Darlin don’t
02:50

Here we go again back to the start
Same old fires we can’t put out
Dance round the talk, silence remains
Same old Shame and disgrace
Same old tears staining your cheeks
Staining your cheeks
Darlin don’t cry
I’m back to the window
Your back to the dark
Back to the heartache the same as before
I don’t know the answers, riddles remain
The same old stuff now for days
It’s easy to see when your looking in
When your looking in
Your not living it
Darlin don’t cry
Quit your whining boy
Catch yourself on

When your body gets cold
Need someone to warm your bones
Need someone to call you home
No one I know
No one I know
When your home ain’t your home anymore than skin and bones
Wrapped around a helpless hope
I know what I know
I know what I know
I see your lit silver lining
I see your red river ride in
I see your love
Your hand to hold
How do you know
Whether to stay or go
Hide h
Or fall on your sword

My love

Oh you know why I never said those words believe me
Cuz they can’t be unsaid
And the truth always sticks in my throat believe me
More than a lie ever did
And old wounds they open up
Far too easy
I don’t blame your mum or your dad I just hate them
Oh my love it’s time to go
I know how little you sow and I sow
Oh my love it’s time to go
Oh I know that the hurt won’t fade too easy
And your blue eyes fill when your alone in the evenings
Don’t sulk me out don’t shut me down cuz you need me
Oh my love it’s time to go
I know how little I sow and you sow
Oh my love it’s time to go

Pirouette
04:10
|
|
||
I said all these things I know I did
I wish I could take them all back again
Fool in the storm my weakness
Not for nothing my bitterness
Oh I know that I cause you trouble now
There’s a love for you that is forever now
Take my hand my port in the storm
I’ll lead you forever now
Meet me there on the ledge
I’ll watch you pirouette
While everything falls
Not for nothing now
All love for us is gone
Bitterness remains
All I’ve got is the word on the page
I’m bringing up gallons of blood
My memory is shot
Bones are getting old
Heads getting weary
Dreams are getting cold
I fell for the lie, hook line , lie lie sinker

Sinks like a stone
03:28
|
|
||
I remember the stone, the one that was thrown
Years ago years ago
I remember the sound as it hit the ground
Yeah I know yeah I know
We sink like a stone or soar like an arrow
And in your heart I don’t know the start
I’m betting on us , let that be known
Yeah it’s known , yeah it’s known
And for all of us , this is my home
Yeah it’s home yeah it’s home
We sink like a stone or soar like an arrow
And in your heart I don’t know the start
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
A place for all the family a place for weary bones yeah
I ripped the angels wings and stuffed them in my skull
For every single day that was never less than wonderful
Oh I’m never gonna change from the top of my lungs
I’ll scream it from the stage I’m not the only one
I’m not the only one
Yeah I don’t know the start.
Noone
nowhere
never come

Terra Firma
03:04
|
|

Pick your feet up, put em down
Terra firm, solid ground
Forward motion like the ocean
Always pushing always going
One last song to save us all
For every stick and every stone
Every tear and broken bone
And all of this in spite of you
When I can’t think of a single decent word to say
I’ll give you my hand
There’s desolation in his smile
Tears that last for miles and miles
But there’s a new life for you round the corner
Waiting for you
Follow that light from your eyes
From photos we took mesmerised
There was so much energy , light and love
And all of it from you
When I can’t think of a single decent word to say
I’ll give you my hand

Dry the river
04:00
|
|
||
Listen up, while I say, I don’t regret the family we made
But I don’t want to stay , cold on the mountain in May, the mountain in May
There’s no time for hiding no more
There’s no time for hiding no more
And we dried the river
Raw
And we dried the river
Routines suffocate
Like a noose you lovingly made
Your hand cold on my neck
Your hand cold on my neck
There’s no time for hiding
No more
And we dried the river
Raw
And we dried the river

See you around
03:42
|
|
||
Sun has fallen from the sky
Left a trail of blood red behind my eye
Let’s not pretend we were still best friends
I know we let it slide
I just figured you were off somewhere
Living your life
And the future was bright
But now your gone and I don’t know why
Can I make this pain all mine?
But I’ll see you around won’t I ?
Surfed some crowds, kissed some girls
Found love on the other side of the world
But it’s not enough, it’s all just stuff
As I let my rope unfurl
It’s not that I don’t get it , you know I do !
And not just me but others do too
If you say it out loud you would find that out
And we can share this pain around
But I’ll see you around won’t I
Look at the world outside
Outside your window
I’d look at the world outside
But my eyes can’t seem to carry on
Seem to carry on
See you around
Around , round I’ll see you around won’t i ?
