Watching Over Me
03:36
|
|||
We could hide away, wait until this whole thing blows over
We can lie awake, counting stars of luck above our heads
It’s easy to believe when it’s stranger than fiction
A lock without a key, love was a mystery, to me
When you came into my, life and turned it upside
Down and blew away, the clouds of yesterday
Now it’s only blue sky
Watching over me
We could light the way with honesty, love and understanding
If we share the load, this road will lead to more than we can see
Anxiety still haunts there is no faking shaking
I’ll trade an ugly truth for the innocence of youth
When you came into my, life and turned it upside
Down and blew away, the clouds of yesterday
Now it’s only blue sky
Watching over me
We could hide away, wait until this whole damn thing blows over
We can lie awake, counting stars of luck above our heads

Time Will Find A Way
03:48
|
|||
Waited for far too long and now the chance has gone
Hesitation
A lot of hope, a little luck, a dream of love without
Expectation
So it goes
I find myself right here again, holding on
To what might have beens and lucky charms
While I wait, I will contemplate my fate
Did the sun and the moon and the stars
Collude to make us who we are?
Are we clutching at straws to make sense of it all and maybe
There is much more to see, than we have been led to believe
Time will find a way to wake us, when it's right
Been waiting for another door to open for so long
So many reservations
Simple words, no hidden verse, a dream to be immersed
Without waking
So it goes
We find ourselves right here and now, holding tight
When you smile at me all wrong seems right
While we wait, let us contemplate our fate
Did the sun and the moon and the stars
Collude to make us who we are?
Are we clutching at straws to make sense of it all and maybe
There is much more to see, than we have been led to believe
Time will find a way to wake us, when it's right
Time will find a way
Time will find a way

Blue Eyes, Grey Sky
03:50
|
|||
Feel like a lifeboat on the waves
Heading back to harbour all lives saved
Floating on a lilo in the pool
Fighting every urge I have to play the fool
The dog is in the yard but he's yet to bark
If you are here he may not come near
Sometimes I've got blue eyes looking up to grey sky
Sometimes there'll be rain
Coincidences mounting, twenty-two and counting
All the ones again
Been drifting on an ocean of carelessness
Now love is in the air I'll catch my breath
Waiting for a sign to make a move
Now it's green lights all the way, nothing to lose
Maybe I've got faith, much more than I know
Much more than I ever used to
Sometimes I've got blue eyes looking up to grey sky
Sometimes there'll be rain
Coincidences mounting, twenty-two and counting
All the ones again
Again and again
The dog is in the yard but he's yet to bark
When you are here he may not come near
Sometimes I've got blue eyes looking up to grey sky
Sometimes there'll be rain
Coincidences mounting, twenty-two and counting
All the ones again
Sometimes I've blue eyes
Under grey sky

Hold On For Me
03:57
|
|||
Remember yesterday when all we had to think about
Was what games we would play
When summer days were hot and long, a sandwich and a juice
Would get us through the day
We couldn't wait until tomorrow
To do it all again with our brand new friend, there was
No time for regrets or for sorrow
So if you find a way to get back to those days
Please hold on for me
When we get there lock the door and throw away the key
I will hold on for you
Experience tastes so much better when it's shared by two
Remember when the world was where we had all the time
In no time it was gone
When love was just a word in songs on the radio
But we would still sing along
Though the memories have faded
Like the scars on knees, grazed while climbing trees I know
I am being sentimental
But if you find a way to get back to those days
Please hold on for me
When we get there lock the door and throw away the key
I will hold on for you
Experience tastes so much better when it's shared by two
Yes I know it wasn't perfect
But if you find a way, I'd still go back to those days
Hold on for me
When we get there lock the door and throw away the key
I will hold on for you
Experience tastes so much better when it's shared by two
When it's shared by two

Tell You Later
03:13
|
|||
We will be lifted
When this is over
I'll catch you smiling
You can be sure
But who are we?
To want for better
Who are we?
I'll tell you later
We will no longer
Be taken for granted
Soothed by the passing
Of time we will heal
But who are we?
To want for better
Who are we?
I'll tell you later
We will be lifted
When this is over
But who are we?
To want for better
Who are we?
I'll tell you later
Tell you later

The Need For More Love
03:47
|
|||
With every tide that is turning, every fire been left burning
The embers still glow but the flames will not dance anymore
With every soul that’s been waking, every heart tired of breaking
Every hill gives a different view this is mine, all mine
While this world is on fire, divided and tired it’s not easy
To hold on to hope, keep our heads up and cope
Everybody has got
The need for more love
With every breath that we've taken
Every belief that’s being shaken
The weight on our shoulders is holding on for dear life
With every hour that we’ve wasted, every smile cut and pasted
Years pass by us like a finger through dust, is it time, our time
While this world is on fire, divided and tired it’s not easy
To hold on to hope, keep our heads up and cope
Everybody has got
The need for more love
Hold on ‘til the sunrise
Let go of your grey sky over-thinking just to see
If it sets you free
With every thought contemplated
Every path that’s blocked and gated
Are we finally finding our way
Are we already there, right there
While this world is on fire, divided and tired, it’s not easy
To hold on to hope, keep our heads up and cope, it’s not easy
To take every blow with grace and to grow, it’s not easy
To keep looking up and have faith in above
Everybody has got, the need for more love
The need for more love

