In all this mystery and changing
Curving unexpected tides
Makers carving out their story
All our making will decide tonight
Mmmm
Well here you are again in front of me
Wearing clothes I know so well
Yea you look different
But it feels like the same thing
Yet all our stories dig a well
So no I don’t ignore you
But yes I have been out of touch
And don't think I don't adore you
If anything a little too much
A little too much
Mmmm
In all this busyness and sameness
Heads lay down to unmet eyes
Hey what’s the deal with you and wonder?
You’re running free to run and hide
So no I don’t ignore you
But yes I have been out of touch
And don't think I don't adore you
If anything a little too much
A little too much
Mmmm
In all this mystery In all this mystery

We're Just a Love Song
05:02

Are we pretending
That these hearts beat so far apart?
It’s been so long
Are you still the one
I gave forevers to from the start?
And why when the room is full
Or when silence drapes these walls
Does it every time
Rain down with thoughts of you?
Well that’s by by the way
(By by the wayside by by the wayside)
That’s all by by the way
Now we’re just a love song
A story so sad
Lost in a reverie
Of what we had
And so you’ll live in these song lines
And bohemia weeps
As we sing so sincerely
Of things we never speak
We were moving out of time
Singing so fast along
Forgot the other one
Still I learnt your song by heart
Cherished verses in the dark
I didn’t think they’d etch out such a mark
So that’s why when I feel so free
So big, so ridden of belief
That I find myself singing you back to me
Well that’s by by the way
(By by the wayside by by the wayside)
That’s all by by the way
Now we’re just a love song
A story so sad
Lost in a reverie
Of what we had
And so you’ll live in these song lines
And bohemia weeps
As we sing so sincerely
Of things we never
Never never never never speak
[Chorus repeats]

Oh cold earth, the warrens and the dust
Oh cold earth, the warrens and the dust
Oh singing bird, the sunset and the sky
Oh singing bird, the sunset and the sky
Oh oh the river, the moonlight and the sea
Oh oh the river, the moonlight and the sea

All My Swim by Faeland
In the hills silence stays still
Time changes moons wane
With the water reflections meet
Bodies open into the sea
Dreaming eyes of stars unfold
Of sun on water and a searcher’s shore
Lapping waves wash off a desert of sleep
Bring me into that tender keep
And if you’ll sing this song
Quiet river then I will come to you
And if you’ll lay me down
Quiet river then I will sing to you
I’ll give you all my swim
Quiet river all my swim
I’ll give you all my swim
Quiet river all my swim
Feels like a lifetime since jumping in
Waiting onside now it’s cool on skin
The sun was higher when my heart sank
Speed me forward to the river bank
Do you remember sitting down?
Green embankment
Weir out of town
Do you remember Saltford?
In the pouring rain
In December hurricane
Oh that hurricane
And if you’ll sing this song
Quiet river then I will wait for you
And if you’ll still this heart
Quiet river then I will swim to you
I’ll give you all my swim
Quiet river all my swim
I’ll give you all my swim
Quiet river all my swim
I’ll give you all my swim
Quiet river ooo
I’ll give you all my swim
Quiet river ooo
Oooo oooo...(oh oh the river)
Oooo oooo...(oh oh the river)
Oooo oooo... Oooo oooo
Oooo oooo ey ay

Oh the sun was singing lower in the sky
And a man unknown to these parts passed by
He said a maiden fair is what I seek
I’ve been walking through them hills a week
The men looked up
The women they did speak
They said if there’s e’er a moment here
That we find free
All the girls they run to the places they can be
They lift their voices to the clouds
Sing their hearts so free and loud
You’ll find them down the oak or at the glen
They’ll be singing
Ooh la lye la lye lye lye lye lye
Ooh la lye lye lye lye lye lye lye
Our young man to his hat he tightly held
What were these things unknown to him
Of what they told?
A shiver sent unto his spine
He said right I’ll wait here till the night
The women laughed
The men spoke up to him
They said this night the moon is full
The girls will roam
The last thought of theirs tonight is coming home
For nothing will they stop their song
They’ll be howling there the whole night long
Dear gentlemen rest now and let them be
[Chorus x 2]
And as he slept he heard an ancient song and call
Within his bones were notes so sad and beautiful
An oak an ash a thorn a drum a hand a heart a song
Colliding memories of places he had never walked
They’re from the glens of oak they’re by the sea
There are nights of song
Just weaving down the breeze
Find yourself a moment’s rest
Hear the sounds of singing breaths
You’ll find them down the oak or at the shore
[Chorus x 4]

