To Be With
03:22
|

Kick off our boots at the foot of the door
Chasing the sun down to the shore
Brick around a heart to build a home
Borrow the light to steal the dawn
All my life I have been
Hid from the storm
Safe from harm
Tie my lips to your heart
For where you go
That's where I start
To be with
Spring turns to dust, hair to grey
Children grow then move away
Chasing the light at the end of the day
The radio hum is all that can stay
All my life I have been
Hid from the storm
Safe from harm
Throw my bones to the wind
For where you go
That's where I begin
To be with
To be with him

The Roots In The Wires
05:07
|
|||
Step out of the doorway
Another town, another face among the crowd
These hills are not mine
And my feet fall heavy on the ground
But who knows which way you'd go
If the night was at your back
Over water, through thin air
Head down until the morning comes
But the roots in the wires will grow
Like babies who are far from home
Carried on the breeze
Over the highest fence
By love without consequence
Lifted in each other's arms
All young mothers know
That time has no place to go
It's drifting on our dreams
Bring back the olive trees
the western seas of old
But the roots in the wires will bloom
When autumn calls
Rain-stained inkwells spreading fear
Of all they do not know
One boy drowned on TV, a thousand miles away
But who knows which way you'd go
If the night was at your back
Over water, through thin air
Head down until the morning comes
But the roots in the wires will grow
Like babies who are far from home
Carried on the breeze
Over the highest fence
By love without consequence
Lifted in each other's arms
All young mothers know
That time has no place to go
It's drifting on our dreams
Bring back the olive trees
The Western seas of old
But the roots in the wires will bloom
When autumn calls

Five Years Old
04:12
|
|||
Glass fields and parking lots, cut through an iron sky
Chrome paper aeroplanes take all of our goodbyes
Bring some back again
Forget this winter's call
False starts, small change, four walls
All that you have built on tears, 60-hour weeks
But brother, can you remember?
Five years old, forever side by side
Racing heights up on the wall
Till the sun, and us, must fall
But boys turn to men, don't you know
Get lost on the lines of the road
Today to you is tomorrow in a field of yesterdays
And even though we share the moon
The clouds don't seem the same from fifty miles high
Five years old, forever side by side
Racing heights up on the wall
Till the sun, and us, must fall
But boys turn to men, don't you know
Get lost on the lines of the road
Fell deep in the ocean
Tide ripped and broke
Pull me out of the ocean
Pull me out of the sea
Tonight
Five years old, forever side by side
Five years old, forever side by side
But boys turn to men, don't you know
Get lost on the lines of the road

UNFOLD
03:53
|

Unfold every lie
Rewind and replay
Falling into blue
Let down in your mind
It's you hurting you
Repeating the family line
So switch off the day
All these bruises you carry will fade
To follow the coast
And not lay down and give up the ghost
If it's more than you
You feel you can take
He was your life
Every kiss a crime
Stolen and out of time
Don't lay down your head
Breathing out the day-to-day
To follow the coast
Crying I'm not alone in this
I'm not alone is this
I'm not alone
If it's more than you
You feel you can take
If it's more than you
You feel you can take
Then hold on
Hold on

New Year's Prayer
04:01
|
|||
Hope hung high
Above our arms
A crooked sky
Is falling down on us
Just a child leading the marching band
This new year's prayer
Is nowhere to be found
Bring it back to me
No powdered blood movie trick
No punchline
No waltz in the final scene
Just a child leading the marching band
This new year's prayer
Is nowhere to be found
Bring it back to me
Reverse my careless youth
Turn back the lowest hours
They're marking up the stones
My comfort and my home
My comfort and my home
Pulled apart by morning bells
A part of you I never tell
Falls away
Fade away
Scattered all your hopes and dreams
A part of you I'd never seen
Falls away
Fade away
'Cause I won't wait
for the space you leave
To ever fade
To fade away
Love over wires
Radio waves
Drown your words
You're loved and lost in days
Just a child leading the marching band
This new year's prayer
Is nowhere to be found

