Easier

Stumbles and hollows
Not knowing where to begin
Thought that I knew this
Now it’s all sink and swim
When I close my eyes
I tumble down cords and stones
Could I stay for a while?
No promises, plans or thrones
Could it be easy
Could it be easier? X 2
In the darkness there’s stories
Voices of bears and crones
Moon stopped at midnight
Feeling so far from home
The creatures they tell me
We’ll untangle roots and reeds
Right now I’m running through water
In the shadows of upside-down trees
They say…
It’s gonna be easy
Gonna be easier x 2
I don’t wanna fall
I don’t wanna fall
I don’t wanna fall down
But it’s happening
But it’s happening now
Fall into easy
Fall into easier x 2
It’s gonna be easy
Gonna be easier
Gonna be easy
Gonna be easier
Real dreams they come they come
Oh they come to a deeper sleep
(No promises, plans or thrones)
Real dreams they come they come
Oh they come to a deeper sleep

Was
04:36

I was a raincloud particles of sky
I was the owl howling through the night
[I was a squirrel running from the fox
I was the caged the hemmed the caught the boxed
I was magician king and queen of power
Politician I was a tiny meadow flower]*
I was a healer healing for my wine
I was a sinner rotting for my crime
So we sing along and the song goes on x 2
Who are we? x 2
I was a hunter brandishing a gun
I was the hunted my family’s blood did run
I was a jester laughing at the times
I was the river running down the sides
So we sing along and the song goes on x 2
Who are we? x 2
The spring turns to winter turns to winter
Turns to spring
Do you do you feel do you feel anything?
Do you feel?
Do you remember?
Who are we? Who are we?

Little Lights
04:29
|

|
In just a day
So much can change
All your greens run to red
You say you’re ok
In your hospital bay
Watching particle physics in bed
But it’s bringing up everything
That’s sad and blue
We tried to sing you a happy song
To get you through
Made us all count our blessings
There’s one for every star in the sky
And for everything that went wrong today
There’s a hundred million more little lights
Little lights (lights)
Little lights (lights)
For you
When I first wrote this song
None of this had begun
It was all blankets, chocolates, festival skies
Suddenly a change
And you’re all rearranged
And you breath in each second of life
But it’s pushing the edges out
Of what you knew
It reminds us of everything
That’s sad
And good
And true
Makes us all
Count our blessings
There’s one for every star in the sky
And for everything that wrong today
There’s a hundred million more little lights
Little lights (lights)
Little lights (lights)
Little lights (lights)
Little lights (lights)
For you
We feel
Oh how we feel (ooo)
Oh how we feel
Oh how we feel
With you

End of the Day
04:20
|

|
On an evening of normal
At the end of the day
We had done all our talking
The rack was drying our plates
In a moment of stillness
Your hands sang the chords that we play
I know your words are not many
Your hands sing more than you say
Then you sang...lye lye lye…
So I've taken your music
I hope that you do not mind
It's just that chorus - it moved me
Words I've been longing to find
Songs are many and varied
Can take an age to create
I love how something so simple
Can be all that it takes
Can be all that it takes
We sang... lye lye lye…
On an evening of normal
At the end of the day

Long Lost
02:37
|
|||
|
You ask me to write a song
It’s not been long
It’s been my forever
Sometimes I think it’s too late
I’m showing grey
Are we too estranged
To cross the distance?
Cos' it’s stirring up dust of years
Could it burn through the bitterness here?
It started long ago
We didn’t know
We were not in existence
Time they bided
I held my tongue
Scared of being wrong
I was the great pretender
I waded through all their tears
Listened to all their fears
But you’re my long lost
And it’s just love
I don’t mean to hurt you
I just want to be sincere
I think this could burn through the bitterness
Burn through the history here
It started long ago
You’re just my long lost
And it’s just love
And it’s just love
And it’s just love

Ocean Song
04:04
|
|||
|
Horse I know I am heavy
I’m harbouring secrets deep
Take us to the ends of the world
There I shall set you free
For among these loads I’ve a burden
Of this unrequited dream
But by sunrise all my wrongs will be right
Sunken in the sea
For I’ll send this heart to the ocean
To wash upon an unnamed shore
Bind it up with all this love
I’ll know him no more
Too long have I been yielding
To this beating of my chest
To those sonnets and songs
Where my wisdom is wronged
Tethered to unrest
Wise women they scold me
But they sold me prayers for alms
Now I bring here their words
Their potions of birds
To give myself a chance
Oh
So I’ll send this heart to the ocean
To wash upon an unnamed shore
Bind it up with all this love
I’ll know him no more
And oh, on I go
On I go
Sad and slow
Until down below
Down below
Take me home
So I’ll send this heart to the ocean
To wash upon an unnamed shore
Bind it up with all this love
I’ll know him no more
Horse I know I’m heavy
Harbouring secrets deep
Take us to the ends of the world
There I shall set you free

