ALREADY


GONE

Well there’s a girl
Who’s been digging her grave
She could melt the sun
Make a river run

She will do it alone 
Fight it on her own
Close and lock the doors
On the years before

She can see it from afar
Like a guiding star
A world away from where they are

There’s a place inside
All the pain she hides
Where she dances the addictive beat
Of another lie

Never thought it strange
Until her world had changed
As the colours faded grey
And nothing remained

There’s no way out
Their motives are unclear
She could easy disappear

And already gone
It’s what they’d have you believing
She could prove them wrong
Show them all along
It wasn’t her they were seeing
Playing games and deceiving
She’s already gone

She can see them from afar
Who they really are
And now you found you’ve come so far
Come so far

And already gone
It’s what they’d have you believing
She could prove them wrong
Show them all along
It wasn’t her they were seeing
Playing games and deceiving

She’s already gone

 
 

SWIM

You’re taking you’re time
To see things my way
Temptation has led you closer
To me

There are things 
You don’t want me knowing
This is how I gather secrets
You never thought I knew

You follow your star
You land on your feet
You live in your own space angel
Wouldn’t you agree?

Your conscience aside
Could you be tempted
To dive into my ocean?
Swim along with me

Swim

You follow your star
You land on your feet
You live in your own space angel
Wouldn’t you agree?

Your conscience aside
Could you be tempted
To dive into my ocean?
Swim along with me
Along with me

Swim

 
 

NO


EXPECTATIONS

What do you think would be better
This time?
Just put it down in a letter
If you’re tired and you can’t think

Sentence stalls, attention falls
Like a light on you
The heart it beats so hard 
It threatens to break through

Wasn’t this expected?

Sometimes it’s hard to forget it
Just forget it
It’ll get you down if you let it
And leave you all at sea

Within a beat the blood turns cold
And red runs blue
Consensus reached as guilty
Waves wash over you
Maybe that was then 
But this is now
There’s no point fighting
And if you need a reason to forget
I won’t give it
I won’t give it to you

To you
To you

Wasn’t this expected?
Wasn’t this the way

I see through your madness
I see through your madness
I see through your madness

Wasn’t it always meant to be?

 
 

STAR
PEOPLE

Oh there you said it
Yeah, like I thought you would
Does it make your heart flutter
Does it make you feel good?

And I don’t get it
You criticise my ways
You forget the bigger picture
You’re the one that got engaged

I don’t accept
That it fucks with your pride
It’s not the situation
You’re seeing from your side

And with respect
I’ve nothing more to say
Except it makes me sad
To see it end this way

There they go
Star People
They disappear overnight

Well another day
Oh perfect you and I
Like to believe in that
Even though it’s not a fact

And yet again
We loved and had fun
But on little things that mattered
We could never see as one

And what I take
From all that’s gone on
Is a sense of relief
God that sounds so wrong

I don’t expect
Your accolades and praise
But I don’t accept your anger
The same

There they go
Star People
They disappear overnight

And on your way
Look out for the Star People
They fade in out of your life

And what is left
But to learn and move on
Put it into song and leave it

But there’ll be times
They’ll catch you looking
Staring at the sun

Star People
They disappear overnight
And on your way
Look out for the Star People
They fade in out of your life

Out of your life

 
 

CHANGES

The sun is up
With a cool breeze in the air
And I’m just sitting here
Taking it in

As I look out over November
There’s an air of expectancy and change
And I think
Will it ever be quite this way again
When change is the one thing
You can’t stop

Changes will stay
Pretty soon this will be even better
Changes will stay
But the past will be there

Hey
Could you go a glass of water?
Maybe some shade
And a bottle of wine

It always seems to work out this way
Just me here with you
Changes will stay
Pretty soon this will be even better

Changes will stay
But the past will be
And here what I say

Changes will stay
Pretty soon this will be even better
Changes will stay
But my heart will be here

 
 

FEEL
MY LOVE

Look at me, what you see?
The white hot tip of a fantasy
The blood in your lips
The sweet, wet scent on your fingertips

And there’s no going back now
You’re right where you wanted to be
In the heat of the flame
To let go, forget your name

Do you feel my love
Hear the angels calling high above
Over and over and over and over

You said you thought
You broke this horse but now you’re caught
In a wave off desire
Lit up by a soul on fire

