1000 Years
When I look at you, all of those memories merge,
When I look at you
All of those memories hurt, when I think of you
For a 1000 years, and a thousand more
When we meet by chance,
Time moves so slow in this awkward dance,
Time moves so slow I can barely breath.
For a 1000 years, and a thousand more
Did you mean to tie me down,
Left to live in the sight of you.
Did you mean to tie me down,
Blind my eyes from the sight of you..
When you touch my hand
Help me to understand /what I cannot see
Help me to understand /what can never be
For a 1000 years, and a thousand more.

Cold Wet Ground
Honey won’t you pin me down, darlin on the cold wet ground
Tell me what we wanted, dreams so sharply altered
Baby won’t you pin me down
Pin me down, Pin me down, Pin me down
Tell me why the bruise don’t show, how were we supposed to know
All the things that wounded, terrorised and broke us
Tell me why the bruise don’t show
Bruise don’t show, Bruise don’t show, Bruise don’t show

Gone
When I'm with you, the sun is warm
When I'm with you, the nights are long
Even though we try, nothing much gets done
Even though I'm here, I’m Gone
When I'm with you, the world it slows
When I'm with you, my hunger shows
Even though we talked, nothing much gets said
Even though I'm here, I’m Gone
Gone... Gone
Even though we talk, nothing much gets said
Even though I'm here, I’m Gone
Even though we try, nothing much gets done
Even though I'm here, I’m Gone

When You Were Young

When you were young
There you come a running, tireless so it seemed
With the biggest eyes, we had ever seen
Now we see you hurting, slowing down your pace
Tiring of the struggle, pain upon your face
Baby, hold on to your dreams, baby, as hard as it may seem
When you were young, nothing seemed to hold you
When you were young, nothing seemed to hurt you
Maybe it ain’t so easy, sometimes not so clear
Stare into the darkness, trying to see some light
But here you can come a running, tireless so it seems
With the biggest eyes, we have ever seen
Baby, hold on to your dreams, baby, as hard as it may seem
When you were young, nothing seemed to hold you
When you were young, nothing seemed to hurt you
The words on yours arms are true, You’re enough just as you are
The lines on your skin are real, You’re enough , just as you are.
Baby, hold on to your dreams, baby, as hard as it may seem
When you were young, nothing seemed to hold you
When you were young, nothing seemed to hurt you

Angry Love
Angry Love’s will take you down
Angry Love’s gonna split the ground
Angry Love’s gonna drive a wedge
Angry Love’s might smack you dead
Smack you dead, Smack you dead, Smack you dead
Angry Love’s gonna wind you up
Angry Love don’t fill no cup
Angry Love don’t take no crap
Angry Love won’t look back
.
Angry Love’s gonna hit you first
Angry Love won’t quench your thirst
Angry Love don’t make no deals
Angry Love don’t care how you feel
Now you feel, how you feel, how you feel

Kingsview Road
When the light grows dim, all these colours look the same
In the swirling mist, all these faces look the same
Let me take your hand, the weakness of your skin
The memory of a child, at Kingsview Road
Behind the garden gate, all the flowers look the same
The golden light at dusk, impatient for the Autumn rain
Let me take your hand, the weakness of your skin
The memory of a child, at Kingsview Road
Eclipse the sun so bright with your passing

Breathe
Oh baby, let’s take a ride, Oh baby, on a broken night
Tell the world to run, Down those hills into the dawn
Oh baby , let’s make a deal, Oh, seal it with a kiss
When the seeds of fear , are playing with your mind
All the dreams you had, caught in the undertow
And you don’t have to feel so, all alone
Take a breath now, take a breath now
And everything is breaking up your soul
Take a breath now, take a breath now
And everything seems so undone, the raging of a dying sun
And everything seems so undone, like the recoil from a firing gun
Oh baby, let’s take a ride, oh baby, on a broken night
Tell the world to run, down those hills into the dawn
All the dreams you had, caught in the undertow (unison)
And you don’t have to feel so, all alone
Take a breath now, take a breath now
And everything is breaking up your soul
Take a breath now, take a breath now
And everything seems so undone, the raging of a dying sun
And everything seems so undone, like the recoil from a firing gun

Let Them Go

Let them go
See these scars under my skin, let them show, let them show
All the darkness we have seen, let them go, let them go
There’s a light above the waves, let them break, let them break
Tonight the earth, it opens up, let me fall, don’t let me fall
Let them go
Carve your message on this wall, let them know, let them know
When all is said and done, let them go, let them go.
Let them go

Palm of your Hand
In the light of a fading sun, send a message to the one I love
In the end it's what it is, a broken love that might never mend
And you know this was never what we had planned
But it's all that there is in the palm of our hands
Darling this life is a lonely ride, look at me I've no where to hide
And I can't go on, no I can't go on.
In the light of a fading sun, send a message to the one I love
If I told you we should hang on tight, buckle in, it’ll be alright
And you know this was never what we had planned
But it's all that there is in the palm of our hands
Darling this life is a lonely ride, look at me I've no where to hide
And I can't go on, no I can't go on.

River Red
Souls call out from the river red,tell the stories of the fallen dead
Take the heads from the burning grain, never forget their sacred names
Take them home
Listen in silence to the river red, sharpen your bayonets by the water’s edge
Send this message to a 1000 years, write on our hearts with our tears
Take them home

Carry You

Carry you
You were standing still, by the water’s edge
Sent a message there, floating on the tide
When I close my eyes, I see your waves
Reminds me of your face, reminds me of this place
When the grass grew high, from the warm summer rain
I would carry you, remember I can carry you
If the sea runs dry, and the winds fall still
The rain subsides, and the shores are still
If you look to me, If you see my face
I will carry you, you know that I can carry you
Carry you away, Carry you away.
If I could embrace, the slightest sense of grace
The emptiness I feel would let me go.
The tide would make its way, like any other day
The emptiness I feel would let me go
When the sea rolls in, kisses your feet
I would carry, remember I can carry you
If you look for me, if you see my face
I will carry, you know that I can carry you
Carry you away, Carry you away.

Baby don't cry
When you smile, look in your eyes, do you feel the pain, of a thousand miles
When you try, won’t take the wheel, can’t let you in, just turns away.
Baby don’t cry, these tear filled eyes, will bring you home again
Baby don’t cry, these tear filled eyes, will bring you home again
Do you feel, like it’s all too much, can’t take the stain, just push away
But you drive, on through the night, count all but loss, for a trickling light
Baby don’t cry, these tear filled eyes, will bring you home again
Baby don’t cry, these tear filled eyes, will bring you home again
