A Lovers Tale 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Is our life to be some kind of tragedy or play Showing the way with something to say for others Or was it meant to be made so commercially for sale Set not to fail, some box office tale for lovers Now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too And now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too And if I’m found to be too much emotionally involved To find the resolve to hold on to all my senses And if I purposely hide how it feels to see me cry The tears never dry when feelings are just pretences Now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too And now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too And if the song remained unclear Would your eye still find a tear of understanding These words of love so frail Were once a lovers tale so young and strong And if the song remained unclear Would your eye still find a tear of understanding These words of love so frail Were once a lovers tale so young and strong Is our life to be some kind of tragedy or play Showing the way, with something to say for others And was it meant to be made so commercially for sale Set not to fail, some box office tale for lovers Cos now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too Yeah now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too Now I’m close to you, feeling what you’re feeling too Now I’m close to you

Somethings you come to late in life And there are things you leave behind All these things mean something All these things mean something The things you keep the things you lose All these things are part of you Somethings you always keep inside And other things just pass you by But all these things mean something All these things mean something The things you keep the things you lose All these things are part of you So let yourself be liberated from what you created in your past What is gone is over so brush it off your shoulder Your time is moving grab it fast Somethings you learn from your mistakes Like what you give is what you take All these things mean something All these things mean something The things you keep the things you lose All these things are part of you Somethings are worth the wait Like love and hope and faith All these things mean something All these things mean something The things you keep the things you lose All these things are part of you So let yourself be liberated from what you created in your past What is gone is over so brush it off your shoulder Your time is moving grab it fast Somethings you come to late in life And there are things you leave behind All these things mean something All these things mean something The things you keep the things you lose All these things are part of you All these things All these things All these things are part of you

You don’t need to fear the night And you don’t need to pray for light Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now You don’t need to hide within And you don’t need to always win Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now There’ll be a time when you’ll have to stand alone There’ll be a time when you will not be so strong There’ll be a time when you’ll realise that You don’t need to fear the night And you don’t need to pray for light Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now There’ll be a time when you’ll have to stand alone There’ll be a time when you will not be so strong There’ll be a time when you’ll realise that You don’t need to fear the night And you don’t need to pray for light Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now Cos in this darkness I can see through your eyes now

Future’s We Plan 03:11
lyrics

Futures we plan Become the memories of the past And where we stand so strong now Will be dust It’s easy enough to predict the path of a certainty It’s easy for us to put our trust in immortality In dreams we have Escapes that upon waking, pass The morning skies Witness the memory of the loss It’s easy enough, to predict the path of a certainty It’s easy for us, to put our trust in immortality Oh yeah Oh yeah It’s easy enough, to predict the path of a certainty It’s easy for us, to put our trust in immortality Futures we plan Become the memories of the past And where we stand so strong now Will be dust

I Can Tell By Your Eyes 03:05
lyrics

Quiet now your force is spent You’ve calmed your shaking fears And you have found your way again I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving me So who do you turn to When the ones you wanted most Just fade away from view I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving me Sweet thoughts fading as the night grows chill Shadows are rising As the movement keeps you still I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving I can tell by your eyes I can tell by your eyes you’re leaving me

Look Up To The Sky 03:13
lyrics

I’ve been staring at the ground too long I’ve been dragging my feet I’ve been looking too hard to see where I’ve been I’ve been wishing my life away I’ve been wasting my time I’ve been waiting so long I missed everything Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky I’ve been scratching the earth away I’ve been digging beneath I’ve been searching to find what I’ve always seen I’ve been swimming the darkest sea I’ve been lost in the deep I’ve been looking too hard to see anything Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky So don’t wish your life away Don’t waste your time Start looking to hold onto what you find Why don’t you raise your head Set yourself free Look up from the ground and you’ll see Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky Look up, look up to the sky

Kate 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Mystified by something she cried Screaming like the lover in a Wuthering Heights Was the scream on the plastic Or the cry from your heart In the eyes, a growing confusion Looking to her youth to find a final solution To the conflict she draws on For her heart to grow stronger in her song So let them cry for you Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody Being the last in love Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose James, she cried, out of the album Get yourself a gun or be shot with your back turned The only heart that was broken By the tune she played out loud Of your age you are the oldest Christ you know when it’s hard to control it Friends fall like flies From the wall you built to hide yourself away So let them cry for you Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody Being the last in love Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose So let them cry for you Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody Being the last in love Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose James, she cried, out of the album Get yourself a gun or be shot with your back turned The only heart that was broken By the tune she played out loud Of your age you are the oldest Christ you know when it’s hard to control it Friends fall like flies Off the wall you built to hide yourself away So let them cry for you Kate I know that everyone looks to you, everybody Being the last in love Kate I know that you’ll be the first to lose

