The silence is deafening as I break from the noise
Just like a dead reckoning in hearing your voice
No obvious point from a heavenly place
Just retracing signs in time and space

Where'd you go, what'd I do
Is it me or is it you
There's no time like the present for you to come through
Give me distance and direction
And I'll measure the points
Against my distance and transgressions
As I'm finding your voice
In this dead reckoning

The point when you last said something
And the speed at which you left
Leaves me with no reference point
But i'm trying my best
To draw the lines to you
And remember what it's like
To draw my mind to a voice I recognize

Where'd you go, what'd I do
Is it me or is it you
There's no time like the present for you to come through
Give me distance and direction
And I'll measure the points
Against my distance and transgressions
As I'm finding your voice
In this dead reckoning
Dead reckoning

The lines are breaking down
Into shapes that I can't make out
So set the stars to align somehow
Or bury me in this grave of doubt

Where'd you go, what'd I do
Is it me or is it you
There's no time like the present for you to come through
Give me distance and direction
And I'll measure the points
Against my distance and transgressions
As I'm finding your voice
In this dead reckoning
Reckoning
Dead reckoning

Shadows: A-Side

Dead Reckoning

Home With You was written in the aftermath of a turbulent time in my life when the concept of a spiritual "home" collapsed and felt completely foreign. Yet my understanding of the Divine was expanding and I was being drawn in to something new. Like many of my songs, it is about a metaphorical relationship representing my continued wrestling match with the creator.

Shadows: B-Side

Home With You

Hard Way

Doubts and fears are raised in this lush and sometimes haunting waltz, where the piano nods to Erik Satie and Blake's voice is steeped in honesty and vulnerability.  

Enough

A simple, heartfelt wish to the ones you love during times of struggle and heartache, lush strings accompany Blake's simple acoustic guitar arrangement.
