And We Climb
03:44

Look up at these houses
See the curtains
Holding back the light on empty rooms
There’s nothing there to hide
See this row of houses
Not a soul disturbs this street
Just strangers up above
And our voices down below.
Like a ghost town
Wandering through
It’s just you and me
See the ivy holding fast
What crumbles beneath
And we climb
Over the balustrade
We climb
These are the plans we’ve made
We go to find our own space
Deserted town
Deserted place
Where paper traps the light
And the cold from the outside.
Dusty stairways
Broken glass
The writing’s on the wall
As the Man denies us truth
We wait for the Fall
As we go underground
Our voices disappear
Though they’re keeping you
Safe and Monied
They’re taking you’re choice
And they’ll take your name
The people who stay
Aren’t the ones to blame.

My Ideal
04:58
|
|||
I’ve had all kinds of easy
And it’s been complicated
But I took it for granted
That it’s not that simple
That it’s not that easy
I’ve had all for nothing
And I’ve been all the way down
I’ve been higher than I could stand
At the cost of living
At the cost of loving
And everything I wanted
I couldn’t find
I had to keep on running
And leave behind
My ideal.
I have sailed the oceans
And I’ve swam the river wide
And I’ve climbed over the highest peaks
On the search for something
Didn’t know there was someone

Beholden
03:54
|
|||
Do you find you’re spending the time
Concerned with who you see
Endless sharing always comparing
Wondering how to be
Never let yourself be told
Cos its a lie that you’ve been sold
That one can’t be enough
You’re not beholden to anyone
Fame is fleeting always competing
Still misunderstood
Love affection changing direction
Rarely coming good
Take your eyes up from the ground
Open wide and watch things come around
Theres no-one else to show you how to feel
Now its all been rarified
Don’t believe that you must live a lie
Sometimes its hard to read between the lines

Empty
03:35
|
|||
I once knew this house
Better than you
I chose the colours of the walls
The furniture too,
But such is new love
Old memories fade
It’s just my being here
Reminds me of yesterday.
And now that it’s empty
I sit here alone with my back on the wall
Underneath where that famous photograph hung
I knew this house.
And a door once was open
Now leads the way to a blank empty space
Marks on the floor that with time will erase
Shadows on the wall are temporal.
And there’s nothing here to be done or said.
Cos it’s the saddest thing
The sweetest pain at all,
And I’ve been here before.

Endless Clouds
04:40
|
|||
The endless clouds go by
Without a care who is watching,
And I wonder what will become
of this moment?
It seems that we need to be told
The strength and weight of our feelings,
A solemnity as the credits roll
I shall an old movie dreamily watch.
I would marvel at the moon
Make eyes at the stars
Scream into the night
And be like everyone.
(who wants to fade away)
But if we choose to not look back
At what has come before,
History repeats itself again and again.
So who would like to take the blame?
Calling out for all you sinners,
Knowing that doing nothing
Is the same as doing something,
I shall an old movie dreamily watch.
It’s too loud- can’t sleep,
Too many noises and disturbances
In the silence that we keep.
To stay awake - resist to sleep,
Or succumb with the reckless masses
To a waking dream.

Song 40

Early morning
Autumn dawning
And you.
T and me
And all we want to do.
I will never tire of this view.
So take my hand and walk with me,
See the world beneath our feet,
The city breathes,
And here we keep
Our little home.
Night departs
And leaves a sparkling dew.
Green birds fly
Into a sky of brilliant blue.
I will never tire of this view.
(So take my hand and walk with me
See the world beneath our feet,
The city sleeps
And here we keep
Our little home)

La Loba
03:57
|
|||
In the desert
Theres a woman
She lives there alone.
She’s protecting
And preserving
What would be lost to the world,
What we try to hide.
Inside her cave is filled with hair and bones,
Resurrecting life is what she has to do,
Assembling every piece
To make the skeleton of a creature,
A wolf is standing strong like a stone.
Around the fire
She sings a dances
And looks to the moon.
The body rises
And takes its first steps
And breathing alone,
As her voice rings out.
Full of life it leaps across the starlit sky,
Eyes wide, heading for the canyon deep,
To sing the woman calls upon
a breath of truth and wonder,
To bring to life the wild soul again.
Somewhere under a ray of moonlight,
A splash from the river,
Dust from the ground.
Somewhere, the wolf begins transforming,
A woman
Running free towards a dark horizon.
In desert by the moonlight
You go with resolve,
You must uncover and rediscover
A bundle of bones
That is hidden deep.
We all must undertake this work alone,
Descending into what will lie beneath,
The resurrection promises
to connect us with the wild soul,
And bring her into vital shape again.

Talk
04:17
|
|||
We all have a lot to learn,
Still fighting one another.
Don’t let the resistance burn,
Mother, daughter, sister.
I hear the opposition,
Is it coming from within you?
An archetypal coalition
Still continues.
And it’s clear for all to see,
Written in history,
But if fiction’s to be believed,
She was visionary.
What makes you think
that I don’t want to talk about it?
Whenever you want to know about it,
I wanna talk about it.
A clock is ticking at the door
But it’s only her who hears.
She wonders what the struggle’s for,
All these years.
We sit here surrounded,
Objects, items.
If fictions unfounded,
Take it, show them.
Unintended consequences,
We always act in the dark.
The darkness of closed eyes
Against the darkness of the unknown,
We always act in the dark.

Holding On
04:06
|
|||
Holding on,
Even when you cannot find your way.
So hold on,
Breathe it in
Surrender to the waves.
You’re holding on to find a better way to be,
For everything that you’ve done
For everyone who you cared for.
You’re holding on to find a better way to be,
Not to fall in love.
Holding on
Just holding on,
Even in the longest, clouded night.
So hold on
Only out of darkness comes the light.
Words mean nothing when the storm comes in,
Two worlds collide and darkness falls,
It’s over.
Take this lesson
Mark it on the wall,
Finally see the road which lies before you.