Blackout
03:52
|
|||
It was only a dance
Two bodies held time for a while
He's taking your hand
The air grows thin
My heart skips a beat
Blackout the last light
All days will be night
Blackout in my heart
As you dance to the moon
The satellite's down
Our last broadcast is in the ground
The lies that we keep
Safe from the ones we adore
Blackout the last light
All days will be night
Blackout in my heart
As you dance to the moon
I've got my fill of this guilt
I'll share it with you
I hear the warning
But I stop, start, continue
I don't care who I hurt
I don't care who I hurt
As you dance to the moon
Blackout the last light
All days will be night
Black out in my heart
As you dance to the moon

Everyone is watching from afar
Settle down
And have that kid you want
So bad
We could be so happy
If I gave up on all my dreams
Childish things
Take that road to Italy
To be the one
Be adored
Don't come back
All because
Everyone is watching from afar
Settle down
And have that kid you want
So bad
Take your life
And live it while you can
Everyone is watching from afar
And who, who in their life
Finds love, and really keeps it
Who in their life
Finds love, and really keeps it alive
Everyone is watching from afar
Settle down
And have that kid you want
So bad
Take your life
And live it while you can
Everyone is watching from afar
It's too late
It's too late

Bloodlines
03:23
|
|||
Heavy in the road after thirty years of leaving
Four in the morning
Falling like the frost upon my lips
And words I don't believe in
You and me
The more I give I lose
In a picture without meaning
It's more than miles
That keep me from returning
Blood from my blood
We're all that's left
Torn from the start
In a past I'd put to rest
Unravel the cost
It's not only you who feels this loss
No family tree
No bloodlines
Could bring me back
In the end
Crashing with the waves
But I'm stubborn and I'm tired
Of giving in
Holding back your fist
I guess I am my mother
Falling in the breeze
Forgive then set adrift
Blood from my blood
We're all that's left
Torn from the start
In a past I'd put to rest
Unravel the cost
It's not only you who feels this loss
No family tree
No bloodlines
Could bring me back
In the end
I know I must go
And leave this all behind
This sky is overflowing
When will we be done
Have we lost our way
Tell me why
Blood from my blood
We're all that's left
Torn from the start
In a past I'd put to rest
Unravel the cost
It's not only you who feels this loss
No family tree
No bloodlines
Could bring me back
In the end

Blackberry Wood
03:33
|

Draw lines on our face
Paint in the years
Weathered and worn
Not by you, not my me
We lost on St James
Barefoot and screaming
Forever seemed too long ago
To know
Seen shadows that grow
From ten feet below
The cost of a silent I do
The boats of Le Havre
Are hung at half mast
For our leaving
Cold city lights
Run all through the night
Too heaving for the morning
So hold on to these bar room scenes
Leave out your heart on a wire
Don't pity our time
Don't hang on each line
Leave out your heart on a wire
New skin for old bones
Blackberry Wood
We lost the fear in our step
We lost the way
Broken down vows
Like ash in the sky
Never more lost
Than we're found
But the boats of Le Havre
Are hung at half mast
For our leaving
Cold city lights
Run all through the night
Too heaving for the morning
So hold on to these bar room scenes
Leave out your heart on a wire
Don't pity our time
Don't hang on each line
Leave out your heart on a wire
Loves fully grown, we leave alone
Leave out your heart on a wire
Forgive with falling of snow
Leave out your heart on a wire

Boarding my flight
Back home from Narita
There was ice on the wing
And a pain in my head
Wheels spinning slow
All the way to the airport
The storm hit the rain
And the rain hit the storm
But I couldn't get over
Your words said in anger
About my life
And about our mother
But oh brother
I know how hard it's been for you in this life
Friends don't come easy
How foolish I was
To think it could be
Any different for us
I carry this fear
Of losing my parents
What would I be
Would it be years between seeing each other
Would you pick up the phone
And call your own brother
Our dad, he turns seventy this year
He'll fly to you to celebrate in Japan
It breaks my heart daily
That I won't be there
I don't feel welcome
I don't know how I can
Boarding my flight
Back home from Narita
There was ice on the wing
