I’m tired of this
I’m tired of not knowing where you are
Sitting here under the stars
Night clouds are rolling in
Seabirds are calling to the sky’s - they fly
I just wanna listen to you
I just wanna listen to you again
I just wanna listen to you
I just wanna listen to you my friend
Unfold the sheets
And press them lightly to my cheek
Rearrange layers on sun
Lye in a circle drawn
Patiently willing for a graceful dance
Repose by chance
I just wanna listen to you
I just wanna listen to you again
I just wanna listen to you
I just wanna listen to you my friend
Re-adjust to days without you
Time to trust - knowing i’ll get through
The fog that holds my hands so tightly
Through the shadows landing lightly
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye……

Romeo

Someday you’ll be there
Someone who will care
We’ll ride the bus together
You’ll take me to the pictures
Where you hiding out?
What are you about?
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here waiting for ya
Take me by the hand, tell me you’re my man
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here singing to ya,
Hurry now, hurry now my patience is tired
Hurry now, hurry now my patience has expired
And so I wait here
Seasons pass then disappear
I’m making room for someone
A place that they can call home
Tell me, is it you?
To be mine through and through
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here waiting for ya
Take me by the hand, tell me you’re my man
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here singing to ya,
Hurry now, hurry now my patience is tired
Hurry now, hurry now my patience has expired
Until that day, I’ll wish and pray
And make my way to you
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here waiting for ya
Take me by the hand, tell me you’re my man
Oh Romeo, I’ll be here singing to ya,
Hurry now, hurry now my patience is tired
Hurry now, hurry now my patience has expired

The Ghost in You
03:54
|
|||
|
Catching light and finding meaning for your words
Adding colours to the faces at your birth
Did you know it?
Can you see through all the loves before?
Realign the times you chose to just ignore
The ghost in you is dancing, dancing, singing, singing out
The ghost in you try’s to hide from the motions too
The ghost in you is reeling, reeling, feeling, feeling out
The ghost in you needs to be set free
Hiding out in your front room and looking down
At the friends that sit below upon the ground
Did you know it? All the stories from before
Intertwining and your reaching for the door
The ghost in you is dancing, dancing, singing, singing out
The ghost in you try’s to hide from the motions too
The ghost in you is reeling, reeling, feeling, feeling out
The ghost in you needs to be set free
Here’s our hands, here’s our arms
Can you see that we are not apart
Joining now, one for one
Reinventing time
The ghost in you is dancing, dancing, singing, singing out
The ghost in you try’s to hide from the motions too
The ghost in you is reeling, reeling, feeling, feeling out
The ghost in you needs to be set free

When They Roam
03:39

You said grow up like the others
Don’t let any man get in the way
So i grew up strong just like my three brothers
Focussed on the right path, the right way
And no I don’t regret the steps I took
Are we all trying to follow rules from another damn book
Calling to our children with our hopes
Will they stay with us or jump ship to a brighter boat
Will they win, will they win, Will they win, will they win
Will they win, will they win, Will they win, will they win
You said take flight little birdie
Make a map and travel it well
But i blurred the lines my hands were unsteady
The ground was shaking and I fell
And no I don’t regret the steps I took
Are we all trying to follow rules from another damn book
Calling to our children with our hopes
Will they stay with us or jump ship to a brighter boat
Will they win, will they win, Will they win, will they win
Will they win, will they win, Will they win, will they win
And no I cannot force her to be brave
And no I cannot force her to behave
Standing here alone inside our home
Just be safe, Just be safe, Just be safe,
Just be safe, just be safe when you roam…

The Winter Light
05:21
|

|
She stops and she stands, staring down at her hands
And she nods to the stars, counting them all, wondering how far
And she wanders away, from her dream
Somehow tangled in a mystery, so it seems
But not forgotten
Is she okay?
We havn’t heard from her today, I might visit on Tuesday
Take some time outside, up the hill and across the valleys
Of winter light
Winter light shifting the colours inside
Bring them close and push the longing aside
Winter light shifting the colours inside
Bring them close and push the longing aside
Come now lovely one
Let’s wrap up in woolens and sit with our tea in the fading sun
Let all of our fears go, close our eyes and
Wander away, from our pasts
Wrap them up and let them go today
Silently leaving us
Are we okay?
Let us know today, lets meet up on tuesday
Take some time outside, up the hill and across the valleys
Of winter light
Winter light shifting the colours inside
Bring them close and push the longing aside
Winter light shifting the colours inside
Bring them close and push the longing aside

