You Won't Break Me
02:57
|
|||
|
All of the spaces we shift dance around
Til the silence breaks
Let our feet guess the beat
Of the rhythm played
The ghost of a song somewhere softly stays
My heart hears a cymbal ring
My head feels a bass beating
My soul sleeps and waits for the sound
It keeps safe
You won’t break me
All of the changes I list move around
But still need to make
Meet me in the minefield
For no one’s sake
There’s body and brain, blood and bones at stake
If you ever know peace you will
Feel a release but still
Found something soft for sharp hurt
To stick in
You wont break me
Don’t let love, don’t let love
Stop You
Don’t let love, don’t let love
Stop You. Block you .Knock you
All of the time wasted thinking that
I’m not good enough
For me or for you
And for all that stuff
If love is the answer the question’s rough
Repair what need’s fixing
Or replace the need for things
Keep planning and packing for trips
You don’t take
You won’t break me
Don’t let love, don’t let love
Stop You
Don’t let love, don’t let love
Stop You. Block you .Knock you

Here round the park again
Steer clear of cars and bends
When my when my when my
Kids grow too old to hold hands
Laugh like we invented time
Grass on your jeans and knees and mine
When my when my when my
Kids grow too old to hold hands
When my when my when my
Kids grow too old to hold ..
Hands, I’ll still hold your heart and
My grip won’t let go
And when plans stand
Still, I will
Love you more big little
Throw your wishes to the wind
Grow your list until the end
When my when my when my
Kids grow too old to hold hands
Know the calm before the calm
Show your gentle tender hand
When my when my when my
Kids grow too old to hold
Hands, I’ll still hold your heart and
My grip won’t let go
And when plans stand
Still, I will
Love you more big little
Goodbye bad byes
Goodbye
Bye baby blue eyes
Turn back time

I'm In Need
03:29
|

You were
The crack in the cloud the
First sip of wine the
Second before sleep
The state that I’m in
I’m in need
Are you blind, can’t you see
I’m in need
I’m not
Killing time
It’s thought
I want to cut off
How come there’s no law
To stop me feeling what I feel
To stop me being me
I’m in need
And if I found meanings in
Feelings I drowned in
Where is the freedom
Freedom comes
Freedom goes
Where you’ve been
Thinking
I know the word's out now
And words have consequences
Too late to take back now
I need strength to face the faces
Without you
Where am I free to fly to
Take time
Take time from my mind
And I’ll try unwind
Rewind to your line
And sow a new word like a seed
Change my reply
I’m in need
There’s no such
Thing as perfect gloves
The wolves wool was warm love
I felt a part of
The truth stuck and stitched at the seams
I stitched myself up
I’m in need

Desire Lines
04:01
|

|
I’ve walked this path too long
Desire lines
My hidden heart lit up
Earthshine
Too many doors unopened
Too many steps left right behind
The same things, the same things
The same things are troubling me
I’ve watched you wear your heart out
Desire lines
I could try fill your cup up
Earthshine
Too many words unspoken
Too many starts stopped many times
The same things, the same things
The same things are troubling
Bring it the open
Out into the surface
Give it space
And it will shine
I want the same things you want
Desire lines
The love deep down inside
Earthshine
There is gold in you
The glow of your mine soothes my mind
The same things, the same things
The same things amaze me
I want what you want
We’re wanting

I’m going to try
And be free
I’m going to try
And be me
Swim crawl walk run
Ride drive fly
Swim crawl walk run
Ride drive fly
Why look for highs
Digging deep
Why look for highs
Down beneath
Still stall talk shun
Hide miles high
Still stall talk shun
Hide miles high
And I may lose you
I’ll choose to not lose me
And If I lose you
I’ll choose to not lose me
Light leaves the sky
But your eyes meet the sea
Light leaves the sky
But your eyes never see
Find bright white warm
Sun shine signs
Find bright white warm
Sun shine lines
Lie under overcast skies
Lie freely
Lie under November skies
Honestly
Inside outside
Upside downside light
Inside outside
Upside downtown nights
And I may lose you
I’ll choose to not lose me
And If I lose you
I’ll choose to not lose me

