She's Gone
03:40
|
|||
|
You crossed that line after all this time
You nearly lost your mind, you prayed
But what's it for
When she's walking out the door
Says she wouldn't take no more
And you're blown away
This evening she's leaving
There's nothing to say
All the times she'd pleaded
Needed more than you gave
And she would cry her tears
And you'd deny her fears
And every time you'd just carry on
But she's gone
But you should know it's time for her to go
She won't be on her own cos love waits
And your disguise, the tears on the inside
The light that's in your eyes
It won't burn away
This evening she's leaving
There's nothing to say
All the times she'd pleaded
Needed more than you gave
And she would cry her tears
And you'd deny her fears
And every time you'd just carry on
But she's gone
This evening she's leaving
There's nothing to say
All the times she'd pleaded
Needed more than you gave
And she would cry her tears
And you’d deny her fears
And every time you’d carry on
And you'll disguise your tears
And you'll deny your fears
And given time you'll just carry on

Sunshine
03:37
|
|||
|
Here comes another day
Like another wave upon this stormy ocean
Leaves me lying on the shore a little black and blue
But I’ll be still unbroken, still unbroken
All these demons in my head
As I was standing on the edge I prayed, yeah
And my heart was full of doubt and fear
But something whispered in my ear to say, yeah
Go and seek out the sunshine, I don’t want to be torn again
And no matter how high the tide, I can weather the storm again
But if I knew what I know now, would I want to be born again
In the deep of the dark night, would I want to be
Lost my way I don’t know how
Trying to find a shelter til the rain is over
But look the sun is coming out, there’s another day here
Now the night is over, the night is over
Falling down a rabbit hole
Is nothing when your heart and soul sighs, yeah
And the northern lights and redwood trees
It’s all a state of mystery this life, yeah
Go and seek out the sunshine, I don’t want to be torn again
And no matter how high the tide, I can weather the storm again
But if I knew what I know now, would I want to be born again
In the deep of the dark night, would I want to be

About Everything
03:21
|
|||
|
The night is young and we've got something to talk on
Something you wanted to say
But you're feeling tired and the pain is bad in the evenings
Nothing seems to take it away
But I'll hold you tight
You'll sleep tonight and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
So don't you cry
I'll be your light and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
It's a deep blue sky and the stars are sequins in water
The moon is still and immutable
In the silent night the birds are sleeping in the moonlight
Everything is nothing but beautiful
And I'll hold you tight
You'll sleep tonight and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
So don't you cry
I'll be your light and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
Now I'll stoke the fire cos I know you're tired and you're colder
Feeling like you've nothing to hold onto
But it's time to sleep so ease your mind and be peaceful
An angel is looking down on you
And she'll hold you tight
You'll sleep tonight and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything
So don't you cry
She'll be your light and in the morning
We'll talk and laugh about everything

Every time, yeah yeah yeah

Let Me Be
03:27
|
|||
|
It’s coming round again
Another wave to make me drown again
But I must be strong and carry on
But I can’t breathe
But it’s not real, no nothing I can see
And how I feel, no no-one knows but me
And I will plead, but it just won’t let me be
I want to hide away
Give me wings and I would fly away
But it’s in the stars, it’s in my heart
And I can’t leave
But it’s not real, no nothing I can see
And how I feel, no no-one knows but me
And I will plead, but it just won’t let me be
But it’s not real, no nothing I can see
And how I feel, no no-one knows but me
And I will plead, but it just won’t let me be

Stay
02:48
|
|||
|
Life is never easy
Life is like a game
I was never good at playing
At staying sane
But I don't care
I'm not scared anymore
Cos I've been there
I've been pinned against the wall
So I was hoping you'd stay
Cos I was going nowhere
Faster than a plane
Everybody's lonely
In the pouring rain
But I don't care
I'm not scared anymore
Cos I've been there
I've been pinned against the wall
So I was hoping you'd stay
Here come the demons
Calling out my name
There's nothing like the feeling
Of being sane
But I don't care
I'm not scared anymore
Cos I've been there
I've been pinned against the wall
So I was hoping, I was hoping
I was hoping you'd stay

How To Conquer
04:49
|
|||
|
How to conquer, how to blight
It takes one man to start a fight
We could end it and change the world
Today, a new day
They've got our minds, they've got our hearts
They turn day into the dark
Cos they want us scared, they want us meek
So they do anything they please
Some have nothing and that ain’t right
And their anger will start a fight
With the hundreds who rule us all
Today, a new day
They sell our parks, they sell our streets
Every forest, every sea
They know our lives, they know our stars
They know everything we are
All the hunger, all that pain
Could we ever just start again
See the wonder of it all
Today, a new day
They make it fast, they make it cheap
But it's nothing that we need
They take our thoughts and they take our deeds
They own everything we see
They've got our hands, they've got our face
They've got our feet, they've got our hopes
They've got our fears, they've got our dreams
They've got our minds, they've got our hearts
They've got our feet, they've got our hopes
They've got our fears, they've got our dreams

