Waking 04:27
Oh these covers envelope me I could stay here all day Just sleeping, dreaming This Sunday away Oh but you have risen The music drifts through these walls Leading me to wakefulness Leading me from these dreams From my dreams And so I rise And I wander these halls and corridors Seeking you I find you here, I find you here I find you here and I find you here I will always find you, always find you here I will always find you, always find you here

Strangers 03:44
She can hear his heart beat and his breathing in her ear How can she be this close to someone without fear She listens to the clock it’s ticking 3am However good this is she can’t stay Got to go again She’s got her bag and put’s her clothes back on She kisses his cheek and then she tiptoes ‘cross the floor Closes the door quietly and hopes he wont awake To read the cheap note she’s left to explain Strangers in the night Together they’ll never see the day Never see the day Well she’s on the road she’s leaving town Radio’s blaring, country pie She runs her fingers through the knots in her hair Shields her eyes from another headlight’s glare Strangers in the night Together they’ll never see the day Never see the day She wonders if he could be the one To stop what she calls her wicked ways She wonders if there could be gold at the end of a rainbow Just waiting for her to claim She can’t understand why her heart is aching She can’t stop thinking ‘bout his smile It never used to be this hard to leave them And the trail of broken hearts it goes back miles Strangers in the night Together they’ll never see the day Never see the day She can hear his heartbeat and his breathing in her ear How can she be this close to someone without fear She listens to the clock it’s ticking 3am However good this is she can’t stay Got to go again

Here 04:10
I miss you when you’re far away Lose my thread on time and space It’s funny how you still grip me I’ve still got my sights set on you I wonder if you can still see it Does it still shine from my eyes Or do you have to search for it Hidden within these lines It’s here This love, our love It’s still here This love, our love It’s still here Wrap ourselves up in the cold of winter We could lose our selves in this place Of you and me and no one else You still make me feel like I won the main race I wonder if you can still see it Does it still shine from my eyes Or do you have to search for it Hidden within these lines It’s here This love, our love It’s still here This love, our love It’s still here

Blue Eyes 03:43
You’ve got the prettiest smile I ever did see And you can just stay awhile Just to please me You’ve got the bluest eyes this side of the sea And if you’ll just look my way I’ll be good company After all this time You still kill me Slay me with a smile I would do anything For you to be with me
5.
Autumn 04:20
Autumn’s on the morning air Feels like the end of summer’s here Red and gold they’ll fall like tears These autumn leaves Winter he will come again Dark days and freezing rains We’ll hide away inside Till the spring I hope you found a little warmth in here To keep you I hope you found a little warmth in here To keep you through these autumn tears Summer’s turned her face from me Left me on a chilling breeze Of frozen breath and crunching leaves Under feet Oh I am a summer child Worship while the sun does shine The feel of warmth Upon my skin I hope you’ve kept a little warmth in there To keep you I hope you’ve kept a little warmth in there To keep you through these winter years Autumn’s on the morning air Feels like the end of summer’s here Red and gold they’ll fall like tears These autumn leaves If I had the money and the time I’d follow where summer’s face does shine Around the world Around the world I hope you’ve found a little warmth in here To keep you I hope you’ve found a little warmth in here To keep you through these autumn tears

Stolen Crown 03:34
I once had a prince He had hair of crimson Skin so fair Eyes like a stormy sea He spoke of my beauty and his love for me In all ways he was true Till one day he travelled to a land across the sea He said he had to go alone To see just what he could see Had to find the jewel in his heart Before he could crown me as his queen Before long he was lonesome Such a mistake had never been He said to journey away From his land and from me I used to visit him there Just two days or three At Christmas he returned With perfumes, silver and silks for me When he went back I was hopeful That time would not pass too slow Then my prince would return and claim me for his own One day he returned He did not come for me Now he shall be king alone And I shall never be his queen An empty vessel am I Alone with this sorrow in me I wish my prince Had never travelled To that land across the sea For it stole all his love from me It stole all his love from me I once had a prince He had hair of crimson Skin so fair Eyes like a stormy sea

Tide 04:01
All I ask is that you move me Fill this heart of mine till it overflows Like a river in flood Rushing with emotion Lost on this tide could you carry me Like a river to the sea And why should we stand still Accept that this is it When there’s so much more if we just let it I want so much more baby if you’ll give it All I ask is that you move me Fill this heart of mine till it overflows Like a river in flood Rushing with emotion Lost on this tide could you carry me Like a river to the sea Could you hold me in your hands Catch my colours in the light Or you could throw me to the sea Lose me in the inky depths Like I could lose myself in you In you Like I could just lose myself in you Would you take it if I give it Would you carry me Like a river to the sea Floating out on the tide All I ask is that you move me Fill this heart of mine till it overflows Like a river in flood Rushing with emotion Lost on this tide could you carry me Like a river to the sear I’m floating out on the tide

Stars 01:28
The stars are bright tonight I get home and you’re sleeping I want to wake you up But stories of tonight they will keep till morning
9.
Oh she melts this heart Where there were frozen wastes Full of the hurt of broken hearts She shines a light With a sideways glance And softens all hardness with her spark Oh she fills this heart with hope Where it was drifting offshore Full of the bitterness of unrealised dreams She shines a light With a single smile And fills this heart up with her laugh Everything was faded Just jaded and tired from a reckless youth She embodies everything I’ve hoped for All I’ve ever dreamed Some kind of beauty rarely ever seen Oh she melts this heart Where there were shattered fragments Full of the regret of things gone past She shines a light With a single glance And heals this heart with her love She heals this heart up with her love

Rumours 05:29
I find I’m laughing at myself again Only this time there’s a different pain As the rain slashes at my face And the wind tugs at my hair I wonder where you are And why you’re not here You should know by now darling The way that rumours fly The way that people exaggerate Turning things into lies And you should know by now darling The scandalous things they say Because I’ve heard recently That’s what’s keeping you away I don’t know why I’m laughing at myself When I’m wishing I was somewhere else This weather kind of fits my mood There’s a big black cloud hanging overhead Are you laughing at me Still calling me the fool You should know..... I’m thinking darling we should talk this through Would you please stop ignoring me There’s so many things I’ve got to say to you So many things we forgot to do You should know..... It’s only rumours It’s only rumours It’s just rumours, it’s rumours Keeping you away It’s just rumours, it’s rumours Keeping you away Keeping you away
