One day
I know
We'll find
A place of hope

Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me

Walk tight
One line
You're wanted
This time

There's no-one to blame
Just hold on to me

And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day there'll be a place for us
And the girl keeps singing

I walk
I wait
With folded hands
And lonely
I stumble
I stumble

With you
I wait
To be born
Again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me

And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
One day there'll be a place for us
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day there'll be a place for us
And the girl keeps singing

Now is
The time
To follow through
To read the signs

Now the
Message is sent
Let's bring it to its final end

And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
One day there'll be a place for us
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day there'll be a place for us
And the girl keeps singing

And I'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
One day there'll be a place for us
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day there'll be a place for us
And the girl keeps singing

One
Day
I
One day there'll be a place for us
Know
There'll be
A place
Called
One day there'll be a place for us

What a magnificent artist and wildly impressive performer. Inspiring, surprising, mesmerizing, exciting; in her words, in her music, in her collaborations, in her sources, topics, actions and stage shows. Thank you RP for including PJH in your mixes so regularly. Every single time, you make my day...

One of those albums that NEVER grows old. It's the best driving album btw. just set it on repeat and blast through those desert skies. Not to mention her other artistic endeavours with Seamus Heaney for example but I've been obsessed with Polly for 25 years.

Polly Jean is one of my absolute all-time favourite artistes! Been a loyal fan since the early 90's and she has still yet to disappoint. Thanks for playing her songs.

The photo was apparently taken sometime between 2002 and 2007, according to the photographer's Flickr page.  So she's at least 32 in the photo.  Quite a good song, by the way.

It is so irritating when the high register and the low register sound like two different people and there is no good transition across the middle. Also can't stand breathy singing. Breathiness is just plain bad. That's in the high register. The low register is more talking than singing. Maybe there are actually two singers?

Academic comment, yet irrelevant. Some music appeal to my brain, some to my gut. This one is in the latter category. Bottom line, nothing else. Peace out.

I think you can tell the musical taste by the songs rated by Tux... SAY NO MORE!! Rated stuff I wouldn't care to listen to ever again - in my lifetime a "10"... And what's wrong with sounding like U2 anyway? The Edge has more talent in his little piggy toe than most people have in their whole body. IQ and Music do not necessarily have anything to do with one another.