Used To

Eyes like a china doll
Is it taking its toll?
Is it taking its toll?
Skin so close
Yet so cold
Sorry had you never been told?
Had you never been told?
I used to think your love could save me
But you said goodbye
Said you’d destroy me
Oh, you let me go
I used to think if I changed or could change you
I could break, mend, fix, rearrange you
Now I know
Why you said goodbye
A face full of stories you left untold
Never let it unfold
Why can’t you let it unfold?
The healing comes but when it is called
Oh and I would hear it all
I’d hear it all
I used to think your love could save me
But you said goodbye
Said you’d destroy me
Oh you let me go
I used to think if I changed or could change you
I could break mend fix rearrange you
Now I know
Why you said goodbye
If I could
If I could then I would send this back in time
Send a song saying “girl, you’re gonna be alright
Nothing’s wrong carry on gonna be just fine” x 2
Oh I used to
Oh I used to
Oh I used to
But I grew and I grew and I grew
If I could…
(Da da da da da…) Oh I used to…

What Will I Be?
02:14

What will I
What will I be?
Oh what will I
What will I be?
In between these stars and the blood in me
What will I
What will I be?
And what will I
What will I do?
Oh what will I
What will I do?
Because I feel so small and my heart’s in two
What will I
What will I do
Mmmm
And when will they
When will they feel?
Oh when will they
When will they feel?
What’s it going to take
For them to grieve and kneel?
When will they
When will they feel?
And what will I
What will I say?
Oh what will I
What will I say?
When the young ones ask what I did today
What will I
What will I say?
Mmmm

Willow
04:16
|

|
There’s a song
From the rocks and earth we dwell upon
Rarely spoken yet it’s written on
Each and every face you’ll ever see
Remember
A thread
And it’s from the heart not its the head
Waiting always to be found again
Singing silence neath the noise and void
If you said it’s gone
I’d say that you were wrong
If you said it’s gone
You could find it in the willow
You could find it out to sea
You could hear it in the hollow
Of any dark forgotten tree
I think I sensed it in the sunrise
Almost knew it at sunset
It is singing in the voices
That come to here from the place
That I forget
Can you hear weaving through the cracks?
Bringing magic to these bricks and flats
Rising harmonies of webs and tracks
Billions calling out for something gone
And the winds they blow
At night through those windows closed
Seeking a hand to hold
To tell of their stories old
Cos it gets so cold
I know it gets so cold
If I could just behold
You could find it in the willow
You could find it out to sea
You could hear it in the hollow
Of any dark forgotten tree
I think I sensed it in the sunrise
Almost knew it at sunset
It is singing in the voices
That come to here from the place
That I forget
If you said it’s gone
If you said it’s gone…

Made to Love You
03:12
|
|||
|
You’ve been going on so long
On your road
Your road of right and wrong
Like the sun had never shone
On your heart
On your heart at all
And the years go on I know
Turn around
They’re all covered with snow
And your scars don’t seem to go
But my heart was made to love you
And it breaks my heart to love you
I don’t expect you to change
I don’t expect the stars to rearrange
And I’ve got nothing to gain
My heart was made to love you
Oh my heart was made to love you
Our hearts are made to break
I don’t believe there’s only so much we can take
Oh mmm
Oh my heart was made to love you
Oh my heart was made to love you
Oh my heart was made to love you
Oh my heart was made to love you
Oh oooo

Tin Pan Pocket
05:44

I got a tin pan pocket
Heavy as a rocket
Like some bad charm locket today
I had a fire in my belly
But when I get this heavy
I know everything will get in my way
Get in my way
I got a tin pan pocket
Heavy as a rocket
Like some bad charm locket today
I had a fire in my belly
But when I get this heavy
I know everything will get in my way
I’m getting in my way
So I’ll sit by firelight
Sitting by my side
Yesterdays are slipping away
Oh my dusty eyes
Goodbyes come alive
I’ve arrived at this new today
Hey hey hey
Hello! Hello!
Can you hear me now I’m miles away?
I’m calling
Hello my own blood and bone
Can you hear me now I’m miles
Hear me now I’m miles away
Ooooo
Mmm…

Send the starlight from above
To the ones I know and love
Rays of sunlight on your path
Tended fires in your heart
Bring the rains of joy and peace
To fall always at your feet
When you find yourself in black
Hear the voice that brings you back
Send the starlight from above
To the ones I know and love
To the ones of roots and leaves
May you live your centuries
To the ones of sea and sky
May our troubles pass you by
To the ones I cannot see
Protect hold and comfort me
Until we meet again one day
Stay beside me on my way
Send the starlight from above
To the ones I know and love
Send a blessing to my love
Send the starlight from above
Tender kisses on your heart
May we never be apart
Send the starlight from above
To the ones I know and love
