Early Morning

Early morning and I’m walking
Through the valley one summer's day
In the meantime, a little me time
'Til the blackbirds sing again, and they’re calling out my name again
As the sun shines through all the gaps between the trees
Come and take me please, come and take me
For I have sinned lord, and I can’t win lord
Without my brothers standing right here next to me

Birdwatching
04:18
|
|||
Sometimes I look back upon my days at school
Heavy in the knowledge, what my teachers said was true
Despite my best efforts, these were the happiest days I knew
Life sows a bad seed and bids you look to the ground
While visions and fears of rising seas abound
There’s nothing like the sky to ease a restless mind
Nature soars up around me and flees towards the sun
I try to follow, pretending, like I was young
Remembering days spent birdwatching, learning the songs they sung
But now I must wait, and hope for it to be
I too will live so vicariously, always hiding
Living life through the lens of another
I’ll turn to one of the world’s stranger creeds
Remove myself from people and their needs
To waste and starve ‘til I see and understand
But now I must wait, and hope for it to be
I too will live so vicariously, always hiding
Living life through the lens of another
What’s wrong with birdwatching?
What’s wrong with being alone?

Jonathan
03:37
|

I wanna be seeing the world, sailing the seas
But all my dreams, have you at the end of the road with me
Nine minutes apart, same hospital ward, before dark
We were born and sworn to be best friends 'til the very end
Oh and Jonathan, where would I be if you’d never been
Giving life such a positive spin, I really don’t know
Oh and Jonathan, you can never fail to make me smile
We’d be fine even if we were miles, and miles apart
You’re close to my heart
You wanna be in the shows on T.V.
And I’m still sure, that’s exactly what you’re gonna get some day
But until that day we’ll stride together
With different things in mind, we’ll help each other out, that’s what we do
Oh and Jonathan, where would I be if you’d never been
Giving life such a positive spin, I really don’t know
Oh and Jonathan, you can never fail to make me smile
We’d be fine even if we were miles, and miles apart
You’re close to my heart

Tumbleweed
05:27
|
|||
Every now and then, distraction prevails
The tumbleweed sails,
And we wait, and we wait, and we wait for its passing
'Til it’s well out of sight
And there’s no need to hide
Anymore, anymore, anymore
There’s no need now, to put out the fire and flames
Can’t you see now, the tumbleweed plays its own game
Tumbleweed, it blows right past and leaves a mess behind
'Til we all see it go by, we try to find it, but it knows where to hide
Tumbleweed, you’re supposed to be off-scene
But every now and then you come along, just as you please
T. U. M. B. L. E. Double U. Double E. D.
Tumbleweed, if you’re to pass by why not stick around?
In the corner of my eye it seems you’re
Always found, always found
Always found, always found
Always, always, always, always
Always, always, always, always
Tumbleweed, it blows right past and leaves a mess behind
'Til we all see it go by, we try to find it, but it knows where to hide

Cold Hands
04:51
|

It’s a bittersweet irony
That leads us all astray
And underneath, at night you pray
To keep the darkness at bay
Oh life deals out its deck of cards
To each and every heart
Wandering heart
Hopeless heart
Hopeful,
Cold hands, warm heart
Wish he’d known it from the start
Cold hands, warm heart
It was over from the start
Cold hands, warm heart
Cold hands, warm heart
Oh life deals out its deck of cards
To each and every heart
Wandering heart
Hopeless heart
Hopeful,
Cold hands, warm heart
Wish he’d known it from the start
Cold hands, warm heart
It was over from the start
Cold hands, warm heart
Cold hands, warm heart

Hummingbird

Looking back to where it all began
My life was in your hands
You kept me warm you kept me safe
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Wouldn’t have it any other way
You used to dress me just like you
But now I’m nearly twenty-two
And you say look how fast you’ve grown
Oh, how the time has flown
Oh, how the time has flown
You used to talk about the sky
Red at night, shepherd’s delight
I strain my neck to look above
Oh, how beautiful it was
Oh, how beautiful it was
And now we laugh and talk each day
You’re always there when times astray
You keep me warm you keep me safe
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Wouldn’t have it any other way

These Days Roll Slowly
03:54
|
|||
Our legs bruised and feet blackened
We tumbled out onto the moonlit beach
The shingle to ourselves
The gently hushing waves soon stilled our speech
And our love, it grew, that day
We lay back in the water
Our bodies as still as time seemed in the night
We drift away from the city
The lonely cries that fuel the yellow light
And our love, it grew, that day
Our time’s as precious as the summer rain that falls
And jewels upon the wings of a bird that calls
Into the night,
There’s something to live for,
There’s something to love
And while under the sun
The days roll slowly, this time is ours to lose
And will we still be together,
When the leaves they fall and the sun shrinks like a bruise?
And our love, it grew, that day

Misguided Lover
04:07
|

Misguided lover
How your eyes water in the wind
Close to the river
So close but she'd never jump in
And in the woods I see your ghost,
Your silhouette
Lost in the darkness you’ll find her
Searching for what could have been
Feel the heat of the sun
Wait for night to fall
It’s only just begun my misguided love
Think of who we were then
And what we’ve become
Oh how you’ve grown my misguided love
They say she wears
Her heart on her sleeve too easily
But would you rather
Feel loved once, or be like me
And I can’t say what I don’t know
To be true
But they say time waits for no one
And I can’t make it wait for you, oh, oh
Feel the heat of the sun
Wait for night to fall
It’s only just begun my misguided love
Think of who we were then
And what we’ve become
Oh how you’ve grown my misguided love, love, love

'Til Daylight
04:55
|
|||
When the wind shakes her window
And the rain, the rain falls hard
When the colours in the sunlight
Shrink away, leave her unscarred
Speak to her as though she were
An angel fell from grey, washed out skies
Hold her tight until the daylight fights the night
And keep her flame alight
If she’s weary and aching
And she can’t find the will to remain
Keep her close, keep her standing
Lead her forwards through pleasure and through pain
Look at her as though she might
At any second’s notice fade from sight
Hold her tight until the daylight fights the night
And keep her flame alight

Lovers' Paradise
07:09
|
|||
When I see your face
The world stops spinning round I lose my place
When I hear your voice
The other sounds I hear just sound like noise
And I lie by your side
And tell you not to be afraid
And I say don't fear me
I won't hurt you
Like he did before me
Won't you give us time
To spend in Lovers' Paradise
When you give me a chance
To show I mean no harm
When I hold your hand
I know just where I am just where I stand
When I say your name
My conquered heart is far too hard to tame
And I lie by your side
And tell you not to be afraid
And I say don't fear me
I won't hurt you
Like he did before me
Won't you give us time
To spend in Lovers' Paradise
When you give me a chance
To show I mean no harm
Lovers' Paradise, Lovers' Paradise
Lovers' Paradise, Lovers' Paradise
Won't you give us time
To spend in Lovers' Paradise
When you give me a chance
To show I mean no harm
