ask anything of me and I will
bring it back to you
take everything from me and i will
still have more to give
all of my searching has been for
this hour and this day
for you

Nowhere but here
04:38
|
|||
|
ankle deep in sand we stand
staring out over the sea
waves they catch me by surprise
and they take my breath away
i've been spending all my days
looking for a way back home
you showed me a way inside
a way to make this time my own
nowhere to go, nowhere to get to
nowhere but here
i am slowed down
i am in time
held to the ground by the water
i am dusted by the sand
kiss me while it shifts beneath our feet
i know i am a part of this place
and this place it's a part of me
we are only passing through
gypsies in somebody's dream
so wrap me up in your arms
we'll watch the lights up on the hill
this place it fills me with wonder
it always did and it always will
nowhere to go, nowhere to get to
nowhere but here

Daylight
03:44

daylight I want to go home
dreamed of a riverbed
walking with my brother
i'm a child again
lost in that wonder
safe in my brother's footsteps
walking up a hillside
there's a house in the trees
there's a party going on
all white walls and mirrors
inside i lost my brother
reach for you at night time
down this river of dreams
i wake in the morning
but my hands they're empty
where i walk
you walk with me
daylight i want to go home

Slave
03:39

i'm coming to you with the morning
i'm coming to you through the day
i'm coming to you over and over
i'm coming to you come what may
she swamps me like a wave
love she wants me for her slave
i'm coming to you open hearted
i'm coming to you turned on
i'm coming to you to be broken
i'm coming to you to be born
she took everything i gave
love she wants me for her slave
space collapses time it stops
i don't know where she ends
and where i start
i'm coming to you loud as thunder
i'm coming to you soft as rain
i'm coming to you on a melody
i'm coming to you again and again and again
she just wants me to behave
love she wants me for her slave
i'm coming to you with the morning
i'm coming to you through the day
i'm coming to you over and over
i'm coming to you come what may
she took everything i gave
love she wants me for her slave
from the cradle to the grave
love she wants me for her slave

Simple
03:11

good to see you
good to see you with that smile
good to hear you
good to hear you laugh out loud
good to know that
you've come through your dark days
good to know that
you've come through your dark days
did you tell her
everything you have to say?
did you leave her
in no doubt about the way you feel?
love is simple
let it rain down on you
love is simple
let it rain down on you
the way she holds you
holds you with her eyes
the way she fills you
fills you with her smile
and when you wake up
and you're only wanting her
she comes to you
good to see you
good to see you'll be alright
good to hear you
making plans with her tonight
good to share this
good to share this road with you
and when you think about
the last day of your life
she's there with you

You

before I opened my eyes
i saw you
bone white skin
your head on my shoulders
your eyes closed

Slow
04:41
|
|||
|
a rainy day nothing to do
but spend the day in bed with you
a rainy day nowhere to go
lie down with me and we'll take it slow
we'll take it slow
Come walk with me now
through these streets
hold my hand
won't you hold onto me
these days been weighing down on me
want to lose these bags i've been carrying
and take it slow
some days i feel like i can't hold on to you
tight enough
we'll take it slow
the lights go down the music starts
there's a man giving voice to his broken heart
i can feel your skin
under your clothes
want to take you home
and take it slow
we'll take it slow...

you feel it drifting coming apart
whatever she says or what you hope for
it's a broken zip what was seamless doesn't fit
and you'll have to live with that
she's in a car stopped at the lights
you're in your red shoes on the corner
she's always been the first to hear your news
it feels like the last time as the lights change
you watch her go
come walk with me
though you're feeling sad and low
walk with me
we don 't need a place to go
come walk with me
trust your feet and trust the road
moon rising over power lines
i fill the tank and we keep on driving
i know you're hurting you've let down
it's enough to night just to
drive out of this town
come walk with me
though you're feeling sad and low
walk with me
we don 't need a place to go
come walk with me
trust your feet and trust the road

Bird
03:42
|

there's a bird inside his angry words
there's a bird inside his pain
there's a bird that makes him run away
and brings him back again
there's a bird inside his clenched fist
that's shaking like a leaf
you bring love
and you bring hope
to set that bird free
there's a bird inside a quiet word
there's a bird inside a prayer
there's a bird inside a second chance
and just being there
there's a bird inside his cage of ribs
that's burning to be released
you bring love
and you bring hope
to set that bird free
there are moments when i hear you laugh
and i know that bird it's free
there's a bird inside that's spreading its wings
waiting for the breeze
i need your love i need your faith
to set that bird free

There's a river
05:04
|
|||
|
i had a dream that my dad died
all day i carried that grief inside
and eve though it wasn't true
my heart couldn't hear what my head knew
in the evening i broke down and cried
inconsolable like a child
my lover held me in her arms
until the feeling passed
there's a river that runs
through my dad and my son
they share the same soft hands and heart
i watch my boy while he sleeps
he's tangled in some dream
for all of his days i see
his life is still a mystery
i cry for the boy who's grown
still searching for a home
and i cry for the day i'll wake
to find that my dad's gone
there's a river that runs
through my dad and my son
they share the same soft hands and heart
there's a river that runs
through me in my dreams
and now i understand
that i'm a man
now i understand
that i'm a man