Lanterns

Will you carry my lantern
Will you light up my torch
Will you stand here beside me
Will we walk through the arch
Can I find your hidden language
Wrapped up in your working hands
Gathered from a time remembered
Chasing dreams across the sands
You come from the past I know
Book in hand, hat tilted so
Whisky words and mountain air
Am I the one for you, am I the one for you
Oh my feet are feeling heavy
As they plod along the tracks
And I hold this in my body
Tied in knots along my back
Is it love that I am missing
Even though you tell me so
I don’t know where I am turning to
Pushed away then held in close
You come from the past I know
Book in hand, hat tilted so
Whisky words and mountain air
Am I the one for you, am I the one for you
You come from the past I know
Book in hand, hat tilted so
Whisky words and mountain air
Am I the one for you, am I the one for you

It’s sunday and the rain is falling, heavy drops hitting the ground outside
In here I will hide
You promised a day together, simple adventures, walking in the wilderness
It’s you that i miss
Suzy Blue, why don’t you come home soon
We’ll go to the sea, just you and me
Suzy Blue, you bring with your honesty
Stories and smiles, won't you stay for a while
Remember that time you taught me how to make clothes on your old overlocker
You were brilliant at soccer
Or how we would whip up baking, go exploring, find treasures in a secondhand store
It’s you that I adore
Suzy Blue, why don’t you come home soon
We’ll go to the sea, just you and me
Suzy Blue, you bring with your honesty
Stories and smiles, won't you stay for a while
I await the day that you will call and say ‘this is the date that I fly in’
We’ll lye in sunshine, then we can talk and talk and talk and talk and talk until the stars are out, until the stars are out, until the stars are out
Suzy Blue, why don’t you come home soon
We’ll go to the sea, just you and me
Suzy Blue, you bring with your honesty
Stories and smiles, won't you stay for a while
Oooooh…
Suzy Blue, why don’t you come home soon
We’ll go to the sea, just you and me
Suzy Blue, you bring with your honesty
Stories and smiles, won't you stay for a while

Mother Daughter

Sailing out into the deep waters, I can see you
Searching for the next thing to make your heart sing
Dancing your way through a teenagers day
To a rhythm I cannot quite see the same way
Were we like that back when we were young?
Must we be, all on show
Or can we hide away, let it go
Simplify the weekends and walk with the birds for company
Colour in, the darkness of sin
Rearrange the pallet of pain
Shuffle the cards and tell me when it all gets too hard
Some days you don’t want to be near me
Other days, you want to be wrapped in my arms
All of your delicate charms
When it’s just us and our icecream and Gilmore Girls on a Wednesday evening
It’s our time and we know it’s allright for now
Must we be, all on show
Or can we hide away, let it go
Simplify the weekends and walk with the birds for company
Colour in, the darkness of sin
Rearrange the pallet of pain
Shuffle the cards and tell me when it all gets too hard
My hope for you, is to hold on to our moments with a full heart
Try not to hear, all the fears that surround me as a mother
Mother Daughter……

Burnt Coffee
03:35

I can smell burnt coffee
I can hear the birds
I don’t see you no more
And I miss your words
And as far as I know
You have gone astray
And I guess I’ll accept that
It’s better this way
What will I be, what will I do
This is a place that I’ve gotta move through
I’ll go and go and go and ride that wave
Time to step out, time to let go
Time to rehearse all the patterns I know
I’ll go and go and find my place to stay
Anyway…
The dog is in the yard
And oh how she barks
The rain it is falling
And I’m dancing in the dark
And somewhere you’re singing
A sweet melody
But I will not hear it
It is not for me
What will I be, what will I do
This is a place that I’ve gotta move through
I’ll go and go and go and ride that wave
Time to step out, time to let go
Time to rehearse all the patterns I know
I’ll go and go and find my place to stay
And somewhere down along the line I’ll see you
I’ll be strong enough so I can move
Breathing’s getting easier I want to
Find the place I know that I can see again
What will I be, what will I do
This is a place that I’ve gotta move through
I’ll go and go and go and ride that wave
Time to step out, time to let go
Time to rehearse all the patterns I know
I’ll go and go and find my place to stay
Anyway…
