If I swear there’s nothing left to harvest
will you spare the wind from my leaves?
If I tell you I’ve been trying my hardest
trying not to fall to my knees
will you go easy on me?
do you know what I mean?

Oh, Moon
you make a fool out of me
oh, Moon
everytime you shine your light on me

I feel your pull in my waters
I’ve seen your hand in the sea
pregnant as the sky giving birth to a mirror
and running like that river to the sea

Remember I’m just a ghost in a shell
that they’re trying to pass back down to hell

Oh, Moon
you make a fool out of me
oh, Moon
everytime you shine your light on me

Oh, Moon
you make a fool out of me
oh, Moon
everytime you shine your light on me

Lyrics:

I feel like I died three years ago
it's so hard to offer hope
when you feel like you're alone

If everything's a feeling I could offer mine
but why?
when I can't face the sight

I know I could fall in love again
see the world with fresh eyes
but sooner or later I'd start again
seeing to the other side

Even devotion knows
it's hard to play the chords
give any thief an apple he'll just get worse
have you ever known love without the fall?
the floor on your knees at a strangers door

Baby, deer roam
swans fly
herons nest
I'll die a little

I'll Die A Little

Guess if we stay 'til it's done
I wont need to lay it down
Oh baby I wont forget it
Your head upon my belly

As all the perils withdraw
That's the beat I'm working from
Ye, uh you're covered in buds
They're making me cry
There's a sting in the air
The girl with the thorn in her side

So now if you're the princess
Who am I to second guess?
Did you know I'd settle for less?
You make a fine thing in your white dress

Now that's as far as we made it
The flowers were killing my eyes
Your knuckles were hiding blood suckers
The planet subsides
We're back on the road
A plentiful night with the girl
The girl with the thorn in her side

The Girl With The Thorn In Her Side

Chicken Killing Blues

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

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

BETTER (voice note)

"Smart, personal, and true, “R.O.B.Y.N” feels like the sort of old fashioned songwriting that you’d stumble across during the folk scene at Greenwich Village, the product of what feels like a bygone era." - We All Want Someone To Shout For bit.ly/WAWSTSF
