01. Last Leaf
Mayflower blossoming out on the tree
Warm wind up from the south
Dragonfly hovering over the stream
Soft words which come from your mouth
Silent the hooves of the white horses ride
Glistening rivers of sand
Slow gentle whispers of retreating tide
Salt in the palm of your hand
Evergreen forcing it's way through the snow
Last leaf departs with a sigh
Land lies preparing itself for rebirth
Sweet love of life in your eye
02. Between the Lines
You’re an open book,
And you are the stories hidden between the words
You’re a melody,
And you are the poetry written in each verse
You’re a work of art,
And you are the only one to leave your mark
You’re a part of me
We’re the rain falling down
We’re a river running out
Flowing, slowly, falling, hold me
Won’t you, now
You’re the early morning light
You’re what keeps me up at night
You’re the meaning I find
When I read between the lines
You’re a diary,
And you are the secrets whispered by the trees
You’re a burning flame,
And you are the spark that catches on the breeze
You’re a harmony,
And you are the notes that fit so perfectly
You’re a part of me
03. Brave Spirit
An old man sat by a window
On his knee was a little girl no more than five
In his hand he held a worn and faded photograph
That he looked at with a spark and a tear in his eye
The girl said ‘Grandpa, who’s that pretty lady,
And why does her old picture make you cry?’
He looked into her blue eyes wide with wonder
And said ‘I wish she could’ve been here to see your smile’
She had a Kind heart, fierce mind, brave spirit
There the things I saw in her and now I see in you
Whatever lies ahead, don’t you fear it
For they’re the only things you need to see you through
A soldier’s wife with her heart broken
The Friday morning post brought the news
So she bowed her head to pray as the heavens opened
She’d never believed but now she’d nothing to lose
Give me a kind heart, fierce mind, brave spirit
And the courage to open my heart and let him go
That’s my prayer to you if you can hear it
Cuz I don’t think I can do this on my own
I can still see Mamma kneeling down before me
Holding tightly to my tiny hand
She said ‘I know they’ve taken Daddy from us way too soon
But there’s something I need you to understand...
You have a kind heart, a fierce mind, brave spirit
There the words he said to me, now I’m telling you
Kind heart, fierce mind, brave spirit
There the only things you need to see you through...
04. Winds of Change
Hand on heart, heart on the line
We've both tried but we're out of time
Close your eyes, run and hide
We'll take shelter as our souls unwind
I could have loved you if you'd shown me how
But you said that moving on is for the best
The winds of change are growing colder now
As they take away what little I have left
Turn to face separate ways
Standing in the ashes of a love we couldn't save
Years go by, season's fly
Fragile like an autumn leaf, I fall every time
I could have loved you if you'd shown me how
But you said that moving on is for the best
The winds of change are growing colder now
As they take away what little I have left
Hand on heart, heart on the line
We've both tried but we're out of time
05. Mine to Call
Maybe we were never meant to be
Maybe you were never mine to find
But that just don't make sense to me
When you're always on my mind
I think of you and I'm not meant to
But I know your face by heart
And how am I supposed to forget you,
When I don't know where to start?
