Whilst we're speaking honestly
I should tell you truthfully
I could never imagine your heart in my hand

Likely got swept up in the things
We did when we explored tentatively
The feel of each other's hands

Before mind games
Asking myself just to behave
Hoping i'm not acting all strange
Visibly hiding the words circulating round my brain

I'm a clever ghost
I'm a clever ghost
No one knows where my mind goes
No one knows

Recently lapping the same shore repeatedly
Just like before I can feel the breeze
But it's not moving me

Lay her down
Another trip round a dusty town
Intimate amongst the crowd
People smiling awkwardly

Your hair is thinner now
Drop the bottle it puts you down
Crazy to think she'd still be down
Given how long it's been now

I'm a clever ghost
I'm a clever ghost
No one knows where my mind goes
No one knows

In your perfect run
Did you always think there'd just be one
Eternally revealing Sun
Ocean still and horizon

No that cant be right
Come on babe I can't sleep at night
Where there's a shadow there must be a light
Where there's a shadow there must be a light

I'm a clever ghost
I'm a clever ghost
No one knows where my mind goes
No one knows

Papa

Clever Ghost

Found my rhythm in the stones that I break beneath the rocks
Turned my voice down the phone to these 5am thoughts
If I took melody for granted it's only that she stayed
Some you write to leave but some don't let you get away

Had some bones when I was young
Couldn't press 'em for a sigh
Fit that orphan in my palm
Fed it milk until she died
If there's a whisper in the hall that has turned upon your ear

It's not the past revealing the line before you
Let the memories push the World before you
Sure there are stains and drums and some distant gong
You tell a mean story but don't we all just sing along
A stone that you've bled
Some ghost in your bed
But you're not half way broken

Blank inside, designed and printed in the UK
If I took melody for granted it's only that you stayed
Blank inside, designed and printed in the UK

Had some bones when I was young
Couldn't press 'em for a sigh
Fit that orphan in my palm
Fed it milk until she died
If there's a whisper in the hall that has turned upon your ear

It's not the past revealing the lines before you
Let the memories push the World before you
Sure there are stains and drums and some distant gong
You tell a mean story but don't we all just sing along
A stone that you've bled
Some ghost in your bed
But you're not half way broken
You're not half way broken

In every ebb
And every flow
River in me 
Wherever it goes 

In every tree 
On every tow
Spirit in me 
Wherever I go

Tide comes in and goes away
Breaks the river gate 
Blinds the sun 

Silent, subtle 
River Wey
You make
Me afraid 
Of what’s to come 

On every path 
In every fern
River in me
Wherever it turns 

In every flock 
Down every road
Spirit in me 
Whenever I fall

River Wey

Verse 1

Knowing 
That you’re broken , you’re just 
Coping
Everyday is just a
Prison, that
Keeps you In your mind

Verse 2

And I’ll be hoping 
That you’ll stay here when 
When I’m older
Tired of weight upon my 
Shoulders, I
Won’t be left behind 

Chorus 

You float like a feather 
You speak with no sound 

But it makes me feel better 
Each time
You’re around 

You change with the weather 
You weep and you drown 

But it makes me feel better 
Each time 
You’re around 

Verse 2

Faking 
I remember all your 
Phases 
Hide the hurt with different 
Faces 
Make them think you’re fine 
Patience 
I’ve been hoping you won’t cave in
Inner demons 
You can’t shake them
Won’t leave it all behind
