The Prince of Heaven's Eyes

It's All Up Now**

It's all up now,
The day is gone,
The evening sun’s shadows following me,
The weather’s warm,
It took so long
To be lonely now and all surrounded,
But Killkee hasn’t changed,
For the warm west winds blow over,
And maybe in the morning
I’ll go to Clifden fair again.

Oh, when morning’s home from England,
With her yellow patent shoes,
And some of the latest fashions,
Make me rather look amused.
And somewhere up in Galway,
Her parents wheel away,
So her father tell us,
At church the other day.

Oh, but Killkee hasn’t changed,
For the long lost years grow longer,
Maybe in the morning,
Tomorrow will bring a change.

Hold on, hold on,
What’ll I do,
I don’t want to end up in a battle stew,
So I packed my bags and buckled my shoes,
Yeah, that’s what I’ll do,
I’ll make some money, see the world,
A lot of new lessons have got to be learned,
And maybe I’ll be lucky with love, love, love…..

It’s all up now,
The clearings show,
The rainbow’s got its colours all around me,
I’m on my way,
This brand new day,
To find the way that fortune cares to show me,
Oh, but Killkee will never change,
For the warm west winds blow over
And maybe, wishful longing,
I’ll come back to you again someday.



Prince of Darkness

Hey, young boy, come ride with me,
And I will show you wonders of a fairy dream,
Now harken you all to what I say,
“Cause I can brighten up your lonely, lonely day.

Day and night, I’m always right,
And I can understand you’re in a terrible fright,
Now come along, and don’t be shy, to the underworld,
And I will show you secrets that haven’t been unfurled,
And all my friends will dance and sing,
Along the wings of love, of love.

We all bend up and down we go,
Dancing with the witches in a fantasy show,
We’ll see the fairies and the goblins too,
Dancing around in their high-heeled, high heeled shoes.

Don’t go under that tree or you will see,
Bad luck and misfortune will come to be,
Now I tell you, follow me now before the clock strikes twelve,
Or you will find yourself turning into an elf,
And all your friends will laugh and say,
What’s happened to you,
You changed, he’s changed.

Dingle dow, dingle dell,
Watch out for the Prince of Darkness,
Or he’ll take you to hell,
Now harken you all to what I say,
“Cause he can brighten up you’re lonely, lonely day. 



Annie Austere

I sat there painting the girls,
At my window pane,
In case you haven’t noticed,
But everyone’s the same,
But they haven’t got the heart to tell me,
“Cause they realize that I might feeling blue,
“Cause they realize it’s all because of you.

 I sat there telling fortunes,
Through my crystal ball,
In case you haven’t noticed,
But my back’s against the wall,
But they haven’t got the heart to tell me,
“Cause they realize that I might feeling blue,
“Cause they realize it’s all because of you.

Annie Austere,
With your head in the air,
Now won’t you come down,
To see I’m around,
Don’t you hear,
Now with that look in your eyes,
You’re just telling me lies,
We’ll just kiss on the cheek,
At the end of the street,
There tonight.

That she’s so beautiful,
I’ll tell you the reason why,
She’s got a wonderful figure,
And a couple of bright green eyes,
She’s the belle of all the fellers,
And I’m right going to declare,
She has nothing with one of them
But some of them had all,
I’ve taken your virginity,
And say I’ll make you mine,
With a wedding ring on your finger,
And your everlasting smile.

Together we’ll be happy until the end of time,
So I’ll walk you to the altar,
And there we can take our vows,
And then you will be mine.

Together we’ll be happy until the end of time,
So I’ll walk you to the altar,
And there we can take our vows,
And then you will be mine.



Knowing You

I’d love to really know you,
And maybe get to show you,
All my inhibitions over you,
But as it is, we parted,
Almost broken-hearted,
Never really started knowing you.

But, oh, to go just once and stroll,
Where we may quietly remain,
And where the leaves of forevermore,
Bend slightly in the rain,
To press against the rolling cloud
And skip around the sun,
To gaze throughout eternity,
And dream a dreamer’s world.



Crystal Brook

I looked toward the silver ceiling,
And gazed down on the crystal brook,
And, wow, there came the strangest feeling,
What’s that to me, I took a look,
Oh, I can only be what I can be,
And that can only be, that can’t be me.

He took me to a lake all barren,
And there I thought I had a dream,
A whirling pool up in a vision,
What’s this to be, to be to me,
What’s here, it is there, it is everywhere,
And you and me are one,
And all we do is turn, turn.

He took me to a floating season,
And then I dreamed I sailed away,
Across the universe of reason,
In swimming worlds tomorrow waits,
Today I’m living in the sunshine,
Splashing through the blue,
And thank you, God, it’s true.



Seaward Sunset

Seagull, seagull,
Sailing all over the ocean,
Seagull, seagull,
Sailing all over the sea.

Seagull, seagull,
Sailing all over the ocean,
Seagull, seagull,
Sailing all over the sea.



The Perfect Wish

Wish upon a rainbow,
And all your dreams will come true,
Waste not your time,
“Cause time won’t wait for you,
Sing a joyful song,
Then you can’t go wrong,
When you wish upon a rainbow,
Then all your dreams will come true,
To you and you.

So she’s reached the rainbow’s end,
And he buries his pot of gold,
He leaves us all in mystery,
But more will be told,
For if you close your eyes and wish,
Go blow your favourite friend a kiss,
To save your own eternal bliss,
You’ll find, you’ll find, you’ll find,
You’ll find that all your dreams will come true,
To you.

For if you climb the highest peak,
Or cross the deepest stream,
And set your heart upon a star,
Until you find your dream,
You’ll stumble across a wishing well,
The clearest words will heaven spell,
And no one but you will be living to tell,
You found your love, your love is found,
And all your dreams will come true.



Prince of Heaven

Now come round there,
And lend an ear,
There’s a story to be told,
About a man,
Who roamed this land,
With this fortune in a pot of gold.

He traveled here,
He traveled there,
Learning day by day,
A thousand secrets,
A thousand sorrows,
But he walked in dismay

So he left them all behind,
Said, “I must be on my way,
To where magic waters paint the sky,
Day by day, day by day”

Come follow him,
Along this trip,
And quickly you will find,
That all your worries,
And all your sorrows,
Are left away behind,
From darkness hate,
To Annie’s love,
A Celtic shape divine,
With crystal blue,
And light red new,
And everything so subline,
And so up there he sings his song.

“I must be on my way,
To where magic waters paint the sky,
Every day, every day”

The rainbow in the sky,
Puts color in your eye,
And no one can deny,
It’s there for you and I,
“Cause live is for living,
Living’s for giving love.

The rainbow in the sky,
Puts color in your eye,
And no one can deny,
It’s there for you and I,
“Cause live is for living,
Living’s for giving love.


** Stephen Houston noted on his web site the misspelling of "Killary" as "Killkee" on "It's All Up Now". From Stephen Houston's web site: "Fruupp's third LP 'Prince of Heaven's Eyes', song 'It's all up now', lyric 'and Killarey's still the same, as the warm west winds blow over'. The printers got it wrong. It should have 'Killarey', as in Killarey harbor Connemara in the west of Ireland. The song title 'It's all up now' refers to a picture which can be seen in Faith File, hanging behind the Doc in the segment; 'Forum for your reaction' Real Important, Right? but this has been a trivial raging argument on Fruupp's tribute website."