Inside my head I can see it all
And I've kissed your lips a thousand times or more
And I try to stay grounded
Cuz I know how quickly I fall
And I'm terrified of losing
What isn't even mine to call
You're never gonna see me looking over
But I could stare at you for years
And when you look back over your shoulder
I know you won;t see me through the tears
And I don't know if you're the same
But there's so much I'll never say
And there's no winners in this game
I can feel you slip away
Inside my head I can see it all
And I've kissed your lips a thousand times or more
And I try to stay grounded
Cuz I know how quickly I fall
And I'm terrified of losing
What isn't even mine to call
06. The Secret Gardener
Solitary man bending to the soil
What harvest will he bring? The fruit will never spoil
Come to autumn town, enter on your own
Drink in all the hues, take in all the tones
Every note planted with care
To reap the melodies
Each word nurtured shares a story like a tree
To the sadness with no choice
Transparent with the pain
He gives a quiet voice
He helps it live again
Every note planted with care
To reap the melodies
Each word light enough to carry on the breeze
Leaves are falling (leaves are falling)
I'm leaving autumn town
Leaves are falling (and I'm leaving)
I'm leaving autumn town
PARALLEL LINES album
- LYRICS
01. Conway and Loretta
Some people will make you laugh and others make you cry
Some folk go really well together just like you and I
Some friends are with you 'til the end while others come and go
Some folk you aint too sure about, and others you just know
And there are many people in this big old crazy life
But there are just a few of them who really fit just right
Those like Gram and Emmy-Lou, and Dolly, and Kenny too
They make magic, when they strike a tune
Cuz two is always better, just ask Conway and Loretta
Or take a look at Jonny Cash and June
And there's something about spending time with you
Makes me think someday soon
You and I will be great too
Some folks will really dig your quirks, and others they won't get 'em
Some'll take you for a merry ride, if you let 'em
But things are always easy when it comes to you and I
For you hold on to my ankles while my head's up in the sky
And there are many people in this big old crazy life
But there are just a few of them who really fit just right
Those like Gram and Emmy-Lou, and Dolly, and Kenny too
They make magic, when they strike a tune
Cuz two is always better, just ask Conway and Loretta
Or take a look at Jonny Cash and June
And there's something about spending time with you
Makes me think someday soon
You and I will be great too
02. Until You Stop Me
I wish I had an ounce of willpower to send you on your way
But instead I hear my mouth a-talking, asking you to stay
And I'm sensing no hesitation so I guess you feel the same
We're both a victim of temptation with only ourselves to blame
And Oh you can try your best to kid yourself that
No there's nothing going on...
You've been giving me the eyes lately, the green light for the chase
You can try, you can deny it baby, it's written all over your face
And I know that you are lonely darlin', I can see how much you what me
And I'll hold you tight until the morning if you tell me that's what you need
And Oh you can try your best to kid yourself that
There's really nothing going on
The trouble is we're on our own now darlin
And while it isn't right it can't be wrong
Give me just a single night with you
Just a single night to prove what I'm feeling isn't true
Pour me another whiskey on the rocks
Tell me what you're dreaming of
I'll go on until you stop me
And I think that you are quite mistaken if it's innocence you plead
Cuz your hands were crafted by the devil as you keep me on my knees
And Oh you can try your best to kid yourself that
There's really nothing going on
The trouble is we're on a roll now darlin'
And while it isn't right it can't be wrong
Give me just a single night with you
Just a single night to prove what I'm feeling isn't true
Pour me another glass of cheap wine
And I'll say that we are fine if you say that you are mine and
Pour me another whiskey on the rocks
Tell me what you're dreaming of
I'll go on until you stop me
03. Like The Moon
I talk to the moon every night
She tells me about the sun and all his light
And I speak of you
And the shadows in my mind you crawl in to
Cuz everyone has a chapter
They don't want to read aloud
But every night I read the pages that
I can't bear to tear out
And like the moon,
there's always a part of me hidden away
The part that I can't face,
In the cold, cold light of the day
I wandered alone tonight
Down every empty street we used to go
And I think of you
And the maelstrom you brought me down in to
I have an easy picture
And I sometimes paint myself into the scene
I am the sister moon
Although I know it's no more than a dream
Like the moon
There's always a part of me hidden away
The part that I can't face
In the cold light of the day
Caught between two calls
The one to stay and the one to go
Stuck inside these walls
Looking out to see the crescent moon
She's calling me
Sister moon, sister moon
04. Eyes To See
I know it’s often said
That things go wrong sometimes
I seem to spend my life
Looking around, when I might as well be blind
It’s here in front of me
You don’t need ears to hear, don’t need eyes to see
Thoughts spiral round my head
I can’t pick out the strands
All that I thought I knew is wrong
I’m a stranger to this land
It’s here in front of me
You don’t need ears to hear, don’t need eyes to see
05. The Thing With Broken Hearts
I don’t mind
If you say my walls are too high for you to climb
I’ll be fine
Behind these familiar defences
You’ll waste your time
To find there’s nothing there but emptiness inside
You can try
But I’m not making any promises
Cuz that’s the thing with broken hearts
They never go together like before they fell apart
And if I let you in
You’re gonna have to promise not to break anything
I’ve been so long
In the cold I hardly know how warmth feels anymore
The flames have gone
Oh but soon they’re gonna dance again
I’m holding on
Cuz it’s easier than knowing what lies just behind the door
The time has come
For love and trust to have their chance again
But that’s the thing with broken hearts
They never go together like before they fell apart
And if I let you in
You’re gonna have to promise not to break anything
That’s the thing with broken hearts
They never go together like before they fell apart
And if I let you in
You’re gonna have to promise not to break , break...
