All The Way

Lonely I did lie
And wait for you tonight
Hold your body close
Rest my weary bones
Bound about my hands
While life laughs at my plans
I can find a way
If I can see your face
If nobody waits for tomorrow
And everyone lives for today
Time as it flows in my hollow bones
She takes me all the way
Down upon my knees
Your light it shines on me
Nevermore alone
Come and take me home
Burning in my heart
And you ignite the spark
Aching all the time
To feel your lips on mine
If nobody waits for tomorrow
And everyone lives for today
Time as it flows in my hollow bones
She takes me all the way
Standing at the gate
The hour drawing late
My love I do implore
No waiting anymore
If nobody waits for tomorrow
And everyone lives for today
Time as it flows in my hollow bones
You take me all the way

Song About Tomorrow
05:48
|

When I look back I see it clearly
The day I first saw you on your father's arm
But I am a poor man and not nearly
Fit for the daughter of the richest man in town
But we had our love, we had each other
With need of no blessing in our hearts
So we'll run away now to the ocean
Setting our sails straight by the stars
So we sit here in the bow lines
As the light begins to fade
Singing songs about tomorrow
Singing songs of yesterday
If I gave you all my sorrows
Would you carry them away?
My love
So out on the high seas we live freely
Beyond the horizon a fresh start
We'll build a new life here and ideally
Be ever together, not apart
So we sit here in the bow lines
As the light begins to fade
Singing songs about tomorrow
Singing songs of yesterday
If I gave you all my sorrows
Would you carry them away?
My love, my love, my love
Now here on our island, life is dreary
With only each other and our flaws
The sight of your face now makes me weary
If only you'd left me where I was
So we sit here in the bow lines
As the light begins to fade
Singing songs about tomorrow
Singing songs of yesterday
If I gave you all my sorrows
Would you carry them away?
My love, my love, my love, my love

One By One

Four years pass like it was yesterday
I can't take it in, for it was Saturday
Even those times when we sat down and talked
I can't take it in, I need to walk
Forgotten those times when you can't be here
I can't take it in, you must be near
Secretly wishing you could hear myrhymes
I can't take it in, so I stop those lines
Watching the world go by, I question why
Watching the world fly by, I wonder why
Counting the days of diminished years
Can't distinguish the dreams
Thinking of things he used to say and
I know that I'll be saved
One by one
Feeling the prayer from the stars above
I can't take it in, I know it's your love
Holding my breath in he darkest rooms
I can't take it in, it feels so cruel
Watching the world go by, I question why
Watching the world fly by, I wonder why
Counting the days of diminished years
Can't distinguish the dreams
Thinking of things he used to say and
I know that I'll be saved
One by one

These Old Fires
04:56
|
|||
There's a tie that's between you and I
Like a siren that sounds, like a bell that's ringing in the night
Now your hurt put your heart on a shelf
But you gotta let go, there's some things you owe to yourself
There's some things you owe to yourself
I recall all the ways we would sing
But you bartered that gold for a silence like a living thing
If I float all the hopes of my life
Would you scuttle that boat, would you burn it to the waterline?
Would you burn it to the waterline?
But these old fires, they still burn
And this old wheel, how it still turns
The things we lost, the things we learned
But these old fires, they still burn
They burn
Keep the embers aglow in your heart
Stake a place in this world, plant a flag and there we make a start
You could help all my doubts to assuage
Just a look in those eyes and my life would never be the same
And my life would never be the same
But these old fires, they still burn
And this old wheel, how it still turns
The things we lost, the things we learned
But these old fires, they still burn
They still burn
They still burn
They still burn
They still burn
But these old fires, they still burn
And this old wheel, how it still turns
I gave my all, I gave my word
But these old fires, they still
Yeah these old fires, they still
These old fires, they still burn
And this old wheel, how it still turns
The things we lost, the things we learned
But these old fires, they still burn
They burn

Goodnight Sun
04:43
|
|||
Rain falls down onto my nose
Dampens my heart to a frown
Sun gleams through the dusty pane
To my eyes it keeps me sane
Goodnight, goodnight sun
Goodnight, goodnight sun
This orange moon I've seen before
Makes me feel very very tall
Sun gleams through the dusty pane
To my eyes it keeps me sane
Goodnight, goodnight sun
Goodnight, goodnight sun
Watch those birds, no care at all
Watch me here until I stall
Watch those birds, no care at all
Watch me here until I stall
Goodnight, goodnight sun
Goodnight, goodnight sun
Goodnight sun

Out On The Town
05:07
|
|||
I woke from a dream last night
That all my tears and all my pride
Had crept away without a sound
Tommy passed the bottle down to me, to me
The drinks were cold, the bars were warm
The acts of friendship we performed
They bonded us, so it appeared
Forged of love and built of years our chains, our chains
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
Lately I've been feeling though
The things that we all used to know
And count upon have gone away
See the night give way to day, it glowed, it glowed
Now I look around the room and
Realise what we once assumed
Would always stay had slowly changed
Faces friendly now are strange to me, to me
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
I was just a face in the crowd
I was just a face in the crowd
I was just a face in the crowd
(We went out on the town and we sang to the sky come the dawn)
I was just a face in the crowd
(We went out on the town and we sang to the sky come the dawn)
In the crowd, in the crowd
(Come the dawn, come the dawn)
I woke from a dream last night
And gathered up my wounded pride
To creep away without a sound
Tommy brings the van around for me, oh for me
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky come the dawn, come the dawn
We went out on the town
And we sang to the sky