Dreaming
04:02
|
|||
|
All these things I have been
All these lives I have dreamed, oh yeah yeah
And all these signs I have seen
They tell, they’re telling me
To sit myself under a tree
Face the demons chasing me, oh yeah yeah
I won’t fight and I won’t flee
They kill but they won’t kill me
When life breaks my heart
It'll make me wise
From darkest night, the sunrise
And I know how it feels to be dreaming
I open my eyes but I am still sleeping
And I want to be wise
I want to know what is real
Know how it feels to stop sleeping
And not be dreaming
For such time as I can breathe
I’ll be as kind as I can be, oh yeah yeah
To be wise is to be free
Oh death won’t bury me
When life breaks my heart
It'll make me wise
From darkest night, the sunrise
When I know how it feels to be dreaming
I open my eyes but I am still sleeping
And I want to be wise
I want to know how it feels
Know what is real
With the sun up in the sky and clouds passing by
I'm still sleeping, sun streaming
And I'm dreaming

Northern Star
04:19
|
|||
|
Life, oh life, I wonder what’s the point but then you say
There’ll be time to wonder, time worth waiting for
There’ll be something more to make you stay
But how much more will make me mad
Will I lose my head up in the clouds
I’d better find a way of being
I’d better stop myself from seeing
Snakes and soldiers in my mind
Cos none of them is a friend of mine, I pray
Cos I’ve been lost, I have strayed
And I’ve been lonely as the northern star
As dawn begins to fade
And I’ve been tired and afraid
I’ve been wandering down a dead-end road
Only fools will take
Life, oh life, caught inside a tunnel, there's a train
That will come and crush my feet upon the ground
I need some wings to fly away
Cos I know the story's in the stars
And I know it’s hope that’s in my heart
I’ve gotta keep the walls from spinning
I’ve gotta keep myself from feeling
Overwhelmed and in despair
Cos the sun will rise again out there someday
But I’ve been lost, I have strayed
And I’ve been lonely as the northern star
As dawn begins to fade
And I’ve been tired and afraid
I’ve been wandering down a dead-end road
Only fools will take
I may be broken and blind
But I know I’m gonna find my way
And it’s not easy to be strong
But I know I’ll carry on, I’ll stay
We’ve all been lost, all have strayed
We’ve all been lonely as the northern star
As dawn begins to fade
We’ve all been tired and afraid
We’ve all been wandering down a dead-end road
Only fools will take

The Only Thing
03:00
|
|||
|
We were lost in a dream
Even though we'd not been sleeping
We were running on empty
Even saints have their demons
And those dangerous dark feelings
We all hide so desperately
And I've been blind
But now I can see this time
The only thing we've got
Is the love we gave
And the hope we'll be free someday
Like a lock with a key
It was all we ever needed
Feeling safe meant constancy
But the world is all changing
And our plans we rearrange them
Trying to find security
And I've been blind
But now I can see this time
The only thing we've got
Is the love we gave
And the hope we'll be free someday
Hope we will meet again
Hope we'll be free someday

Another Wild World
03:23
|
|||
|
It's on the news, they say we're out of time
We're losing everything and it's our design
And you won't find another wild world
This ain't a case where you can walk on by
Cos no-one's safe when there is nowhere to hide
And you can't buy another wild world
We walk on by, there's nowhere to hide
We walk on by, there's nowhere to hide
We looked in space, it seems we're on our own
There's no planet out there that we could call home
We just don't own another wild world
We walk on by, there's nowhere to hide
We walk on by, there's nowhere to hide
We're out of time, it's our design
We're out of time, it's our design
And there is not another wild world

My Way Home
04:14
|
|||
|
I'm lost again, I thought I'd been so close to home
But now I'm far away from everything
My eyes are tired, my hands are holding emptiness
And hope has left me for the coast
She won't be there when I need her most to stay
And darkness wraps its loving arms around me
Takes me down the charnel ground again
I want to live, I've much to give, I try to say
But silence is the only sound
There's no-one here to save me now
I pray to the gods of everything
Leave a light on for me
So in the night I can see my way home
Won't you wait up for me
It won't be long til I see my way home
Life is like a lesson I have never learned
When to stop and when to take good care
I paint a smile and hope that I'll be wise someday
But I don't know anything
I don't even know what I'm thinking
Don't give up, just fill your cup with mindfulness
Take another breath before you start
The voice inside my heart is quiet and kinder now
But all the voices in my head
Shouting that I should be dead
I pray to the gods of everything
Leave a light on for me
So in the night I can see my way home
Won't you wait up for me
It won't be long til I see my way home

A Light To Follow
03:25
|
|||
|
Give me all your pain
Put your mind at ease
And hear that silence
In the air you breathe
Cos you are beautiful and brave
Facing all that sorrow
But you will find some peace someday
And a light to follow
Give me all your grief
Don't forget to breathe
And feel that silence
When you're cut so deep
Cos you are beautiful and brave
Facing all that sorrow
But you will find some peace someday
And a light to follow
Cos you will fly away
When you get your wings
You'll see that silence
Is in everything
But you are beautiful and brave
Facing all that sorrow
And you will find some peace someday
And a light to follow