That’s the thing with broken hearts
They never go together like before they fell apart
And if I let you in
You’re gonna have to promise not to break me again
06. Rising Tide
I know you like the back of my hand
And I know you'll understand why I'm leaving
We both know this feeling
And you know me from the outside in
And here we are again wide open
Promises unspoken
Just like the moon as she kisses the stars goodnight
Our love will come back in time like the waves on a rising tide
I have tried to be a stranger to you
And you've tried too, we're failing
There's just too much left to say, and
We've got memories that mean the world
And although they hurt, I'm smiling
This won't be our last goodbye, and
Just like the moon as she kisses the stars goodnightOur love will come back in time like the waves on a rising tide
We don't know where this love is gonna go
Ebb and flow like the waves roll on
Like the moonlight on the water
It's beautiful, but never lasts too long
I'll be here when time is on our side
And you'll be mine, just fallin'
Maybe then we'll have it all, and
Just like the moon as she kisses the stars goodnightOur love will come back in time like the waves on a rising tide
07. Close The Door
Guess I’ve never felt so restless
To get some miles beneath my feet
You know it almost makes me breathless
To think of where we’ll be
It’s a shock to feel so helpless
When what I need is very small
And with the friends who are so selfless
We’ve got it all and more
Drain the pipes and put the out of office on
Throw the stress into the file marked ‘s’
Take a breath, take a step
Take my time
And close the door behind
Though I’ve heard the doubters say
We may be over the hill
We’ve only just begun the climb
So just enjoy the view,
Cos we’re counting footsteps still
Drain the pipes and put the out of office on
Throw the stress into the file marked ‘s’
Take a breath, take a step
Take my time
And close the door behind
08. Remember When
Remember back when we watched movies on VHS
When you'd make your favourite playlist on a tape cassette
When you'd dial up for the internet
And Beyoncé wasn't famous yet
Oh I remember back when we first met
Remember when we'd stay up talking 'til 3am
When the credit on your phone went I'd call you back again
I remember when confectionary was bigger like it used to be
And everything seemed just perfect to me
Remember back when Snow Patrol did Chasing Cars
And we laid out 'til the morning light just counting stars
Remember when I still believed it every time you promised me
I would never be alone again
Oh do you remember when
Do you remember when
Remember back when there was nothing standing in our way
When summer seemed to last forever and a day
I'd drink whiskey, you'd smoke cigarettes, while we waited for the sun to set
And we swore we would always stay the same
Remember back when Snow Patrol did Chasing Cars
And we laid out 'til the morning light just counting stars
Remember when I still believed it every time you promised me
I would never be alone again
Oh do you remember when
Do you remember when
Remember when we didn't even think to doubt
Back when we believed we had it all worked out
Now you're a million miles away, though it feels like yesterday
And all we have is just a memory
Remember back when Snow Patrol did Chasing Cars
And we laid out 'til the morning light just counting stars
Remember when I still believed it every time you promised me
I would never be alone again
Oh do you remember when
