~ A Little out of Reach ~
I've been thinking for so long now That maybe I should get away To a place that nobody knows of Somewhere I've been losing feeling Though I'm not afraid to cry If there's a feeling inside I like to say that it's alright now But it would be so contrived If I were to lie to myself again She is always dreaming dreams That maybe I could make come true But selfishly I gaze on She is talking he's not listening And I'm a little out of reach Standing in a room silently ~ Bet She Does ~ Thought I'd treat myself this evening Go and hang out with the pigeons Drink some red wine share my good cheese Watch the pretty people passing by An hour later I'm out of wine So I play my broken guitar Watch the people gather round me Naturally I close my eyes and sing They invite me back to their place Where I see a familiar face She's holding me with that stare And I can't help but pretend she's not there She walks over just to tell me That she don't miss me all that much She walked over just to say that: I don't miss you all that much I bet she does Your love travels
Across the seas
No matter where
You seem to be
When you call me
I hear it clear
So call me
Cos I want you hear
My name is strong
Sometimes it stronger than me
When you call me
I hear it clear
So call me
Cos I want you hear ~ Crazy Angel ~ Yes I love your energy And you love my creativity We are children of the sun And we both are crazy Come run with me my crazy angel Let's outshine the stars My moon awaits you crazy angel To lighten my dark side Lighten my dark side Won't you take my hand And come dance in the night Yeah, we'll paint the sky With our light Come run with me my crazy angel Let's outshine the stars My moon awaits you crazy angel To lighten my dark side Lighten my dark side ~ Gentle Surprise ~ I do not want to lose myself again Within clouds of frozen rain But your eyes shining through will help To take away the pain Gentle surprise will cleanse the tide In gentle surprise I can confide In gentle surprise When we are eye to eye No one can break the line And when we are eye to eye We lose track of time Gentle surprise will cleanse the tide In gentle surprise I can confide In gentle surprise You help me find a heaven within my soul It won't be wrong for you to know ~ Is That It ~ Well I never knew you used to be so sad I had no idea we shared a history And all I can say is that I am so glad That we came through and now we're free We were torn down like the trees But now we're stronger than before Though we might need alot of love And somewhere safe we can retreat Is that it, or will we need to start again? Will I need to start again? We find ourselves looking all around Imagining where we can fit Trying to stand against the crowd Is not as easy as it seems I wanna tell it like it is I'm closer than I ever been Gone are the days of disbelief Though I'm standing in a dream Is that it, or will I need to start again? Do we need to start again? ~ Little Rivergirl ~ I will open doors for you I will stand asside and let you move I won't even cry 'til you do I feel it in my soul today Knowing you are here to stay I hear it when I breathe; I'm in tune with the way you feel And all I ever learn in time Is to see you through my childhood eyes Standing with the sun saying: Darling won't you come inside? You are in the way it flows You're Sobek's little rivergirl Head out of your hatch; Waiting for the season's turn The sun has almost gone away Feels as though it's time to pray It's showing us to look beyond; Settle down and reason with the rain And all you ever learn in time Is to see me through your childhood eyes Standing with the sun saying: Darling won't you come outside? ~ Moving On ~ When you finally wake up After the night of the break up Feel like something is missing Piece of your heart has gone with him But soon you will be singing For you can finally follow Those dreams that you have once had And now you can aspire to Got to believe that you are free and moving on... ~ Next Years Summer ~ Looking forward to next years summer I've promised myself to use it better I'll go surfing with the hippies Singing songs for a little money to live Looking forward to next years summer I've promised myself to use it better I could fulfil my aspirations And follow the sun, knowing that I'll see you again You know I would love to stay Where it's summer everyday But that is why I'm here with you 'Cos we can dream this winter through Looking forward to next years summer I've promised myself to use it better I'll go surfing with the hippies Singing songs for a little money to live ~ Outerchild ~ I feel you needing what you want for the child in you Seeing what you've missed makes me reach out Your hands are filled with younger joys that you won't let go It pays to remember things you miss that don't return I'm caught up in the pains that wallow at the heel of your soul So much so I forget to hear myself, do you know what I need? 'Cos I see you missing what you want for child in you And I feel so empty, knowing there's nothing I can do She swam, she swam into the ocean in front of me She knew, she knew she was taking part of me I did not know whether I should follow her I fell to my knees knowing she wanted me to stay away... ~ Putting it to Bed ~ Well it's a filthy sight And I will cover up my tracks tonight My desert skin; I'll leave to dry But it has stained my innermind I know I'm to blame But all this greed I just can't contain And I will ask myself again How much love have I lost us I don't watch tv I don't believe I'm easily led But when it comes inside my head I wish I could put it to bed 'Cos when the real thing comes Will it end without the drums? And when you find something you love Will you love it quite as much? ~ Rise and Die ~ Everything about this song (I'd rather call it a session) was entirely adlibbed and I have know idea what I was singing about. I didn't record it to put it on a cd or let people hear it. I rediscovered it a long time after recording it and felt so much that I had captured something atmospheric that I decided to put it on the Ep I was making at the time (a little out of reach).
