Keep me here, my heart is near, my love has gone away. 
Tell me true, my heart is new, my love has gone away. 
It's ok i know someday i'm gonna be with you. 
It's ok i know someday i'm gonna be with you. 

Speak to me, my heart is free, my love has gone away. 
Tell me true, my heart is blue, my love has gone away. 
It's ok I know someday i'm gonna be with you. 
It's ok i know someday i'm gonna be with you.

LYRICS: 
You're big on questions and you're small of eyes 
You're left of reason and you're right on time 
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you. 
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you. 

You're big on questions and you're kind of eyes 
You're left on wisdom and you're right on line
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you

I don't know how, i don't how to get to rest of you
I don't know how, i don't how to get to rest of you 

You're big on questions and you're kind of eyes 
You're left on wisdom and you're right on line
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you

You're big on questions and you're small of eyes 
You're left of reason and you're right on time 
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you
But I don't know, I don't know to get to rest of you

Big on Questions

There’s a tree, and it’s been there as long as I remember.
When I’m gone that tree’ll still be standing in its place.
And there’s a river, deep and wide, winding through the timber.
It may slowly change direction, but it moves on.

There’s a mountain, tall and grand. Nothing’s gonna move it.
Rains may come and winds may blow; that mountain’s still right there.
And there’s the sun and moon and stars, see the light shine through it.
Maybe you can’t always see it, but they’re still there.

There’s a silence in the night. There’s no need to fear it.
Silence just means all is well, the world is safe ‘round you.
If that silence breaks, you know, listen when you hear it.
It might be the wind – it’s saying, “I love you.”

I can be a tree for you, I can be your mountain.
I can be a river, the sun, moon and stars.
I can be these things, and more, when those sheep you’re counting.
Just remember, when you wake, I’ll still be here.

Lullaby

feels like I'm in a dream
lost in ecstasy
got everything I need
I'm feeling good indeed

come on get close to me
baby be my fantasy
we're gonna party like it's 1979

and you can tell your friends
how good times never end
when we party like it's 1979

you're headed for the door
I wish that you would stay
hate to see you go
love to watch you walk away

LYRICS: 
Pictures of a face
Descriptions of the day
I don’t know what to say about that

Pictures
Pictures of a face
Descriptions the day
He walked away
It was raining
And this pain in your heart never went
You never said
It would feel this way and I want you to stay
That’s not what I meant to say
But I mean it
I mean it
Yeah right
There’s your honesty
Honestly, I’m feeling fine
Intelligent design
Line of eye-shadow tears and more wine
I don’t mind if I do
Do you like my new shoes
Mums, dads and home truths

Like: what are we going to do about you
You used to be such a happy child
You dialled the number
Didn’t speak
How do new lovers meet
Incredible feats
Of bravery
Wavering baby steps favouring
Wild mood swings
We were never not quite on the brink
Not trying to not think
Of missed connections
Missing links
Rose tints
It’s just one of those things

 
Imagining you
It’s just one of those things we do

Things things
So many things
So much to say
Lonely strings
Catch the bouquet
Hey hey
Here’s your soulmate
Spinning plates
One topples
It’s too late
It breaks
Industrial estates
And a canvas of cannibals of our entwined fates
So let’s find a place
To be complete
Find names we repeat
Find signs in the names of her street
And when you sleep
It’s still there
Always there
In a necklace of amber
Take care
Of your paint and your brushes
You know the way she is
The way she pushes
A greater weight than a lifetime of crushes
Playing back the day’s rushes
Here’s the scene where you see him
And you don’t know what to say
And I don’t know what you say about that

Pictures of a face
I don’t know what to say about that
Descriptions of the day
He walked away

 

I suppose
Some boys
Spend their whole life joking
Reading lines like karaoke
And opening wounds
Tombs
Visiting unspoken rooms
In the Crowlands
No romance
No shall we dance
Circumstance
Limping men with beers cans
Fortunes old hands
Reading lines of love, life, good times and pretty bad plans
Plots and parades
Every day
Every night
The end was always in sight
And when it ends
It never ends
It descends
Into the centre of the earth
Wish this curse
Could be lifted
Sometimes the world makes me feel like I never existed
And I existed
When she was laughing

 

Pictures of a face
I don’t know what to say about that
Fortunes old hands
Overrunning the land with you
When you were laughing
When she was laughing

LYRICS: 
are you thinking
is she close
do you struggle with umbrellas
are you leaving
are you home
have you timed this badly
have we met before

are you staying
did you fall
can you count to ten in German
can you whisper
can you lie
did you design your own website
have we met before

are you sleeping
are you wise
what can you see from your window
are you hungry
are you calm
are you on a great adventure
have we met before

are you reading
did you choose
can you see into the future
are you listening
are you scared
will you know it when you see it
have we met before

LYRICS: 
Look at every single eye 
They will all give you a clue. 

You are longer than the road and 
You will be home so soon 

Can you see the colours change? 
Are they blurring into shapes? 

One of you had a thought - 
Its time to make the great escape. 

Theres no sign of cars 
You're in the bicycle lane.
