Are You There 04:43
lyrics
buy track
There in the daylight Lying in the afterglow There in the twilight Resting in the shade below There in the starlight Everywhere I go I find you There There in the outside In the shadow of my fear There in grey sky Taking your sword to my ear There in the lost night Never disappear I find you there There There (You're never really there) There, there There, there You're never really there You're never really there You're never really there There in the rainbow Underneath the indigo I find you There in the shadow On the frontier plateau I find you You're never really there There, there There, there You're never really there There, there There, there You're never really there There, there There, there You're never really there

A Portrait of Someone (2023) 02:27
lyrics
buy track
A portrait of someone hangs there in the hall But whom it may be, well I don't know at all Its angle is muted, its passion oblique Its features align but its texture won't speak Yet standing with you I can see its eyes Shining Like the lightning Shining Like the lightning My history's hopeless, my geography's poor But maybe I sense who it is after all Perhaps you can help me; your aim is acute Perhaps you can help me discover the truth For standing with you I can see its eyes Shining Like the lightning Shining Like the lightning For standing with you I can see its eyes Shining Like the lightning Shining Like the lightning Blinding Still I'm hiding Blinding Still I'm hiding

Five in the Morning 03:23
lyrics

Five in the morning You say day begins at five in the morning Five in the morning You say day begins at five in the morning Fire in the dawning You say darkness burns with fire in the dawning Set me down Only wake me when it's over Five minute warning You say God will give a five minute warning Five minute warning You say God will give a five minute warning Nine bells are calling You say we will rise when nine bells are calling Set me down Only wake me when it's over You said we would be here But now You said we would be there Right now You said they'd never hear But now You say we won't show fear Now Nine angels falling You say we will rise as angels keep falling Nine angels falling You say we will rise as angels keep falling Five in the morning You say day begins at five in the morning Set me down Only wake me when it's over

Half Way Home (2023) 04:24
lyrics
buy track
We don't always drink carefully We drink when we're alone But now we're sitting prayerfully Half way home And practise who we want to be Can't see unless we're shown Illuminated next to me Half way home Remember how we used to breathe The scent of your cologne Dissipating in the breeze Half way home Now Half way home Now It feels almost like yesterday Voiceless on the phone In a silent cabaret Half way home Now Half way home Now We're Half way home Now We're Half way home Now We're Half way home Now So now we glide on patiently Aglow amid the gloam In pity yet courageously Half way home Now Half way home Now We're Half way home Now We're Half way home Now We're Half way home Now

Amazed (2023) 03:59
lyrics
buy track
The blue is out, the night forgotten Down to the shore to show itself Wake in the dark By the dim headlights The blue is out on the silent screen The time has gone, the time has come, for me to breathe But with you it's only true when I believe When I believe the tracks deceive me in the flame And I'm ablaze, awashed, amazed, but feel the same So show me, throw me in the water To wash away the soul of shame In the darkened light Silent, silent scream You throw me deep in the water's stream The time has gone, the time has come, for me to breathe But with you it's only true when I believe When I believe the tracks deceive me in the flame And I'm ablaze, awashed, amazed, but feel the same

Issyvoo (for Sam) 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Nineteen thirty-five And it's a doddle You're taking apart all that you've become Nineteen thirty-five And it's so easy You're tying up all that you've undone The time is right for all that you've become Oh Issyvoo, Issyvoo Where are you? You're driving me out of control Where are you now? Oh Issyvoo, Issyvoo Don't look before you leap You're drowning in your sleep Please drown me now Nineteen eighty-five You're looking young now You're making your mark, shaking the dark refrain Nineteen eighty-five Is coming to get you But you'll make it safe You'll make it sane again It's never the same It's changing its name again Oh Issyvoo, Issyvoo Where are you? You're driving me out of control Where are you now? Oh Issyvoo, Issyvoo Don't look before you leap You're drowning in your sleep Please drown me Now

Did You Hear The One About The Englishman (2023) 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He set his futures on fire Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He ripped out his sutures for wire He throttled creative desire Did you hear the one about the Englishman? In winter he mocked all the snow Did you hear the one about the Englishman? In springtime his blossom did grow But summertime brought back the snow Majesty Majesty Majesty Flaming majesty Flaming majesty Flaming majesty Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He'll tell you that everything's fine Did you hear the one about the Englishman? He swallowed his history divine

Son Don't give up on the girl Son Don't give up on the pearl Don't worry father They're to close to see I'll let them be Don't worry father Just stay close to me We'll just let them go Son You're drifting with the tide Son You're tetherless inside Don't worry father You were empty too When I was you Don't worry father We will see this through We'll just let them go Son Son Son

The edge The sea The count to three The breath The air The silent stare The wash The wave The things to save The depth The light The will to fight The step The leap The endless sleep The fear The hope The dare to cope The scent The sound The look around The way The night The truth, the light Every pulse Every care Every kiss Every glare Every mouth Every cheek Every day Every week Every branch Every leaf Every trial Every sleep Every song Every verse Every gift Every curse Every place Every time Every cue Every sign Leads up to here The grasp The tides The path divides The home The car The tiny star The warmth The smile The fallen child The end The start Th'infernal heart Every pulse Every care Every kiss Every glare Every mouth Every cheek Every day Every week Every branch Every leaf Every trial Every sleep Every song Every verse Every gift Every curse Every place Every time Every cue Every sign Leads up to here The step away The break of day
