Sun breaks through
Morning light
Bedside clock tells time
Eyes stay shut
Sleep holds back each rhyme
Songs that whisper
Through the night
Disappear
Disappear
Lines that told
The story right
Disappear
Disappear
All just words to the wise
Keep this sleep from my eyes
All just words to the wise
Keep this sleep from my eyes
Another me
Another world
Finds the words to say
Another me
Another world
Lives another day
All just words to the wise
Keep this sleep from my eyes
All just words to the wise
Keep this sleep from my eyes

Long Time Coming
05:08
|
|||
Winter snows slowly melt in the sun
A new day has only begun
These journeys melt into one
Unburdened, unfinished, undone
From tears to rivers
From the seas to skies
It's a long time coming as fools become wise
For every river
That flowed to the sea
It's a long time coming
Now you flow through me
As the fruit fell so far from the tree
The sand became one with the sea
Each captive now longs to be free
Each jailer hates every key
From tears to rivers
From the seas to skies
It's a long time coming as fools become wise
For every river
That flowed to sea
It's a long time coming
Now you flow through me

Perfect Circle
03:17
|
|||
If I could sing the greatest love song
If I could climb this tree
If I could draw the perfect circle
That is where you'd be
If you could only take a second
Second look at me
If you could only take an hour
Our eternity
Going nowhere, round and round
Perfect Circles, lost and found
Together we are so much more
From rainfall to the sea
Going round in perfect circles
That is where we'd be
Going nowhere, round and round
Perfect Circles, lost and found

You and I
03:27
|
|||
Walking through autumn streets as the wind cut through my thoughts
Stem the tide from defeat and losing the battle inside
You and I
Carried to the distant tides
Sailing uncharted skies
Driving the lonely roads
And the silence cuts through the night
The tears came so easy and I knew I had try to fight for
You and I
Carried to the distant tides
Sailing uncharted skies
Take the dive in the blue
No more monsters waiting
Resurface unknown only then are we sailing
You and I
Carried to the distant tides
Sailing uncharted skies

Chemistry Lessons
04:32
|
|||
I know you're hiding
In the shadows as I walk
An imprint on the life I lead
Where you left your mark
The universe stays silent
On how this comes to be
Mother Nature, mother nurture
Love or heredity
The best and worst of all worlds
Is the only one I see
And you somehow already knew
The best and worst of me
You know I'm trying
To overcome the doubt
Compressed like coal
In seams that wear me out
The scientist says nothing
Of the chemistry of love
Otherworld dimensions
I seem to be part of
The best and worst of all worlds
Is the only one I see
And you somehow already knew
The best and worst of me
I know you're hiding
In the shadows as I walk
An imprint on the life I lead
Where you left your mark

The Price of Soap
04:12
|
|||
So from a single thread
The dancing flickers gave us light
Dirty hands held out in prayer
Pray morning comes after night
Hanging by a single thread
Searching for the daily bread
Don't put heaven in our heads
Give us time to live instead
We pay the price of soap
Never to come clean
We pay the price of hope
Never time to dream

Far off Tides
04:23
|
|||
We were once on fire
With the plans we made
Set the world alight
Cut through like a blade
Watching from the shore
Dreams end at an empty door
Bound on all sides
Strapped into this fairground ride
Embers of the day
Watch the red sun fade
Like some castaway
Tomorrow's delayed
You're out of sight once more
Distance what we answer for
Across the great divide
Moonwashed home, far-off tides
On all sides
Dreams end at an empty door
Life divides
Dreams wash up on far-off tides