Open Your Eyes 03:22
lyrics

When you look out your window what do you see Does the sun shine brightly is the grass always green When you step out of your door onto the street Where will this journey take your feet You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go Until you hit the highway, let the river flow You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be Until you open your eyes until you learn to see What you need to see When you look out your window what do you see Is the world the kind of place you want it to be When you step out of your door onto the street What kind of people will you meet You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go Until you hit the highway, let the river flow You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be Until you open your eyes until you learn to see What you need to see Ask yourself a question Do you do enough Each life should be a lesson In learning how to love You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go Until you hit the highway, let the river flow You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be Until you open your eyes until you learn to see You’ll never know which way you’ve got to go Until you hit the highway, let the river flow You’ll never know which way it’s gonna be Until you open your eyes until you learn to see

Shot Of Guilt 03:42
lyrics
buy track
I’m drawing on now and the nights grow dark I bring the ice and the wind and the rain I’m coming back to break your heart I’ll make you wish it was summer again I am the night that comes in winter I make the rain on a summer’s day I make you fall in love in springtime And then in winter I take it away Remember in the summer your happiness overflowed Walking in the woodland and bubbling down the road Remember how you laughed and how you sang Carefree and lightly you went stepping down the sand And then you felt it, that shot of guilt Taking knocks at your heart And then you felt it, that shot of guilt and ask yourself Why did you fall in love, why did you fall in love Why did you fall in love again Remember how you laughed and you joked about it all Do you remember saying that your love would never ever die But you never really reckoned on this And now you sit at home and again you cry And then you felt it, that shot of guilt Taking knocks at your heart And then you felt it, that shot of guilt and ask yourself Why did you fall in love, why did you fall in love Why did you fall in love again

Sweet Lies 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Sweet lies and arrogant smiles Tell me all I need to know About the things that you won’t show to me Now I’ve guessed the true intention Of what you planned to do Inside, where something had died A burning hope replaced the void An emptiness she only showed to me Now I’d tainted her illusion Of what she thought she knew But remember The beauty in the fulfilment of a dream May not take what you’ve got To be revealed Tears cried from innocent eyes Had me fooled before I knew There is so much more for you than me Now you've touched your true ambition And nothing else will do But remember The beauty in the fulfilment of a dream May not take what you’ve got To be revealed But remember The beauty in the fulfilment of a dream May not take what you’ve got To be revealed Sweet lies and arrogant smiles Tell me all I need to know About the things that you won’t show to me Now I’ve guessed the true intention Of what you planned to do

You vs Me 03:20
lyrics
buy track
You’re quite the one For putting me on the spot dear But don’t you realise what you’ve got here Is something more than you can understand You’re quite naive To ever leave yourself so open When everything around you’s broken More than you will ever quite believe And so now it seems That you vs me Is just part of the scene we’ve become And every mistake Is harder to shake But anyway, I’d rather make them alone So learn to move on You’re not alone I haven’t gone, I’m still around here But that really isn’t so profound dear I didn’t stay because I wanted you You’re so sincere To say that what you fear the most is To have me leave you when the joke is You already left me years ago And so now it seems That you vs me Is just part of the scene we’ve become And every mistake Is harder to shake But anyway, I’d rather make them alone So learn to move on

Crossed That Line 03:38
lyrics
buy track
I’m not gonna be the one
To help you back when you have gone You know where the door is get your coat And I’m not gonna be the one
To ask you where it all went wrong
Words of truth just get stuck in your throat And I’m not gonna waste my time arguing about who’s right I don’t care who you think’s gotta pay
I’m sick of listening to it all, I’ve seen the writing on your wall Time is up I’m calling it a day Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would Cos did you ever take the time To stop and think before you crossed that line I don’t care for things you say
It makes no difference anyway
You would never say it to my face
You go to leave but always stay
And live to fight another day
Well you know I don’t have this time to waste Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would Cos did you ever take the time To stop and think before you crossed that line Well I’m not gonna be the one
To come back crawling when it’s done You know I got better things to do
So shoot your mouth off load that gun Take your best shot now I’m gone Nothing really matters now we’re through Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would Cos did you ever take the time Should I feel sorry for you, yeah, perhaps maybe I should You have a fragile state of mind
Should I still worry about you, yeah, as if I really would Cos did you ever take the time To stop and think before you crossed that line
