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

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

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

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

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

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 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
