Three Times By Dawn 03:42
lyrics
buy track
You wanted the lights out While the wine stayed open Three times by dawn By dawn All the while the wind And the rain played on You wanted to stay While the coffee went cold Three times by noon By noon All the while the radio And the news played on You wanted your piece And the difference remained Three times by dusk By dusk And regret played on You wanted back in And wounds stayed open Three times by night By night All the while the lust And the hope played on

Who Here 02:31
lyrics

Who here Remembers The storm? It blew away Some time ago Who here Remembers The war? It moved onto Another land Who here Remembers The fire? It burned out The ashes gone Who here Remembers The words? The silence came From deep inside Who here Remembers The time? It flew away So long ago Who here Remembers The names? They passed by Or moved away Who here Remembers? Who here Knows? Who here cares Of what comes And goes? It comes and it goes It comes and it goes

You’ve had no hard time in your life So you better keep Living You gotta keep living You been down no Hard road on your way So you better keep walking You gotta keep walking You’ve not run Outta luck in your game So you gotta keep rollin You better keep rollin That’s the way That life knows The blues sky It comes and it goes It’s only those blues That show you the way It’s only the clouds Hiding blue days You’ve felt no ill feelings inside So you gotta keep trusting You gotta keep trusting You had no bad news Come your way So you gotta keep listening You better keep listening You’ve not come to your End of days So you better keep living You gotta keep living

Carry Me Away 03:27

I feel the warmth I touch the mist When the sun declines The rest of its day I too crave the rest Carry me away Carry me away I hear the sirens I reach their isles As the sea abandons The glistening bay I crave the rest Carry me away Carry me away

Unlock the door Leave the light on Things look great I’m onward bound Get the place ready I’m coming round I’m coming round Kill the lights Turn the music down Things feel bad Can’t bear the sound Get the place ready I’m coming round I’m coming round Fire it up Get your party on Things sound cool Love’s to be found Get the place ready I’m coming round I’m coming round Open the gates My day has come Things are done I’m leaving this ground Get the place ready I’m coming round I’m coming round

Nothin To It 03:17
lyrics
buy track
There were knives in my mind Chasing thoughts like foe It was nothing There was nothing to it Nothing to it It was an idea Just one of Those ideas There were thieves in my heart Stealing all I love It was nothing There was nothing to it Nothing to it It was a feeling Just one of Those feelings There were furrows in my brow From digging up my dead It was nothing There was nothing to it It was a thought Just one of Those thoughts There were stains on my hands Showing what I’d done It was nothing There was nothing to it It was a deed Just one of Those deeds

This House 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Ever since You went away I've been staying out Night and Day I don't wanna stay at home Don't feel like being alone This house don't feel like a home This house don't feel like a home This house don't feel like a home It don't feel like home Aint no cars On the lawn Streets are empty The curtains drawn Leaves blanket the avenue This place is empty without you This house don't feel like a home This house don't feel like a home This house don't feel like a home It don't feel like home Aint no sprinkler on a Summer's day The streets are empty No kids at play I walk along those lonely streets How did we part? How did we meet? This house don't feel like a home This house don't feel like a home This house don't feel like a home It don't feel like home

Truth and History 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Truth and history Will never be friends One will endure One must make amends One is certain The other depends The carry the past to the morrow Black and white Both fade to grey They each hide a darkness That gives night its day One contrasts the other And leads us astray They colour the path of the rainbow Right and wrong Are one and the same One claims the victory One lays the blame They stand opposed In an eternal game They brandish the fate of the millions You and I both Share the same blood Our peoples together Through tempest and flood History and touch Are nothing but mud Of the earth we must tend together

Words 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Say You find yourself Thinking Of a time When All the people Gathered round Tell Your story and Remember The old days When Life was better And you lived That way Words Do you know what they mean? Words You’re using words you don’t mean Speak Of the future Imagine What to say When You are on stage And the crowd Wants to stay Ask For the answer Questions The old ways When You look back on The past and Better days Words Do you know what they mean? Words You’re using words you don’t mean Shout Through the quiet Shatter come what may When You are silenced The word Never stays Words Do you know what they mean? Words You’re using words you don’t mean

My Rose 04:00
lyrics
buy track
I pick you my rose. I love it when you bloom. I love it when you weep. Petals, like moods. So vibrant, so fresh. Yet there are days When your bud stays closed Your head bows and stoops A forlorn leaf on an autumn tree Waiting with uncertainty Things must come to pass Like tears and blooms As we walk down life’s road Seasons come and go When we awaken to the spring In deepest winter sleep Recall we are all blooms All by ourselves, only a bloom That comes and goes We’re only a bloom that Comes and goes And I I pick you I pick you My rose