download movie, download movies, buy movie online~ Stream ~ If things go well today, I be alright for awhile If things don't come my way, I'll remember to smile Your smile is all I need to bring light to my eyes And resurect the dreams that made me once strive I share my only thoughts away with the wind To be watered down by the broken clouds I show myself for now through waves of sound And through a melody, find a place to be ~ This Idea of us ~
As strong as you seem, you've only seen my softer side You're falling for me, I ought to hide 'Cos you don't know me, though you confide In this idea of us The message is clear, it is an omen we should fear But we won't let this young feeling down So keep me from you and let me drown In this idea of us I don't know you, so you are mostly who I want you to be I'm so aware of you, waiting for me But I won't realise this until you do Oh this Idea of us ~ Why Should I ~ Tonight I wrote a letter to me About all I know Incase I ever unlearn That as far I can see I may have an audacious plan Though I may not be such a lucky man And so why in the world should I; Wait in line? You say I learn to suffer Well maybe I will learn to change And relieve myself of the strain So put away your papers and let's talk I don't wanna play Let's not lose another day Tell me why in the world should we; Wait in line? ~ You know you wanna do ~ We've been thinking through this And you know that we should be 'Cos there ain't nothing like this Love you know you wanna do Remembering my old ways Don't know how I made it through But now i understand that I was right to not give up I've been so dilerious Without you by my side I've been so defeate Only love can move me now I'm coming over baby Got to see your loving eyes I'm gonna take away all of your pain And we'll watch the heavens cry Let's move away
From these bright lights
And see what lies
Behind our eyes
Was it just lastnight
That we caught alight
Will you or I
Forget
All these sundreams
Kept me wondering
Nothing prepared me
For this
Will you come with me tonight
Show me why this just is right
Don't want to scare you off
But I wont deny
A change of heart
Alive again
Alive again
Woke up and I know it's true
Some things they will come to you
On a road you can take
Don't don't tell me what is right
cos I'm seeing a different light
On a road I can take
And the thing is
When it all comes to an end
Will you see what I mean then?
Right now is a time to change
To find yourself a better lane
On a road you can take
There is a road I know you can make
And the thing is
When it all comes to an end
Will you care about the ones
Who made you do it for them
And so tell me
When it all comes to an end
Will you see what I mean then?
I'm taking the long way round
Find myself a safer ground
On a road I can take
There is a road I just know we can make
What kind of planet are you from
To step right into my space
Cut me up with your moves
Lend me something to chase
If I could move
I would be the one circling you
But I will wait until
All is clear
You entangle my world
You have caught me off-guard
And I am struggling to see
Just how much you have me
If I could move
I would be the one circling you
But I will wait until
All is clear
All is clear
All is still
All is here
All is real
You have been strong in my mind today
Who that I love stands in my way
Keeps me from trying, who am I to say?
My love is dying to be on your way
Why am I always drawn to the darkest light
It seems that I believe I can help it shine
But what can i offer what can I do
To keep us together & to bring you something new
Let me see the lines upon your face
Invite me in to dance in your darkest place
To dance in your darkest place...
Can we dance in your darkest place
Holding on to the evening sun
And there's a burning, a new light
On the edge when everything's been said
Just a dream til tomorrow
I've seen over the other side
But still I am afraid to try
Too many times have I been satisfied
With just an idea to show for
Could this be my chance to bring it home
And make a real life to follow
I've seen over the other side
But still I am afraid to try
My heart leans to the open sky
