Walk On
02:37
|

|
Take root where you stand
Voice your command
Strike the hammer
To the chisel
To the stone
The Madonna spreads her cloak
Mercy shown
A sculpture carved
On a cherry stone
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Though love is gone
The dead moths on the wall
Could tell of it all
The dreams they smeared into dust
Dragons remain
But dragons can be slain
Steal yourself
And stare into it’s mouth
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Though love is gone

Next To Me
04:32
|
|||
|
And I won’t fade away
And I won’t dig a grave
Tell the haters that I’ve found something new
And the colours start to grow
And I’ll never walk alone
I have died and other obstacles removed
Next to me I believe in real love
And the pictures in my minds-eye manifest
Next to me I lead the way around the waters edge
And the flowers in the garden speak their truth
On the waves
On the water
Where the world splits apart
I’ll be there with you whenever I can
And the yolk separates
And you come back to me again
And the sunset lets us all begin anew
Next to me I believe in real new love
And the opening heart
Lets us dream again
Next to me I feel reverie
And our souls meld ’til they wander again
Next to me I leave the world
I leave the land I was always like a seal wife in the night
Next to me I reconvene
What a dream you are
And learn to be the candle burning through the night

This Is How We Sound
04:58
|
|||
|
Vibrations carry words and sound
All around this town
But we’ve failed to communicate since the birds returned
And I can’t form an orderly queue
Or stop myself from thinking of you
This is how we sound
We can weather
Together
Hey it’s alright
But the highs are too delicious
And the lows are too exquisite
And I don’t have resilience
I need to get me through
They’re brawling in the beer garden
I’m following the lives of friends
This is how we sound
We can weather
Together
Hey it’s alright
I don’t think I can clap tonight
Pour myself another wine
I miss my friends and family
Watch some fiction on TV
Never thought I’d need them so much
I spent so long avoiding touch
This is how we sound
We can weather
Together
Hey It’s alright
I wake up to more memories
And people that I used to be
And other uninvited guests
Who just keep hanging round my head
I mop the floor whilst you mow the lawn
And hold on tight whilst darkness comes
This is how we sound
We can weather
Together
It’s alright
Hey It’s alright

Belleville Sun
03:41
|
|||
|
Don’t say it’s over
When the day has just begun
Cast off your ghosts
And turn your face towards the sun
The Belleville sun
As I walk down the path
The echoes of a song
Remind me of some days gone by
I smile at everyone
In the Belleville sun
Walking through the cemetery
My shadow stretches tall
Their battles over
Now they own the sky above
And the Belleville sun
Eugene sits upon his gravestone
Wondering what to play
Abelard and Heloise
Watch Edith’s flowers fade
In the Belleville sun
I cross the bridge
Walk through the park
And watch the children play
And though I know the dark must come
I hold on to the day
And the Belleville sun

Inevitable
05:23
|

|
Oh Lord, will the sun keep rising
When I feel so alone?
Oh Lord, will the sun keep rising
When I feel so broken?
Tell me
We can be free
I don’t care anymore
About tomorrow
I’ll be overgrown with ivy
And forgotten like night
Hold me where they cannot find me
I’ll be safe in your arms
Kiss me
Be with me
I don’t care anymore
About tomorrow
I’ll live in a quiet suburb
On the road to unknown
Let the river carry my weight
And the stones in my shoes
I will leave it all behind me
Float above the roof tops
I will leave it all behind me
Will I be safe in your arms?

