Lyrics:

Time's a thief
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
but it was me that couldn't escape gravity

love depletes
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
or spins
recedes
but I'll keep drifting to your shore
that's how your voice reminds me
it's all about the energy
and not so much about the way it flows

that comes as some relief
cos' lately I've stopped questioning
I've found the pen again
and I only want to write my name
I'm feeling young again
a leaf upon a dancing breeze
was it a change in direction?
a dog bark in Japan?
a miscreant correction of the orbits around Saturn?
if I've nothing left that I am here to prove
I only want to prove it's you

Yesterday
I forgot about my body
weightless
shifting
bringing all the angels out of hiding
I mistook a halo for the sunlight in your eye
and I was waiting for your love

that comes as some relief
cos' lately I've stopped questioning
I've found the pen again
and I only want to write my name
I'm feeling young again
a leaf upon a dancing breeze
was it a change in direction?
a dog bark in Japan?
a miscreant correction of the orbits around Saturn?
if I've nothing left that I am here to prove
I only want to prove it's you

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