And there’s no wanting out now
You know you’re about to be freed
And that look in your eyes
I’m right where you want me to be

Do you feel my love
Hear the angels calling high above
Over and over and over and over

Stop, don’t stop, love is one on one
Stop don’t stop til the deal is done
Stop don’t stop, I’m more than ready
Stop don’t stop, you’re gonna make me

Stop, don’t stop, love is one on one
Stop don’t stop til the deal is done
Stop don’t stop, I’m more than ready
Stop don’t stop, you’re gonna make me

Do you feel our love
Do you feel our love

Over and over and over and over

 
 

THE LIGHT
OF ORION

I know just what you want
And I want it too
There’s no need for answers
When I’m holding you

Which way will this wind blow?
Together not part
Sometimes it all just looks so hard
Then your precious heart
Beating strong
Starts calling me forward
Singing its song of love
To me

And our eyes are aglow
With the Light of Orion
That’s how we know
There’s so much more here
Than we can see
Burning within you and me

And this heart beating strong
Keeps calling me forward
Cheering me on to you
Your side
All of it now
I’ve got nothing left to hide from love
Bare is the soul
There’s just one thing left to say
Here now
I’m gonna stay near now
I vote to play this out

With you

 
 

IMPOSSIBLE DREAMERS

Look, across the road
Impossible dreamers
They don’t come out ’til summertime

When the restless soul
Takes flight on the promise
Of sea and sand and marigolds

With sunlight upon us
The taste of the cool air

Slow we change and grow
Impossible dreamers
That we come to know 

With sunlight upon us
The taste of the cool air
And time can not stop us
We have the whole world to share

Slow we change and grow
Slow we change and grow
Impossible dreamers
That we come to know

 
 

EVERMORE

Have you fallen asleep?
Are you listening to me?
Laid here a thousand (some)times
You’re a hard one to read

No different to me
When trying to
See the sense
Of loving ever more

Do you see?

Where do we go?
What will we find?
The blazing light of angels?
I really don’t mind

So long as you’re near
Between you and me
The light of love
The language of the free

This is
What life can be

I’m dreaming of you
Arms around me
Here where there’s no horizons
Nothing we can’t be

You open your heart
Whisper to me

Do you see the sense
In loving ever more?

Oh, my love
I see

You lying awake
Listening to me

 
 

LAY


DOWN YOUR WEAPONS

Lay down your weapons, it’s only me
Beyond reflection, the truth you seek
I’m not the wind, you’re not the sea
Lay down your weapons, dance with me

And we’ve been this way before
It’s not worth fighting for

Beyond familiar, here and now
The lucid soul, spans somehow
Vast dimensions, deeper than the midnight sky

From the corner of our eyes we see
The opening of a door
The charity of more
Just love for what went before

I’m down on my knees in awe
Down on my knees
Down on my knees
Down on my knees for more

Lay down your weapons

It’s only me

 
 

UNDERNEATH
THE
MOONLIGHT

Midnight burning bonfire light
Lazy guitars fill the night
Did I see you and was I right
To chase your shadow into the night?

Late, down by the sea, the place to be
We were dancing underneath the moonlight
Take me to the days of teenage dreams
We were dancing underneath the moonlight

And now those days are hidden by the years
To lose that magic that I couldn’t bear
So I make mat way down the Brown’s Bay pier
Remember the times that I held you near

Oh no,
I could walk on the water with you
With you
With you

Late, down by the see, the place to be
We were dancing underneath the moonlight
Take me to the days of teenage dreams
We were dancing underneath the moonlight

Close beneath the sky, stood you and I
We were dancing underneath the moonlight
Late down by the sea, the place to
Underneath the moonlight
Underneath the moonlight

Late, down by the sea, the place to be
Take me to the days of teenage
Dreams, dreams, dreams

Close beneath the sky, stood you and I
We were dancing underneath the moonlight
Late, down by the sea, the place to
Underneath the moonlight
Underneath the moonlight
Underneath the cool moonlight

Underneath the cool moonlight

Late, down by the sea, the place to be
Take me to the days of teenage dreams

 
 

SOUL
SOLUTION

Wish away the worried mind
Step outside the shadow
Walk by the land of wonder
Swim into the shallows

I never wanted you to be
Be my soul solution
I never promised you’d be satisfied

And I never wanted you to
Be my soul solution
I only dreamed about the other side