Do you remember when
Oh do you remember when
Do you remember when
09. Shorthand
Lines of glasses on the window
Bending sunlight round their stems
Faded curtains hanging sadly
Lost thoughts and dusty hems
This old house won’t stand forever
Though it was here before we came
Torn paper and frayed carpets
But it somehow feels the same
It doesn’t matter how much time goes by
You’ll always find
A chapter of my story tucked away insIde
These walls
They’ve seen mine crumble
And the dreams I built from nothing much take flight
It’s good to be back home tonight, home tonight
I felt the roughness of your hand in mine,
And suddenly I’m five years old
Holding tightly and looking up at you,
You led me safe across the road
It doesn’t matter how much older I get
I still find
The memories they linger quietly inside
My mind
Full of stories of the times we had when I was just a child
It’s good to be back home tonight, home tonight
10. Hell Would Be An Easy Ride
Goodbye hurting
Goodbye pain
I hope I never have to
See your face again
Goodbye lonely
You're on your own
And if you see me now you'd be surprised
Just how much I've grown
Goodbye fear, farewell crying
So long pouring out my heart and soul
To find that you've stopped trying
I'm not afraid of the Devil
Trying to get me on his side
Cuz after you, Hell would be an easy ride
Goodbye guilty
I'm moving on
And if you think I'm coming back this way again
Then you're wrong
Goodbye empty
It's about time
That we went our separate ways again
Cuz you're no friend of mine
CHORUS
And you can't hold on to something when it's already gone
And you know I won't stay down for long, I'm moving on
Goodbye heartache
I'm done with you
Though in the time we spent together
I sure learned a thing or two
About what love is
And what it aint
And how you only really know the blessing
When it's gone away
CHORUS
11. Parallel Lines
Railroad tracks and the other side of the road
So far apart but at the same time so close
Same direction, all the while, like parallel lines
Parallel lines, parallel lines
Two trees growing from the same ground
Reaching up for the light, but never reaching out
From the distance, two silhouettes, of parallel lines
From the distance, just silhouettes, of parallel lines
Worlds away but still near enough to see
We both opened up our hearts, and kept them out of reach
We're keeping our distance, side by side, like parallel lines
We're keeping our distance, side by side, like parallel lines
Parallel lines, parallel lines

- Lyrics
01. Anybody Else But You
He’s got the blue sky in his eyes
When he says jump, I say how high
He can make my knees turn weak
He could be just perfect for me
If only he was anybody else but you
She’s got the moonlight in her hair
She says come over and I’m right there
Her loving means the world to me
She could be the woman of my wildest dreams
If only she was anybody else but you
We’ve been down this road before so many times
We just can’t seem to work it out, no matter how hard we try
She’s really just my kind
Oh I can’t get him off my mind
She forever leaves me wanting more
And he’s real difficult to ignore
If only she was anybody else but you
We’ve been down this road before so many times
We just can’t seem to work it out, no matter how hard we try
He’s got the sweetest smile
And I think about her all the while
We’ve really got it going on
Maybe she could be the one
If only she was anybody else but you
If only you were anybody else but you!