The Wheel

Oh how the mighty wheel does spin
Works to give take away
Seeming at whim
Oh I have been fattened
I have been thinned
By its spherical forces
And sisters of spin
I have been lost
I’ve been sacred and found
Picked up my pieces when it spun back around
I’ve been enchanted
I have been fooled
By the people it brings me
But always I’m schooled
As it spins round
Round
Some would give to lay their hands on its side
Stop it in motion and in luck reside
I could be fearless but would I be free?
As a keeper of circles
An infinite queen
As an infinite queen
As an infinite queen
As an infinite queen
Mmmm
These days I see a difference in shape
Of my keeper of circles and meandering fates
Thought that this circle was closed
Me locked inside
It’s a spiral
Spiralling out of sight
Oh how the mighty wheel does spin
Works to give take away
Seeming at whim
Oh I have been fattened
I have been thinned
By its spherical forces
And sisters of spin
By its spherical forces
And sisters of spin

Silent Story
04:23

Climb to the Northern Star
Swim to the south
It’s about changing the scenery
Moving furniture about
Nothing drowned out a melody
There’s not enough drops
But you say everything’s ok hun
That’s where the conversation stops
A child that explored so far
Swam through the night
Now you’re sailing for everyone
Holding onto journeys tight
Oh you can sing any song that you can make
We can sing any song that you can take
You with your silent story
You with your silent story
She’s taking the hemispheres
Changing today
Trying to start a new anywhere
But make it not yesterday
It might be about family
It’ll keep you afloat
But you find it’s the same everywhere
You’re the same everywhere you go
Oh you with your silent story
You with your silent story
Oh you with your silent story
Oh you with your silent story
And the days you come undone
I know you fear your web unspun
And when my hands may feel afar
It’s not for a lack of love
We can sing any song that you make
We can any song that you can take

Train
04:57

As colour drains from these trees
A visitor brings me memories
Seconds flat and I’m on that train again
A flash of colour spark of light
Images are merging in my sight
And all I’ve learnt is I’ve a very good imagination
This train runs on wild expectation
Oh it’s fast but oh it takes so long
In the nights amidst the sound
Of rolling hills and passing grounds
A fool’s heart beats for the destination
Mountain sides pass through the dark
I’ll stay up late to see the stars
And a milky way beams her constellation
Some nights this is more than compensation
Oh it’s fast but oh it takes so long
You could blame it on your daddy
For the things not done
Come on blame it on your mother
For the songs that she sung
Take it as a lesson or feel it as a hurt
Been fun working out which is better
And which is worse
Waiting on the way... [x 4]
You could blame it on the weather
On the moons and tides
Blame it on your astrological alibis
Hold onto your breathing
Or stand and make your lead
Sometimes laying there wondering - is it me?
As colours drain from these trees
A visitor bring me memories
Seconds flat and I’m on that train again A flash of colour spark of light
These images are blurring in my sights
And now I know I’ve such a very good imagination See this train runs on wild expectation
Oh it’s fast but oh it takes so
Oh it’s fast but oh it takes so long

To the Green (Live)
04:44
|

The wind is blowing in my direction
Bringing me questions
From which I can no longer run
The moonlight shining through these shut blinds
Trying to find me
Trying to remind me
The scent of grasses emerges from my memory
Trying to tempt me
Back to a place I’d loved before
And bless the sunlight who seeks me out in shadow
Won’t let me wallow
Won’t cease till I follow her lead
So I will pack up my bags and head
To the green
To the green
Take a deep breath and give
Myself up to the breeze
To find a place which knows it’s all I’ll ever need
I’ll pack up my bags and I’ll come home
Oh to exchange regretful morning flashes
For a fire’s burning out ashes
Could turn this to a beautiful refrain
I haven’t seen a sunrise for what seems like a lifetime
Yet she was my lifeline
So I will pack up my bags and head
To the green
To the green
Take that deep breath and give
Myself up to the breeze
To find a place which tells the answers that I seek
I’ll pack up my bags and I’ll come home
I’m dreaming
I’m dreaming
It starts with dreaming It starts with dreaming
I dream I’ll pack up my bags and head
To the green
To the green
Take a deep breath and give myself up to the breeze
To find a place that knows it’s all I’ll ever need
Ill pack up my bags and Ill come home
I’ll pack up my bags and I’ll be home