Well outside the light is fading
Within the colours mellow
You see there is some other place
Where dreamers drown their sorrows

Drown their sorrows

I never wanted you to be
Be my soul solution
I never promised you’d be satisfied

And I never wanted you to
Be my soul solution
I only dreamed about the other side

 
 

TWO

To live, to learn
To face or to turn
To know, to guess
To lay my golden crown
Upon your chest
To kiss, not to run
Away to somewhere safe
Beyond the setting sun
To stay, to be strong
These insecurities
They won’t last

Oh you must think I’m crazy
You know that I’m not crazy

To do, to not be afraid
To accepting all the changes
You’ve already made
To laugh, or to cry
Together or alone
To give up or to try, to try

To try, I yearn
To have you understand me
To be there as I learn
To trust, to love
To take you as my angel

Oh you must think I’m crazy
You know that I’m not crazy

Oh you must think I’m crazy
You know that I’m not crazy

Crazy, crazy, crazy

 
 

ANYTIME

So you already know
A lot of it
You life like a king then make a scene
Make a scene

Now that you’re through
It’s down to you
Anytime now

You’ll send out the tears
Head for the stairs
Break out the bad ideas
And I won’t fight it

And the sky could fall
Anytime
And the sky ….

Don’t you know 
You can’t stand there
Say there’s none out there
I was always near

Anytime
And I mean it
A lot will never feel it
But I’m here for you

And it’s clear
I can stand it
It’s not quite how we planned it
You draw me in
Every time

It’s for real
You can’t beat it
The simple fact is we need it
And it’s there for us

Anytime

Yeah it’s there
For us

 
 

CHEMISTRY
OF ANGELS

Well I can see you walking
If I could hear you talking
If I could tune into your mind

Would I be captivated?
Charmed, liberated?
Would I connect with every line

Or would your words delivered
Leave me cold and dry?
Stare right through me blind
No matter how I try

And if you were to meet me
Tell me, how would you greet me?
Would you be clever or refined?

Would you consider what I have to say?
Or turn and look the other way
Say my god is that the time

Or would you see a man
Could warm you to you soul?
Take you places that
You never thought you’d go

Oh no, see how I stand here

Please stop kidding yourself
What has she got
Nobody else that you’ve seen’s got?
The chemistry of angels

You could pick up the phone
Maybe we should be alone together

And I can hear you laughing
Deep into the night
Take you to the edge
Then hold onto you tight
I’m losing perspective 
I can’t even tell you why
I’m closing in on you
Don’t wait for me

Please stop kidding yourself
What has she got
Nobody else that you’ve seen’s got?
The chemistry of angels

Please stop fooling around
What has she got?
The chemistry of angels

Of angels

 
 

THIS

.

This is the sound of rolling seas
It is the sound of rain and thunder
This is the sound of a cool summer breeze
Believe it, Oh I
It is the sound of you and me

And this is the landing of the people from the sky
It is the start of something endless
And this is the carving of your pride
Believe it, oh I
It is the song of the seeing eye

Ohhh

And if ever there once was a time to listen
If ever there once was a time to give
If never’s the time to knock down all the walls
We’ve been such falls 
If ever there once was a time to live

If never’s the time to knock down all the walls
If ever there once was a time to live
If ever there once was a time to live
If ever there once was a time to give

 
 

FIRST


LOVE
STORIES

Do you remember?
I sure recall
Written in words on the wall
We sailed to the sea

Wouldn’t come easy
Who could pretend
That the time wouldn’t come
When we’d come to and end

Ain’t that the way that first love stories go?
I don’t know

Come on baby now
Don’t you frown
I can see your eyes
The sun’s going down
Don’t believe their words
I’m always around
Maybe we’ll find tomorrow

It ain’t beginning
But not isn’t the end
We could fight for our future 
The past it would win
Call it what you want but
Don’t you ever give in
‘Cause I’ll be watching you

So say, I this where we leave it?
Today, forget all the signs
We may, we may never achieve it
But oh to believe that we will
Somehow find our way
For today

Come on baby now
Don’t you frown
I can see your eyes
The sun’s going down
Don’t believe their words
I’m always around
Maybe we’ll find tomorrow

It ain’t beginning
But not isn’t the end
We could fight for our future 
The past it would win
Call it what you want but
Don’t you ever give in
‘Cause I’ll be watching you