02. Where You're Standing Now
Just keep your head down
That's what they say
keep your chin up darlin'
Tomorrow is another day
But when every day's the same as all the others then
Maybe it's time for a change
You've never felt so weak, but
I know you've never been so strong
And you might be drowning now but know it won't be long
Give yourself the space to see
That where you're standing now is where you need to be, and
(chorus)
There's always light behind the clouds
Even after the whole damn sky falls down
And hiding right behind the doubts
Are all of the answers there just waiting to be found
You're not broken
You're not falling apart
You're just falling into place
And you'll be amazed
At the difference time makes
Let yourself be broken
And listen when it hurts
Cuz it's the times disguised as hell on earth
When you have the most to learn
And know when to keep on trying
And when its just
A bridge you need to burn
So many little choices
Like diamonds in your hand
All the doors that open
When you let the old ones slam
And give yourself the chance to see
That where you're standing now
is where you need to be
(Chorus repeat)
03. Faded Curtains
Lines of glasses on the window
Bending sunlight round their stems
Faded curtains hanging sadly
Lost thoughts and dusty hems
This old house won’t stand forever
Though it was here before we came
Torn paper and frayed carpets
But it somehow feels the same
It doesn’t matter how much time goes by
You’ll always find
A chapter of my story tucked away insde
These walls
They’ve seen mine crumble
And the dreams I built from nothing much take flight
It’s good to be back home tonight, home tonight
I felt the roughness of your hand in mine
And suddenly I’m five years old
Holding tightly and looking up at you
Led me safe across the road
It doesn’t matter how much older I get
I still find
The memories they linger quietly inside
My mind
Full of stories of the times we had when I was just a child
It’s good to be back home tonight, home tonight
04. Latin Song
You’re the guilty secret that I can’t get off my mind
And I know you feel it when I think of you at night
Try as you might even innocence wears thin
So turn down the lights, I’ll show you where to begin
Chorus
I’ve seen every shade of black,
I try to leave but the devil keeps on pulling me back
Oh darling won’t you come with me
Give into yourself and you’ll see
Temptation loves company
And you can’t hide, I can see through your disguise
And I know that smile as you undress me with your eyes
A fantasy gone way too far
You don’t want me and yet here we are
Repeat chorus
05. Midnight Wildflowers
He was just a small town boy
A young 19 years old
And she was shy of 17
With hair to match her heart of gold
He knew she was prettier
Than any girl he’d ever known
So later on when the band stopped playing
He asked to walk her home
Come with me now
Dance with me out across the moors
The scent of wildflowers
And my hand in yours
Falling in love was easy
Beneath the stars that night
And two years later to the day
She became his winter bride
And even when life’s grey mundane
Would start to take a toll
The two of them had such a love
Their hearts were never cold
Come with me now
Dance with me out across the moors
The scent of wildflowers
And my hand in yours
Oh they dreamed together
Under the moon
And though love may last forever
Life can be so cruel
Years gone by he sits beside
The love that shared their home
Cuz growing old together is
Not so easy on your own
And after church each Sunday
He’d rest a while by her side
Lay down wildflowers
And think about that night
Come with me now
Dance with me out across the moors
the scent of wildflowers
And my hand in yours
Come let me dream again
Of dancing with you across the moors
the scent of wildflowers
And my hand in yours
06. Skinny McGee
Fish in the sky, birds in the sea
Woke up this morning I was drunk like a bee
Locked the door but I found the key
Why don’t you wake up, Skinny McGee?
Skinny McGee, Skinny McGee
Why don’t you wake up and shake the tree
You’ve been sleeping since before the big freeze,
Why don’t you wake up Skinny McGee?
Went to the courthouse to lodge my plea
Couldn’t afford to pay the fee
Now I’m just rolling around like a pea
Why don’t you wake up Skinny McGee?
