Tomorrow is a voice behind the door
It's a circus world that only dreams can form
Tomorrow is a lion left in wait
It's a shadow yet without its shape
And we hide beneath our sheets for far too long

Tomorrow says the sky is new
The tree is closer to its bloom
The fractured arm will start to heal
The shattered heart will start to feel

Did someone come and tug my tail?
I know the day ain't long
Did we confuse the fear of being right with being wrong
While we hide beneath our sheets for far too long?

Tomorrow says the sky is new
The tree is closer to its bloom
The fractured arm will start to heal
The shattered heart will start to feel

We belong to her
And I believe every word she says to me

Tomorrow (is A Voice Behind The Door)

Lyrics:

I keep change in my pocket
Don’t know how to go about it
How to act without a stage
How to grow when you look half your age

Midday in my evening robe
What mystic powers would spin your globe?
Like to send a message to you
Don’t know how I’m gonna get through

What does love feel like on a coco coast?
How does sorrow feel to those who feel it the most?

A dream of love and you’ll pay double the dues, alright
A dream of love and you’ll play double the blues, alright

Only care for who I haven't met
Haven’t quite got the picture yet

lyrics:

For once in my life
I'll go easy on myself
Cross all your fingers and toes
And turn around

For once my life
I'll rest easy inside myself
Remember when mother
Would sing us both to sleep?

For the crooked backbite
For the vampire's lair
And the tail of the kite
That got caught in your hair
And bid you to fly away

For once in my life
I'll go easy on myself
Life is a rock
But Sisyphus lied

For once in my life
I'll rest easy in myself
Remember our brother
Would make us laugh till we cried?

For the trick of the light
And our thoughts to compare
And the tail of the kite
That got caught in your hair
And bid you to fly away

For the crooked backbite 
For the vampire's lair
And the tail of the kite
That got caught in your hair
And bid you to fly away

Tail Of The Kite

Lyrics:

Afternoon, attic room
Skylight lips that spoke too soon
Open up your darkest cloud
And play your music way too loud

Come rain or come what may
Wizard magicked me to stay
I got a new age attitude
And a skylight in my attic room

Oh, the sea, the sea, the sea
Of clothes laid down like palm leaves -
Will someone come and welcome me?

Afternoon, attic room
Somnus sure to sleep too soon
In hollow dwell with folded wing
The gods are surely idling. 

Oh the sea, the sea, the sea
Of clothes laid down like palm leaves
Oh, be free, be free

Would someone come and temper me?
Would someone come and welcome me?
Would someone come and temper me?

Attic Room (live)

Belfast was full for Christmas
All the knights of silver lanes
Come quick and come for shelter
Before tomorrow comes again

Now we're moving, really moving
Let that morning wake thee, daily we
Move until that something sets us free

Drift by the big cathedral
Tell the stones your sorry woes
Untie the evening's favour
Make your way on to the show

Now we're moving, really moving
Let that morning wake you, Cary Baru
Move until that morning shakes you too

Now we're moving, really moving
Let that morning shake you, Cary Baru
Move until that morning shakes you through

Cary Baru

There's something stirring in the atmosphere
And i want to know
Just like the arm that bends from its golden hem
I would be lifted from the undertow

Have you got anything to show?
Has your hunger gone under
Now you're moving like a movie scene?
Bible black or ocean-eyed
We change ourselves with what we've seen.

There's something stirring in the atmosphere
And I oughta know
Just like the arm that bends from its satin hem
I would be lifted from the undertow

All the creatures came to witness
The dying of a star
Red in tooth and two by two
They came and went and there we are

Wonder if they reached their summit
Wonder if they went too far
