The day before it happened
We went to the park
We watched the heron sweeping
Across the water in the dark
I thought about life
And I thought about you
And you could feel the stilness
As time drew its breath
The day before it happened
You phoned out of the blue
It had been a long time
Since I had heard from you
We spoke about life
How things used to be
And you could hear the silence
As we drew our breath
The day before it happened

Always Let Me Go
04:05
|
|||
|
I know that you're kind
And you can have my body
But you'll never have my mind
Even if you want it
So hold me love me hurt me
But always let me go
I'm making a life with you
I'll eat at your table
I'll kneel at your pew
I'll be yours forever
And we can admire the view
But sometimes I need the night
Like I need the light
And if you find me walking fences
And creeping under cars
I know that you're kind
And you can have my body
But you'll never have my mind
Even if you want it
So hold me love me hurt me
But always let me go
I'll walk in your shoes
And speak with your language
I'll learn all your rules
And try every line that I know
But the wild is watching and waiting
So always let me go
Always let me go

Sleep
03:03

Sleep and dream
About the places that you've been
About the faces that you've seen
Today
Drift away
On a boat of coloured clay
Wrapped in gold and blue
Little Pharoah
But don't sweat the big stuff yet
Don't sweat the big stuff yet
Sleep and dream
The world is taking shape
Moving into focus with the day
Twitch and turn
The sun is rising on your life
Animals are waiting to be named
But don't sweat the big stuff yet
Don't sweat the big stuff yet

Make You Feel
03:21
|
|||
|
I'm not asking you for love
I'm not asking you to stay
I'm not asking you for answers
All I want is to say
Wanna make you feel good
With the darkness comes the night
With the dawn may come the fear
It's not time to worry yet
There's nothing that I need to hear
Wanna make you feel good

Breathing
03:23
|
|||
|
Close your eyes
You're still breathing
Out and in
Staying alive
While you worry
You can trust it
On and on
Staying alive
Can't you see
What fools we've been
Living life as if we're dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming again
Close your eyes
You can let go
There's nothing hear
To fear but but fear
Wherever you go
I will go there too
And we'll breathe
Breathe in love
But can't you see
The fools we've been
Living life as if we're dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming again

The Need to Fly
03:25
|
|||
|
The need to fly is strong in me sometimes
Take to the sky and float above the pines
To dance across the floodlit stage
Leave this little life we've made
The need to fly is strong in me sometimes
To grow some wings sacred and divine
To draw a line with ancient man
Fall in love with every girl I can
The need to fly is strong in me sometimes
Sometimes
The need to fly is strong in me sometimes
Drive my car down this old road that winds
With nothing but the shirt on my back
Like Cassidy and Kerouac
The need to fly is strong in me sometimes
The need to be just what's inside my mind
To leave this one-horse-town asleep
To jump into the waters deep
The need to fly is strong in me sometimes
Sometimes

This Is Our Time
03:33
|

|
There's a pulsing in my limbs
There's a thinking in my mind
Won't let me go
Won't let me go
There is something in the water
There's a ghost in the time
A twitching of the knee
A twisting of the hair
So take this
Take this moment
Here we align
Here we stand
This is our time
There
We are slaves to the future
We are slaves to the past
All we have is this moment
This moment never lasts
There's a pulsing in my limbs
There's a thinking in my mind
Won't let me go
Won't let me go
So take this
Take this moment
Here we align
Here we stand
This is our time

From my window
I see the blossom fall
Onto the street below
Watch as it blows away
It's inevitable
Every year the same
We ride the storm
And I am free but
You still make the weather
You still make the weather
You still make the weather
For me
I'm holding on
The storm is blowing my ship along
Here comes the sun
Followed by the rain
The summer's turning
Turning bad again
From my window
I see leaves falling
You still make the weather
You still make the weather
You still make the weather
For me

Are You Ready for Love?
03:57
|
|||
|
Are you ready for love
It will burn through the bushes
It will blaze through the fields
It will wake up your dead soul
And take you to the edge
It will keep you up all night
Screaming in your face
You will love it like no other
Have it no other way
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for love
It will empty your pockets
It will have you on the ropes
It will eat all your porridge
And sleep in your bed
It will rip up the rule book
And feed it back to you
And you will love it like no other
Have it no other way
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for love
Are you ready for love
