Morrow
Saying my goodbyes, I slip into the night.
All my bridges burned.
Rolling by the days, sleeping through the haze,
I know that I must go.
And when I’ve climbed up to the top and the battle’s over,
I’ll call for you and you will come
With all our children and we’ll nestle in that heaven.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re never going back.
We’ll push the doors wide open and when all the chains are broken
We’ll never have to hide over on the other side.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re running out of the black.
Never going back.
We’re running out of the black.
Two accordions front the orchestra.
A choir of black angels, they’ll lift us right up high
Out of the demons’ reach until we’re out of sight
And we’ll be coming down off that mountain
In the sunshine and into the light we will go
With all our children and we’ll nestle in that heaven.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re never going back.
We’ll push the doors wide open and when all the chains are broken
We’ll never have to hide over on the other side.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re never going back.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re running out of the black.
We’re never going back.
We’re running out of the black.

Harry’s Coming Back © 2019
Music & Lyrics by Kevin Morrow
You paved the way.
You saved the day.
Spent your pay on us.
Made sure we were safe.
Took your burdens to the grave.
Sacrificed so much for us.
I wish I could tell you, but I think you know
You are in me now and I am in you.
What once was new is getting old
Then getting young again.
Continuing this journeying
On the road of many bends.
I’m always thinking about you.
You never left.
I hear you talking to me in everything that I do.
Harry’s coming back. Say hello to Harry.
Harry’s coming back. Say hello to Harry.
Harry’s coming back. Say hello to Harry.
The older I become, the more times I return
To that peaceful oasis in my mind
When life was simplified,
Guitars, five-a-side, Subbuteo on a Saturday night.
I wonder what was on your mind
Things I never knew.
Ghosts of your childhood
Took their toll on you.
Harry’s coming back. Say hello to Harry.
Harry’s coming back. Say hello to Harry.
Harry’s coming back. Say hello to Harry.

1981 © 2019
Music & Lyrics by Kevin Morrow
Sun coming up from across the bay.
Short walk home.
I feel okay.
Don’t have to go to work till Monday.
Ken up to his knees in the water.
Even the cops were laughing.
“Come on boys, on your way.
Tomorrow’s another day.
What’s that you say?”
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Paddy had a greeting for everyone
“Right ya geek ye”.
Sheamy had a laugh like a loon
Howling at the moon.
Outside Chics, there was Marty
Pleading diplomatic immunity:
“You can’t arrest me under the stars and stripes.
I know my rights. I know my rights”.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Smiley, Heaven and me
Drank some mushroom tea.
Headed up to the woods
To watch the Autumn leaves.
Ended up in the Hollywood Bowl.
Jimmy said he wanted to shoot the dog.
Laughed so hard,
Don’t think I’ve laughed that hard,
That hard ever since.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Oh, oh, this song is taking me back home
Taking me back home, back to 1981.
Back to 1981. Back to 1981.
Back to 1981. Back to 1981.

October Moon © 2019
Music & Lyrics by Kevin Morrow
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
Winter is calling.
Soon snow will be falling.
Oceans are sighing.
Rivers are crying.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Chestnuts are scattered.
Leaves torn and tattered.
They lie there like old dreams
Broken, shattered.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
Shine on, shine on, shine on.
Shine on, shine on, shine on.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.
October moon, don’t leave so soon.

Your Shadow Will Always Be With Me © 2019
Music & Lyrics by Kevin Morrow
Seems like only yesterday
I had you by my side
Riding on my motorbike
Laughing all the while
Life was good in Holywood
I remember how I felt
When I heard the news
Like a dagger thrust into my chest
I couldn’t move
We didn’t have much time till Valentine’s
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Wherever I go
Hills, valleys or mountains
Driving rain, sleet or snow
North, South, East or West
I’ll be taking you there.
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Winter has come and gone
So has the Spring
I’ve got your photograph
And your wedding ring
Your sweet voice
Whispering in the breeze
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Wherever I go
Hills, valleys or mountains
Driving rain, sleet or snow
North, South, East or West
I’ll be taking you there.
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
Your shadow will always be with me
