I swim to land for the ones I lost
I swim to land cause there’s no one I can trust here
I swim to you
You’re the only one to cling to now
I swim to you

The moment I had it was the moment I lost it
The moment I saw it I knew that I was blinded
And you will strive to be there when I come to

I swim to land for the ones I lost
I swim to land cause there’s no one I can trust
I swim to you
You’re the only one to cling to now
I swim to you

This is my story my unopened glory box of dreams
Wherever they find me let it be known I tried
Tried to revive you, lay down beside you


Swim To Land

The Do Do Doo Song

Ben Heaney - violin
Sabrina Shortland - cello

How very strange not to be sleeping in your arms
All of those years living in your pocket
How very queer to think of you with someone new
It’s hard to visualise but I know it’s coming

Take me on the high road
Take me where the sky glows
Kiss me in a hundred ways
You can take the load
I’ll just dip my toes in
I never felt so far away

Somebody told you I was hanging round your street
Looking like a kid lost at a fairground
Well I bought an ice cream and walked down to the sea
Now I’m just a tourist in my old hometown

Take me on the high road
Take me where the sky glows
Kiss me in a hidden place
And if we get old
We won’t tell a soul
I kissed you for a thousand days


	I’m ready now to say I fell apart
	Ready now to put my hand on my heart
	And say I looked over the edge
	I’m ready now to leave you where you are
	Ready now to pick up the pieces of me
	Blowing round your streets


A friend of a friend said I was drinking in your bar
Well I’m sure they must be mistaken
‘Cause this girl she was going on all night
Singing songs to strangers about love forsaken

Take me on the high road
Take me where the sky glows
You know every groove and every graze
Wherever I go
You’ll be on the slideshow
Of my very best nights and my saddest days


	I’m ready now to say I fell apart
	Ready now to put my hands on my heart
	And say I walked right to the edge
	I’m ready now to leave you where you are
	Ready now to pick up the pieces of me
	Left scattered round your streets

The High Road

You climbed up to the highest hill
Until the storm clouds lifted
The wind blew hard but you stood so still
The ground beneath me shifted

I made a hole for us to hide in
So you could roll down and feel safe inside it with me

I missed you with a weight so big
My bones sank into the dirt
Something blast inside my heart
It sent tremors through the earth

And when the avalanche started
I knew you come back here, you’d run to calm it down

We sat alone under a mile of stone
As every star exploded
Your face, so full of grace
I saw the love that I’d eroded

And in that hole I made for hiding
I weighed up all the love I’d been dividing

I made a home for me and you
To withstand any weather
I tore the sky limb from limb
So I could be your shelter

But you can’t hide the thing you love
You can’t keep what’s precious
Homes and bones will turn to dust
Only love is endless

I made a home for me and you
To keep us both together
I made it rain and hurricane
So you would stay forever

But you can’t hide the thing you love
You can’t keep what’s precious
Our homes and bones will soon be dust
But our love is endless

Hole To Hide In

You come home and out of the blue
I'm feeling good
You coming home and what can I say
You just made my day
'Cause I miss you when you're gone

And you are all I need

So take me on if you're so tough
'Cause the gloves are coming off
Take me on, you've got one shot
And then we can get started making up
'Cause your love's second to none

And you are all I need

Take me home at the end of the night
When I'm full of wine
Take me home to our big old bed 
And lay your head down next to mine
'Cause I have got you all alone

And you are all I need!

All I Need

I am free
Free as the birdsong and old as dust
And I am here 
Waiting for the balls and the chains to turn to rust

One man flies a flag
And he’ll march it to the ends of the earth
One man roams the land 
And he prays the rain will wash away his thirst


One more step along a road I'd rather not walk down
If you don't mind you should have left me tied to the railway line 
This is one more step along a road I'd rather not walk down 
With all respect you should have left that rope around my neck. 


I'm all at sea
But I'm kicking back with every single bone, every sinew
And what will be, no it doesn't have to be 
I’ve got a plan and I plan to see it through. 

One man fires a gun
To show the power in his hands
One man’s work is done
Another day is lost, and the killer thinks he won


One more step along a road I'd rather not walk down
If you don't mind you should have left me tied to the railway line 
This is one more step along a road I'd rather not walk down 
With all respect you should have left that rope around my neck.

Free

Salt on my skin
Sand in my hair
I'm still there

With my blue dress on
The sun on my legs
I'm still there

With the roof-top down
Trying to roll a cigarette
And the wind so loud
It felt like a jumbo jet
I swear we left the ground
For a second then

And you can say you drove a hundred miles of coast
But I know we flew
And I'm not one to boast but when you held me close
I felt beautiful
We ran and we swam and we danced in the sand
But most of all I loved being mid-air with you

Holding on tight
The road disappears
I'm still here

With the roof down
In a blur of blue and green
We laughed so loud
To be birds in the slipstream
And I close my eyes
And breathe you in

And you can say you drove a hundred miles of coast
But I know we flew
And I'm not one to boast but when you held me close
I felt beautiful
We drank and we swam and we danced in the sand
But most of all it was that moment mid-air with you

Mid-Air With You

I said I’d always love you
No matter what we went through
Now turning away from you
I keep on, keep on loving you

That don’t make it easier
It’s cruel as hell
There’s just no good in trying
No fair in farewell

Here come the tears, as hard as you come
As hard as it is to leave you
Here come the tears
Hard as your heart beats

I feel the thunder
That familiar sting
Fending off this hunger
With the wolves closing in

We say forever
But I don’t know what it means
Can't quite keep it together
Love hard and leave

Here come the tears, as hard as you come
As hard as it is to leave you
Here come the tears
Hard as your heart beats


Here Come The Tears

Your eyes all full of night
You stepped into the light 
And struck a match, we made a pact
And there it lay

On a summer day
I said ‘I’ve known your face 
A thousand years'
And time went still

     And I never stopped

Cradled in your arms
Circles on your palms
A spell was spun, two souls hung
In the balance

We buckled and we fell
The smell of you was mine and we were spiralling
And it felt like home
And it felt like dying

     And I never stopped loving you
     I never stopped wanting you

The damage done
We buried all we won
And I forced the distance
Found another home

In the darkness of my room
I think of you
And the body next to mine
Rolls and holds me

     And I never stopped loving you
     I never stopped wanting you

          Somehow the light gets through
          It pulls me it pulls me to you
          I don’t get too close
          Just enough to feel the glow
