So they say, but does it have to be this way? As the days go by, you’re leaving it all behind
 Around & around x2 
 You breathe hints of days past
 Portals of memory - they whisper to you
 And then they’re gone Around & around x2 cool summer breeze is blowing through your window 
Love keeps on growing, and in growing it’s gone Around & around x2

Red Shoes 03:53
All my life, I’ve been waiting, 
All my life, I can’t say
 chorus 
Every day, every day 
I need for my eyes some clear blue light 
 My delicate obsession I take a torch to it - light it up 
I shall watch it burn 

chorus My fingertips brush the sky, I’m watching my life go by 
All this dust fills up my eyes, then burns them 
And I cry
 chorus
 Put on my red shoes, I’ll go dancing across the floor
 The ground falls away, my heart flies away, 
I’m floating in the air once more 
 chorus

What Dreams 03:13
What dreams may come, with the setting Sun? What dreams may come 
When you are undone? Dawn’s cold light 
brings the dreams so real
 After the black of night How do you really feel? 
 Fears buried so deep, 
they only come out to haunt you When you are asleep Fantasy near your heart brings the dreams so real In daylight, cast it away Boxed up and concealed When dreams they come What dreams may come?

I am a ghost, wandering from room to room, Moving, there is no peace in being still today Stillness makes the thoughts rush in Rush in, leave me gasping for air chorus My emotions have become my skin I don’t know where to begin To pick myself up From my bed, I can see the road Dark days stretch out before me
 Hot strong black coffee, held tightly in my hand Another medicine for my melancholy chorus I am a ghost, searching for what’s not there, Maybe if I open my eyes - maybe I will really see Maybe I will really see This medicine for my melancholy Chorus

Something 03:46
Some things die before they are started Sometimes they burn out 
On their own Between the spaces
 Are the traces 
Of those people 
 We never see 
Will never be
 Beside me now 
Inside me somehow 
Are the trials 
I have not yet Paid attention to Beyond the glass Into the sky’s starscape You will find Your own true face Your own place

Here she stands in her cloak From the cobalt sky Her tortured life Runs behind her eyes Down into the cold green sea She dips her imagination Remembering Turning away from the black hidden truth Twisted experiences Haunting her, no protection there A childhood gone astray Remembering Running through the long grass Goldenrod by the riverbank Summer days of wild strawberries The haze of starry nights Aurora shining down on her Remembering
7.
Call Me 03:27
When old ghosts come to haunt you What old ghosts come home to haunt you?
What is that which falls from your heart? Can it make you fall apart? 
Hold me now
Now that the fields are on fire 
To see my heart’s desire 
In a single drop of rain
Would I go through that pain
Can you tell me is it the same? Call me, sustain me 

8.
Let it Go 02:49
Butterflies are free - what about you & me? 
 Fish are swimming in the sea, happy as can be Let it go
 Waves was up on every shore 
The tide comes in
T he moon changes her dress 
No rest, no rest 
 Let it go 
 The sun it rises every day 
It trails across my sky
 Without warning - Goodbye, goodbye Let it go
9.
Stake 02:49
Why am I afraid of silence?
 If I am quiet, what will I find?
 The ghost I’ve carried 10,000 years now? 
 chorus Watching, waiting
 will I be found? 
 And as the days bleed into the night
I watch in time, I wait in pain
 It’s breaking my back - why can’t I see? 
 chorus
 Release from this endless flight
 On wings of gossamer bound
 will I be found? chorus

10.
Over to You 02:44
I dressed with you in mind today 
Well, what can I say? I’m happy it’s this way
 chorus 
I am flying
 Why is is that each time 
I think of you, I close my eyes, 
 You face appears
 You are so near, I can feel and touch you
 chorus Warm shivers inside, I just seem to glide 
Over to you - oh yeah - it’s all over to you
