KEEP SAFE

So you point out the sky
The beauty
The money
The jobs
Your dreams may have gone
But you show them the pictures
Painted
In the clouds
It’s hard to tell them
How much you love them
So you just ask them 
To keep safe

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

And loving them
Is loving yourself
Harder than expected
And hard to show
But sort of expected
And not easy
You want them to outrun you 
But you don’t want them to run too fast

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

Don’t miss the last bus
Don’t walk home alone
Saturdays we’d watch the football
We never really watched the football
I’m just imagining we had a better time
Than we did
I’m walking home alone now…

We did our best
You build a home
Now they’ll have to do the rest
We did our best
You build a hope
Now they’ll have to do the rest

But they don’t see it at the time
You build a home
You build a hope
But something’s always going wrong
Going wrong
They don’t see it at the time
They don’t see it at the time

Lyrics
Never seen the same cloud twice
Oh how they change
Oh how they change

Never seen the same snowflakes
Oh how they change
Oh how they change

I’ll be your shield
When the heavens open
I’ll be your shelter
If you lose your way
You’ll be my shield 
When the heavens open
You’ll be my shelter
In the pouring rain

Never held the same leaf twice
Oh how they drift
Oh how they drift
Never seen the same sun rise
Oh how how it glows
Oh how it glows...

CHANGES (by Still featuring Annie Smart)

Lyrics 
I was drawn to you
Like a moth to a flame
And I took to you
Like the sky takes the stars

One thing lead to another 
One thing lead me to you
One chance you gotta take it
Take me 
Don’t let me go...

Oh you call to me
Like the moon calls the ocean
I am drawn to you
Like the tide to the sand 

Chorus. 

Mmm mmm

One thing lead to another 
Like the moon calls the ocean...

ONE THING LEAD TO ANOTHER (with Leon Thorne on gorgeous guitars)

You call to me
From across the shore
The deepest sound
That I can't ignore
I call to you
Over hills and tides 
You hear my voice 
Over land and sky

Here come the waves
Here comes the tide 
Pulling us closer 
There may be rain
There may be clouds
Pulling us closer
In the gentle night

Here comes the dawn
And I think of you
Here comes the tide 
To wash over me
Reach out to me
Over oceans blue
Call out to me
I'll be there for you

Chorus

Here come the waves 
Here comes the tide
