Letting You Go 04:36
lyrics
buy track
When you’re caught in the middle of life, it seems alright When keeping your head down low, just seems ok If your friends don’t tell you it’s wrong, then maybe it’s alright But in the middle of the night, you can’t face another day. Looking back, you’ve seen the signs, for a long time now Looking back, you did your best, but you don’t know how. It’s all about moving on It’s all about letting you know It’s all about it being my turn now It’s all about letting you go. When the birds are singing, but you can’t hear them When the sun is shining, but you don’t feel the heat. When there’s love all around, but somehow you can’t touch it When it seems like everyone else lives a life that’s free… bridge Looking back, you know you should have made the changes before. Looking back, you lost the battles and in time you’ve lost the war. It’s all about moving on It’s all about letting you know It’s all about it being my turn now It’s all about letting you go. When you’re sitting beside someone, but feel so lonely When you smile outside but inside you feel despair When you try so hard but you know it won’t make a difference When you look in the mirror and don’t recognise the person there. bridge Looking back you’ve seen the signs for a long time now Looking back you did your best but you don’t know how. It’s all about moving on It’s all about letting you know It’s all about being my turn now It’s all about letting you go.

Orphans 04:00
lyrics
buy track
We all sit here All of us orphans All of us with less time ahead than there is behind. All of us knowing We’re more ebbing than flowing All of clutching to what’s left of our lives. Chorus I’m spending too much time Thinking of those who’ve left me behind Spending too much time feeling blue. Life keeps moving on and more of those I love are gone, But I’ve got plans and I’ve got dreams and I’ve got you. Verse 2 Sepia memories. Monochrome moments. Familiar faces smiling out from silver frames. Though time is healing You can never stop grieving Missing those faces that you’ll never see again. Chorus I’m spending too much time Thinking of those who’ve left me behind Spending too much time feeling blue. Life keeps moving on and more of those I love are gone, But I’ve got plans and I’ve got dreams and I’ve got you. Verse 3 Faces in shadows Sounds in the silence Memories stirring in those songs from long ago. Empty spaces That were their places Wishing that somehow you could maybe bring them home. Chorus I’m spending too much time Thinking of those who left me behind Spending too much time feeling blue. Time keeps moving on, and more of those I love are gone But I’ve got plans and I’ve got dreams and I’ve got you. I’ve got plans and I’ve got dreams. And I’ve got you.

Forgive and Forget 04:26
lyrics

The clouds are racing across the faceless sky You’re home late And I know why You’ve been playing your games and now you’re playing with fire Don’t hide your eyes I know you’re lying Tell me why I should forgive and forget I know that we’ve been down this road before Of course I knew you’d go back for more My fists are clenched but I’m too tired to fight I need to know But not tonight I think you know I’ll forgive and forget I’ve looked the other way too many times Forgiven you not for your sake but for mine I recognize the signs before you go Then you try to hide from me what I already know The clouds are racing across the faceless sky You’re home late And I know why You’ve been playing your games and now you’re playing with fire Don’t hide your eyes I know you’re lying Tell me why I should forgive and forget I’ve looked the other way too many times Forgiven you not for your sake but for mine I recognize the signs before you go Then you try to hide from me what I already know I know that we’ve been down this road before Of course I knew you’d go back for more My fists are clenched but I’m too tired to fight I need to know But not tonight I think you know I’ll forgive and forget I think you know I’ll forgive and forget Tell me why I’ll forgive and forget

Runaround 04:19
lyrics
buy track
She’s got eyes that say so much Though we haven’t even spoken But her voice cuts through the rush Since my love for her has woken I would love to say That she’s the one who got away…. I don’t think she knows my name Despite my heart’s persistence There is no one I can blame For her obvious indifference How to even try To be part of her life …. I can’t claim she’s let me Or given me the runaround I just know she’s leaving town Please turn around. ….. (please turn around).. etc If she could sense my love My heart would feel elation But now she’s moving on So there’ll be no reciprocation Love’s such a waste of time When I know she can’t be mine. Every single day I’ve imagined what I’d say If she only turned my way Please look my way ….. please look my way…. All the chances I have missed Longing for her heart’s attention While I’m longing to be kissed She’s not glanced in my direction Shyness is a curse That makes the heartache worse. I can’t claim she’s let me Or given me the runaround I just know she’s leaving town Please turn around. ….. (please turn around).. etc