On And On
04:47
|
|||
|
We’re living in a moment
Step inside
We don’t have to own it
Just be kind
We can go on and on
And on and on and on
By natures side
On and on
And on and on and on
Let the spirit rise
We can breathe with the forest
We can be the tree
We can purify the ocean
We can be the sea
We can be the willow
The pine and the yew
We can be the Hawthorne
And the Rowan too
How will you know when you have enough
When you don’t respect the creation?
How will you know when you have enough?
No monopoly on salvation

And It Goes On
04:20
|
|||
|
Take me to the bus stop where you stood
Waiting for the bus to go to school
You were always running
Always late
You were always careless that way
And it goes on in time
And it goes on in time
Echos in the underpass with wine
Shivering whilst eyes and lips align
The ecstasy and terror of that kiss
No matter what’s to come
Always exists
And it goes on in time
And it goes on in time
Hush my little ones - what is your fear?
We were always destined to be here
Can’t explain with rhythm, rhyme or God
The only word I have for it is love
And it goes on in time
And it goes on in time
The only word I have for it is love

When The Leaf Falls
04:21
|
|||
|
When the leaf falls down
When the sun hangs low
When the candle burns
Time to let it go
In the silence
Breathe
In the silence
Breathe
In the shadows, peace
The sky is wide and blue
A slowing down of time
Time to be reknewed
What will come will come
What will go will go
All the lives we’ve lived
Everything that’s passed
Speak their bliss to me
Flutter from the branch
Reach into the ground
Reach into the ground
Let the soul stretch out
Deep within the land
Let the heart be healed
Take the mother’s hand
Power of the light
Power of the light
What will come will come
What will go will go
Stars. Earth. Sea. Space.

Lullaby
03:29
|
|||
|
There’s a pile of parcels by the door
Old leaves turning on the floor
If love should go astray
I’ll sweep your worries away
Well the clocks have all just melted away
And some folks say that it’s the end of days
If you should feel alone
I’ll help you get you back home
I’ll sing a lullaby
Take your pain
Make the sun shine through rain
Hold a mirror
To your stars
I am yours
Well I am yours and you are mine
Just ’til around the end of time
When things have come undone
I’ll help you get back home
I’ll sing a lullaby
Take your pain
Make the sun shine through rain
Hold a mirror
To your stars
I am yours
It never ends
It never ends

She knows
Only she can
She’s been waiting
Too long
Someday
Was like a samba
Now fate is pulling her round
With his sway
I know
I’m too afraid to show
The moon was waning
Too soon
I know
On a different page
But I can’t climb out of the frame
I’m in
Luna
Brings the half moon
On a sickle
And serpent I stand
You know
That I would do anything
That I would say anything
To see you smile
Please God
At least let me be
Our Lady of Little Victories
To the sound of the washing machine
Staring out the window pane
It looks like they’re building again
And the rooms are too small

Damask Roses
04:00
|
|||
|
I’ve waited for so long
Across the water
And now my hope is gone
Faded like damask roses
I’m not a citizen
Of anywhere
I’m not allowed to work
No home
Nowhere
I’ve been running for so long
Crossed so many borders
To kill or to be killed
Rebels, regime
No choices
They made me promises
Told me lies
Now the darkness calls
The rolling tides
I’m feeling so alone
Holding onto moments
I see my fathers eyes
In the darkness of the hotel room
Tell my mother
That I tried my best
All these feelings come
Can’t stop the waves
And now my hope is gone
Dying like damask roses
But once it was in bloom
Like damask roses
All these feelings come
I call your name
All these feelings come
Can’t fight the waves
I’ve been waiting for so long
I’ve been waiting for so long
Like damask roses

In My Dreams
03:54
|

|
Sunshine, cable-car, on holiday
Words fall out the cats mouth
Music plays
Water rising up
House is burning down
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my wedding dress I fly through air
Everything the same but slightly changed
In a world of blue
I can fly with you
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
Sanskrit whispers in the shopping mall
We are oysters in the swimming pool
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

Walk On

Take root where you stand
Voice your command
Strike the hammer
To the chisel
To the stone
The Madonna spreads her cloak
Mercy shown
A sculpture carved
On a cherry stone
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Though love is gone
The dead moths on the wall
Could tell of it all
The dreams they smeared into dust
Dragons remain
But dragons can be slain
Steal yourself
And stare into it’s mouth
Walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Though love is gone

This is used to be my breakup album. It's haunting and while, a breakup hurts, it doesn't make you feel nearly as much as this album does.
