Winter Back Home
03:58

Sunshines slowly, but i'm not so lonely here
Lightening is bolting, but it's not so scary here
Maybe it was the freedom I had to roam
Images of the snow flakes, it was winter back home
It was the loneliness encouraging me through
And it was the sights and the sounds and reassuring words from you
It was the birds and the cliffs and the flowers that were new
And when it all became familiar is when I knew
Things look brighter, if only slighter shades
Moonlights reflections, in time the connections fade
Maybe it was the music that we played
Or just our surroundings, they were different everyday
It was the loneliness encouraging me through
And it was the sights and the sounds and reassuring words from you
It was the birds and the cliffs and the flowers that were new
And when it all became familiar is when I knew
Daydream lightly of things that frighten me
Tears roll softly so no one can see
Oh the silence that we had to bear
amongst reflections they were everywhere
It was the loneliness encouraging me through
And it was the sights and the sounds and reassuring words from you
It was the birds and the cliffs and the flowers that were new
And when it all became familiar is when I knew

Hide and Seek
03:24
|

|
Take my hand and we'll be safe
Hide and seek's this game we play
It took forever and a day
But I found you a different way
Under stars an warm embrace
November fireworks displays
Something new that we can chase
And that will keep our fears away
We're back to front and sideways round
I'v always said love will bind me down
But the truth is, with these things i'v found
It's better when your feet don't touch the ground
The bottles break, the music plays
The conversations fight for space
So we'll look for a quieter place
Somewhere we can hide away
We're back to front and sideways round
I'v always said love will bind me down
But the truth is, with these things i'v found
It's better when your feet can't touch the ground
You know its better now
So much bigger somehow
But now we're more afraid
There's a fear that it will fade
We're back to front and sideways round
I'v always said love will bind me down
But the truth is, with these things i'v found
It's better when your feet can't touch the ground

Travelling Song
03:04

Sometimes I'd sit on Balmoral's shore and watch the sun casting its rays,
And I'd think of you as I looked at the moon
upside down trying to see its face
The storm clouds would cover the remains of two lovers
Sat entwined as we would be
The last of the light disappeared out of sight and I continued to look out on to the sea
Oooo I'v gotta keep moving on… cos' what is gone is gone
The loneliness would encounter for return of a shelter
With family and a place to stay
My travels in-between were no where near as clean
But good people I met out on the way
My thoughts of back home left my mind free to roam
But it's not something i'd swap for the sea
The people have their charm and my memories of the farm but them towns themselves are not for me
Oooo I'v gotta keep moving on… cos' what is gone is gone
Oooo and I'll miss you on the way… but i'll be back someday
I lay awake at nights thinking of the time I spent out here on this eastern coast
And soon it would seem as if like a dream when i'm moved and settled in back home
Oooo I'v gotta keep moving on… cos' what is gone is gone
Oooo and I'll miss you on the way… but i'll be back someday

The Lighthouse
04:44

We'll watch as the lighthouse shines on and on and on into the sea
And i'll follow your stories, you will never bore me with them in all honesty
We'll say what we're feeling these rules have no meaning to me… so why can't we?
Our heads are dizzy with the stars that we'd collect in our palms
And the pianos would play as we would both pray
For one moment to stop but the moments can stop like the lighthouse
It keeps spinning round and round
In the late afternoon the sun's replaced by the moon and the stars are shining free
Night lights under covers, story books and the lovers entwined so contently
And I remember the songs the guitars play along with the twinkling lights in the trees
Our heads are dizzy with the stars that we'd collect in our palms
And the pianos would play as we would both pray
For one moment to stop but the moments can stop like the lighthouse
It keeps spinning round and round
Open your eyes, you'll feel more alive
And through these distorted lights
You'll dream of a love that will stay by your side
Be worth any compromise
Our heads are dizzy with the stars that we'd collect in our palms
And the pianos would play as we would both pray
For one moment to stop but the moments can stop like the lighthouse
It keeps spinning round and round

Sunshine
04:00
|

Dream up a dream that we could become
This art is a cure and it's for everyone
And there would be sunshine on my mind
And it would be you and me all the time
The blue butterflies I can still recall
The yellowing trees and all the crisp sounds of fall
And there would be sunshine on my mind
And it would be you and me all the time
Do do do do do do….
We'll watch the stars playing in the sky
The peace that they keep within the winter moonlight
And there would be sunshine on my mind
And it would be you and me all the time
Do do do do do do….
You know you can't sustain anything it all much change
So be grateful for everything you do
So I'd just like to say that I am in everyway
And I'm thanking you for everything thats you…
Do do do do do do….

Are You Happy Now
04:16

How does it feel right now?
You only married cos' you felt your time was out
And i'm not sure if that was a good shout
But you held out, you held out
You heard him through whispers on the phone
Saying "I'll tell her as soon as she gets home, I love you and i'm leaving her you know? So are you happy now? Are you happy now?"
I believe that it wasn't meant to be
You used to believe, that you were flawed if you weren't free
Now you've achieved what was someone else's dream
listen to me, you are flawed if you're not free
I guess that it all worked out
Now you're resided and the baby is due now
He says he loves you, you try believing it somehow
Are you happy now? Are you happy now?
I believe that it wasn't meant to be
You used to believe, that you were flawed if you weren't free
Now you've achieved what was someone else's dream
listen to me, you are flawed if you're not free
Now you're confessing that it wasn't a good shout
You rushed your life cos' you felt like it was running out
Now you're tied up and scared and wanting out
But just remember you can, you can still get out
I believe that it wasn't meant to be
You used to believe, that you were flawed if you weren't free
Now you've achieved what was someone else's dream
listen to me, you are flawed if you're not free
Now you've achieved what was someone else's dream
Do you believe that you are flawed if you're not free…?

Free Admission

Oh the moon is big and bright and yellow tonight
I can almost touch it and build castles with its sand
I have my sleeping bag and here's my little flag
I have conquered the sky and all that sits within
Flawed in many ways, though perfect to me
We'll make this sky our stage and we can make believe
All the stars we'll never need, we'll need
Because tonights admission's free
Easy though it seems this ideally makes my scene
To share with you the dark and all that holds me back
The cricket and his band take requests on demand
You can choose the first song and I will choose the last
Flawed in many ways, though perfect to me
We'll make this sky our stage and we can make believe
All the stars we'll never need, we'll need
Because tonights admission's free
Easy though it seems this ideally makes my scene
To share with you the dark and all that holds me back
