Free Floating Love
01:46
|
|||
It’s a tale of free floating love
Love that has wings but no home to speak of
And it flies, high above buildings
In search of the light
Been growing since I was born
Stories I’ve heard, pictures I’ve drawn
No wonder, it’s heavy
And precious as gold
Love with no name
Yet as real as I’m standing here
Waiting for a place
To land

Road
02:59
|
|||
Loving by numbers
That’s how it felt
Pieces of paper
Kissed as though heaven sent
The thoughts in my head
You never once wanted to know
I guess you’d say the same for me
But you were the grown-up in this show
And you left me stranded
Out on the road
Is it any wonder
Nowhere feels like home?
And so am I like you?
Or miles apart?
You think with your head
Whilst breaking my heart
It’s all about arriving
And how high you can go
But I’ll take the journey
No matter how slow
You left me stranded
Out on the road
Is it any wonder
Nowhere feels like home?

Seamonster
03:42
|
|||
Woke up one morning
Truth was in my eyes
Bright and blinding
Even a fool would realise
Over my shoulder
The dream has gone
I can see
I can’t touch it
I want it so bad
First a whisper
Then it became a shout
Sucking up the oxygen
Drowning all the colour out
Over my shoulder
The dream has gone
I can see it
I can’t touch it
I want it so bad
Want it so bad
And from the deep
The Seamonster’s rising
It stirs in me
All the buried longing
In my heart
My heart
Over my shoulder
When it’s gone it’s gone
I can see it
But I can’t touch it
I want it so bad

Another Planet
03:00
|
|||
Would you take my hand ‘cos the seas are rough?
Would you kiss my head show me love’s enough?
Please don’t look at me like I’m from Another Planet
I don’t choose to feel this way
I never said my pain was the worst
But it’s on my chest like a load of lead
Please don’t look at me like I’m from Another Planet
Don’t you think if I could fix it I’ve had done it?
Who gave you
The right to choose
The view of me
You’d rather see?
Please don’t look at me like I’m from Another Planet
Don’t you think if I could fix it I’ve had done it?

Days
02:50
|
|||
There are days I only see
Hands holding
Eyes locking
Skin touching
Lips kissing
And those days, all I can be
Is head down
Hands in pockets
Heart heavy
Feet dragging
We’ll are meet Lonely
Sometime in our lives
What would it take
Not to run, not to hide?
We’ll all meet Lonely
Sometime in our lives
I want to greet it
With my heart open wide
Wait for those days I rise above
Life giving
Peace loving
Free flowing
All knowing
No box ticking
Pigeon holing
Dream making
Boundary shaking
Days, days, days
Dream making days

Deep Space Hibernation
04:25
|
|||
She's a robot out in space
Been sleeping for two whole years
Resting her metal
Conserving energy for what lies ahead
Deep Space Hibernation
That's the name
Deep Space Hibernation
Nursing the flame
Fire in my soul
Has been burning so low
I'm leaking like a sieve
There's no joy in me
No love to give
Deep Space Hibernation
Is what I need
Deep Space Hibernation
Sounds good to me
It's not that I want life to stop
It's more I'd like to get off
And maybe if I buy some time
I'll get back my peace of mind
Today is the day they wake her up
And cautiously they wait
To see her fly
Chasing comets
'Cross night skies
Rosetta
Time fleeting
Stay
Rest your bones
Sometimes it's too much
Deep Space
Rest your bones
Don't want to go home
When you're tired
Curl up inside

Best Friend
02:56
|
|||
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
But they don’t say how long you have to wait
And what’s the point of growing all those muscles
When the one you really need’s about to break
And all the while the wheels of life keep turning
And I don’t want to be one to complain
But it’s taking all my strength to just keep swimming
This one goes out to those who feel the same
Can’t go over
Can’t go under
Can’t get round it, no
The only way is through
While you’re travelling
Won’t you show yourself
A little kindness
Be your own best friend
Your own best friend
They say the grass is greener like it isn’t
And I’d love the chance to lie down in your field
But I’ve had all I can bear
Of staring over there
I’ll water my own grass ‘til it grows
Water my own grass ‘til it grows
I’ll be my own best friend

Sanctuary
03:30
|
|||
I had lines carved on my heart
Words on my lips
No place to say them
Of arms aching to hold
A child on my hips
And you, knew
You gave me
Sanctuary
You gave me
Sanctuary
The water was rising
I was quiet
Silenced by shame
Out in the cold
Nose pressed to the glass
Watching their lives
The story unfold
And you, you knew
You gave me
Sanctuary
You gave me
Sanctuary
The water was rising
I have found a place
To rewrite the story
With grace
You gave me Sanctuary
You gave me Sanctuary
You gave me Sanctuary
Water is rising
Water was rising

Somewhere New
04:11
|
|||
There was a time
When I would do most anything
To change
The air I breathed
And every choice
Every left and right and sweet goodnight
I whispered
Haunted me
Like a player in a casino game
I was bargaining with fate
A little drunk
A little late
And the mist is clearing now
And I think I see the way
And it’s leading somewhere new
That’s ok
I leave behind
The things I didn’t know I didn’t need
Along the way
Travelling light
I can run and chase the sun
Depending on the day
Sometimes I take a look behind
Just to see how far I’ve come
And I’m not the only one
And the mist is clearing now
I think I see the way
It’s leading somewhere new
And that’s ok
And I still get lost sometimes
When the light is dim
The branches brush my face
And I hear the fear within
And I still get lost sometimes
Then the mist is clearing
And I think I see the way
It’s leading somewhere new
Yeah the mist is clearing now
And I think I see the way
It’s the road to somewhere new
That’s ok

The Best Is Yet To Come
01:33
|
|||
We’re not young
We’re not old
And the rest is waiting
We hold on
We let go
And slowly, slowly we grow
And I see the storm
Rolling over
And here in the sun
I believe
The best is yet to come
