# Lyrics

In time, you’ll hold this with love
But someday will come, I'll wanna take it right back from you

Its all I have, a seed to feed
With all your wants, and all of your needs

—

Its fine to run, I’m waiting right here for you 
You’re free to go, to find a life worth loving

All I wish is your time to bloom
To feast upon the world that lays before you

An empty heart
A beat that waits to start

-

As time weaves its silent dance
In its folds, I'll softly fade
Yet in your hearts melody
I will always stay
Hold in mind
keep what you learned
Until the time
for your return

-

In time, my arms will open for you
A warm embrace, to take back all that I once gave you

A heart fulfilled, a journey's art
life richly lived, in love we play our part

Time spent, A cherished life you brought back to me
Its all I have, its all that you gave me

In Love's Return

Through mountains and hills

on your mark

get ready to

cannonball

into the blue



after swimming

sparkle all around you

catch the sound

breakers breaking



stop the boat

get ready to

pick a spot

to slip into



after swimming

as the sunlight bakes you

summer sips

on a sand dune



after swimming

after swimming

come swimming

After Swimming

Le vent des dunes

A Kind Of Longing EP

Self Help Song

We live together 

Forgive together

We drift together

Down shift together

Entwined in time forever


We'll die together 

Finite together

Expire together 

Confined together

Inside of the fire forever more


Living Ghosts, 

A parasitic illest will, a hosts

Innermost fears 

A shiver knows

The misery of all our mirror foes

A sinner's own tears 


Time to realise you only ask

For a disaster when you find 

Youre only coming for the ride

A life of looking for a

Happy ever after…

Then you die


We thrive together

Nose dive together

Survive together 

Arrive together 

Consigned… 


Killer blows, 

To the elation every sinner knows

Heaven knows why

Unopposed, 

Without event another winner goes

Revelling by


Pause that start, I couldn't face it…

Stripping the heart back naked

Slowly smothered and erased it

All of the love you've wasted


Fall apart, I couldn't take it…

Gripping the dark hand, shaking

Lonely, just copied and pasted

All of the love you've wasted


But i wont say I'm afraid 

to walk away, so I just stay


But i wont say I'm afraid 

to walk away, so I just pray a whisper



Together

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

High in a mountain sky
Feel yourself fly
Oh spread your wings

Run across the forest floor
Running by a sparkling stream
Just follow your dream

Chorus

Be, will you be the one
Be, will you be the one
Be, ah set us free
Baby let’s run

See, see the eagle fly
Across the sky
Over the mountains high

Fly away
Above the trees
To a place you need to be, need to be

Chorus

Solo

Chorus x 2

In Love's Return
