Driftwood

Time imitates life, I synchronize, adjusting
Floating in and out of the tides
Like driftwood, weightless and dry
Life provides a steady decline
A minute has soaked up a moment
Time imitates life if I waste it
It never was mine
Out of air I come to the surface
Swallow myself a new breath of purpose
I can't drown, not when I'm living
I can't drown, not when if I'm swimming
Time imitates life, I synchronize I'm swimming
Floating in and out of the tide
Like driftwood, weightless and dry
Weightless and dry
Out of air, I come to the surface
Swallow myself a new breath of purpose
I can't drown, not when I'm swimming
I can't drown, not if I'm living
Weightless, weightless, weightless
Weightless, weightless & dry...

Into The Night
03:54
|

|
Standing at the door, someone cried for more
Looking at the light, nervous from the fight
Filling up with sand, heavy was my hand
Heavy were the words, the fury of a bird
Walked into the night, worthless to the core
In a dress that felt too tight,
The only thing that wants to hold me anymore
Into the night
Like a stone to touch
You don't touch so much
Another talking head
You never hear a word I say
Walked into the night, worthless to the core
In a dress that felt too tight,
The only thing that wants to hold me anymore
Into the night, another empty street
Burdens in my head, beasts at my feet
I walked into the night
Cut me down to fit me in
Make me lose so you can win
This downward spiral I am in
I got myself to blame for it
I walked into the night, worthless to the core
In a dress that felt too tight
The only thing that wants to hold me anymore
Into the night, another empty street
Burdens in my head, beasts at my feet
Walked into the night, walked into the night
Walked into the night, walked into the night
I walked into the night

Ghost Road
07:14
|

|
The road, is haunted
With ghosts, time gone by
They lie, and linger
As I go by
A ship is waiting to take me home
A light is shining, leading me on
I'm told of places
We go when we go
The past, golden faces
Steal away to distant shores
A ship is waiting to take me home
A light is shining, leading me on
Archangel Michael, standing by the door
He calls to me, I cannot go

June

The coldest day in June
Wishing for the sun
A love that went to soon to its grave
You are the only one to bring
The yellow of the spring that heaven made
Build it, it will come
This is what they say
This is what they say when faiths gone out to play
All the wishing of this world
Could never empty me of what's to be
With all of my love I will take the road back to you
With all of my love I will take the road back
Falling from the trees
Coming down in leaves
Autumns here already we are three
We are the lonely ones the selfish breed
Thinking that ourselves is all we need
Oh, you and me forever and the sea
With all of my love I will take the road back to you
With all of my love I will take the road back
In the morning, day is dawning
Shaking past regrets and lovers debts from weeks before
In the morning reality comes dawning
And I'm seasons gone a road that's drawn
That leads away from you
Somewhere it would seem
Lies a life that lived in dreams
Another turn to take and I will take it,
When all desire is purged and every urge is urged
I will be free
Oh, you and me forever and the sea
With all of my love I will take the road back to you
With all of my love I will take the road back to you
With all of my love I will take the road back to you
With all of my love I will take the road back

For The Moon
05:03

|
I don't want to ache with you
Past reveals, hidden truth
A stratosphere, of love and fear
Made of things that aren't real
Oh
I want to let go of us
The way that it was
Cos the soul that you know
Is swimming in gold
And it's more than you say,
It's more than I say,
More than we feel,
What we know is real,
Tears for the moon,
And a heart when it's starting to take
I want to be here with you, new
Let the ghosts drift away forever
And it's more than you say,
More than I say
More than we feel
What we know as real
Tears for the moon
And a heart when it's starting to take
Long, long ago
A child caught a bird in mid flight
She didn't want to let it go
But in the end she knew it was right

Edge of Joy
03:58

|
He got lip, she got hip
He goes down low
She couldn't go
Oh that poor poor boy
How he took you to the edge of joy
And there he knocked you over
Got you high like you could've died
This boat is going to sink
If you don't start to think - baby girl!
You gotta take him by the hand
Make him understand you gettin' off his shit tonight
He'd steal the dimes
From a dead man's eyes
He'll give you five minute love and look like it too him by surprise
Oh the poor poor boy
How he took you to the edge of joy
And there he knocked you over
Got you high like you could've died
This boat is going to sink
If you don't start to think - baby girl!
You gotta take him by the hand
Make him understand you gettin' off his shit tonight
My desire needs detail
My desire needs detail
Oh that poor poor boy how he took you to the edge of
Joy poor boy how he took you to the edge of
Joy poor boy, took you to the edge of joy!

Dovetails
04:16
|

I saw you today, your face looked out of place
Softly turning
I thought it would rain, but the clouds just went away
Left us burning
All of it, all of it I want to take
All of it, all of it I want to take
I felt just like a bird, that flew too far away
Couldn't find its way back
When you lock it up it's grace
When you know it out it's not
Who determines that?
All of it, all of it I want to take
All of it, all of it I want to take
And this is how it is,
Up against the rest,
We find it hard to fit,
Like dovetails
Wake up to the wicked city
I'm coming to I see it clearly
The faces change but the words all stay the same
Can't take it back it's much too pretty
I fall into the ugly city
For me and you, there is no turning back
And this is how it is,
Up against the rest,
We find it hard to fit,
Like dovetails

Love Come Down
04:05
|
|||
|
Your eyes look the kindest I’ve seen, in a while
The softest they’ve been, making me smile
I’ve been away,
Maybe I’ll let a little love come down
Tonight
Let a little come down, mmm
Gets cold here this time of year
Then again all year round
Nothing warm about a lover torn from more secure ground
I’ve been away, but maybe I’ll
Let a little love come down
Tonight
Let a little love come down
I know it’s time.
I’m tired, exhausted from hearing myself think.
Where’s the new moon when you need it?
The old moon’s still full and conceited
Oh, this is how I see it, I need it.
I need it.

Breathe easy
Breathe easy
I am captured
Eyes opened
When I climb upon that silver moon
I notice what I'm feeling
When the cog starts turning in my mind
Burning for a reason
When it doesn't stop
And I find I've lost all feeling
When it last I can
I find it all repeating
I want to come down
I want to come down
Under water
Silent space
Breathe yes I oughta
Peace instead
When I climb upon that silver moon
I notice what I'm feeling
When the cog starts turning in my mind
Burning for a reason
When it doesn't stop
And I find I've lost all feeling
When it last I can
I find it all repeating
I want to come down
I want to come down
Oh
The light it slowly dies
And to my surprise
Everything shines
Everything shines
Nothing erased
Memories of that place
Where both of us shine
Both of us shine
We're still shining
We're still shining