This Ship Of Fools
03:49
|
|||
This situation calls for urgency
Did you know, did you wonder?
Let's not surrender to uncertainty
Let's wake up, from our slumber
Now we are running out of time
Lost for words that no longer rhyme
I'm dropping sails and downing tools
Get me off of this ship of fools
Exploration of my memory
Leads me down a path of wonder
Expectations are not so high right now
These crazy days and beyond the yonder
Now we are running out of time
There's not enough to make wrongs right
How I miss serenity
Slow is fast and high is low
No thirst to learn, to read and grow
I'm dropping sails and downing tools
Get me off of this ship of fools
This situation calls for urgency
Did you know, is it any wonder?
That we are running out of time
Lost for words that no longer rhyme
Speeding to our destiny
This situation leaves me cold, desperation taking hold
Dropping sails and downing tools
Get me off of this ship of fools
This ship of fools

Your World
03:48
|
|||
Haunted by the ghosts of yesterday
When we walked alone and dreamt of better days
Six hundred miles apart
Years imbued with solitude, loneliness unfurled and grew
Simply been on cloud nine since you
Let me into your world
Guided by the healing hands of fate
Surrender to the universe and wait
Until stars align again
Call it crazy but it feels, logical yet still surreal
Simply been on cloud nine since you
Let me into your world
Let me into your world
Let me into your beautiful world
Were we haunted by the ghosts of yesterday?
While we walked alone and dreamt of better days
Six hundred miles apart
Roads imbued with solitude, leading to a town called you
Simply been on cloud nine since
You let me into your world
Let me into your world
Let me into your beautiful world
Let me into your beautiful world

Inside Out
03:47
|
|||
A force of nature wrapped in subtlety
Love the sound of distant thunder, a gentle melody
Caress my soul with honesty and love and let it flow, let it flow
Simply surrender, throwing off self doubt
Turning it inside out
There will be light at the tunnel's end
Take a chance on fate and move on
Close your eyes and count to ten
Sinking like a stone then floating
Like a board that's riding a wave
Crashing on your shore, throwing off self doubt
Turning it inside out
A memory of a place that time forgot
A moonlit street
Don't know where we are, only know where we are not
Lift me up, with a whispered word and a smile
Let's take forever, let's turn it around
Let's turn this inside out
Inside out

Cool Breeze
03:01
|
|||
Let's draw a line and a deep breath
As we walk on the sands of time
We'll be content with what is left
Just lost a friend
The final chapter has been penned
Though that book's now on the shelf
The memories will be re-read
Oh, now all I want is to find out what it is all, about
Oh, whisper softly to me, I don't want to scream and shout
With every passing day
We find there's treasure still to find
We've been working through the night
To find some meaning in this life
It's in the moonlight, it's in the sunrise
It's in the cool breeze
In the silence and the commotion and
The melody that gets stuck inside your head
And buzzes round all day
Oh, now all I want is to find out what it is all, about
Oh, if all you want is to find some meaning it's all, around
It's in the moonlight, it's in the sunrise
It's in the cool breeze
In the silence and the commotion and
The melody that gets stuck inside your head
And buzzes round all day

Someday Soon
05:22
|
|||
So many questions
Fill my head and always lead to more
Are there really more stars than grains of sand
In the deserts of our land?
I sit and watch the world pass by my window
And read the words of those who came before
We've loved and lost, we've lived and learned but do we
Really know how far this goes on and on and on
How do we turn silence into song?
And someday, maybe soon, we will all be seekers of the truth
And then maybe we will learn that we are one
That we are one
We'll move from darkness into light
If a butterfly floats gently by my window
Are it's beating wings felt around the world?
We've loved and lost we've lived and learned but do we
Really know how long this goes on and on and on
Will all the doubters be proved wrong?
And someday, maybe soon, we will all be seekers of the truth
And then maybe we will learn that we are one
That we are one
We are one
We are one
I sit and watch the world pass by my window
And if a butterfly floats gently by
A work of art, a blade of grass
A sky full of distant stars
A waterfall, a single tear
A lifetimes worth of hopes and fears
A single seed, an old oak tree
A mountain top, oceans beneath
A sound to hear, a sight to see
Close your eyes and breathe in deep
Breathe in deep
