Fade Away 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Fade Away Sometimes I feel like I should fade away Make sure I’m never followed Blow out the candles and just pull the shades On a life less spent than borrowed Just turn around Not make a sound And just fade away Fade away Sometimes I love and I just pull away Guess I’m afraid of bein burnt Sometimes I handle almost anything Sometimes I crumble at a word Just turn around Not make a sound And just fade away Fade away Sometimes I wish that I would walk away Make sure I’m never followed Blow out the candles and just pull the shades On a life less spent than borrowed Just turn around Not make a sound 90 degrees And I will be free to just… Fade away Fade away Fade away Fade away

Open Road 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Open Road Snow falls heavy on the hills Making our way back and the morning's still Wondering if we'll ever be free Trying to remember the dream Which way to the open road? Which way the forsaken go? Wondering what it is you had to say Couldn't explain the rains fell on that day You're wearing that dress again Comes off in the end Which way to the open road? Which way to the great unknown? Which way to the open road? Take on your world, honey don't back down Take all you've known, we'll turn it upside down Take all your fears put them far behind The road ahead will pass in time It's all in your head Everything that had to be said Never looking back again Oh, breathe deep and we're far away Wondering if it's all a dream Looking at the places we've been It's all in your head But it's full of regret Which way to the open road?

Stars Appear 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Stars Appear Waiting, on borrowed time Strung up, out on the line If you could take one minute from the past Make the right decision from the start Long slow fall into a veil of tears Looking up you see the stars appear Counting, up the cost Break even or you’re lost You can never pay for what you've done All your debts are rolling into one Wading down into a veil of tears Looking up you see the stars appear Wading down into a veil of tears Looking up you see the stars appear

Learning 05:32
lyrics
buy track
Learning How to Take it Slow Waking up Another day will soon be racing Nothin Seems like nothing’s everlasting Passing time I've been trying not to waste it on getting you high Changing Seems like everything is changing and it's passing us by Chorus Learning how to take it slow Got a long way to go Learning how to take it slow Patience I gotta learn to have more patience Something Something’s gotta give and i know that the time will come Working It's like we're working hard only to be getting put down Sleeping Seems like the whole wide world is sleeping and we're out on the town Chorus Facing up Feels like forever we've been facing up to everything Fighting I'm so tired and done, but it's time to get back in the ring You and I We've been through it all, but now we've gotta start it for real Living Time keeps hitting hard, but we just got to live what we feel Chorus

Bury My Bones 04:45
lyrics

Bury My Bones Bury my bones In the cold ground Bury my bones In the damp earth Bury my bones Deep Bury my bones Where the angels weep As the blood fell, And breathe froze, I dreamt you close Bury my bones Where my heart lies Bury my bones Where my love cries Bury my bones In the dark soil Bury my bones Let my Gods toil And let me go, let me go Bury my bones Near the deep swell Bury my bones Where the good fell Bury my bones In the dark grass Bury my bones Let my soul pass And let me go, let me go And when we die, and tears fall, What will be then? And when we rise, and fears gone, There'll be an end

Homesong 02:59
lyrics

Homesong Situations let me know that all things gotta change Time lets me know that all things go Never understood the way some people see another side Faith is hard to hold onto But it's all right, here now It's alright here now Sky is getting darker as the day begins to fade Sun shines on your face just one last time The night ahead will be the hardest We've ever known But it's all the same in the end We're all the same in the end The hardest thing i ever had to do was say goodbye This home seems colder now you're gone But the place i know, the place i love, The place i wanna be, is right here And it's alright, time's gonna fly And it's alright, we've all got to cry And it's alright, your light still shines for me now

Beaming Out 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Beamin Out Beamin out of your radio Something’s growing but you’ll never know Cos it sounds so pretty and it sounds so sweet But its cold and dark and so obscene I’ve been troubled Big boys playin with their guns I’ve been troubled Countries going one by one I’ve been troubled Media knows what to say I’ve been troubled You can’t feel it slip away Night and day i keep hearin Words from the godfearin Stay at home and lock the doors And all your fears will be catered for I’ve been troubled Big boys playin with their guns I’ve been troubled Countries goin one by one I’ve been troubled Media knows what to say I’ve been troubled You cant feel it slip away First you had the red demon Then corporations got to thinkin Now there's terror and we're buildin walls While markets rise and markets fall I’ve been troubled Big boys playin with their guns I’ve been troubled Countries goin one by one I’ve been troubled Media knows what to say I’ve been troubled You can’t feel it slip away I’ve been troubled Big boys playin with their guns I’ve been troubled Countries joinin one by one I’ve been troubled Media's told what to say I’ve been troubled You can’t feel it slip away

Sweet Sarah Belle 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Sweet Sarah Belle You're mine and i've lost myself In a new kind of beauty and wealth The day that you came The world seemed the same But everything in me changed You're mine and i hope you know I'll never let you go Your smile lights my day In a delicate way And i hope it will always stay Your eyes they burn bright and new A pureness inside shines through As you make your way In this world today Let goodness remain in you. You're mine and it seems absurd But you cling to my every word I know this wont last long Some day you'll sing your own song I hope every word is heard Time is no friend of mine It empties like this bottle of wine Days go quickly by In the blink of an eye And soon from the nest you'll fly I'm yours and you should know No matter how far you roam Sweet Sarah Belle Let your dreams guide you well And know that i love you so

Approaching Rain 05:56
lyrics

Approaching Rain Waiting on a sign that leads to somewhere I can recognise, Took the wrong turn somewhere Now I'm driving out of time You could jump out any time you like But you’re still here, by my side Rain falls on horizons, drawing patterns In the sky Clouds formed on the ocean, casting shadows On our eyes You could jump out any time you like You’re still here by my side

That Voice 03:49
lyrics
buy track
That Voice Well, I remember seeing you Standing calm beneath the light As it bathed you in blue And you sang into the night And your sound it echoed out And it filled the room Raised my spirits high Raised me from the gloom Sing me a lullaby A song to end the day Sing me a lullaby And send me on my way With that voice Well i feel like I’ve been searching For that feeling once again But times fading now And the search it has no end Chorus Echoes in my heart Can tear my soul apart Lingers on and on In the beauty of your song

All The Love 03:05
lyrics
buy track
All The Love All the lies that you retell will One day come around And the love that you hold back will One day come around Chorus All the love that you resell, well it Brings back my memories Of a time that you meant well, and meant Something to me You don't know but it's said that You will never change You'll find words they mean nothing You'll just stay the same Chorus Chorus

Time 05:33
lyrics

Time All you see and, all you hear is time Time’s wasting away All your life you, you’ve been standing in line Time wasting away Time wasting away Left school early, you were waiting to shine Time wasting away Got a job then pushing nickels and dimes Time wasting away Time wasting away You’re frustrated, I can see it in your eyes, And time’s wasting away You’re just watching, your life passing you by Time wasting away Time wasting away Time wasting away Time, time wasting away Time wasting away Time wasting away