Chorus
07. Caledonia Again
Ain’t it funny, how a feeling so strong
Can come back when you thought it was all gone
Faded memory, you thought had disappeared
Come haunt you all so clear after so long
It happens when I hear that song
The wind in the trees, the roar of the fire
The sound of brand new strings on an old guitar
Takes me right back to that night
Whenever I hear Caledonia again
I think of you my friend
And as the years go by, I hear it playing from time to time
And you walk across my mind like an old ghost
And the words they say, I think about you all the time
And that’s more than just a line don’t you think so
And maybe we’ll never know
The wind in the trees, the roar of the fire
The sound of brand new strings on an old guitar
Takes me right back to that night
Whenever I hear Caledonia again
I think of you my friend
And as the years fade away, the memories are turning grey
You will never be a stranger and I’ll see you again one day
The wind in the trees, the roar of the fire
The sound of brand new strings on an old guitar
Takes me right back to that night
Whenever I hear Caledonia again
I think of you my friend
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
Lies
It’s not your hand I want to hold
It’s not your heart that captivates my soul
It’s not your smile that holds mine
It’s not you that I have looked so hard to find
I’m not the one that dreams of you
I’m not mesmerised by everything you do
I don’t believe each word you say
I’m not hypnotised by every move you make
I’m not trying not to fall, I don’t even care at all
And that’s a fact (and you should know that…)
I don’t miss you (like I used to)
I don’t want you all the time
I don’t keep you (like a secret)
In my sweetest dreams at night
I don’t need you, I don’t love you
I don’t picture every memory of you and me
And see you every time I close my eyes
And maybe you’d believe me If I weren’t telling you lies
It’s not the fire that burns inside
You’re not the moon above that moves this restless tide
It’s not my heart that’s yours to steal
It’s not your tenderness that I have longed to feel
I’m not trying not to fall, I don’t even care at all
And that’s a fact (and you should know that…)
I don’t miss you (like I used to)
I don’t want you all the time
I don’t keep you (like a secret)
In my sweetest dreams at night
I don’t need you, I don’t love you
I don’t picture every memory of you and me
And see you every time I close my eyes
And maybe you’d believe me If I weren’t telling you lies
Pacific Waves
We’re waves in motion
Flowing through these lives of ours
We’ll survive the deepest ocean
But drown in a sea of stars
We’re words unspoken
Melodies carried on the breeze
Promises and hearts wide open
And dreams too big to believe
Will you be my anchor
If I say I’ll be your lighthouse in the darkest night?
We’ll dance on golden shores
While the moon showers the sea with silver light
We’re rivers flowing
Leaves that fall to feed the ground
Embers that once burned still glowing
And clouds where silver linings are found
We’re a still horizon
Where every setting sun will burn
Below the skies the moon will rise in
And above tides forever on the turn
Will you be my anchor
If I say I’ll be your lighthouse in the darkest night?
We’ll dance on golden shores
While the moon showers the sea with silver light
Blood On My Hands
You were the best thing I ever had
But you didn’t know it, you didn’t know it
You were the only one I ever really loved
But I didn’t show it, I didn’t show it
Chorus
Here I go again, blaming everybody else
When the truth is deep down I just can’t forgive myself
I know what I’ve done, now our love is dying
I’ve got blood on my hands and I can’t hide it
I was the only one that you could ever trust
But I didn’t see it, I didn’t see it
And now I’m sorry but it’s not enough
And you don’t believe it, you don’t believe it
Chorus
Now I find myself lost and I don’t know what to do
Nothing I could say would change you feel,
I kick myself so hard for losing you
Chorus
The Bed We Made
I’ve heard the weatherman say there’s a storm brewing
He’s not wrong
I’ve seen those clouds in your eyes getting darker
For so long
Looks like it’s going on for heavy rain
Right now it’s sunny with a chance of a hurricane
You made the rules and I played, You made me renegade
Now we lie in the bed we made...
