My Dear, Oh Boy, Oh Man
03:10
|

Oh boy, oh man it’s here again
and I have known I should have let it go
This feeling always lingers lets me know there’s something out of my control
My dear, oh boy, oh man I can’t keep hold
Oh boy, oh man it’s here again
I should have build some walls around my heart
And even though I could have known I let it in and now I fall apart
My dear, oh boy, oh man this aching heart
Oh my it’s why I’m here again
I can’t come out from underneath your foot upon my chest
Hey Eros won’t you take this weight away and give me my heart back
My dear, oh boy, oh man just let me rest
My dear, oh boy, oh man it never lasts
Come here, my boy, my man just for the last time be mine
I guess it’s time to try to cut these string I’m like a puppet in a show
So I can walk all on my own but it seems these strings are all I’ve ever known. My dear, oh boy, oh man I’ve got to go

These Hands
03:48
|
|||
|
These hands have been places they should have never been
This mouth has spoken words better left unsaid
But done is done
This mind has imaged so many unimaginable things
These arms around the wrong of another being
But what’s done is done
And you can, you can,
Build a castle out of sand upon the promise of a handsome man
These feet have walked roads better left alone
The weeds grow through the sand
The weeds swallow the land
And these thoughts have build walls too strong to break apart
Let it out, let it out, to let it in, let it into my heart
Because what’s done is done
And you can, you can,
Build a castle out of sand upon the promise of a handsome man
Oh how to build upon foundations broken
To build upon confessions left unspoken
Like a silent cancer growing
Blissfully unknowing
But what’s done is done

Restless as A Bird
05:07
|
|||
|
Restless as the skies
These clouds, they’ll fly by
Powerless but I,
try shift them in my mind
Oh take, take me somewhere new
Take, take me far away
Restless as a bird
I fly out, I return
You’ve made me as a friend
And I will come back again
If you would take, take me somewhere new
Take, take me far away
Restless as the sound
I will come around
Hoping you’ll stay put
So we can
So we should
So you can
If you would
Take, take me somewhere new
Take, take me far away
Take, take my hand and say you will go where I go
You will fly when I fly
You will know what I know
Let us fly and make these restless skies our home

Knowing a Ghost
04:08
|
|||
|
Getting to know you know me
‘cause I wanna know you and I want you to know me
with all of my flaws & all my desires & all of the crazy thoughts I got
Getting to hold you, hold me in your space, create a space for me
Getting to be me, get you to be you, be you, don’t hide any parts
Won’t you come and stay with me here
Won’t you get on this bus, this plane and be with me, oh let’s be us
‘Cause there you are thinking that you love me
But what you love is a ghost, a ghost of me
And here I am thinking that I love you
But what I see is a ghost a ghost of you
knowing a ghost, knowing a ghost, knowing a ghost of you
All I know is a ghost, all I know is a ghost of you
So come and stand a little closer let me breathe you breathe us in
and shed this shield of invisibility read the core oh let me read you
Like the pages of a book I’d like to read, and read, and read again
Till I can dream I can repeat the words
and know them by heart
Till I know you by heart
Let me know you by heart
I want to know you by heart
There you are knowing that you love me
But what you love is a ghost, a ghost of me
And here I am knowing that I love you
But what I love is a ghost a ghost of you
knowing a ghost, knowing a ghost, knowing a ghost of you
And here we are and I can’t help but love this
I’ll still love this ghost love you with all that I know
Here we are and I can’t help but love this
I’ll still love this ghost you are my favourite ghost, you are my favourite ghost
And there’s no other I’d rather know
No ghost I would rather know

Here's the Plan
04:14
|

|
Here’s the plan
We can say
All we want, all we want
Here’s the map
We can go
Any place, we’d like to go
Let love grow & let it show
Let us be with all we own
Let it shine bright like the sun
Let love let us be as one
There’s no rules
We can make up our own
Bend the bars we’re taught to know
There’s no end
To this here
All we need, never fear
Let love grow & let it show
Let us be with all we own
Let it shine bright like the sun
Let love let us be as one
Here’s the plan
We can feel all we do
Stop the hiding like a fool would
Let love grow & let it show
Let us be with all we own
Let it shine bright like the sun
Let love let us be as one, let love let us be as one
Let love let us be as one

All is Love
03:05
|
|||
|
With the coming of age
And the coming and going of days
With the storms and the floods and the summer sun's rays
All is love, all is love
With the dark and the light
And the tears of laughter we cry
With the time and the ticking of clocks in the night
All is love, all is love
And please never forget, please never give up
In the dark of the night, all is light
Please never forget, please never give up
With the moon and the stars in the sky up above
All is love, all is love
With the baby’s first steps
And the hope we can pass on our best
With the smiles and the joy of what makes us connect
All is love
And I tie my heart to a string and connect it to yours
If I cry or I shout please never doubt it’s because
All is love, all is love
And please never forget, please never give up
In the dark of the night, all is light
Please never forget, please never give up
With the moon and the stars in the sky up above
All is love, all is love

