Round and Around
03:52
|
|
||
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?

Medicine for Melancholy
05:15
|
|
||
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

Seaside Wayside
05:32
|
|
||
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

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

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

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

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
