I run, You hide
We try so hard sometimes
But please know,
that my heart's in the right place
my heart is in the right place
I just can't keep a straight face
I sing the world away
You dance, but only when you're drunk
But please know,
that my heart's in the right place,
my heart is in the right place
I'm just not in the right frame
of mind

Goodbye

Hello my lady friend
I once believed I'd be with you to the end
but then you started something
that I could not believe in
and then I started thinking
about empires and stealing away
from this here town
So Goodbye my lady friend
I'm sure one day we'll meet again
cos I know we had something
but it wasn't to last
there were too many others
and we were moving to fast
for the train
and no we ain't so different
but we sure aren't the same
and I know you had your problems
cos they're driving me insane
I'm sure you'll find another
maybe I'll find a girl that I can tame
So we'll go our own way in the morn
and I'll just keep on singing my songs
of good hearted fools
and of long forgotten memories of home
of fantasy and fortune
of politics and greed
of waking up this morning
and of drifting off to sleep
of rich men and of poor men and of drunks
of everything and nothing
of any time or place
of wars and of indifference
and of that pretty little face of yours

Somebody Told Me

Somebody told me
you got to be free
but nobody told me
just what that means
I think it's all in my head
somebody told me
you've got to be saved
but why or from what
no they did not say
I think it's all in my head
but if you know what it is I'm doing here
and why it is I'm working so hard
please won't you tell me

While I run
Underneath the sun
needs to be done
While I care
I will always be there
no matter how far
While I stand
here on my own
it was there all along
while I try
to find my way
back home
it was wrong to cry
it as wrong to deny
but if it had gone any other way
we'd never realign
now I must find my way
back to the world
while I still have a reason
to watch it unfurl
my mind opens up to me
and tells me how to be
like a reflection
the sun over the sea
it was wrong to cry
it as wrong to deny
but if it had gone any other way
we'd never realign

Sometime
04:31

I came back from the other side
back for another ride
but I can only stay for a little while
I came back for the sun and sea
for one more breath before the leap
You have to grow up sometime
I just don't think I will ever be ready
to give up all I've walked towards
and turn my back on what I've got
I know it's not a lot
but it's all I need
I guess I'm scared of being dragged into the tide
by the draw of the grass on the other side
and the call in the back of my mind
You have to grow up sometime
I just don't think I will ever be ready

Just Another Holiday
02:51
|

I came back for the sunshine
and left wet head to toe from the rain
I came back for the starlight
but the clouds they weren't so keen on giving way
It's just expectation to blame
cos I don't remember rating the weather that much anyway
I came back thinking of you
and wondering just how much you'd changed
but your eyes were still blue and your hair it still grew
and you still laughed like you'd never seen no pain
There's a rose tint to my mirror
cos all those things I liked, they were there
it's just those things that I didn't
they all came back again
it's strange to feel like I'm coming home
so far away
strange to feel like I'm coming home,
that it was just another holiday

Mama
02:56

Makes me think of old friends and lost loves
after the sadness has passed
makes me wonder how I've spent my time,
and how it's made my past
and how the past has made me who I am
and the present I am happy in
is formed from things so long ago
but so fresh in my mind
Makes me realise the worth of things
and that sadness rarely lingers
makes me understand that happiness
comes from the strangest places
makes me learn to try not to forget
all the long lost faces
that have touched me with their touch,
and left me with their love
Mama you've been on my mind
I hope it's there that you remain
cos lessons will be learned from love
and hate just the same
cos all that comes to pass,
it will come to pass again
I just hope that I am ready,
and willing to be changed
