A Stairway To The Stars (named after a certain ballroom era song) is the 2nd Caretaker album. Made in 2001, it is more of the same of the previous album.
Each Today Doesn't Lead To A Tomorrow
To save our souls from bitter shame and mourning
Thou dearest lord base treachery and scoring
From lure of gain or gold, save us we pray to thee
Least we betray thee
Nights are cloudy, days are cloudy
Since you went away
Been downhearted since we parted
I can't go on this way!
Things are cloudy, oh so cloudy
Hear me while I say,
"Need the kissin' I've been missin'
To drive those clouds away!"
The Lamb is dumb before His shearer
In patient love His lips are sealed x2
In patient love His lips are sealed, in love
In patient love His lips are sealed
O teach us Lord, all wrath for bearing
Thy calm endurance
Thy calm endurance meekly sharing
For malice nought but love to yield x2
And Jesus came out
And went, as He was won't, to the Mount of Olives;
And His disciples also followed Him
And when He was at the place
He said unto them
"Pray ye that ye enter not into temptation"
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil

Robins and roses
And maybe a tree
A few morning glories
A cottage two stories high
Robins and roses
And your love for me
To live on forever
And my love to never die
A place where neighbors may drop in
And smile when they see
An armchair to flop in
We can add to their glee serving afternoon tea
Mid robins and roses
And then life will be
A poem by Kipling
While troubles go rippling by
It's all forgotten now, the trouble and the pain
Forgotten, every word I said
Forgotten, every tear you shed
We're still in love
It's all forgiven now, we're back in Lover's Lane
And though we wandered from our way
The corner's turned and we can say
We're still in love
For you and I, and everybody
Must learn to give and take
We'll find, like everybody
It's worth it for happiness' sake
It's all forgotten now, we're happy once again
Our trouble gone beyond recall
And making up is best of all
We're still in love
When shadows fall and trees whisper day is ending
My thoughts are ever wending home
When crickets call, my heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning home
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin unpeeping one by one
Night covers all and though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will never take me home
O Jesu Christ
Thy Cross doth call me
O Jesu Christ
Thy Cross doth call me
For thou did'st give
Thy life for mine
Thou did'st give
Thy life, for mine
O Jesu Christ
Thy Cross doth call me
For Thou did'st give
Thy life for mine
Jesu Christ, Jesu Christ
O Jesu Christ
Thy Cross doth call me
For Thou did'st give
Thy life for mine
For Thou did'st give
Thy life, for mine
Thy Sacred Heart
For me is breaking
Thy Sacred Heart
For me is breaking
For Thee my love at last is waking
For Thee, my love is waking
My life for ever more be thine x2
