Cried 03:52
lyrics

My thoughts are in the stone Your sins have made a throne My words are in the trees Of this land that lives and breathes Your children can’t be free They’re broken bones won’t heal They’ll make the same mistakes Until your truth awakes Take my heart out Take my tongue out Tie my hands up Bind my feet But you cannot sell my soul You’ll never feel my pride You’ll never see my pain My tears have all been cried My dreams are not designed They grow and change in time My love is in this sea Surrounds completely Your children could be strong Their hearts could still belong They’ll take your weight, your grief They’ll keep the same belief Take my heart out Take my tongue out Tie my hands up Bind my feet But you cannot sell my soul You’ll never feel my pride You’ll never see my pain My tears have all been cried I will not lose my faith I will not be denied I will not fear again Cos my tears have all been cried

Don't Look At Me That Way 03:10
lyrics

Don’t look at me that way You don’t know what your eyes just said You don’t know how good my life is today Don’t smile that smile at me I’ve fallen here before And I think it’s time to leave The complications are just too dark to concieve Don’t look at me that way Don’t look at me that way Our time has passed us by Don’t look at me that way Don’t even try to justify what you say There’s just no good, that could come today Cos we’ve both been here before No further even though we both wanted more I’m leaving right away, think you should stay Don’t look at me that way Don’t look at me that way Our time has passed us by

Home? 03:22
lyrics
buy track
home? And I don’t mind this place I’ve got But the tyres squeal as they try to stop And I don’t mind the fear outside I lock my door and I’m alive I’ve wished so hard that some come true But some come back when I’m far away from you Chorus I feel, I’ve come so far Just to be lonely, to be where you are I feel, I’ve been stood her before With my arms wide open for you What are we struggling for? Now I know, I’m struggling with this key of fate What would you charge for a change of heart? To buy your way back to the start? Round here, seems like everyone’s the same They’ve all got a price that you can name I’m tired of moving, passing through How much more time before I’m home and holding you? Chorus

Look Out 03:37
lyrics
buy track
look out ‘Look out’ but you won’t At the same time it’s maybe just as well you don’t Could be the ships in the yard Could be time that I opened up my heart I put some things down to luck Blame all the rest on somebody else messing up Could be that your just both Could be time that I stopped trying to live on hope Chorus ‘Cos your just a glimpse through my window Through the stain glass you’re blue I would do anything for you If you came back in view Got this plan of my own Far from the old man a thousand years ago Some people still think they’re right Some people hurt just to be where they are tonight Chorus Just as the bells start to chime I feel the cold and the air wakes up my mind Could be my first night from home Could be the last night I ever want to wake up alone

When She Goes 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Pull, push should be simple enough We’ve been together, been in love But I closed my eyes, felt so weak Held my breath to hear her speak Never known her to apologise Even when she made me cry But big boys should take words of pain Turn them around and do the same Chorus But even when she goes I miss when she goes I’m sadder than she knows I miss her when she goes Never felt unkind, untrue Took the blame for another mood Lived the highs, danced dispair Fought the lows we thought were there My sweetest love has gone to sea But the cruel words they stay with me I’ll fight again with love I’ll find I’ll hold hands we’ll dance in time

A Very Strange Thing 03:09
lyrics
buy track
I am free but I feel I’m choking Its not disease that leaves me broken I can walk the shops are open It’s not the air that leaves me groping And my body swollen It’s just now I believe Love is a very strange thing A good time to leave if there was one Can’t fool myself, can’t fool no-one If I could live in a bubble I would not need you, I could just love you Life with you is hard It’s just now I believe Love is a very strange thing If my head ruled my body I’d run like hell you’d never stop me But my heart is big, so big for you My hope is frozen (hanging), my soul is too It’s just now I believe Love is a very strange thing

Lost Again 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Lost again I find myself, lost again Lost again is where you’ll find me Walking on, falling back There is no fear I’m hiding Just take me in here one more time Can’t say I’ve changed, just out of time No-one needs to know you’re mine chorus We took so long for us to find What we found we just can’t leave behind We’ve looked so hard, all I can see You’re in my heart that’s where you’ll always be You threw me out again, wished me back the same Threw me out you said you’d find me I walked away inside, I left my hopes beside you Looking back, I’m still not hiding There’s no-one else has made us cry No-one waiting, caught our eye No-one can lose why don’t we try?

Wanted You For Me 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Wanted you for me It all comes so easy from your lips A stone wall of words from where I sit There’s no need to take that tone I’ll empty my drink then I’ll go home I can’t say you’re wrong, I can’t pretend To be someone I could not defend There’s no need to bolt the door I’ve heard all I need and more to stay away I’ve never found peace in where you are And it puts all your beauty in the dark A whole host of serenades I’ve tried but they all have failed to reach you But I just don’t know how to walk away It’s what I should do, it’s what I’ve said But there’s nothing I wouldn’t give There’s nothing if I can’t live that dream, that dream

Far 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Far When your fear heals When your eyes clear When hope returns we’ll thank you But years have left you torn Pushed into corners And now your seas are filled with shadow Chorus You’re far from the streets that were home But you still walk through them From the lover who waited so long But you still talk to them But you wake up cursing this dream You loved but had to leave As our time shows As this city knows It’s left the souls that lost you Through years of leaving Your shores believed them That their tears would start to heal you Chorus As our time knows As our history shows There’s chances here for taking To rise again to stand like one There’s hope tomorrow That your winds will blow in freedom Chorus

Flying Today 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Flying today Time, seems like it passed us long ago The light has faded now it bearly glows And the fire cooled as quickly as a gun The shadows tell the distance of our sun And I feel like flying today Strange, to hear a name and feel such hunger Yet turn and hide it deep inside your life Strange that I’m still tied up, I’m still trusting Yet hold my words deep inside my life And I feel like flying today It feels like I’ve lost my way today At a time when I thought my life had changed Now as I feel the years roll back I must not lose where I am today I’ve walked, kept my head with my heart open At times I’ve had a look along the way I’ve stopped, held back tears I should have showed Might have helped you understand That I feel like like flying today

Not Alone 02:50
lyrics
buy track
Not Alone Shore light coming into view I’m turning around This life has taken me from home To feel your love, feel that I am not alone Your heart beating out the call It stands above me like this great big city wall This life that I pictured on my own All fades in your light, now I’ll never be alone Each night, daylight comes too soon Each day a way to prove all I have left to prove This life still has hands it hasn’t shown Miles from nowhere, still I am not alone