Make something of
The nothings and what was
I know where I fell
And will fall again
I stepped on cracks
My whole world collapsed
And when no one could put me
Back on track again
You had the knack
Of making the earth seem flat
And drawing a map on the sand
You were my pocketful of not so good
Musings and doodlings
A pocketful of love
A pocketful of love
A pocketful of love
Can fuel a lifetime of brooding
Breathe. Brood (or brood…breathe)
Make something of
The nothings and what was
I know where I fell
And will fall again
Plectrums and paperclips
Loose coins and torn strips
Of old bits
Numbers and business cards
Of people I’ll never call
On purpose
You were my pocketful of not so good
Musings and doodlings
A pocketful of love
A pocketful of love
A pocketful of love
Can fuel a lifetime of brooding
Breathe. Brood
Make something of
The nothings and what was
I know where I fell
And will fall again

Slow Love

The hook’s in me
The hook’s in me
Slow love
Slow love
Light sighs
Bright eyes
Take time
Slow Love
There’s no beating heart that loves you
There’s no beating heart that loves you
There’s no beating heart that loves you
More
The book’s in me
The book’s in me
Slow love
Slow love
Thin lines
Rhymes shine
Take time
Slow love
There’s no beating heart that loves you
There’s no beating heart that loves you
There’s no beating heart that loves you
More
You took from me
You took from me
Slow love
Slow love
Thin lines
White lies
Take time
Slow love
There’s no beating heart that loves you
There’s no beating heart that loves you
There’s no beating heart that loves you
More
I’d kiss the footprints on the floor that brought you
To my door I’d chase the wolves that haunt you

When Did I Get So Cold?
03:05
|
|||

When did I get so cold?
When did I get so cold?
You and me know
What makes the taste
Flavours of sadness
Let go and grow
If you find it
If you find it
I found it and let it go
When did I get so cold?
You and me know
What breaks what shakes
Sadness to madness
Let go and grow
If you find it
You can find it
I found it and let it go
And I could do
And I should do
But it’s easier not to
Are you tied up in knots too
Has the weather in you made you cruel
When did I get so cold?
You and me know
It takes a break
You can bend sadness
Let go and grow
If you find it
If you find it
If you find it show me the way home

Nothing but time
Nothing but time can take its toll
On souls and minds
Feel nothing going your way
I know that you’re afraid
The strong can fade and break
The strong can fade away
I know the light
I know that light can’t shine bright
Every day and night
Lay your head down to rest
You’ve earned the right my fried
The strong can fade and break
The strong can fade away
Every picture you paint’s untitled
Every feeling falls short explaining
Every encouraging word
Sounds polite but absurd
No one knows that your world
Is fading
A church of prayers
a ship of saints and soldiers
Couldn’t save the day
The past has proved your strength
You sailed thru every test
The can strong can fade and break
The strong can fade away
Every picture you paint’s untitled
Every feeling falls short explaining
Every encouraging word
Sounds polite but absurd
No one knows that your world
Is fading
Every picture you paint’s untitled
Every feeling falls short explaining
Every encouraging word
Sounds polite but absurd
No one knows that your world
Is fading

Building My Ark
03:40
|

I fear there’s a wind
Coming my way, making me pay
I’m building my ark
Need time apart, follow the heart
Pair the best things for you
You rolling river
We’ll burn brighter than life
Don’t know where to turn
The river’s too deep, the mountain’s too steep
I'm building my ark
The old man is lost, to dreams in his sleep
Pair the best things for you
You rolling river
We’ll burn brighter than life
Can we just start it all again
Start over again
Can we just start it all again
Start over again
A song in the storm
You caught in your hand, made me understand
I’m building an ark
A testament to how you got me through
Pair the best things for you
You rolling river
We’ll burn brighter than life
Can we start it all again
Start over again
Can we start it all again
Build an ark again
Nothing here dear
Nothing here but love