I Would
03:51
|
|||
|
I would give anything anything just to be with you
and I would do anything anything just to make you smile even if only for a while
I would go anywhere anywhere just to stay with you
I would love everything everything of your mind
But you cant, you wont, you don’t know
I could be everything everything you have ever dreamed of
If you would if you would if you would let me stay
You could give everything everything that you are to me
If you would if you would if you would I would say
That we can, you know, we can grow
But only if you will, give some, give me something to hold
Hold on to, don’t go, don’t let go
‘cause all that I would want
All that I would want, all I would want is gone
Hold on, don’t go, don’t let go

The Wheel
03:48
|
|||
|
They tell us there is a place that we need, we need to get to
We keep on climbing to get to the top, to get up above
and we climb, and we climb, and we climb
They tell us there is a road to go by, it’s paved with memories,
haunting every try to get ahead to keep on driving
just to leave them behind
and we drive, and we drive, and we drive
Be the wheel that spins, be the wheel that drives
Be the light that shines and the dark that creeps beneath
Be the one that hopes for another’s home
Knowing all that we know is that we never know
oh keep your eyes on the road
He tells me he knows, where I should walk to
They tell me they know, who I should follow
But how could he know, oh surely he don’t, oh surely they don’t
So I drive, and I drive, and I drive
So I drive, and I drive, and I hope
That I’m the wheel that spins, and I’m the wheel that drives
That I’m the light that shines and the dark that creeps beneath
To be the one that hopes for another’s home
Knowing all that I know is that I never know
Be the wheel that spins, be the wheel that drives
Be the light that shines and the dark that creeps beneath
Be the one that hopes for another’s home
Knowing all that we know is that we never know
oh keep our eyes on the road
Try to keep your eyes on the road
Don’t tell me he knows, where I should walk to
Don’t tell me they know, who I should follow
‘cause how could he know, oh surely he don’t, oh surely they don’t
So I drive, and I drive, and I drive
So I drive, and I drive, and I drive

Every Inch Naked
04:47
|

|
Oh what it feels like, feels like to be real
Show me what it feels like, feels like to feel
Oh what it looks like. looks like to be true
show me what it looks like, looks like to be with you
Tell me what it sounds like, sounds like to sing
to have every word ring, ring ring true
and every word said, every word said
every word sung oh, every word sung about you
Oh how can we fight, how can we stop falling
When bodies collide, under a spell-bound, unfound can’t justify the lies
Tell me what it sounds like, sounds like to sing
to have every word ring, oh ring ring true
to have every word said, every word said
every word sung oh, every word sung about you
I sing sing sing, sing about you
and I dance dance dance, till the sun, till the sun
it sets and rises, rough and ready
here I am, here I am
and I sing sing sing, I sing over you
and we dance dance dance, till the sun, till the sun
it sets and rises, rough and ready, here I am
Every inch naked, every inch naked for you, naked for you

Forever in Your Heart
03:43
|
|||
|
Some will love you, some will hate
Some will follow and some will lead the way
Some will speak out, some will lie
Some would die for you and some will wonder why you didn’t try
Some will haunt you, some will never part
They keep the ghost of you forever in their hearts
In their hearts, in their hearts
Forever in their hearts
Their broken hearts
The one that mattered, the one that showed you hope
The one that picked you forever left alone
The one they speak of when asking how you are
The one you left behind forever in your heart
In your heart, in your heart
Forever in your heart
Your broken heart

The Seasons Will Change
03:53
|
|||
|
This point in time, a moment to be
As I take a step it’s already gone further to the sea
This point I make, is never quite right
As soon as the words are said I’ve changed my mind
It’s all just water running under, just water running under the bridge
The moment I have, it’s already gone
As quick as the morning comes the sun sets into dawn
And as I disappear, as quick as I find
I know it will come and go and come and go
It will come and go and come and go again
It’s all just water running under, just water running under the bridge
It’s all just water running under, all the water running under the bridge
I watch the stars, as the light sets in
I roam through the parks, as the trees shed their skin
The seasons will change, just as we will grow old
and I walk along, this winding road
oh won’t you come along, this winding road
Oh give me the water running under, the water running under the bridge
Drinking the water running under, all the water running under the bridge
‘Cause with the changing of the seasons, the changing of the feelings
it’s the thirst that will remind us just to let it all be water under the bridge

No Words
04:00
|
|||
|
Oh words, no words can say it
No smile, no hug will do
Oh words, no words can speak it
So in silence I am here
No meals, no meals can fill it
This void, this hunger for a breath
No eyes, no eyes can see it
So in darkness I am here
I’m here, I’m here, right here with you
I’m here, right here, here with you
No lines, no writing on a page
No letters written full of love could say
And time, time is fading away
I wish there was a way to make it stay
But I’m here, I’m here, right here with you
I’m here, right here, here with you
Come here I’ll be your shoulder to cry on when you need one
Don’t fear, we’ll all fly with the doves
And in time you’ll see these tears are only pools of love
In time you’ll see these tears are only pools of love