Letters Tied in Ribbon 03:46
lyrics
buy track
All along the waterfront I watch for you to come The heat makes mini mirages, Think I see you through the sun. As evening falls I give up hope and turn back from the sea And go home to where your letters tied in ribbon wait for me. I know that I should put the past behind me and forget But you’re the best thing by far that has happened to me yet. My friends say I’m naïve and I should let your memory go. But your letters tied in ribbon tell me all I need to know. Your letters talk of love and dreams you said you’d share with me, Your letters talk of future days and how our lives could be. Words as sweet as honey, Words that promised we’d be one. But your letters didn’t tell me how to live now you are gone. The ribbon binds the papers and the words you wrote to me. My heart is bound to yours although you chose to set me free. Letters tied in ribbon taught my soul to soar and fly Letters tied in ribbon told me sometimes lovers lie. Your words are bound in satin ribbons of the brightest blue My heart is bound in memories of love and lust and you.

The River 04:59
lyrics
buy track
Running, rising capturing the sun And sending dancing light across its span. Trembling as the breeze goes over Winding ways through reeds and clover The river always tells me who I am. Water that in winter darkly sparkles In summer ripples snare light’s golden beams Rills and runnels bubble onwards Making their blind journey homewards The river pushes, always, to the sea And I am like a river I flow from day to day All the time I’m moving But I’m still the same. The river pays no heed to what’s behind Nor worries for the obstacles to come It’s never trapped by stony places Isn’t hurt by cruel faces It simply changes course and carries on. And I am like the river I take the easy track Always reaching forwards I’m not going back. Sometimes the River moves more slowly Leaving battered debris on the bends. Eddying in pebbled corners Getting dammed by others borders The pain inside a river never ends. And I am like the river Some days I lose my way I tell myself I’ve changed now But I’m still the same…… And I am like a river I flow from day to day All the time I’m moving But I’m still the same….. And I am like the river Some days I lose my way I tell you all I’ve changed now But I’m still the same…. Still the same Still the same Still the same.

One More Day With You 04:52
lyrics
buy track
Waiting for the skies to darken early Watching for the frosts to shimmer through Hoping that the winds will bring you with them Just to spend another winter’s day with you. Signs of summer blooming everywhere Heat and heavy perfume fill the air Endless golden days without a care But I’d rather spend a winter’s day with you. Cloudless skies kiss golden summer sands Meeting with my friends and shaking hands People making summer travel plans But I’d rather meet the winter storms with you. You who loved the darker days Blackened nights and morning greys You who stole my heart away One extraordinary frosty day When all the world was diamond-dusted And our love a kiss away. Skinny dipping in the sparkling river Drinking with my friends and with their lovers Summer days seem to go on forever But I’d change them all for one more day with you. La,la, la, la, la, la etc Signs of summer blooming everywhere Heat and heavy perfume fill the air Endless golden days without a care But I’d rather spend a winter’s day with you. You who loved the darker days Blackened nights and morning greys You who stole my heart away One extraordinary frosty day When all the world was diamond-dusted And our love a kiss away. Skinny dipping in the sparkling river Drinking with my friends and with their lovers Summer days seem to go on forever But I’d change them all for one more day with you. Waiting for the skies to darken early Watching for the frosts to shimmer through Hoping that the winds will bring you with them Just to spend another winter’s day with you.

Sunlight and Shadows 05:05
lyrics
buy track
I always knew that there was someone Waiting slightly out of reach In the half light or in shadows I never knew where you would be. You’d whisper through the wind Your echo beckoning Singing out that I could be free. I saw reflections in the windows But that was just the sunlight’s glare I heard you voice inside the silence I felt your kiss in rising air. Sometimes in the night I’d dream you held me tight But, in the morning, you weren’t there. Your heart beat loud upon the radio Your song was singing in the sea Your eyes shone through each slice of sunlight Feeling close, but out of reach. At last the day came when I found you You stepped out of the dark and shade You took my heart and took my hand too And all the shadows slipped away. And now in the night I feel you hold me tight And in the morning You are there. Your heart beats loud upon the radio Your song is singing in the sea Your eyes shine through each slice of sunlight Feeling close, and in reach. VERSE 4 At last the day came when I found you You stepped out of the dark and shade. You took my heart and took my hand too. And all the shadows slipped away. And now in the night I feel you hold me tight And in the morning You are there You are there You are there.
