Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Winter has fallen,
The leaves contain my heart.
Freedom is calling,
Frost is all around.

I gave my soul to summer,
Left it on the breeze.
Now leave me here in slumber
To freeze.

So let's sleep now till the summertime,
Turn the lights down all the way.
And I'll sleep now, suffocate my mind
Until the dark times go away.

And I'll freak out before the sun gets high,
Until the night takes him away,
And I'm free now.
Yeah, I'm free now

And I'm so tired,
And I'm so tired,
But I'll pray to keep alive.
And I'm so tired,
But I'll pray to keep alive.
And I'm so tired,
But I'll pray to keep alive.
And I'm so tired,
And I'm so tired.

And it's so cold in here without you now.
It's so cold, and you never let me out.
But I'll be cold,
And I'll be here.
'Cause I'm so tired,
Yeah, I'm so tired.

Winter has fallen,
The leaves contained my heart.
Freedom is calling,
Won't stop calling me.

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Well I've been down to Cairo
Turning wine back into water
Don't you know

Sifting death from the fighter
With my lover's arms around me
And my you've grown

And all the silver skins were empty
And the flower bed was covered
In my bones

So if you want it girl you wish it
On the mountain stars
And you can have it all
If you mean it in the morning
By the evening I will be there
When you call

My eyes are a lantern
And the blackened night's still burning
In the sun

The tangled trees surround me
While the mynah bird keeps singing
That she's the one

So if you want it girl you wish it
On the mountain stars
And you can have it all
If you mean it in the morning
By the evening I will be there
When you call

Released 11th June on MUK Records.

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Released 6th September 2019
