Child

Child
Child is my soul (Child is my soul that gets hurt too easily)
Th' place I can go in the world, and try to return
…Back, back in the world, with a new skin and a new heart.
And with hope, it will be shown perfect love.
I won't be afraid to love, and I won't hear you knocking at my door -
you've been before to gather crowds of darkened cloud.
Time will show me colours and more again.
Warming light will fall upon my skin.
Lead me to the rainbows by the sea and place a girl in my world
So it can be beautiful.

In Wintertime, I'll Love
02:09

In Wintertime I’ll Love
And in wintertime I'll love
Having someone to think of
And when frosty wind made moan
I’ll feel my heart to keep me warm
‘Til the summer turns me cold

Holy Cannoli!

Holy Cannoli!
Holy Cannoli!
I'm walking on weary legs that should be in my bed,
But somebody met me outside at 3am - it’s good to see her again
The Hudson saw us kiss
As daylight hit our heads.
And I never want this to end
Walking and talking, feeling at ease by her side - a tour without a guide. We're finding amazement at every tree-lined street.
My feet can feel the beat of my heart
The Hudson saw us kiss,
As daylight hit our heads.
The Hudson saw us kiss
As daylight kissed our heads.
And I never want this to end

Waiting For A Plane

Waiting For A Plane
You are over there, and I'm still here waiting for your plane to arrive here.
While my head was in the clouds, I failed to see your plane was sitting on the ground.
It never took flight like mine
We'd play it out for real.
The silent reel that flickered in my head and showed me perfect summer days.
Now this frown will hide these eyes from the missing frames, hidden games and summer love. With leading lady lost from view
You are over there, and I’m still here looking at a man who reminds me of myself.
And while this dark cloud tries, I'll stay standing still 'til autumn takes my hand and helps me find a girl
And distance can be our friend,
Come closer, closer...i'm in love!

You Used To Make It Real

You used to make it real
Take some time to get off my mind, while everyone is here for you.
Tick a while - can only write a smile…it's written on my face, but I remember long ago that you used to make it real
The boy inside can't understand your lies.
Trusting fool, am I naive?
Need to find another skin.
Crushing pain comes deep within.
My bones don't want to try when I hear another lie that you use to make me think, just because I cry I’m going to give in
Missing girl threw me out to sea, and I'm not even trying to swim.
Smiling that the redness on her skin burns a hole deep in my soul, she taps her ash within.
I can't defend with arms, I can’t defend with tears.
I can't defend with arms, I can’t defend with tears.
I'm holding onto something that looks different every day,
I really should let go when the past and future tenses have nothing left to say.
No-one really knows that at night, when lying on one side, I cry and can't hold still.

Dear Light
I would count the lights.
We would both agree and carefully we would plot our way.
You were safe with me, rhythm of my dreams.
Leave me here so I can play
I'm only living here, since you turned out the lights.
Dear light! How I want you to notice me
I’m lonely living here, since you turned out the lights.
Dear light! Now I want you to notice me
You were here with me, even my dreams
– “dress you as a book” I'd say.
All the books left home, words are ghosts round here
leaving me with nothing to say
I'm only living here, since you turned out the lights.
Dear light! How I want you to notice me
I’m lonely living here, since you turned out the lights.
Dear light! Now I want you to notice me

Holy Water

Holy Water
In my life, I’ve adored one girl, you girl.
Every morning, I saw love, in your eyes love.
Now I walk for miles alone, to try and find my way back home
I would lay my head on you, for as long as you need.
And I would play my saddest tune, just as long as you need my love
All my nights, now are long…sleepless…sleepless…
I'm not where I belong, in your arms girl.
Holy water leaves my eyes for you and falls upon the floor
I would lay my head on you, for as long as you need.
And I would play my saddest tune, just as long as you need my love

Feather

Feather
Everything I do makes me feel guilty for wanting you.
Everything i feel pains me sincerely - i can't be with you
I want to try to get by without your feather
I need to lean, on what i've been, But not forever
Every sight of you makes me sigh.
Clearly, I'm having trouble keeping thoughts of you in the back of my mind forever.
I want to be, tenderly, entwined together
But aimlessly, i fall between, such doubt and error
What will we do without, when autumn falls into winter?
The feather sat on my shelf, does not bring forth the right answer

I Wish I Were A Fish
“Rita…Rita when I met you drifting out to sea, my jumper warmed you next to me.
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song as I'm getting things wrong.
Rita, fleet were ideas that spilled from my head onto these keys, split when you brought me to my knees.
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song as I'm getting things wrong.
I'd love to say that I've been myself in front of you
And not regret that shyness stops me coming through.
But as that’s part of me, I guess that it's down to you to see me…find me
…find me and brush the hair from my eyes and say hello.
Rita, why do I find hidden meanings that aren’t there, existing only in my head?
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song and I'm getting things wrong.
Rita, it’s clear that I was not prepared to meet your eyes.
This modest man was still a child.
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song and I'm getting things wrong.
I can't recall much of our encounters.
Like dreams they form in jumbled thoughts and actions.
But they were part of learning to swim alone again, but this time I’m not a child.
Rita…Rita once I met you drifting out to sea…and now I wish I were a fish”

You Stupid Girl
You stupid girl, why must you be so lonely?
It's too hard for me to bear when you sleep away our love
...was beautiful, and now you're gone I have to face it on my own. Disappearing girl I knew for so long.
You stupid girl, why must you be so lonely?
It's too hard for you to bear so you sleep away
our love...was beautiful, and now it has gone you have to face it on your own.
Disappearing girl I knew for so long. So long.

For All We Know
We were good friends. No-one else compared.
But how can I try to understand what has already disappeared from view?
For all we know it has been just a lie and the time that we spent is a dream gone by
In fond memory of the tears that I cried I couldn't raise you a smile on this face if I tried
Give me a moment to stand and then move on.
You knock me off my feet and wonder why I’ve barely moved since you have gone
For all we know it has been just a lie and the time that we spent is a dream gone by
In fond memory of the tears that I cried I couldn't raise you a smile on this face if I tried

Don't Go To Sleep

Don’t go to sleep
You keep on coming over,
I’ve forgotten the way you smile
In truth I fear the hereafter
It’s true I’ve been here a while
Don’t go to sleep...