We knew that playing with matches and gasoline
Could go wrong
But still we’re drawn like a moth to the flame within
So strong
Oh we never meant for it to go this far
We tried not to let it hold But here we are
You wrote the rules for play, You let me win again
Now here we are
We have to lie in the bed we made
Hold On
Every year at this time, the world takes to sliding
People like you and like me find new ways of hiding
Maybe you’ll unfold yourself like a fan
Open your wings like a butterfly can
I feel the water is thin How can it hold me? (Lean back and I'll be there for you)
I feel the weight pressing in It wants to enfold me (you’ll float if you trust to let go)
This is too much for me even to try
I’ll be here tomorrow, still right by your side
Hold on, hold on
This is not the first time today I’ve noticed my breathing
Counting every smallest intake Inside I’m screaming
I’ll push away all the latest debris
I can’t be sure that the mess isn’t me
Hold on Just hold on
Almost Mine
Where the stillness of the lake is like a mirror
As the sun sets on her shore each afternoon
Where the river weaves a ribbon of pure silver
And the wild flowers dance beneath the moon
You took my hand and there we walked together
And I fell for you like a raindrop from the sky
In the place where the mountains reach the heavens
And you were almost mine
Where the silence in the vale sings like a choir
And the evergreens stand tall against the breeze
Where the rushes bow their heads toward the mire
And the wind whispers secrets to the reeds
Where we lay down on the ground among the heather
And I fell for you like a needle from the pines
In the place where the mountains reach the heavens
And you were almost mine
Where the skylark sings a song about the summer
'cause in winter all it seems to do is rain
The years roll on and into one another
And I wish that I could see your face again
'cause I remember when a day felt like forever
And I fell for you like a falling star that night
In the place where the mountains reach the heavens
And you were almost mine
Running Out
There on the side, are two glasses of whiskey
One's empty
Here on the couch, I sit waiting for you to call me
And hold me
Can’t you see you’re that something on my mind
At the bottom of every bottle you’re all I’ll find
They say that time's a healer, there’s no doubt
I’m starting to see we’re running out
There on the walls, little pieces of your memory
Haunt me
Here in our bed, I will sleep if I remember how to
Without you
Chorus
Here in my head you will never be away from me Stay with me
Uncaged Bird
Little thing
You keep your mind untold
Your thoughts a rosebud yet to unfold
You still sing
Though others shout above
The small insistent notes of love
A pocket of night stars
No fear of cutting free
I swallowed down your spark
Now there’s a fire inside of me
Cast adrift
Yet tethered to the dream
You hollowed out a log to float downstream
Looking up
The cracked and broken sky
A cloud-filled pattern hits your eye
A pocket of night stars
No fear of cutting free
I swallowed down your spark
Now there’s a fire inside of me
Little thing
You keep your dreams untold
Your thoughts a rosebud yet to unfold
You still sing
Though others shout above
The small insistent notes of your love
Something
Yesterday I heard that song
I sang along with the radio
It took me back to you and that old guitar,
The summertime we felt so long ago
Something's have changed now, but I still say the same
And I’d go in a heartbeat back to that day
Remember how easily conversation flowed like wine from the bottle on the table that night
And our eyes said more than our words did
And even now when it’s all just a dreamlike memory, ships that passed in the night
Yeah I’m sure as hell there’d be something
You're married now, there’s a ring on your finger
Just like the one he gave to me
And time passed, and things changed, it don’t fade
The memory of how it could have been
Chorus
And if we passed on the street today, would you realise?
Turn around and give a second glance
And would you fly back in time to that night
Given half a chance
Something's changed now, but I still stay the same and I’d go in a heartbeat....
Chorus
Walking Barefoot
When every word you shape shrinks to nothing at all
When every step you take, runs the risk of a fall
When you’re hiding in the shade from the fear of doing wrong
Closing up your mouth so others cannot hear your song
With the walls around you blocking out the sky
You can’t see how to try
And you’re not broken, you’re just trying to feel complete
And you’re getting there, though sometimes it’s exhausting to believe
And when you can’t even see the wood for the trees
\Just keep walking through the forest In your bare feet
When the blindfold is removed the light can hurt your eyes
When you’re trying to be the you that others recognise
When you’re running from a thing that you can’t even describe
When the people all around mistake your flight for stupid pride
When your power to speak becomes a noiseless cry
You can’t see how to try
And you’re not broken, you’re just trying to feel complete
And you’re getting there, though sometimes it’s exhausting to believe
And when you can’t even see the wood for the trees
Just keep walking through the forest In your bare feet
Cos you're stronger than you think, more worthy than you feel
And you're more than you believe you are If only you could see
And you’re not broken, you’re just trying to feel complete
And you’re getting there, though sometimes it’s exhausting to believe
And when you can’t even see the wood for the trees
Just keep walking through the forestIn your bare feet
Cos you’re stronger than you think
More worthy than you feel
And your fragile heart Is beautiful to me
