~ 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

~ Call Me ~
 
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).

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?
 
back to the top

~ 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

~ Alive Again ~
 
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
 
 
~ The Thing Is ~
 
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
 
 
~ Invaded ~
 
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
 
 
~ Darkest Light ~
 
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
 
 
~ A New Light ~
 
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
