Passages

over the trestle and down the tracks a bit on your right
there's a graveyard of farmer families
moss and rain have taken its limestone names
it's a bit of mystery
there may come a time to go away
there's beauty in the ruins here among us
Mr Webb, he was Greatest Generation kind
he was always making time for history
found artifacts from the Indian footpaths
and shared with us what used to be
there may come a time to go away
there's beauty in the ruins here among us
that Red Oak, she was something in her day
she was autumn shade from summer sun
Lost in the storm
yeah we lost her in the storm
from her roots another's sprung
there may come a time to go away
there's beauty in the ruins here among us
There'll be a time when the greenhouses
its land divided into lots
things get forgotten
sometimes we'll be forgotten
and then again, sometimes not
there may come a time to go away
there's beauty in the ruins here among us

in the ruins

Channeling my inner Vangelis. 

I was inspired by images of ships at sea from both "The Bounty" and "Master And Commander".

LYRICS:
I've been so stressed out 
Just can't unwind 
Biting my nails down 
Can't sleep at night 
I've seen the wind 
Blowin' off the mountains 
I fear the changes coming 
All of my plans are dangling 
Tangled up, woven into 
All the choices I've made 
These restless days 

Take me with you 
Wherever you go 
Follow the trail of yellow post-it notes 
Through the deep woods 
Past the river beds 
Breathing in and out and in again 

I spent a decade 
Thinking the same way 
Quiet and shy 
I was standing in my own way 
I've seen the flame 
Of a candle burning 
I've seen a new beginning 
The curve of your spine 
Up against mine 
Shadowboxing, gloves untied 
This new me is rushing right in 
Rushing right in 

Take me with you 
Wherever you go 
Follow the trail of yellow post-it notes 
Through the deep woods 
Past the river beds 
Breathing in and out and in again 

When you pack your bags, take me with you 
If you're not coming back, take me with you 
Setting like the sun, take me with you 
If all is said and done, take me with you 

When you pack your bags, take me with you 
If you're not coming back, take me with you 
Setting like the sun, take me with you 
When all is said and done, take me with you

LYRICS:
Hey, why don't you stay here with me
Say it, you can say anything 'cause I'm listening
Afraid to fall too fast and crash again
Well say it, you can say anything 'cause I'm listening

For your voice in the quiet
For your voice in the crowd
For your voice through the static
For your voice, it's everywhere now
It's everywhere now

Call me, if ever you need me
And I'll be dropping everything to hear you out
Take words for what they are, how they make you feel
'cause I'll be dropping everything, just listening

For your voice in the quiet
For your voice in the crowd
For your voice through the static
For your voice, it's everywhere now
For your voice, It's everywhere now
It's everywhere now

For your voice in the quiet
For your voice in the crowd
For your voice through the static
For your voice, it's everywhere now
For your voice, It's everywhere now
For your voice, It's everywhere now, now

Hey, why don't you stay here with me
Say it, you can say anything 'cause I'm listening
