Love
03:13
|
|||
I don't know why, but I contemplate it every day
How we got to be this way
There's no logic to the narrative i have with you
It doesn't matter what you say
You're no angel and I'm no demon
I don't know what i was thinking of
And if this life has any kind of meaning, then it's love, then it's love
I can't explain, the shelter that I've found with you
You're a refuge every night
I cast around, looking for a road to choose
It's simply hiding in plain sight
You're no angel and I'm no demon
I don't know what i was thinking of
And if this life has any kind of meaning, then it's love, then it's love

Summer fool
03:20
|

Chorus:
Keep the flame of autumn round your neck like a jewel
Please don't let your heart be overruled
Hold me in your orbit as the stars cling to the moon
I'll try not be your summer fool
Verse 1:
The sadness of the winter I just want to forget
Pains and bags and brokenhearted
My past casts a shadow like a sun silhouette
The engine's cold but it's time to restart it
Verse 2:
It's hard to see where I've made a mark
On lives and dreams and sunlit gardens
You're a piece of work and I'm no walk in the park
Don't look back, it's the past that's departing

The letter that you wrote finally made it to my door
A single sheet of paper, cutting to my core
The letter that your wrote three days before you died
Forty five years later is resting by my side
There were years I searched for you in every woman that I knew
That wasn't their role to play
Many times we've talked, but you're never in the room
Just wanted you to know that I did ok
The letter that you wrote because I wanted to come home
The Easter of my lifetime, by your summer you were gone
The letter that you wrote from a seaside caravan
There's still a part of that sad boy that lives in this grown man.

River
04:39
|
|||
Running down by the river, it's lying heavy on my mind
The thought of you with him, there's no peace that i can find
And when I finally get back home, I sit still in my room
But you're still in my mind, and in my head, a hint of your perfume
Chorus
For everything there is a season
And every season has an end
Though I've tried I find no reason
So for now I'll just pretend
I run again on the path by the river, on my lips is half a smile
Those lovely eyes still haunt me, and bolster my denial
You can't help who you love or who you lose, as I've found out to my cost
If I had the chance I know that I'd still choose the love I had and lost.
Chorus
For everything there is a season
And every season has an end
Though I've tried I find no reason
So for now I'll just pretend
And though my heart still feels like stone
Down by the river I feel free again.

A reason in the rain
03:24
|
|||
There are long journeys to be travelled and many tears to fall
There are high mountains and deep rivers,
And never any sense to it at all
Chorus
But if you stay with me all the days that remain
The good and the bad days, the joy and the pain
Then we'll find a reason in the rain
A star in the darkness, and a light on the midnight homeward going lane
There'll be changes to our old ways, to some friends farewell
The past is a foreign country
And it's there all the fallen angels dwell

Catastrophe
03:12
|
|||
Assess the garden wall from my window
Got the lights in my head, I feel a warm glow
This absurdity, what can be should be
I’m just glad you're here with me, in this catastrophe.
It's laid bare the inequality.
We need to break free from this ideology.
The money's gone one way, we're left in disarray
And it won’t be them who pay for this catastrophe.
I’m just glad you're here with me, in this catastrophe.

Great leap forward
02:58
|
|||
Riding the years to when I was younger, a photograph with a knowing stare
Setbacks couldn't put out the hunger,
I called it hope but it looks just like despair
I'm losing faith in this frozen nation, I can't take any more lies
Feeling damned by discrimination and too many early goodbyes
Big shot's planning some tax evasion, acts likie a regular guy
Foodbanks needed to block starvation, waiting for the the great leap forward
Stare at my self in the bathrroom mirror, a worn grey face with a rueful smile
The future we wanted it seems no nearer
Maybe it's better just living in denial
Species close to extermination, waters continue to rise
Ruling class leads the conversation, all I can see's compromise
People believe the misinformation, don't try ot rationalise
I'm just stuck in my rumination, hoping for the great leap forward
I'm losing faith in this frozen nation, I can't take any more lies
Feeling damned by discrimination and too many early goodbyes
Big shot's planning some tax evasion, acts likie a regular guy
Foodbanks needed to block starvation, working for the the great leap forward

Fools in love
04:37
|
|||
Fools in love, well are there any other kind of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your crazy love
Your crazy love, your crazy love, your crazy love
Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they've lost the game
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your crazy love
Your crazy love, your crazy love, your crazy love
Fools in love, they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel more pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know
I should know because this fool's in love again
Fools in love, gently hold each other's hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb
Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even your rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing, except you and your crazy love
Your crazy love, your crazy love, your crazy love
Fools in love, they think they're heroes
'Cause they get to feel more pain
I say fools in love are zeros
I should know
I should know because this fool's in love again

Losing you
04:55
|
|||
I'm not sure what you want, just fear it's not me any more
I walk in the room, you cast your eyes to the floor
Don't know what I've done, racking my brains for what's wrong
The way things are going, I think you'll be gone before long
I'm losing you
Can't take the pain
It's clear I'm losing you
Got to start again, again
Don't know what you want
You cast your eyes to the floor
Racking my brains for what's wrong
I think you'll be gone before long
I'm losing you
Can't take the pain
It's clear I'm losing you
Got to start again, again

She shines
02:52
|
|||
She shines like an angel, her eyes like a summer breeze
That brings to the table everything the world does need
In her mind she holds a little sign, says she's not good enough to be loved
Like a broken ship tangled in a twisted net, taking on the bitterness of the flood
She shines like an angel, her eyes like a summer breeze
That brings to the table everything the world does need
A body lies between the wounds, how come you've not heard the news
She shines like an angel, her eyes like a summer breeze
That brings to the table everything the world does need
I see her as a flame, a fire to be saved,
From the shards of the night, that come to light our way
In a world of such deceit, it's the truth that we should seek
She shines
She shines like an angel, her eyes like a summer breeze
That brings to the table everything the world does need

In my life
03:34
|
|||
There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Sometimes I talk to myself
I speak the words I can't say to anyone else
Scared to admit I don't know my lines
Stumbling over some future farewell
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in my soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all
Sometimes i look in her eyes
I see a place where there's no need for any more words
I don't know what's next, leave it to the fates
But in our garden there'll always be birds
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in my soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all
I don't know what's next, leave it to the fates
But in our garden there'll always be birds

Song for Emlyn
02:25
|
|
||
The world is on fire, fell down the abyss
But in your eyes, I see a glimmer of the way out of this
Innocence and beauty, entranced by your gaze
And in your eyes, I'll find a promise for the rest of my days
And in your eyes, I'll find a promise for the rest of my days
