Sing To Me
However far you are...
When the storm breaks
you are
the stillness at its core
and I will
find my way to you
however far you are
sing to me my darling
your voice it calls me home
When nothing makes sense
and there is
chaos all around
I will
listen for your voice
inside
the madness of this crowd
sing to me my darling
your voice it calls me home
you know it's love
when it changes you
When the night falls
and there are
no stars in the sky
I will
lay down by your side
and hold you
till the daylight
sing to me my darling
your voice it calls me home
you know it's love
when it changes you

At The Very Centre
At the very centre of this room
where the sun waits for us
every morning
every morning
And now in the afternoon
in a patch of sunlight
on the floorboards
on the floorboards
At the very centre of this room
is you
Where the apple blossoms fall
like torn paper
in the long grass
in the long grass
Lie down with me
and we'll watch the clouds
in a blue sky
in a blue sky
Where the apple blossoms fall
is you
There will be sunshine and rain
there will be joy there'll be pain
Just as the night follows day
At the very centre will be you
At the very centre of these days
that are overflowing
hear the children laughing
hear the children laughing
When the day is done
through our window
the moon will find us
the moon will find us
At the very centre of this room
is you
Watch the leaves fall down
without a sound
as the days go on and on
See the clouds drift by
in the bluest sky
as the days go on and on
See the sun go down
and the stars come out
as the days go on and on
Watch the moon rise high
lighting up the sky
as the days go on and on

Save Us

Save Us
An avenue of trees
my decision to leave
the weight I carry
out the door
and there are reasons to stay
I count them like loose change
so easy to give away, again
I take life as I find it
I saw the light got blinded
waiting for the time to be right
but you just let me down
I heard it all round the town
why d'you come around
why d'you come around?
Save our souls
save us from ourselves

Chalk Circle
I turn to see you at the top of the stairs swaying
you've got your eyes on the ground
like it's all that keeps you from falling
the door is open wide
you've got no reason to go inside
I've got the kids in the car
their bags packed for the weekend
and they don't understand but they feel it
I take your kids from you
when I take my kids with me
and we break our promises
I'm going to swim in the ocean and cut my hair
Drive out of this city and clear my head
I'm wearing a shirt I borrowed from a friend
Makes me feel like someone else like I could be
Somebody else
I turn to see you at the top of the stairs swaying
and the pain in your eyes
it's the same pain I'm feeling
the door is open wide
I think you want me to come inside
and we break our promises
some things you've got to break
to make them new

I Want You Here With Me
I want you here with
I want you here with
Like the river wants the sea
I want you here with
Don't you turn away
Don't you turn away
The road will rise again
Don't you turn away
It's your heart that knows
a kindred soul
the way back home
Your heart it won't be told
Your heart it won't be told
However young
However old
Your heart it won't be told
It's your heart that knows
a kindred soul
the way back home
When are you coming home?

Pandora
I'm sure you know my name
at least you've heard my story
some call me the mother of trouble
I'm not the mother of anybody
So tell me
what would you do
if you were to walk in my shoes?
He gives you a gift
tells you not to open it
hands you a box
tells you to keep a lid on it
I'll take my share of the blame
ask him to do the same
I'm gonna fill your eyes with visions
not forgotten once they're free
my name is Pandora
don't you blame your sins on me
It was a box of darkness
complete with stars
I swear I held the universe
felt it slipping through my hands
He knew my curiosity
was stronger than duty
he needed me to open it
so he could wash his hands of it
I saw through his game
I opened it just the same
I'm sure you know my name
at least you've heard my story
some call me the mother of trouble
I'm not the mother of anybody
My name means bringer of gifts
ask my dad what he meant by it
I'm gonna fill your eyes with darkness
till the beauty shines like stars
bright enough to break my father's heart
bright enough to break my father's heart

With Your Eyes Closed
You know her heartbeat and the rhythm of her breath
You know the song in her voice and how the laughter shakes her
You know her with your eyes closed
You know the sound of her bare feet on the floor
You know the coffee on the stove, the key turn in the door
You know this place with your eyes closed
Listen for the whale song of the train wheels on the tracks
The cockies in the tree the purring of the cat
There are so many people who are dying to meet you
Welcome back to Dorisville, welcome back home
From all of us at Dorisville, we can't wait to have you home
This world will fill your heart up
This world will blow your mind
And anytime you need someone
We won't be hard to find
We'll see you back at Dorisville
We'll see you back home
Whenever you're at Dorisville
You won't ever be alone
You'll never be alone

Shine
I hate to see you this way I hate to see you down
If I could I'd give you eyes to see the joy that's all around
Your love she wants no more than to see you smile
lift the darkness from your eyes and let the sunlight shine
Mary-Jane she'll keep your council on any day you choose
In the end you need her more than she needs you
She's the poison and the cure the shelter and the storm
Won't you come inside today and let us keep you warm
We all need someone to share the road
We all need someone to help us with the load
to help us with the load

Friday Night Smile
I'll mix the margaritas and you cut up the lime
I'll take your hairpins out and to let your hair hang down
I'll turn the music up just to watch you spin around
As you catch me in the spell of your Friday night smile
I've been waiting since the morning to see you with your Friday night smile
You wear your sky blue dress and we'll head into town
Sit out on the balcony and watch the stars come out
I fell the weight of the day start to melt away
As you catch me in the spell of your Friday night smile
I've been waiting since the morning to see you with your Friday night smile
You look like a child when you smile your Friday night smile
I'll mix the margaritas and you cut up the lime
I'll take your hairpins out and to let your hair hang down
I'll turn the music up just to watch you spin around
As you catch me in the spell of your Friday night smile
Your eyes they shine like sunlight on the waves
You look like a child when you smile your Friday night smile

How Do You Say Goodbye?

How Do You Say Goodbye?
She was holding his hand on the night he died
At his side as she'd been for 60 years as his wife
And she kissed his eyes and rained her tears down on his face
As she held him tight in a last embrace
How do you say goodbye to the one you gave your life?
He was light as a bird moving slower by the day
It was as if he'd sent what he needed up ahead
When the news came through that his grandson had been born
With ten fingers and ten toes he was ready to go
How do you say goodbye to the one you gave your life?
He took the bride he married, before the war broke out
She put up anti-Nazi posters in Berlin
He took the girl who would never
return to her home
once she'd heard about the bombing
She stayed strong for him
She carried on for him
She kissed his eyes and
rained her tears down on his face
How do you say goodbye,
when what you want
with all your heart
is to follow?

Down The River
Hold me
Hold me like a child
I am so tired of walking these streets alone
Won't you hold me for a while
Carry me
On your shoulders carry me high
Gravity is my sworn enemy
Won't you carry me for a while
Next time you see my lover
With her eyes underground
Tell her I chased the stars down the river...
Tell her this time I was floating with angels
Tell her this time I was light as the air
Tell her this time I was drunk on the stars
singing her name
Swallow me
Swallow me like a stone
I was burning when I fell to earth
won't you release me, release me
release me
Tell her this time I was floating with angels
Tell her this time I was light as the air
Tell her this time I was drunk on the stars
singing her name all the way to the sea...
