Oh! these thoughts of mine, 
I’m having difficulty telling 
all the ocean from the brine 
I thought I saw a better me 
I walked a world apart 
But then discovered that it couldn’t be 

These voices are whispering to me 

Looking in your eyes 
I find I’m fallen down but then 
I wake to realise 
There’s nothing in me now 
That would sooner leave it all 
and exit with a crooked bow 

These voices are whispering to me 

And when I waked 
I cried to dream again 
Opened my eyes 
Remembering the light 

Faith, I know not where 
I am heading and I’m not sure 
why you’d ever care 
If all it ever took 
Was one small bite then dare I 
take a second look? 

These voices are whispering to me 
Tempting me; offering the sky 

And when I waked 
I cried to dream again 
Opened my eyes 
Remembering the light 
Shutting them tight 
I tried to dream but then, 
Facing the day, I move on 
With fading memories of night

The Way Home

Dream Again

Well I don’t know what to tell you 
It’s been on my mind for all this time 
And it’s not blowing smoke to say that something’s wrong 
Tell me you wouldn’t argue 
Tell me you’d be the same as me 
Tell me anything that inures me from the pain I feel 
Then nothing bad in this world can touch me 

Every time I see your face I feel my heart descend a little more 
Every time I realise that it’s over then it’s over again 
Every time I tell myself the lies to make it all ok 
Then I truly know it’s going to be ok 

Well I’m not sure that I am ok 
and to be perfectly honest 
it’s not helping me that I can’t get away from you 
When I need some distraction 
When I need to get away 
When it’s happiness or peace that I can’t do without 
Then I shut my eyes so very tight but then... 

Every time I see your face I feel my heart descend a little more 
Every time I realise that it’s over then it’s over again 
Every time I tell myself the lies to make it all ok 
Then I truly know it’s going to be ok 

Well I don’t know how to say this 
But I’m getting on by myself just fine 
And it’s all the little things that keep me a-ok 
Turns out that I’m strong 
Turns out there was nothing wrong 
Turns out all you ever need is a little discipline 
That and a lot of looking the other way 

Every time I see your face I feel my heart descend a little more 
Every time I realise that it’s over then it’s over again 
Every time I tell myself the lies to make it all ok 
Then I truly know it’s going to be ok

I confess 
I love the autumn; 
Falling leaves are best 
And I must stress 
That winter 
Never fails to impress 
And then the springtime 
Well that’s when I’m happiest 
Oh but it feels like summer is on its way 

And we’ll be dancing in the sun 
We’ll be hoping that the moment will never end 
All the songs we love to sing 
Every memory that they bring; 
When we lose ourselves yeah 

Summer sun 
You bring colour 
To everyone 
When we run 
Through meadows 
When we come undone 
From lakes to golden shores 
Burning sands to open doors 
Rolling greens and drunken fun 
Oh and it feels like summer is on its way 

And we’ll be dancing in the sun 
We’ll be hoping that the moment will never end 
All the songs we love to sing 
Every memory that they bring; 
When we lose ourselves yeah 

When we lose ourselves 
Oh when we lose ourselves 
And it feels like summer is on its way 

And we’ll be dancing on the sand 
Round the fire as the evening just burns away 
No more thought for yesterday; 
No more dwelling on our fate 
’til the morning comes 

And we’ll be dancing in the sun 
We’ll be hoping that the moment will never end 
All the songs we love to sing 
Every memory that they bring; 
When we lose ourselves yeah 

And we’ll be dancing in the sun 
We’ll be dancing in the sun 
We’ll be dancing in the sun 
We’ll be dancing in the sun 

(And we’ll be running and playing and dancing in the sun 
All except the moment forgotten 
And we’ll be laughing and singing and dancing in the sun 
Soaring over every problem) 

(Endlessly dancing in the sun 
Hoping it will never end 
Endlessly dancing in the sun 
Hoping it will never end)

Dancing In The Sun

In summer sun 
I sang my song 
And I knew I meant all of the words 

Thought I could burn for a long time 
All by myself 
Standing alone but not ‘cause I have to 
It’s just easier 
Or that’s what I thought 

And if we had a choice could we have what it takes 
To turn east and just follow the sun? 
And the question is not whether running’s the answer 
‘cause you know that it’s usually wrong 

Now autumn’s begun 
In my head I hum along 
I can’t quite remember the tune 

One day I’ll return but not for a long time 
Finding myself 
It’s all for the best, that’s what they tell me 
And maybe they’re right 
That’s what I hope 

And if we had a choice could we have what it takes 
To turn east and just follow the sun? 
And the question is not whether running’s the answer 
‘cause you know that it’s usually wrong 
Yeah 

And if we had a choice could we have what it takes 
To turn east and just follow the sun? 
And the question is not whether running’s the answer 
‘cause you know that it’s usually wrong 

Finding the strength to keep holding out hope 
Really doesn’t just make me naïve 
I’ll be fanning the flame as it keeps right on guttering 
Facing the onrushing sea 
Yeah

Flicker

Steeped in light there’s a satellite 
Growing faint across the northern sky 
Lying on my back for another hour or two 
Wasting my days trying to get away from you 

Monster’s creeping from the night 
The black horizon’s got an appetite 
Without a sun and its sanity 
It comes around again, and it’s on its knees 

But they’ve shaken my faith in everything, everything 
Turned my last words to lies, left my love songs to die 
So this is what it feels like to be running on fumes 

Hope I can get back what they’ve stolen 
Hope that it’s ok in a moment 
Hope some day that I’ll be all right 
Hope it won’t matter that I’ve given up tonight 

But they’ve shaken my faith in everything, everything 
Turned my last words to lies, left my love songs to die 
So this is what it feels like to be running on fumes 

Hope I can get back what they’ve stolen 
Hope that it’s ok in a moment

However

Everybody’s talking all the god damn time 
I used to hate it now it’s like a lullaby 
I even babble to myself to help me sleep at night 
If I start to think too hard it begins to overwhelm 
Like losing strength and sinking underneath the swell 
And all too soon I can’t remember when or where or how I fell 

Oh but there I go 
Talking about what I couldn't possibly know 
Find me some way out 

If it’s just a case of running down a lonely path 
Escaping all your demons and the aftermath 
Then stamina and perseverance are all that you’d ask 
But if again and again and again all they want is to torment you 
And if it’s not worth the fight and it’s dark as the night then what do you do? 
Because remember under the sun it has all been done and somewhere they are human too 

Oh but there I go 
Talking about what I couldn't possibly know 
Find me some way out

Way Out

Promises, promises 

Some years we grow 
Some we fade 
Keeping in step 
With the promises we made 
Don’t make a false move 
Don’t blink twice 
Your indecision 
Another roll of the dice 

And I can’t be anyone else 
And I can’t be anyone else 
For now

What We Might Be

Morning

They’re saying we need to leave 
Like they said we might so long ago 
Remember walking through this door 
Remember wanting nothing more 
Hold me close and then … 

Just let it snow 
Let it snow 
Just let it snow 
My love 
For there’s nowhere else that we could ever know 
My love 

Looking out upon our hill 
Looking at the life we built 
Where everything is beautiful 
My darling you’re so beautiful 
Just one more kiss goodnight 

Then let it snow 
Let it snow 
Just let it snow 
My love 
For there’s nowhere else that we could ever know 
My love 

They’ll never understand 
There’s nothing more than this to us 
This hill 
This home 
This love 

I think I hear the future and 
I think it’s time to take my hand 
Forever in your arms 

Just let it snow 
Let it snow 
Just let it snow 
My love 
For there’s nowhere else that we could ever know 
My love 
My home
