Awaken The Swan
02:56
|
|||
|
A glance in the mirror
Hidden from view
Quietly moving, quietly moving
You keep the likeness
Leave a different smile
Awaken the swan, awaken the swan
Awaken the swan, awaken the swan
Only tender words
Someone who hears the rhythm
Driftwood scattered, driftwood scattered
He moves through the days
After years of scraping by
What is your hunger?
What is your hunger?
She moves through the days
After years of scraping by
What is your hunger?
What is your hunger?

A Different Time
04:37
|
|||
|
The morning dew disappears
Traffic moves slowly onwards
Slowly onwards
Do I just add confusion?
Or make it easier to move on
To move on
I walk on the shore
Catching the breeze
Collecting pebbles
Wishing you were near
How to stop the longing
Veiled in failing moments
Failing moments
In need of another sunrise
As I gently let go
Gently let go
Will you ever find me?
See me in a different time
A different time
Drifting through this season
Maybe you will come over soon
Come over soon

Again And Again
03:27
|
|||
|
Talking to myself
Reciting every line
Again and again
Again and again
Are you running too fast?
Compelled by this love
Words you long to hear
Words you long to hear
The chaotic days
Still lovely and mellow
Bring joy and heartache
Bring joy and heartache
A secret never told
This week, next week
It will still be there
It will still be there
I may never know
Why you touch my soul
Again and again
Again and again

Broken Reasons
02:56
|
|||
|
How can I ever stop this love for you
And will I always still remember you
The years slip away but the music stays
And the unspoken doubts slowly fade
Wanting to impress with this other life
Pulling away from new acquaintances
Perhaps we would ever need the same
A different loneliness together
Expecting to share a life un-chosen
Not letting go but letting go
Broken reasons to rescue him
Love waiting where it had begun

Liberty
02:32
|
|||
|
Liberty fell down in the river today
A tear in her eye, mud on her face
The light was lost
She clung to a rock in disbelief
Above the river on a passing train
Just another journey into town
Weary travellers, some happy, some sad
Some read the headline news
The winter sun warms their faces
A lovely day for dreaming in an angry world
Silent voices
Friends making plans, all unaware
That Liberty fell down in the river today
A tear in her eye, mud on her face
The light was lost
She clung to a rock in disbelief

Walking On Stones
03:02
|
|||
|
Let go a fear, let go a tear
In the stillness falling between
Not knowing what to feel
He hesitates
Walking on stones, walking on stones
Walking on stones
Sharing stories, sharing disappointment and hope
We could keep on talking, we could keep on talking
Time to go, (time to go)
Skip a beat, skip a dream
Leave the past, catch the future
Play it safe, play the fool
He hesitates
Walking on stones, walking on stones

Riding Anger
03:13
|
|||
|
He was riding anger like a moth caught by the light
Forgetting the sunrise, lost in a storm
The chattering voices spread the poison around
Without much thought or reason
He wanted to listen to the wind and the rain
To feel his enemies compassion
A silent journey to a different place
Away from failure caused by their beliefs
Through his window the traffic sounded like the wind
No text no phone calls, no reason to go
Too much to do a sharing of time
Passing these selfish days

The Changing Wind
03:30
|
|||
|
A wild autumn wind
Sweeps away the summer
A growing friendship
Falling with the leaves
Daydreams endure
And embrace the year past
Yearning for your smile
That warms and heals
Unsettled by feelings
Afraid of what might go wrong
Time and the changing wind
Will hush the pain

Station Of Desire
03:13
|
|||
|
Time jumped back and took me by surprise
Your shadow enclosed me in the thin evening light
And I could feel our memories on every street
Back to a place sweetly incomplete
The American café is no more
Our innocent suppers of coffee and corn
Lost to a wine bar brasserie
Where far-away couples echo you and me
It was just a time before our fall
Then a different rhythm changed it all
The last train home from this station of desire
I couldn’t face a meal alone tonight
Steak and salad and burgundy wine
Passing moments laid on the line
It was just the time before our fall
Now it’s a different rhythm that I recall

The Magpie's Song
03:32
|
|||
|
A Saturday in June, another crowd
Just want to leave
A quiet place with a good book
Is all I need
Don’t want to go anywhere
I’m lost now
Switching off I need to sing
Can’t remember the words
I only know
La la la
La la la
La la la
I listen to the magpie's song
An empty disguise
The falling lyrics out of time
Too many stories
