Life, Oh Life

Hands in my pockets as I walk across the street
I’m feeling tired by my legs they feel a different beat
And in my mind, and in my body and my soul
I know the path’s the same, it’s just that I am getting old.
Down to the river whose waters still flow the same
I ask the river if I’ll ever find my way again
And from her depths I hear her churn, I hear her say
‘Your path is long and you will never know the way’.
And now with bare feet and with grass stains on my jeans
I stop in front of a tree as old as could be.
I ask the tree if I will ever, ever know
When it is my time to go.
But you will know I was here:
I was swimming in your bays.
But you will know I was here:
I was singing every day
Hands in my pockets as I walk across the street
I’m feeling tired by my legs they feel a different beat
And in my mind, and in my body and my soul
I know the path’s the same, it’s just that I am getting old.
And to the sky that hangs above on broken strings
Fill it with your planes, and your clouds and all your favourite things.
I ask the sky if I will ever get to see
The machinations that go on behind the scenes.
But you will know I was here:
I was swimming in your bays.
But you will know I was here:
I was singing every day

The Ocean
03:19

Found it in the ocean
You found it in the sea
In the arms of some blue, breaking monster
You're exactly where you want yourself to be
Found it in the mountains
You found it in the autumn trees
In your magazines and on your wallpaper
It will show you where you want to be, oh honey
Thoughts of places will fill this space, this space
Your thoughts of places will fill this space
Thoughts of places will fill this space, this space
Your eyes are closed, now let time erase, erase

Sister

It's been a long time coming, a long time waiting for you
Sister you've been looking for something to hold on to
So let's go, jump on a plane
It was a new poetry, it was the English countryside
It was flying to another world just to fall in love
Seen it all now you've had it, but you're gonna have to wait
But you just mind your manners, you'll get more than you can take
So let's jump on a plane[jump on up and jump on up and jump on up and jump on a plane](12504372)
Jump on a plane
Jump on a plane
Jump on a plane
And let's go play in
Let's go play in
Let's go play in some other playground far, far away
Sister I love you, know that I'll miss you
Drop me a line when you're down here
Floating so high but you still sink like a stone
Sister you don't have to live by fear
He is a stolen memory and a restless heart
A photo in your hands and a fresh start
Oh, you can learn life's lessons 'til there's nothing left to learn
But you'll still break like everyone else when it is your turn
And now you cannot let go
Cannot let go
Cannot let go
Cannot let go
And now you want to show it, want to tell it
Talk about your new toy with everyone that you know
Sister I love you, know that I'll miss you
Drop me a line when you're down here
Floating so high but you still sink like a stone
Sister, you don't have to live by fear
So let's jump a plane
Jump on a plane
Jump on a plane
Jump on a plane
And let's go play in
Let's go play in
Let's go play in some other playground far, far away
So let's jump a plane
Jump on a plane
Jump on a plane
Jump on a plane
And let's go play in
Let's go play in
Let's go play in some other playground far, far away

I hear you crying, yeah I hear you call
I hear you calling but the sound, it doesn't reach me at all
We started shaking and the earth was quaking
You started dancing to the sound reverberating in your head
I think I like you but I'm not so sure
I think I like you, yeah, I think I wanna know you some more
But you can't help it 'cause I make you feel special
We'll drink some tea, maybe go to the movies
Today I'm waiting, yeah, I'm waiting for your call
So sick of waiting, how come you never call me at all?
You've got the history I'm the patient on your system
You're trading lovers like nobody's gonna miss them
You got me moving to the sound you're humming
It's time to move, time to hit the ground rolling
Cut through the symphony because you are
The only sound that’s in my head

So Long
03:13
|

So long I have waited, I have waited, I have waited
My thoughts turning back the clock at every stage and
For too short I have walked, my stomach tied up in knots
I feel young, feel stupid, feel our time isn't up
I wish I could strip away your complications
I wish I could unravel your mysteries
Read your story, I would surrender myself to you
But I know I only want you more because I cannot have you
So long I have waited, I have waited, I have waited
I’m by the phone again with nervous hands and breath baited
You’ve got me fumbling every nervous word that I have stated
You say you want time, you say that you need space but
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you, you, you

A-Bomb

In the dead of the night, we will stare at the stars, at the stars
A strange light will take and will illuminate
For the moment we'll forget who we are
In a flash I'll be thrown left to crawl through the dark on my own
And the silence I'll tame, but keep plucking my strings all the same
When I wake you'll be there with a smile and a hand reaching down
And we'll go to the movies and kiss in your car, in your car
And I'll watch as you tend to your trinkets and play with your hair
We will float, we will fly, it is you 'til there's nothing else there
When you blink you will find that she's left you behind
Swept up and away on the breeze
And you know she’ll return, but you don’t know when
And you’ll know it too well, as you knew it back then
You will stop, you will pick up a pen

White Knight
02:49

Twelve months back was not the same
You barely even knew my name
By and by the time did pass I waited quiet and still
Hopeless then as I am now
Not knowing when, not knowing how
Shouting every useless line I knew to catch your eye
But too short were our chances
Stolen between nervous glances
I waited by the phone and you waited in your bed
In my mind I hoped we might
From kissing in the car that night
Leave each other wondering
Leave each other within sight
Even now I forget how the stupid thoughts come running now
Overriding safe measure and all good common sense
But too long you’re in my sight, I’ll let you wait for your white night

Sleepwalking
03:14
|

Running on that age-old feeling
Everything will be alright
I thought it all came to an end
I hoped that we could make a start
Holding back and letting go
I’m re-thinking the things I know
I’m climbing up to higher ground
I’m climbing up to look around
Drifting off these ancient shorelines
Drowning in some backwater
I’m searching ‘round for things to find
I’m knowing that we’ll be alright
Rushing in when it’s too early
Speaking up when it’s too late
We’re conquerors when we are sleeping
Sleep walking when we’re awake
